-So much criticism mas bestowed vp-
m the statistics and conclusions of the
census of 1S that those in charge
of the collection of census statistics for
IX are especially anxious that they
shall be correct To facilitate speed,
simplicity and accuracy the schedules
filth which the census enumerators
will be armed hare been reduced from
Ib to tour those concerning popula
tion, vital statistics, manufactures and
sericulture. In practice a large turn
tr of the enumerators need concern
themselves with but three, as in the
cities there will be no agricultural sta
tistics to be collected, and in the coun
try the manufactories and products of
manufactures are usually of small ac
count The question that people don't
like to answer about the moral char
acter, physical defects and criminal
records of all members of their lespec
Uve, families have been omitted. De
spite the determination of the census
bureau to reduce the work of census
taking to a mere enumeration of popu
lation and production, difficulty was
encountered In securing 50,00 really
competent enumerators. This arose
partly, from the fact that every intel
ligent competent person Is permanent
ly employed. Men with steady work
don't care to resign their positions for .
Jobs that will not last beyond thirty
days at most and in many cases not
more than ten days or two weeks. As
a result a large number of applicants
have been rejected because of failure
to properly fill out -the test schedule
which is presented to each appll.-a.n-
The men who are in a state of chronic
idleness at this time; even though
backed by political Influence, are not
ot the kind that can be depended upon
to secure a correct enumeration of the
residents and Industries of their re
spective census sub-divisions.
JUSTICE TO GENERAL WHEELER.
, It Is not creditable to the democrats
that a number of their leaders In con
gress are opposed not only to the ad
mission of General Wheeler to his seat
in the house, to which he was unani
mously elected by the people of his dis
trict, but also to his retirement a a
brigadier general in the army.
At the time that General Wheeler
was elected to the present congress
he held a commission in the army, and
it is fair to assume that he could not
hold the two offices of general and rep
resentative: but there nave been many
Instances In which men have been
chosen to congress who at the time of
their election held military or official
civil positions which were incompati
ble with the office of congressman.
General Wheeler resigned his office
as major general of volunteers before
the mealing of the present congress.
The fact that he continued In the ser
vice of his country at the front of the
fighting line for several months there
after, should go to his credit and not
n an uffenae to men of any political
fallh. According to the precedents of
the house. General Wheeler is as fully
entitled to be qualified as a member
today as were any of the present mem
bers when they qualified as represen
tatives. It has ben suggested that General
Wheeler should be authorized by con
gress to be retired as a brigadier-general
of the regular army, and if he de
sires to accept such a position it should
be awarded to him by a unanimous
vote. He has fairly earned it as one
prominent confederate commander who
was at the forefront of the firing line
both in Cuba and In the Philippine.
He could well have avoided military
service; his age and bis position would
have fully Justified him In not entering
the army In the Spanish war.
Oeneral Wheeler hd been long I
congress; eYtd a devoted constituency
that would have continued him Inde
finitely, hut his ambition was to prove
the In) ally of the confederate soldiers
1 1 the Union flag, and he was In no
sens-? sn ornamental soldier. He al
ways demanded to be sent to the front
and his record In both Cuba and the
Philippines Is quite as heroic as was
his record In our civil war. It would
! only justice to the number of con
federate officers who volunteered In th
Sj.arish war to recognise their pa
triotle devotion to a united country,
by honoring General Wheeler with re-
tlment in the army as a brigadier
g."neraL
Th only offense that General Wheel
er has committed atfnn his demo
cratic friends is his fidelity to the flag
and to the truth. He has told the
truth In every phase of the war o
which he has spoken, and he has slm
ply told the truth about the Philip
plr.es; but because it jars with the un
democratic anti-expansion policy of
he present democracy, he Is not only
severfly criticised by his old political
friends, but Is assailed and ostracised
because he has been, above all things.
patriot and a hero. Let Justice be
done to General Wheeler.
THE PUERTO RICAN BILL,
New Tork Tribune.
