Poor Carl ScLurz has swallowed himself

Poor Carl Schurz has swallowed himself
once too often, and does not sit easily on
his own stomach. The Associated Press
does not think his speeches worth tele-
graphing, and they pass unregarded even
of the Cincinnati Gazette. The Cleveland
Wachter an Erie, which led last year the
bolt of hard money Germans that defeated
Allen, criticises mercilesslg the Grafton
and the orator, declaring the former to be
bald ana lacking earnestness and the latter
to display mental decadence and lack q
conviction. We thought that as an advo
cate of carpet bagsery and rag-money Mr..
Schurz would hardly rise to his usual
level as sophist, and the event justifes
our belief. What pity, too, that he
should have his labor for his pains.
True, Mr.. Hayes has promised him seat
in the cabinet, but then Mr.. Hayes wont
be elected; and if he were, he would not
give Mr.. 'Schurz a gauger's place. Mr..
Hayes assures US over his own signature
that he deeply sympathizes'' with a
movement for. IAN amendment limiting
suffrage to persons born in this country
or of American parents, }" and the choice
of American born citizens only to official
position" Mr.. Schurz had better an.
nounce this to bis German brethren and
prevent them from being caught with
chaff as he has been.

The $4,000 Tax Lew.

1HE ARGUS last evening explained the
manner of assessing the tax levy of SlO,-
900 recently agreed upon by the board of
highway commissioners, and stated that
the city was ahead of IFS estimates on ac-
count of not having deducted the amount
to DE received from the highway commits
| sioners when making the levy for the city
Alderman Grant, informs the writer of
| this that the mistake is not the fault of the
city council but of the board of highway
commissioners, as Com'rs Grenell and
Harwood informed him that no levy would
be made this year; that several members
| of the council went to the house of the
late Comr. Grenell and were informed by
him and also by Comr. Harwood, that nc
tax levy would be made this year; that
had the board of highway commissioners
gave notice to the council the mistake
wonld not have occurred.
| The city authorities, according TO this,
are not to blame if an over estimate has
been made. 1t seems clearly to be the
fault of the highway com nissoners tor
neglecting to inform the aldermen OF the
proposed levy. There would appear
Ito be no reason to find fault
with the council; the only difference it
will make will be a slight increase in taxa
ton for this year and corresponding de-
crease next year. The board of highway
commissioners having determined to put
| through the Pleasant Valley road, evident,
" caused the levy. This measure was op-
posed, lodged, evaded, technicalize1 and
postponed from time to time, with the
hope, no doubt, that the public would for
get all about it, and by that means a
private clique would be served and public
interests made subservient The pressure
was too great, however, and at last, forced
as it were to open the road, the tax levy
had to be made. This is why the double
levy was made. and about all the reason
the board of highway commissioners had
for delaying the estimates The city wait
ed until it could wait no longer, and then
went ahead and made the city levy. The
public can now draw their own conclusions.

The HORTICULTURAL FAIR. The
Horticultural Fair opened at Institute
Hall. last evening, with large attend
ance. The arrangements of the Hall
are quite artistic, and the display of
fruits and flowers fully equals that of
former years. Refresments were served
in abundance TO all who desired them,
and every effort was made by those in
charge of the fair to secure the comfort
and convenience of those in attendance.
The fair continues this and to morrow
evening.
In regard to decorations, unusual
pains have been taken with this ex.
hibition, and the hallpresents beauti-
full array of evergreens and flowers.
The lemonage grove, on the stage, has
been arranged into numerous little
hooks and recesses, with accommoda-
tions for two or three persons in each.
The flower stand, in the centre of the
hall, is octagonal in shape and is sur
mounted by eight evergreen arches.
each of which is beautifully decorated
with flowers and hanging baskets. The
Home Table, where fancy articles are
sold, the Centennial Table, where cakes
and fruits are dispensed, and the re-
staurant, where refreshments are pro-
vided, are each beautifully decorated
with festoons of evergreens. The
list of committees was completed last
night, but lack of space prevents
their publication in our columns to-

ton visited Hallett's Point OH Monday and
said to reporter that he could not see
how the great explosion of Sunday could
have been more successful. He could not
account for the fact that the water was OF
of much greater depth than they had all
thought it would be, unless the rock had
been broken into smaller pieces than
they had expected. There are still S223,
600 left of the He'll Gate appropriation,
the greater part ofwhich will be exhausted
in all probability in making the conclud-
ing improvements at Hallett's Point. Mr..
Stredinger, the electrician, said that from
his own observations, taken on Monday,
he had discovered that the widening OF
the channel-by the destruction of the
pillars of the roof of the reef, which re-
mained when they We're ready to blast
had altered the direction of the current
and decreased its velocity. Since the eN-
plosion many vessels had boldly passed
close to the shore, following course
which would have grounded them on the

TRAMPs KNOCK MAN DOWN IN CHRIS.
TIANA HUNDRED, AND BEAT HIM FOR
NOT HAVING MUCH MONEY.
Yesterday morning James Harris, a
resident of Newport, left his house
about 4:30 o'clock. for the purpose of
going to the farm of John Chattan. in
Mill Creek Hd., where he had agreed
to put up fence. He had. just passed
beyond the town limits, on the road
leading to the Brandywine Springs,
when he met two tramps, whom he
saluted with "good morning"
Ia response one of the men knocked
him down with a violent blow and
then held his mouth closed while the
other tramp rifled the pockets of the
PROSTATE man and stole his pocket.
book. Fortunately the book contain
ed but twenty-five cents. on discover
ing which the tramps cursed Mr..
Harris violently for not having more
money, and beat him until he was
almost insensible. Meanwhile he cal
led loudly for assistance, and Penrcse
Lyman and VIM. Hilyard, who hap
pened to be near, responded to his
cries, when the tramps ran away with
all their speed, in the direction of the
Folly Woods.
The two men helped Mr.. Harris te
his home, and DR.. Swithin Chandlel
attended to his injuries, which consis
ted of severe, but not dangerous
bruises: He will be confined to hi!
house for several. days.
1t seems that marauding tramps are
still scattered over the county, and
farmers should keep a sharp lookout
for them.
