As the city election approaches
taxpayers in the several wards of the
city ought to confer with one another
and select only 6rst-rate reliable men
for Councilmen. No man should be
elected around whose skirts hang the
least taint of jobbery or dishonesty.
The times are hard. money is scarce,
and all prudent men realize the great
necessity Of observing closer economy
in the management of their business
affairs. A like prudence and economy
ought to govern in the management of
city affairs. It is foolish on the part
of tax payers to expect prudence and
economy at the hands of men who are
reckless and extrayagant in their own
lives. One great fault with City
Councils is the inconsiderate way in
which many questionable OUTLAWS of
the public money is ordered. Often
works costing large sums of money are
ordered without first considering
whether the money is in the treasury
to pay for them. No cautious man
undertakes o work without first con-
sidering the cost and providing the
means of paying for it. City Coun-
cilmen ought to be equally prudent,
and never authorize anything to be
done until they have considered the
utility and cost and provided the way
to pay for it. IF taxpayers will duly
consider the matter they will see the
imperative necessity Of not trusting
men to manage city affairs whom they
know they cannot trust in ordinary
business transactions. Vote for none
but men of tried honesty.

It is understood that Gov. Walker,
of Virginia, now q member of the low
er house Of Congress, proposes to IN
troduce a bill at the next session for
the assumption Of the State debts by
the general government. This has
long been favorite scheme of his and
was thoroughly discussed by him in
his message to the Legislature of Vir-
ginia before his retirement from the
gubernatorial Office He had indeed
two propositions, the first was the as:
sumption and payment by the United
States of all the existing legal lndebt-
edness of the several States; the sec
ond, a constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the creation of future lndebt-
edness by the States. And these
propositions were the basis of the
platform he erected for himself while
canvassing for a seat in Congress.
His scheme is said to embrace a
proposition that Congress assume the
aggregate indebtedness of the States
and issue bonds, with interest payable
annually, covering the whole amount.
It 10 said this will not increase the
burden. for the debts are owing now
and must be paid by the people, and
IL mdIlcIS lILtl6 WuctucI Ju0y pay
them as citizens of the States or Uni
ted States. Ii the indebtedness of
each State was exactly the same in
proportion to population and wealth,
the argument might apply, but as this
is not the case, it would make a very
great difference in favor of the extrav-
agant and reckless States and against
the more economical and provident.
Beside, what has the general govern
ment to do with the debts of State
when it had nothing to do with the
contraction of them? Or what consti-
tntional authority has Congress for
assuming and paying these debts?
These seem to be questions which Mr..
Walker appears never to have consid-
cred or indeed thought worth consid-
ering. The constitution is not in the
way of Democratic politics when it is
their interest to ignore or put it aside,
though a strict construction of that
instrument is an old time doctrine of
that party.
But glance at Governor Walkers
statistics will show the whole thing to
be an artfully contrived political plot,
intended to bring the Democratic
party into power at the next election.
He divides the States into three
classes; those which are considered
certainly Democratic, or could be in
duced by this scheme to become SO;
those that are sure under all circum-
stances to 60 Republican, and the
doubtful or uncertain States. These
he classes as follows:

