The PnnR HOUSE BILL.


1t is with some difidence VIC address cur
selves to the discussion Of this yexed sub
ject, but il is a matter of 50 much impor
tancs 70 our people that it cannot be passed
in silence. A Poor House we must build.
It cannot be delayed. The bill before the
Legislature (and which We print in another
eolumn) is good one in the main, though
some of It's features are objectionable and
need amendment. The first section should
be amended and make the number of Com
missioners either three or FIVE, and provide
for their appointment By the Court The
objection to large number is that they are
difficult to get together and consequently
frequently delay work; the expense of a
large commission is also necessarily heavier.
Three good men are plenty, and are decided
ly preferable TO any larger number. The
Commissioners should be appointed BY the
Judges of tie Court. Otherwise some may
die, Others may refuse to serve and the va
eancies cannot be filed until another year
Indeed it might very easily happen that the
whole commission would thus be made va
cant. Again, in Court the selection can be
made in consultation with the county Off
GERS and the tax payers Of the county. The
men named in the bill are all good men, but
they have been named by unknown parties
and without the notice or knowledge of a
large portion of the people of the county
Important appointments Of this kind should
be made with the knowledge and consent Of
the people who have to pay the piper, and
not by unknown parties who, perhaps with
a knowledge of their views, have named
them with view to the accomplishment Of
a specific object. On this point We think
the people should be very positive and de-
mand that the appointment be made at
home and in open court The fourth Sec
ton IN regard 10 issuing bonds IS not clear
and should be amended so as TO make it
more specific. The amount to be borrowed
should be definitely limited In section
sixth it is right and proper that the people
be permitted to declare by vote whether
they wish the present property sold or not.
but if they should decide against sale the
commissions should not lapse, but should be
authorized to select suitable site and erect
buildings on the present property. Build
ings we must have and that without delay
The present building is simply disgrace to
the county, and the poor of the county can
hardly be kept in it as decently and comfort
ably as almost any respectable farmer keeps
his beasts Of burthen With these amend.
ments the bill would not be Objectionable.
Without them it had better not be passed
at all, as it would. in all probability, only
further complicate an already perpIexing
and disagreeable question and delay the
work that Is SO greatly and urgently needed.

THE FUNDING BILL.

Senator Sherman's Funding bill, As it
passed the Senate, provides for issuing
bonds in three series, each Of $400, 600 600
for the purpose of refunding the public
debt The first series are 10 los at 5 per cent
The second series are Is 40s at 4! per cent.
Aud the third series 20 40s at + per cent.
The bonds to be Of a not less denomination
than $50 registered and coupon, exchang-
able for the per cents now in existence at
par values, and redeemable in coin within
the minimum and maximum periods which
give name to the securities. The interest
to be paid in coin semi-aunually. The last
series of four per cents may be increased be-
yond the S4OO, 1000 in the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury, provided that
such increase does not Increase she aggre-
gate indebtedness
1t is further provided that these bonds
shall not be taxed nor the income derived
therefrom aud $50 00O, 900 are annually to
be appropriated 10 the payment of the ia
terest and principal of the debt. AFter
October next, it is required that the nation
al banks shall exchange their six per cent
bonds for the four per cent bonds under
this act.
We hope the b.n viii pass the House
promptly. The funding of our debt at the
lever rates Of interest herein named, which
it is believed can be promptly done, will
save from $40, ,000 900 to $25, ,000, 900 of in
tercst annually, being equivalent to a reduc-
ton Of $500, 700 600 Of the debt. The ma
tioual banks are grumbling at the prospect
OF giving up their six per cent bonds aud
taxing the four per cent instead and threat
en- to quit banking Nobody viii com plain
If they do. We need re-division Of the
national banks at any rate and this will af-
ford fine opportunity for fairer listribu-
tion. There will be plenty Of banks found
IN the Middle, Western and Southern States
to take the four per cent bonds and be clad
to get them.

A DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR.-Last Friday.

feetual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried IT, know that il cured them those who have
not know that tcures their neighbors and friends
and al know that what Il does once it does al
ways-that 1t never fails through any fault or
neglect Of 10 composition. We have thousands
upon thousands Of certificates Of their remark able
cures Of the following complaints, but such cures
are known IN every neighborhoed, and we need
not publish lhem. Adapted 10 all ages and con
ditions in all climates containing neither ealo-
mel OF any deleterioug drug, they may be taken
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleas
ant 10 take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any qusntty.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu-
late it into healthy aetion---remoye the obstrue-
tions Of the stomach, bowls, liver and other or
gsns Of tire body, restoring their irregular action
to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist
such arrangements as ara the FIRST origin Of dis
ease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which
these PILLS rapidly cure
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIST
LESsNESs, LANGU0R and Loss OF Ape

ulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone
and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various

they shonld be iudieiously taken for each case to
correct the diseased action remove the obstruc-
tions which cause it..
For DYsENTERY or DIARRHGA, but one
mild dose is generally required
For RHEUMATI~ NJ, G0UT, GRAVEL, PAL
PITATIQN OF THE HEART, PAIN IN TIE
SIDE, BACK and LoINS, they should be con-
tinuousy taken as required, to change the dis
eased action Of the system. With such change
those complaints disappear.
For DR0PSY aud DR0PSICAL SWELLINGS
they should be taken 10 large and frequent doses
to produce the effect Of drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION n large dose should be ta-
ken il produces the desired effect by sympathy
As a DINNER PILL, take one OF two PILLS
TO promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it Is often
advantageous where no serious arrangement ex-
lists. One who feels tolsrabiy WE'LL often hnds
that dose Of these Pills makes him feel decided
ly better, from their cleansing and renovatng ef-
feet on the digestive apparatus.

The Internal Revenue Bureau is prepa-
ring for the most thorough assessment of the
income tax that has ever been made. Spe-
cial instructions are being issued to asses
sors to see to it that every person believed
to be in the receipt of income or property
on which tax should be paid, be notified of
the Government demand, and required to
answer the questions of the tax list in full
and satisfactory manner. The intention of
Mr.. Delano is to secure the collection of this
tax, as far as possibls without evasion, so
that its burden may be more equally borne
than hitherto People of all classes, there
fore, who have made anything over and
above the usual exemption during the past
year, may as well begin to get their answers
ready, as assessors will begin during the
present month, and win prosecute with
vigor.

A NEW IpRA.-The latest suggestion in
finances, IN connection with the funding bill,
is the proposition to negotiate our new loans
in China and Japan. Money is said to be
very abundant in both these countries, and
can be had at very low rates. All that is
wanting is to bring our bonds to the notice
Of Chinese and Japanese capitalists and
give them assurance Of the security Of the
investment. We have already won the
good viii of these people through Burlin-
games mission and other good offices, and
the negotiation of loan there would rreat-
y facilitate aud improve our already -four
lshlng commercial relations with those
countries. The only drawback we see is
that the feelings Of the Democracy might he
hurt at the idea of selling our bonds and
borrowing money Of any but white men
They are opposed to the Chinese and would
doubtless be greatly exercised at the reeeiy-
ing Of any bat white mems gold. Let us
try the mongolians ANYHOW.

THE Camden & Amboy and Baltimore &
Ohia railroad companies are making a des-
perate effort to prevent the passage through
congress of the bill authorizing new air
line railroad between New York and Wash
ington. The two roads above named have
a monopoly Of the railroad business between
the two cities at present, and wish to pre-
vent any rival road We sincerely hope
their efforts may fail and the bill pass. An
additional road is greatly needed.
