Every established local newspaper re
ceives subscriptions from large cities which
puzzle the publishers to account for, but
which the New York Times recently
threw some light upon in the following
"A wholesale grocer in this city, who has
become rich at the business, says his rule
is, when he sells a bill of goods on credit,
to Immediately Subscribe for the local
paper of his debtor. So long as his Gus
toner advertises literally and vigorously
he rested, but as soon as he began to con
tract his advertising space he took the fact
as evidence that there was trouble ahead,
and invariably went for his debtor. Said
he: THE man who is too poor to make his
business known is too poor to do business. .

HIGH TAXES.

The present rate of taxes in this city is
habHants; it is matter in which we are
all interested and which calls for at least
some attempt at reformation. Our pres
ent administration is careless, If nothing
verse, in regard to the disbursement of
money, and there are many rat holes
through which money is leaking, that
should be plugged. The Warren investi-
cation showed clearly that there are plenty
of opportunities for fraud on the city, even
if none has been committed; and the pres
ent system of assessing is an outrage on
its face. There has grown up in the minds
Of the citizens of this burg strong and
settled conviction that some of these more
crying evils could be remedied if proper
care was exercised by our city government
The democratic party viii prove to the
voters, by its nominations! THAT intends it to
put stop tothese abuses and if a hearty
support is given them at the polls, dem
ocratic council can be returned pledged to
better and safer government Mayor
Carse can only thus be controlled and his
foolish desire to run the city himself en-
tirely according to his own ideas be thus
checked The Mayor undoubtedly expects
to be the sole autocrat of our civic course
and nothing but an opposition council will
suffice to suppress upon his mind the ne
cessity of little restraint in his opera
tons.

The Pail NAL Gazette observes that there
is one feature in the expulsion of Mr.. Brad
laugh from the House of Commons which
distinguishes it at once from all the histo
rical precedents which have been quoted
In all other cases the person expelled was
expelled for doing something which, If not
legally punishable as a crime, was at all
events, morally criminal. Wither was os-
tensibly expelled for publishing works con
demned by the courts as scandalous and
seditious libels. Cochrane was alleged to
have committed frauds upon the Stock Elk
change. Walpole was found guilty of
having taken bride. So was Sir John
Trevor, who, when Speaker, reeeivedf1, 900
from the Corporation of the city for pro-
noting bill on their behalf, and put the
question to the House whether he was or
was not guilty, and had to declare that the
yeas had it. But this is the first time a
member has been expelled for a mere
breach of good manners. or, as Lord Ran
delphi Churchill phrased it, reiterated in
suits" to the House, or, in the language of.
Sir Stafford Northccte, contempt and con-
tumacy."

A sTALwARr VIEW OF TIE SUBJECT
The Treaty of Mentor and What Came of 1t.

The Treaty Of Mentor and What Came of It
The National Republican. in the hands
of the new propr1etors, is very much the
same Republican, that il was before; and
If the Garfield administration is allowed to
mere personal sympathy in the last suffer
ings of its chief, it will not be the fault OF
tbs able stslwart organ.
The recent interview with Mr.. ]. B. Nc
Cullaugh, of the Globe Democrat, is a very
| interesting contribution to the history of
! the period in question. The speaker
seems to talk by the book. He is his own
witness, and the interview he gives be-
tween himself and General Garfield is one
of the most characteristic of the many that
have found their way into print since the
memorable treaty of Mentor. Mr.. McCu1-
laughs estimate of the late president is
natural result of his own intercourse with
him, and is stated ,as follows:
I will not say that Mr. Garfield was over
estimated in point of ability. He was
what the world calls great man intellec-
tually-that is to say, he was thoroughly
educated, fun of information, and ready
and strong in argument, a leader in de-
bate on all questions in which he took an
interest. But my objection to him as
president is that he was an insincere man,
and ] think weak man,
Mr. McCullaugh believes, and Is by no
means slow to say, that General Garfield's
administration would have been sad dis
appointment to the country had he lived to
complete it. He had already produced
fatal breach in his own party. he was
already doing, consciously or unconscious
", the work Of a mere faction. He had
been rescued from obvious and conceded
defeat by the timely exertions of the stall /
warts; and the rescue had been arranged |
for upon terms as clear and definite as |
they could be made Mr.. McCullaugh |
says further:
While was travelling in the east in the +
summer of 1880 I saw in the papers a I
great many statements, pretending to be /
authentic to the effect that when Garfield I
was elected the Grant men would be com
PEELED to take back seats. On my way I
home called on General Garfield at Men
Tor and had private talk with him. had

! with me a number of papers with this
statement in them. One or two of them
were published in Ohio, and pretended to
speak for Gov. Foster. Said / to the General
I II don't think this is going TO do the party
any good. The Grant men were beaten at
Chicago and they know it. They went
| into the fight to win and they lost. They
don't expect to occupy the boxes, but they
would like to have a fair show in the dress
circle Even if they should be pushed
into the back seats or crowded into the
top galleries they win stay through the
circus, but after they will do heap
of kicking if they don't get good treat
naent. Gen. Garfield laughed, and said
he did not know exactly what meant.
explained to him at some length the ami
mus which seemed to dictate these attacks
which were mainly directed against Grant
and Conkling, and I wound up by saying
that we did not propose to have it regard
ed as panitentary offence to have sup
ported Grant at Chicago or to regard
Conkling as one of the accredited leaders
of the republican party. The General
looked at me for a moment, rose to his
feet,sput his hands on my shoulders and
said: MY dear fellow, you don't know
me if you think that with my consent the
services of Grant or Conkling can ever be
forgotten or ignored by the republican par

And it is because he said what he did and

was insincere. | use a very mild word
too, because subsequent events have shown
that at that very time he had made league

PARTON AND DEMOCRACY.

James Parton, life long republican and
one Of the most noted men OF letters in
the country has recently become q convert
/ to democracy and has been admitted as a
member into the Jeffersonan club at New
| York Mr.. Parton, in a letter thanking
| the society for its action stated that he
had voted with the republican party since
| its organization, but that the abolition OF
slavery having removed a vexed question
from American politics, the time is now
t'ripe for revival of the simple and au-
gust principles which triumphed in 1880, :"
and he believes it the duty OF the demo
cratic party to create methods for the eff
fective dissemination of the principles of
Thomas jefferson. The association in
formally receiving Mr.. Parton's letter. made

position.
