THE CENSUS MAN IS COMING.

On June l the State will set at work
LOO enumerators in the various mu
nicipal divisions. The last State cen
.sus was taken in 1895, but the present
one will differ from that in severa'
particulars. as it has been made tt
conform with the national law. The
old law, which was passed in 1885,
provided for the ascertaining of the
name, age and place Of birth of the in
habitants of the municipalities of the
State and the reorganization was sell
dom used except to find the total
number of the inhabitants of any To-
cality. This year the schedules to be
used by the enumerators comprise
twenty questions to be answered for
every inhabitant Of the State, and are
exactly like those used in taking the
national census. Each schedule will
include the name of the person, color
and race, sex, year and month OF
birth, age at last birthday whether
single, married, widowed or divorced
number of years married; place Of
birth; place of birth of parents; year
of emigration to the United States
number Of years of residence in the
United States whether naturalized ;
occupation; able to read, write and
speak English If home is owned or
rented; if owned, whether free or
mortgaged
Each person questioned by the emu
merators will be expected to give
truthful answers to the questions pro-
pounded, and the new law provides a
penalty in case of refusal to answer.
From the answers thus received it is
expected that there may be prepared
report showing the total number of
inhabitants of the states the number
of males and females; the number of
white males and females; the number
of black males and females, the num-
Der of single, married and divorced
persons; the number of persons en-
gagged in every branch of business and
in the various professions; and other
valuable statistical matter. In addi-
tion to this, information will be OBJ
tanned as to the total number of school
children between the ages of and Is
years, the number Of minors and the
number of males subject to military

THE question Of capital punishment
is one to which there are two sides, for
either of which strong arguments can
be advanced. So long, however, as it
is a law Of the State it should be en-
forced the same as other laws without
regard to condition or sex. Two wo-
men have recently been convicted of
murder in Bergen county. In the case
of one of them, Mrs. Valentino, siren
uous efforts are being made by her
lawyers assisted by. some of the news
papers to get her sentence commu-
ted To do this they are blackening
the memory Of the innocent victim
by saying of the murderess. "She
was goaded to crime. Her husband
was stolen from her, and the woman
did it tantalized her by twitting her of
her inability to retain that husband S
affections. The facts in the case as
set forth in the evidence in the trial
before Justice Pitney are these: The
Valentino woman was living in unlaw-
full rehabilitation with an italian and
together they had saved up money to
build a tenement house which was in
his name and about which they had
violent quarrels. The murdered wo-
man was the faithful wife of tenant
of the building in question, the moth
er Of several children and had recently
given birth to twins. On the day of
the murder the Valentino woman was
walking by the house and seeing the
other woman at a window got in wordy
alteration with her during which she
was twitted of her Illicit relations.
She went to her home, secured a keen
carving knife and returned to the ten
ement. Her victim seeing her coming
locked herself into her rooms, but the
enraged woman kicked the door in and
in spite Of the babe in her arms cut
and slashed the unfortunate woman

How splendid a month businessmen
had throughout the United States in
April, is only apparent, now that the
statistical reports have been COM
pleted. Commercial failures during
the month, as reported by r. G. Dun
& Co., were only 1888 in number and
S8,O56, S66 in amount of liabilities, a
much better exhibit than was made
during the corresponding month last
year. when there were lob defaults
involving S13, 1876, 6SS. The record in
manufactures was especially encourag-
ing. The total liabilities in manu-
featuring were only 1855, 26O, as
against a total of s., 222, 1928 in April a
year ago. General business activity
continues to expand. Although there
is, fortunately, no boom, business is of
a boom proportion. The total clear
ings at ninety-four cities Of the United
States for the month of April, aggre-
gated Sl2, 1911, 500, 528, a sum only one
and one-half per cent. behind the re-
cord total Of March, this year, and 3d.
per cent. larger than the month of
April, 1904. The wonderful volume Of
current trade cannot be better Illus
trated than by the statement that the
Sl2,672,0O0,0OO Of bank clearings in
April, 1905, compare with only IS, 267,-
00O,0Oo in April, 1904; $3.50, 100000 in
April, 1908; and $1O,SS1 100000 in the
boom year, 1902.

OWING to very general misunder-
standing in regard to the matter an
erroneous statement was made last
week regarding the fees received by
policemen in making arrests. They
receive fees only when acting as con-
stables in criminal cases, In cases Of
violation of ordinances, disorderly con-
duct, etc., the fees are collected from
the party convicted, but they are turn
ed into the town treasury with the
fines collected.
AS the matter Of establishing a po-
lice court is being agitated we have
looked up the matter of arrests and
trials in the town during the year en-
ding April Both. BY the Marshal's re-
port it will be seen that they amount
in the aggregate to 391, an average Of
slightly over one day Two-thirds Of
these are drunk and disorderly cases;
fifteen were violation of ordinances,
pedding without license, riding bicy-
Giles on the sidewalk, etc.-while nine
ty-two we're criminal cases, nearly all
of which were made on complaint of
the parties suffering from wrong do
ings, and the police only appeared be-
cause they were deputized to act as
constables. AS to the fees. When ar
rests are made on criminal process the
justices fees are 81. As If the party is
committed to jail, and if afterward adj
mitted to bail eighty cents more. The
constable or policemen get eighty
cents for an arrest and 81. 90 for taking
the prisoner to jail if committed.
Whether the prisoner is indicted or
not these fees are paid by the county.
in cases Of arrests for violation of Or
dinances, disorderly conduct, etc, the
fees are the same. The town pays the
justice and the fees of the officer MAX
ing the arrest is charged up against the
individual
Ii a person is arrested and discharg-
ed the justice receives $1.O0 from the
town and turns it into the town treas
ury if collected The revenue to the
town from the police business averages
about $3.50 per year. To establish a
police court like those held in cities
and have the justice and clerk on a
salary basis would cost about $1,000
per year.
