No matter who or what inspired
those Maryland census enumelators to
make crooked returns TO the Federal
government, they and all persons con-
cerned with them in the disgracefm
transaction should receive the severest
punishment provided by law for such
ofenses. The Mckinley administration
made an honest effort 10 have the CEN
sus OF 1900 the most complete and ac-
curate in the history OF the country.
and word to that effect was sent along
the line in all the States. Such conduct
as that attributed to the Maryland
enumerators. and heralded broadcast
over the land, serves 70 break down
the confidence Of the people in the
census and to put the honest work Of
honest men under a cloud Of public
suspicion.

In his dealings with Cuba, President
Mckinley viii pursue a consistent
policy and keep his pledges to the
American people and the islanders. who
are endeavoring to formulate a govern
ment which will meet the requirements
under the new order Of things. His sole
desire is that Cuba shall enjoy the
greatest possible good from the SPAN
ish-American war, and that no mis-
take shall be made at the outset of her
assumption Of the dignity of state
hood. The Cubans will lose nothing
by appointing a commission to come 10
this country and confer with Presi-
dent Mckinley. His heart is filled with
kindly feeling for them. and We believe
the result Of such a conference will be
a better understanding on both sides.

sentence means only life imprison-
ment. The trouble lies in the fact that
the state crlmiaal code does net make
il obligatory ca The governor TO sign
the death warrant, and none of the
governors in the last few years has
been willing TO take upon himself the
responsibility Of sending a fellow crea-
ture to eternity. With such a condi-
tion as that prevailing, the only won
der is that there are not more than
forty-seven murderers in the cells, fol
the state puts premium on murder
by failing to punish its perpetrators as
they should be punished.

FAMIER's HORRORS

Tate adyices from Simla, I'm India
are to the effect that the census re-
turns Of the central provinces show q
decrease Of more than a million in
hahitants since 1891, when an in
crease of a million and a-halt might
have been expected. This is due TO
the dreadful ravages OF famine ana
olsease. for the relief OF which repeal
ed appeals have been made to the peo-
ple of this and other countries who
were situated more Fortunately and free
from the pangs Of hunger and utter
hopelessness and desutution. Il is es-
timated that five millions have died
in India since 1896 from causes direct
" due TO the famine. In Western In
dia things are even worse. The Cooley
moor state returns show a decrease OF
$40 900. or forty-flve per cent. OF the
population; the State Of Bhopau
shows a decrease Of S0s,oOo; the dis
trict of Banda shows a decrease ol
124 600. and so on. In Bombay City
the population will have diminished by
80 600. The localities which escaped
the plague show a satisfactory, though
uncompensatlng. increase. For in
stance, Madras has gained eight pei
cent Of 1891. One of the greatest trage
dies the world has known since th'
deluge has been enacted in India sine
1896.

which the colored men respond to the

them to meet the educational require
