Press dispatches annouuce that the Count

Richmond maintains her position as the
third southern city in population, only New

give the population of Richmond as 80,838,

Th“re is a great deal of talk about the

the Ingalls plan, and the island will soon be

Recently “An Admirer” sent to a Balti

I he Census a Failure.
It seems t > be the very general impression
that the census is a failure. Scarcely anv
wbere is it considered reliable. Sew York
is having her csnsus taken b_v her police
men. beeiuseshe is satisded that she has at
leas* 2JO,OCX) mere people than Snpi. Por
ter’s census gives her. In this state the
census sh iwi a decrease in the popula
tio lin a gool many of the counties. It is
very doubtful if there is a single ounty
which has a less population than it hai ten
vears ago. No farms are being abandoned
in Georgia, and it takes as many laborers
to cultivate them as it ever did. And there
is no emigration from Georgia worth men
tioning. On the contrary, there is a very
considerable i nmigration, and has beei for
years. It is nonsense, therefore, to assort
that there are many counties that are leas
p >pulous than they were when the last cen
sus was taken.
Of course Supt. Porter is not wholly to
blame for the failure of ths census. He
could not get competent men in every in
stance, but be c >uld have done much better
than he has. Th i fact is he is not comiieteut
for the work intrusted to him. The worries
of the c-nsus oflice have made him sick, and
he is now suffering from nervous prostra
tion. His condition is such that he is not
able to attoud to the duties of his office and
has gone to Europe. He is taking a sen
voyage in search of health.
It is not easy to understand the
President appointed him suporintendont of
the census. He has no qualifications for the
position, and no experience in the kind of
work required of hiui. He was succeeding
very well as tne editor of a little higa tariff
organ in New York, known as the Press,
which is said to be owned by the league of
American trusts. Perhaps this league is
the power that had him appointed superin
tendent of the census. If it is, it expected
him to serve the trusts. The Republican
party is extremely partial to trusts, and
tho President doubtless raised no objection
whan they insisted that the taking of the
census should be intrusted to Mr. Porter.
A league of trusts, however, should never
have baen permitted to exercise a controlling
influence in the taking of the census. A cen
sus is needed that is as near correct as it is
possible to mats it, tiocause upon it the ap
portionment of representatives in congress
is based, and the election of the President
largely depends. There is a widespread be
lief that the census is hot only a partisan
one, but is go far from the truth that very
little confidence is felt in it, Aud yet it is
to bo the basis of all sorts of calculations
for the next ton years. If the census of
New York is found to be as defective as it
is believed to be, it is a question whether it
would not be advisable for eoagresi to
order another census of the whole country
to be taken.
Still Opposed to Tillman.
Judge A. C. Haskail.of Columbia, 8. C.,
in a letter to tho Charleston Sews unci
Courier, says that he will not vote for Mr.
Tillman, notwithstanding the fact that Till
man was nominated by the Democratic par
ty, and he says he does not think any other
democrat ought to vote for him. He be
lioves that an opposition ticket ought to ba
nominated, composed, of course, of demo
crats, in order to emphasize democratic
disapproval of Tillman methods.
It is quite certain that Julge Haskell will
not accept a nomination for governor from
republicans, and it is not prob tble that
such a nomination will be offered him. It
wai thought soma days ago that the repub
licans would put a tiokat in the field com
posed of leading democrats who are anti-
Tillmanites, but that schema seems to have
fallen through.
It is safe to say that the Tillman ticket
will have no opposition. Tillman will bo
South Carolina’s next governor and Till -
manites will dominate tho state. And it
would not be surprising if they should man
age public affairs much more wisely than
they are expected to. Their views will un
dergo a great change when they get into
power. They will suddenly become very
conservative, and will be ready with ex
cuses for not doing all they have promised.
Of course the methods by which they get
on top are to be condemned, but now that
they are on top they will sing a different
tune. There is no reasou at present to ap
prehend any harm to the state from them.
Republican papers are extracting a good
deal of gleeful satisfaction from a para
graph that recently appeared in the London
Ironmongers' Journal, stating that “a
considerable amount of interest is directed
toward our staple judustry just now, owing
to the drastic McKinley tariff bill which
has managed to pass the Senate and has
boon Bent down to the House of Representa
tives. The effect of the measure upon the
cutlery trade can not be other than
baneful, and a complete deadlock
may ensue.” Commenting upon this
the New York Press calls it putting “the
tax on the other fellow,” by which it at
tempts to imply the old republican sophis
tical allegation that tariff is not a tax. Yet
we could all buy our dollar pea knives for
sixty cents if we didn’t have that import
duty to pay on them. And the only wav the
tariff injures tho Sheffield manufacturers is
that when we break our knives we cau’t
afford to buy new oues becauso they cost
too much, and make us feel disposed to
