SIN this case the responsibility
could not be shifted upon a SUBJ

all, even to the granting of pas

to admit the clerks 20 the rooms

Owing to the continued delay
of Secretary Wilson to reach a
decision, it is believed that he
will not order another report on
cotton acreage. He promised
President Jordan of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association and
Secretary Hester of the New Or

the question up Monday morning
and settle it. For one reason
and another he has deferred ac-

nothing.

Census Bureau, says that Hyde
gave out statistics without au-
thority.
SIN the months of March and
April, 1891, says Mr.. Richards,
''as any one can see by reading
House report No. 1888 of first
section, page 81, Mr., Hyde did
just what is charged against the
bureau at present, viz: He gave
out, without authority and in vi
olation of his oath of office the
statistics that belong to the Gov
ernment.
''In other words, he employed
three clerks for h ree weeks,
from 6 o'clock in the evening un :
til midnight, to copy the names,
postoffice addresses and acreage
of farmers in the Rocky Noun

rigated their lands. This infor.

The initial concert by Taylor's
band at the City Park on Friday
evening was attended by hum
dreds of our people. Men, wo-
men and children came in crowds
eager for an outdoor entertain
ment, all praisin & those who
made this realization possible.
OF course the Park is not fin
ished; there is much to be done
that will take time and money to
accomplish, but we feel sure
there is public spirit n u g h
among our philanthropic citi-
zens to make this undertaking a
grand success when they realize
there is nothing SO we'll worth
the expenditure. 1t is the inten-
ton of the management to
have these concerts several times
during the week, and possibly u
sacred concert on Sunday after
noon. Later they hope to have
other diversions, and we feel
sure there is much pleasure in
store for every one who wants to
spend an evening at the Park.
Not in many seasons has there
been such quietude in social cir
cles as there is just now in Co.
lumbus. With few exceptions
our young ladies are spending
the summer else where, which
accounts for the dullnes of
things.
The hospitality of the Hardy
home near Artesia has been ex-
tended to several of Miss Lueile's