No doubt the Puerto Rican bill will
still be denounced as "taxation with
out representation." But territories
always have been taxed without rep-
resenlation, and the abuse for which
hat phrase somewhat inaccurately
stands as a symbol is merely the use
of the taxing power to place heavier
burdens on the unrepresented than on
the represented. The Puerto Rican
legislation is not subject to that re
proach. Congress taxes unrepresented
Puerto Rico just as It taxes the un
represented District of Columbia. It
is the local legislature for both. No
body else at the present time can leg
islate for Puerto Rico, and congress
levies a tax there for the uses of local
government Just as It may levy one
for policing -and paving the city of
Washington. The fact that the tax is
customs duty makes no difference.
Th octroi duties which prevail in
many cities vf Europe are nothing but
local customs duties levied on goods
passing Into them for the support of
ocal government There is nothing
strange in such a tax. It mav be wle
or unwise to raise revenue in that par
ticular way instead of from lands and
houses. So. too. it may be an open
iuestion whether direct taxes, or in
ternal revenue taxes set apart for
Puerto Rico, or low duties set apart in
the same way, would best furnish re
venue for the local needs of Puerto
Rico. The lawmaking power for Puer
to Rivti, which In this case is the con
gress of America, h&s thought tr.at
the duties would be fairest and mot
easily borne, paid, as they would be
in the first Instance, by the merchants
who would get the earliest retu-ns
from reviving trade, and who at pre
sent are better able to pay taxes than
the impoverished landowners. That
is a question fairly within its discre
tion. There might be some force in the
talk about oppression of unrepresented
Puerto Rico if congress were to levy
special and higher taxes on it than on
the hone territories for federal pur
poses. But It has done no such thing.
It levies no taxes on Puerto Rico for
federal purposes, and for local pur
poses levies a tax of which Americans
trading with Puerto Rico must bear
a share, instead of putting the while
burden on the island. If that is cp
pression of Puerto Rico, make the most
of It. In fact, it is uncommon gmer
osity, and nobody would dare question
It except in the confusion over the
novelty of a customs tarifT being levied
for purposes of local taxation, a eours
warranted in this case by the peculiar
conditions of the island, and fairly en
titled to a trial before being denounced.
It no more violates pledges given to
Puerto Rico than 'would the levying
by congress of a direct tax for building
a road in the island.
The substantial vote by whli h the
bill was passed is gratifying testimony
to the ability of the republicans in con
gress to face the problems of expansion
and act on them as actual situations
demand, undeterred by the misrepre
sentation of enemies or the qualms of
friends. They have not been driven
Into making a precedent which might
embarrass, as In the Philippines, but
have prepared the way to a needed
final settlement of the ccT.s'.JfjUonal

to prosperity and practicable means,
financial and administrative, for con
ducting the affairs of the island. Only
little time is needed to prove the
value of that work and silence slander
and calm fears. The sooner the act
of the senate can be followed by the
signature of the president and the be
ginning of the regeneration of Puerto

If a canal were constructed across
the isthmuii by the Nlcaraguan route
it is an interesting speculation bow
long It would probably last Professor
Heilprln. a leading authority In the
general field of geology, expresses some
disquieting doubts on this point In
a pap.r recently read before a promi
nent Eastern scientific society he dis
cusses the question of the permanency
of the proposed canal in a way that
challenges attention. In the first place
he points out that the Nicaragua route
is in a line of peculiar "crustal weak
ness," in which are a !arge number of
olcanies, some now active and some
active within a recent period, and that
this region has been in comparatively
retent years the scene of some of the
mt cataclysm! disturbances on rec-
rd There is no evidence, no reason
to believe that the volcanic activity of
the region Is extinct. Further, the geo
logical formation of the Pacific side of
he Isthmus gives evidence of recent
changes and there Is no certainty that
these changes are complete. There Is
son evidence that the surface of Lake
icaragua has fallen very materially
since it was firit observed, w 1th a con
tinued tend-ncy to depression. The
San Joan river Is kniwn to be shallow-
inc in parts and the sediment broueht
1o"n by Its grealest affluent makes Its
future very questionable. There are
other points of a similar character
derived from a comparison of a vast
number of surveys and reports and
raising questions which. Professor
Heilprin says, have not been sufficient
ly answered U justify confidence In
the permanence of the proposed canal.
He thinks It very doubtful whether,
hai the canal been actually construct
ed when it was first projected, it wuuld
be in existence now, so tremendously
destructive have been the volcanic dis
turbances in that reglon.
