In the April number of The
Forum, Representative E. Q. Mills,
of Texas, will make a critical analy
sis of the. census, to show that it is
so seriously defective as to be use
less. In the same number of The
Forum, Senator Hoar, of Massachu
setts, who was the champion of the
Election Bill in the Senate, con
structs an argument to prove that
the Republican party was untrue to
its precedents and to its principles,
because the late Congress adjourned
without enacting the Election Bill.
He argues that the series of great
historical achievements of the Re
publican party suffered so serious
a breach by this inactivity, that they
must find new vigor to make its
future in any way worthy of its pa3t.

of railway rates in the United States
and in other countries, to ascertain
whether our rates are really high.
