The census is coming in two months and it will bring an opportunity to the Afro-American which he should not lose. The census taker will be around some time in June, carrying a long, thin book in which the questions are printed, and bearing on his vest a small silver shield which contains an eagle and the words "United States Census, 1900." This badge does not entitle him to take money or to ask any questions about your taxes, your debts, your politics, or your religion. But it does authorize him to ask a few harmless questions about yourself and your property. The census taker will want to know your name and whether you are the head of the family or some relation of the head. He will ask whether you are single or married, or widowed, in what state you and your parents were born, and what kind of work you do. In order to show how industrious the people are he will ask how many months you worked during the last year and whether you own your home or not. In order to show how intelligent the people are he will ask whether you can read or write. In order to show the wealth of the Afro-American people he will ask a few questions about the value of your home and farm, the number of mules, chickens, geese; pigs, cows, that you own, and how much these animals are worth. Besides these facts he will take down the value of the grain, cotton, garden truck, fowl, eggs that you raised last year. If you ate all the chickens you raised, or used all the wheat you grew, you are to count the value of these also, just as if they were sold for money. The Afro-American should think these questions over and be prepared to answer them properly, first because the law requires them to be answered; secondly, because they are asked of everybody, rich or poor, black or white; thirdly, because the Afro-Americans do not tell what they have raised and what they possess, the race will not make the showing it deserves to make among the races represented in the United States. It is said that the fusion organization has during the past twelve months bought or established over 40 newspapers for the dissemination of the gospel of "reform" in the campaign of 1900. It takes money to buy or establish a newspaper, and the public has been given to understand that the fusion party was composed of the "pore" people. Where does the money come from? Has the advance agent of prosperity met the advance agent of the reform press bureau and dropped a dollar-marked package for the distribution among the merry quill drivers of the Populist persuasion? Whatever be the answer to the question the fact remains that the fusion organization is building up a large circulation of its subsidized press, and it takes a little money to subsidize even a Populist newspaper. At Alton, Ill., the jury in the case of Scott Bibb vs. the mayor and city council of Alton, known as the school case, brought in a verdict Monday for the city. The case is a celebrated one and involves the question of separate schools for white and Afro-American children. Bibb, who represented the Afro-American citizens of Alton, charged that the Afro-American children were excluded from the public schools. This is the third time the case has been tried in the circuit court. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court. Those who contemplate attending the World's Fair at Paris should bear in mind that Parisian hotels of the $3-a-day class, it is understood, will raise prices to $9 a day after April 1, and even the price of seats at theaters will be tripled at the same time. People who "ran boarding houses" or places of amusement in Chicago during the World's Fair will take off their hats in awe-stricken admiration of the Frenchmen's enterprise. The outstanding 2 per cent currency option bonds of the United States have recently been quoted at 103. The 2 per cent thirty-year gold bonds, which will be issued under the new currency bill, it is expected will sell at 105. These high prices are complimentary to the stability of the financial system of the country, which has brought an increase of 33 per cent in our money in circulation in less than four years. At Pittsburg, Pa., the case of Assistant District Attorney Walter E. Billows, Afro-American, against William J. McCarthy, a prominent restaurant keeper, who refused to serve a meal to Billows and his companion, Congressman George W. White, of North Carolina, also Afro-American, returned a verdict today in favor of the plaintiff for 6¼ cents. Billows asked $5,000 damages. A table printed by Bradstreet's shows that 3,553 New York business houses, which had on their pay-rolls 299,967 employees in 1896, have increased the numbers to $56,278, while the increase in wages in 1899 as compared with 1896 was over $20,000,000. More naval officers and more ships of war are recommended by the Secretary of the Navy and Admiral Dewey. And the record which these men made in the hour of the country's emergency quite justifies the country in agreeing with them. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

A Town's Refuse Provide Its Light, and Baths. Shoreditch, one of London's slums, has a "destructor" of which it is exceedingly proud, and with good reason. The Shoreditch destructor burns all the household refuse of that slum and, not content with that, burns all the refuse of several nearby districts. Its capacity is fifty-five tons per day, and it does its work work- fully. A correspondent of the Spring- field (Mass) Republican, who has visited the town, describes that it is usually entertaining description of its operations, from which these details are taken. Durning the refuse is not the only function of the destructor. It has turned that refuse into electric light and a portion of the garbage can is used to wash the baths for a short distraction in London. A private corporation offered to light Shoreditch at 14 cents a unit, or what, the rest of London is paying, but Shoreditch gets its light out of absolute waste for 8 cents a unit. BILL. can be had anywhere else and only a fraction above what gas costs. The vestry clerk of Shoreditch says: "As our consumers multiply our rate for灯水 is less than it is for gas, the illuminate instead of the parish of Shoreditch we could afford to come fairly near to giving light away." The destructor does its lighting work at night, but it is not idle by day. It supplies a bathhouse with two great swimming baths and four sets of private baths with hot water, heats the building and runs a washhouse, including a laundry room. It also uses the large compartments, mechanical wringers and large ironing rooms, where the Shoreditch woman for 6 pence can do her entire week's washing. It also heats the new library and technical institute. It has further made it possible to raze many of the filthy cements of the slums in their rooms, and made room for the needy with rooms at $1.50 a week, lighted with electricity. The benevolent and practical destructor is not only doing all this, but it is doing it at a profit, and the slums of Shoreditch are beginning to attract attention not only in England, but all over the world where there are dirty cities to be cleaned and slums to be civilized. The vestry of Robbinson to whose energy Shoreditch is its firm instructor, is naturally proud of its results. In an interview with the Republican's correspondent he says: "The thing is a success. It is paying, that's the main thing. And our people are beginning to take an interest in it; that's a great thing. We're employing 160 of them. We're teaching our poor to be clean, and we're giving to them mental advantages as well. Our model dwellings, our streets and our little shops are lighted inexpensively by electricity, in three big electric lights down there. In three big electric lights where many murders were committed. We're realizing our first motto: 'More light, more power!'" Chicago is dirtier than Shoreditch. If Shoreditch can be kept clean, why cannot Chicago? If a destructor will work in Shoreditch, consume the refuse and heat, would it fight the heat and heat, would not a destructor do the same here?-Chicago Tribune. Thought They Were Invited. "How did you gather such a large congregation, the old people in the middle-of-the street," asked the young minister of the one he "advertised a sermon to the young," was More than 400,000 acres of land are still open to homesteading or pre-emption in Missoula.

ADAMS Republicans made a clean sweep with their South town ticket on the anti-slavery grab platform, electing their candidates by pluralities ranging from 49 to 51 percent, a little less than 1,000 for High assessor. The town voters marked up a ringing protest against salary-grab by changing last year's Democratic plurality of 9,635 for assessor to 9,615. The Republican 1899 vote for assessor was: Nickerson, Rep, 15,979; Stuckart, Dem, 25,344. The Democratic wards—1st, 5th and 6th—show a big drop in the vote of that party compared with last year, when Democrats gained in their strongholds in the 2d, 3d, 4th and 28th wards. For the collectorship a more striking gain was recorded by the Republicans than for assessor. Last year, Democratic plurality wins, of their nect was turned into a Republican plurality of 2,302 for Fuller. Shannon, Democratic supervisor, who retires to private life, polled 4,127 more votes in 1996 than his Republican opponent, but the voters showed their disapproval of salary-grabbing methods by wiping that plurality off the slate and making the figures yesterday read 2,529 plurality on the Republican side.
