New York Nov. 16.—Messrs. Mes-

view of the serious nature of the com-
munication they have forwarded it to
the state department at Washington
with the request that Minister Bay-

the second heat which led her back-
ers to believe they bad a dead sinch.
But there were those on the quarter
stretch who thought differently not-
withstanding the fact that tLe horse-
men were putt’ng their stamps on
Little Thorn; and when the book-

The Next Federal Census.
New York P ess
Unless vitiated by fraud the next
census will rob the once solid south of
much of its representative power.
This power was relatively increased
by the census of 1880 not because the
population of the south had increased
more rapidly than in the northern
states but because the census of 1870
had under the old system of enumera-
tion by United States marshals been
imperfectly taken. In some southern
states the returns were far below the
actual number of inhabitants aud
hence the corn it enumeration of 1880
showed an abnormal increase iu
several southern states. In conse-
sequence of this our southern friends
will not be able 11 count on anything
like the relative increase of congres-
sional representation between 1880
and 1890 that came to their lot
between 1870 and 1880. The great in-
crease will be in the northwestern
states and in the territories which
tiie republican party has pledged
itself to convert into living parts of
the Union. For these reasons and
because the tariff’ system is yearly
becoming of more importance to the
new industrial south the republican
victory of last Tuesday will go a long
way toward breaking up the solid
south and destroying all sectional
feeling.
Unpleasantly personal; Ferguson
(as they pass an Italian vender on the
street corner)—“Did you hear what

Ferguson—“ Why he called out ‘chest-
nuts’ as you passed. I thought he
was unpleasantly personal.”

George Dullnig’s Loss.
George Dullnig retired to rest last
night and slept the sleep of the just.
This morning he awoke and proceed-

no clothes to perform that operation.
Search was made and the clothes
were found iu the yard. The place
it was then discovered had been bur-
glarized. The burglar had evidently
effected an entrance to the house by
forcing the fastening of the window
and made an active search of the
house but did uot get much. Out of
Mr. Dulltog’s clothing he got s3s—-

acter.
