A CENSUS TANGLE. B\' reason of the vast cost of the census of 1890, the many inaccuracies it contained, and thy long time required to digest it and publish a radical change will be niade in taking the census It will be simpler, and will not under- take to cover many of the points upon which efforts were made to obtain information in the forimer count. It appears, however, that in the eagerness to reduce the expense the process of simplification has been carried too far. Thus it is reported that no provi- | sion has been made for taking a separate census of the Indian population, and as a consequence the Cen- | sus Bureau has quite a perplexing little problem on ts hands. It 1s evident there should be an enumeration of the | Indians, for they are a part of the population, but, if {they are not to be treated and described in a sep arate report, how is the enumeration to be made An Indian tribe is in many respects a distinct na- |tionality. The members of it cannot be justly | counted as citizens of a State, and, moreover, the | reservations upon which they live are not legally parts of the State or Territoty which surrounds them. To add to the difficulty of the question it is | pressly provided in the constitution that: “Repre- sentatives shall be apportioned among the several States, according to their respective numbers, count- !ing the whole number of persons in each State, ex- cluding Indians not taxed.” That fastens upon the census officials the duty of enumerating Indians in some fashion, whether it be done separately or not. Out of that duty, moreover, comes the further | problem of determining what is meant by the phrase | “Indians untaxed.” The Indian, like every other per- son in the United States, is subject to internal rev- enue duties, and to the various stamp duties. Are | such duties to be counted as taxes? If they are, can the Indian who pays them be regarded as “untaxed” within the meaning of the constitution? A recent circular issued from the Census Office, in discussing the question, says: “Whether or not | stamp duty is a tax, and, if it is, whether it is a direct tax, whether ‘Indians not taxed’ means Indians not directly taxed, or whether it may not mean Indians | not taxable, are questions that must be decided by | the Census Office before it can form its plan for the Indian enumeration. The last question has been a subject of debate ever since Indian censuses have been of this year. ex- taken. In 1890 there were about 50,000 civilized In- | dians living among the general population of the United States. Such Indians are citizens of the United States, but many of them are too poor to pay taxes. Are they to be excluded from the population according to which representation in Congress is {apportioned? We count every Chinese and other alien of whatever sort or condition. Before the war we counted every negro slave as equivalent to three- | fifths of a white man. It seems manifestly absurd to believe that the framers of the constitution meant to | exclude a class of citizens who are also natives be- cause of their poverty. In other words, the framers of the constitution must have said what they did not mean. What they really meant was to exclude all Indians belonging to a class not subject to taxation.” It appears the officials have not yet decided the question, but the problem, fortunately, is more curious than important. In the end some way will | be found to enumerate the Indian population without mixing them with the citizens of States or Terri- tories. This census, in fact, promises to be much bet- ter than any which has been taken, and will be free from many of those troublesome features which were so objectionable in that of 189o. The actress who was arrested in New York a few days ago for an offense against public morals seems to think that her career of histrionic success began in the Tombs. o) a4 | TO SAVE THE BIG TREES. | b 6 from Washington of the passage by the House | of the resolution of Congressman de Vries ‘u\:xhorizing the Secretary of the Interior to open | negotiations for the purchase of the famous groye | of big trees in Calaveras. Early during the week the | measure will be called up in the Senate by Senator Perkins, and there is every assurance it will receive | there an attention not less prompt and favorable than |in the House. With the passage of the measure the redemption of the grove from the destruction which threatened is | virtually assured. It is not likely the Secretary of the Interior will delay in acting upon the authority given him, or that the lumberman of Duluth who | holds the bond upon the grove will interpose any serious obstacles in the way of the purchase. The big trees, which as a living grove are invaluable, would be of no great value when reduced to firewood, lumber, shakes and shingles. It will, therefore, be to the advantage of the owner to dispose of them to the Government, and no doubt he will gladly do so. | If, however, for any cause he should be foolish | enough to desire to destroy the grove, action will be taken by Congress to authorize the Government to institute condemnation proceedings to acquire the land. In the satisfaction felt over the prospect of pre- serving the grove the public should not neglect to give due credit to the energetic men and women of the State to whose public spirit and action the present good results are primarily due. Every notable work | performed in this way for the general good is a mat- ter for congratulation. It will encourage further ef- | forts for State improvements by co-operation and lead to many results hardly less important than the preservation of the wonderful trees. e — America has been assured that England will be more careful in future in seizing American merchant- men. It would hardly be idle to presume that the as- surance is prompted by anything more serious than ‘a generous respect for séme of our ships which are not merchantmen. | —_—_— The local Board of Health is crying out vainly for more money. It is unfortunate that the board cannot license some of its institutions to the uses of the crooks who receive such favorable consideration from certain of the city fathers. If Supervisor Tobin has done nothing else to justify his official existence he has at least given us a new theory of municipal finance. He has taught us that $100 a day is ample compensation to the city for the ruin of its youth. The Clark-Daly feud of Montana has at least one phase that is free from dispute. If Clark corruptly used money to get into the United States Senate Daly was equally free in the distribution of dishonest dol- lars to keep him out. The Japanese .of San Jose who sold his wife to a Chinese friend must have received his inspiration from the effort of the Eastern gamblers who wish to buy from San Francisco the exclusive privilege to de- bauch its citizens. s gl The employes of the Board of Supervisors who have found that his Honor the Mayor is the dic- tator in whose hands rest their tenure of office must have some curious notions of that civil service clause in the charter. The Chinese. it is said, are violently opposed to the introduction of railroads into their empire. They must have been studying some of the economic conditions of the Southern Pacific occupancy of California. resolute and | RATIFYING, indeed, is the announc:ment!

