TAXATION OF DoGs-In case of death

ECONOMY ON STEAMBOATS,. There is prob

Of a steamboat, and consequently no

self in the honey heavy dew of slumber. In
the case of the steamer just wrecked in the
North River because of the failure Of the
pilot to keep his eyes open the real sufferers,
therefore, are the owners of the boat The
pilot will perhaps not be any one elses pilos
in great while, but will doubtless get other
occupation. For the owners, however, it is
doubtful if they can collect an insurance,
and the loss will teach them the useful les
son, not widely enough known, that in the
management of great interests true economy
lies oftener in the liberal expenditure Of
money than in its rarsimonious use. For 9
pilot to be on duty one night when he only
had a third of his sleep the night before in
dicates that the force was overworked, be-
cause it was too small. The punishment
falls in the right place. therefore; for the
owners are to blame.

May Teachers Mnrrys

Any law or official rule which operates a.
IN obstacle to marriage is an evil in SO far
as it is effective. and greater evil if in
effective, because it puts a premium upon
fraud and immortality. 1t is well known,
for instance, that wherever soldiers widows
receive pensions which are discontinued il
they remarry this in some degree pre-
vents marriage and in SO far leads to the
formation of illicit relations; but it does not
absolutely prevent marriage The women
marry, but conceal the fact, and relation
which every State should encourage and
honor is stamped with one of the character
of crime that character. namely, that it will
insure the infiction of a penalty if it be-
comes known. The regulation proposed to
be enforced in the schools of the city, that
married women shall not hold places az
teachers, is on its face, therefore, if not
immoral in itself, likely detriment ia
morality; it is also against good policy on
the broadcast grounds, and tends to the cul-
tivation of dishonesty. For these reasons
we believe it would be bad rule to make.
Reasons are given on the other side in favor
of the measure. So far as these reasons are
stated they are those of prurient prudes in
pantaloons. At best they are certain minor
considerations of convenience in adminis-
tration which cannot for o moment weigh
against the broad reasons against the pro-
posed rule.

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.

In view of the passage of our Silver
bill, the Secretary of the Treasury has Or
dered from the San Francisco Mint $780,
900 in silver coin in addition to that al
ready on hand. The immense product
of silver from our Pacific slope mines, and
the characterization of that metal by Ger
many-that is; the making of gold its sole
stard of value-has been having the effect
Of lessening the value of silver for some
time past. The announcement of a new
Indian government loan of $4,000, 900 to
be bought in London, and the passage by
Congress Of our new Silver Currency bill
conspire to check the depreciation of bul.
lion and to advance the price of silver. A
telegram from London on Wednesday last,
stated that silver there had advanced ia
535d. When it advances above sod. then
its worth as commodity endangers it,
circulation as change. Were it thus tc

A LITTLE MORE TO THINK ABOUT.

The working masses should bear in
mind, that no matter how abundant the
land may yield, the ordinary price of pro-
visions do not change. Why it is so, puz-
zles them very much, and they frequently
ask solution Of this seeming conundrum.
1t is simple enough, they do not intelli-
gently buy their provisions. To buy in
telligently, and hence cheaply, require two
things-a talent for buying, ard enough
capital to buy with. Cooperation or
clubbing together, of ten or more families
would solve the problem:-as both require
ments would be found in such combina-
ton. We will illustrate in plain way.
Before the month of May is out, shad will
be selling in all probability, at New Cas-
tie pier, for ten cents apiece. Ten families
putting up$2 each, could have with very
little extra expense, two hundred prime shad
cured in pickle, vastly superior to the very
best mess mackerel, at one-third of the
cost of that article. When the cold weather
came they could be divided pro rata--and
each family would have at least forty
pounds Of prime fish, for a fraction over
five cents per pound. Think over this. The
same principle holds good as to supply of
any meat, or vegetable, which will keep.
Coffee, tea, molases, &c., can be laid in
relatively as cheap. Try cooperation, and
you will derive some benefit, from the
abundance of Gods gifts. So long as you
ignorantly, and wastefully purchase, you
will never be benefited to any extent, by
the greatest harvests.

THE JEWS OF THE UNITED

The Jewish population Of New York
City is over 10000, and the Jews are to be
counted by many thousands in all the
large cities of the Union. There has been
q very large Immigration Of Jews intosthe
United Staets frem the various countries
Of Europe during the last twenty years,
and the prosperity they have enjoyed has
enlarged the current in this di, ection from
year to year. A Jewish paper, published
in London says, that Of the six millions of
Jews in the world, a quarter of million
of them are to be found in the United
States. Our decennial census returns give
no distinctive enumeration of Jews, and
therefore leaves no accurate figure of re.
cent date to give correct estimate of the
number, but to Judge Of the many thou
sands Of Jews in Philsdelphia, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Chicago, San Francisco, New
Orleans, and other large cities Of the
U.lion, the estimate of the London Jewish
paper is entirely too low. 1t is nearer the
figures to say that one half million Of the
six millions Of Jews are in the United
States.

