THE condition of New York City
suggests the man in the Gospel affl1ct
ed with devil who, going out, brought
back with him seven other devils, and
the last state of that man was worse
than the first. What gives point and
pith to the denunciations of the Times,
telegraphed this morning, is that the
Republican Havemeyer was the Times
own Reform" candidate for Mayor
1t now denounces his administration
as more disreputable than the
city has ever before witnessed,
not excepting Tammany. After this
candid confession from a Republican
paper, let us hope that hypercritical
reformers viii cease to cite Tammany
as the one all-suficing proof of Demo-
cratic corruption, and place the onus
where it properly belongs. Wherever
a people neglect their own affairs in the
wild race for self and pelf, leaving poll
tics to the gutter-snipes, corruption
will follow. The people who abdicate
self-govelnment, need not be surprised
If the fellows who take the job off their
hands, pay themselves handsomely for
the trouble.

Bed that in 1869, or previously, he had fur
nlshed fibre paper to the government.
When Mr.. Boutwell, was appointed Secre-
tary, and knowing that the Secretary would
have many office-seekers about hifn. he
did not call on tie Secretary until about
two months aftef he entered on duty. The
Secretary told him he was sorry he did not
call sooner as he had made arrangements
with Mr.. Wilcox, who is now furnishing
the paper. Mr.. Hudson further testified
that he offered to supply the paper for forty
five cents per pound. At this rate about
one-half the amount of what was paid to
other parties would have been saved the
first fiscal year of Mr.. Boutwell's Admins
tration. The Secretary told him that Mr..
Wilcox had gone to great expense in start
ing his mills, and he therefore thought he
out to have the work long enough to COM
pensate him for the outlay, but as soon as
Mr.. Wilcox should be compensated, the
Secretary would invite competition. Wit

Interest Ubiquitous, and House and
Land Rents n Theft.
NEW YORK, May 12.-The annual Cons
ventiOn of the Labor Reform League has
closed its sessions. Yesterday morning.
session was devoted TO the fifth anniversary
of the Anti-Usury Society. Edward Palmer.
President, made brief address, SAYING the
taking of usury, or interest, was system
of iniquity the abolition of which was the
only hope of human emancipation. Usury
Is the love of money systematized. 1t
makes injustice the rule and villainy fash
ionable. 1t is the sole source of the pow
erty and degradation of the race.
DR.. c. S. Weeks said that to collect rent
on houses or land, to charge interest, or to
gain money in any manner without labor
was theft.
The Ditch-Digger Entitled to the Same
Wages as n Raphael or Michael
Angelo.
The following resolution gave rise to
protracted discussion at the afternoon ses-
sion:
Resolved, that the price of labor should
be governed by the amount and not the
kind performed. The plea that it costs
more to prepare for certain kinds,as in pro-
fessions, is without foundation in Justice,
and it perpetuates the evil it creates. The
question is just as broad as it is long. If it
costs as much for preacher or artist TO
learn to prepare the sermon or picture, it
also costs as much forthe mechanic or farmer
to buy them, and the laymen cannot hope to
become the preacher or the ditch-digger the
business man, except by an equalization of
wages, to enable them to fit themselves for
such positions. The aristocracy of labor is
opposed to the law of exchange, which
alone should apply here. Equal pay, Civ
ing choice of occupation, would be for the
best good If each and all, as it would tend
to plaoa Go right men and women in the
right psssAs.

NOT THE MEN TO TIE TO.
Invaluable Advice to Eligible Young
Ladies'.

Ladies'
The american Register prints the
views of a correspondence lady-as
to whom girls ought not to marry.
The list is 50 long that We fear no men
will be left for those who follow her
advice. Her catalogue Is formidable;
whether it is Just we leave to the read
er's Judgment from the few specimen
extracts:
Don't marry any man over forty.
He bristles with habits as English
young ladies do with angles.
Don't marry the lively man.
Don't marry a man who stops your
mouth with compliments, makes des-
perate love to you the first time he sees
YOU. and talks about kissing. That
man thinks women are fools; but he Is
mistaken
Don't marry a man who tells won
derful stories Of which he is always the
hero, and in which he always distin-
guishes himself by extraordinary wit,
or sagacity, or courage, or presence OF
mind-these qualities not being, as a
rule, conspicuous In him.
Don't marry a man who has gIeIt
many sisters. Such a man Is always
spoiled; besides which it is not pleasant
to be engaged to a man who knows all
about your false hair, and how much
your dress est yard. No woman can
ever be an ideal divinity to a man who
has whole squadron of sisters
Don't marry man who says every
woman ought to know how to cook.
Don't marry a man who wears an
eyeSlass, or tight boots with high heels,
who curls his hair or his mustaches,
who puts scent IN his whiskers or
bleaches his eyelids, who lisps, who has
his finger-nails long and pointed, care
fully cut in an almond shape, who
wears four buttoned gloves, takes SIX
and three-quarters, and tells you so;
who if he be dark wears a red cravat;
If he be fair sky blue One-there is
no surer indication of a mans charae-
ter than his necktie; l always look at
that frst-who has enameled visiting
cards and a brilliant monogram, and
who always wears rose bud IN his but
ton-hole.
Don't marry a man who keeps bull
dogs. He is sure to be ike them.
"Don't marry a man who gets up
early. Nothing makes person so IN
sufferably conceited-
Don't marry a man whom nobody
ever says any evil of. Be sure that ne
is poor creature.
Don't marry a man who doesn't
smoke, and who prides himself upon 1t.
Don't marry man who has great
admiration for DR.. johnson. He ls
sure to be bear.
Don't marry a man who lnvents
things. Invention is the offspring OF
necessity.
Don't marry a good natured man.
Good nature is to a man what the gilt
leaf naughty boys sometimes adorn a
sparrow with is to that unhappy bird.
All the other sparrows get round him
and peck at him."

A CORRESPONDENT writes as follows Of
a celebrated place in Colorado Canon,
called Echo Park: "When gun IS dis
charged, total silence follows the report for
a moment; then with startling suddenness
the echo is heard, seeming at a great dis
tance-say five miles to the sOuth-whence
it comes back in separate and distinct re-
verberations, as ifleaping from glen to glen.
Louder and quicker grows the sound, until
apparently directly opposite, when a full
volume of sound is returned; then once
more the echo is heard, like the swapping
of cap, far to the eastward"

The ModOcs of Little Rock had an
other Characteristic battle yesterday,
terminating with the usual interven-
ton ,of Federal troops after several
were killed and wounded. The atti-
tude of Parson Brooks toward Presi-

his st. Louis organ, borders on the
positively disloyal. 1t begins to look
as though Baxter's Fabian policy
might win the day after all.
