and left in the air between two British
forces. There is rebellion in northern
Cape Colony to be sure, but it has not
reached proportions likely TO be uncon-

peter out in the face of such Boer reverses

CENSUS OFFICE PLANS.
No Difficulty Found in Obtain in Z
Plenty of Enumcrator>.

Director Merriam. Of the Census Office.
said today that he had no knowledge Of
any difficulty in finding euumerators. as
described in recent dispatches from Phil
adeIphia. Chicago. and elsewhere.
The work of obtaining the enumera-
tors" said Director Merriam, 'devolyes
upon the supervisors in the various States
and Territories. who select persons who
are, in their Judgment. competent to I'll
the position. This work is now in full
progress. and Is. so far as known by this
office. perfectly satisfactory in its results.
Each person nominated by the supervisor
to he an euumerator is furnished by this
Office with blank used in setting forth
the names. ages. occupation. etc, of the
various families. The candidate selects a
particular family which he describes in
the blank furnished him. If this is exc
cutcd in a satisfactory manner the appii-
cant is then appointed to the position Of
enumerator.
1t is expected that all these blanks will
be received BY the Office by April I. thus
leaving ample time before June l. the
date al which ;he actual work OF Gnumera-
,ion begins TO examine the test sheets
and determine upon the capability of the
applicants.
Special agents are already obtaining
statistics of the various manufacturing
districts throughout the country. 1t is
designed to make this work move along
harmoniouSIy with the enumeration CT the
population aud as it is rather more diff
cult to get it properly started it has been
commenced some time before the latter.
"AII indications point to the conclusion
that the work Of the Office will move
along very smoothly. The mechanical de
vices in connection with the card system
are marvelously ingenious. and will facili-
tate matters greatly. punching and clas-
sifying the many million cards with the
greatest facility and accuracy. The Census
Bureau is meeting with the heartjest CO.
operation of the various Government de-
partments that are brought into contact
with it's work. as well as from private
firms and corporations throughout the
country. There is every prospect that the
work will BE facilitated by the opportunI'
ties so generously offered by these insti
tutions. and that the work of the Twelfth
Census will be easier than might be sup
posed from the nature of the task it has
set itself to accomplish in so comparative

The Keeping of Journals.

The authorities at Harvard have devised
a somewhat fantastical plan of making
history. All the officers of the university,
and a limited number of students, are
asked TO keep daily journal during the
month Of March. These journals are to
be deposited in the college library, under
seal. and kept in locked chests till 1925.
No general use of the records will be per-
mitted till 1860 The idea is to secure a
picture Of the daily life of the university
at this time. The writer's of the journals
are requested to be as explicit as possi-
bic. including details of professional and
private life which may be of interest to
coming generations.
This scheme is rather formal, and it
seems as il it would inevitably tend to
self-consciousness: but the records will be
to a certain extent interesting and valua-
BILE. Every book lover and historian has

Y'he ReuubIican Dilemma.

When the whole country broke out in .
burst of indignation at the action Of the
uust Administration and its satellites ia
the House of Representatives, in forcing
passage of the Payne tariff infamy. parry
managers declared that it was only a little
breeze which would soon blow over. After
that. they predicted. the Republican masses
would grow quiet and stupidity content
again. aud everything would be serene.
These Administration trust agents have
made a mistake in entertaining any such
opinion. Public sentiment is more thor

projected crime against Porto Rico and the

A STEEL BRIDGE WANTED.
Dover. Nd. to Replace the Broken
Wooden Structure.

EASTON. Md, March 12.-There was a
ioint meeting in Easton Saturday Of the
Boards of County Commissioners of Tai
bot and Caroline counties to consider the
Dover bridge breakdown. 1t will take an
other meeting to bring matters to a con-
Clusion, both counties wishing to replace
the present wooden structure from the
draw to Talbot shore with a steel bridge
and to nut on a steel sliding draw. The
only impediment is the cost. A rough es-
innate made by a Pittsburg concern puts
the cost at 5000. Plans and details Of
the estimate are now being made. Talbot
can pay its part of the cost by an increase
of | or cents in the tax rate this year.
But Carolina's tax rate is already El12l@
and cannot be safe increa5ed. The comfy
has besides large bonded and floating
debt.
The Legislature may be asked to pass
an enabling act authorizing the Commits
sioners of Caroline County to issue bonds
for Dover bridge uses. The bridge is TO v
steel from the draw to the Caroline shore,
three -ffths Of it's length. Mr.. George NJ
Wingard, whrse traction engine broke do Su
the draw and now lies at the bottom of the
Choptank river, says he will make no at
tempt to raise it. He will send bill for
damages to the County Commissioners,
and if they refuse to pay it viii brig
suit to recover.

