Mr.. SCHAEFER lately lettered the City
Council for yearly license for trOupes
performing in his Opera House. We are
surprised that Mr.. S. should ask the
Council to grant what it has no legal
right to do. The Council can fix by
ordinance the amount each travelling
show shall be required to pay, and the
Mayor is the law officer to collect the
same and place it in the city treasury.
Giving Mr.. Schaefer the job by the year
would be allowing him to fix the tax
upon each company, certainly all
wrong and illegal.

''AIY Dear Hubbell' is not at all pleased
at Mr.. Curtis's prompt response to his
taunting letter. He fears, evidently, that
the business of black mailing Govern
ment employees in which he and his COM
mittee are now engaged will suffer by
this publicity and discussion. For the
benefit of backsliders he says, with saw
age suggestiveness: 81 remember | sent
to Judge Key the replies made by some
in his department. 1 did this because
they were insulting and indecent, and,
Democrat as he was, he promptly re-
moved them" If the erTing brother,
who was Hayes's POstmaster-G General,
would remove employees at Hubbells sug-
gestion, the civil servant in the postal
department is left to conjecture how
swift will be the action of Howe and
HattOn should anyone have the courage
to tell Mr.. Hubbell that he is engaged
in mean, miserable business.-Ex.

THE DEMOCRAT is continually claim

however, to avoid that kind o. p)verty.-

The Democratic is not the monopoly

equal taxation by tariff and otherwise.

THE army worm causes great loss, the
whisky worm causes greater loss, but the
most expensive of all is the navy worm.
Water kills the first and ruins the
second, but the navy worm thrives upon
it, and in this country seems to get on
equally well in ships rOtting on the
ways, or humping against other vessels
at sea, or at anchor with barnacles in
side and out. Robson is the king of the
navy worms, as the wOrming of mil
lions out of the Treasury proves.
Neither whisky or water apparently can
overcome him.-TN. Y. Sun.

whose election he has not contributed
"a good deal Of-laughter."

and two of which are known as the Meserole
