The Religious Census.

The Director of the census has
received many letters asking whether
the religious statistics of ne popqla,
ton are to be taken in the present
census, and if not, why not? The
subject has also been. discussed to a
limited extent in the religious news
papers of the country. For these
reasons it has been thought advisable
to publish the following authoritative
statement en-.the whole subject:
A very general misrepresentation
seems to exist regarding the met hods
by which the figures were obtained
in 1890 for the volume on the stats
tics of churches. They were not pro-
cured through the enumerators. In
an official circular, published October
l, 1889, it was said that tFhis infor-
nation can not be gathered. by the
enumerators. *>-* X It. Is neces-
sary, therefore, to make church Stats
tics special inquiry, and they must
be gathered chiefly by schedules
placed in the hands of. some compe-
tent person in each of the minor
ecclesiastical Subdivisions of the va.
rious churches
In exact conformity with the Ian.
guage of this circular, schedules were
prepared containing line for each
reorganization" reported, including
churches without pastors, missions Of
stations, chapels, meetings and socie
ties. The questions asked related tc
the character Of edifces occupied
their seating Sapacity, their value
and the number of communicates OF
church members. In the instructions
for filling tie schedules the word
''communicah was defined to en-
brace 'an, without distinetion of sex
who are privileged to participate il
the ordinance of communion in de
Nominations which observe it, and al
members in other denominations
In all denominations having eccIesi
astical systems which group loca
churches into associations, confer
ences, presbyteries, or dioceses
the secretaries or clerks of tn,
divisions were requested tx
| furnish the information desired; il
other cases communication was haC
with the local church direct, or some
other method was adopted.
The Government of the United
States does not concern itself witt
the religious opinions of its citizens
1t does not consider that it has an,
right to inquire into their hereditary
or personal convictions regarding
matters Of faith, or into their eccle
} siastical relations. Such any inuuir,
addressed to individuals would b,
resented, and the information OBJ
tanned, if the enumerators were in
structed to ask this question, wouit
be SO incomplete and inaccurate as t,
} be of little practical value.

EXPERT OPINION.

Pensacola has been made one of
the most important cities in the
South by the construction of rail-
roads. The following from the Daily
Press of that city may therefore be
termed an expert opinion:
tallahassee is making an effort to
secure additional railroad facilities.
Pensacola would do well to pattern
after the Capital City in this respect.
The more railroads a city has, the
greater its volume of business"
If she still needs more of them,
then what must be said of Tallahas-
see?

estant churches generally, the seating
capacity of an edi6ee exceeds the av-
erage attendance.
This is a subject which viii bear
serious consideration and discussion
on the part Of those particularly In
terested in this inquiry; and any sug=
gestions relating to it, addressed to
the Director of the Census, will be
welcomed.

WHAT'S POLTTIC?

Wakulla County, Fla.-Editor

many constructions, and the mean
ing may be CLEANED from the charae-
ter of the man who uses it or the

The new Century Electromagnetic
standard authority of the present
day-seems to recognize this, hence
it divides the definition under several
different heads, viz:
Q) Of or pertaining to politics, Or
the science of government; having
to do with politics. ~ Of or per-
tanning to civil as distinguished from
religious or military affairs; civil; po-
litical. 81 Of or pertaining to
officers of the State; official; State.
az That which constitutes the State;
consisting of citizens: as, the polite
(that is, the whole body of the peo-
pie as constituting State). 81
Existing by or for the State; popu-
lar; constitutional. (6) In keeping
with policy; wise; prudent; fit; proper;
expedient; applied to actions, meas
ures, etc. CD Characterized by
worldly wisdom OF craftiness; subtle;
crafty; scheming; cunning; artful: ap-
piled to persons or their devices: as,
a polite prince.
Like constitution which permits
all sorts of construction; a bible
which permits all sorts of religion, or
a religion which permits all sorts Of
worldly pursuits after happiness, the
above seems broad enough for al
most anything under the sun. But
the committee mentioned by our
correspondent may have been
guided by the Standard DictiOnary's
definition which, if anything, is more
to the point. 1t is as follows:
: % Sagacious in devising and car
rying out a plan; pursuing ones ends
with prudence rather than with prin-
ciple; given to policy; thoughtful of
ones own interests; crafty; artful.
(2) Wisely adapted to attaining an
end; prudently devised and executed;
specious; as, most polite speech.
1t seems that even Daniel Webster
in his day had almost the same idea
He describes the word:
~ Political. (2) Pertaining to
OF promoting policy, especially a
national policy; well devised; adapted
to its end, whether right or wrong
(3J sagacious in promoting policy:
ingenious in devising and advancing

