The Power of the Press.

Talmage in sermon on Thurlow
Weeds death said: "In our age
the best editorial writers are often
unknown outside of their own Off
ces. There are to-day too many in
dependent newspapers for bosses
to exist very long. The people no
longer ask what certain men think,
but step up to newsstand and buy
three or four newspapers represen-
ting different shades of opinion and
form their own judgment from
them. There will, of course, al
ways be small bosses in every
city and town of the country, but
the most mighty and overpowering
boss will be laid at rest tomorrow.
He will have no successor" Re-
ferring to the newspapers again Mr..
Talmage said: tSeven more in
fiuential men during their day could
not be found than Noah, Webb. the
elder Bennett, Greeley, Raymond,
Brooks and Weed. Like it or not,
/ state the tremendous fact. The
mightiest men in GALL departments
have recognized the newspapers
as the most potential influence on
earth. All great social, political
and moral enterprises have laid
hold of the wheel of the printing
press. Few people read books, be-
cause newspapers have, to the mas
es, taken the place of books. This
is matter not of regret but of con-
graduation. The newspaper is cas-
lily carried, and can be read while
going to and returning from busi-
ness, and to the mass of men this is
all the time they have to read. The
more good newspapers there are the
less bad ones there will be-" sa 90

Taxes Pad Under a Mistake.
DbiIa1alnbia Pn1lIaftn

The Supreme Court, now in ses-
sion in. this city, has rendered a
decision that taxes paid under a
mistake of law cannot be recovered
by the tax payer. The case in ques-
tiOn was the suit OF the Union In
surance Company.against the city OF
Allegheny. The insurance company
had bought in a piece of real estate
at sherifTs sale on mortgage which
was prior lien to the tax claimed
for the years 1875 and 1876. The
city solicitor threatened to issue a
writ against the land for the recov-
cry of the taxes, and the insurance
company, contending that as mat
ter Of law the liens had been diveSt-
ed, paid the taxes under written
protest and sued the city to recover
the taxes so paid. The lower court
decided that, as the insurance COM
pany had full knowledge Of all the
facts and the only question in dis
pute was one of law, the company
could not recover the taxes, al
though paid under written protest.
And the Supreme Court, in an
opinion by Mercur, Justice, (Shar-
wood, Chief-Justice, and Gordon
and Turnkey, Justices, dissenting,)
have sustained the lower court, and
hold that there is no authority to be
found which holds that money paid
to prevent the sale of land under u
threat of sale on judgement which
is not lien thereon can he recov-
cred back by reason thereof. The
only dispute was upon a question
of law, and the proper method in
such case was an appeal TO the
equitable powers of the court, or a
bill in equity, to have restrained
the threatened suit and had the
lien stricken from the record. 4r

Changing Seats Suddenly.
AtIsnta Constitution.


"We stopped suddenly" said DIR.
Raines, "when the two trains met
on the track just this side OF Rome
yesterday. For my part l went
feet foremost under the seat that
was in front of where1 was sitting.
The most singular thing that wit
messed was done just across the
aisle from me. There were two
men, sitting directly one behind
the other, and in front of them was
an unoccupied seat. When the en-
gine struck, the man in front turn
ed complete somersault and lit In
the vacant seat just exactly as he
sat in the other seat. The other
man performed exactly the same
feat and lit in the seat lately occu-
pied by his neighbor." .. ~

Liquor Legislation.

We copy from the American, the
following interesting letter from
the able pen of Col. WI. Sykes on
thesubject of liquor Legislation. 1t
was addressed to DIR. A. p. Water
field of Union City; and sets fourth
in forcible manner the true policy
to the final success of the temper
ance movement in this State.
Dear Sir-"Many of our temper
ance friends are uneasy for fear the
four-mile law and the law taxing
saloons will be repealed or so mod
ified as to render them worthless.
As / wrote you before the election,
/ have strong hopes that no legisla-
ture will either repeal, or so mod
ify these laws, as to render them
less efficient than they are.
All parties are committed in fa-
vor of the f0ur-mile law, and the
law taxing saloons, will, when un-
derstood, be even more popular
than the four-mile law. The cost
Ofcriminal prosecutions in this State
amounts annually to 1892, 500, and
these costs are attributed mainly TO
the use or abuse OF intoxicating
drinks. H H-I rE
The people will demand that
what produces the expenses shall
at least assist in paying them. 1t
seems to me that the tax on saloons
should at least be sufficient to pay
all the costs arising from criminal
prosecutions. Such, / think the
public sentiment of the country
will require at the hands of the Leg
islature.
There should also be a law passed,
free from constitutional objections,
authorizing corporations, to surren-
der their charters SO as to bring
them under the provision of the
four-mile law.
/ doubt very much the wisdom of
attempting, at this time, the. enact
ment of a general prohibitory law.
No one can be of any avail unless
sustained by a strong public senti-
ment, so that its provisions may be
enforced. By gradually extending
the four-mile law and leveying
tax on saloons, we can accomplish
all that is practicable in the way of
temperance reform at least, until
there is a more advanced public SEN
timent in the cities on this subject.
Lef us be practical and not Wis
ionary on this subject. Let us not
lose all the good that we might at
tain by attempting that which we
cannot accomplish.
Yours, very truly.

