YEARS ESTIMATES.
Finance Board Gradually
Receiving City Depart
ments' Demands.

The estimates for the next fiscal year
from the several departments Of the city
government are coming in slowly They
must all be in the hands of the Board of
Finance by June 20, so that the bulge
may be completed.
Those already in show that the old rule
is being followed: ask for as much as
possible, the Finance Board will surely
cut you down. That there will be
proper increase in the estimates in some
of the boards is certain. The Street and
Water Board needs more money for street
cleaning The Board of Educators
salaries list will be considerably increased
owing to the passage of the act, and there
is talk of new schools. The Fire Board 3
budget will be higher owing to much
needed repairs to some of the houses, and
there is every reason to believe the Com
missioners will get what they ask since
they have a record for moderation. In
the other departments there will be no
particular increase.

Dor Of the world is the creation of human
labor; the product of muscular exertion.
Education, by teaching the workman to
make the best use of his time and
strength is the economy of force and
gives 1t a greater power to create value.
I'm a large degree the strength and
wealth of the nation rests in the proouc-
tive powers Of its people. Education
sharpens the powers of perception and
strengthens the reasoning faculties. sets
the people to observing and thinking, and
enlarges mans capacity for creating
value; so it is both the interest and duty
of the government to see that none are
allowed to enter the responsible period OF
life without this means of doing the best
for himself and for the State.'

FRY'S LITTLE JOKE.
He Made Fun for the Census
Man.

AS each day of the census work pro-
crosses, the enumerators add funny ex-
periences to their lists.
why said one of Uncle Sans
agents, 'I admit that the work is much
harder than I anticipated, but the fun
to be had from the collection of data
together with the pay, makes the work
easy. Some people cannot get it through
their heads that the information must
be given and very often they hesitate.
Some French girls, when asked their
ages, in a Greenville house yesterday,
said that that part must be cut out. |
said it would be wise for them to tell
their ages, and reeled off some law to
them. The ages were promptly given" "
Servant girls often cause the men
much annoyance and loss of time because
of their ignorance of this census. Oft
times they hesitate about furnishing the
men with details until the necessity of
telling what is desired is impressed upon
them. Many women have asked for the
family schedules, which they will fill in
and have ready for the agents.
Ex-Alderman Fry of Greenville caused
some merriment for the enumerator yes
terday. Inc Idmlly schedule coHldlIleu
the names of all the family and the oc-
cupation of the baby was listed as ''as-
sistant boss of the house"
One man on Mercer street began tell
ing an enumerator the story of how the
census was taken ten years ago, when
he lived in the mountains of Vermont.
The enumerator had some difficulty in
getting away. Strange as it may seem,
the majority of people visited seem to
have no knowledge of having been listed
ten years ago.
An enumerator this morning found

breach of courtesy we refrained from
commenting on it because we did not
desire to arouse contention in the
church.

prove to the satisfaction of the editor
of the DEMOCRAT that the church with
which he has been connected is for
tunate in having gwen him the shake.

called upon to ask him how to conduct

criticise our course in the Laslett

ascertained the TRUTH of the charge as

the reasons we did not last week

trail of the aforementioned preacher
he can learn right smart about him
that he probably don't know today; and
if he will publish all he can find out he
can, for once, get something real inter.

Wall street, men representing manu-
facting monopolies, combinations and
trusts have conceived. constructed and
secured the adoption of the national
platforms of both the Republican and
Democratic parties. Through all these
years unrest, discomfort, embezzle-
ments. dependency, insanity and sui
cides have prevailed throughout our
land. It was under these conditions
that men of strong convictions, men OF
sturdy American characteristics, men
who loved liberty and loved their coun
try rebelled against the political despot-
ism and their political bossism. By the
action of these courageous men in open
rebellion the Populist party was born
and from that day to this the conclen-
tious Populist worker, brave and patiot-
ic, has been urging the American peo-
pie in all political parties to repent OF
their sins of omission and commission
and return to the Democracy of Jack
son and the Republicanism of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and my Populist friends

Quirement. independently of the selfish
and designing influences of Wall street
the Chicago platform will be readopted
at Kansas City on July 4th. The
Democratic party will add to their
platform new declarations to meet
new issues that have arisen since
1895. Personally would like to see
resolutions adopted favoring direct
legislation or public ownership OF
public utilities, because L believe
these reforms absolutely necessary tc
destroy the corrupt influences of the
lobby and to abrogate special privi-
leges now given corporate power that
makes it possible for trusts to prosper
and grow at the expense of the
people"
