Some of the Kentucky hraix
harmony ha? slopped over into Ten
nessee. The Republican party in
Tennessee is split into factions.
The question of expansion is not
pending now. We have already
expanded, and it is now only a ques
tion ol retention or contraction.
If the"UuBpeakable Turk" should
fail to pay up, Uncle Sam will "take
it poke" at him that will make him
say "ouch" and speak up quick.
Recent events in Kentucky lead
to the conclusion that there will lie
an extra hot time in Hades every
time Kentucky day mes round.
The Democratic notary has sue
(1111111 in getting Dewey's oath that
he will support the Kansas t uy
nominee, lias Bryan been sworn
vet ?
Dewey's democracy should be I
branded so the country would know
whether it is the Jeftersonian, .lack
soman, Bryanian or the McLeanian
kind.
Since 1883 the country has spent
over 9160,000,000 on the new navy,
and those two little jobs at Manila
and Santiago amply repaid all that
expenditure.
There is not much likelihood that

In all his speeches since 1896
Bryan has never said anything the
people remembered like the "cross
of gold" and every Democrat is sor
rv now fhat he said that.
Thirtv-one locomotives and ten
ders were shipped to Russia from
Philadelphia last week. The con
quests of Uncle Sam in peace are
fully as glorious as those in war.
Even live stock is benefitted by
Republican prosjrcrity. The value
ol livestock on farm Feb. 1 was
12,558,000,000 an increase of $698,
000,000 over the same date of 1895.

Five years ago, when Joe Leaker
was the chairman of the Democratic
party of Snyder county, he was read
out of the party thrusting upon him
all the yilest epithets the English
language could supply. Since that

lican candidate for State Senator, he

CENSUS QUERIES.
The blank schedules to be used
in the next census are now being
distributed by the( ensus Office to
the enumerators, who will start to
work .in June I. The schedules
contain questions which some per
sons may think prying, purposeless,
or excessive in number. Bui their
umber and character have beeu de
termined by Congress, not by the
Census Office, and all ot them have
been asked in previous censuses,
The only important change since
1890 is that some questions have
been abandoned.
People are often oflended at the
luestion, "How old are you? " and
ire apt to wonder what use the Gov
ernment can make of their replies.
Taken as a whole the replies are as
important as any class ot informa
tion the Census Office collects. Age
returns penetrate and elucidate ev
ery other branch of statistical know
ledge. They show where child labor
is prevalent, and where the propor
tion of persons able to support them
selves is large or small. They re
veal the great number of colored
children and the short life of the
negroes under present conditions.
They make it possihle to ascertain
whether the average lengt h of life is
increasing or decreasing, how many
men the nation contains who are
capable of voting or of liearingams, I
and whether the relative number of j
children is increasing or decreasing,
In Mohammedan orsemi-oivilired
countries like India householders are i
often unwilling to answer the ones-
tion regarding the sex of persons in j
the house, but in civilised countries
where the sexes arc regarded as on ;
an equality, such unwillingness does
not apnea r. The answers to the
questions show that in nearly all
cities the females outnumber the
males and that the same is true of
most of the states along the Atlantic
coast. The belief is widespread that
biking the world in general there
are more females alive at any given
"me than males, and tliat it it were
not for immigration there would be
more females in the United States
1 1 1 : 1 1 1 mules. Hut census statistics
show that we cannot explain the I May 1 K, at Port Treverton, Sarah
great excess of males (over one and Brubaker, aged about 40 years, ln
a half million) in the United StaU-s ferment Sunday,
by immigration alone, for when the I Sarah Brubaker oi Union twp.
j the foreign-born are left out of ao'
count, there are still above 600,0001
more males than females.
Few would dispute the necessity ;
for asking questions regarding race, i
All arguments regarding the future
of any jmrticular race in this coun
try, like the Indian, the negro, or
the Chinaman, must hinge upon the
returns in the census. With the
Indians, moreover, it is of the high
est importance to learn what success
the policy of the Government has
met with in establishing them apart
from their tribes and reservations,
and whether such Indians are in-
creasing or decreasing.
a , , ,,
Some mothers may shrink from
i stating the iiuiiiber of children they
havt' had 11,1(1 tlu' number who arc
living. But from the answers to
k
these questions, the country will
learn whether the native American
1 population w liultling its own, or
wuciner, us some nave eiuiuicu, 11 in
j being gradually supplanted and dis-
iP1"" the children of recent iai
; migrams.
In the light of such explanations,
and only a few of the most import
ant questions have been touched up
on, it may jierhaps be clear to the
public that no question has been or
dered by Congress, or has been ask
properly and correctly answered,
