Tell Census Office If You Are to be
Away In June.
The count Of the people In the United
States will begin in all parts Of the coun-
try June 1, and end in the cities two
weeks later and in the rest OF the country
before the close Of the month. The peo-
pie are to be counted at their places Of
residence, but as many persons and fam
lilies will be away from their homes dur
ing June, there is some danger that such
persons will not be counted. II they are
not counted, the locality In which they
live will be misrepresented to that ex-
tent, and In some cases this misrepresen-
tation may be enough to effect the repre-
sentation in Congress Of the state from
which they come.
Local pride aud state pride, therefore,
should influence all such absentees to
take reasonable precautions against being
omitted from enumeration In their places
OF residence. Such omissions are most
likely to occur in the large cities where
families close their homes and go else
where for the summer. The occurrence

In all cases OF contemplated absence,
the head OF the family is requested by the
census office to communicate with the
supervisor OF the district In which he
lives. He is also requested to lea I've infor-
nation regarding his answers to the
questions which are to be asked with
some responsible neig hbor, Who will agree
to see that 1t reaches the enumerator on
his rounds Such information might
better be left as memorandum in writing,
as In that case 1t is less likely to be over
looked. The questions to which answers
are desired apply primarily to the popu-
lation, but also to ali farms and manu-
featuring esta Iishments.
By taking this trouble the absent citi-
zen will do justice to his locality and his
state, and materially aid the census office
In the performance of its duties.
The census supervisor for this district
is Elmer p. Spofford, and his census office
is in Bangor. Notify him II you are to be
away, and ask for blanks to be filled out
and left for the enumerator.

sequences which it ie asserted must arise
in the future If the right to levy pro-
gressive tax be recognized involves in
it's ultimate aspect the mere assertion
that free and representative government
is failure, and that the grossest abuses
OF power are foreshadowed unless the
courts usurp a purely legislative func-
tion. If a case should ever arise where
arbitrary and compulsory action is i'm
posed bearing the guise of progressive
or any other form Of tax, it will be time
enough to consider whether the judicial
power can afford remedy by applying
inherent and fundamental principles for
the protection OF the individual even
though there be no express authority in
the constitution to do so.''
So significant and subtitle an express
sion should have attracted widespread
public attention, but it seems to have
passed almost unnoticed. While it is q
confession Of the opportunity such pro-
cess offers to plundered labor, it boldly
outlines Unconstitutional measures in

open the eyes Of the people to their
danger as did the Dred-Scott decision

Opposed to Inherent,

Editor Representative: We are having
fine rain this afternoon, which is much
needed, and it also gives one time to
pen an idea or two upon the interest
question for the use of money between
citizens. I see in the Representative of
July IL an article from F. M. Dodge.
Just1fying interest for the use of money.
Interest may be justifable for the use
OF money when paid to the government
by the citizens, or to the citizen by the
government, but never justiflable when
paid to the citizen by the citizen, for the
following reasons: Money is a creature
OF the government, created for the use of
all citizens alike; no citizen should
abridge the liberty Of his fellow citizen
by making him pay for that which be-
longs to the government, or all citizens.
Interest for the use of money between
citizens is usurpation, the citizen who
practices it is a usurer, and in no way
deserves the counterance of honest peo-
pie.
Hoping, Brother Dodge, that Barker
and Donnelly may reach their destina-
ton and right the wrong Of the money
question, interest for the use of money
between citizens will be known no moro.

Railroad Men Report Having Con.
siderable Trouble with the Tramp
or Hobo Element.
Railroad men report that tramps are
unusually numerous and desperate this
year, and several instances are given
where the hobo element has caused con-
Siderable trouble.
One Of the most vicious attacks, where
there might have been a murder, was
one al st. Charles Saturday, in which
s. n Gage, a conductor on the North
western railroad, was the victim. He
ordered a tramp off the blind baggage.
The fellow snapped his revolver three
times, but 1t missed fire. He fired twice
again as the train was moving out.
Both bullets struck the coach and mar
rowly missed the conductor.
On a Great Northern train at Devils
Lake a brakeman named Carroll was
fired at by two tramps whom he had put
OF the train. He saved himself only
by crawling under the train. The COM
panies have issued orders to deal severe
" with the hobo element.

Not All Harmony.

EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn., July
18.-POlk county Populists are not trav-
cling over smooth waters as in '96. At
the county convention, held some time
ago. certain members of the party, at
present holding Office under the Populist
administration, were ruthlessly turned
down. Prominent among them was
County Auditor John Gleason, who was
a candidate for denomination, and since
his defeat petition has been circulated
asking that his name be put on the Of
ficial ballot as an Independent candidate
for the office of county auditor. He has
large following in the county, and,
should the Republicans fail to nominate
a man for auditor. their support would
be given to Mr.. Gleason.
Another Independent candidate for Of
flee in Polk county is John Driscoll, who
desires to succeed the present county
commissioner from the Fifth district.
The Republicans are taking advantage
of the disruption in the Populist ranks.
and believe that it augurs well for VIC
tory at the polls in November.

But we must conduct our campaign with

Our newspapers must go into the homes
OF thousands and thousands Of our peo-

ed In sending copies Of the respective pa
pers to parties who are not acquainted
with Populist principles. Every sub
scriber should be asked to send in to the
publisher Of his paper the names Of all
voters who would likely read some re-
form paper. This to us seems the quick
est way to reach the masses.
It would be encouraging to see in
every Populist paper list Of the names
OF those who contribute their dimes,
quarters, half and dollars for the cir
culating Of Peoples party newspapers.
Many will contribute If called on in this
way who might otherwise think that
someone else will look after that" Let
US enlist the Peoples party workers in
a campaign army, in this way they can
all, the humblest voter included, go to
work at once. There are many neigh
borhoods where much good could be
done II the voters were "bombarded"
frequently with sample copies of various
Populist newspapers. They would get
their eyes opened and go to thinking.
Now, another idea: Every Populist pa
per ought to publish list Of the names
Of all the principal reform papers pub
hshed in the party, giving place of pub
lication, name Of editor and subscription
price. Mention is often made OF certain
Populist newspapers, but the INITIATED"
would never know where to procure the
paper. Such a roster" could be left
standing for any length Of time desired.
The people could see that the Populist
party is still real. live movement.
The N. r. p. A. could assist in this
matter.
Just one point more-something bor-
rowed from the Social Democrats: The
Populist party has much missionary
work to do. The masses who are tired
Of the two old arch-political frauds
ought to know who are party captains
are and where to find them. Therefore,
1t Is important. In our opinion, that the
names of every state Peoples party
chaiman in the country, or organizer, as
the case may be. should appear in the
newspapers of the respective states. Any
one who wishes to support the Peoples
party will then have no difficulty in find-
ing congenial political comradship. We
speak, or write, from experience. Let
every Populist paper give this informa-
tion, inviting all who desire to leave the
twin frauds of Bourbon Democracy and
Mossback Republicanism to communi-
cate with Mr.. So-and-So.
We have thought of lust another
point more:" Could not arrangements
be made to give all new subscribers to
Populist journals large-sized portrait
of Barker and Donnelly as a premium?
This would help to get the people better
acquainted with our peerless statesmen
the Populist standard bearers. Their
portraits ought to be as familiar as those
of Bryan and Mckinley.

TO- TRICK POPULISTS.

Bogus POpulists and TOwne.
(From the Philadelphia American.)
The Democrats and their allies for
mally opened their campaign at Lincoln
on Friday. holding meetings to ratify
the work Of the Kansas City convention.
The Fusion Populists and Silver Repub-
licans held q meeting in the afternoon,
and the Democrats meeting on the
evening Of the same day. And at the
first meeting was the work of the Kan
sas City convention just as heartily rati-
fled as at the second. For it is to Bryan
and Stevenson, not Bryan and Towne,
their own nominees, that the Fusion
Fopal.st leaders are pledging their sup
port and in the hope that the rank and
file will follow them.
When the Democratic convention re-
fused to take the Bryan and Towne tick
ct these Fusion Populists ceased to sup
port 1t. Towne himself, though he has
not yet decided whether to accept the
nomination of the Sioux Falls conven-
tion or not. whether to let his name
stand for vice-president on a Fusion
Populist ticket or to withdraw it,
promptly declared that he proposed to
give all the power he possessed to the
advocacy of the principles of "our grand
leaders"-Bryan and Stevenson. He
recognizes that the nomination Of Stew
enson has given dissatisfaction among
fusion Populists, not SO much because Of
dislike of Stevenson as for the reason
that his nomination was an emphatic
turning down Of their claims and
sounding Of the death.knell Of their
rarty. And 1t is Towne's aim to bring
that vote. now so much disinclined to
come. to the support Of Bryan and Stew
enscn. That is his sole aim and he
avows 1t. With that aim in view he will
steer his course.
Certain plans" he announces. have
been proposed to smooth out the pres
ent friction. A proposition. has been
presented that in Nebraska, and perhaps
in South Dakota, the Democrats give up
the entire state ticket in return for the
presidential electors"
That is price that the Democrats in
those states will not like to pay. To
ask item to pay that price would be to
put their loyalty to Bryan to a severe
strain
1T Is also suggested" Mr.. Towne fur
ther announces, that In order to be sure
to keep the Populist states in line, 1t
might be we'll to permit the national
committee to name an out and out Popu-
list for vice-president, with the under
standing that the electors resulting
therefrom shall vote for Bryan and Stew
enson."
We should think that the Fusion Pop
ulists who are put out by the nOmina-
ton of Stevenson would be nightly we'll
pleased by this proposition! In fact, 1t
is dishonest proposition, proposition
to catch votes for Bryan and Stevenson,
or at least for Stevenson, by deception.

