SUPPRESSION OF NEWS.
Administration Papers Refuse to Pu-
blish Hoar's Resolution.

The suppression of the news, pure and
simple, is one of the most serious indi-
cations of the danger which menaces
this country from the present admins
tration and it's adherents. j. j. Lentz
writes from Columbus, o.: "In this
part of the country Senator Hoar's re-
solution was absolutely kept from the
public by five of the daily publications
in this city. Is this any less than a
crime against the public? Why, should
we talk about universal education if a
syndicated and sinister press is to de-
ceve the people by Withholding facts
from one column and filling others with
falsehood? In his speech at Detroit
Saturday night Mr.. Lentz said: I a
gree with Senator Hoar when he says
we have dishonored our great history
l agree with Senator Hoar's resolutions
introduced in the Senate two weeks ago
which nearly all of the administration
papers of the country were too coward
ly and too unjust to their readers to
print. I insist upon it that our i'm
perialist policy is a policy that requires
a censored press, requires a suppression
of the truth and the facts, and therefore
that Imperialism is a shameful policy
resorting to fasehood and secrecy, fit
instruments and emblems of all those
who work in the dark and are guilty
Of criminal aggressions."
The attention of the public should be
called to one of the most fragrant abuses
perpetrated by those who pretend to
give their readers the news. The very
papers in Ohio which suppressed the re-
solution of Senator Hoar were only too
anxious to give the first page to the re-
solution of the new and unknown Sc
nator Beveridge. Free government
cannot exist with such prostitution of
the press as this.-Springheld Repub-
liCan.

THE OTIS PROCLAMATION.

In his extemporaneous reply to SEN
ator Beverldge in the Senate, Mr. Hoar
referred to the extraordinary liberty
Gen. Otis had taken in altering Presi-
dent McKinley's proclamation of De-
cember 21, 1898, to the Fllipinos, on the
ground that it was an incendiary do
Cument. AS is now known, the actual
proclamation of the president was
published to the Filipinos contrary to
Gen. Otis wishes, by Gen. Miller at
Iloilo. In his resolution calling for in
formation, Mr.. Hoar has asked for a
copy, not only of the presidents pro-
clamation, but for a copy of the one
that Gen. Otis issued in place of tie
presidents hoping that his version
would be the only one the Filipinos
would see. Perusal of the Otis pro-
clamation shows that the president
proclamation was not only amended,
but virtually Springfield
Republican.

POPULATION Of honolulu
RESULT OF THE COMMITTEES
COUNT.
Allowing for Implications There are
Probably 10000 People Now in Ho-
nolulu-Comparison

The figures of the Citizens Sanitary
Committees censeus of the Judicial
district of Honolulu have now been
tabulated. The lists give a total OF
1862 names to which are added an
estimate of 1000 as being the number
on the shipping in the harbor, and 900
the round number of those in the de-
tention camps at the time of the ex-
odus from the burned district, January
20, making a gross total of 44,252 with
out any deduction for duplication Of
names.
The method of making up this gross
total was as follows. The judicial dis
trict of Honolulu was divided into
forty-one districts by the Sanitary
Committee with the approval of the
Board of Health, about January IL.
Thirty-nine of these districts were
given over to the Sanitary committee
for inspection and enumeration by its
sub-inspectors The remaining two
districts those comprising the quaran-
tined district of Chinatown were re-
tanned by the Board of Health to be
inspected and the people listed and emu
merated by the paid agents of the
Board of Health. The reason for this
distinction and difference was to re-
duce the number of persons required by
the work to go into the quarantined
district
The result of the census taken in
Chinatown under the direction of the
Board of Health, before the fire was
an enumeration of IO12.
The Citizens Sanitary Committee OBJ
tanned in the thirty-nine districts under
it's jurisdiction a gross total of 1859,
making no allowance for duplication
of names.
The burning of Chinatown and the
enforced exodus of nearly the whole
population from the two districts re-
tanned under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Health, gave a new and accu-
rate basis of enumeration A few re-
manned in the unburned portion of
Chinatown The remainder were dis
tributed among the detention camps
A complete listing of names in the de-
tention camps was finished yesterday
afternoon. So that the total of 44252
is made up as follows:

IOtal .............. e. -. .ZS,JzO
The census of the population of
Chinatown can be considered as prac-
tically accurate as of January 90 In
the census of the thirty-nine districts
under the Sanitary committee there are
doubtless some, perhaps many dupli-
cations, as the effort of the inspectors
was not primarily for the purpose of
obtaining the number of people in Ho-
nolulu, but was to get every individual
on the list so that they could all be
accounted for every day. Hence
names were taken both where people
lived and where they were employed in
many cases. How far this duplication
has gone is hard to say. The COM
mittee feels assurd that 1000 will fully
cover it.
Considering Chinatown alone it is
probable that the population before the
plague broke out was greater than the
S,459 this enumeration gives it, because
after the first quarantine was raised
about December 20, there was a con-
siderable exodus in fear of another
quarantine. These however are ac-
counted for in the census of the other
districts so that this fact does not af-
feet the total for the judicial district
of Honolulu.
Making allowance for the duplication
VI IdllleS however lIllS census prop
ably shows a larger population than
the federal census will because the two
enumerations have a little different
basis. The present census is the result
of an effort to include every individual
now within the limits of the judicial
district of Honolulu. The federal emu
meration will be for the purpose of
securing the name and family relation
ship of each individual residing in the
enumeration district on June l. 1900 It
will omit all persons merely in the dis
trict but residing elsewhere, as these
will be enumerated in the districts
where they reside, if the reside in Unit
ed States Territory. Persons residing
elsewhere than in United States Terri
tory, though temporarily here, will not
be included in the federal census al
all. Hence a large portion of the 10OC
in the committees census estimated
as being on shipping in the harbor will
not appear in the federal census re.
turns.
