On this subject the conservative
Philadelphia I.edcei is moved to pa :
"People Intelligent enough to know
thU tho sroverument 'must bo sup
ported, and that It Is one of tho (list
duties of citizens to support It, do not
objectto tho duties ImpoSw-d upon Im
ported' art Ichs, but they do, and prop
in ly, object to the mles luld down for
the collecting of tho Imposta. They ob
ject, and properlj, to be openly treated

ject to mnkliiRswoin statements vvhldi
tho inspectors de'clnro they believe
falso by subsequently making rigorous
examinations, They object, espclally
io,llned women, to huvlns every article
of their clothing nnndied and Inspected
before their ueu by the government's
employes on an open dock in the pres
ence of scores of hundreds of uuiious
onloolecis. Tho whole system provid
ing for the collection of duties on pas
setigets' luggage Is ns discreditable to
the government as it Is annolng nnd
distressing to tho lctims of It." The
AVatlilngton Post with more abandon
adds: "We can imagine a monkey like
Agulnaklo Instituting such nonsense for
the purpose of plajlng tricks upon the
traveling public nnd simultaneously
feeding his appetite for implike antics.
To learn that it la a solemn edict of
tho United States Treasury depart
ment, Is to know the possibilities' ot a
blush. An thing more exasperating,
and wantonly nnd fiultlessly distress
ing to every one It touches, has not
et ben conceived or put Into execu
tion by am civilized government."
The olllclals of the treasmy depart
ment say the newspapers are exagger

Tho Next Census.
Kepiesentatlve Hopkins, ot Illinois
has Intiodueed and tho house has
passed a bill in relation to the
ii xt decennial census which possesses
mult It limits the scope of the cen
sus iniiulij to facts of chief Import
am e and i (.quires? that the report shall
be completed nnd published before Jan.
1, linn. Nine oars and four months
intervened before the tenth census was
published, and eight eals and thiee
months bofoie the completion ot the
eleventh census. Information under
this slow proiess becomes obsolete ijng
befoic It reaches the eye of the public.
The Ilooklns bill futther provides
that the next cennus shall be a fed
eral depaitment In Itstlf, accountable
dlrectlv to the president, and adds the
selection of enumerators to the patron
age of membcis of congress. This lat
ter piovlslon will excite the lesentment
and opposition of the civil service ie
foi mors, but It Is probably the only
feasible way to organize a temporaty
census within the specified limit as to
time. What tho country needs is n per
manent census organized on scientific
lines, haviiiK no connection with poli
tics of the paitlsar1 variety and able to
repoit salient facte as to population
and commerce, not once In ten jcars
merely, but eveij ear, if necessaiy.
Joseph Dunlop, the founer publisher
of the Chicago Despatch, ha Just 1mm n
leleasea from Jollet prison, when 1
has been lonllned dining the : .
twenty-one months. Dunlop's casi Is
an lmpresslvj lesson of the dlsastious '
results that sometimes follow an abu.o
of the power of the press As editor and
publisher of the Despatch, an afta
noon paper which gained great popu
laritv in Chicago, Dunlop appears to
have been imbued with the idea, which
has often beer, cherished right hoie In
Scianton, that there Is now law that
can touch the editor of a newspapn'.
He openly defied tho law and liUEhed
at those who thieatened to lead him lo
Justice When finally brought to bay
he made a stubborn fight by the aid of
tli- most leal nod counsel, but was at
Iabt convicted and sent to the peniten
tlaiy. During his Incaiceratlon the
Despatch misted Into other hands and
it is said that ho will be obliged to en
gaije in atiolliet legal fight to letfalu
his propel ty. Dunlop's expeiit'iid. is
one which pioves conclusively that the
mis-application of gvnlus is almost
leitain to be followed by unpleasant
eon.'t fcuences
Tho leglslatuip of Noith Carolina

THE DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE
From tho Allinta Constitution.
A drummer lost his way in a sotitlnvest
Ccoigla county whero there was a good
deal of religious cnthusltsm at thnt tlmo.
So ho Just gave his horse idu and mntlo
the best ot it. Pnsintlv lie was con
fronted by n signboard, nailed to a pine
tice at tho forks of a load. Tho sign
rcid:
"Turn slnrer, tin n' '
Tho drummci followed Its ndvlco and
turned on the road nearest the sign. A
little further on ho was confronted by
another sign:
"You nro on youi wav to hell!''
That was rough, but, like many nnothcr
man, he kept on. Yet one more slgnbo.'d
faced him:
"Sinner, you nro lost forever!"
"God help us!" cried tho drummer,
"between nil these signs what's a poor
lost devil to do''"
"Git right down on ver knees," cried a
volco from tho bushes, "an' crv for
mercy! Down with you, an' holler ter
grace'"
That was too much for him. and, put
ling spurs to his horse, he fled like tho
wind, nor did he stop until ho l cached a
railroad whero he signaled a freight
tnln and shook the dust of that ghostly
neighborhood from Ills shoes.

The advertisement canvasser for a St. Louis daily paper faayb
Ripans Tabules : "Ever since 1 can lememberl have been trouble
with constipation in its severest form. So acute, in fact, at times, a
to produce dreadful headaches that, notwithstanding all the outdorr
work afforded me by my vocation, and the latitude it allowed me to
test my pedestrian abilities which is buppostd to be a successful
manner of displacing constipation I was very often compelled to
forego my pursuit of 'business.' Constipation with me seemed to
be hereditary rather than due to accidental causes, therefore much
harder to relieve. In my extremity I often resortetl to most drastic
measures, but found no cure to be permanent. In 1892, while con
nected with the Times of El Paso, Tex., Ripans Tabules were brought
to ray notice, and I used them with marked success. Nowadays I
never suffer from such severe cases of constipation, and the violent
headaches I formerly experienced never worry me in the least. Some
times, though, when I allow myself to lapse for a period into irreg
ular habits, I become slightly constipated, but by taking the Tabules
according to directions, my bowels again perforin their functions in a
highly pleasing manner." "