maryeled what had caused so subtle
difference. Always quiet, he now
seemed to live in an ideal world of
his own and, whatever he might
occupy himself with, there was that
in his manner which appeared to
imply that it was only a temporary
diversion until the coming of some
event for which he was waiting.
So passed half year, 1T the end
of which there came letter to Car
radine. 1t was very brief, but it
was enough to assure him of that
which he had been almost uncon-
sciously expecting.
The letter was from Leila Auver-
nay. He went to her at once. She
met him with a laughing light in
her eyes such as he had not seen
there when she stood in the gallery
beside her betrothed husband; a
light which recalled the merry child
who had smiled down on him so
long ago.
"Mr. Carradine," she said,' "I told
you that my fortune was gone, but
1 did not tell you how utterly it had
been swept away. / am nothing
better than a beggar. Will you
take me for one of your students for
charity's sake?"
He looked searchingly into her
smiling face.
"And Mr.. Wyndham?" he asked,
in a low voice.
She laughed without so much as
flush of emotion.
''Mr. Wyndham has gone with
the rest of my worldly possessions.
Did not say that had lost every
thing? You see, Mr.. Carradine,
that l am not of as much worth now
as my picture"
The words, as she said them, did
not seem bitter. Then he took her
hands.
"Leilia," he said, "does your loss
make you unhappy"
''Do look SO ?" she asked gayly.
Gas for the marriage it was my
fathers wish, and to crafty his
dying request 1 consented-before
knew my own heart" Here a
quick, vivid color shot into her
cheek, but she went on. "There
never was love on my side; and on
his-well, money is more than love
with some natures. 1 do not wish
to blame him." ANS.
Carradine's grasp frightened on
her hands. i
"Leilia," he said, "once your an
swer put a bar between us, when /
spoke words that were surprised |
out of my heart. Would it be so |
now, if ] should say them once
more? My love, my fife, will you
come to me ?" yIea 80 75l.. |
"Will / comet" she repeated,
looking up in his eyes and drawing |
nearer, ,Iuntil his.arms silently folded
about her. aAif@
And so Carradine found his love
at last. a7itff .ai .. aaf IrF

The HeIght of Folly.

MUSIC FoR coEGREssMEH.

New York Sun.
Come up, exultant Democrats,
So long outside of Office rings;
Come up, and toe the mark, and face
The music that the voter sings.
The song he sings is nothing new;
He sang it wei in seventy -four;
He taught the words and music then,
And now he adds few notes more.
Though weary of the ancient band
Whose shocking disorder panied his ear
Hedoubts if you have caught the key,
And waits your opening bars to hear.
Sing, then, the plain and simple tune
That Jefferson sang long ago;
The music suits the voter well,
ana every note your leaders know.
Sing out the centralizing force,
The public robbers fraud and greed,
The useless tax that ties us down,
The surplus that we do not need.
Sing in the purer, better days
For which the weary voter S1ghS,
The men of clan and honest ways,
Home rule and all the name implies.
If from your side should drop away
Some restless hearers through the land,
Fear not, for every thief you lose
Two honest men willJoin the band.
Sing, Democrats, the good old song,
That now will seem like something new;
Sing out the days of fraud and wrong,
Sing in the just and clean and true.

BY AGNES ELLA.

In a stranger home to dwell,
And my heart grows faint and fainter,
AS breathe that word, farewell.
Farewell sweet memory fingers
On the bright hours we have known,
While a voice of sadness tells me
Those bright hours for aye have flown
Farewell now may listen
For thy footsteps at the door,
But that fate I've almost worshipped,
l may never welcome more.
Fal ewell 7, how can speak it
To the idol of my heart
God will give me strength to bear it,
Since He wills that we must part.
Farewell and heaven bless thee,
May'st thou never, never know,
All the darkness that surrounds me,
Never know a cause for woe.
Farewell and blessings brighter,
Than e'er mortal knew before,
Rest upon thee, and hereafter,
We may meet TO part no more.
