The Charges Against Agent Horton.
WASHINGTON, July 1i.-Internal Revenue
Commissioner Evans received last
Sunday the report of Collector Slack Of Boston
who has investigated the charges of bribery
and other improper official conduct against the
newly appointed revenue agent, Mr.. Horton.
Mr.. Evans refuses to divulge the nature of the
report and says he shall not before next Satur-
day. The Boston Advertisers correspondent,
however. states positively that the report shows
that the charges are sustained fully. 1t is
thought that Evans's delay is caused by an ef-
fort to get evidence In rebuttal.

Young Gunners.

The Century talks to the young shots as
follows
"In shooting at I'M incoming bird, let him
be ont of sight and just below the rib of your
gun at the moment of firing. AT bird going
overhead, wait till he has passed well over,
then shoot nnder him. A tstraightaway shots
hold little high, so that you just catch n
glimpse of the bird over your barrels"
"In shooting at cross shots, it should be
understood that the velocity of an ounce of
No 8 shot, driven with three drains of pow
der, is near to 900 feet per second. In that
second Bob White if under full Roadway,
will go SS feet, if we estimate the velocity of
his flight so low as only mile minute. If
he is flying directly across your line of sight
and thirty yards off, the shot will take one
tenth of second to reach that distance, and
in one-tenth of Il second the bird has gone
over eight and eight-tenths feet. &c. if we
should fire II snap shot directly at cross fly
ing birds, thirty yards distant, the centre of
the cloud of shot would fall about nine feet
behind him and he would pass by unscratch-
ed To kill him clean, you must hold nine
feet ahead of him. To some sportsmen, nine
feet may seem great distance to hold
ahead on a cross-tlying bird thirty yards
away, but not to those who have noticed at
tentiyey the relations of the line of their
aim to the position OF the bird at the very
moment they hear the report of the gun.
Also destinations of distances in the air beside
a small and quickly moving object are very
unreliable, and often when the sportsman
thinks he has fired only one foot ahead of a
bird he has really held ahead three feet. Let
some one suspend horizontally in the air an
unfamiliar object that must be distant from
fence rails and other things whose dimen.
sions you know, and then guess its length
You will, after few trials, be satisfied that
the estimation of actual lengths at thirty
yards is very loose guess work"

IN many of the business houses in Paris,
and especially in those of which the cellars
are used as offices, glass is now being extern
sively employed instead of boards for floor
ing. At the headquarters of the Credit
Lyonnais, on the Boulevard de Italiens, the
whole of tine ground floor is paved with large
squares of roughened glass imbedded in u
strong iron frame, and in the cellars beneath
there is, on even dull days, sufficient light to
enable the clerks to work without gas. The
large central hall at the offices of the Comp
toir d Escompte has lately been provided
with similar flooring and it is said that al
though its prime cost is considerably greater
than that of boards, glass is in the long run
far cheaper, owing to its almost unlimited
durability. The material is cast in slabs
about eighteen inches square by an inch and
half thick, and transmits blush light

Principles of the Democratic Party.

The principles of the Democratic party are
| the principles enunciated in the Constitution.
| The party is founded upon the Constitution,
and must last as long as that covenant shall
| exist If this fact were better understood,
| the Democratic party would be stronger
| There are many men who hold Just the sam
views and principles the Democratic party
| contend for, but vote and work for the OPP
position under misrepresentation. There are
men who became ofage during the war and
since who vote with the Republican party just
because they believe the Democratic party
tried TO break up the Union aud that tie
Republican saved it. They do not know that
that the majority of the people of the
South were Wings in ante bellum days, and
that the majority of the people in the North
were opposed TO the Republican party The
Democrats were the most numerous, the
Republicans next and the Wings next The
Democrats and Wings combined were one
third more numerous than the Republicans.
To maintain the Union all parties enlisted
General Butler, himself Democrat, took to
the war from Massachusetts command al
most entirely composed of Democrats. Gen.
Grant, General Hancock, Gen Mcclellan,
Gen Slocum Gen. Corse and many other
Federal generals were Democrats Lincolns
u
war was prosecuted mainly by Democrats
and Wings, whilst the Republicans held the
offices and grew rich by government con-
tracts. The war would have been closed in
half the time it lasted but for Republican of
flee holders and contractors, The former
wanted to hold on and secure election-the
latter wanted to increase their fortunes by
contracts. These are facts that cannot be
successfully denied
Having disposed of the fallacy that the
Democrats cnd"avored to break up the Union
and the Republican party preserved it, we
now proceed to state the principles of the
Democratic party. Those principles were
commended for when the war of the Revolu-
ton was fought; were contended for when
the Constitution was formed, and were con-
densed from the Constitution by Thomas JEFF
ferson in his inaugural address upon assum-
ing the Presidency in 1901. He summed
them up as follows
Equal and exact justice to all men, of what
ever state or persuasion, religious or politi-
cal;
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship
with all nations-e ntangling alliances with
none;
The support of the State governments in
all their rights, as the most competent adj
ministrations for our domestic concerns, and
the surest bulwarks against anti-republican
ntencies;
The preservation of the general govern.
ment in its whole constitutional vipor' ~ the
sheet anchor ofour peace Mt home and safety
abroad;
A jealous care of the right of election by
the people;
Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of
the moioritv-ibe vital nrincinle If rcnnhlics
from which there ia no onneal I'm, tn force
the vital principle and immediate norent Of
desnotism.
