Sc empena el peri6 iico vecino en- lie
var al amino de los Sres. Alcsldes, con
explicaciones y smenazas, que en- dere-
cho son elegibles las dos terceras parties
del total de contribuyeutes en- las po-
blaciones de Puerto Rico mayores de
mil vecinos.
Suponiendo que ell vecino discuta de
buena f6, vamos disuadirle de gu sim
razOn.
En la Peninsula son e'ectores los veci-
nos que, reuuiendo las condolences ne
cesarias para clio, vengan psgando por
bienes propios a@guna Quota de- contribu
cion al Estado, y on Puerto Rico aque-
los contrlbuyentes que, teniendo los
mismos requisites que SO exigen, salts
fagsn mas de cinoo pesos por igual con-
cepto.
Esta modification produce la conse-
cuencis de que on el pueblo n. de la
Peninsula SON ELECTOREs los 300 con-
tribuyentes quo tlene y en- el de Puerto
Rico, que da igual nl nero de estos, So
10 10 son los 80 que, por psgar ouotss
mayores de cinco pesos, SON ELECToREs.
Luego dispone la Ley que &c las po-
blacionos N azores de- mil vacinos son
elegib'es los electores que ademas do lie
Var cuatro amos por 10 menos de resi-
dencia fiji on 81 termino municipal, pa.
guen (en la PAninsula) una Quota dilecta
de la que oomprendan en- Ia localidad
los dos primcros tercios de Ia lista de
contribuyentes. SCuantos electores por
este concepto hemos dicho qns tiene
ell pueblo N. de la Peninsula, por pagar
ulgunu Quota al E tado9 800. mo es
verlad? Pues la Ley manda que los
200 mayores contingencies de csc pue-
bio sean elegibles. y "a cnantos etectores
quedo reducida nuestra relacion d. 300
contrlbuyentes en- 81 pueblo N. de
Puerto-Rico? A 80. sEs cierto2 81,
porque cumpliendo ID disposition g. de
las transforms de Ia Lay municipal de
"a de- Mayo de 1878, los 210 satisfacen
al Estado mtnoS de cinco pesos y por tan
to no son contribuyentes para los efec-
tos electorales por no alcanzarles la
quota. Pues bien, do esos 80 e'ectores
contribuyentes Scuantos en- Lay son ele.
qib'es? Los dos primeros tercios, 6
80, con mas todos los del tercsr grupo
que paguen Quotas iguales al ultimo de
aquellos.
Explicado quienes pueden y deben
ser eleotores y quienes electores elegi-
bles en- Puerto Rico, debemos advertir
a los Sres. Alcaldes que de unos y de
otros sc forman listas por orden riguro.

agriculture al partido Unconditional que,

sabe: 10 Qle Ia causa del NAL esta-

pentina lie la ssclavitud, la falts de

los enormes derechos que este dulce

jeros, y los bajos precios que alcanza.

on 10 subido de los derechos arsncela-

del 6 p%. g. Que desde 1875 On que
vino ell general La Portills, han cesado,
por confession del colega de enfrsnte, las

do Unconditional en- la administration,
habiendose colocado durante la actual

municipios muchisimos mas reformis-
tas que Conservatives. A. Cuando SO
fue ell general SAM, durante cuya brevs
segunda administration tuvo verladera
inAaencia nuestro partido, quedo la
provincial en- estado de envidiable pros

momento en- que, per virtud de las cleo
clones de 1879. prepondero on sus

last Thursday night. He was on the

was taken sick at his warehouse, and
fingered in an unconscious state until

suited from the intense heat and over
exertion. He was born at Indian
Springs, Washington county, Md,

in Carroll county thirty years. He
was the stage contractor between Bal
timore and Chambersburg, running a
daily line of coaches and omnlbusses
until the Western Maryland railroad
was finished to Westminster with }.
r. Orendorf. Mr. Gehr was valua
bic citizen, always responding to the
appeals Of charity, man of unswerv-
ing integrity, and devoted to his fam.
lily.

Fighting Over.

When the war of the Rebellion
closed, the debt resting on the coun'
try brought about by the war amount
ed to nearly $3,00o,00O,000, the in
terest on which at 6 per cent, which
was then the average interest amount
ed to $lSO,O00,000. Since then the
debt has been rapidly decreased and
the rate of interest lessened so tina,
to-day the debt is less than $2,O00,.
100000 and the average interest rate
4 per cent. While this is fact, it is
none the less a fact that the equiva-
lent of $4,000, 100000 debt has been
placed upon the country to pay pen
siens, as were the constant sum Of
$lO0,00O,0O0 that will be paid during
the current year, raised by interest it
would require the investment Of
twenty five hundred millions at four
per cent to do it, consequently it may
be Justly considered that the annual
disbursement of the amount required
to pay pensions represents a capital
sum Of nearly the original war debt.
1t is constant annual payment Just
as is interest and just as much repre-
sents for present purposes a capital
amount as does the actual debt, it re-
quirng that provision be made annu-
ally for the payment Of pensions, as for
interest. In point Of fact therefore,
while the actual debt is less then two
thousand millions, it is required that
our government raise in addition to
the interest thereon a sum sufficient
for pensions thatTepresents a capital
sum in all of nearly forty.fve hun
'dred millions. Il required four years
to wipe out the rebellion and to con
tract our enormous debt and 100000,
900, the amount paid out now annu-
ally for pensions would keep a half
million of men in the field at 5000
per year, which is one-third more
than the private soldier got during
the war. And yet there are some
who do not believe that Republics
are generous.

to have caught, on the 4th, a bass
weighing 3 pounds and 8 ounces.
By the way, one Of lot of black
bass caught last week, was submitted
to DR.. Robert Horner, of this place,
and upon microscopic inspection he
found the flesh teeming with worms.
There is certainly some disease among
the bass at this time, and they can
not be toothsome, or safe, as food. We
hear also of worms being found in
catfish. Let's adjourn fishing for q
