''As an instance of popular feeling in

EXAMINING ENUnERATORS.
Census Supervisor Everest looking
for Qualified Counters.
Council Bluffs Nonpariel.)

Council Bluffs Nonpariel)
+. +. Everset, supervisor of the CEN
sus TO" the Ninth district of Iowa, has
been busy lately in looking over the
examination papers which he sent out
a short time ago to the 800 men and
women who have made applications for
places on the enumerating force.
Only 2S4 of the applicants have so
far sent in their answers. The exami-
nation consisted in a series of fictitious
cases in which all information was set
forth which would naturally be fur
nished in an actual case. The applicant
was supposed to sort out this infor-
nation and with it fill ont the blanks
furnished by the supervisor for that
purpose. Some of the answers were
very good, and others very bad. The
best paper contained only two mistakes
in o total of twenty-one examples. The
poorest contained 26S errors. and the
young man who made them will
not receive position.
Among the 300 applicants there were
about fifteen women. Quite number
of the applicants are school teachers,
whose schools will be out by the time
the work of the enumerators must be
commenced, and position of this sort
would furnish them employment for
from two to four weeks of the summer,
according to whether they are employ
ed in the city or country. In the city
the districts will he so constructed as
to contain about 1900 inhabitants, and
the work must be done in two weeks.
In towns under 5000 in population the
time allowed is thirty days, In the
country each district will include one
township. About sixteen enumerators
will be required to do the work in
Council Bluffs, and 179 will be en-
ployed in the whole district.

The resolution passed by the house

wishing congress to adopt free trade
with Porto Rico was surely premature.
We do not think it correctly represent
ed Iowa opinion. 1t was out of the
province of the house to advise con-
gress upon subject concerning which
congress had infinitely better oppor-
tunities to understand. If it had not
been that few congressional aspirants
were trying to gain advantage we think
the resolution would never have been
