MS measure OF Jealous economy is par
ticularly praiseworthy in view of the
fact that there are now on the city's
pay roll Ala officials drawing salaries Of
$4,000, or over, some as high as Sl5,-
600, for doing loafing more or less
heavy according to circumstances. A
large proportion of these self sacrificing
statesmen wear rich brogue, and know
about as much about the duties of the
positions whose salaries they draw as
might be expected under the circum-
stances Feeling the popular pressure
for retrenchment, they have nobly de-
termined among themselves that the
public demand shall be satisfied even if /
it becomes necessary to cut down to
nothing the pay of these bloated aristo-
crats-the school teachers-who now
enjoy princely revenues of some five or
six hundred dollars year. Of course
it won't do to interfere with the salary |
of Pat this or Mike that, who having
shown surprising talent as voter of
the ''sthrate tickit" and general election
worker now holds his position as re-
ward for his services, SO they wreak
their economy on class who are of no
value whatever at polls or primaries.

agitation of Mr.. Lords expected heirs,
who have been and still are working
desperately to have him declared insane,
that they may get hold of the property
which they fear his young and pretty
wife will otherwise possess. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lord have been supposed to be out
of town since they vanished on their
wedding day, and have been sought for,
} high and low, in all the neighboring
cities. Now, however, they suddenly
emerge from their retirement, and 1t
turns out that they have been quietly in
: their house all the time. Mr.. Lord says
they secluded themselves mainly on &C
t count of the threats of his sons, which
D extended even to taking the life of his
: new wife. The old gentleman has now
t concluded that forbearance has ceased tc
