A GREAT lNJUsTlCE.-In every part of our

can be seen small storerooms devoted to the
manufacture and sale Of cigars and smOk-
ing and chewing tobacco. The proprietor

turers. They depend upon their daily labor
for living, and they are unable for the
want of capital to purchase more than
very limited supply of material to work

hon of the Grant administration. The new
tax and tariff bill just signed by Grant, de-
fines a retail dealer as follows every per,
son shall be regarded as q retail dealer in
leaf tobacco whose business it is to sell leaf
tobacco in quantities less than an original
hogshead, case or bale > and then oompels
such to pay $500, and, in addition, if his
annual sales exceed 81 700, fifty cents tax
on every dollar of such excess. What
will be the probable effect of
this iniquitouS Radical legislation &?
Simply to take away the occupation of the
small retail dealer, aud give the entire mo-
noPOly of this branch of trade to the men
Of capital, who will not scruple to use thsir
purse in their own interests, to the disad want
age Of the poorer classes. Heretofore she
heavy manufacturers have encountered
strong competition from these small dealers,
bu, by this law the game is played into their
own hands. It's easy, in these times, for
rings aud HaonopOlies to obtain the passage
of any law which they may desire, with a
corrupt administration in power whose mu-

OUR YoUNG FoLKs.-Few towns can
boast 40 promising q number of lads and
misses as Book Islsnd-most OF whom are
iudustriously qualifying themselves for the
responsibilities they must soon assume.
Very soon they will be the leaders in busi-
ness and society here, and the characters
they are now forming will govern and con
trol them for life Some are at school here,
are beneftting by foreign school and travel
but nearly all our young people seem to
be aware that they must improve their time
and advantages now, and be prepared for
the leading positions they are soon ex
pected to ELI, and which they are sure to fill
if they properly prepare themseves-not
otherwise. THE ARGUS wishes them all
success and prosperity, but these only come
by perseverance and hard work. Rich
parents cannot buy education or character.
In our country, with our Tree schools ,the race
is open to all-and the children of the poor
oftener succeed than those ofthe rich. Some
of our young people are named below; scores
Of others are struggling for position; but
only industry and good character will
win the prizes.
The occasion for these reflections ia the
return of Samuel A. Lynde, who has been
sometime at school in Europe, bat has now
returned. His little brother Fay and his
sister Grace have also been at school in
Europe, but returned sometime ago. Fay
speaks better German than English, and we
suppose Sam has made decided proficiency
in French and German as well as his other
studies. Ben Cable, who has been pursuing
a very thorough course in Germany and
France is expected every day. Neddie
Guyer and Charlie Aiken are still in Heidel-
berg. Quite number Of our young people
have been studying and travelling in Europe
among them Phil Mitchell, Lucy Gable,
Misses Charlotte, Hennie and Lucy Buford,
and perhaps others. These travellers and
students reflect credit on our city wherever

UNION SoUARE.-A committee has been
appointed BY the Council to perfect The
City's title to this square. The proceedings
do not state who made The motion. We hope
the clerk, in future, will not omit the name
of the person who makes any motion. The
name should always be given, and the name
of the second, also. We do not speak &C
it with any special reference to this case,
but as Arule in ell cases.
The claims set up, against Union Square,
have no real foundation and nothing should
be paid upon them, unless upon the princi
that it would be cheaper to pay something
than to carry on a law suit.
The Union says the object in perfecting
the title is "for the purpose of selling it to
the highest bidder" The City can ever sell
this property without the written consent of
every person who owns any property front
ing on the square-and it is not at all pro-
bable thai such consent can ever be obtain
ed. II is even a question whether the City
could sell it with such written consent.
/ Good lawyers say that it is q question
whether the public throughout the city gen
orally have not such rights in the square as
viii make sale Illegal without their written
consent.
Bot it was no. Of the legal question that
we intended to write, now,-but of the pro-
priety of improving the square. This ought
to be done at once 1t is quite likely tha.
a good many public meetings will
be held here this summer, and the thick
shade On the south side Of the square rem.
ders that an excellent place, provided the
square shall be put in decent condition L
would also greatly contribute to the comfor
Of our citizens if the square was in a condi
tion to be occupied day and evening. The
= ground should be leveled down; fountain
erected in the centre; decent picket fenc,
built; and walks laid out from corner to cor
ner and from the centre Of each side to tht
opposite side. These improvements woult
make the square an attractive place, ad,
N much TO the appearance of the town, especi
ally in the ewes Of strangers, and render th
grounds s iayorite resort Of our people in no

e say whether il shall be done.
