CENSUS -QUESTIONS. .The blank schedules to be used in the next census are now being dis tributed by the census office to the enumerators, who will start to work on Junfe l.v /The schedules contain questions which some persons may think prying, purposeless, or excessive in number. But their number and character have been determined by congress, not by the census office, and all ot them have been asked in pre •vitfUs censuses' The only important •change since 1890 is that some ques tions have been abandoned. People are often offended, at the •question, "How old are you?" and are apt to wonder what use the govern ment can make of their replies. Taken as a whole the replies are as import ant as any information the census' office collects. Age returns penetrate and elucidate every other branch of statistical knowledge. They show where child labor is prevalent, and where the proportion of persons able to support themselves is large or small. They reveal the great num ber of colored children and the short 3ife of the negroes under present con ditions. They make it possible to as certain whether the average length of life is increasing or decreasing, how .many men the nation contains who are capable of voting or of bearing Itrms, and whether the relative num ber of children is increasing or de creasfry^ In Mohammedan or semi-civilized countries like India householders are o£ten unwiQing to answer the question, regarding the sex of persons in the 1MPLES ritlvdNTEO BY "ItwmeiasffoetfTsakiBporifyinjmWIljeai* veil Mpnraot and tirertert, far toilet, bath, and Btmery.

I The answers to the question* show that in nearly all cities the fe males ^outnumber the males and that the safeie is true of most of the states along the Atlantic coast. The belief is widespread that taking the world in general there are more females alive at any given time than males, and that if it were not for immigration there would be more females in the United States than males. But census statis tics show that we can not explain the great excess of mails (over one and a half million) in the United States by immigration alone, for when the foreign-born are *ert out of account, there are still above 000,000 more males than females. Few would dispute the necessity for asking questions regarding race. All arguments regarding the future of any particular race in this country, like the Indian, the negro, or the China man, must hinge upon the returns in the census. With the Indians, more over, it is of the highest importance to learn what success uie policy of the government has met with in establish ing them apart from their tribes and reservations, and whether such In dians are increasing or decreasing. Some mothers may shrink from stat ing the number of children they have had and the number who are living. But from the answers to these ques tions, the country will learn whether the native American population is holding its own, or whether, as some have claimed, it is being gradually sup planted and displaced by the children of recent immigrants. In the light of such explanatio and only a few of the most importai questions have been touched upon, it may perhaps be clear to the public that no question has been ordered by congress, or has been asked by the census office which, if properly and correstly answered, will not lead to suggestive inferences regarding the American people and their work. Already the unwarranted assump tion of power on the part of the dis trict republican committee in the Fourth district has been defied. The district committee specified in the call that delegates to the judicial conven tion should be elected by the various counties at a time when no other bus iness was to be transacted. Richland county has disregarded this injunction and calls a convention to select dele gates to Grand Forks, to the judicial convention and to nominate county officers—all at the same time—which they will hold they have a perfect right to do—which will be contrary to the wishes of Judge Lauder—it is said —and what's to be done about it? Congressman Heatwole of Minne sota has introduced a bill in congress to prohibit the government from printing return, requests on envel opes. As the present policy deprives the printers of the, country of a great amount of printing the ineasure has the support of publishers generally, and is likely to pass. There is no more reason for the government to print these return requests than to print business letter headings—and what a howl there would* be if the government should engage the printing businSs to that Extent, The seventh annual commencement of the Columbian University, Wash ington, D. C., occurs at this time (May 27th to 30th). Several North Dakota boys have graduated from the law de partment of this famous university, among them Fred Dennett, Senator Hansbrough's private secretary. In the class this year is Mr. Edward M. Warren, private secretary to Congress man Spalding. A NIGHT OF TERROR.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1900 SOME PRAIRIE BREEZES. .• RETROSPECTION. .This is the ghost of the Might-hayo been, That walks in the twilight, with tnburn ful eyes, In the ghostly light, when the shadows rise,-' u, JS And backward with skeleton fingers thin Points, 'and gazes With deep-drawn sighs. This is the shade of the Might-have been, That stalks in the silence like hermit lone, And always backward seeing prone A figure stricken and lying slain, Of Hope or of Love or of Fortune flown. 1 *This is the spectre of Might-have-been, Bearing along o'er •Hie jagged stones A burden of dust and a bag of bones. Who in the sombre light has not seen, When something lost and the torn heart moans? This is the ghost of the Might-have been, Heaping up hopes on a funeral* pyre, Stooping With harsh 'laugh to light the fire, Stirring the flames with its fingers thin, -4 Bleeding from many, a thorn and briar. This is the shadow of Might-have been, Resting on life like a sullen cloud, Or mine, or thine, and tjhat weaves a shroud, Moans like the sea when the tide comes in And echoes a sob in the heart, aloud.
