The ordinance introduced into the Conf
mon Council at the instance of Commissioner
Waller, making change in the manner of
collecting the water-tax, should receive
prompt attention and active support in the
Interests OF both the people and the City
Government. The water-tax is payable semi
annually, the 1st of May and the 1st of No
Vember. The past practice of the city has
been to nominally assess penalty for non-
payment during these months, and to hold II,
te7Torc7n over the heads of those in default
the threat OF shutting off the water. In real
lty, the city has supported large number of
people for the purpose of drumming up the
payment Of Sater-rates in arrears. The tax
payers, as rule, postpone payment till the
last days Of the month in which the tax is
oue' large numbers wait until they are
dunned in person, In the expectation that
they will be able to coax or bully the Col
iector into an abatement of the penalty; and
the lncorrlgibles, who never pay any
thtng they can avoid, delay until their
"ater-supply is actually cut off. The
practical operation of this system has been
to delay and emba1rass the collection Of the
"ater-tax, and to impose upon the people an
, 1880-02-15

current. And yet there is large stock Of
regrets on hand. Some people have reason
to regret the money they have expended
either in giving parties or going to parties.
Others have reason to regret that they have
not been able to collect the bills incurred
for party expenses. a great many re-
gret that they caught colds while
waiting in thin garments for carriages
that were more expensive and less
accommodating than the streetrcars. 4 few
will regret, on reflection, the cozy evenings
they might have spent at their own tiresides,
or the more liberal enjoyment Of reading,
music, and the theatre, which less devotion to
society would have given them. 4 very. very
few will regret money that has been sQuan-
dered because 1t might hare been employed
more usefully or more charitably. And
thinking people generally will regret the
time that could have been more nationally
and satisfactorily used. These and manifold
other regrets will not be in vain If they shall
last over till next season and remind the
people who have the necessary means for
society pleasures that there are other and
more congenial methods for entertaining
and being entertained than that Of crowding
several hundred people into one house, and
imposing upon them the monotonous con-
comitants of large party.

Mr. MARSHALL, the Cashier Of the First
National Bank OF 1iddletown, O., who left
that place suddenly about ten days ago, and
was subsequently, found in Milwaukee, has
returned to his former home. It will be re-
mcmbered that Mr.. Marshall gave as the
cause Of his leaving 31iddletown the fact
that he was being prosecuted by man
named Langdon, to whose sister the impress
sib1e Cashier wrote letter while absent
from home last summer. The epist1e fell
into tie brothers hands, and, as Marshall
asserts, he endearored to use it as means
ofextorttng money from its unhappy author.
After Marshall's recent departure from Mid
dletown it was ascertained TINT he was
accompanied as far as Chicago By Miss
Langdon, the lady returning the next day,

THE WOES OF PUBLIC DONORS,

The London Spectator deyotes one OF its
characteristic papers to donors difficulties.
As the subject is universal in its bearings,
and donors and their difficulties exist every
where, it will have an interest here as we'll
as in England. It is a kind Of day-dream
nearly all men have who have not much
money, that If they were rich they would be
very liberal, not only taking care OF all their
poor relatives, but banishing distress wher-
ever they found it, and making scores or
hundreds OF human beings happy with their
largess- To all this the cynlc Of the Spectator
replies: You will never give away much at
time, nor will you give very often. What
ever your wealth, You will never seem rich to
yourself; nor will your. expenses and the
claims on you ever cease to mount, until
you find that your true surplus, the money
which you can spend either on yourself OF
your neighbors without reason assigned, the
surplus cash, is proportionately no larger
than before. You will not give away your
principal, lest you should want 1t; nor your
income, because you do want It; and your
odds and ends of money are always too con-
veItent to be parted with"
The most discouraging feature of phiIan-
thropy to one Inclined in that direction Is
the personal discomfort in which he Is
placed by it. AS soon as it is known that he
has made gift, OF is literally inclined, be is
Immediately besieged by the multitude. The
charities lay their claims before him. Impe-
cumous people Of every possible description

