cellent officers and business-like dis
position of affairs, We want this year
an administration which will merely
maintain all we have gained and pay
the debts thus incurred. 1t is known
we have made considerable strides III
the way of public Improvement dur
ing few years past at large ex-
pense. The statement of this fact,
however, is no reflection whatever
upon the administrations which
enacted the measures adverted to, but
made, on the contrary, as basis ar
guing for change conforming with
the imperious behests of the times. 1t
is needed now to reduce the volume
of corporate taxation until the people
are better able to start agaiA toward
other needed improvements. At the
same time we cannot afford to lose the
ground gained; We must spend just
enough money to keep our improve
msnts up-no more.
The opinion Of the court Of appeals
reversing that of the Allesany county
circuit court in the cases of TIE State
and the American coal company
against the Consolidation coal COM
pany, will be announced to-day or
Monday, it is expected. This is evil
IDENTITY anticipatory of the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States in the granger cases, which
was expected to be given yesterday.
Upon this depends the ultimate dis
posal of the Consolidation case.

THE GROWTH OF CHILDREN.

The growth of children has been
made the subject of very ingenious
and original researches through some
25, 900 measurements of the children
in the public schools of Boston, by
Professor Bowditch, of the Harvard
Medical School. His own summary
of the most important results he has
obtained is as follows: "The growth
of children takes place in such way
that until the age of eleven or twelve
years boys are both taller and heav-
ier than girls of the same age, but
at this period of life girls begin to
grow very rapidly, and for the next
two or three years surpass boys of
the same age in both height and
weight. Boys and then acquire and
retain size superior to that of girls
who have now nearly completed their
full growth. Children born of
American-born parents are in Mas
sachusetts taller and heavier than
children of foreign-born parents, a
superiority which seems to depend
partly on the greater average comfort
in which such children live and
grow up, and partly upon differences
of race or stock. Pupils of Ameri-
can age at the public Latin school
and other higher schools are (appar-
emily for the same reasons) superior
in height and weight to the generali-
ty of boys of American parentage in
the public schools, and to English
boys of the non-laboring class at
tending publicSschools and universi-
ties, the superiority in weight being
as rule, more marked than that
in height"

BOYS COMPOsIrIoN ovRABI

There are four or five different
kinds of babies. There is the big
baby, the little baby, the white baby,
and the poodle dog, and there is the
baby elephant.
Most of these babies was born
in a boarding house, sept the baby
elephant :; l think he was born on a
railroad train, cause he allius car
RIGS his trunk with him.
A white baby is pootier nor a ele-
phant baby, but he can't eat so
much hay.
All the babies what / have ever
seen We e born very young, especially
the gal babies, and they can't none
of them talk the United States Ian
guage.
My father had-I mean my moth
er had baby once. 1t was not an
elephant baby; it was little white
baby; it coined one day when there
was nobody home, it was a funny
looking fellow, just like a lobster.
L asked my father was it boy
or girl, and he say he don't know
whether he was afather or a mother.
This little b..by has got two legs,
just like a monkey.
His name his Mariah.
He don't look like my father nor
my mother bnt he looks just like my
uncle Tom, cause the little baby
aint got no hair on his head.
One day l asked my uncle Tom
what was the reason he amt got no
hair and the little baby amt got no
hair. He says he don't l now 'cept
tfat the little baby was born so, that
he was marrieb man. One day
pulled a feather out of the old roost-
tail and | stuck itup the baby's nose
and it tickled him so he almost died.
1t was only bit of feather, and
| didn't see what he wanted to
make such fuss about itfor.
My mother said | ought'er be
ashamed of myself, and | didn't get
no bread on my butter for morn a
week.
One day the sheriff come in the
house to collect bill of nine dollars
for crockery. My father says he
"can't pay the bill," and the sheriff
say, "then | take something, "anC
he took look around the room an
he seed the little baby and he say
i All, ah | take this" and he pick.
ed up the little baby, and he wraI
him up in newspaper and he tax,
him away to the station-house.
Then my mother she commenced
to cry,an' my father, "Hush Mary
e Ann, that was all right. Don't yol
see how we fooled that fellow! Don
you see the bill for crockery was fo
nine dollars. and the little baby wa
only worth two and a half"
l think I'd rather be girl not
boy, cause when a girl gets whip
ping she gets it on her fingers, bu
when a boy gets licking he gets
all over.
l don't like babies very much anv
how, cause they make so much noise
D l never knew but one quiet baby
laud he died.

THE PEACEFUL TEN TIL.

To-day Is the tenth Of September, the
day on which, according to some OF
our newspaper contemporaries, the
miners of the Comstock we're to rise in
open rebellion, and by force of arms,
aud all that sort of thing, take possess
sion of the mines and ruthlessly eject
and drive out all miners working be-
low ground who did not or would
not belong to their organizs-
ton. Loudly did those editorial
alarmists proclaim against the threat.
ened terrible invasion, and frantically
did they call upon all the powers of
the Government for troops and all
other appliances Tor queliing the i'm
pending riot. That terrible tenth has
arrived, and all Is quiet as usual along
the Comstock; the miners are swing
ing their picks cheerily away down in
the deep levels among the porphyry,
the quartz seams. the clay streaks and
the rich ore bonanzas. No standing
armies with serried rows OF bayonets
are guarding the various mining
works against incendiary ~onslaughts
OF ferocious miners, and the only ex-
ira commotion is that Of the elements.
The miners were right in the stand
they took. 1t wan perfectly just and
OOLG0St tA8t Oil II ChJOy (A bno OChu
fits and privileges secured by the
Miners' Union should belong to
It and assist in its support. and
this was the only effective
measure they could adopt to ac-
complish the desired end. In the
famous resolutions they passed and
published In all the papers OF the day,
they called upon all miners working
along the great lode to join their or
ganization before the 10th of Septem-
Der, stating that on that day a commit
tee would examine the card OF every
ma who would go below the surface,
and that none except Superintendent
or fOremen would be permitted TO
20 down into the mines unless they
could show q card of membership or
application for membership in the
Union. The committee has been APP
pointed, the cards have been exam
ined, and hencef0rwar no miner ex-
cept members of the Miners Union
Will be permitted to work in the mines
of the Comstock. The work has been
accomplished quietly yet very effectu-
ally, with no collision or trouble. Our
miners are as much interested In the
welfare and protection of the mines
and mining works as are those who
own, manage and conduct them. The
Union Is controlled and directed by
sensible, practical, reasoning men, and
they knew just what they we're about
when they passed that arbitrary-look-
ing resolution. Long before the dsv
appointed tor the final elimination u
the issue, they had induced all the
miners worth employing to join their
orrsnization, and had held a meeting
