W crnt nn HOW a Tax Payer Raised a Racket U mass meeting and soared them out of it. Still I guess they made up for it on the money they spent on the fire department. I wish we had taken more vigorous action at that time, but I 'm afraid it 's too late now. You see, under pretense that We needed an Increased Police Force, they 've rung in all their heelers on us matter of patronage, you see ; and I expect they fixed their majority for the next election. But that is n'c the worst of it. Here 'a the crowning audacity of the whole business. Look at that street there. Filth froth one end to the other. And those rascals have the cheek to say that it can't be kept clean un less the appropriations are doubled. Why here, sir here 's what tells the whole story. -One year ago our tax rate was 2.33, now it '8 3.40, and that 's what politics have made of men that are supposed to be decent. But you mark my words, sir, some day the people will rise in their wrath sand overthrow this whole busiuess of rings and jobbery and corrup tion ; and then, sir, and not tilfe then, we '11 have what J call a government. He is talkiug yet. Puck. The tax payer began it. 'Why can't we have decent gov ernment 1") said he. "We want another school house f my street is shockingly paved; we ought to have electric lights at every corner; we need an entire new sewage system; the fire department needs stirring w r 1 a. a 1 j up. 1 saw a ugot yesteruay, anu 1 there was n't a policeman within I five blocks. And why can't we '.have as clean streets as any other city in the world has I'' I And so he hustled around and made a lot of noise, and the first thing he kpew, to his own great astouishment, he had a whole Be form Town Council elected, all of his own way of thinking. I- In going to the first meeting of the Reform Town Council the jChairman stepped into a mud puddle, and bad to get his shoes shiued at an expense of five cents. So tbey began the work of reform with the Commissioner. of Streets. .Tbey called him up and asked him why he did not clean the streets. He said that he did clean them He bad cleaned them .all yesterday. "But they are dirty again today," said the Chairman. ''Certaiuly they are," the Commis sioner replied, "for the people put I new dirt there every day. They are at tnis present moment en gaged in putting - orange and banana skins, apple cores;, old newspapers, wrappers, envelopes, and house sweepings in all the streets of the town. They receive much assistance from the farmers and suburban residents whose ve hicles track in the mud from the dirt roads." ' "Well, why dou't you remove the fresh dirt!" in quired the Chairmau. I am re moving it,'' said the Commissioner, "just as quickly as I can." 44 Well, I guess we 've fooled enough with you," said the Chairman; "can you or can you not keep the streets clean !" "Certainly I can," answered the Commissioner; "nothing is easier. Just have those suburban roads macadam ized, and instruct the police to ar rest every man found tnrowing litter in the streets." The Chair man explained to the Commission er that these suggestions were im practicable. "AH right," aid the Commissioner; "then give me sufficient money to employ men enough to clean up the dire as fiist as the people make it, and I '11 have your streets looking like wax every day of the year." And then the Reform Council turned him down for a ringster and a professional politician, and put another man in his place. Then they sent for the Chief of Police. "Why," they asked him, "don't you arrest . every person who throws papers or banana skins into the streets, and also everybody who drives a muddy ' wagon into townt" "Because," said the Chief of Police, "we 've got only one policeman to every fire hundred citizens, and every half mile of street. Double my force and give me a bicycle for every man, and I '11 have the whole town in jail before night fall. Everybody 's guilty." So ; the Chief of Police got At dose, and a brand-new Reformer took his job. " And so the good work' went on. Che year later the tax-payer was talking again. "It is wonderful," he said, "how politics will corrupt the. best of men. Now, last year sir, we bad a great reform movement in this town. We elected a clean, new city" government. Every -one of our candidates was a business or professional man, and a personal - friend of mine. . There was n't one professional politician in the lot. Well, sir, they started in splendid ly, bounced every one of the old nngsters, pat new,cie"an, respect able men in all aronnd. Why, sir, tbey offered me the position of Commissioner of. Streets! -Of course I was busy and could n't take it J have sometimes thought it would have been better if I could have found the time for it, but I really could n't see my way clear at the time. Well, now you 'd have thought a state of affairs like that would give us a really decent crovernment. MONEY BY MAIL. wouia u t you t aeeras to oe a fatality about it, though. The moment a man gets in public of fice iu this country it corruDts him, sir corrupts him.. I 'in hanged if every one of. those .meu has n't turned out to be just as bad a ringster as the man he sue ceeded in office. Wfty, you would hardly believe me if I told you the state of affairs in-this . town to day! Here 's a great big expensive school house started when the 8choll funds are hardly adeqnate to support the existing ones. Job in j it, I suppose, for some fellow. There 's another job right under your eyes. They ripped up the macadam pavement in my street and unt down this Belgium block. I went to them at the time, and I said I did n't sse the necessity for putting the residents to ail that inconvenience; but if they tnuH do it, tbey ought to put down asphalt. No, tbey would n't listen to me. Said the towu could n't afford it. But I noticed that; the town could afford to take out all the gas lamps and pat in those confounded electric lights. Then they wanted to pnt in a whole new sewage system j some