WASHINGTON LETTER.

When the time arrives to take the
next census of Uncle Sans dominions,
there will be a fully equipped and
thoroughly organized force ready to
undertake the task. In the past the or
ganiZation of a force to take the CEN
sus has been a mighty undertaking,
and the work of compiling the results
of the enumerators has been labor Of
years.
All this is changed now, for the inte-
rior department has organized per-
manent census bureau, the first in the
United States. Such an undertaking
presupposes confusion-the assembly
of an army of clerks. the disposition Of
supplies and the preparation of quar-
tiers. But such was not the case. The
important new bureau sprang into life
without causing a ripple.
Under the direction of William R.
Merriam. the last census was the most
complete and expeditions ever taken.
In previous decennal years directors
of the census have WreStled year aft
er year with the enumeration and it's
incidental computations, sometimes for
five years, sometimes six, sometimes
even seven years, but never less than
four. Mr.. Merriam's force completed
its four principal reports in about two
years, having done work that in the
previous census extended over seven
years,
To accomplish such a result required
the greatest possible degree of admin
istrative skill and energy. There were,
for example, over $1,000 enumerators
to be trained and supervised. About
620,000,000 cards passed through the
punching machines in the Washington
office. The Especial" tasks of the bu-
reau included 100000 schedules on
population, $4,000 schedules on vital
statistics, 5,738,524 agricultural sched-
ules and 608,40 schedules on manu-
features. Every single schedule, ev-
cry one Of the 620,000,000 cards which
were punched here in the main office
of the bureau, had to be carefully ex-
amined and stripped of it's statistical
information.
Yet the number of assistants who
united with Governor Merriam to
achieve this result in two years was

MIR. Clements Speech.
Current Press Comment.

The only hope of the friends of prohbi-
ton now is that a campaign of educa.
ton be at once commenced and contin-
ued until the crucial test comes, when
the referendum bill is submitted for ap-
prevail or disapproval, and unless a
majority OF the voters shall place their
seal of condemnation upon license at
that time, Vermont will pass, if not for
all time, for many years at least, into
the column of license states, and we
shall see saloons scattered through our
Vermont villages as we now see them
when we cross the border into Canada
or 60 into the state of New York, where
open saloons are the order Of the day.
We confess that the picture is not an
inviting one to those who believe, as
many OF the staunchest and best men of
our state do believe, that saloons are a
menace to the welfare of our state and
especially to the rising generation.

Lord Salisbury has been not merely a
great but an exceedingly interesting fig.
ure in the public life OF Great Britain and
the world. He has not derived his an
thorlty exclusively from the station he
has occupied, but has invested his office
with a commanding personal influence.
1t has often seemed that he took a pecu-
liar pleasure in adopting an attitude or
exhibiting manner which was sure not
to correspond to expectations, and that
IN so doing he did not diminish but en-
HANGED his prestige. We do not mean to
imply that he has been in any sense er-
ratio. On the contrary, when his con-
duct or his speech has caused surprise, it
has been rather because the excitement

gained in '9S. A medical board which
recently investigated the report that ty-
phoid fever prevailed among the troops
now under canvas in the park, has re-
ported that the statement is without

water in the park is pure and wholesome,
and the health conditions are perfectly
normal, the few cases of typhoid being
purely sporadic.
