MUST COUNT EVERY TEN YEARS
Taking the Census is Made Obligatory
 By the Constitution.

Pfob2b ply most people are not aware
 that the taking of the census every ten years is a constitutional duty. Sec
 ton Of the constitution, which pre-
 scribes the qualifications of reuresen-
 tatives in congress and their auoor-
 tIonment among the states according to population, provides that "the emu
 meration shall be made within three
 years after the first meeting of the congress of the United States and within every subsequent term of ten years" The constitution was adopted in 1789 and the first census was taken in 1790. The provision above quoted shows that 1t was intended simply es a basis for apportioning representatives 1t was therefore merely an enumera- tion of the population without any other statistics. This was the first di- rect and complete enumeration of population ever made by any govern ment Singularly enough it gave rise to the first veto of an act of congress by an American president. On the 5th Of April, 1792, Washington sent to the house of representatives the fol- lowing message:
 q have maturely considered the act passed by the two houses entitled An act for an apportionment of represen- tatives among the several states ac- cording to the first enumeration and I return it to your house, wherein it with the following objec tions:
 'HF'irst-The constitution has pre- scribed that representatives shall be among the several states according to their respective numbers, and there is no one proportion or di- vision which, applied to the respective numbers of the states, will yield the number and allotment of the bill.
 'fSecond-The constitution has also that the number of represen- 1 ,atives shall not exceed one for every l 90 900, which restriction is by the con- i ext and by fair and obvious construc- | ion to be applied to the separate and ! respective numbers of the states; and | he bill has allotted to eight of the | tates more than one for every 3O,O0O.

A newspaper man who recently went
 up the state to take charge of a rural
 sheet and give his tired brain a rest has come back to town and is hustling
 for his old job "The country is all
 right" lie declares, but there is too
 much happening, and I came back 10
 town to find a more restful atmos-
 phere There. were two papers in
 town, and I had to watch the other.
 Both published Friday, and we could not afford to let the other fellows beat us on news. The first issue looked all right, but the old man kicked because we were scooped on the death of COW on a farm three miles cut of town, and would not be consoled when I showed him that the opposition hal missed a story we had on an accident in the railroad yard. The next week it was the same way; we did not an- nounce that the baker had lost ten leaves of bread from his delivery cart, and there was a howl that rather sick ened me of the country.
 "The third week settled the job. We were all ready to start to press when tn old man rushed in greatly excited and announced that he had a beat. We lifted off one form and Waited while the old chap wrote out his story, and this is what I had to kill one of my pet small editorials for: We notice that George w Haskins is making prepar- ations to improve the appearance of his cosy home in Protection street i'll the spring. We noticed MT. Haskins in close conversation with MT.

HOW ROOM WAS MADE.

A little black-eyed and nimble- tongued street car conductor in Dub lin came into the car and called out, in his peculiarly penetrating voice: ::
 "Wan seat on the roight! Sit closer on the roight, ladies an gintlemin, an mek room for Teddy phWat's stand ing''
 A big, burly looking man who was occupying space enough for two, said, suilenly:
 we can't sit any closer.'
 Cant yes?" retorted the little con ductor- ~Begorra, you niver wint cortin', thin.''

CHRIsT's CROWN OF THoRNs.
Investigations by q French Scientis;
 Throw Much Light Upon It.


 Some in5e~esting facts in regard to the crown of thcrns which Christ wore during His crucifxion have just been brought to light by M du MeIy, dis tinguished French scientist. This subject has occupied his attention for a considerable time, and at the last meeting of the Academy of Inscrip- tions. at Paris, he related the facts which he has ascertained in regard to 1t. His statements were regarded by all present as entirely reliable, and mainly because he is known to be one of the greatest living authorities on all matters connected with the crucif1xion. At the beginning of the present cen tury the general opinion among chu~chmen 'Nas that, cut of all the thorns which had once formed part of the crown, there were only twenty seven then in existence. M. du Mely, however, now says that he can clearly trace tie history of 560 thorns, and that the most likely places in which to find them now would be the cities of Jerusalem, Paris and Constantl- nopIe.
 In 1239, large pieces of the crown Of
 
 1247 they became the property of St. Louis, who built a costly shrine, in which they were securely guarded. Al thF& time the number Of thorns in the shine was seventy-two. but this num- Der must have been increased within a few years, for we are assured that Louis and his immediate successors presented sixty thorns to various princes, churches and cloister5 throughout Europe, and yet that, after this distribution had been made, twenty-three thorns remained as the property of the French king.
 With enc of these latter, by the way, a tragic incident is connected When Mary Queen of Scots left France she toog one in with her as one Of her choicest treasures, and throughout her eVentfuI career she never failed to wear it, and after she was executed her attendants found it close to her heart In the Church of Notre Dame, at Paris, there is no relic more cher ished than what is known as the crown of Christ, and M. du Mely sup poses that, in addition to this crown, which has been in Paris for many cen turies. St. Louis in some way acquired a large bundle of thOrns, some or which he presented to distinguished contemporaries, while the others he beuueathed to his successors. M. du Nely thinks that there is much more to be learned on this subject, and he proposes to continue his investigations until he arrives at the exact truth New York Herald.

