A BAD HOUSE FOR BURGLARS,

RoW Mr. BEKCHHR, OR HIS WIFI, OR HIS
CHILDREN, WOULD RECEIVE THEM
From the n. Y. World.
"Mr. Beecher," said the reporter.
''you have read The account Of the kill
ing OF burg lar by Captain Richards, of
the Seventh Regiment. What do you
think Off it?'
Entirely justifable !" answered Mr..
Be-ch-r, with emphasis.
"Suppose you found burglar in YOUR
house at night; what would you do?''
"Shoot him quick as hghtningw ex-
| claimed the clergy man, almost tiercely."
Any man who, from motives Of personal
safety, allows burglar to walk through
his house with impunity not only acts In
a cowardly manner, but violates one of
| the most sacred duties he owes to tn.
community. Every mans house is his
| castle. not only to 1--we in, but to defend,
| regard him who fails to defend 1t In
the same light as l would soldier who

whal could burglar get by coming into
my house? The things he could psthel
up and carry of are such as he could no

he would risk his life for that? No. in

lHEY WON'T VOTE because they can
not do it without first paying a tax which
the constitution requires from every clti.
zen as prerequisite. That is the patri-
otlc reason why the Republicans abstain
from the polls and let the Democrats
carry the elections in Delaware. Tha, is
the case, reasoning from the Republican
STANDPOINT, as their party organ in this
city claims majority OF two thousand
voters i'll the State. All over the State
there appears to be class of voters who
place their hands ON their hearts. and.
heaying a deep sigh, say, 81 can't vote
because the Democrats struck my name

did not pay my tax last year" Well.

you had gore to the Levy Court and
asked to be assessed. "Well, yes." Now
the constitution was made by the wbio
party politicians OF the John N. Clav,on
stripe, and if the Republicans will no,
vote because they cannot do it w;tbo,,
hrst pay ing a tax, they should blame tbe

same property in Boston might be valued
at 25 or 80 per cent. more than they are
worth; or, If ins Baltimore or Philadel-
phia, might be assessed at their actual
cash value or even less. 1t is often said
that our city taxes are as high, including
the county and poll tax, as the taxes OF
Philadelphia. But we do not think so
nor do we think they are any higher than
the tax in Boston. We believe our city
and county tax rate is just about as much
below the Philadelphia tax rate as it is
shown to be ih the above figures. Ours
is S1.6S on the 500, and Philadelphia
s.. % on the 800.

The Arkansas House of Delegates ad-
journed yesterday afternoon without
communicating their intention to the
Governor or asking the joint action of
the Senate. This action was regarded
as unconstitutional, but, as the legal
limit of the session was II o'clock last
night, it will and as final adjourn
ment. The Senate remained in session
several hours longer. 1t is supposed the
Senate's action IN defeating the sweep
ing reductions in salaries of State officers
proposed by the House is the cause OF the
snub.

S. d. FIELDS, superintendent Of the
Electric Light Company, of San Fran
cisco, has combined the principle of
several electric machines so as to work
the electric light and telegraph wires at
the same time. Yesterday in the Wes-
tern Union telegraph office in San Fran
cisco, one of his machines worked fifteen
different circuits, varying from 100 to
4S0 miles in length including one "du-
plex" circuit 1893 miles long. This is the
first successful experiment of the kind.

JOHN SHERMAN, the. Secretary OF the
Treasury, under whose.direcion about
thirty millions of the "trade dollars"
were coined and put in circulation, now
has the impudence to say these dollals
are not money, and be thus subjects all
the people who have them in their bands
to loss of about two per cent. Where
did the United States mint Get the
power to issue anything that was not
money? The trade dollars have all the
silver IN them necessary to make a dol
lar; they have the words II United States
OF Americas" and "Trade Dollar" STAMP
ed ON them. They were issued to repre-
sent the country at home and abroad.
and 1t Will be held to be dec, ption and
cheat TO both the citizen and the foreipn-
er, II the gyernment refuses to accent its
own coin issued tor collar to be us.d
as such among the tradespeople. Mr..
Sherman was authorized to coin and cir.
culate the leeal-tender silver dollars
but he hands them all over to the banL
and sends the trade dollars among H.,
people, and tLen depreciates them j,

FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL DISTRESS IN
Enthusiastically in no city of Europe
is there so much financial and social dis
tress to-day as in Berlin. The milliards
which Germany exacted from France af-
ter the war and Its becoming the Imperi-
al capital would, 1t Is thought, greatly
benefit the city but tJust the contrary has
happened. Things seem, in the last eight
years, steadily to have grown from bad
to worse. Apart from the number of un-
employed persons there estimated at
50,000-hundreds and hundreds of men
have been ruined by speculation, and
there is more or less suffering among all
classes. Well educated citizens who be-
fore the war had incomes of SO, 900 to 10,
900 marks. who Jared sumptuously and
were among the envied of society, are
now impoverished and compelled to earn
a pittance by acting as legal copyists.
Prices of living have rapidly increased,
and Berlin is now one OF the most ex-
pensive and least satisfactory of the old
world capitals. This is partly owing to
the great increase Of population, ana the
difficulty of getting houses at anything
like reasonable rates. There are now, it
Is reported, more than ,0O0, 900 souls in
the city, an augmentation since 1871 OF
200 900, and since 1861 of SOC, 900. On ac
count Of the enormous rents, vast mum
bers have been driven to abide undel
ground, fully one tenth of the entir,
population, or 100000, being crowded to
gether in cellars In way that is mos
huruul to them physically and morally.
