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 the dinner pail will figure in Demo- .ratiecamoaiLMi soceches this year, Tl.v nr.. not so full of wind asthev 1 ' " were four years ago. 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.

We feel sor ry for our talented young friends that their political propensities are at variance with the belief ol the majority. This is a Republican year anil while these candidates arc amply ualtned to till tne positions, me re- the re- 1 publican platform will ie endorsed and the whole Republican ticket 'elected. 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, wm mil icau id suggestive uuttr-1 wiuuwi irau u suggestive uuor I .1... i ..
