TIII : I.A ii' wni , in : As was oxpoctcd , tbrj census lakers Ii portions of the country hnvo found tboi laslc a very dilll'iult one , and a few ol thfiii liavo found it also dangerous Tlio census bureau has boon advised o vlolcnco being mod in aovor.il cases to' ward enumerators , and thcro doubtlcs i hnvo boon many liifllancos of this kind nol yet reported at Wimhlngton , while the refusals lo answer queslion- are already very numerous. Thus far llio people of the west appear to have shown very much more respuct for tin law and the men employed in executing it than have the people of the call , This 1:4 : explained by the fact that a great ni'iny eastern newspapers liuva porslHtontly given llio people thp ill judged advice not to answer certain rjuestloaiH , on the grouud that congress had no right to ask for such information , while on the oilier hand Iho loading western newspapers have counseled Iho poole ] against disregarding the law and urged that the representa tives of the government In thi.s work be given courteous and roipcclful treat ment. The constant tirades of certain p'islorn journals against the law , and their appeal to the proplc to resent its donninds , have had the nutur.il and in- cvltablu olYuct , and the taking of the census in home curirtird has bet-omo a dangerous tusk , while the dilllculties at- ti-nding it have Iwen gro'itly increased. This in a sort of disloyalty which every good cili/on must condemn. It is the intention of thu superintend ent of the census to enforce tlio law , and it is announced that proceedings will bo instil uled at once against all porons who Jin vo rendered thumsulvcs liable to proscciitfon. Obviously this is the piopcr courao to pursue. It may im- | ) Oit ) a hereuli-an task upon the United Stales marshals and courts , but , if the law is allowed to bo violated with im punity the work of taking the cen sus may as well bo aban doned , for if it were once understood that tlio law would not be enforced the number of pursoiib dispoioil to disregard it would rapidly increase. There is really not a very general popular in terest in the work , ( t is doubtless true that 11 majority of the people look upon it as an altogether unnecensary and im pertinent proceeding , and could they b > > assured of hafety against punishment would refuse to have anything to do with it. it is to bo Vogrolled that this is so , because In order to obtain as nearly as possible an accurate and I rust worthy censuti the authorities must have the willing co-operation of Iho pee ple. Hut the fact that this hostile feel ing exists must bo recogni/.od , Indeed , Is rccogni/od , by the penal provision of tlio law , and the only way to deal with it Is hy a linn enforcement of the law , with the least possible delay. An example should promptly bo made of persons ivho refuse to answer questions , mil such as abuse or ill treat jiiumerators wbilo in the dis charge of their duty should bo sum marily dealt with. The census law went through the same coin-no as all other aws , with the advantage over most of Lliom of receiving the nearly unanimous vole of both branches of congress. It irovldes for an absolutely necessary work , so far as the enumeration of the [ lopulallon is conuerned. AH to some of Is demands , there may not bo count it u- .lonal authority for making them , but .his Is a question which cannot be deter- nlned by Tom , Dick and Harry , and mill it can be passed upon by the proper a-lhunal the plain duty of Iho census uilhorllios Is lo enforce the law and iromptly bring to punishment all who violate It. run IIINNHI > IX CAX.U , I'linjisrr. The action of the lioune of roprosonta- tvos in refusing to strikeout of the river UK ! harbor bill tlio appropriation of half i million dollars for beginning the con- itrucllon of a canal lo connect tlio Illinois mil Mississippi rivers , is a departure in Ivor and harbor legislation which may lot receive Iho approval of the suiiato. L'hero Is a const Itutional question In- , -olvod as to whether congress has .ho . authority to appropriate the inbllo money for the construction of mnals. This question was very fully llscussed in the house , and allhough llio icllon of that body must bo regarded an in expression of opinion Unit tliero Is no lonslltutlonal objection to legislation of liln character , il must bo confessed that , ho arguments against government canal iiilldliig as having no constitutional varranl are very cogent. Tlio producers of the woat are ntorostud in this project , which , f carried out , would altord thorn anther - ) thor outlet for their products and exert in Important inlluonuu upon transporta- , lou rates. It is not a newly conceived irojoct. For a number of years It has ogularly miido Us appearance In con- ; roH8 , and during this tlmo It has ro- olvod extended and hearty ondorsomont. L'ho coiumlttoo on mllwiiyd and canals of , ho house reported In favor of It In 187-1 , laying that it would bonollt directly and novltably the btatos of Iowa , WlBconaln md Mluuoaotu , and indirectly affect all the HlatiM Ijliirf wntof th so , whos railroad llius would bring product.'doui to lw HhliK'd ) | by Iho rlvor and canal The same cotnmlttoo of the Forly-olght ] and forty-ninth congres os * maile favorn bio roHirtH upon the project. The legIslature Islaturo of Iowa him repeatedly pawci resolution.s apiirovlng the projec and requesting the reproocntatlvc of tlio Htato In congress to ui port It. Other states have done tin same , and the propjaud improvomen ha been indorsed by numerous water way conventions , by the national bean of trade , by a largo nnmbor of com mcrctal organl/.allon.s , and other bodic' entlllod to respectful consideration. I Is fairly claimed on behalf of this pro ject that it has received moro Indorse mentH than any other waterway on tin continent of America , and tin arguments showing the grea advantages that would result from It an voluminous and convincing. It canno ho doubted that the nroposnd canal , Ii opening up a continuous short w.ilui way from the Mississippi river to tin Atlantic ocean , would be a most Import ant f.iclor in the transportation of tin country , greatly to the advantage o the producers of the west. And tin cost of Its construction , It is estimated would not exceed six million dollars. The only serious objection t < bo urged against the projec Is the constilutlonal one , and it must b < confessed there appears lobo Hululmitia' . ground for this. The constitution Is plaii enough in the aulhorily it gives congress gross to provide for Iho improvement ol the rivers nnd harbors of the country bul it 13 questionable whether congress can appropriatu the public money for the construction of artificial waterways , ovei though Ihey would t-orvo a national ad vantage. