Plans for the Census.

Prof. w. F. Wilcox of Cornell, the
chief statistician of the census, says:
"The schedule OF population is in much
the form used in 1880. and the questions
asked are substantially indentical with
those of the last two censuses. The fol-
lowing questions, however, asked in
| 1890, have been omitted:
"1.) Whether a soldier. sailor or
marine during the civil war Omitted
| States or Confederate), or widow of
such person.
seq Whether suffering from acute or
chronic disease, with name OF disease
and length of time afflicted.
49, Whether defective in mind sight,
| hearing or speech, or whether crippled,
MANNED, or deformed, with name of de-
feet.
"(4) Whether a prisoner. convict,
homeless child, or pauper.
"The most serious danger to the accu-
racy OF the American census is found in
our large cities, where many persons
are away and many houses closed by
the month of June, in which the census is
required by law to be taken. 1t is in
such places that the complaints, whether
| justified or not, have hitherto been most
frequent. A system has been proposed
and approved by which all houses found
closed by any city enumeration on his
rounds will be reported to his supervisor,
and special enumeration, paid by the
day, will be charged with the duty of
obtaining, by visiting the place of bust
ness or by correspondence, the facts re-
garding the residents in each such vacant
house.
after the returns have been received
! at Washington they will be tabulated by
the electrical system employed in the
last census. By this system the facts
regarding every person in the United
States are recorded on a card. After
the facts have thus been recorded
on card, system of blunt pins, one
for every possible hole in the card, is
brought down over it. Wherever hole
is found the pin passes through ane
dips into cup of mercury, completing
an electrict circuit which passes through
a counter connected with that hole, thef
back to another system of pins ant
and through second hole in the card t.
a counter connected with that hole. etc
By this means the facts on the card ar
simultaneously and mechanically talliet
at great saving of time. There ar
accessory devices by which themachin
can be adapted to far more complicated
statistical fluctuations.
1.-The plans ofthe division of vita
statistics agree closely with those of tn
last census, but attention is centerec
somewhat more than formerly upor
those parts of the country where the
local records are complete and trust
worthy"

THE American people are grieved
over their great Admiral Dewey.
And yet it is not Dewey over which
they are grieved, but it is the loss of
an idol. Way up upon his pedestal
of fame as sailor and soldier, hero
worshipping people viewed him as an
exalted hero, to be petted and ad-
mired.
Republican and Democrat, Goldite
and Populist, Anarchist and Socialist
alike raised their voices in acclama-
ton for the soldier and sailor who
had led Americans on to victory and
fame, and who had given America q
name from one end of the world to
the other.
They loved Dewey as tho personifi-
cation of American valor; they loved
him because he had made American
arms famous; they loved him because
he had done faithfully a public SER
vice.
The people knew Dewey for his
military genius, not as man. They
knew him at the great distance at
which all idols should be kept. That
fatal familiarity that breeds con-
tempt, and which is dangerous to the
title Of heroes, has crept into Dewey's
wreath and it is witering under the
hot rays of criticism and close
inspection.
We feel for the people, for their loss
is a hard one. Like a child that
loses toy, it will not be comforted.
So with the people. They, as chill
dren, have lost their toy; but in ad-
dition thereto, these grown-up chill
dren are beginning to realize what
real small children they were in plac-
ing upon the summit of alteration an
idol that insists upon falling to pieces
before their gaze.
Sympathy is likewise due Admiral
Dewey. He held a lofty place in
their admiration and a warm spot in
the hearts of the people. He was an
exceptionally fortunate man. The
people knew him only as the dignifi-
ed hero soldier and sailor, standing
erect upon the bridge of the Olym-
pia, amidst shot and shell, defying
the very earth in the name of the
United States of America. When one
views him as the testing politician,
joking with newspaper reporters and
entering into the common undignified
walks of the American politician. one
can hardly suppress tears of sorrow,
disappointment and grief.

Communicate Il.

To the Editor of The Republican.
''Hoosier' deserves great credit for
his earnest efforts in behalf of the
people.
Our government is founded upon
the principle that the majority shall
rule, while despots claim that the
people cannot be trusted.
Nowhere should the people have a
better right to rule than in the man
agement of our public schools. They
pay more taxes for the support of
schools than for anything else, and
because of this and the education of
their children the people are greatly
interested in having the best school
officials obtainable, and should they
make mistake they are careful not
to repeat it.
Under the appointive system men
are often kept at the head of our
schools continually for political rea-
sons regardless of qualification, and
to the detriment of our educational
interests, and we have no redress
whatever; it is simply pay and en-
dure.
The Democracy in their haste to
get control of the schools would cur
tail the right of suffrage and rob us of
this inalienable right and drag the
schools down from the sovereign
people into the mire of partisan poll
tics - an outrage that perhaps is
unprecedented. TAXPAYER.