This press, on which the Cincinnati
Commercial is now printed is thus
described by the New York Tribune,
which latter has one put up also:
The application of stereotype
plates to newspaper printing was an
appropriate compliment to Colonel
Richard M. Hoes invention of the
lightning cylinder press, which for a
quarter OF century was the best fast
printing machine in the world, and is
even now surpassed perhaps by no
one except Colonel Hoe himself. It
seems to us that a revolution in print
ing quite as remarkable as that which
the cylinder press and stereotype plate
created many years ago, is likely soon
to follow the Introduction of the Hoe
Web Machine of which the first made
for any New York establishment has
lust been put up in the Tribune vaults
The inventor has spent many years in
bringing it to perfection, and has suc-
ceeded at last in producing a press
which for speed, economy, neat work
manship, compactness, simplicity and
beauty Is certainly unrivaied. While
some unwise American journals have
been importing presses from London.
English newspaper proprietors, better
approaching both our mechanicians
and their own. have been buying i'm
proved presses Of Hoe The London
Telegraph is using eight of Hoes new
web machines, and the London Stand
ard sit. The press occupies less than
half as much room as the old six
cylinder machine, and weighs between
thirteen and fourteen tons. 1t prints
from web or continuous role of pa
per, and makes the impression on
both sides almost simultaneously, de-
livering the papers complete at the
rate of IL, 200 or 18, 600 an hour The
massive iron frame supports two type
cylinders. One carries the stereotype
plates for the four outside. and the
other for the four inside pages The
roll OF paper is held above the center
of the press, and is connected with a
self-regulating brake at one side,
which checks it's momentum as soon
as the press is stopped. The paper
first runs between one of the type
cylinders and its companion impress
sion cylinder, by which operation one
side Of the Tribune is printed, and
then passes on to the other set. which
completes the impression by printing
the second side. Running now be-
tween pair OF cutting cylinders, it is
perforated and nearly but not quite
divided at the required place, and
carried on tape to the accommodating
cylinder, where the rollers revolving
more rapidly, pull the copies apart at
the perforated line. When six copies
have been received the cylinder de-
livers them to the fly, which lays them
in pile upon the table. 1t will
be seen that the press has
many. points of resemblance to the
cylinder machines, of which. indeed
it is the offspring, but it is vastly less
complicated. It requires only two
men to manage it, while the old eight.
cylinder press, doing just hall as much
work, needs the labor of nine meI
and two boys. It enables the editor
to hold all his forms open until abou,
3 o'clock in the morning, instead Of
locking up half the paper at midnight
as he was formerly obliged to do.

General Spinner.

The Cincinnati Commercial of the
9TH concludes lengthy leader on the
eminent services of the retiring Uni
ted States Treasurer, with the follow
ing we'll deserved eulogy of him:
''In his long service General Spin
ner has persistently refused the Gus
tomary furloughs which all other
officers Of the Government, from the
President downward, systematically
indulge in. With the exception of a
single trip to Europe, rendered neces-
sary by his failing health, and an oc-
casional week of absence very rarely
INDUCED in to visit his New York
home, this officer has stood steadily
at his post, working more hours in
the day than most men in public or
private station, and even tor many
years sleeping at the Treasury Depart
ment to enforce still greater vigilance
over the interests committed to. his
charge He has we'll earned that re-
pose which now awaits him, and which
must be regarded as the few closing
days of life already protracted FIVE
years beyond the seventy which are
the accepted average limit even of the
long lived. He has well earned, too,
the gratitude of his countrymen for
unselish, devoted and high minded
service, rendered at the expense of
his private fortune, which, as he in
formed friend in a recent letter,
does not much exceed $4,000 in the
aggregate. The salary of this most
onerous and responsible Office is only
Sc 500 n year. 1t is rare, indeed, that
so protracted public service exhibits
so honorable record. with SO little
to the discredit of the incumbent, and
80 much that is worthy of emulation
by his successor"

Mr.. G. f. Coffin, of Madison, Ind ),
died Tuesday of last week of pleura-
pneumonia. at his residence in that
city. MIR. Coffin had been a resident
of Madison nearly twenty-five years,
and was beloved and respected by all
with whom he associated in life. For
many years he had been a staunch
Republican. and was one of the lead
ers of the party in Jefferson county.
At the time of his death he held the
position of postmaster. position to
which he was appointed during the
administration of Andy johnson. He
was a we'll educated, good, common
sense man, Fever made a move until
he knew he was in the right, and then
put all his energies into the accom-
plishment of whatever he undertook.
Though not member of any church,
he was man of excellent morals, and
always ready to lend helping hand
to every good cause. Had he lived
until his term of Office expired, it was
his intention to remove to Indianapo-
lis, where he owned valuable property
on Meridian street Mr.. Coffin was
about fifty-seven years of age, and a
member Of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows.

Treasurer, in favor Of Lewis NJ. Bax-
ter for the sum of three hundred dol
lars-the same being additional pay
for making assessment of personal
property Of the year 1876"
Mr.. Zeller, moved that the allow
ances be two hundred dollars-just
half that the ordinance provided
should be the Assessors pay; but that
was voted down, and the resolution of
Mr.. Dickman was adopted-seven to
three. So Mr.. Baxter was allowed
additional pay of three hundred
dollars-making the snug little sum
of seven hundred dollars for assessing
the personal property ONLY of the
city. Heretofore, this officer assessed
both real estate and personal property;

officers, at the opening of the Council

economy was not all myth-we felt
so proud of him, that we thought
Barnum ought to secure him for ex-

which he had preached; but our graft
fication proved to be lived
