The New York Sun remarks that the
elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio take
place on Tuesday next, and says ''dopbt

contested with "a good deal of warmth"
"If," says the Sun, "Packer and Pendlei

over the future prospects OF the Republi.

defeated, it will show TINT the Democrats

Mr.. EDITOR: A short time since, every
one in this broad land was shocked, hor-
riied, at the terrible death of the Avon
dale miners; but scarcely had the bodies
of the poor unfortunates been exhumed
from their grave of suffocation, before
the whole country around teemed with
contributions for the poor lone widow
and the helpless orphan, and to-day, if
the widow still mourns the sad fate of
her poor husband, and the orphan misses
the protection of it's father, yet they do
not want. These lines are penned and
these thoughts suggested after reading q
paragraph in the PHOENIX, of Friday,
stating that certain railroad, with its
accustomed liberality, had agreed to
carry articles for exhibition to the Fair
at reduced rates. Liberal, we grant, and
duly appreciated as q step in the right
direction; but We ask this company not
to forget, in their iberality, the widow
and orphan of poor, faithful Hargroves,
who died with their harness on him, and
whose shrek in that dismal swamp will
never be forgotten by those present. We
attach no direct fault to the company in
this matter, no neglect or carelessness,
and we (the public) desire to attach no
heartlessness to them. and hope to see
them do handsome part by his poor,
unfortunate widow and chill. We are
waiting, and if the company are not
going to do something now, while the
misfortune is fresh in our minds, let
them. at least, present to their shipping
friends subscription list. handsomely
headed by the company; the stockhold-
ers will endorse such an action. S.

THE TWELFTH AND SIXTEENI'H
STREETS RAIL WAY.


The authors of the Twelfth and Sixteenth
Streets Passenger Railway project suffered
that enterprise to lie dormant until the cleo
tions were over. They evidently feared that
If the people we're reminded during the ides
OF October of the shameless manner in which
the bill had been hurried through the Legis-
lature, they would give an expression to their
indignation at the polls which would be
neither complimentary nor agreeable. But
as soon as the political results were officially
declared, arrangements were made TO tear up
the doomed streets without the sanction of
the city authorities; and a resolution was
adopted by Common Council yesterday in
structing the Chief Commissioner of High
ways to report by what authority
tn are now tearing up Twelfth street. 1t
remains to be seen whether this demonstra-
tion is to be vigorously followed up by
full test of the right of the Legislature to
grant valuable franchises, created at the ex-
pense of the city to its fayorites, without
so much as saying "by your leave If the
principle of such legislation is tamely recog-
nized, it is only question of time when the
right to build passenger railways ON Broad
street will be granted to partisan schemers
and when the thoroughfares of Fairmount
Park are also handed over to their tender
mercies

cflce he invited his nrst Postmaster-General,
William z. Barry, of Kentucky, to a participation In
the discussions osthe Cabinet, and the Incumbent Of
the Office has since been regarded as one OF the
constitutional advisers OF the Executive. Mr.. Ken
dali was continued in the position by Martin Van
Burcn until the last year Of the latters admnstra
tlon, holding the Office little five years. When
he entered upon the duties OF the oce he found the
department in state OF embarrassing disorder and
Indebtedness. Within a single year he succeeded In
completely reorganzing 1t aud relieving It Of the in
debtedness which had been so grevously felt there
tofore; and, In 1896, Congress adopted plan sug-
gested 10y him for placing IL upon q substantial and
effective working basis. II is small credit to his
sagacity to state that from that day to this there has
been no material change In the working OF the post
office system Of the country, which, it at present
exists is substantial monument to the memory OF
Amos Kendall
In the latter part of May, 1910, Mr. Kendall re-
tired from the Cabinet, for the purpose Of ensting
all his energies in the momentous Presidential
struggle which was then impending. The success
OF the Wings put temporary termination to his
public career, which he chose to make permanent,
refusing at the hands Of President Polk foreign
mission, and dcvoting his entire time hencelorth to
the practice OF his profession in Washington, Where
he continued to reside from the time of his with
drawa, from the Cabinet to his last illness. For
several years afer his retirement from public life he
was embarrassed by a suit against him instituted by
certain mail contractors, but this was ultimately de-
cided IN his favor by the Supreme Court OF the
United States and from the proceeds of his success
fu practice at the bar he left at his death estate
worth half million OF dollars, consisting princi-
pally OF land investments in Washington and Chi
cago Ameng the most important of his legal
achievements were those in connection with the
magnetic telegraph, Professor Morse having cm-
poyed him for years as his counsel in the multtu-
dnous litigations arising from infrngements upon
his invention. Mr. Kendall although exercising
such potent influence in the affairs of the country at
one period, leaves scarcely anything ss permanent
evidence of his great ability except the admirable
postal system which he inauguratcd. His oaly work

and Civil commenced in 1914, but never completed

THE CENSUS OF 1870.

Councils yesterday adopted a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of Joint spe-
cial committee of five members from each
chamber to confer with the United States
authorities in regard to the preliminary
arrangements for the next census, so far as it
affects this city. The necessity of some
action of this kind was made painfully mani
fest by the census returns of 1860, which gave
a very imperfect and incomplete report of
our wealth and population. This subject de-
serves the most attentive consideration.
There is rapid increase in the practical
value of statistics, and the uses to which
they are appied and it is serious disadvan-
tage, in many respects, to community to be
rated below its proper rank. The municipal
system of gathering statistics, although it has
been greatly improved during the last few
years, is still imperfect, but this is
owing in a great measure to the
desire to avoid the burthens of taxation. II
has been proposed, in the national census, To
make a full and correct statement of all the
facts bearing upon wealth, population, and
property paramount to all other objects, and
to give every possible assurance that the cen
sus returns will not be used in any way as g
basis for either national, State, or municipal
taxation. If this understanding universally
prevailed, the city, in cooperation with thj
national officers, should be able to secure {
very close approximation 10 the actual tra.l

Wooden VS.. Paper Boats.

Mr. stephen Roberts of this city, in answer to the
challenge alluded to in the Times OF Friday, as hay
ing been put forward by Waters, Baulch \ Co., of
Troy, PAPER boat manufacturers, who took the first
medal at the late Fair, has sent us letter. in which
lie says:--
'What Mr.. Waters calls paper boat is two-thirds
wood. The stem is brass; the Keel seats, gunwaes
and washboards are Of wood, All that is paper about
it is the outside covering The judges (at the Fair
knew more about soap than about boats. II they
had been boatmen, boat-builders, or boat-rowers
they would not have asked to make rockng-cradle
OF boat The proper test, outside of rowing in the
water, IS weight and in that | beat Waters by ten
pounds, besides having twenty more inches in length
than his boat had. am ready to test my boat with
any boat that can be built by him; but should like
hnn to make real paper boat, not one two-thirds
wood, to row against mine. He has tried several
foar-Oared boats, and the Oarsmen all condemned
them-that is, the paper part of them. My boat was
not built to go to the Fair but to rowed by Walter
Brown in England The steamship company re-
fused to take her on Mr. Browns terms, and / then
entered her in the Fair not expecting to contend for
any prize"
In Justice to Mr.. Waters it must be said that he is
now exhibiting his boats at the Virginia State Fair
in Richmond For the information OF aquatic sports
men may mention that when he returns the
relative merits of wood and paper boats will be
thoroughly tested, as Mr.. Waters is determined to
stand by his challenge.-N. T. Times.

in all important statistical matters and while
facts affecting individuals would be carefully
concealed from the public gaze, the aggre-
gates would be faithfully summed up, aud the
world enlightened in regard to our true
standing.
