Hard .Cimes ~ IslO-.2O.

People who complain so much of the
existing "hard tines would do well TO
read the following from Benton's Thirty
Years Recollections." He says;
"Thc years Of 1919 and 1920 were per
iod Of gloom and agony. No money
either gold or silver; no paper convert BILE
into specie; no measure OF standard OF
value left remaining. The local banks, all
but those of New England, after brief
resumption of specie payments, again
sank into q state OF suspension. The
Bank of the United States, created as a
remedy for all these evils, now at the
head of the evil, PROSTATE and helpless,
with no power left but that of suing its
debtors and selling their property, and
purchasing for itself at its own nominal
price.
No price for property or produce /; no
sales but those OF the sheriff and mar
shal; no purchaser at the execution
sales but the creditor or some hoarder
of money 10 employment for industry
no demand for labor; no sale for the pro-
but that of the aucnoneer knocking
down property. Stop-laws, property
laws, the replevin-laws, siay-laws, loan
ofiice-laws, the Intervention of Legisla-
ture between the creditor aud the debtor
this was the business of Legislation
in three-fourths of the States OF the
Union-of all south and west of New
England. No medium Of exchange, but

WE EXPECT the Democrats OF Louisi-
ana, Florida and South Carolina to alter
the Return Board laws made by the
Radical State Legislatures. But we pre-
sume the Returning Boards are now ex-
ercising their right to throw oIt enough
votes to elect their friends. The scream
of Mr.. Bisbee for L. S. marshals has
been heard all the way to Washington.
But Mr. Hayes would be the last man
we should suppose who would so back on
the power Of the Florida "Retun
Board.' Doub less this Board will adj
nit they threw out votes, and ask, 'Nhat
are you going to do about it ~ 1t is in
accordance with the law by which you
were fraudulently put into the Presiden.
tial chair. "What is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander."
Will our friends of the Republicdr
have us in Delaware enact Florida Re
publican Return Board law, or let ou
present laws remain? We are for ou
own laws but perhaps the Republican
would prefer the Florida statute.

The EXPENSE Of managing city af-
fairs seem to have SO greatly increased
within the past ten or twelve years as to
alarm property-holders. And this in
crease has extended to cities in all parts
of the country. The small villages do
not appear to have been so much affected
by the prevailing rage for extravaganza.
The mischief had its origin in the infia-
ton of the currency-or the immense
paper issue by the General Government.
1t was very pleasant thing to dispense
patronage and delightful to be informed
of an increase Of fifty or hundred per
cent. in salaries. And while real estate
and personal property were booming up
at the same rate of advance little care
was given to economy. But we have
now been on the ebb-tide for several
years, and labor has sunk from the great
war prices to what would seem to be
bottom prices, and even small rents are
hard to be got hence high taxes on
property is felt to he extremely hard, and
their burden causes very general com
plant everywhere. 1t is not so easy tc
discharge office-holders and cut dowr
salaries, or to reduce the pay of influen
tial contractors to what they were befor,
the war. Hence the continued complain
about extravaganza. Before taxes ar,
reduced, expenses must be reduced. Tha
is settled fact. And the latter mus
precede the former. In our own city tn
lighting of the streets and public build
ings, it is said, costs twenty thousan
dollars when it ought not to exceed te
thousand.
Our public schools cost us too muc
money now. AS compared with thei
cost before the imitation of prices, this
glaringly apparent. The cost per capt.
is readily obtained by reference to til
reports of the late Hon. Willard Hal
and those made by the present Superb
tendent. The increase of expenditure
for teachers salaries and for all otbe

The Telephone in Germany.

We prophesied even better than we knew the other day when we said that the adOp- ton of so short name as "Fernsprecher" for the telephone by the Germans was matter of congratulation, because they would otherwise soon find way of smoth- ering it under some rightfully polysyllabic title. To show how closely the fortunate instrument has escaped this fate, a corres- pondent in Heidelberg writes us that no less than fifty-four names were proposed in German, all of varying degrees of length and atrocity. Some (we will not intiict the reader with the original titles) signifi- ed ''mile tongue" "kilometer tongue" speaking post" "word lightning," "world trumpet" and finally one inventor, collect ing all his energies for a grand effort, triumphantly produced "doppelstahlblech- zungensprecher."

lIontenegrin Marching.

In recent published account of the Montenegrin army, some details are given of extraordinary marches which have been made by its soldiers during the present war with Turkey. Before the battle of Butschidol, the force engaged had marched fourteen hours, across country, over hill and dale, having, moreover, previously been under arms for six hours. On this occasion the men had not tasted a mouth ful of food from day break until midnight; :; the day was intensely hot, the country traversed was mountainous and difficult, and yet not a man was left behind. When marching from place to place, the Monte negrins never follow the roads, but move straight across country. Although heav- fly laden the men easily climb the steepest rocks or descend the most precipitous slopes. Besides their weapons they carry invariably a "torba land "struka" Their arms consist usually of a rife, cutlass and revolver or brace of pistols. The torba, or bread bag, contains generally an enormous loaf of bread, biscuit, flask and 8 reserve of cartridges. The ammunition for immediate use, as well as money and other small articles, arc carried in belt. The struka is large, heavy plaid, which serves as cloak, rug or covering, When it rains and the army is halted, the soldier wraps up his head in his struka, rolls it round his body, puts his gun in its leather case and lies down and sleeps heed less of the weather.-[ Pail Mall Gazette.
