Mining Industry Ignored.

The instructions for taking the CEN
sus OF 1000 includes every industry
except mining. y contemporary
says:
Every thing in connection with all
trades has Official, preliminary stats
teal noticc-cxcept miniDg;nll classcs
and conditions Of men are to be not
ed-cxccpt miners. The great basic
industry OF tho nation, the one bust.
ness that underlies all else, and on
which all depends. is not represented
by nm official notification OF the in
tents or purposes OF the twelfth GEN.
sus III the closing year OF the cen.
fury. The insane, the deaf the dumb
are worthy OF note. but there is no
more mention OF tho mineral indus
try i'll the bill providing for the taxi
ing OF the twelfth census than il such
an industry did not exist
Dense ignorance OF the Importance
OF the principal industry OF the coun.
try, recognized rs such by every
i%inancicr and buincss man on the con.
tincnt. is the only plea that can be
advanced TO account for this over
sight in tho instructions to the cen.
sus takers.

4 Dirty Affair,

One OF those affairs which disgrace
humanity occurred between the two
freight houses about half pastS o'clock
last night. The participants were a
drunken squaw and "a number of
young me- who should be given a
severe lesson by Justice Morgan. The
particulars are too dirty to print.
-Four OF the young men were arrested
this AFTERNOON for disturbing the
peace on warrants sworn ont by
Constable Triplett and George Eng
lert.
We can hardly refrain from pub
fishing the names OF those arrested,
but respect for the family Of one O:
them overcomes the right and the
names OF all are omitted. We wish
these young men to understand, how
ever, that the leniency we have
shown them is not due to fear or
favor, but entirely to the respect we
have for the family that has been dig
graced by d son. All OF them de-
serve the condemnation OF every good
citizen and the full measure OF pun
ishment allowed by the statutes.
Nothing less than this viii ~sutisiy
justice i'll the slightest degree. We
also wish to warn them that if they
engage in such disreputabIe affairs
again their names will be published
and they will be held up to public
scorn and attempt. Such affairs rs
they were engaged III Thursday night
are a disgrace to civilization and
should not go unnoticed and unpun-
ished.
