It costs something to govern New York city and county. No less than s, 433 persons are connected with the management of city and county affairs; 1887 of these persons are on the annual salary list and draw pay amounting to over $6,OOO, GOO. But these figures represent only fraction of the cost of government, for the 2,885 persons who are not on the annual salary list get large wages by the day or hour, and. G5 salaried officers receive fees beside.

Charles S. Wolfe thinks that the prospects of the Independent Republicans of Pennsyl- vania are good for polling 1OO 900 votes this year if they nominate candidates of their own. This he believes will be done, as he sees TO probability of the regular Republi- cans naming an acceptable ticket, He does not favor seeking aid from the Democrats, but will not object to their adopting the can- didates of the Independents. He will first act with the Republicans, attending the pri- maries of the party in his own district, and endeavor to secure good nominations but re- serves his right to bolt an unsuitable ticket. This he thinks is the only way to perpetuate the Republican party.

An odd case. especially interesting to newspaper correspondents, was recently de- cided in a Montreal court. Herbert G. Paul. of Toronto, the plaintiff, stated that he had some time in 1880 written number of let ters for Montreal weekly. He had private correspondence with the editor, who was, MT. Paul. supposed, the proprietor. MT
 Paul. forwarded twenty-five letters, which appeared in the newspaper during as many weeks He had asked for compensation, but had not received one cent. He sued the-edi- tor for S3 50 for each contribution. The main statement of the defense was that the newspaper was the property of company, aud that the action was not properly brought
 The plaintiff was called on to prove that he had written these letters to the newspaper ln question, and to prove that he had done so he was required to produce the "copy" ot the identical letters that he had written. It was not sufficient that he produced the cop ies of the paper with his articles in them and swore that these were written by him. Of course the plaintiff was not able to produce the manuscript, and a non suit was entered
 Two plans for much and long needed i'm provements seem at last likely to be carried out in the national capital. One is the plan for filling the marsh along the bank of the Potomac, where the maIarial poison infests the city at certain seasons and causes much sickness This has been faVorably reported to the House, the bill being so well matured and guarded that there can be little objec- tion to it on the score of possible jobbery- A board of army engineers of the highest authority has approved the plans, and it is proposed that the work shall be done under the supervision of the War department. The other scheme is for increasing the water sup ply, which has long been deficient in some sections. An abundant supply is brought to Georgetown from the great falls of the Poto- mac, twelve miles distant. It is proposed to make this available for the city by ex- tending a large aqueduct about a mile along the brow of the hills just north of the boundary line, and eventually creating large additional reservoir in a natural depression north of Howard University. When these public works are completed there will remain little to be done by the general government in the way of large and costly undertakings for the improvement of Washington.
