1t 10 probable that II an accurate
census Of poultry and eggs can be
taken II will be found that the value
thereof will exceed $500, 200, 900.
This Ii an enormou. sum and throws
the "fancy" part far into the shade.
It Is the great trainloads Of poultry
and eggs going TO the large cities
that show the magnitude Of the
poultry interests. With pOpula-
ton Of $4,000, 900 people, and ssti-
mating that each peraon consumer
s. worth Of poultry and eggs In one
year, the sum IL $500, 100000. Then
there Ii the large number Of egg
used In the arts. We are still i'm.
porting eggs, and our country doe
not supply Itself.
While the farmers largely assist
In this production, yet the cities

millions Of hens, aud they produce
something every day In the year
In the face Of a great array Of figure

rival Of any other. Cattle, horser
sheep, swine and even wheat ar
falling TO the rear behind poultry.

The Legislature which meets In
January will be composed "a follows:
Senate: 80 DemocrHts, 9 Republi-
cans and Populistg House: l0i
Democrats. 1t will mark the pass
ing Of Populism In North Carolina.
Col. Odds 10 Charlotte Observer.
If this legislature does as msnv
foolish things a. the legislature Of
's9 did, the fewer Populists there
are In 1t the better. We hope the
few Populist Senators and Repre-
-entatives will be careful In the
votes they cast aud the bills Intro
duced. Though they are few, yet
by their action the party will be
held responsible. They should
"touch not, taste not, handle not the
unclean thing" They will b
watched, and If they make fine
bloOded asses Of themeelves we viii
give them some free advertising
provided they stand at their OWL
stables and alone become responsible
for all accidents.

Swindling the Negroes.
New York Tribune.

An ingenious set of swindlers is
fleeing ignorant negroes by persua-
ding them to contribute small sums
to promote an effort to prevail upon
Congress to pension former slaves.
The number of colOred men and
women VINO were In bondage In the
Southern States at the time of the
Emancipation Proclamation, and
who still survive, is by no means In
considerable. OF course, there Is no
conceivable possibility that any of
them will ever obtain pensions, and
the trickery of the rascals who get
money from them under false pre-
lenses is of particularly despicable
snrt such fellows would steal pen
mics from a dead mans eyes. Hus-
tie them off to Jail.

THE CIRCUIT BILL.

Judge Conner was in congress in
time to vote for the passing of the
Grout bill. This bill provides for
an increased tax upon limitations
of butter, and also provides that
they must be sold as limitations,
and not as the genuine article.
This law was passed by the manu-
facturers and by the great grazing
interests of such states as Texas,
who felt that it would decrease the
price of steers. 1t is true that but
terine and oleomargerine are not
unhealthy products; it is true that
in large cities it is only the substi-
tutes for butter that are within the
reach of the poor mans purse,
nevertheless we believe that the
consumer as we'll as the purchaser
of the genuine article should be
protected. 1t is an undoubted fac
that at many of the best hotels ii
the country these imitation pro
ducts are used where people are
charged price which would justify

JUDGE C0NNER'S COMMITTEE.

Hon. P. Conner has been ap-
pointed as a member on the COM
mittee on invalid pensions. On
this committee he will be associ-
ated with Albert d. Shaw, recent
lily national commander of the.
Grand Army of the Republic, and,
a number of other distinguished
men of the house. 1t could not
be expected that Judge Conner
would be placed high upon the
leading committees; during the
first term. In the next session he
will have the advantage of all 9TH
er new members of congress and
will doubtless receive good recog-
milton from Speaker Henderson.
Congress wisely provides BY us
age that the older members are to-
receive recognition first, and thus
if any district wishes ty acquire
prominence in congress, it must
retain its faithful members reas-
enable length of time. Judge
Conner informs us in a personal
letter that he is much pleased with
his committee appointment, and
that he expects to make careful
and extensive study of the pension
laws of the country. knowing the
thoroughness with which Judge
Conner studies any subject toward
which he turns his attention we
have full faith that within a short
time he will become specialist In
this line, and that his advice and
counsel on this subject will be
highly respected and much sought
after. The truth is, that the ma
tional congress is so complex
machine it is obliged to legis
late on so many totally different
subjects that no member can be-
come thoroughly proficient in more
than few branches. Mr.. Nc
Pherson, during his stay in con-
gress, made study of the postal
laws; Mr.. Lacey is authority upon
public lands; Mr.. Clark made a,
speciality of educational matters;
Mr.. Dolliver was an all around
man, but for years he made a.
speciality of naval affairs; Mr.. Hull
is recognized leader when mat
tiers relative to our military forces
are under consideration; Senator
Allison stands without a pier in
the matter of appropriations and
expenditures. Both choice and
chance have combined to direct
Judge Corners attention to the
pension laws, and we believe he
will not have been in many con-
crosses before he is recognized as
an authority on that subject.

the use of real cow made butter
Judge Conner surely had the inter-
ests of the great dairying state of
Iowa at heart when he voted for
this measure.

We have now come to the true
inwardness of the objection raised
by Mr.. Baily of Texas, to theseat-
ing Of Judge Conner. Prior to
this time Mr.. Baily had claimed
the distinction of being the hand
soonest man in the House of Rep
resentatives; with the arrival Of
Judge Conner his claims were
completely extinguished, and jeal-
ousy, pure jealousy, must be as
signed as the cause of Mr.. Bailey's
objection. We do not blame him,
it is hard to be excelled along the
line of our greatest strength, and
one glance at the noble bearing
and classic features of the member
Of the tenth Iowa district mist
have convinced Mr.. Bailey that he
was vanquished.

Judge Conner writes that he is
enjoying his stay in Washington
and that the objection made by
Mr.. Baily of Texas, to his creden-
tials did not annoy him as much
as may be supposed, and in reality
served only to make him acquaint-
ed with the other memembers Of
the house more quickly than would
have otherwise been the case. He
speaks very highly of Senator
Dolliver, and states that he never
saw man for whom his associates
entertain higher feeling Of re-.
spect and friendship than the old
members of the house do for the
junior senator from Iowa.

THn CENSUS.

To-day, June 1st, the census enumer-
ators begin their colossal task of count
ing the population Of the United States.
Thousands and thousands of districts
have been subdivlded, and in each Of
these a competent man has been ap-
pointed to collect the necessary statistics.
We say necessary statistics, because
just as the merchant once year finds it
necessary to take stock" so the govern
nent finds It necessary oncein ten years
TO size up the country. And 1t is not
only in simply counting heads, but in a
hundred other different directions infor-

thus gathered, results are found that do

THE WAR Is OVER.

Yesterdays dispatches state that
Johannesburg and Pretoria surrendered
to Lord Roberts without resistance and
later dispatches say that President
Kruger also surrendered. This practi-
cally ends the war. All persons whether
sympathisers with the Beers or English
will be glad that the end has come SO
suddenly and without bloodshed. For
all know that final struggle as expected
about Pretoria could only have certain
end, though it might cost many human
lives. Another consoling thought to
even the Beers is that the new govern
ment will be at least as free as the one
the one they have lost, the only essential
difference being the acceptance of nomi.
nal independence instead Of actual indie.
pendence. The general result to human
ity and civilization we believe will be for
the better. Just as much better as the
government of Canada is better than was
the late government of the Transvaal
Republic.
