In one respect the experi ment of killing by electricity was a Is a question that is always more or less agitated, especially by the elergy, many of whom insist strong ly upon the strictest and most rigid of PriaeviUe.. observance of the Sabbath, much more strict than suits the independ ent idea of thinking of a large ma jority of the people of this age. Even the running of railroad trains, publishing of newspapers and keep ing open barber shops, cigar and confectionary stands on Sunday is 6trongly denounced by the straight laced type of clergymen, and a move is on foot to get a national Sunday law passed preventing all these liberties. But while these radical views are entertained by some, there seems to be a rrowiner spirit of liberty and freedom on the j of the exact population of Crook In speaking of the census, our contemporary, the Xeus, says : '"Whe know the enumerators of this county did their work faith fully and well." They may have done their work faithfully, but it is indeed doubt ful if they did it well. If they did, i the results show a peculiar state of affairs, and when the editor of the Xeivs or anybody else says he knows they made a correct enu meration he makes an assertion that is difficult to prove. In fact, the returns show such a peculiar state of affairs that almost any one who has given the matter any thought is exceeding doubtful if the enumerators came within 500 into existence and either divide the trade or take it all from their older ii i ii nu less enierpnsing neignoors. succegS) for Kemmeler was killed, The Dalles is one of the towns of but aa to the question of it teing a Oregon that possesses many nat- painies8 dealh there is a diversity oral advantages over any other, yet 0f opinion.

Among these Cardinal Gibbon is foremost ; and not only on account of the high standing of the man, but on ac count of the liberality of his ideas, are his expressions on this subject worthy of notice. He notonly approves the opening of libraries, museums and other places of amusement on Sunday, but declares that, apart from such religious exercises as each man's conscience may impose upon him, the day should be given up to such recreations as contribute to the physical, mental and moral benefit afid enjoyment of the people, a great majority of whom have no other day on which it is possible foi them to get away from the busy cares of every-day life and indulge in recreation of any sort. This view of what Sunday observ ance ought to be, would be worthy the attention of our law makers when asked to enact measuremak ing it unlawful for anyone to en gage in any of the ordinary pur suits of life either of labor or amusement on the Sabbath day. Any recreation which is both in nocent and regardful of rights and feelings of others, is evidently bet ter worship than that which is ob served merely for the sake of form. And it is extremely doubtful if any law requiring the observance of Sunday is wholesome. That it 6hall be a day of rest and enjoy ment is well enough, but for the state or any sect to dictate as to how the day shall 'be observed is carrying authority too tar. it a man wants to observe his only day of rest by going to church, in prayer, v tinging songs, sleeping, reading, attending picnics, orAany other innocent and harmless amusement, it is not the province of the state or anybody else to say that he shall not, so long as he does not interfere with the rights and privileges of his neighbors. The manner of Sunday observance should be a question of a man's own conscience, and should not be dictated to by any one else. county. The returns of the enumerators shows a population of 3310. At the general election last June 1088 of these voted. The reports of the school clerks of the various dist ricts, made last March, showed there were 11G2 school children persons between four and twenty years of age in the county. That is, the population of this county consists of 108S voters, 1162 per sons over four years and under twenty years, and only 1060 wom en over twenty, infants under four years, males over twenty and under twenty-one and non-voters all corn bined. It is said figures won't lie, but those who put them together often make them tell some very mysterious truths. And one of most mysterious things we have ever known figures to do is the showing made above. But if our enumerators "did their work well'1 these figures are very nearly cor rect, though it will take something more than mere assertions to make the citizen of ordinary intelligence believe that such things are possi ble. These figures are so utterly ab surd that they would seem funny were it not for the fact that by the inaccuracy of the census Oregon is likely to lose a representative in congress, which the state would be entitled to, had the census been correctly taken. As it 13, it is no laughing matter, and he who as sumes to say the bungling enumer ation is correct, subjects himself to ridicule. KIOXJHUSTO, Countv Surveyor, REAL ESTATE AND EMPLOY MENT AGENT.

Supt. Kelly, of the western district of the state, is anxious for a recount, but Supt. Strange op poses it very strongly, no doubt be cause he is afraid to have his bun glescme work investigated. In his endeavor to serene his inaccurate work by preventing a recount, he has telegraphed the department stating that people generally are satisfied that the coyit was correct and in the face of this statement by Strange, the boards of trade of every city in his district that has such an organization have tele graphed to the department, de nouncing the recent census and demanding a recount. Strange is certainly an awful liar or the busi ness men of all the principal cities of Eastern Oregou are mo3t econom ical with the truth, and the depart ment at Washington seems to take the latter view.
