The Matter of Census Taking.

AS we expected, the Hartford Her
aid attempts to belittle the Supt. for
our frankness in answering his ques.
tons relative TO FASTING the slips OF
paper over the name of one II. V.
McChesney, on the census blanks. The
editor of the Herald, by bis very con
duct, sanctions and approves political
fraud and perjury. If he has any
knowledge of the past election that
knowledge condemns every syllable
that he has uttered against any Re-
publican State official, for he said on
November 90 that the Republicans,
without exception, had been elected
by majorities ranging from $500 to
5000, and now this same interruptions
gentleman has recanted and is now
supporting a set Of revolutionists no
better, and no worse, than himself
After vigorous examination of the
school law, we failed to find in it any
where the authority granting II. V.
McChesney the power to sign his
name to the census blanks, but we do
find in section ~ of the school law this
expression: "And he (the Co. Supt. }
shall be individually responsible to the
teacher or the district for any loss sus,
tanned by said teacher or district by
reason of any error made by the said
superintendent in reporting the census
thereof" We further fnd in section
~ of the school law that "He (the
Co. Supt.) shall superintend the GEN.
sus taking during the month OF April
by the trustees" If the Co. Supt., as
the school law explicitly commands, is
to be held Individually responsible to
the teacher or district for any errors
in the census report, and if the Co.
Supt. shall supervise the census tax.
ing, as the same section of the school
law expressly provides, will the pert
editor Of the Herald tell us what H. V.
McChesney has to do with the census
and by what authority his name is
placed on the blanks? As every in
telligent man knows, the State offices
are all in dispute, and as the Repub-
lican incumbents have been rightfdlly
installed into office, they should re-
main and should be recognized as the
legal officials Until they have been de-
posed by the highest courts in the
land. 1t is true that these officials
we're ousted by an arbitrary contest
board, but no American should object
to these cases going through the high
est court in the land. In view of the
present unpleasant and unfortunate
condition of State affairs, the Supt.
acted, as we think, and we believe all
intelligent people will concur, upon a
conservative plan, and supervised the
census taking himself as provided by
law. Supt. Rogers is not ashamed OF
any official act he may have commit
ted during his incumbency as Supt.
He has made no public statement as to
why he pasted the slip of paper over
McCheshey's name. As an official, he
takes no notice of the slanderous re-
marks of the Heralds scribe, but when
the editor Of that journal asked us, as
editors, to explain this question among
others, we did so. The editor of the
Herald aud Its assumed editor are vel
come to all the political thunder they
may be able to get out OF this official
act OF Republican official.

We Dare Them Raise Their
Heads.

In our last issue we walked in a sup
posed trap that the Herald had, as its
editor thought, cunningly planned and
skilliully laid and sought earnestly to
discover the bait, that We might par
take thereof, but no bait was found 80
we have the trap now in our own pos,
session and will doubtless succeed in
trapping a "sucker." The Herald
mournfully takes up the answers We
gave him in response to his demands
and sorrowfully declares that we asked
him ten for the three he asked us. We
did ask eight very pertinent questions,
but what about the answers, neighbor?
We asked the Herald's scribe if he en-.
dorsed these statements:
You can't out count me and You can't count
me ont '-GOehel.

tightly clenched fist where ! had the cOnyen-
tiuu.'-GOebel.

And this is all he gave us for al
those questions we answered for him:
"This IN simply one OF the campaign

CAN during the last lew months. MIR.
GOt bel never made such "a statement,
and we defy lIheIn 10 prove %. when
they furnish the pIOOf, then we viii
answer their other questiOnS.'
The editor OF the Herald is the first
journalist to dispute these assertions
and ignorance is bis only excuse. Us
ually men at the helm of a newspaper
are men of some common sense and
gumption they usually keep in the
bounds of reason; rarely ever going
viciously and incurabIy wild, but it
appears that the Herald's scribe is lost
to reason and has no knowledge of
past events. The Herald, poor thing,
charges these statements of GoebePs
as being campaign lies worn thread.

YALE MEN TO MAKE FIGHT.
The Right to Use the University Sea!
for Whisky brand to Be
Tested.