Difficulties to BE Faced in Chins

The summers in north China are dry and
hot, and the stenches that arise from that
plain about Pekin are something indescrib-
able Then comes a short period Of tor
rental rains, and then a long, try fall and
winter. Frost will come about the middle
of October and the last Of November the
river will freeze up. to stay closed until
the middle of February. though often till
a month later. There is almost no snow
during the entire winter-two or three little
furries, but never enough to cover the
ground. The cold is comparatively steady,
without the incessant freeze and thaw that
we have in this country. The greatest hard
ship for the men, however, will be in the
terrific sand storms which sweep over the
country during the fall and winter, and in
the utter lack Of water. These sand storms
are very severe, and often whole trains Of
pack mules are driven to stampede by the
rain Of gravel and stones.
The success Of the present dynasty was
largely due to a battle fought during one of
these sand storms. to which the Manchus
were accustomed. while the Chinese oppos-
ing them were utterly demoralized by the
stinging sand in their faces. The water.
however, is our most dangerous foo, and 10
will die from its poison for every one In
jured In fighting. The country is full Of
wells. but as there 10 no drainage except
into cesspoOls, which often stand along
side the wells, and the whole country is
one vast burying ground. the water is full
Of the germs of typhus. typhoid and dysen-
terry. The thing which save the Chinese is
that they only drink it boiling hot, and,
unpalatable as it may taste after being
boiled. 1t cannot be used any other way.
Even with the best Of care, many foreigners
in China have become infected with the
dreaded Oriental dysentery, which emaciates
them until they become living skeletons, and
30 fastens itself on their vitals that 1t often
takes years to recover from it.
Great care. too, must be exercised In the
eating of native grown uncooked vegetables
for the fields are fertilized with human
excrement, and the products often are
tainted with the most deadly germs. Good
camps will be hard to find unless the troops
are finally taken to the foot hills, about
10 or IL miles west and north Of Pekin
where they can be quartered in the old
temples and find good water and ample fuel.
1t will be particularly difficult to handle
the non -combatant natives without arous-
ing their prejudices and offending their su-
perstitions; especially must their graves
and shrfnes be respected. The natives will
be willing enough to furnish all necessary
means of transportation, but for their own
protection they must be impressed. SO that
others will not accuse them Of volunteering
aid to an enemy.-Guy Morrison Walker. in

LONDON. July 17.-Caroline e. Keyes
pleaded guilty in the Marylebone police
court yesterday to the charge Of stealing
a gold watch. a bracelet. hair brush and
articles of clothing Of the aggregate
value Of a. pounds. from the rooms in
Norfolk Mansions Hotel, where she had
been staying.
When the robberies were reported the
police interrogated Miss Keyes, who.
after q series Of denials to the questions
with which she was piled for two hours,
finally opened her trunk and displayed
the missing articles. Her explanation
was that she had been drinking brandy,
and while under the influence of that
liquor took the property. When she
realized the enormity of her act the next
morning she tried to replace the stolen
property, but was unable to gain access
to the rooms she had robbed
In the course Of the hearing Miss
Keyes said she was an American, and
had come to London to attend the
Worlds Christian Endeavor convention
as a delegate from a church in Mime
sofa. She had come to disseminate the
gospel, she said, and while it was true
she took the things. she was not guilty
in her heart of stealing. for she meant to
restore the property If she had the
chance. Ultimately Miss Keyes, who
said she was without money, was re-
manded to allow her to call witnesses
as to her character.
