The Express Thieves.

Up to q late hour last night the thieves
who made away with the baggage from one
of DOdd's Express CompanY's wagons had
not been captured nor hSd any tidings been
received Of the whereabouts Of the stolen
property. Early yesterday morning hand
bills containing q conspicuous notice of the
offered reward Of &, 900 and q complete list
OF the contents of the stolen trunks were
circulated throughout the city, and by neon
similar handbills had reached every town
within 800 miles Of New York. Nearly every
detective in the city WAS out on the case, busy
In working up various clews, but the precise
results Of their labors were known only to
themselves and those with whom they were
officially connected. A well known detect
i've who is taking prominent part In the
case, said to Herald reporter late last night,
that the detectives had any amount of strings
out, but what there was at the end of them
was not known. It was evident from his
conversation that some cleWs were being
followed up very closely, and he frankly
stated that the case was in that advanced
state that he would not be surprised to hear
of the arrest of the thieves at any moment.
At the express office, No. 323 Broadway,
the officials were up till midnight anxiouely
waiting for news on the matter. They
were OF course in possession of all the in
formation that was to be had. Mr.. Dodd
said he thought he would learn Of the cap
ture of the thieves before noon to-day.
Concerning the movements Of the thieves
on Wednesday night the detectives have
positive proof that the wagon was driven
into Watt street at five minutes past eight
O'Clock. Allowing three-quarters of an
hour for driving the wagon from No. 473
Fifth avenue, the thieves had only half an
hour to make away with the spells. 1t
is the general opinion among those
who are working on the case that the
thieves we're ordinary wagon thieves, prob
ably from the South Fifth avenue gang of
baggage snatchers," and that they had
some snug place in which to conceal the
trunks not very far from the scene of the
robbery. 1t is thought that they have not
had time or opportunity to dispose Of much
If any of their spells. The members Of
Dodd's Express Company are exerting
themselves to the utmost in the matter and
are anxiousl1 waiting to hear that some one
has claim for the $4,000 reward.

TIE utmost hess to condemn the
use of any materials in the business of
brewing, which would prove deleterious
to health. They urge that the brewers
in general are conservative is business,
and that the fact that the use Of hurtful
materials would injure their business is
a strong argument in favor Of the belief
that pure materials are for the most part
used. They state further that, if salts
fed that harmful materials are used, they
would at once do all in their power to
bring about their disuse.
In reply to the suggestion that an in
spector visit each brewery to watch the
processes there employed, the Com
missioner states that the laws make
no provision, for such particular
inspections. Neither do the laws leave
it to the Commissioner to say what ma
terials shall be used in the manufacture
of beer. They do permit. however, an
inspection of the material accounts of
brewers, and Mr.. Raum hopes that
these inspections, the results of which
can be made public, will prove sufficient
to correct any abuses that new prevail.
1t is to be hoped for the sake of beer
makers and beer drinkers that the com
plants made are largely fanciful, but, if
the inspections shall show substantial
basis for them, the resources of the law
should be taxed to stamp out the evil.
One cure is at the option of the lovers of
beer, and that is Eunch's to those con-
templating connubial bliss-'Don'tp'
But, as people will drink beer and don't
know TOR the most part whether it is
good OF bad for the inner man, care
should be taken that nothing but veritable
beer be allowed to leave the breweries.
What it becomes in transit to the drinker
is another question.

Hayes' PenuriOusness.

Hayes, who left the White House with
more money in his pocket than any man
who, even legitimately, ever occupied
that mansion, has, according to Cleve-
land dispatch, declined to contribute to-
wards the erection of a monument to the
late President Garfield, at Cleveland,
poverty being the excuse offered for the
refusal. He claims to have met with i'll
success in his farming operations in the
Red river country, and he declared to
the gentleman who solicited the contri
button that his savings out of the salary
drawn by him as President Of the United
States had been greatly exaggerated, that
his bank dividends had not come up to
expectations, and that, under all the cir
cumstances, he found himself unable to
contribute anything to the fund for a
monument to the lamented ex-President.
This will finally clinch Hayes reputa-
ton for being not only fraud, but also
for being one of the stingiest men that
ever lived.
Commenting on the above report,
which is common in Washington, the
correspondent in that city of the Balti-
more Sun says:
"The incredible assertions of ex-Presi-
| dent Hayes as to his limited ngs from

MEMBERS of our City Council who
are weak enough to become the
seryile followers of SchaefeT and
his man Fawcett, will surely de-
serve and receive the contempt
and scOrn of all honest citizens. This
question of granting Mr.. Schaefer his
selfish and unjust demand was an issue
at last springs election, and decided
against him. He had clamOred through
his organ, the Repository, for this special
privilege, had held public meetings in
which he abused the Council, and Op-
posed Market House and City Hall, and
it was thought they elected but three
members, Fawcett, Wyant and Rex, out
of fourteen. We supposed, of course,
Mr.. Schaefer and the Repository owned
those gentlemen, but had no idea that
he and his daily organ had mortgage
upon others, whom he belabOred and con-
spired to defeat. We shall not yet be-
lieve that majority of the Council are
ready to sacrifice the interests of the
city to accommodate the selfish instincts
of one man, even if that learned lumi-
nary of law, Mr.. Fawcett, does say Ii
cense law is Constitutional, and the
Court has so decided

THE distinguished Alexander H.
Stephens was nominated last week as
the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Georgia, the vote standing 325 for
Stephens to against and 81 not voting.
The Republican managers had a scheme
awhile since to run him as an Independ-
ent candidate for Governor, but Mr.. g.
refused to be used.
Mr.. Stephens, who is now in Congress-
is seventy-One years of age, and has been
in political life for nearly half century
at least for fOrty-six years. He an
nOunced his retirement from politics a
short time before the outbreak of the
war, but soon afterward appeared in
the service of the Southern ConfedeTacy.
He again retired at the close of the war,
but within a year was sent to Washing
ton as a Senator from Georgia, though
he was not permitted to take his seat.
During the last ten years he has been a
member of the House. There is no doubt
of his election to the place for which he
is nominated.

