EouTtl1 Street.

The City Council are about undertaken heavy
and costly job in macademizing Fourth street.
The improvement has been talked of for q long
time, and various modes of paving the street has
been proposed. II is very much desired that the
street should be paved but there are number
Of persons who own property on 1t that are Op-
posed to paving it at this time aud say they can
not raise the money TO pay for it. There arc also
many citizens that entertain the opinion that the
work should be deferred, until the city has more
money In hand, or can better afford 10 spare the
money from the treasury. The taxes are already
high and the expenditure OF thirty thousand dol
lars in this work, land that is about tho amount
We think il was calculated 10 cosi) will add 10
them about twenty-five per cent Ifthc city could
collect the money tor the work as fast as it pro
gresses, of course there could be no strong objec
ton raised 10 going on with the job. But this
cannot be done and in all probability great part
of its cost will have 10 come out OF the general
t1xes for Two years. Thus every property holder
in the city will have IS per cent. added to his
taxes for the improvement of this street. which,
during the whole summer will be rendered un-
slightly by the piles ofdirt and stone that must be
accumulated from Que end 10 the other
The street is one of the most beautiful in the
city and is not in a bad condition, aud there is no
immediate necessity for its being paved for
another year, or until we get the water improve
ment further advanced or out of the way.
The fact too that the mode of paving by ma
cademizing is new with regard to our streets and
an experiment, suggests the Propriety OF trying
it on some street that is not so wide, where the
cost would not be so great.
The Chairman OF tie Street Committee is fully
aware Of the difficulty there is to raise money
now, not from any want ofhis own, OF course, but
from his position and extensive acquaintance with
the sources from which we usually raise money.
And from what we can learn there seems TO be no
prospect Of money being more plenty, or of the
high rate Of Interest, or premium above the lawful
rate, being reduced It is, therefore supposed the
city will have considerable difficulty to secure the
loans that she will need for the water improve.
ment and other work that the Council seem not
likely or willing TO defer. 1t would be better TO
commence the work OF macademizing ia the lat
ter part Of summer or early in the fall, al all
events. By deferring it We would save six months
interest on the cost, and we do not see why We
should not consider this also.

CoUNTERFEITING ExTBAoRDINART.-It has
long been know that our currency has been coun-
terfeied extensively all over the country but Few
persons ever dream that one-fourth of the stamps
current in this country are fraudulent Yet this
is true. A greater offense Is the duplication Of
bonds by government officials, which is carried
on to great extent In Washington. Mr.. George
Alfred Townsend has recently had a conversation
with an old copperplate engraver on this subject
who said:
"DO you know, sir that the postal currency is
renewed six times every year, That is the case,
and see the possibilities for Its increased dupica
ton and counterfeitiDg. We could better afford
% pay hfly per cent premium and use gold than
have 10 deal as we do with lot Of paper which
ls beyond the control, TO great extent, of the
Government officials. The eXtravaganuy high
prices and the corruption Ia our politics and life
hinge upon the currency. The duplication OF tia:
UnIted States bonds win some day be found such
an alarming matter that 1t will bring the wbole
country 70 It's feet. The crime began in the
Treasury a. far back as Chase's time. John Co
Vode and Others In Congress made strenuous
efforts 20 expose it, but they were gagged by tic
gaVel and party majority"

HERE is very perplexiug legal question
with which the authorities of Tennessee
are just now struggling. 1t appears that
man was tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hung for murder. Thus far the case
was in accordance with precedents and
presented no difficulties; but after the trial,
to the utter establishment Of judge, jury
and witnesses, the murdered man made an
untimely appearance. For this phenome-
non there was no precedent; and now,
what puzzles the legal mind of the state is,
to determine whether the verdict shall be
set aside, or whether the man that is to be
hanged shall murder his victim, in order to
validate the verdict. The case is very
interesting one, particularly to the two
men who have occasioned the difficulty.
But it is probably better that both should
be killed than that the inlallibility of the
court should be called in question.

Here are some figures worthy of note:
THE appointment of General Chanzey

THE appointment Of General Chanzey
to the post Of Civil Governor Of Algeria is
an ominous sign, and will cause no little
comment in France. He was the only
avowed Republican among the general
officers of the French Army who had been
intrusted by Theirs with an important
military command, and for this very rea-
son he was obnoxious to the monarchical
faction of the National Assembly. 1t is
no doubt due to their intrigues that Presi-
dent MacMahon has consented to send his
old companion-in-arms into what can hard
ly be construed as anything better than
kind of honorable exile. The Republican
cause in France will lose devoted adj
herent when the General leaves for Africa.

