MONROE COUNTY is the most posi-.
lively Democratic district in the state.
In 1876 it cast 8 ,2sO votes for Tilden and
776 for Hayes. This year out of Zoo
expected votes Hancock will get 3, 400
In Monroe county there is no poorhouse
and no need of any; they have Jail but
seldom anybody in it. The Democrats
over there make no nomination fol
county offices. The contest is open to
all, and half a dozen Democrats can run
for any county Office at the general cleo
tion without fear of letting Republican
slip in. The district attorney sometime:
holds a quarter sessions court without
framing single indictment. The man
ners and morals of the Bull Ringers and
Hog Ringers here would be vastly i'm
proved if they could sojourn for a season
among the hills of Monroe and partake
of the undefiled religion and unadulter
ated whisky of that region.

and hypocriticalj that there is not particle
OF truth IN them; that the war which thew
arc waging against tho Sabbath laws, and
against the men who uphold tho Sabbath
is war simply for the greed of gain, on
their own part, and for the sake Of popu-
larity with tho Sabbath breaking classes.
1t is sad to SEQ educated and Influential
mou, instead of leading tho people to a
higher drgreo of intelligence and virture,
thus pan!der,nos to the popular prcjudices
and misleading the vicious classes. In
their lnmost conscenccs they know it is
wrong. They know, for they have been
taught it form their youth by godly ances--
tors, that the day of sacrad rest Is an cs.
scntal part of pure religion, and that such
day is as essential to our couptr,'s best
welfare as it is to religion. But for tho
greed OF money, or the loaves and fishes OF
partisan politics. they stoop to this fearful
iniquty Of uphoiding the wrong, kuow-
ing it to be wrong. Such men ought to
trcmblo Tor the future when they think of
the responsibility they arc taking before
God and men. In the language of thc
Bible, they have learned to frame mischief

The Mule.

Nor North, nor South, nor West, nor East
Can fortune find another beast
Gut out by such GROSS grained rule
AS marked tho making of the mule.
Two ears like hairy winu mill sails;
Tho most absurd Of curious tails;
A hoof to mark each lightning paw;
A voico like the filing Of saw;
An eye that sccmcth calm and kind,
That sees for half milo behind.
And never fails-with gIauces quick
TO guido the we'll directed kick,
That lays tho luckless driver low
Aud whelms him with its weight of VOC.
Ho lives on thistlcs, weeds and sticks,
With stubborn spells and trcless tricks
Caught up in natures sIyest school,
Whoro mischief fills the faithful mule
With arts that mock at human rule.
They say that mules can never die
Are never hungry, never dry
Can live on sin and simple song
And spend their time the whole day long
Contriving tricks, or skIful plan
TO grind with grief the soul of man.
Nor do they mind how i'll they fare,
So they but cheat his watchful care,
And knock him over everywhere.

The revenue Of The government during
the fiscal year 1870 80, collected in the
custom houses, was $lSG,522 ,06l, or about
S35,O00,0OO more than Secretary Shcrman's s
estimate The total revenue of the year
was 1888 526, 6,Gl0, or S75,52G,Gl0 above
the treasury estimates. The surplus of re
ccipts over expenditures during the year
was S65,8S3 ,G53. These satisfactory
figures are for the year ending with Jun
30, 1880. The receipts since that time
have been very large. so largo that con.

Mayor Dawson VIII Veto the Resolut on
and Give the Reason.
Mayor Dawson slipped away from the mad
dening crowd yesterday morning and held q
seance with himself in his private Office at the
city hall. The season was strictly private, no
one being present but his honor, who wrestled
with the proceedings of the last meeting of
the council. The door was closed against in
truders, but the sensitive olfactories of GLOBE
reporter shifted the aroma of q veto or two, and
the scribe took a commanding position on the
door knob to await developments. The latch
string was finally dropped, and the pencil fiend
ambled into the sanctum, where q pleasant
conversation ensued with the mayor. It is
understood, said the Faber manipulation. that
your honor is about to veto the resolution
passed at the last meeting of the council, ap.
pointing i've additional policemen to the force.
The resolution will be vetoed, was the reply,
and shall give my reasons in a communication
to be submitted at the next meeting of the
council. ~
Observing copy of the charter aud general
laws spread before his honor the scribe called
attention to the statute and inquired if the
reasons aforesaid might not be given to the
public through their organ, the DAILY GLOBE.
Mayor Dawson replied that he should prefer
to withhold his reasons until they could be Of
fciallv submitted to the council, but he init
mated that the principal reason was that there
existed no urgent demand forl extra officers,
and that the hue and cry was made by those
who were anxious to get on the force. His at
tention was then called to phillipic in the cur
rent issue of the double ender. The mayor
stated that he had read the article, and that he
had no doubt but that it had been written by q
disappointed applicant for position on the
force.