WHY do not COuncilmen Fawcett and
Wyant talk little sense about the show
amusement tax? What right have they
to consider the owner of the Opera
House? Why farm out the thing to him
in order that he may collect the show
tax and pocket from two to three hun
dred dollars year that rightfully be-
longs to the city? We fear these mem
bers are only small political tricksters,
and we warn Democratic members of
the Council not to be caught by the
palaver of these cheap Johns.
Under our State laws, city has the
right to levy permit tax upon travel
ing shows, the amount to be fixed by
ordinance enactment of the Council. We
are not aware the State law gives any
authority to farm out the business of
taxing shows as proposed.
Let the members of our City Council,
before following the lead of a couple of
Mckinley tricksters, consider this matter
with little honest sense. A wink to
blind horse should be as good as a nod

CAMERON's Chairman, Tom Cooper, is
assessing every office holder in Pennsyl-
vania he can lay hands on, men, women
and children; rich Federal, State, and
municipal officials down to day labOrers
and boys working at odd jobs. This in
duces these remarks by the New York
Herald:
The dirty business Of assessing the
office holders and government employees
in Pennsylvania by the managers of Boss
CameTOn's canvass there goes on stimuli
taneOusly with Boss Hubbells Republi-
can Congressional Committee assess
ments. The combination amounts to a
levy of seven per cent. on the victims
salary or wages-twO per cent. for Hub
bell and five per cent. for Cameron. This
is almost up to the Mormon tithing sys-
tenn. That takes one dollar in ten out
of the victims yearly earnings. This
takes one dollar in thirteen. That is to
say, Hubb. II and Cameron together are
within three per cent. as exacting as
Brigham Young was.
The Cameron State Convention for the
assistance of whose nominations Mr.
Thomas V. Cooper collected these sixteen
dollars from Mr.. Joseph Bell, was held at
Harrisburg on the 10th of last May, and
then and there passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we condemn cOmpul-
sorry assessments for political purposes.
The press reports the next morning
remarked that "there was irOnical
laughter in the Convention when this
ViTtuOus resolution was read"

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is opposing
Civil Service Reform and stabbing at
Senator Pendleton. The Democrats of
Ohio, however, pay little regard to the
Vagaries of John R. Mclean & Co., and.at
the late convention made Mr.. Pendleton
permanent Chairman and endorsed re-
form. The Enquirer, prior to Mr.. Tilden's
nomination in 1876, was constantly as
sailing him, but he was nominated and
elected nevertheless. The Enquirer
folks do not seem to learn from their
own mistakes.

THE COUNCIL AND THE LICENSE
QUESTION.

The Constitution of Ohio prohibits
license, and hence the decision in the
Pond law. The Constitution and laws
of this State require taxes to be levied
on all property according to the true
value in money; hence travelling shows,
merchants, &C., doing business for day
OF more in a town, are required to pay
small tax, by way of permit, and in JUS
tice to other tax payers.
The owner of an opera house pays tax
on his property like other citizens. He
rents his rooms, hall and store-rOOms,
for a rental like other owners of busi-
ness blocks. Sometimes the show COM
pany, instead of paying a definite rent,
give a percentage of the receipts to the
proprietor. This does not change the
fact of his renting his room. He is not
necessarily a Snowman, although he
may, at times, make an exhibition of
himself How then can such a man Ie-
gally claim yearly license? Why favor
him at the expense of the city, and in
violation of the rights of others? The
reason our last Council raised the tax
on amusement shows from three to five
dollars was, that the owner of the Opera
Hall, while running an account with the
former Mayors, at three dollars each
evening, exacted from the shows, as a
rule, five dollars, thus making a hand
some profit.
1t will be seen then, that there is a
job in this scheme, of an indefinite
amount. Mr.. Schaefer is undoubtedly
quite willing to pay the city fifty dol
lars a year for the privilege of black
mailing the show trOupes. He may well
afford to compliment with annual tick
cts of admission, as we have heard of
being done elsewhere. There ought to
be integrity enough in CantOn's City
Council to squelch the scheme!

IT seems Mr.. Fawcett, of the favored
Seventh ward, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Streets, is controlling the Street
Commissioner and his large force, and
is having most of the road fund ex-
pended on West Ninth street, to the
utter neglect of other wards and streets
of the city of more Importance and more
in need of attention, if the health of cit
izens is to be considered. When Mr..
Fawcett has succeeded in using up the
road fund, and there is no money to be
had for needed improvements elsewhere
in the city, Mr.. Fawcett's Opera House
organ, the Repository, will blame the
Democratic majority with their folly
and bad management.
