Raise the Troublesome three or fonr
days Last week communi alton was entire
ly cut off between South Tolede and Per-
rysburg by the water backing np two or
three feet deep over the pike this side of
the bridge. Pedestrians could reach the
bridge by passing over the old Junction
railroad em',ankmemt which, with the icy
condition of the surface made this extra
hazardous. The Iaicas county authorizes
have raised the road between the bridge
aud the hill 20 q sufficient hight to prevent
any trouble in this respect. We are not
clear Ms to whose duty il is TO make the
improvement on the road or pike this side
of the bridge, hut there are many who are
clearin the opinion that such improvement
should lie made, and that, too, before
another year rolls around. Almsst every
year in the future we may reasonably ex-
pect to have the river food the pike ri
the point named.

Tree Plamting.-rhe question of set

each side of our wide Streets say ten or
twelve feet distant from the curbstone, and
cullivaling narrow strips Of lawn between
the double row of trees, was introduced al
the Business Mems meeting on Monday
evening, and the proposition received the
hearty approval oil all who gave expression
to their feelings upon the subject. Very
many of our people have expressed nd
miralion of the beautiful streets Of Detroit,
and TO this feature that city is more in
debled than any other for it's beauty. It's
streets are not wider than those of Perrys-
burg. yet they have plenty OF room for all
business purposes after some 20 OF 20 ieet
IL taken up in handsome lawns and shade
trees The extra expense OF planting and
cultivating would be but iriae to each
property owner, compared with the addi.

Perrysburg can, with a small additional
expense and some labor, be Pu; In con-

The appointment of a commission by
the government for the purpose of ar
bitrating a certain portion of the star
route cases while the others are under
going criminal prosecution in the
courts is sure to lead to unfavorsble
comment on the part of the public
Ordinarily people will utterly fail to
comprehend why the government
should make fish of one set of these
famous cases and flesh of another.
While it is quite possible that arbitrs-
ton may result in saving more money
to the government than criminal prose-
cution it is to be supposed that the law
department, by prosecuting q part of
the cases, did so because it was decided
to be Of more importance to the gov
ernment to punish evil-doers than to
try to recover the stolen money by an
arbitration which practically cOndones
a crime, if i crime was committed.
And if that was the line of reasoning
which led to the prosecution of Brady,
Dorsey and others, consistency de-
mands that all implicated should re-
ceive the same treatment.

THE character of the conspiracy to
throw away the fifty million of revenue
derived from tobacco in order to
keep on the monstrous tariff on cloth
ing and steel may be Illustrated in this
way: The entire cost of the postal SER
vice during the last fiscal year Was but
a little more than $40,000,000. Therev-
enue derived from a reasonable tax on
tobacco would pay the whole cost of
transportating and delivering the let
tiers, newspapers and packages which
are handled by the post-office depart
ment. Ifs reduction of the surplus
revenue be the pretext for the pro-
posed repeal of the tobacco tax, then
the same end could be achieved by
setting aside the revenues for tobacco
for the support OF the postal system.
There would then be s40,0OOOOO less
per annum to squander upon extrava-
gances, subsidies, and jobs, but the
saving would inure to the benefit OF
the intelligence and business of the
country, and not those who are addict
ed to an enervating vice. Revenue re.
form ought to approve Of this means
for cutting down the surplus instead o.
that which is proposed; at all events, 8
good idea of the enormity of the
bounty which it desired to bestow upon
the consumers of tobacco may be OBJ
tanned from the reflection that the rev
ehue to be surrendered l.ould provide
the American people with cheap post
ese. 1t can scarcely be disputed that
the dissemination of knowledge and
the facllitation of commercial exchan.
ges through the mails are of more value
to the people than the cheapening oi
nssacco.

SIR JAMES HANNEN, the president of

the other day from the bench the
power lodged in his court, which enables
him to issue a decree restoring to 8
husband his conjugal rights. His Oh
seryations were called forth by q case
which came before him under peculiar
circumstances. A person had, in 1881,
obtained decree against his wife,
which the wife disobeyed-that, is she
declined to live with her husband, and
would not be compelled. He next got
an order Of attachment, but failed to
serve it, and, discovering the lady
had found shelter in the house of Mr..
Orrell Lever, M. p, he applied to the
court for an attachment against him.
The contention of counsel was that Mr..
Lever was assisting the lady to evade
the jurisdiction of the court. 81 90

They saw themselves completely hem
med in and surrendered. Pellet and
MsNamee were handcufei together
and placed in one of the hacks with
Henderson and Megargee. Chew occu-
pied the other, with two reporters as
his guards, while the wagon, which
contained six staiwart negroes, was
taken in charge by the two remaining
pursurers. The load was driven to a
Sansom street stable, while the prison
ers were conveyed to places of safety.
To-day permission was obtained from
the coroner to transfer the six bodies
from the Sansom street stable, ii which
they have lain since last night, to the
morgue. At tbs latter place they will
remain until legal proceedings may
necesSitate their removal.
Earl y this morning Megargee, accom-
panied by Pinkerton Detective Hen
derson, started ont in search of Robert
Chew, superintendent of the grave
yard, and Andrew Mullen better
known as "Yank," who is in the
employ of McNamee. The two officers
proceeded to the Lebanon graveyard.
and there found superintendent Chew
sitting on a chair at desk in his office
de was informed that they had war
rant for his arrest, and at once consent
ed to go with them. The superinteud-
ent was conducted to Pinkerton's office
on Third street above Chestnut, where
ne was placed in safe custody. Nc
Nance has contract with the United
States for carrying mails from this city
to Newton Square, Delaware county,

to convey mails to that place. After
seeing that Chew was safely cared for
the officers resumed their search for
Yank.' Going to McNamee's stables, at
8 6 Sansom street, the officers found
"Yank" preparing to go for the mails.
He was hitching his horseto the wagon
when ne was approached by Megar-
gee and Henderson, who read tie war
rant TO him and requested him to 'go
peaceably with them. Mullen refused
to go with them on the ground that he
had mails in his possession and was
employed by the United States. The
officers replied if he did not go with
them pesceably they would use force
to COMPEL him. He then offered to go
along with them, and was taken to the
office on Third street He requested
to be allowed his liberty so that he
could attend to the carrying of the
mails, and this was consented tosafter
he gave his promise that he would ap-
pear at this Office this afternoon.
