THE principal work of taking the
general census will begin In earnest
next Friday and will be completed
within a month. Census Information,
therefore, is OF great interest now. The
census records of this country are con-
sidered the most complete OF any ma
ton. The first census was taken in
1870, and was very unsatisfactory. The
census is taken under a special provi-
sion of the constitution. There was
national outcry of disapprovsl in 1870,
but in 1910, however, the census was
satisfactory, and there has been little
dissatisfaction since. You are requir-
ed to give your name, age. nationality,
wealth, occupation, and tell If you are
married of single, or whether you have
any chronic disease. whether your pro-
perty is mortgaged, and to whom, and
other apparently impairment questions.

BISHOP MERRILL calls the abolition
of the time limit, as it applies to
Methodist pastors, "a calamity" but
nearly every other delegate to the
great Chicago conference seems pleased
with its removal. The time limit was
first establ shed in the Methodist
church In 1904. Previous to that time
the bishops governed the length of
the pastorates at will. At last some
pastors remained four years in one
place, aud Bishop Asbury himself got
tired of IL and recommended time
limit. The first time limit set was
two years, and this was in force with
waning popularity for sixty years. In
1864 abe church made the limit three
years instead of two, and In 1888 three
years was unsatisfactory and the FIVE
year limit was established. At last, in
1900. the church returns to the rule
that prevailed before 1904 and leaves
the whole matter to the bishops. The
of the time limit will produce
a sensation among pastors now in
their fifth year and In the churches
which they are serving.

PROPOSED DISERANCHISEMEN
OF OUR MEXICAN VOTERS.

The Pecos News has stirred up nest
of yellow jackets by its remarks about
the Mexican voter. In the following
words that paper deuounces our
Mexican citizens and advocates their
dist auchi=ement:
Now while other southern states are
passing resolutions and enacting laws
to disfranchise the negro, and this is
emiuentlv proper under certain re-
strictions, let Texas fall into line and
disfranchise not only the negro, but
the Mexican on the same ground as
we'll. That the negro is thousand
times more eligible to the exercise OF the
franchise than the ordinary Mexican
goes without saying. He has no in
terest in our country nor its laws. he
Is here for the money that Is in 1t and
has no conception of honor. He
Ia the willing tool of the moneyed m an
and despises our language. We shall
never be able to make q citizen out of
him, for he is antagonistic to the very
spirit of our institutions. he is ignor-
ant and wishes to remain so. All this
cannot be charged against the negro
The Mexican may become . citizen un-
der q new regime. but not as we are
now educating him. The principal
thing he has learned is that the man
with the most money gets there. That
there's no such thing as the greatest
good to the greatest humble where
q mans personal am bition lie at stake,
is the lesson he first learns. No, we'll
never make citizens out of them on
these lines. Let's disfrxuohise him On
the same ground that they are talking
of disfrauchisirg the negro. for the
reasons are Of infinitely greater mag
nitude.
There is one great weakness in the
argument of the News. "The princi-
pal thing he has learned is that the
man with the most money gets there"
Butwho taught him this lesson? Was il
the disreputable white politician who
found it necessary to buy his vote 10
order to control the rotten primary or
the rottener convention.
AS matter of fact, Ell Paso Ia doing
more for the Mexican population than
any other city In Texas We are Civ
ing them the same school privileges
shat are given to whites. We are
teaching them the principles of good
citizenship, and If when they grow up
they are corrupted by unscrupulous
politicians it is not necessarily the
fault of our educational system.
The remedy ia most emphasically
not to disfranchise the Mexican, but to
make the vote buyers do too uncom
Portable for him. Down the dishonest
political boss, and men will not sell
their votes.
Before we set out to stulhfy our
selves by thrusting behind US the first
principles of q republican government

There are honorable Mexicans rs

II we have taught some of them dis

Pleasing to All.

When the results OF the committee
meetihooAt Boise, the 22d inst, were
flashed over tho wires the bi-metallic
forces in every county in the state were
encouraged and the national bi-metallic
forces Sere greatly pleased. And when
1t Was added that no number of parties
ever came together in common cause
with so much ease, earnestness and
Gpap!miiy then the encouragement
grew into enthusiasm aud those who
had been in doubt we're comforted and
took heart again. To every man OF the
reform forces the skies are looking
bright once more.
The united action of the three COM
mittees must impress all opposing
forces with the hopelessness the strug-
gle before them. If the Democrats
could win in 1896 in fusion with the
Populists by 5000 and in 1898
with the Silver Republicans by
5000 it will be still easier to win
in union with both parties. II
we should be asked TO admit that the
SILVER Republican party had lost one
third OF its voting strength since
1898 and the Populists the same of their
strength, still we would not be figuring
at random to say the union of the three
parties can carry the state by safe
plurality. The common rules OF any
arithmetic will justify the results ar
sissd at ie solving such an example in
our political proportion. Let him try
it who may.
