It is not a good thing to manipulate foreign policy for the sake of influenc ing domestic politics, and the present ad ministration, at least, has not done it. It is an Infamous thing to try to em barrass the foreign policy of the gov ernment for the sake of Influencing domestic politics, and that ts just what a lot of the opponents of the admin istration are now doing. The effort to make a scandal out of the allowance to army officers In Cu ba from the Cuban revenues has fallen flat. The president, through the sec retary of war, has frankly sent to the senate all the facta asked for. It ap pears that up to the first day of April a total of 117,441.66 has been allowed to army officers for the extra expense they are under In their administrative work In Cuba, and these only to of ficers holding four positions, those of governor general of Cuba, of governor of Hawaii, of governor of Havana, and of treasurer of Cuba. The allowances were made by Secretary Alger, and are Justified by the fact that similar allowances were made, with the appro val of congress, to officers engaged In the civil administration of Mexico and California In 1S49 and 1S33, respective ly. It may be argued that congres sional authority Is necessary for the Cuban allowances, but under Senator Platfs constitutional construction, this is not necessary, as Cuba Is foreign ter rltory under the president's military control It would not appear, then as if the enemies of the McKinley ad ministration could make any capital out of this Cuban business. Other issues are too important for the peo ple to worry about such picayune busl ness. Those who are always express ing fear that the president may usurp too great authority to the danger of the republic think the contention of the president's exclusive power In Cu ba should be challenged, but that 13 all there really is In the allowance business. It may be, however, that there has not ben sufficient care in auditing Cuban expenses, but that ouId seem to be something for which the administration must answer to the people and not to congress. oovernor Merriam, director of the census, has Just issued Instructions to census enumerators covering every de tall of th. ir work. It Is Important for the people generally to know what are the rlffhn of enumerators, and for that purpose mey may De summarized as follows: They have, under the ceneus Lum When your throat and lungs are perfectly hcalihy you needn't worry stout the germs of consumption.

They may put every 'question contained In the census schedule and obtain ans wers to each and every one of thorn. They ore cautioned not to obtrude needlessly upon any person, and. It Is staled by Director Morrlam, that It is of the utmost Importance that the enumerator' manner should, In all circumstance-, do courteous and con dilatory. Should objection be made to answering any question, a note Is to be made of the same' and the fact reported to the supervisor for the dis trict in which the enumerator is em ployed. Enumerators are instructed no", to accept any statement they believe to be false and not to communicate to any person any information obtain ed in their official work. In canvassing a district no enumerator Is to omit any dwelling establishment or re donee, not to enter upon the schedule of population the name of any fled tious person or persons, and for a wit ful falsification of the returns a fine, not to exceed five thousand dollars and Imprisonment not exceeding two years may result. No enumerator In his official work can act as canvasser for newspapers, magazines or for the sale of any articles, nor can they delegate their authority to any other person. They are to devote at least ten hours a day to their work. Sun days excluded. They are not to lose time or m jney In their canvass and on tntering a house to transact their bus iness quickly and leave. The work Is all to be performed under the direction and control of the district supervisors. who have authority to discharge enu merators for negligence. Inefficiency, incompetence or any misconduct. In terpreters are not to be used unless absolutely necessary. Enumerators get four dollars a day. Enumerators are given particular instrucUons as to the filling of their schedules, as to what constitute residents, mechanics, farmers, etc. Especial attention la to be given to mortality schedules, care being taken to ascertain cause of death, age and occupation of deceased. Judging from the pains that have been taken to make the census which Is to be taken in a little less than a month accurate, it should be the best yet recorded In our history. THE CASE OF GOVERNOR TAYLOR St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Few men in political history have been subjected to as hard an ordeal as Governor Taylor. of Kentucky. Through no fault of his own he has been hounded for months by a venom ous party conspiracy. A native of Kentucky, a representative citizen al- way3, the father af a large family, an i i . . i , . industrious man in quite moderate cir- cumstances, he was called by his fel- quarantine fetation, Astoria, Ore , . son. In accordance with drawings and low republicans to head the ticket at specifications, copies of which may be the election last November. It was known that his opponent for governor, the champion of an unfair election law. would be the first to grasp its base ad vantages. In the election every county board was in the hands of Goebel, the author of that law, and the state elec tion board was of his party. In spite of this partisan trickery, that must have added many thousands of votes to the Goebel showing, Taylor came out of the contest with a plurality. The state election board, composed of dem- ocrtas, confirmed it, and Taylor was In- f. S. bonds 'to secure clrcula au?urated on the day legally named for L tlo,n , i that purpose. In the Goebel law is included the I procedure by the legislature"ln case of contest." No definition Is made of grounds to contest The senate and house combined appoint a Joint board numbering eleven members, the names to bo drawn out of a box in a manner prescribed by the law. The board of content in this case as it came out of the box consisted of ten democrats and one republican, a singular dlspropor- tlon when the true ratio was not far from six to five. While this board was going through the motions of an in vestigatlon, evL-ry step of which was prearranged, and whose reault, regard less of Ihe evidence, was absolutely certain, the murder of Goebel occurred. To this day there Is nothing known as to the Identity f the murderer. The political associates of. Goebel prevented an inquest. Their whole effort has been to charge the murder upon the republican state officials and through tnc-m upon the republican party of Kentucky. They sent out of the state or legal help of evil reputation, after providing a corruption fund of 1100,000. From this witches' caldron they fished witness who played the role of a fellow-conspirator against Goebel, and on the strength of -whoso unsupported word a state officer and other repub licans are kept In prison without ball, WASHING FEATHER PILLOWS Fwrtitt Fllfowa mtti wuMnt one i fttt, ChooM i kriiht, tunar dt: till Iri too hlt Mlo ttrttutli ilmotl kolllu btj dlwelrs aeuh Gold Dust Wisiing Powder la ll to mtU t rood sud; put oat Of twa pillow la, cnordlnf to !, pmh thcra up lad dv tad rub thm httwtca tht htadt aoiil clcta.

These- Goebellios, instead of seui'h Ing for the murderer, are playing a game of partisan politics and personal revenge. They set out to build up the semblance of a theary that Governor Taylor conspired to kill Goebel and to have the shot flrwl by an assassin con waled In the official building the gov ernor occupied. In all the annals of assassination there Is no charge like this. A plotter of murder from ambush would lie an Idiot to arrange for Its consummation from his own windows. Goobers bl; ter .-st enemies were In his own party, and the shot, judged from personal feuds, could not, without di rect testimony, be attributed to polll kal animus. If the bullet came from the executive building, a point no: proved. It Is reasonable to suppose that It was fired by some one who secreted hlmstlf there to throw suspicion on the wrong track. Such Is the Invariable custom of stealthy murderers unless of the mentally unbalanced class. Gov ernor Taylor has been Infamously per secuted ever since last November. His life hns been In danger day and night for weeks. He has been continuously racked In mind and body by the Goebel gang of wolves for the crime of getting more votes than Goebel received. This Is the extent of his offense, and the Vmerlcan people, knowing it, give him their profound sympathy. FRED WICKMAN INDEPENDENT CAN DID.iTk KOK SHERIFF FRANK .
