ii The Washington, Chronicle is becom-
Ing seriously alarmed in view OF the
fact that ''of the 100000 illiterate
voters In the United States .7oO, 900 are
in the Southern States" and the Gin
cinnati Enquirer reminds that staunch
Republican journal that "ssven-t tenths
Of these illiterate voters are RepubliT
cans" Indeed, the sole reliance OF the
Republican party in the South has al
ways rested on the ignorance OF the
colored voters and the ease with which
they have been duped. These voters
are now, however. becoming distrustful
Of their former guides, and having grown
somewhat In political knowledge are
inclined to assert their Independence.
The more ignorant they were the more
solidly they voted the Republican ticket
In the past, and the more readily they
acquiesced In Republican frauds. See
ing the consequence OF such action on
their part, they are now ready to nnlearn
what they first learned amiss. and to
that end are joining their white neigh.

The State tax In Monroe county. State
Of New York, In tho last year Of Gov.
Dix . administration, was $277. .529. Mr..
Tilden has not yet been Governor for
two years, but the State tax In that
county this year Is only tlA5,623, where
by sum Of $l3l, ,9O6, or nearly the half
OF the sum levied under Gen. Dix, re-
mains where It will do the most good,
in the pockets OF the citizens Of Monroe.
In the county Of Westchester, in the
same State, the State tax In the last year
OF Gov, Dix's administration, was
$45O, ,495 03; it has In the second year Of
Gov. Tilden's administration fallen to
$ls4,s44 SO, making clear saving to
the people OF that county Of 1886, $50 81.
The farmers and property holders in
Livingston county, In the same State,
paid In 1874 In taxes to the State $10l,-
354 "a. In less than two years under
Gov. Tilden's administration these
taxes have been reduced nearly fifty
Per cent, or to e52. .eS8 80. et

The New York Tribune tells us how
vigorously 'ex- Postmaster Jewell has
campaign work, and how emphatically
he has made reform the leading issue.
In this connection our. contemporary
adds: The only question for voters
is, as to which side Is likely to bring
about genuine reforms, and this must
be judged from the records and the
candidates., sss s.sasy5 +ass aet,,arr "a s
From such an argument no comfort
can come to the Hayes and Wheeler
ticket. The difference between Tilden
and Hayes may be thus set down ;
While the first Is a positive and pro-
nounced reformer. clear in his thoughts
and unflinching In his action, his oppo.
nent is negative man, who accepts the
traditions Of party precedent as guide,
and would. il elected. carry the princi-
pies OF Grantism throughout all the
issues Of q new administration. @s-
jewell may not say In 80 many words
that he is in favor of Tilden, but his
speeches say SO in effect. His own ex-.
pcrience shows that the Grant Admin.
istration is opposed to reform, and that
the Republican party 10 incapable Of

The great Arm Of A. r. Stewart & Co..
We learn from the Chicago Times. OF the
2Oth inst. have perfected their arrange
ments to open, An immense branch OF
their house In Chicago between the ist
OF September and the LIST Of October.
The leases for the stores were signed on
the 18th Inst. aud the firm have agreed
to keep q stock Of goods constantly on
hand valued Ut not less than two mil
lions OF dollars. The Times says:
"The Wilder block Is leased for five
years from the lst Of January, the Drake
building for Ave years from the lst OF
Oatober, and the Rothbant building also
for five years from the LIST Of October.
A. 7. Stewart Il Co. are to pay 5000 a
year for the Drake block. $1,000 year
for the Wilder block. and $4,000 a year
for the Rothbant block. All the prop
erty owners In the vicinity have clabbed
together and subscribed $1,000 year for
five years, $4,000 year OF which is to go
to Drake, and the other $4,000 a year to
pay for the necessary fitting up and
finishing OF the Wilder block"
It would seem from this that the
property holders Of Chicago have a
healthy appreciation OF the Importance
to their city Of displaying liberal spirit
towards those who purpose to invest
large capital In the business interests Of
their city. sr sdf H4a5lq sttpatI