BILE is the fact that journals have ceased
to be. There are many ways in which
such records may be- useful, and If
kept as they should be they are almost
always interesting. 1t is unnecessary TO
say that they should not be mere escape
valves of sentimentality, though, after
all, perhaps, it is better for sentimental
person to confde emotions to dumb paper,
which may be destroyed, than to live
confidant who is likely to tell tales after
ward. But if a journal is made lively,
well written, and thoughtful record of
happenings of ones daily life it will GER
tainly be a source of pleasure in after
years.
Almost any household would find the
family journal delightful thing to have.
Such a book is sure to be useful. and is
generally amusing, II ought to be large
blank book, without dates, so that there
need be no space limitations for any one
day; and some member of the family
should make record each day. The va
riatiors in chirography and style wouid
! make such a record all the more enter
tanning, and if it is carefully kept, and as
usually happens, two or three members OF
the family have some literary ability. the
book would probably deserve place IN
some museum when it is hundred years
old No one can deny that it would be las-
cinating to read the daily history OF a
Virginia family of the time of Washing
ton. of an Illinois household when the
middle West was in the making, or OF a
Southern plantation during the war. Our
own time. though il seems matter-of-tact
and uninteresting TO the average mind
will be as full of fascination to readers OF
history a hundred years hence, for time is
a sort of alchemist and changes the COM
mon iron and pebbles of everyday life TO
rare treasures in the course of century
or two. But, leaving the historical value
of a family journal entirely out OF the
! question it could not but prove source
of entertainment and satisfaction to the
writer's themselves.

WOOLEY WOULD ACCEPT.
Likely to BE the Prohibitionist Nom

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, March John G.
Wooley, of Chicago, who is considered the
probable Prohibitionist party nominee for
President this year, is in Sioux City. He
said that he would accept the nomination
if it was offered to him and would make
a hard fight to win. though he considers
the case hopeless. In 1896 he declined to
run.
Mr.. Wooley says that the Prohibition
party promises to make such a show OF
strength in the next few years as to COM
pei one OF the old parties to take up the
prohibition cause in the hope Of gaining
the strength of the Prohibtionists. He
says the temperance cause has gained in
strength since the last Presidential cam
paign and never was so popular as now.

Mr.. Sheldon says that newspapers pry

man is before the public every move is OF
interest. and it is right that people should

Hay -PauuCefOte Treaty. Mr.. Hill. it Is re
called has been in Washington Consid
erably of late and he came soon after the
storm of protest against the Hay-Paunce
fute convention was raging furiOusly all
over the country. Mr.. Hill is said to be
a c0nsummate diplomat and an intel5e
American As one of the most accomplished
transportation directors in the nation. he
is presumed to have devoted much thought
and study To the subject OF the proposed
isthmian ship canal and 10 have formed his
own conclusions as 10 the effect that en-
terprise would have upon continent
al railroad values and securities. While
Coils P Huntington and those associated
with him in the Southern Pacific Railroad
are said to have withdrawn their OppOsi-
tion 10 the canal in view of the promised
recompCnSe to them through their ship
building interests and the aid TO those in
terests contemplated in the Hanna-Payne
subsidy scheme Mr. Hill and his associates
in the Northern Pacific are said to be not
vet so well prepared to profit by the change
which would be wrought by an inter-
oceanic waterway as would the Hunting
ton group OF financiers, because the North
ern Pacific is not so heavily interested In
ships and shipbuilding. Senator Davis. it
is supposed. is very well acquainted with
Mr. Hill. and naturally has confidence in

therefore, assumed that if Mr. Hills recent
visits TO Washington were caused by his
interest in the Hay PaunCefote Treaty as

tion question the distinguished Senator
from Minnesota would listen respectfully
to any representations upon the subject
