COMMUNICATIONS.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The action of the city before our
State Legislature in an effort to consolidate
the town and city governments may be all
right SO far as the city interests are con-
cerned and those of the boroughs within
town limits (for instance the borough of Fair
Haven East. But the very respectable resi-
dents of the annex outside of the said bor-
fits they are to derive from this new move of
the city. Will the increased taxation secure
increased value of their property with in
creased ability to meet this new tax Will it
give these residents police protection, sewers,
water and gas privileges, with all other ad-
vantages (including paved streets and side
walks now possessed by your citizens
These questions all residents outside of the
city and borough limits {but residents of the
town. would like favorable answer to. They
fear, with reason, that the changes proposed
by the city will not secure them the advan-
tages commensurate with their increased tax
alton, thus suffering by an arbitrary ma
jority the infection of great injustice and
wrong
Practically this question admits of but one
Interpretation. The city must place these
districts in the town (outside of city and bor-
ough limits) on the same footing of advan-
tages and improvements Gas we have indi-
Gated above) now enjoyed by citizens of your
city to-day. Unless the city carries out this
programme she has no right to impose in
creased taxes on residents of the town who
are no more benefited by their forced connec-
ton Herewith than resident of Branford. 1t
is hoped the rights and interests of the few
will be respected aud not sacrificed and all
interests receive just and equitable consider
alton. Certainly no tax can be imposed with
out just equivalent. ID.

1t is reported that the revolver is in all
from use in the British army, navy, Irish
constabulary and other government services
in favor of a new weapon, the mitrailleuse
pistol, in which there are four barrels, which
are loaded at once by patent quadruple
cartridge big enough to afford good hold to
the fingers. Forty shots per minute can be
discharged, and the empty. cartridges elected
automatically. AS there is no opening
through which any gas can escape, the wea-
pom can be used gun fashion when aiming.
and there are no screws, hammers or projec-
tions to catch the clothing, reins, or accoutre-
ments. Above all, there is no fear of jam
or the weapon becoming unserviceable from
overheating. The pistol will take the ordi-
nary government cartridge.
OF late years, at least, South Carolina has
not been troubled with long sessions of the
Legislature. The session which has Just
ended lasted only forty-nine days, and was
twice as long as any previous session since
1876. Among the important measures passed
was the general election law, the railroad
commission law, the law regulating the State
militia; the law requiring stock to be fenced
in, and three liquor laws. The first of the
latter places the collection of the State Ii
cense of 800 in Charleston in the hands of
the county commissioners The second pro-
vides that whenever two thirds of the voting
population of any city, town, or village in
the State shall express a desire for an cleo
ton on the question of license or no license,
such election shall be held on or about the
first of December following. The third al

After two days illness Miss Flora Foster,
matron of the Tombs prison, died at her res
idence, No. 122 East Twenty-eighth street.
Tuesday afternoon. Miss Foster has had
charge of the female department of the city
prison since 1915, a service of thirty six
years. She was known as a faithful and
jealous official as well as kind hearted wo-
man. Many of the Magdalens who had been
in her keeping traced their reformation to
her wise counsel. On Friday Miss Foster at

The immense tract of land set aside by the
State of Texas to pay for the erection of a
new State House has been transferred by the
State to Abner Taylor, c. B. Farwen and
John V. Farwell of Chicago, and A. G. Bah
cock, of Canton, Illinois, who will furnish
the necessary funds for erecting the building.
The place of this domain is larger than the
State of Connecticut, and five times larger
than Rhode Island. 1t is the northwest cor
ner of the State. The survey extends south
distance of 1877 miles, with an average
width of 81 miles. Two railways are already
projected through this section of the State.
The transfer of these lands is probably the
largest sale ever made to private individuals
and the purchasers are the largest land own
ers in the world.

1t has been expected that by the first of
April the Legislature would have its work
done, but the outlook for this is not now
bright. If the business proceeds after the
usual fashion. the session will probably not
end before the middle of April. This is sad
dening.