Officials of Yale university, whose
seal Philadelphia distiller intends
using, with the assistance of the Unit
ed States patent Office, to put on brands
of whisky which he has for sale, are
thoroughly aroused. The Yale men in
tend to thwart, if possible, the use of
their seal for such purposes, notwith-
standing that Laurence Mccormick,
the whisky manufacturer in question,
has the authority of the patent Office
of the government to use Yale's seal,
as well as the seals of all the other
leading universities in the country, for
his whisky trademark. Legal steps
will be taken, if il is possible, immedi.
ately to check the plan to send Yale's
honored and sacred seal into the sa-
looms of the land as trademark. Pres
ident Hadley, of Yale, said: 1--WE have
not yet had time fully to ascertain
what our rights are in the matter. All
/ can say is that ] was surprised at the
news, and that the matter has been
referred to counsel to see what protec-
ton we have"

ton on July 20 Of Chang Yen Hoon,
the former Chinese minister to the
United States. Chang was loyal adj
herent of the emperor and a warm
supporter of the latter's reform move
ments. When the empress dowager
supplanted the emperor two years
ago he was banished to Nebradoo, but
though the Intervention Of the Amer
lean and British ministers his pun
ishment was committed to Danish
ment in the distant province Of Kash-
garia. 1t now appears that the en-
press dowager, taking advantage of
the late reign of terror at Pehng and
knowing Changes influence with the
emperor, ordered his execution by
decapitation. Chang was considered
by those familiar with Chinese affairs
rs one of the ablest men in China. He
had been decorated by the queen OF
Great Britain and by the emperor Of
Russia and Germany. He was pre-
eminently the most liberal and en-
lightened of Chinese statesmen and
had his life been spared till the occu-
patton of Picking by the allies, he
doubtless would have been recalled
and have taken an active part in the
pending negotiations and future gov
eminent of China.

burn, committed suicide at hSs home
here Monday night. Mr.. Lane entered
the house about IL p. m, and shot him
self in the presence OF his little daugh-
ter while his wife was resting on o
couch in an adjoining room. Death was
almost instantaneous. Mr.. Lane was
the American representative of the
London ordnance firm of Nicker's Sons
and Maxim. He was well to do, prom
inently connected and familiar fig
ure in Washington society. 1t is said
that he was driven to the act by brood
ing over i'll health. Ho was told some
time ago that he had Bright's disease
and he allowed the matter to prey on
his mind.
Senator Blackburn was in Hagers-
town, Md, Monday night when the
news of the suicide reached him. He
had been on a campaign tour of the
state. He left as soon as possible for
Washington, and it is likely that the
occurrence will force him to abandon
any further active work in the cam
paign.
Thomas F. Lane was native of New
Hampshire, but his parents moved to
Summit, N. j., when he was boy and
he spent many years there. He was
well known in Louisville, where he met
Miss Blackburn. On moving to Wash.
ington some years ago he held posi-
tion as chief of one of the bureaus in the
treasury department, resigning to take
up the work of the Yickers-Maximf firm
here.

The case of smallpox which Inde-

proven a very expensive guest. The
board of health hired DR.. ]. II. Nc

lowed his bill of $500. The board of
supervisors in acting upon it cut the
amount of charges in two. The case
was carried to the courts and Judge
Platt ordered the jury to find for the
physician on the ground that the
board of health has authority to en-
ploy physician and fix his compen-
sation and the board of supervisors
could not reduce the amount allowed
This brings the total cost of the case

Naval Ordnance Officers Preparing to
Make Novel and Important
Experiment,

Naval ordnance officers are prepared
to make experiments with a six-inch
gun 1t is proposed to bore holes
through the tube of the gun and af-
fixpressure gauges, which shall record
the pressure and velocity of projec-
tile in transit through the gun. This
will furnish some valuable informa-
ton regarding the shell before it
leaves the gun and after it has been
fired. The facts are now matters of
theory, and it will serve an important
technical end if the conditions of the
shell can be ascertained while it is
still in the gun tube. The tests are
awaited with much interest, as they
are the first of the kind to be con-
Quoted by ordnance experts any
where.
