neutrality-suspicious.
that the present Board of Town Trustees
have adopted novel plan for ex:iosuish.
ment Of the municipal debt. They pro.
pose to gradually reduce the value Of the
town paper until it is worth nothing. Iu
Pursuance of this object, town scrip is to
be registered, and condition imposed not
contemplated or agreed to by the holder.
The result has already been to dcpreciate
the paper from passing at nearly par to u
mere nominal valuation, at which it ceases
to DO medium of barter or exchange.
The most unsophisticated people are some.
tunes found among those generally ac-
knowledged to possess shrewdncss far
above the mediocre. People do not in
quire into the ability manifested but accept
the result as an infallible basis of judgment.
This is oftentimes unwisc. In this in
stance, those who expected to see our town
speedily freed from debt, just because a
trio of twoper cents were elected Trustees,
will have to wait long and patiently for
that blessed consummation.

BEACH AS SURVEYOR GENERAL
The appointment OF Mr.. l.. l.. Beach rs

not surprise any body at all acquainted
with the part he has taken in advancing
Mr.. Gar6elde's interests. To Beach, more
than any other man, does Gar6elds owe his
first nomination aud election, and this
tardy acknowledgement comes more as an
extraordinary induccmcnt for Beach to
rally his forces now in the hour of sore
distress than it is an expression of graft.

thought that Ferry has run Garfeldc so
far undor ground that even Beach cannot
rcsurrecs him, with all his energy and fer
tlity of resource. While we believe that
an American citizen should have been
chosen for this important position, it is at
least some qualification to know that man

THE ELECTION,

The telegraph announces that the bill
postponing the general election has been
signed by the President, but so little con-
6dence have the people in Our Delegate"
and so we'll acquainted are they with his
fraudulent practices, that they, with one
acoosa, await official information of the
approval Of the bill before yielding the
point. This distrust is the more remarka-
bic prevailing as it does most widely among
those who have heretofore been his most
earnest and devout followers. Nor is it
the politicians who express this doubt most
frequently, but the Study yeomsnry, who
ask no personal favors of Mr.. Gar6elde
