The Next Census.

Assistant Director Wines of the new
census bureau has recently made some
statements regarding its work which
will be of special interest to the gen.
eral public. He announces that there
will be no more appointments on the
staff for at least 30 days, and that un-
til the returns come back from the emu
merators in July, 1900, there will be
no clerks appointed save the small
force necessary to carry on the gen.
eral correspondence of the bureau. He
states very emphatically that high
grade of efficiency will be insisted
upon in all appointments, that all APP
plicants will be rigidly examined as to
their qualifications, and that no
amount of political influence will avail
to put an employe upon the pay-rolls
whoSis not fully competent to do the
work assigned him. Mr.. Wines fur
Their declares that in the event of any
employee proving incompetent for the
proper performance of his duties upon
actual trial he will promptly be dis
charged regardless of his political
backing.
Following the selection of the gen.
eral administrative officers of the de-
800 supervisors who will have charge
and direction of the work in the vari-
Gus states. These supervisors will
have the appointment of the $1,000 emu
merators who will do the actual
work of gathering statistics through
the country. In the general work OF
the department it is thought that
system of machine calculating VIII De
employed which will not only insure
absolute accuracy. but Will admit d
counting facts in combination, thus
greatly facilitating the progress OF the
work. In counting the population it
has been decided to use Il separate
card for each individual.
The importance of this work can
scarcely be over-estimated. The emu
merators should be capable men
who will perform their duties with alb
solute fidelity and painstaking thor
oughness. There was a feeling in this
State ten years ago, whether just or
not, that much of the work of emu
meration was hastily and imperfect
~ done. One thing is certain it is not
a work to be done by young and in
experienced boys in any community.
State should be made to figure in the
total population.

Under the present protective tariff
the wool-growing industry of the
United States has been greatly revived
and encouraged in the past two years,
and the country has been able to sup
ply its own needs more nearly than in
any previous year. We have i'm
be furnished by our own wool growers
Our demands upon other nations nee
essarily depend upon the amount Of
wool grown and manufactured here
each year. In 1893 we imported nearly
$43, 0OO, 900 worth. The next year it fell
to $29. COG, 900. In 1895, during the latter
part of Cleveland's free trade admin
istration, when our markets were open
to the wool manufacturers of Europe.
our wool imports reached the high
water mark of nearly $9l 100000. The
next year, the first of the operation of
the Dingley tariff, the wool imports
dropped to $57, 90O,0O0 though the fol-
lowing year. owing to causes decreas-
ing the domestic supply and the con-
gestion of the market due to heavy
importations in anticipation of the
tariff, the imports ran up to 100000 600.
Last year, however, they dropped to
$26, FOG, 900, the smallest wool imports
for two decades From 1887 to 1893, the
average annual wool imports amount
ed to $50, 900, 900.

New York, Sept 22.-The recuperative
tendency on the stock exchange gained
decided force during the progress of to-
days trading. The uneasiness abroad
was an element at the opening and
changes were small and irregular and
the tone of the speculation hesitating.
Anaconda was notably affected by dis
appointment of British holders over the
amount of the dividend and dropped
nearly points from yesterdays closing
level here. The pressure against American
Tobacco was also in evidence and Brook
Ign Transit had struggle to overcome
its opening decline. The latter eventu-
ally moved upward and, though it fell
again below last nights level. It's adj
vancing tendency afterwards was slim
ulating influence on the market through
out the day. .-.-,
The stocks of New York city corpora
tions showed close sympathy with the
movement in Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
many rumors were prevalent to account
of the latter. pointing to plan of unity
for the control of all public utilities in
the greater city of New York. The fact
that interests which have been in con-
f1ict in the local gas war are more or
less identified with the various traction
companies gave key to the rumor. Net
gains in this group. including Manhat-
TAM Metropolitan Street Railway, Brook
lyn Transit, Consolidated Gas and Brook
lyn Union Gas ranged from ~ to points
The movement in the specialties was
most conspicuous throughout the day,
but rather notable demand sprang up
for the railroads attracted by a sudden
rise in Omaha of IA points. in North
west of points and in New York Cen
trail of ~ points. These gains were not
maintained but there was notable buying
all day of Southern Pacific and of the
grangers. One Or two of the Southwest
erns advanced well.
The movement in the railroads did not
extend far outside these limits. except
for some obscure stocks. Peoples Gas
was strong in sympathy with Brooklyn
Transit and there were good advances in
Sugar and Tennessee Coal. American
Hoop and Federal Steel showed strength
and Pullman rose an additional ~ points
on rumors of an extra dividend. There
was a very heavy demand in the last
hour for the leather stocks, which was a
material factor in overcoming the reac-
tionary tendency of the market u s.
Leather common advanced to ISIS and the
preferred to 1875, closing at the top. The
general market closed steady under these
sustaining influences somewhat below the
best. Speculative opinion was inclined
for a favorable bank statement to-mor-
row and was much cheered thereby.
