THE average sense of people regarding the
alleged New York election frauds is neatly
expressed by the Hartford Courant when
it says: s'Very like campaign canard
sounds the story of great Republican frauds
discovered in New York in the registration
lists. The innocent, confiding Democrats of
New York city, accustomed to the guileless
lead of Shepherd Kelly, are just the men to
allow the wicked Republicans to pack the
registry lists with bogus names and colombo
the wards with fraudulent voters. On the
face of it the story lacks probability. But
there are undoubtedly disreputable men in
the Republican party in New York. What
ever the truth, we trust the facts will be
made clear and public, that such frauds, If
there are any, may be exposed, and the gull
ty punished, in New York, or in New Eng
land, as well as in South Carolina or Louis
lana.

AS Mr.. Gladstone's severity toward the
Irish malconten.s has usually preceded
some great Measure of Liberal concessiof by
his government to the demands of the Irish
national party, it may perhaps not be out of
the way to indulge in the belief that the re-
newal of the cloture in Parliament presages
another Irish row in that body, to be iol-
lowed by some fresh governmental measure
for the redress of Irish grievances.

lie due to an increase of the demand for 81 ate
taxes; $171, 900 more arises from larger
amount of the city debt falling due within
the year, and $250,00O is an addition to the
appropriation for common schools. AS
usual, the heaviest item of expense 49,

represents the past extravagance of the city;
bat as this will be nearly all paid off in
thirty years, New York will probably be,
within the time of men now living more
lightly burdened in this respect than any
other great civilized CITY. The other leading
items of expense are police, s3,42e, 1870; ed

THE native language is gradually going
out Of use in Ireland, and Gaelic Union
has been founded in Dublin for the purpose
of preserving what remains of the language
and encouraging its study By the whole pop

ever. that the extinction of the native tongue
will be averted, though it is very desirable
that the language should be kept alive in
view of the vast number of beautiful and
valuable compositions-poetic, historic,
phIlosophic, religious and romantic-which
will otherwise prac ically drop into oblivion.

TEE duty of the Republicans at the COM

thinks, is TO give especial attention to the
reduction of the revenue by a judicious re-
vision of the tariff aud the internal revenue
taxes. He says: "The reduction must come,
and if the Republican Congress does not set
about and accomplish it, the Democrats are
likely to make capital by the neglect in the
presidential campaign of 1884, and injure
the country by the rash and reckless chang

An old timer says: Jefferson was not
a practical man in many things. When
he was in France he was very much
struck with the utility of windmills. He
thought they were wonderful institutions
and cost so little to run. He owned a
large body of timber on mountain much
higher than Monticello, about a mile off.
He purchased in France windmill and
the machinery for sawmill at cost of
$500 and had it taken to the top of
his mountain. He had for neighbor a
bluff old fellow named Cole. One day
Cole came to see him, and Jefferson took
him up where he was having the mill
built 1t was as much as they could do
to climb the steep ascent. When Cole
had recovered the breath he lost getting
up the mountain he said: "Mr. Jefler.
son, you have u splendid sawmill and it
is a splendid place to catch the wind,
but how are you going to get the logs up
here to saw them?" The author of the
Declaration Of Independence started like
a man suddenly awakened from delight
full dream, and quickly said: /" Hey, Cole,
how? What" and then relapsing into
abstraction led the way down the noun.
tain towards Monticello The windmill
was never completed, and years after the
machinery was sold for old from Gin.