Stamp taxes are, as a rule, unpopular, but
the Journal Of Commerce thinks that the pro
posed stamp tax on oleomargarine would be
measure of the greatest popularity. If the
stuff were stamped buyers would know what
it was and it could not be sold for butter at
an immense profit. Says the Journal: ''The
bill can have no enemies but the makers and
agents of oleomargarine and these men
have put themselves beyond the pale of sym
pathy Unlike the whiskey and tobacco
trades, which are subjected to severe reguia-
ton, the o1eomargarine business is swim
die. The whiskey and tobacco manufactur-
ers sell what they make under real names,
and people can buy or let them alone. But
the oleomargarine people thrive only on the
impositions they practice. They are not
worthy to be coupled with the whiskey and
tobacco trades, which are as honorable and
respectable as any other. The oleomarga-
rine men are rich. They will probably use
much money to defeat the Stamp Tax bill
now in Committee of Ways and Means. But
if Congressman wish to stand well with their
Observation-Disclosures among the makers
or the consumers of genuine butter-they
will not allow SO just and benefcent d meas
ure to fail of adoption"
Professor Ko Kun Hua, instructor in the
Chinese language at Harvard college, who died
of pneumonia Tuesday, was Mandarin en-
titled to wear one of the two shades of the
blue button. He was also poet. The pro-
fessor came to this country from Ningpo IN
September, 1879, for the purpose of fulfill
ing three years engagement to teach the
Chinese language at Harvard. In 1877 Mr..
Francis P. Knight of Boston, who had lived
in China for several years prior to that date,
raised subscription of SIS, $50 for the pur-
pose of maintaining at Cambridge native
teacher of the Mandarin or classical Chinese.
1t was desired to fit young men TO take posi-
tions of high grade in the Chinese govern
ment service, and also to enable them to
engage in mercantile pursuits in China with
the view of facilitating the commercial inter
course between that country and our own. 1t
was found difficult task TO obtain an edu-
Gated Chinese gentleman who was willing to
leave his native country, but finally an ar
rangement was made with Professor Ko, who
with the consent of his government came
over under an agreement to remain three
years. His appointment would have expired
at the end of the present academic year. The
experiment which his coming introduced has
proved partially successful. In all he has
had only four five pupils, but while the
numbers have been small, the results obtained
have been very satisfactory. 1t is understood
that one who has studied with him since his
service at Harvard has acquired the ability to
converse easily with Mandarins, and is nearly
ready to establish himself in some business
in China. Upon his arrival here in 1879
Professor Ko could not speak word in Eng
lish, but at his decease he conversed in our
language with good degree of facility. He
was, it is said, a man of very refined man.

his late opponent He began life as a
waiter boy in a glass factory, and is a
GLASS blower by trade. He has served
in the Assembly and Senate of New
Jersey. representing always Republican
constituencies. He is the first Democrat
ever elected to Congress from his district
since the formation of the Republican
Marty and in his recent struggle he car
ried every county. He is plain in appear
once and frugal in habits. and is as Tar
removed from the ways and practices OF

therein. 1t is well said that in no part
of the country was the right of suffrage
more becomingly exercised on the 7th
inst than in the First Congressional
district of New Jersey.

The President issued a proclamation
on April 5, 1881, reserving certain lands
in Wisconsin. Before the receipt of the
proclamation at the local land office cash
entries of some of the reserved lands
were made. The Secretary of the In
terror holds that the proclamation took
effect from its date, and consequently
that the entries were illegal. 1t subse-
quently appeared that the land in ques
ton was withdrawn through a clerical
error with another area actually needed
for reservoir purposes at the head waters
of the Mississippi. BY proclamation
on the 4th inst. the President restored
the land to the public domain. The
Secretary, therefore, holds that as the
lands were not needed for the purposes
specified, the entries may be referred to
the Board of Adjudication.