Feeling in Washington, and in the
East generally, says a correspondent,
in regard to the Democratic platform
seems to have shifted as rapidly as
it did in Kansas City. when the crisis
came. There. is no denying that
when the news was first flashed here
that Bryan had" dominated the. con-
vention and had forced the delegates
to endorse silver against the wishes
of a majority of them, the Democrats
in this city felt disheartened.
Twenty-four hours later, they realized
that Bryan was right and that any
faintest measure that could be twisted
into a retreat from silver would have
damaged the party more than any
possible affirmation. They realized
that any hesitancy would expose
Bryan to charge of demagogism
and to that of longing for victory al
any price, which would be fearfully
damaging in the campaign. They
realized, too, that it would not be
wise politically to risk alternating any
of the six and a half million votes
cast for the ticketin 1896 in the hope
Of gaining few hundred thousand
cast for the gold Democratic ticker
in that year. In short, by Friday
morning, Democrats here had made
up their minds that Bryan had saved
the party from a frightful mistake
into which they had been nearly al
lured by the gold men. To reafirn
the silver plank and then to subordi
nate it to imperialism is now consid
cred the stroke of a master mind, an,
it is believed that the party's chance
of success this fall have been i'm

THE CHINESE WAR,


The anti-foreign movement In
China has now reached that stage
when it can no longer bear any other
name than revolution. The impe-
rial government forces are evidently
inadequate to cope with the waring
elements, and in fact the powers have
been appealed to for assistance. I'm
der such circumstances the latter are
sending troops. But it is a slow
business, and there is no telling what
the situation will be by the. time a
hundred thousand foreign troops are
landed upon Chinese soil. 1t may be
that by that time the imperial troops
will have joined the "boxers" and
that the combined forces of the &C.
lestial Empire will have to be COPIED
with.
However that may be, the situa-
ton is a grave one. According
to the most authentic reports
all the foreign legations-in-
Guiding the American and English
have been DESTROYED and the repre-
sentatives of the powers put to death
in the most. frightfal and horrible
manner. The small relief forces
sent by the powers have suffered
fearfully and are in danger Of ami
hilation.
=. All this calls for immediate action
The hardness of the powers-.thiS
country included-can hardly be ex,
planned. 1t is not necessary nor wise
to declare war against the Chinese
government. But to send a few
thousand troops to cope with three
and half million people, most o.
them hostile, seems the heighth o.
foolishness. 1t does, seem that wa
is necessary then why not make i
swift, decisive and short?

Senator Carmack of Tennessee.

Another member of the lower
house who will step into the Senate
next March is E w. Carmack of the
Memphis district of Tennessee. Car
mack had achieved fame as an
editor before he embarked in poll
tics. In 1885 he was an editorial
writer on the Nashville American
and two years later he founded the
Nash vile Democrat. The American
add Democrat were subsequently
consolidated and Carmack became
editor-in CHIEF. In 1892 be moved to
Memphis and became editor of the
CONNIE, cial Appeal. Four years
later be was the regular Democratic
nominee for Congress in the Mem
phis district against Hon Josiah
Patterson. gold Democrat, and de-
feated him by small majority.
When Senator Turley announced
that he would not be a candidate for
re. election, Carmack entered the
field. Gov. Benton McMiilin and
Judge Snodgrass were also candi-
didates, hut Carmack beat them out
easily. He is AZ years old, and a
man of hue attainm. nts, and the
people of his state anticipate for him
splendid career. The recent
acquisition of Culberson of Texas,
Carmack and possibly +. NJ. Sim
mons "f North Carolina, will greatly
strengthen the southern senatorial
contingent.-St.LouIs Post Dispatch.

CITY LICENSE
ON SALOONS
Will Be Increased TO 5000 Per
Year, Beginning Ian. |.
Each Saloon Will Have to Pay
Total License of $500 in Order
to do Business.

Beginning January |, each saloon in
Columbia will have to pay licenses to
the amount of $500 in order to do bust
ness. On that date the city license will
be increased from $50 to 5000, and the
state license being 5000 and the county
license 500, this makes a total of $780,
In January, 1900 the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen passed a revenue
law increasing the city tax from $50 to
5000, the full limit; but, as the licenses
on several saloons for 1900 had already
fallen due before the passage of the act,
it was deemed advisable to suspend the
law until January |, 1901, and all the
saloon men were allowed to continue at
the $50 rate during 1900.
The new law means an increase of 3d.
700 per year in the city's revenue. as
there are eighteen saloons doing bust
ness here. 1t is thought that the raise
will cause two or three of the smaller
dealers to drop out.

The HERALD is gratified to state that
a sufficient number of names have been
secured in Columbia to get the Alkahest
Lyceum course. The course embraces
series of five observation-disclosures
and musical recitals-.the first OF which
will be given in the OPP era House be-
tween the fifth and fiftee nth of January.
The matter of selecting the att actions
has been left to the local committee, of
which Rev. Baker 2. Lee is chairman,
and it is presumed that they will meet
and take action after the rush of the
holidays.
