The Seattle Republican hopes
that the 57th congress, if not the
seth congress, will take up the
Southern elections as soon as posi-
BILE, if not sooner 1t hopes that
Congressman Jones and Cushman
will be among the first to champion
the measure which reduces the num-
Der of representatives, and especially
from those states that have now dis
franchised a number of their voters.
As has been repeatedly said in these
columns, the Southern states do not
cast one-half as many votes as do
the Northern and Western states,
and yet they get representation in
congress just the same as though
they did do so. The principles of
our fathers who fought the mother
country on account of taxation
without representation" have been
reversed in this instance, and the
South is getting representation
without taxation. The one is as OBJ
jectionable as the other, and for that
reason congress should see to it at
once that no state in this union of
states gets representation unless
they bear an equal amount of taxa
ton. If such states have persons
within their limits who are unfit to
exercise the right of suffrage, then
certainly those persons are unfit to
be enumerated among the citizens Of
such state. No vote, no count,
should be the watchword Of the Re-
publicans in congress.

Representative Copeland, Of Wal
Ia Walla, has added his name to the
list of eligibles for speaker of the
house of representatives of the sew
enth legislature of this state. He
has had experience, he has some
pull, and if it be true that Ankeny is
backing him, he has the wherewith
to make a vigorous campaign, and
we rather think that he will.

Woman at Brookda1e, N. J., Is Victim
of Persecution.

Masked men, spooks, midnight vista

Gilman says his place has been visited
in his absence by armed masked men,

off unless she signs a paper which they
have presented to her. He says she was
too frightened to note the contents of the
document. After three visits Gilman
aroused his neighbors, and the country
about his place was secured, but not
trace found of the mysterious strangers.
Gilman hired a man, but when he went
to the barn to look after the live stock
the masked men again visited Mrs. Gil
man and threatened her. He then hired
a negro for body guard, but they again
put in an appearance and fired three
shots at her. Gilman will employ detec-
tives.

PROGRESS OF CENSUS WORK.

of People Is Completed.
The twelfth census, so far as the enum-
GRAFTON work is concerned, is completed.
There were 5000 enumerators and 291
supervisors. The cost Of the enumera-
ton will be about $4,200,00O. Most OF
the enumerators have been paid The
factory work also is about finished. All
of the special field agents in the manu-
featuring and industrial lines will com
plete their work and be paid off by Nov.

$250,O00. The entire force in the census
bureau in Washington is now engaged in
tabulating the statistics gathered. The
report of the census bureau, when com
pleted, will occupy eight volumes of ,ooO
pages each Although the work of the
present census is heavier by several mill
ion inha bitants than ever before, Dlrec-

the public six weeks earlier than hereto
fore.