throw the handles at tho protectionists. So
the makers don’t sell so many.
Last year the total expenditures for pen
sions to soldiers of the late war between the
states was $87,644,779 11, and for the pre
vious year it was $80,228,508 77. Up to
June 30 last the amount for this year was
$109,357,534. Besides that, our regular
army costs $50,000,000 a yoar, inakiug an
aggregate of $139,357,534 for military glory
this year. Next year it will be largely
more. Yet Germany manages to maintain
the largest and bast equipped standing army
In Europe at a cost estimated at $91,726,293
a year.
Prosperous Mr. Louis M. Gr.ffin, a Rich
mond tobacconist, shot himself through the
head in liis room Sunday night, and left on
the toilet table a written apology for thus
soiling the bed clothes. He was to have
been married within a few days, and the
dispatch says that he was suffering from
deep depression. Possibly Mr. Griffin might
not have found matrimony quite so bad as
he anticipated. At all oveuts he would, in
all likelihood, have lived longer by try
ing it.
Another coachman has struck luck. An
uncle in California has just died and left
over $3,000,009 to John Williams, of Bris
tol, Pa. When the festive coachman isu’t
marrying some exclusive aristocrat’s protty
daughter be seems to put in his leisure time
at scooping m rich bequests. Beautiful is
the ten-acre lot of the coachman. He seems
to get about all tho good things that are
going, and coming too, for that matter.
THE MORNING NEWS : THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1890.
A Little Bit of Inside History.
Representative Miller, the colored min
from the Seventh South Carolina district,
who was given Col. Elliott's seat in the
House the other day with such indecent
haste, and in the faci of ihe fast that be did
cot receive as many votes as CoL Elliott by
over 1,300, has been making himself quite
conspicuous in Washing: >n. Hi has intro
duced into congress a bdl appropriating
11,000,000 for a horns for indigent ex-siaves
and also a bill appropriating fi 50,000 for a
monument at Charleston, S. C.. in memory
of colored soldiers who were
killed in the civil war. A few
nights ago he made a speech to the colored
people of Washington, in wnioh he glori
fied himself and other colored men of South
Carolina. Evi dent.y h) is aiming to make
himself solid with the colored voters of the
Seventh district with a view to a re-elec
tion.
There is no doubt, however, that Col.
Elliot: will be re-elec ed. A great many
of the co.ored voters will support him, be
cause tbev have conflience in him, aud it
is a notorious fact that a large number of
the colored people of the district do not
like Miller and cannot be induced (o sup
port him.
There is a story afloat that the re
publicans of the House did not intend to un
seat CoL Elliott. They k tew that he hod
been elec tel in a fair election, and, besides,
he had the influe tee and supDOrt of Senator
Don Cameron. The story goes that last fall
Senator Catapron was in CoL Elliott’s dis
trict huntingf and was his guest. They
became great friends. Senator Cameron
had a chance to inquire into the election at
which Col. Eiliott and Miller were opponents,
and he improved it. He was thoroughly
satisfied that the election was a fair one in
every respect, and that Col. Elliott had re
ceived a clear majority. He said to Col.
Elliott that he need not feel uneasy about
Miller’s efforts to oust him from his seat —
that ho would use his influence to prevent
Miller’s contest from being successful.
It looks very much as if the story were
true, and that Senator Cameron kept his
word. The Miller-Elliott contest and election
case was the last one acted upon, and there
are good reasons for thinking that it was
not the purpose of the republicans to take it
up, and that they would not have done so
had it not been for two things. The first
was the filibustering of the democrats in
the Venablo-Langston case, and the
second was the postponement of
the force bill through the ef
forts of Senator Quay, the colleague
of Senator Cameron. It was known that
Senator Cameron sympathized with Senator
Quay’s movement to postpone that bill, ana
that fact hurt his influence with the repub
licans of the House. However, it is proba
ble that ho would have succeeded in keep
ing CoL Elliott in his seat had not the
Miller-Eiliott contest been called up in a
moment of extraordinary excitement and
acted upon so quickly that there was no
time for Senator Cameron to make an extra
effort in Col. Elliott’s behalf. But the senator
may have a chance at some future time to
assist his friend, siuce Col. Elliott is a can
didate for re-election.
A Ballot Box Reform.
Voters in this county noted aud doubtless
appreciated the changes in the arrange
ment of the ballot boxes iu this county at
the election yesterday. At previous elec
tions, state, county a id municipal, the vot
ing was done in the center of the court
house, at the intersection of the corridors.
It was not a difficult matter for interested
parties to block up the entrances and delay
tho voting whoa they saw that many voters
not in sympathy with them were seeking a
chance to vote. And, as a matter of fact,
the way to tho ballot boxes was often
unnecessary obstructed, and many voters,
whose business demanded their attention,
unable to wait for an opportunity to roach
the ballot boxes, did not vote at all. They
profered not to vote rather than spond two
or three hours at the polls. Of course, tho
strikers and repaaters staid at the polls all
day, and so managed as to carry out their
schemes successfully.
