A PHILADELPHIA paper suggests that,
owing to the condition Of the streets in that
city, elevated railways have become nt-
cessity. We made Il suggestion of like
character with reference to Dallas some

though costly, there is at least one way OF
X ieping out of the mud in our streets.

The New York legislators do not pro-
pose to he cut OIL from free rides on the
railroads. They have defeated the bill pro
hibiting the issuance by the roads of free
passes to members of tho legislature, state

an awful strain upon mans patriotism to
a'k him to vote away his free rides on the
railroads. 1t is not surprising that under
the circumstances the tlesh's. weakness
betrayed itself at Albany.

Ii looks as il il were impossible TO run
the navy department OF this country with
out the rankest jobbery, and few more
such officials as RoBEsoY and CHANpLER
would doubtless cause the people to cut the
naval arm of the government oil altogether
CHANDLER has, it is supposed, been detected
in another big job with reference to the
building of the new cruisers. An exchange
has the following: "li it be true, as stated,
that SECRETARY CHANDLER has concluded
that the new steel cruisers shall all be bu II
by contract with private parties, an expla-
nation is necessary. The methods OF the
present thrifty secretary OF the navy are
very well understood, and it is not difficult
to find u reason sufficient to him for giving
this work to private parties. II is his rea-
son to the public which will be curiously
looked for. SECRETARY CHANDLER is al
legged to be interested in private ship-yards,
and he has recently made it impossible for
tho government navy-yards to compete
with private ship.yards by an order which
secures only eight hours work for ten
hours pay. SECRETARY CHANDLER will, OF
course, not offer these things to the public
as reason for giving the contracts tor the
new vessels to private parties"

PIERCE COUNTY.

This week advertisements have bssn
posted for forty carpenters to work on
railroad bridges, and twenty 70 work on
the coal bunkers; fifty tie-makers were
also required in Puyallup Valley. In
every branch Of labor, skilled and un-
akilled, il may be said that the supply
barely keeps pace with the demand.
Carpenters are paid from $3.50 to a
Der day, and men who handle the Ak,
pick and shovel about $2.50 per day.
New Tacoma was very quiet last sun
dsy. All OF the saloons closed their
doors, and il was believed that liquor
was inaccessible in this region, bat It was
stated that in the ancient settlement of
Tacoma city the saloons were in full
blast. Now there can be no good reason
vby the law should be observed In one
precinct and violated in another, and
a. the county officers have this matter
In hand, it would be we'll il they would
extend their supervision TO Tacoma city,
and see that the law is enforced there as
veil as in New Tacoma.
Chas. Is. Wright visited Tacoma last
Monday, and paid his respects to old
friends there, among them oar worthy
postmaster. Messrs. Wright and Walt
era we're boys together in Erie, Penn
sylvsnia, and their friendship through
life has never been broken. Mr.. Wright
and party also ,isited Hansen d Co.'S
mill and witnessed the operations OF
that great concern.
One day next week, Charles b. Wright
and party will make an excursion down
the Sound ON the tug Tacoma, which has
been placed ct their service BY Mana

On the trip and spend several hours in
that city, taking lunch during their

to what was estimated to be 10000. 1t was
very orderly crowd, and there was but very lit

A Dramatigt's Account.

Apropos of the great fluctuations to which
the income of a dramatist is liable, an anus
ing story is told about Burnand, author of
"The Colonel" The income tax commits
sioners never err on the wrong side in esti-
mating the incomes of their fellow citizens
Mr.. Burnand, who is decidedly pugnacious,
almost invariably appeals against his rating,
and the interviews OF the dramatist and edi-
tor of Punch with the commissioners are oc-
casionally rather funny.
One time, when appealing against an ex-
orbitant assessment, he wasasked to pro-
duce his ledger in proof of one of his state
ments. He replied that he had not got one.
"Sir," said stern commissioner, "you
must keep books of some kind"
''No, l DON'T" said Burnand, 81 write
them.'
''Well, you must keep accounts"
eyes, said Burnand, with suspicious
alacrity drawing an enormous number Of pa
pers out of his pocket, "and occasionally i
keep 'em long time, too"
He handed the bundle to the commission
er, and it turned out to consist of unpaid
domestic bills for meat, groceries, boots and
clothes
