The Police committee on Saturday in
quired into the charges preferred against Officer
Bishop by Assistant Marshal Karber. Alter
hearing evidence on both sidss, the committee
decided that they recommend that Officer
Bishop be reprimanded and fined.
The charge against Officer Bishop was that
he was asleep on duty, and this was explained
by the fact that he was sick at the time.
Bishop has proved courteous, exemplary
officer and it appears quite clear that the
ofense was misfortune not fault.
Hit with Pistol.
To be struck over the head with a six
shooter is an unpleasant kind Of feeling, but
T. Anderson would make no affidavit against
A. Cueller, who greeted him with the above
action. The police, however, got hold Of
both parties, and Anderson said he was by
Thompson's bookstore, when Cueller came
out and struck him with pistol, they having
had some words before. He threw his as
saulter down and took the pistol away. The
ARRAY was then stopped. Cueller said moth

PrestidigitatiOn.

[ChamberS' Journal.
Robert HOudin no doubt raised
prestidigitotion to the science in which
it stands at the present day, when the
Royal society does not diSdain to lis
ten to speculations as to the real ma
ture of some of it's recent manifesto
tions; and chemistry, electricity, OPP
tics, pneumaticS and most of the Olo-
gies are pressed into it's service. He
was the first to discard the flowing
robe and other traditional parapherna-
liza and reduce the accoutrement of the
modern sorcerer to ordinary evening
dress with a skeleton table, holding
that true skill lay in concealing not
only"how it is done, but show it might
be DONE" But as an actual per-
former it is questionable if he was the
equal of Hermann and several of the
more modern professors. The pater-
nal mantle has fallen upon the Shout
ders>of M. Observation-Disclosures, who,
as a little boy, used to assist his
father in many illusions which he
created; but the son devetes his tai
ent chiefly to the construction of eX-
Guisite automatic, which he exhibits,
in conjunction with sleight-of- hand,
at his pretty little boudoir theater in
PAS. His countrymen seem tO~D De
born conjurers. Only short time
ago saw one of them execute very
pretty little trick, solely, might say,
by virtue of his being a Frenchman;
a trick, at any rate, which would not
have been so characteristic of
an Englishman. Coming forward on
the stage as the curtain rose, he made
an amusing Introductory speech with
much characteristic gesticulation
hands extended and shoulders shrug-
ged Up to his ears, then he breathed
on his gloves, and prestol they van.
ished. The gloves-I got it from him
afterward-h no backs to them, and
were secured only by the tips of the
fingers, which barely covered the
nails; piece of strong elastic ran in
hem around the margin of each anG
kept them in position, the end passing
up the sleeve, to be attached to the
back of the wastcoat. A slight flee
ture of the fingers, therefore, freed
them and caused them to fly away
with lightning rapidity. But every
thing depended on the palms being
alone exposed. Frenchmen like, al
the time.

nothing on earth TO do
with it, over the head with sticks.
The day following, while out riding.
I saw a man-an Egyp' ian fellah of
high poSition-who was under-inSpeC
tor of the dykes and canals; he was in
chains and en- route to the Moodiriah,
help him. &C.," said l, "and l will
follow and see what comes of all this"
Well, went. He was accused of
having neglected his work, and there
by caused the disaster, all manner of
false witnesses being produced against
him by the real culpritS. | spoke to
the Moodir, imploring him not to
punish the innocent for the guilty,
and threatening that if he did would
expose the whole case. then left
few minutes and received by the
Moodir, with whom ] found the Turk
ish inspector, one of the real rascals.
"You are quite right" said the for
mer; "the man is innocent and we
are going to release him; in fact, my
orders to that effect have been given"
/ thanked him heartily and went
home. But eight days afterward-on
a certain Sunday evening" was
coming back from a fair, riding in
company with some Bedouins. We
were close to the spot where
the dyke had given way,
but which had now been
repaired. In front of us was a small
crowd of people gathered round some
object. What was it? Alasl it was
no other than my poor friend, the
under inspector, buried up to hisneck
in mud and earth, speeches., mad
dened and-dying. He had been there
exposed to the burning sun with
his head shaved-for the whole live
long day. Justice-the justice of the
Turk toward the Egyptian-had been
done. Ibraham Pasha himself had
ordered the terrible death sentence,
and the next day the poor fellow ex-
pired.

THE rule of the treasury depart
ment of late years has been to inter
pref all doubtful cases concerning
taxes in favor of the higher instead
lower rate. The idea is that the
people can better afford to pay than
than the protected interests can lose.
This is the Republican theory, to
which Democracy is opposed. DEM
ocracy holds that it is better to favor
the people than the privileged monop-
olists. 1t holds that it is not in &C
cord with popular rights; that the law
should be interpreted in favor of, and
not against the people. If there be a
doubt in the criminal trial, it goes
to the benefit of the accused. If
there be reasonable ground for be-
lievlng that congress did not in
tend to impose certain burdens upon
the country, the decision of the treas
ury department should not infiict
them. 1t is clearly stated, that all tax
alton is opposed to natural right, and
that taxes can only be levied through
the acquiescence of the people. The
right to tax is concession, grant
conferred, and not a debt to be ex-
acted upon any other grounds than
popular consent. On this basis the
democratic antagonism to protective
tariffs is largely founded, and the
theory that one part of the people
shall be taxed for the benefit of in
dividuals is contrary to the idea of
equal rights. 1t is hostile to our
conceptions of popular government,
in the degree that this country has,
under the law, no privileged classes.
The people may confer the privilege
as an act of grace or a gratuity, but
there is nothing in the genius of our
Institution to justify the exaction as
a constitutional or legal right. Where
a doubt, therefore exist as to the
intention of congress, the public
should have the benefit of the doubt.
There is no power, inherent or ac-
quired, to impose heavier burdens
upon the people than their explicit
assent allows. and those who do il
choose between their fealty to this
sovereign power, from which all law:
emanate, and the allegiance to thu
licensed parasites of the public treas