new Some Important Changes in the Money uraer system. Everybody who sends or re ceives cash through Uncle Sam's mails will be interested to learn that on trie tirst ot July next a new money order system will go into effect, by which both large and small sums can be readily transmitted by letter with, abso lute safety and at rates much less than the present. Orders for $2.50 or less can be had for a fee of only three cents, and orders for larger amounts up to one hun dred dollars at rates graduated up to thirty cents. With the issuance of the new money order, the pos tal note will ce abolished, since there will no longer be any need of it. The form of the new or der is both artistic and beautiful, and withal, of convenient size for handling. . Its popularity through out the country is likely to. be ereat from the very start. Its at tractive appearance, as well as its cheapness and availability, may be counted upon to insure that result. It is engraved on stee and serves as a good illustration of the tendency recently observa ble in Uncle Sam, toward aethet icisrrl in his official issues of gov erument paper. Contrasted with it, the old form now in use is un sightly and hideous. The schedule of fees to be .charged for the new money orders has been reduced to the basis now charged by the various ex press companies for transmitting money. Statistics Farms and Manufactures. The true valuation of the United States in 1890, according to census bulletin 379, was $65,037,091,197, of which $39,544,544,333 repre sents real estate and improve ments thereon and $25,492,546,864 personal property, including rail roads, mines and quarries. The live stock jn farms, farm .imple ments and machinery stand for $2,703,015,040; mines and quarries, $1,291,291,576; gold and silver coin and bullion, $1,158,774,948; machinery of mills and product, $35 8,5 93,441 ; railroads and equip ment, including street railroads, $8,685,407,323; telegraphs, tele phones, shipping and canals $701, 755,712; miscellaneous, $7,893,708, 821. These figures are instructive in regard to certain matters now un der discussion, the tariff, bimetall ism, &c. The manufacturing in terests, which makes so much noise and perverts our tariffs in a spirit of creed, only amounts to about one eighth of our total in terests, "including unprotected along with the small number of our protected industries. The value of the farms of the coun try, according to the bulletin 378, was $15,270,252,640. Adding- the value of farm implements and machinery, $494,247,467, and live stock, $2,208,767,573, we find the total farming interest in 1890 was over $16,000,000,000, or about twice the whole manufacturing in terest. Taking $16,000,000,000 as indi eating roughly the capital invest ed by farmers in their industry, it is interesting to note that the to tal value of farm products in 1890 was but $2,460,107,454, while- the $6,138,716,604 invested in manu factures produced products valued at $9,o54,435337. The farmers, it thus appears, on a capital nearly three times that of the manufac tures. get a product worth under one-third of that of the manufac turer. The disproportion is. ex cessive. The profits of the manu facturer- may not be what he would like them to be, but they are vastly larger than the farmer's, and the manufacturer can! no longer decently ask the farmer to "protect him. Jjatttmore burk Guaranteed Curr, THE UQUOB QUESTION. I Features of the Mississippi Temperance j - law. The Mississippi law is a local option law; but it has several features that differentiate it trom the local option laws of other States. One of these distinguish- ng features is its post election pe tition requirements. When a ocal option election has been held and a! county has voted "For the Sale," it does not follow that a saloon can be set up anywhere or by anybody. " 1 he would-be saloon-keeper must present to the pioper authorities -a petition in his behalf signed by a majority of all the i-egistered voters of the municipality, or supervisors dis trict, as the case may be. This petition must lie on file for thirty days before it can be acted on, and must also be published for the same, length of time in some local newspaper. Moreover, the names to this petition must be signed in full. U. W. Smith will not do; it must be George Wash ington Smith. First,' the people of a county decide by ballot whether they will tolerate the traffic at all in the countyj If they vote in the af firmative, then each community, whether in town or country, is allowed to decide the same ques tion for itself, and also to decide into whose hands the traffic shall be committed. Another notable feature of tie law is that which relates to counter petitions. During fne thirty days when the liquor fiti- tion lies on file, any rersonay get. up a counter petition. Any one who has naa any expe cnce in getting up petitions knos that there are. a great manyersons who will sign almost anind of petition that is presented to them. They will sign a saloo petition to-day, and to-morrowihey will sign a counter petition The law provides that all nars that are on both petitions shil count on the counter petition but not on the other.