In tho fusion con fusion Portlaml

second congressional district, where
there was no hopeof electing a con
gressman, a populist was put up,
but in tho first district, where is a
lighting chance, a democrat, tho
president of a bank was put up.
And why? When Jeffrey went to
that convention he had the nomina
tion for representative, but being
ever ready to noil his party for pie
Jeffrey, as soon as put on that com
mittee he commenced casting about
for a better paying odiccand traded
the congressman to the democrats
for the place of district attfi.rnny for

The blitnk setH-.J'ile lo Iw ewd In the

who will start to work on June 1. Tlie

Age returns penetrate snd elneldatn
every other branch of statistical knowl
edge.. They show where child labor !
prevalent, and the proportion of persons
ulilt to support themselves is large or
small. Tlu-y reveal the great number of
colored children and the short life of the
tiegriws under present conditions. They
make il possible to ascertain whether
the average length of life is Increasing
or decreasing, how many men the nation
contains who are rapahle of voting or of
hearing armsand whether the relative
number of children are Increasing or
decreasing, -.
Few would dispute, the necessity lor
asking questions regarding race. All
arguments regarding the future of any
particular rai e In this country, like the
Indian, the negro, or the Chinaman,
must hinge upon the returns in the cen
sus. With the Indians, moreover, it Is
ol ths highest imimrtsnce lo learn what
success the policy of the government
has met with in establishing them apart
from their irila-s aud reservations, and
whether such Imlinns are increosing or
decreasing. i,
Koine mothers may shrink from stat
ing tha number of children they have
had and the iiumour who are living.
Hut from the answer to these questions,
the country will learn whether the
native American, population Is holding
Its own, or whether, .a some have
claimed It is being gradually supplanted
and displaced by the children ol recent
Immlgrnuta. v
lu the light of inch explanations, and
only a lew of the umst important ques
tions have been touched ttpon, it may
pethsps he clear to the public that no
question has been ordered by congress
or has been asked by the census otllee
which, II proiwriy aud correctly
answeied, will not lead to suggestive
inferences regarding the American peo
ple and their work.
