A Manufactures Census Started

Washington. D. c., Feb. 3.-The
United States census bureau has be
gun to take the federal census of man
ufactures, mines, quarries, petroleum
and natural gas for the year 1909
which comprises two of the principal
inquiries embraced in the thirteenth
decennial census, the others being
population and agriculture.
The canvass is being made under
the supervision of Mr.. William NJ
Steuart, chief statistician for manu-.
features. and about 1900 special
agents will be employed eventually in
the work, and they are from day to
day being appointed by Director Dur,
and from the eligible registers estab.
lished as a result of the November
5 examination of candidates for these
positions.
Director Durand has taken extraor-
binary precautions to assure the man
ufacturerS that all answers will be
held absolutely confidential This
statement is conspicuously displayed
on the front pages of the various

made in the census reports disclosing
the name or operations of individual
establishments in any particular The
act of congress provides that the bur.
eau of the census shall not permit
any other than its sworn employees to
examine the individual reports. 1t
provides also that any employe who
shall, without the authority of the
director of the census, publish or com
municate any information coming into
his possession shall be guilty of mis-.
demeanor, and upon conviction shall
be fined not to exceed $1,000 or be
imprisoned not to exceed two years
or both, in the discretion of the court
There is but a limited time in which
to complete this work." said Director
Durand today. 1T is essential that all

and retained in the service until the
work is finished.
If manufacturers or others furnish.
ing data object to a supposed disclosure
of the secrets of their business, the
special agents will assure them that
the results OF their individual business
will not be made public They are re-
quired also to explain that the infor-
nation will not be used for the pur-
poses of taxation. nor in any manner
to identify the operations of the indi-
vidual establishments, and will not be
disclosed to any other bureau Of the
Federal Government. The intent of the
law, which will be strictly carried out.
is to prevent the disclosure of infor-
nation which might operate to the det-
riment in any way of the person or
establishment supplying it.
THE period covered will be. wrere-
ever possible. that of the year ending
December 81, 1909. In the majority of
cases the data can be secured for it.
as the business year of most establish
ments will correspond to the calendar

ming operations for the first time dur
ing the year it will not be possible to
make the report cover more than the
period actually embraced.

A mule in pack train which was
usually loaded with salt discovered
that by lying down when fordins a
certain stream and allowing the salt
to dissolve he could tighten his bur
den. The muleteer once loaded him
with sponges instead. which absorbed
water when he lay down in the stream
and made his burden fourfold heavier.
The mule was cured OF his smartness.

NEW YORK'S BATTLE ROYAL.

The most important state campaign
OF this year will be fought in New
York. so important will it be, indeed
that the result may have national sig
nificance. if the democrats win with a
good man for governor, and, in the
revolution, the legislature is thrown in
for good measure. thus insuring a
democratic successor to Mr.. Depew, the
Bryanites will then have reason to feel
anxious about control of the next demo.
cratic national convention. The party
must have New York in order to cap
ture the presidency, and the argument
will be that as Mr.. Bryan has failed
three times in the state the hope of
success lies in nominating a local man
who has shown his qualities at the
polls.
sions. The republicans are all snarl-
ed up, not only over men but measures.
To add to the difficulties, Gov Hughes

to address himself to his private af-
fairs. With him ont, who for leader =:

On the other side. the Connerites
confront the anti-Connerites. The lat

recognized if it is to command conf

A most interesting feature of the sit
uation is the importance of Mr. Hearst
He has a following OF goodly proper
tions. and it will matter much with
which side he trains. He is an indie
pendent if one may be found in the
state. He helped defeat TammaEy hall
in November because he considered
1t thoroughly corrupt organization.
He has expressed distrust Of the Sara
toga reformers. ticketing them as trus-
agents and corporation lawyers. Nor
are Mr.. Connors and Mr.. Murphy at all
to his taste.
But may he be expected to give MS

How the French Faced Disaster.
From the Baltimore Sun.
1t took ten long days and nights of
peril to dampen the gayety of Paris.
During the first week of the flood the
Parisians found it far more entertain
ing than alarming. There was the
thrill of romance in it, the sting of
novelty. All along the quays the au-
tOmobles of fashionable folk Rugged
the parapets. each with its freight of
picnickers. and from the very bridges
Quaking though they were, the stu
dents and shop girls Toasted their eyes
upon the yellow torrent few feet
beneath them. Not until the police
drove the crowd back did the flood
cease to be a show. and as soon as
the waters fell the crowd was back
again, eager and gay. But let it not
be supposed that this naif curiosity
was all that the Seine's running
amuck brought forth, for the fau-
bourgs and boulevards are not France,
nor even Paris, any more than Broad
way is the United States. We are
too apt to get our notion OF French
men from the merrymakers of Mont
martre. and the opera neighborhood.
1t is as if one were to Judge the Ital-
fans by II Paglacci" AS a matter of
fact. there were a hundred Frenchmen
fighting that gigantic rush of waters
to every one that made it an excuse
for holiday. The story Of the battle
belongs to epic poetry. There were
marvels of daring and ingenuity. Ev
cry moment offered its new proof that
the French are greatest in the hour
Of disaster.