-. Just hefe we see the rationale of the requirement that all names shall bsigned in full. It is a well-know fact that saloon petitions; are Men fraudulent. They frequentff contain the names of non-ffcidents, etc. - : . I wish alsoo say a word about lincense fee The license taxes imposed onthe traffic are as fol lows: country saloons, $700; town saloons, $i,ooo; city saloons, $1,500. Tfiese are the dues to the State. Bach county or munici pality has the right to impose an additional tax of fifty per cent. Most of the counties and towns take Advantage of this provision. This makes the schedule run thus: country saloons, $1,050; town sa loons; $1,500; city saloons, $2,250. This high-license scheme was in tended to sound the death knell of the country saloon. In your cities, if a man gets drunk, a policeman is at! hand to take him to the lockup.) In the country, in our swamp region, we are often absolutely at the mercy of a "drunken mob." It was in response to such appeals as this that this measure was adopted. It has worked admirably. It can almost be said that the country saloon is now a thing of the past. Let us suppose that the- would- be vender of intoxicants has met his pecuniary obligations to the State and procured his license. What then? Is he now at liberty to dispense liquid damnation to anybody and everybody according to his own . ideas of propriety? Not exactly. In the ! first place, there must be no secrecy about his work. No screens must be placed before his door.; The American citizen who has paid so highly for his vending privileges finds himselt restricted also as to the character of his customers. Not, only is he not allowed to sell to a drunken man; he is also forbidden to sell to a habitual drunkard, either drunk or sober. As to minors, he must not, even allow them to enter his place of business. Suppose the venaer snouia make up his mind to ignore the law, what are the penalties that can be inflicted on him? Well, besides fine and imprisonment, there are other consequences to be contemplated.' Besides being liable to indictment and prosecu tion, he may have a damage - suit brought against him by any! one who has suffered by his lawbreak- mg. A father whose minor son has imbibed at his counter, pr a wife whose husband has exchanged shekels for his poison, may claim neavy damages at his hands. Moreover, any chancellor (not necessarily the local one) may on complaint of any citizen cancel any license summarily,' and the cancellation of the license 'does hot require the refunding of the license money. It is my deliberate conviction ;that Mississippi is to-day the banner temperance State of the Union. Rev. IV. C. Black, in Christian Ad vocate. v ' FATAL MINING RIOTS.

I The President is authorized to I tppoint, on the nomination of the ttornty-General, a sufficient num- r of -commissioners in- - Lbe districts to insure speedy and con venient hearings and trials of all persons chaiged with offences. They are to hold their office for u term of four years unless soocer removed, arid the Attorney General is authorized to remove such commissioners when the proper administration of the laws shall in his opinion require it. The commissioners have the same jurisdiction in their districts as are now conferred on United States Circuit Court commission ers and are authorized to try with a jury of six all offenses punish able with fine or simple imprison ment, and on conviction or a plea of guilty to sentence the defend ant with the same effect as if the defencant had been convicted in the United States District Court. 1 hey are not allowed to retain out of their fees as compensation more than $2,500 per year, and stringent provisions are made as to fees and returns. MIt is believed," said Mr. Wolver ton, "that this bill, if it becomes a law, will go far toward correcting the abuses which prevail in many States by which large fees are made for circuit court commis sioners and marshals. They have jurisdiction only within their dis tricts, -and the deputy marshal will "be deprived of the opportu nity of arresting a person in one part of the State and dragging him the whole length of the State for hearing before a particular commissioner." tion. Concerning the move Mr. 8wansoD8ays: -The request for the caucus is the largest ever presented Tor a Ilouce caucus which indicates the great interest felt in the subject. There are two elements favorable to the repeal or the State bank tax. One cle ment wants unconditional repeal and the other wants a repeal with Federal restrictions ana super visions, aronnd State banks of issue. Unless these two elements can get together 00 a compromise measure, it will be impossible to pass a repeal bill, hut if those favoring repeal will compromise their differences by uniting on a measure which both factious can support, the bill can be carried in the House." Mr. Swanson's poll shows more than 129 Democrats favorable to unconditional repeal but with those favoring conditional repal, the poll shows a wide margin for repeal of the bank tax. Speaker Crisp's name is among those igned to the request for the caucus.

Coder Orders of the Law and Order Lmim Kearly All Colored Boaldeata Hare Lost rraaklla Para. New Brunswick, N. J., Apr. 7, '94. The action ot the Law and Order League of Franklin Park in ordering all negroes to leave the village by Saturday night has caused a commotion among the colored families, and it is believed that all of them have already de serted the place, except four laborers who are employed on the farms of Henry Cortelyou and "t)an" Bodie. The League is the outcome of the killing of Moore Baker's wife and child, and it was organized shortly after the commission of that crime. Since the tragedy the white residents have determ ined to rid the place of them. This is not the first, time the colored families have been driven from Franklin Park, for taelve years ago the farmers formed an association and compelled all of those who then resided there to leave the village. Since the mur der of Moore Barker's wife and child there has been constant fear of ao uprising agatnt the negroes, and the League finally concluded that the best. way to secure the peace of Franklin Park was to force the colored people to quit the village entirely. Many of the negroes have gone to adjacent villages and settled there. The League had hired de tectives and armed them so that they would be prepared in case of trouble with the colored popula tion. The had no trouble, how ever, with the negroes, who knew they would be easily over powered. Franklin Park is an out of the way corner of Somerset county, and at the election a few days ago .a a a e - . a constable ana justice 01 the peace were elected in order to be better able to cope with disorder.
