CENSUS MAKES SPEED RECORD

William r. Merriam, director of the
census and Frank W. Palmer, public
printer, have been throwing violets
at each other on account of the rapidity
with which the bulletins of the cen
sus Of 1900 have been published. When
the bill providing for the taking Of
the census was before the house in
1899 Mr.. Palmer was asked how
much time limitation would be re
quired by his Office in printing the
statistics. His answer was that the
Office could meet any time limitation
congress might provide

Written and Spoken Chinese.

Chinese is an Geographic language.
It conveys the idea and not the word
for thing, as the figure represents
the idea and not the word. The Chi.
nese have invented more than 10000
marks for their writing, but it requires
only about 5000 marks for mercantile
correspondence and it is said to be
easier to learn than the words of an
ordinary foreign language. Russian is
more difficult for Americans than Chi
nese. 1t takes much longer to learn
the spoken language because of the
variety of dialects, but anyone can
learn enough of the writings to answer
ordinary purposes in few months
and have his knowledge perfected by
lingust within about year. Exact
instruction in one of the Chinese Ian
guages can only be given by China
man.

DEMAND A LARGER NAVY.

One of the immediate effects of the
Venezuelan situation is complete
change of sentiment in congress re-
garding the advisability Of construct
ing new battleships. Secretary Moody
in his annual report recommended
that two additional vessels of this class
be recommended by congress. The
house and senate committee on naval
affairs, however, were practically
unanimous in the opinion that the rec
omendation ought not to be followed,
because it was held congress had al
ready expended enough money for the
expansion Of the navy. The war like
descent of Great Britain and Germany
upon the Venezuelan coast, however,
members of the naval committee to
such an extent that they waived their
objections to the secretary'S recon-
mendations without consulting each
other. Upon the occasion of their first
meeting they discovered by an ex
change of notes that every member
of the committee, Democrats and Re
pubicans, were anxious to incorporate
in the forthcoming naval appropria-
ton bill an item providing for two
new battle-ships.
The Venezuelan affair seems to
have settled in the minds of the ma
tional legislators the idea that the
United States cannot possess to ex-
tensive a navy and that the greater
our equipment of battleships and
cruisers the better we will be pre-
pared at all times to meet contingent
cies.

Old-Time Chess PLAYER.

Carl August Walbrodt, whose death
IS reported from Berlin, was one OF
the Well-knoWn masters of modern
cness and among the Germans was
ranked second only to Tarrasch. He
was only 80 years old, yet had been a
conspicuous player for about a dozen
years. His early successes were re-
markable and unbroken until 1894,
when he was beaten by Tarrasch.
He was a player of the intuitive sort
and could never be induced to take up
the profound theoretical studies In
which most German chess players d.

practically an impossible requirement,
when viewed by the accomplishment
Of the past. The law, however, has
been obeyed and the twelfth census
has been published more speedily
after enumeration than any census
since that of 1870 The results of
tne census of that year were all con-
tanned in a volume of $40 pages,
while those of 1900 required more
than 10000 pages. Therefore it
seems reasonable to say that the
present census has been issued with
greater speed than any other and the
noteworthy accomplishment would have
been impossible without the hearty co
operation of your office and the re-
markable speed with which you per
formed your part Of the great task.

LOCALIZED PRIMARIES.

1t is to be hoped that at the next
meeting of the Central Democratic
committee of Pine Bluff that every
member of the commmittee will be
present, as Chairman w. r. Young
will have the meeting of the commit
tee for the purpose OF submitting to
it the question of legalizing the city
Democratic primary election to be
held on January 16 to nominate a
candidate for mayor and other city
Offices. Chairman Young is in favor
of legalizing the primary. and no mem.
ber of the committee should oppose it,
as a legalized primary is the only
kind that can be held in which there
is anything like guaranty against
fraud. Partisan election officers arc
not SO apt to make false returns in
favor of some defeated candidate they
desire to win, and it deters the illegal
primary. because officers and voters
would not be so free to violate the
law il they realized they were taking

Charges of gross frauds in the pri-

outrageous frauds in many of the past