It is noticeable that the Herald re- fr2ins from telling us what MT. Mon ihon accomplished during his term Of office that gives him claim on the suf- frages of this people We have asked the would-he mayors champion to name a single act of his while he was mayor that entities him to the respect ot the community. The Herald replies with Billingsgate. The candidate is sadly handicapped by the character of his newspaper support.

AT THE CHURCH GATE.

Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot
 Ofttimes l hover; And near the sacred gate, With longing eyes I wait,
 Expectant of her. The minister bell tolls out Above the city's rout,
 And noise and humming; They've hush'd the minister bell; The organ gins to swell:
 She's coming, she's coming. My lady comes at last, Timid and stepping fast
 And hasaening thither, With modest eyes downcast; She cClmes-she's here, she's past!
 May heaven go with heri Knee1 undisturb'd, fair saint Pour out your praise or plalnt
 Meek,y and duly; I will not enter there. To suIly your pure prayer
 With thoughts unruly. But suffer me to pace Round the forbidden place,
 Lingering a minute, Like outcast spirits, who wait And see, through heavens gate,
 Angels within it.

The Republican has given some good reasons why MT. Monihon should not be made mayor. If the voters of Phoenix want him to be mayor that Is their affair. This newspapers atti- tude is based on it's sincere desire to see this town forge to the front. No matter who is elected next Tuesday The Republican will continue to do business at the old stand and to speak its mind when occasion demands.

It is remarkable that a man who was mayor of Phoenix three years cannot produce the record of a single act during his long term that should endear him to the voters whose sup port he is now seeking. 1Ir.

c. c. Donovan, a prominent Califor- nian now visiting Washington, voiced the sentiment of not one but many
 states when he said the other day:
 ''The most popular man in California
 is President Mckinley. I voted for Bryan in '96, but next year I hope to cast vote for the present occupant of the White House. I have lots of dem ccratic friends who are as anxious to reverse their votes as I am. We think Mckinley has conducted himself through all the trying war times as a statesman and patriot, and the coast is pretty nearly solid for him. The American people have never yet failed to appreciate on sober second thought a president with patriotic and noble service to his credit, such as William has rendered during the past three years, and they are not likely to now set him aside to satisfy the ann bitions or the grudges of any opposing party or man.

General Greeiv Tells of the Increase In
Our New Possessions.
Washington, Nov. 6.--The extent to
which the government is constructing
and operating cable and telegraph
lines as result of recent territorial
acquisitions and control is brought
out in the report of General Greedy,
chief signal officer, This shows that
the telegraph system of Cuba, formerly
owned and operated by Spain, has been
taken over and developed by the signal
corps, and that at the close of the
fiscal year $500 miles of line were in
operation, of which 900 miles were alb
scutely new lines and the remainder
largely reconstructed General Greedy
recommends the laying of deep sea
cable between Porto Rica and Cuba,
which would cost about $600,O0O. BY
this means all communications be-
tween Porto Rico and the United
States would pass over strictly Ameri-
can lines. He also strongly urges
Pacific cable.
In the Philippines, General Greedy
shows that the efforts of the United
tons was antagonized by the private
companies owning lines there. General
Greedy says there are certain provis-
ions of the Spanish cable concession.
which plainly cannot be acceded to by
the United States. especially the abso-
lutte cable rights for an indefinite
period, not only in the Philippines but
in all Spanish possessions in the Pa
cific. He says it is only a matter of
time when Luzon will be connected
with FOrmosa by an international
cable, thus giving outlet to Japan and
China.
More than 100000 messages, many
long and all on public business, were
transmitted from the Philippines in
the ten months ending June 80, and
over $4,000 in May alone

manager Of the Schilling Dry
Goods Company. has purchased the
dry goods store Of II. J. and Ella

Fifth and Madison streets. The
store is an old established stand.

there for number of years by its
former owners. 1t is conveniently
located in the western part of the
city. Mr.. Schilling intends making
some change, in the store and d
more extensive line of goods will be
carried. This will enable one to
secure all the latest goods at the
same price as at the Market street
stores without going in town.