The vessel was launched in 1887 and has performed little | or no service during her ten years on the actlve list, and the record of boiler en- durance is probably the lowest in any navy. The First Lord of the Admiralty recent- 1y offered a brief explanation in Parlia- ment of the causes which have led to the practical failure of the Queen's yacht. Mr. Goshen explained that the weights had been underestimated and that Sir William ‘White, director of naval construction, ad- mitted that mistakes had been made, for which he (White) was at present unable to account. The German nation is evidently begin- ning to take a lively interest in naval af- fairs. The German Navy League had on January 15 last a membership of 101,546, of which 959 had joined since December 25, 1899. Affiliated with the league are a large number of naval clubs with a mem- bership of 152,976, making a grand total of 254,522 directly or indirectly members of the league. * The Shikishima fired her twelve-inc] turret guns with intervals of forty-five seconds between rounds.

All parts of the ship | are open for inspection and admiration, | and there is only one particular locality, that of the submerged torpedo room, | which by a common understanding is con- sidered terra incognito. Thus when the visttor in his tour of inspection comes to this particular room there is considerable | vexation in discovering that the door is | locked; the officer in charge of the visit- | ing party makes frantic efforts to find | man to whom the key has been intrusted, { but there is no record that he has ever ciously accepted, and the party wends its ‘way to either the cabin or wardroom to inspect and sample the small stores, the keys to which are always in their proper places, When the Japanese battiesh!p Shikishima was recently visited by British naval officers it was found that the maa with the key for the submerged torpedo room was not te be found, and the visit- ors departed with the conviction that the Japanese were apt pupils in modern war- fare and dissimulation.

There is an ordinance of this city which prohibits minors under the age of eighteen from being in places where billiards are played or to look on at games of cards. There is no law that prohibits the sale of cigars and tobacco to minors. SCRATCHING POSTS—W. F. O'D | City. There never was in Scotland a post | designated as ‘“‘scratching post.” The Duke of Argyle at one time had a number of tall mile posts erected, and a country- man once wishing to dislodge a flea that had settled between his shoulders, rubbed | against one of the posts, and exclaimed: “God bless the Duke of Arglye for putting up seratching posts,” and from that arose the statement that there were scratching posts in*Secotland. SIDE BONES—Subscriber, Santa Rosa, Cal. It is said that a sweating -blister composed of from one to one and a half drachms of binoldide of mercury to one ounce of lard, applied to the affected part, will cure side bones in horses. It must be well rubbed ir after cutting the hair close, and must be followed by the daily use of an arnica wash made of one ounce of tincture of arnica to from twelve to fifteen ounces of water and applied with a brush. ABBREVIATED DATE—J. L. M., Cres- cent City, Cal. A number of persons ab- breviate the date as follows: 2—-12—00; but the proper way to write it is 2—12— 1900, and then there cannot be any mis- understanding as to what is meant. If a written obligation to pay money was sued on in court and it should be dated “2—12— 00,” as the correspondent has written it. it would be held that the document is without date, as “00" is not a recognized abbreylation of a year. BNAILS—F. W, City. If your garden is infested with snails or slugs place a num- ber of inverted cabbage leaves night at the places where thev most abound. and in the morning you will find the pests on the inside of the leaves. It is then an easy matter to destroy them and replace new ives. If that will not do place a five-inch board g around the beds la the garden and occasiomally coat the same with a paste made of train oil and soot. It will form a barrier over which snalls not pass.
