Bethlehem, Pa, at its meeting on the
night of April 27, 1909, rendered a re-
ception to Mrs. Jennie Troxell, of AL
ientown, and Mrs. Kate Blair, of Phila-
delphia, Past Department Presidents,
and Mrs. Mary Scott, of Philadelphia,
Past Department Treasurer and present
chair lady of the Council of Admins
tration. Mrs. Scott is a candidate for
State President, hard and faithful
worker for the good of the Order, and
made very good impression on the
members present. Her visit here was
productive of much good to the Order
in this vicinity. Under leadership such
as hers the Order would take on new
life and move onward to greater sue
cesses. By present appearances she
will go to the convention at Gettysburg
with the solid support of the Circles in
the Lehigh Valley. Members of all the
Circles in the Lehigh Valley were pres
ent, Allen Circle, 10, of Allentown, be-
ing present in a body. Lynn Circle,

known Rheumatic remedy to every
reader of this paper who is suffering

They need not buy any medicine unless
they find it benefits their trouble. The
Kuhn Remedy Company win do just
what they say. and is glad to send the

THE CENSUS OFFICE.

terial advance. There is promise that the
Senate will confirm Mr.. Durand in time
SO that he can take charge by July 1,
and that he will have chief clerk select
ed by that time.
Senator La Toilette has been so busy
with tariff that he could not give atten-
ton to a conference over the Census Bill.
The House has been unable to obtain a
quorum of its members so as to send the
bill back to conference again. But before
the end of this week it is probable that
the conferees will be able to enter upon
their deliberations SO that there can be
an agreement upon the terms of the bill
which must go to the President for his
signature.
The President expected to name the
Supervisors of Census in various States
before Congress adjourned or shortly
thereafter. The nominations have to go
to the Senate eventually, and it is de-
sirable that they should be sent there
before the Senate adjourns. The Super
visers have to be drilled and instructed in
their work and directed how to select their
enumerators. While the President nomi-
nally will have the selection of the Super
yisors he must rely to some extent upon
the recommendations of the Director of
the Census. In the interim of wrangling
nothing has been done toward selecting
men for those places and the new Di-
rector will have to take it up. 1t may be
that some men whom Mr.. North had de-
termined upon will not suit him.
A great opportunity lies ahead of Mr..
Durand as Director. He will enter upon
his Office tremendously handicapped for
lack of experience, but if he can make
good-as many believe he will-the result
will rebound greatly to his personal credit
and alike to the benefit of the country: Of
course. the Government is better off in
rot for q (venSnS than If has
been prior to previous ten-year periods.
But millions of dollars nave been spent
upon the permanent Census Bureau with
the idea that it would be in high state
that expectation has been disappointed by
the events of the last two months. 1t
is not only the preparations for work
in the field that have suffered: nven zen
more important are the preparations IoI
tabulating and for office work, which have
been at a standstiIl during period when
there should have been material headway.

The Republican majority is now about
30 votes-yery close to one-third of the
entire Senate. But with about 10 pro.
gressive Republicans who are voting
with the Democrats most of the time, a
few Democratic gains next year would
become embarrassing. The possibility OF
ii is all the more worrisome TO the Re
publican leaders because their party has
been in power so long now without any
reverses that it might seem a change was
bound to come before long.
There are Republican Senators in Ne
braska, Missouri, Nevada, Montana, In
diana and Delaware to be elected mex
year. All these six incumbents will hav'
a fight for their very lives, and. in SOM
of the States mentioned, the conditions ia
vor Democratic successors. Delaware
Nevada, Nebraska, Indiana and Missouri
now have Democratic Legislatures, an'
the chances are even, at least, that Dem
ocratic Legislatures will be reelected II
those States next year. Then Ohio ant
New jersey elect United States Senator
next year, with every prospect OF D.;
fight and no certainty of the result unit
after the ballots are counted. 1t woult
not be exceptional for either of those tw'
States to elect Democrat to the Senate
And therefore as the tariff issue wideni
the breach between the Republican fac
tions, and as the days of revision come Il
a close, there is more and more of ten
dency to look toward the political sign
and wonder what the effect is to be upoI
the dominant party. Mckinley an'
Roosevelt had Republican Congress il
both branches all during their Whit'
House tenures. The Republicans wan
y that way for. Taft. and there is wher
the tug of war Is coming. Once the tarif
p out Of the way. they will begin to max

they were needed; Indiana answered
| that she was more than willing to dou-
BILE her quota, and every refusal from
an announcement from the Northern
States that they would be only too glad
to furnish, in addition to their own, as
many as were required from Missouri,
Kentucky. Virginia, and Tennessee.
| Still, there were very anxious days,
for no troops came In for some time,
and daily the Secessionists in and
around Washington became more inso-
lent and aggressive. Gen. Scott had
prepared Cor n desperate defense, and
Gen. Stone was in charge of the details
| of this. It contemplated resisting a
mob at every step upon its entrance in
TO the city, fighting from the Capitol
! ing everything in a desperate stand
around the White House.
The tension was at last relieved by
| Benjamin +. Eutler, commanding bri-
gade of Massachusetts troops. These
sailed from Boston on steamers, as
cended the Chesapeake Bay to Annapo-
lis, where Butler landed his troops in
spite of the audacious warnings OF
Mayor Brown and others, sending his
men by rail to Washington. The Massa-
| chusetts troops were followed by the 7th
N. Y. coming over the same route, and
upon the arrival of these Lincoln be-
gan to breathe freer. The aggressive
Butler did not content himself with
holding the railroad from Annapolis to
Washington, but he pushed forward to
the Relay House, where he could eXer-
else a moral pressure upon Baltimore,
and control the railroad running into
western Maryland.
Gen. Scott was so anxious about the
lsafety of the Capital that he wanted
everything concentrated there; but But
Ter, convinced that Secession in Balti-
more was mostly bluff and bluster, and
that the hearts of the people were real
ly sound for the Union, quietly marched
into Baltimore one night, and the
morning saw him encampei on the
commanding hight of Federal Hill. This
burst the Secession bubble, and Balti-
more. which had for few days been
more of Confederate city than Rich
mond, Va. re-entered the Union as sud-
denly as she had gone out, and was
henceforth a loyal portion of the United
States.