No Democratic Bluuderfng.

NJ D6uNCEdlAC DluuucIlHS.
Republican organs are pTating very
glibly now about the certainty of the
Democracy laundering when it assumes
control of affairs, and by thus arousing
the fears of the people they hop3 to
afford Radicalism an opportunity to win
in 1894. The wish is clearly father to
the thought, and it will require much
more than its expression to bring about
its qualification.
The Democratic party sees clearly the
mission for which it has been chosen.
Its duty is plain. 1t is simply to do
what Radicalism has left undOne, and to
leave undone what Keifer, Robson &
Co. have DONE
1t will require no great statesman
ship for the majority of the Democrats
in the next House to second the efforts
Of their leaders towards meeting the
popular demands. 1t will require wis
dom and discretion, however, on the
part of those leaders to arrange the de-
tails, but even If, when arranged, they
should not come up to the absolute re
quirements of the public, much will be
pardoned to honesty of purpose.
This Radical talk about Democratic
blunders is a confession of weakness that
is significant. 1t is more. 1t is a con-
fession of the sins of commission and
omission of Radicalism for which it was
but yesterday arraigned and condemned.
Radicalism has had control of affairs for
two decades, and instead of Tightening
public burdens and correcting abuses,
its aim has ever been to increase the
former and wink at the latter.
The time has gone by for Radicallsm
to lay claim to wisdom or patriotism.
It's wisdom has been the wisdom of sell
fishness its patriotism the holloweat of
cant. 1t has repeatedly invited defeat,
but saved itself by its duplcity and false
professions. In its last trial no plea was
taken. 1t was simply sternly condemn
ed. The sole test exacted from the De-
mocratic party is the honest effort TO do
right. Whatever action may flow from
such will be welcomed by the people
who looked so long and so vainly to
Radicalism for relief.
There will, therefore, be no blunder
ing. The path is marked out too plainly,
to be missed 1t leads to what the peO-
pie have been in need of for years
honest, simple, constitutional govern
ment. Under such government the rich
and the poor will receive justice; no
section will prosper to the detriment of
another, and all will enjoy the blessings
that our free institutions are capable of
securing.
The pirate of the Radical organs, how
ever, is convenient. 1t encourages their
dupes, but it deceives no clear headed
citizen. The people have their eyes
open, they know what they want and
are going to have it. The Democracy
has been told in the clearest terms what
the wishes of the public are, and they
are expressed too plainly to be mistaken.
If complied with literally, or even rea
sonably, those who effect that compli-
ance will meet their reward. The battle
of 1884 was half won on the day of the
7th of November. Only forgetfulness of
this fact can deprive the Democracy of
the final victory.

General lees Lecture.

On Wednesday next, the 22d instant,
General Filzhugh Lee will visit our city
to deliver his lecture on "The Battle Of
Charlottesville" for the benefit of the
Southern Historical Society. He will
of course receive a most cordial greeting
a the hands of our citizens. The mere
fact that he is the nephew of his ven
Grated and revered uncle, the immortal
r. Z. Lee, would have this effect, but
he has other urgent claims upon the con-
sideration of the Southern people every.
where.
Personally he was a gallant officer in
the army of the lost cause. and actively
participated in the stirring scenes and
incidents which he will portray. This
will render his lecture not only unusually
interesting. but exceedingly instructive,
aud when it is considered that he is
to deliver that lecture for the
benefit of a society which proposes to
preserve and give to the world true
history OF the glorious part played by
the South in a struggle she believed to
be Just aud sacred, the interest in his
effort will be increased tenfold.
Nothing has occurred since the war
that appeals more strongly to the support
of our people than does this lecture of
General Lee. We have no doubt that
he viii be warmly received, both as a
distinguished guest and as the re
preventative of the Southern Historical
Society, and that every one in the com
munity will be eager to hear his graphic
description of the battle which reflected
so much lustre upon Southern arms and
Southern valor.