The increase in the number of the ballot
boxes from four to six, and the placing of
them at the winnows opening on the streets,
thus keeping the judges and clerks of tho
election entirely free from intrusion,
or interference from outsiders, is cer
tainly a decided improvement, and one that
will be productive of good results. It can
not be otherwise than that this change in
the arrangement of the ballot boxes will be
regarded as a reform, aud approved by all
who desire fair and free elections.
After choosing for his comic paper, the
other day, a vigorously righteous text, Col.
Editorial Freak Shepard went to nil club
to meditate. There he found that several
members were in arrears, and with the
lively instincts of a true Jenkyns he rushed
back to his office and “wrote up" that start
ling news. His text that day read thus:
“The light of the righteous rejoiceth, but
the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.”
When the governing committee of the
club saw how the good elder had be
trayed tho secrets of the club they seemed
disposed to regard him in the nature of a
“lamp of the wicked,” and felt strongly
inclined to put him out of the club. In
ransacking the scriptures the good editor
doesn’t seem to have stumbled upon the
saying of St, Paul, that, “What is true Is
not always expedient.”
In the celebration of the 100th anniver
sary of the successful invention of ma
chinery for the spinning of cotton now go
ing on in Pawtucket, R. 1., Whitney’s orig
inal cotton gin has a very conspicuous place
among the exhibits. It stands close to one
of the most approved machines for ginning
oottou, and the comparison brings out in a
marked degree tho wonderful improve
ments that have boon made in the cotton
gin. The comparison, however, detracts
nothing from Whitney’s genius. Whitney,
it will be remembered, was a Massachusetts
man who cams to Georgia as ateicher.
He found a generous patron iu the Widow
Greene.
Pleasants and other colored loaders of the
Republican party utilized the day yesterday
by teaching their followers how to vote. It
was a preparatory drill, as it were, for the
congressional and other elections. The
colored voters were not very anxious to
vote, apparently. They do not care to show
their strength, probably, until the county
and municipal olectious, when there will
be a money value to many of their votes.
London newspapers are unmercifully
chaffing James Gordon Bennett about the
receut demise of his London edition, of
the Herald, by which he lost thousands
of dollars. Though the New York
Herald isn’t using any plate
matter, it has boon filling a vary large
-pace of late with the woil-known dsvioe of
advertising itself.
Yesterday’s Election.
There was comparatively little interest in
yesterday’s election, and therefore there
was a very light vote polled in all parts of
the state, except in a few localities in which
there was opposition. Mr. Northen will
soon be inaugurated ns governor, and there
is every re&s n to believe that he will
make a good one. The other new
state house officers are Mr. Le ter
for attorney general and Mr. Nesbit for
commissioner of agriculture. The other
state bouse officers elected are already in
office. The majority of those elected to the
legislature are doubtless allianoemen. The
chief matters of political interest in the
state dow are the choosing of a speaker of
the Houso and a United States senator. A*
the legislature will soon meet, the canvass
for thaietwo offices wji continue to be in
teresting and earned.
Comparing the age of the Republican
party with the age of man, the Cincinnati
Commercial says it may be said to have
reached its full maturity, for it is now about
30 years old. And tho Commercial might
have added ’.hat it has outlived its useful
ness. Since the passage of that tariff
abomination it will probably stop living
and vanish into the innermost recesses of
innocuous desuetude, as it were.
This is tho time of fat-frying. Yea,
verily! While thousands of pounds of
fresh dressed pork were roasting iu Chicago
Monday, the chipper aud enterprising Mr.
Quay was frying the fat from the protected
industries of Philadelphia to save Mr. Mc-
Kinley’s bacon. And like the recent rains,
the monopolists came dow i hands iraely,
with good Brother Wanamaker at the top
of the heap.
CoL Markham, the republican candidato
for governor of Ctlifornia, is going about
the state shaking up the vote's by clutching
their hands; and ho tells them he will shake
with them after the eloctio i as readily as
now. That may be perfectly true. After
the election ho will probably f >el suffi
ciently limp and used up an 1 generally sat
upon to shake hands with a drunken
Chinaman.
In a recent cartoon Munsey's Weekly
calls attention to the inequalities of our
existing reciprocity arrangements with
England. At present we are exporting oar
daughters and ducats and importing only
dudes and policemen. True, we do get a
shapely chorus girl now and then, but they
come almost as high ns they kick.
An inventor has devised a contrivance by
which “an alarm is sounded in the cab of a
locomotive when it gets on the same block
with another train. No need to sound an
alarm then. W hen two traius got on the
same block they are likely to find it out im
mediately without any outside help.
The President has made up his mind to
visit California next May to be presant at
the opening of the Lolaod Stanford, Jr.,
University. It Is pretty well sottle 1, how
ever, that he will not attend Georgia’s
Piedmont fair. The south appears to have
no attractions for him.
Germany is again discussing the character

