Washington, March 28th.-The
President has informed the Ken
lucky Republicans that while he can
not interfere in Kentucky affairs to
the extent of disarming the militia
of either faction, he is willing, SO far
as he can legitimately do so, to rec
ognize the Republican officials of
that State as the de facto officials.
He told them in the same connec-
ton that he would give directions
that mail addressed to an official by
title only, as to "The Governor" or
''The Secretary of State" should be
delivered to the Republicans hold
ing those Offices and not to the Dem

Anti-Kink, a preparation manufactured by

I take great pleasure in recommending hair
preparation, prepared by Mr.. John R. Smith,
druggist, known as Anti-Kink, a preparation
for making hair easy to comb, and removing
from the hair. Not only does it re-
move dandruff from the hair but it gives the
hair a vigorous and lively appearance, and is
a complete hair toilet. In short I would COM

NEW CENSUS TAKING.
-ImpOrtance of Co operation OF
Farmers for it's Accuracy.

Farmers for it's Accuracy.
To build up a great Office like
the Census Office in fifteen months
from absolutely nothing to an
efficient machine, employing
about three thousand men in
Washington and about fifty
thousand elsewhere in the
country, is a difficult task, and en-
tire success is out of the question.
The Office naturally compares it.
self with the stage of preparation
attained at the same period ten
years agD and tried by this test,
it has gained several months on
ats predecessor. One of the prob
lens before it is how to put in the
time thus secured In such a way
as most to benefit the Census.
In tbs Agricultural Division the
need of time for preliminary work
as perhaps as great as anywhere
in the Census Office. Farmers, as
a class, do not keep their accounts
as we'll as manufacturers, and the
returns from farmers may occa-
sionally include serious errors
which a trained eye will at once
detect. Hence the farm schedul1s
must be examined and such errors
corrected before the tables can be
made up from them with safety.
If a farmer reports that his land
sown to wheat was ten acre s and
the yield four thousand bushels,
1T is clear that an aver 4ge yield OF
four hundred bushels to the acre
lis incredible, and must be rejected
or corrected n accordance with
the probabilities. sonnet mes the
truth can be made out by an
expert from c3mpalison with en-
tries in other parts of the sched-
ules; sometimes correspondence
must be opened to settle the doubt.
All this ranks under the general
head of verifying the schedules,
and the Agricultural Division
plans to give all the time pos
sible to the work Of verifying
each Of the millions of farm sched-
@ules- To accomplish this in the
time allowed, the work of several
hundred clerks will be required,
and they must have hard and
fast rules to guide them. For ex-
ample, they might be told: When
the wheat reports show a product
of over forty bushels to the acre,
they are suspicious and must be
laid aside for an expert to pass
upon. But any such rules must
vary with the section of tie coun-
try. A yield of twenty bushels in
one section might be more ques-
tionable than a yield of forty
bushels in another. Hence the di-
vision must fix in advance what
is the range Of reports in each
part of the country and for each
crop that may be accepted as
probable on their face and not re-
quiring special examination. To
get the limits Of probability for
this purpose for each county in
the United States, hat is, the
maximum and minimum yield
and the maximum and minimum
price which may be accepted
without verifcation, is the object
of an extensive correspondence
now being carried on by the Ag:-
ricultural Division under the dis
rection of Mr.. L. G. Powers,
Chief Statistician in charge of
that division. Three simple sched-
ules have been prepared and
printed on different colored pa
per in order that they may be
readily distinguished one from

On Sept. 23 Thomas Mcclellan, late
second-class leading stoker Of her
majestys ship Doris, was flogged at
Simon's Town for the offense of ma
lingering, says London Truth. The re-
port OF the circumstances, which ap-
peared in the Western Morning News
of Oct. "a, is not very lucid, but gath
er from it that the m2linger:ng took
place while the man was undergoing
sentence of imprisonment on the
Penelope for striking chief stoker. A
medical survey" was first held on the
accused, which presumably resulted in
a finding that he had been shamming
sickness. On this a board of three Of
fcerS sentenced the man to eighteen
lashes. after receiving eleven lashes,"
said the report, the prisoner became
insensible. and the medical officer
present (the staff surgeon of the Mon
arch) stopped the cruel proceeding,
and the wretched man was borne
bleeding and senseless to his CELL"
There does not appear, therefore, to be
any suggestion that he was malinger-
ing this time. The Western Morning
News, in chronicling this incident, ex-
presses the hope that it may lead to
renewed agitation for the abolition OF
fogging in the navy l can hardly con-
ceive it possible that any one possessed
join us in this hope. AS to the de-
STABILITY of corporal punishment,
whether in the navy or elsewhere, for
certain peculiarly brutal classes of
crime, opinion may differ But the
idea of fogging man senseless for
such trumpery offense as that of pre-
tended sickness to evade prison disci-
pline is revolving in the most elemen-
tary feelings of justice and humanity.
The reader will note that this poor
wretch was sentenced tby three officers
commanding her majesty's ships, and
with the approval of the commander
in-chief of the station) to receive
eighteen lashes, and what that punish
ment would have meant, had it been
carried out, may be judged from the
fact that the man had become sense
less from pain and a medical officer
had to interfere before two-thirds of

with the paltry character of the
''crime" for which this murderous pen
atty was imposed, should convince any
one of the utter unfitness of many of
our naval officers to be intrusted with
such powers over their subordinates.