TINE POWER OF THE PREss.

1t is conceded to be just and proper fol
a newspaper to manage its business in its
own way, and it is no ones concern as long
as the paper honestly serves the public.
The power and rights of the press we're
strikingly manifested in the tilt between
the House Committee of Expenditures and
the New York Herald. The committee
wished to get from Herald correspon-
dent a statement of how the Herald OBJ
tanned copies Of certain cypher dispatches
relating to the St. Louis whisky frauds,
and especially concerning the credibility
of the detective Bell. The correspondent,
by instruction of the Herald proprietor,
declined giving the information, because
to do so would impair confidence in the
press and thus cripple Government inves-
legation, and also to do 10 would be to
needlsssly expose the inner-managenent Of
rhe journal Immediately concerned. The
teasens given were 20 powerful that the
committee, desirous as they were for the in
formation, did not press the question. One
thing is clear and that is, that in the rage
for inquiry which possesses the present
Democratic Congress, this matter weuld
not have been passed over,e1cept by neces-
sity.
When Col. Mcclure, Of the Philadel-
phia Times, was examined by the investi-
eating Boom Committee, at Harrisburg,
Penna., and was asked for the name of the
writer of certain article that appeared in
the Times, he very promptly and properly
told them that i did not concern the COM
mittee who wrote it. Both instances are
suggestive Of the power and influence Of
the Press.

A JUST AND SIGNAL REBUKE,

Thanks to our distinguished and very
sensible foreign guest, Dom Pedro, for his
eminently just and appropriate rebuke to
American .aunkeyisn, in declining the os-
tentatious reception which government
dunksys attsmpted to force upon him, not
withstanding his positive and reiterated
protests against any public or official At
tsntion. 1t is really refreshing to know
that there can occasionally be found men
in exalted poritions who possess these
great requisites Of a gentleman, manliness,
sense, and taste, as was manifested by the
Emperor Dom Pedro, in his reproof to
our American sheddy reception delega-
ton.
Dom Pedro has no relish for American
tomfoolery and Aunkeyism such as was
lavished on the Little Tom Troupe and
the japanese ambassadors. What con-
trast was presented on the deck of the
"Helvius," between Brazilian and Amer
ican shoddyism where stood the Emperor
and Empress, in their plain dresses, and
our American flunkies in their gaudy, gilt
tering uniforms.
How striking the contrast between the
unpretending, simple and dignifed visitors
and the shoddy pomp Of the American re-
ception party. The rebuke the Emperor
gave cur American toadies in positively
elining their escort, was most righteous
and merited one.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 0, 1876.
The Primary.

In these days when the reform cry
is fashionable it behoves the people to
make it practical matter by needing
it in their political campaigns. Public
policy, the first thing for the voter to
consider, demands that only honest and
capable men be selected to fill the va
rious offices in the public service. 1t
remains with the individual voter to
say whether this demand shall be heed
ed or not. At the primary and the
convention, more than at the polls, it is
important that all the best elements of
the political parties be present to mani
fest their will in the selection of dele
gates and the nomination of candidates.
Party organization is one OF the neces-
sary concomitants of our civil govern
ment, and although voter may not
feel himself to be in harmony with any
political party, he must seek come meth
cd of manifesting his political will as
well in the initiative of politics as at
the polls. He must not therefore neg
lect the primary meeting, but rather at
tend and help to select the men who
are to make the nominations. 1t is very
important that the primary meeting
should be we'll attended by all the vo-
tiers of the precinct. Jobs and schemes,
which have for their object the further
ance of the selfish motives of ring man
ayers, little and big, are first put up at
the primary meeting. Asa general thing,
primaries are loosely conducted; and
are therefore just the place for the
trickster to get fulcrum for his politi-
cal lever to pry to his selfish advantage.
Judicious rivalry in official aspirations
is all we'll enough; but the public spir
tied citizen consults first the public
good, after that the benefit of individ-
nails. This day Saturday the primary
meetings of the two political parties will
be held in the several precincts through
out the county, Let no voter stay at
home from these meetings. I: matters
not to which party you belong, go and
discharge your political duty. Dis
charge it to the best of your ability, and
then hereafter if there is cause for com
plant at the final result you can say, 81
did the best l could and am not re-
sponsible for the failure