Though congress does occasionally go into
executive session to edit the Congressional
Record, it will never be a first-class

Nations, like individuals, says the Balti

Why is it that the farmers always want
“a plain farmer” and the mechanic wants

Talkin' and, Swearin'.
Most old-time residents of Mississippi have
known or at least heard of Judge Thrasher of
Port Gibson, says au exchange, who died a
number of years ago. He was an eccentric old
man, strong iu his dislikes and prejudices, and
much given to takiug revenge for real or fan
cied slights and injuries. A young member of
Claiborne county bar named Drake, whom the
judge secretly disliked, had brought an action
for a client, to sustain which he relied entirely
upon tbe testimony of the old gentleman.
“Judge Thrasher.’’ said Drake, when the
cause had been ctiled for triii and the witness
sworn, "please go on and tell the court and jury
what you know of this case." The judge com
plied, but had not talked two minutes in ins
peculiar drawling tone before it became appa
rent to everybody that the plaintiff had no
cause of action; indeed, the testimony was man
ifestly in favor of the defendant.
“Judge Thrasher,” interrupted the lawyer,
a3 soon as he had recovered somewhat from his
amazeineut, “Don’t you remember havingacon
versation with me some three months ago.
touching your knowledge of the transaction in
question?”
“Ido, Mr. Drake,” was the response.
“Didn't you tell me—'' aud the iud gnant at
torney went to state the testimo.iyhe had ex
pected the judge to give.
“1 know I did, Mr. Drake. I was a talkin’ then,
but I’m a swearin’ now.”
A Woman’s Curiosity.
FYom the Columbus Dispatch.
She picked up the paper one evening,
And gave it a hasty glauce, when
Her eye reached a spot where it lingered
And wandered, to go back again.
Her face, which before was all radiant.
Took on an expression all new.
As she turned the sheet in an endeavor
To got, it she could, a rare view.
She then turned the sheet backed in position.
And looked combined anger and woe;
Her brow filled with wrinkled suspicion—
There was something shs wanted to know.
On the first page a wreck and a murder
Stared, each with a thrilling blackhead,
And the stories of sundry divorces
Were all waiting there to be read.
But all were passed by quite unnoticed,
No interest to her mind had they.
And she stared at the spot in the paper
With eyes that would not turn away
What was it, you ask, that she stared at?
Why did she grow angry aud pout?
She had found a square hole iu the paper
Where someone had cut something out.
