Our City Tax Rate.

The Democratic City Council hav'
again made show of economy by cut
ting down the tax rate from $l.l5 Il
$l.10 per one hundred dollars. TIT
| $34, 900 surplus In 1879 enabled then
to reduce the tax rate to $l.15, and this
year the $23, 900 surplus in the Board
of Education has enabled them to cul
it down to $40. Economy is always
comm nndable and should be strictly
adhered to, but there is kind Of
economy that runs in at the spiggot
and runs out at the bung-hole, and it
is to be feared that much Of the boosted
economy of the City Council is Of that
peculiar kind. While it has been the
effort Of the City Council TO reduce the
rate of taxation down to the lowest
percentage it must not be forgotten that
all city .improvements!are stopped ex-
cept repairs to the city water works,
which are imperative and must be made.
1t has not been long since the "Ga-
Estte" the organ Of the majority in the
City Council was clamorous for the op-
ening of Christiana avenue to the
river and the erection of wharves on
the Delaware, but since the Democrats
have been in power in Council its voice
is strangely, mysteriously hushed.
Could Republican Council have been
induced to undertake the work and the
expense it, would have been satisfied,
ss then it could have made some po-
litical capital, at the expense of the
The time however has
come when this avenue should be op-
ensd down to the river. The business
interests of the city demand it, and
now when labor is cheap is the time to
do it. A little higher rate of taxation
would have afforded the means of do
ing the work and would besides have
given employment to many unemployed
persons. If the avenue were opened
fine costly residences and manufactures
would be erected, the value of taxable
property would be increased and in the
end would result in lowering taxation
instead of increasing it. Had the COM
nittee so desired, they might have re-
luced the tax-rate to enc dollar en- the |
hundred dollars by curtailing other
needed repairs and then Democrat c
might have appeared in more
light, but this does not i'm
prove the city, enhance the value of
and give work to laboring
men. We are not the advocates of
1igh rate of taxation, but we want to
Zee sufficient raised to keep the city in
rood repair and have a littls left each
year to expend in opening avenues,
building wharves or whatever elsa con-
1uoes to the increased value Of proper.
y and to the prosperity Of the city.

Awake awake! in sweetest strain;
Touch the hcart-strings, touch them now
Let them tremble once again.
Let their Notes be pure and holy,
Let them sound with magic tune;
Let them soar up to the hill-tops,
Let their cadence reach the moon.
Orpheus slumb'ring god Of music,
Rouse thee ! call your Eurydice:
Let her to our music list.

Let them hear the melody;
Let it course throughout the wel1Sin,

Lebasi the faircst damscl,
Purest maid on this green earth;
Queen by nature yet as doeile
AS lambkn after birth.
Eyes Of bright and heavenly lustre,
Sparkling like the noon-day sun;
Cheeks as fair as alabaster,
Has this lovely, peerless one.
Voice as calm, as mild and placid
AS the murnuring Of tile brook,
AS it gently flows and ripples
Through Il cozy little nook.
Let the Poets sing and blustcr
Bout their Leila and Haidcc;
None are pnrcr, none are nobler,
None more grand than Lebasi.
When she strays among the flowcrs,
Down the pebbled walks and green,
Look they up in mlldest rapture,
Seemingly to greet their queen.
When she's near, the little songstcrs
With their music seem more free;
They are happy, they arc joyous,
When her beauteous face they see.
Thus it Is, and thus it will be
Whilst the goddess stays down here
Surely one so grand and stately
Would adorn IL celestial sphere.
But we can not can not spare her,

The resignation Of Senator Gordon
Of Georgia has been the sensation of
the week. He had before him nearly
FIVE years of unexpired Senatorial
term, and his voluntary departure
from such Il position is almost with
out precedent in the history of the
Senate. Senator Christiancy resigned
his seat, but it was to secure more
lucrative office after his Senatorial
term bad more than half expired
Henry Clay resigned near the end of
his term, because of political disap-
pointmcnts and declining years, but,
finding private life monotonons, he
was again re- elected. General Gordon
assigns as /. reason for his resignation
that his sa larry is inadequate to the
demands of public life in Washington,
and that he has reached that period
of life when he Can no longer delay
making provisions for old age.
The Influence Of millionaire states
men, and the social splendor that has
prevailed in Washington since the
war can not but be regretted. 1t is
no exasgeration to say that majori
ty of members Of Congress might live
in Washington with more elegance
and comfort than surrounded them in
their districts with half the salary they
now receive. But the imperious de-
mands Of an artificial social life, to
say nothing of IN INDECENT coDstitu
ency, always at his heels, make fri ght-
full inroads on his yearly pay. ! know
one member who saved four fifths of
his salary, but lie made a twenty dol
lar suit eff clothes last him through
two sessions, and he never indulged
in the extravaganza of neck tic.
After looking over tile whole field
tile prospect is not fair for an adjnvn-
ment on the 3lst. To accomplish it
both houses will have to devote them :
selves assiluously to the appIopria-
ton bills alone, and must sacrifice all
other subjects of general legislation
| including the tariff bills. the funding
bills. the Inter State Commerce bill,
| the Ute bill, the subject Of Chinese
immigration. the payment Of pensions
! to Mexican soldiers and soldiers oi
| the late war, the Carlisle revenue
bill, The questions relating to the
count Of the electoral vote, etc. Il
seems to be very generally conceded
that if Congress does not get away
until after the Chicago convention
that tile session will then be pro
longed several weeks.
The passage of the appropriation
bill is an indispensable prerequisite
to adjournment Of Congress. As5pm
ing that tile House was il earnes

on the 3lst was adopted, they hav'
remaining just seven working days