The Future of Our Manufacturing
Interests.

AhG Oh OtHE NAuV1hctufluk
Interests.
Notwithstanding the advantages that The
United States possess as manufacturing
nation, and the hopes entertained that
America will take rank as the leading ma
ton Of the world in this respect, there is
danger threatening us which will, unless
averted, says the Boston Globe, deprive us
Of our just position. That journal refers
to the growing scarcity of skilled mechan-
les. True, machinery is in measure
taking the place Of hand labor, but skillful
men are needed to build the machinery and
use 1t advantageously; and the result is
that good workmen are employed in con-
structing machines instead of doing the
work for which these machines are de-
signed, and by the assistance of which
much greater amount of work is accom-
plished. But, even with machinery to
help us, there is scarcity Of skilled
labor in busy times. and as we increase
our manufactures this want of educated
mechanics becomes more apparent. To-
day, one-half of our mechanics are Of for
egn birth, and were it not for the fact that
we are continually recruiting our force by
immigration our manufacturing interests
would be hopelessly crippled; as it is, we
shall have to depend upon the Old World
for our mechanics for years to come unless
change takes place in our apprentice sys-
TEN. A. reform in this matter should be
one of the great questions of the day.
The necessity of training men in the me-
chanical arts so that they may be able to
develop the great natural resources of the
country is apparent to the average thinker.
Intelligent skilled mechanics will always
be in demand.

THERE is q judge in Rhode Island who
is resolved that the citizens of that state
shall not make themselves nuisances to their
neighbors. The other day rash Rhode
Islander discharged his mussct in his back
yard; for which oifense he was heavily
fined, the judge observing that he was de-
tormined to "put stop to this annoyance
of people in neighboring state, if it cost
him his judicial head" That is a courtesy
which the adjoining states doubtless can
not fail to appreciate.

THE English government has small
war on hand with the Ashantees, growing
out Of the transfer Of the Province of Ell
min by the Dutch to the English. The
King of Ashantees has objected to the
transfer, and is bound to try conclusions
with the English to see il he cannot get it
himself. The English in the meantime,
have very shrewdly secured the Fantis, a
very strong Tube, as allies, and will let
them do the most of the fighting.

rus;ustriar Progress.

We find in the New York Tribune an
article based on the census Of 1870, show
ing the great increase in manufactures
under the beneficent policy of protection.
We quote striking paragraph:
The increase in our manufactured product,
during The ten wears of [" free trade" from 1850
to 1860, was only SIG as per capita, while in the
ten years Of protection, though burdened BY
ulation, or just three times as great. More
over the entire product as above given
in the years. 1850 and 1850 includes our
mining, quarrying and fishing industries, while
in that of 1870 these are excluded, having been
grouped separately. Protection seeks low prices
through abundant production at home. To have
increased by importation the quantity OF manu-
featured goods offered to our people to the ex.
tent of $49.7l per capita, would have required
an importation OF $l,9ls,22s.4l, or nearly two
thousand millions OF dollars annually, or
about four times the quantity OF imports that
we are now or ever have been able 10 pay for.
Here are some figures worthy of note:
Again, the capital invested in manufactures
increased from 1888 245 351 In 1885, to $l009 $780,
715 in 1860. or SO per cent. under low revenue
tariff ! which brought the government revenue
in 1860 of only SsS,Ooo, 600 year. The capital
invested in 1850 increased by 1870 to
~, l1S247, 069, or 1923 per cent. on the
larger principal Of 1860; the duties at the
same time netting the government a reve-
nue. of about S2l2 900 per year, or five times as
much as was collected under free trade. The
capital invested in manufactures was $27 "a per
capita for our whole population in $780, &33 II In
1860, and $65 SO in 1870. If it be said that this
ex pansion of capital invested has resulted from
and enced in an excessive profit to the capitalist
only, we find the assumption contradcted by
comparison of the net profit on manufacturing
capital, after paying for wages and raw mate
rails, of which, however, the manufacturer pays
taxes, interest insurance, business management,
repairs, living expenses, ETC. These We're 400 per
cent in 1850, AZ per cent. in $780, and As per cent
in 1870.