him that the writer's hare special claims mon

extra burden for enforcing it which materl-

extra burden for enforcing it which mabell-
ally reduces the water-revenue.
Mr.. Waller now proposes to substitute LOT
the present unsatisfactory plan the methoa
| which the gas companies adopted long since
and have pursued with success. IL Is pfo-
posed to offer premium for prompt payment
instead OF announcing penalty Tor delay.
This is correct in principle, for there Is more
attraction in present gain than in the avoid
ance Of some possible loss in the future AL
people are stimulated by the promise OF an
actual saving, while the threat Of loss has
terror for only the most prudent and frugal.
Mr.. Waller proposes that those who pay their
Water-tax promptly in May and November
shall receive rebate Of 10 per cent; that
payment in the following month Of June or
December shall entit1e the payer to re-
bate OF only S per cent, or half as much;
and that delay beyond this period shall
involve not merely forfeiture OF
all rebate, but the danger OF having the
water-supply shut off summarily from those
in default. The water-rates are to remain
the same as they are now, so that those who
pay promptly will make saving upon the
present tax; at the same time, it is estimated
that there will be no loss Of revenue, because
there will be saving to the city Of the pres
ent cost in dunning the deiinquents. In ad-
dition to thus equa1izing the cost OF collec-
ton with the proposed reduction by rebate,
the City Government will be the gamer by
the prompt receipt Of its revenue, and the
taxpaying community as whole will bene-
fit by an actual saving Of from s to 10 per
cent upon the present aggregate Of water
assessments. While the principle is obvi-
ously correct, the new system has the addf-
tional recommendation Of having been tested
in practice BY the gas companies, who have
found that they can much better afford re-
bate upon their charges with prompt collec-'
ton OF their bills than the exaction Of the full
rates at the virtual pleasure Of the consumer.
Commissioner Waller's ordinance should be
adopted so that it may go into operation next

| thought of such thing; and, what with the
potent influence Of the barrel in Democratic
| Convention, composed, as 1t will be, of dele
gates as hungry as wolves during snow
storm, the story of his monumental :"
wrongs, the record of his former services to
the party, and his grievances against such
traitors as Kelly, he will doubtless make it
interesting for Seymour in the Convention,
and after, should Seymour obtain the nonli-
nation.
MI. Tilden may claim the sacred and time
honored Democratic privilege Of bolting, or
the dearer Democratic privilege Of "puttlng
up job''-to use Bourbon expression
his successful rival. He may with truth
say that he owes little to the Democracy.
The barrel carried him through the last Con-
yention and the last election, and if he had
less maladroit nephew, or a more stalwart
manager, he might now be dispensing the
patronage of the post-offlces, custom-houses,
and such with as lavish hand as did our
own Carter bestow streetrforemanships, side
walk-inspectorships, and memberships
to the faithful and the unwashed.
With the knowledge Of this feeling and In
tention on the part of Tilden, the Democrats
have relapsed into their former state Of
gloomy foreboding, unfulflled expectancy,
and sulphurous expression. There was some
hope that with Seymour they could make a
decent show Of fight, if Tilden remained
neutral. John Kelly, whose presence In
Democratic councils seems to have the same
effect on Mr.. Tilden as the traditional red
rag on the male bovine, was to be kept in the
background, the people were to be assured OF
numberless reforms aud strict economy, and
fye-sixths of the party were to be promised
office under Democratic regime. Ti1den,
however, has neither withdrawn nor mar
ried, and the Democracy are einconsolable and
perplexed; their hopes have faded like 'sDead
Sea fruits that tempt the eye but turn to
ashes on the lips" and the post-offce chairs
and custon-house desks and the Washing
ton stools have faded from Democratic eyes
like the "baseless fabric OF a vision and
all because OF the old of-the- -sea4lke grip
which sly Sammy holds on the Bourbons,
or because. OF the peryersity Of the many
maids and widows who have given the ambi-
tious and amorous bachelor the mitten.
