WHAT Is A BILLION i?

A late Salem Record asserts that q
"billioti il million Millions" or what
Ii the same thing, 100000, 600, 900.
There arc two methods Uf Enumeration
In use--of which fact the editor ofthe
Record seems to be ighoratit. One is
the French, the other the English
The first Is that which is in general
use on the continent of Europe and In
the United States, five would know
the value Of tiumbefs higher that iiln.
drcds Of millions, WHEN we see them
written in words, or hear them read,
we heed to know whether they afc
expressed according to the French or
English method of Enumeration. When
sbe speak of billion Of dollars, In
connection with the federal indebted.
ness, we use the French method of nut
meration, and mean a thousand mill
lions only;-and not trillion, or
what is the same thing--a "million
millions" The Record affects to be-
lieve that We are n "trifie unfair -
about our figures; but we respectful
ly suggest that when the editor Of the
Record attempts to show that when
we speak of billion of dollars we
mean a trillion, he is himself a strife
UNFAIR" and hence isn't treating
"brother Abbott" exactly according
to Hoyle or Gunter.

WHAT BLESSED CoUNrRY-Jay
Cooke made over twelve million dollars
profit cut of Government securities during
the war. He pays no taxes On tLis amount,
but draws as interest in gold each year
EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS! Quite a little contribution from
the tax payers of America.

OIL MILL-The machinery of the oil
mill was started on Saturday, and every
thing was found to work we'll. AS soon
as the large boiler arrives in which the
meal is to be steamed after it is ground,
and is in its place, the company will'com-
mence the manufacture Of linseed oil.

The citizens of our place know that tho sleetion
of the Democratic nominees, so-calisd, would In
crease the city expenses. aud perhaps double the
fees of city officers. while they also perceive thn,
the Union men have been gTadnaliy improving
the city, and yet have been very economical 10
their xpenditufes.-Joarnai.
The citizens Of Albany don't know any
such thing. The presumption Is, that the
Democratic tioke. will be very economical,
If elected. They belong to an economical
party while the Mongrei ticket belong to
party the most extravagans, wasssfal md
rotten that ever cursed mankind. That
party has entaiIcd debt upon the country
greater than that Of any other country on
the globe.
The Journal claims that the Union mrn
have been gradually improving the city,
How despicable such partisan elap-trap is
But ii is.nos true to any great extent. Atone
time we ourself thought that the sidewalks
were built. in part q. least, by the city bot
this is not so. Property holders build the
sidewalks-.the city only the crossings.
What other improvement has the city
made? None.

AN DER TRCE TALE.-Ta a recent
speech at st. Paul, Minnesota, George Fl.
PendIeton gave the following startling ar
ray of figures:
AMOUNT OF TAXES COLLECTED LAST YEAR
In the United States $3.50, 100000
In Great Britaia 4s0, 100000
In France 100000, 900
TAX BASIS OF REAL AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY.
In the United States $4,000, 600, 600
In Great Britain 36,OOO,OO 900
In France 40,000,000 900
England and France have no more
local taxes, while the United States, in
addition to the above, have state, county
municipal taxes, amounting to nearly
$3.50, 100000.
From comparison of the above figures
it will be seen that while French despotism
collects 81 4cents on every hundred dollars,
and English aristocracy, s1.33, our Radi-
cal "best government that the world ever
saw" collects $5.18.
On each twenty dollars we unfortunates
hold, Uncle Sam leVies an annual tax of
one dollar This is, indeed, a great
country-for taxes.

WARDEN, IN ABsENCE OF THE MAS

WThe right Of the Warden to preside
in the absence OF the Master is imposed
nnon him by the 9Th section OF the 9th
Of Ancient Charges, which reads, When
a Fellow Craftsman THAT is, one VINO
has not been installed as Worshiptul
Master is chosen Warden OF the work
under the Master, be shall be true
both to Master and Fellows, shall
| carefully oversee the work in the Mas
| ter,s absence to the Lords profit, and his
/ brethren shall obey bim." It is made
/ ironerative upon the brethren to obey
/ him. and consequently It is his duty to
/ discharge all of the obligations OF the
/ chair in the absence of the Master-how
otherwise could the brethren obey him
unless he presided and performed the du-
ties OF the Master The proper con-
struction OF the Ancient Charges implies
competency on the part OF the warden,
and q discrimination in the selection
of the officer. 1t can not be too strongly
enforced that the brother chosen Warden
Of the work should be possessed OF Ma
sonic zeal and ability; so that either on
arriving at the Masters Chair, or being
called upon to preside in consequence Oi
fhe Masters absence, he be capable to
discharge the duties pertaining to the
, Orient No rule or feQlG
iatiog ofa Grand Lodge, or diepeasatior
of Grand Master, can depTiUe th'
Warden Of his right TO oversee the Mas
teris work in his absence, from any
cause.
"Can Warden resiguP We emphat
ieally say, No. He cannot, withou
violating his obligation: and If th
: Warden can not, surely the Master car
moi The obligation one
taken. can not be abrogated it is bind

Covenant is of too solemn and binding