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TIIK Honato has decided to investigate the management of Iho llsh commission- or'd olllco. From what has boon stated regarding tlio practices in tlio olllco , which is not responsible to any depart- muni of the government , there would seem to bo most substantial reasons fora searching inquiry. Tlio most soriou' fact reported is that the ofllco is a veritable nest of nepotism , members of tlio family of one of the commissioners employed drawing collectively In "salaries thirty- one thousand dollars a year , while an other commissioner and members of his- family draw moro than half tli.U amount. Doubtless the work Is prop erly performed , but nepotism in the public horvico IH an olTense which cannot be excused by the character of the her- vice rendered , however high , and it has been carried to an unprecedented extent in the ollico of the fish commissioners. There has been no charge that the service - vice has not been honestly managed , but it makes a largo demand annually upon the national treasury , and under the eir- oun'islances it is entirely proper that congress .should make the proposed in- vesligalion. Sui'iuiNTi.viiNT : : : COOTS' final report on the now hospital furnishes another costly chapter to the history of that mon umental job. Urlolly the report shows that tlio original contract price was one hundred and twenty thousand eight hun dred and clghty-Jivo dollars. To this was added seventy-eight hundred dollars worth of extras. Tlio county has already paid out ono hundred and four thousand six hundred and fourteen dollars , leav ing an apparent balance of Iwon- ty-thrco thousand two hundred and Boventy-ono dollars duo the contractors. The report touches gingerly on Iho nolorous grading job , by which the contractors secured nineteen thousand two hundred and eighty-one dollars for work which could have been done at a profit for one-third of the hum. Hut the total lack of business methods in the county boftYd enabled the contractors to rape the treasury at the Inception of the job and lleeco Iho taxpayers , prac tically destroying all evidence of their trickery. Instead of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars , tliu roolcory will cost tlio people at least one hundred and forty-seven thousand dollars. And for this vast sum tlio county has secured a wretchedly constructed building that will remain a monumental disgrace to the county. TIIK opinion of Attorney General Miller on the scope and oll'eot of the ir rigation act of 1SH3 is of great impor tance to the arid region of the west. The act is declared lo bo a sweeping reservation of all arid lands susceptible of cultivation by irrigation. Its object was "to prevent entry , sultlomentor sale of all that part of the arid region of tlio public lands of the United Htalos which uould bo improved by general systems of irrigation , and of all land which might thereafter bo designated or selected by the United States surveys iw sites for reservoirs , canals or ditches of such systems. " J'ho oll'ect of this construction will bo to withdraw from entry or sale ill arid lands until congress acts on one : > r more of the pending Irrigation bills , : modllles the act of 18SS. Wlillo the withdrawal of these lands will tem porarily chock prlvato investment in irrigation o inals , It wlllovontually prove lenellclal to the country. It will pro- rent monopolies of water rights and on- iblo congress to devise a broad and Iboral system of laws regulating the USD if mountain streams , tlio proper locution if reservoirs and delormlno Iho area .rilmtary lo eaoli stream. Such laws are ihseiillal to the permanent welfare of ho arid states and territories. Till : demonstrations of the Phitadol- ihla workingmen against the MclClnluy > ill are slgnlllcant. Coming from the ihluf city of a stale which lias prollled nore than any other from protection , i ml whoso Industries have long since Kinged from infancy to mammoth pro- torllons , they omphasi/o the fact that eduction rather than lnorea.su of tariff axes Is essential to continued proij > jr- 13' .

OKKOON responded nobly to the desires sires of the republican party. The ox peeled off year Indifference failed to inn tcrlallxe and the stale rolled up majori ties equal to the presidential vote ol 188S. Congressman Herman's majorllj exceeds that of two years ago by ovet ono thousand votes. On the state lickol however , thu voters rebelled against an unpopular candidate for governor and elected tlio democratic nominee. Ol Iho whole ( hi- result is a cheerful cvl donee of republican ncttvily in thu north west. For an oil year Oregon has doiu splendidly. Tin : washouts and cave-Ins on pavoc streets , can-cd by the recent storms , wil make a serious haul oti Iho city Ireasurj for repairs. This Is tlio natural resiili of the haste which has usually charac leri/.cd public Improvements. Pave mentH have been laid on newly gradcc streets , over fresli fills before the earll was properly bottled , and over gas , .sowet and water trenches carelessly packed , Repeated warnings wore unheeded ant now the city will bo compelled to paj thousands of dollars for ropaii-s. TIIK annual report of tlio Rock Island railroad shows net earnings amounting to a fraction over five million dollar * and a substantial incroa.so over the pre ceding year. A company which earns six per cent on inflated stock and bonded debt is inn fairly prosperous condition. But it should bo borne in mind , that the Koek Island does not maintain an ex tensive pqlitical department. Tnniti : was a big hen on about Birk- hauser in the postollico yesterday and there is a big hen on In the combine generally , but their threats "to fix Rosowtitor" will hardly inlimidale any body.

Tin : section of the city which the Tenth streol viaduct will benefit mosl kicks the loudest against paying a share of the damage lax. On Iho north side , which is assessed pretty liberally , no pro test has been worked up by the lawyers looking for a job. The attempt to shirk Iho tax and shoulder it on the city at largo is discreditable. N < w that the date of the htato con vention has been fixed , it behooves re publicans to participate actively in the primaries and elect delegates who will faithfully represent tholr wishes. Self- seekers and tricksters should bo forced to the rear , and tried and true men fao- Iccled as delegates.
