The article focuses on several political and social developments. The article discusses statement of Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the U.S. census, regarding results of the eleventh census of the U.S. Whether results of the eleventh census are substantially accurate or not, is a question of great and far reaching importance. Upon those results depends the representation during the next decade of several States in the lower house of the U.S. Congress and in the Electoral College. The article further discusses a bill related to railroads. Inter-State Commerce Committee of the Senate, the upper house in the U.S. Congress, would be called together for the purpose of considering the bill introduced last winter, which permits railroads to pool their traffic.
