the good of the State, OF his col.stit.

600 a year, it is said, to maintain hi
several places of residence-his ele
CANT winter home in Washington

tage at Conway, n. H., and his will;
at Mount Desert, Me.
Mr.. VANDERBILT thinks he cal
afford to take a vacation. He hat
worked very hard, pecuniarily, dur
ing the last year, has purchased
seven or eight railroads, and cut tn
coupons off about s60,000.000 wortl
of government bonds, to say nothin!
ofmoving into his new S2,0O0,00'
house. Mr.. Vanderbilt deserves
rest.

Mr.. HENDRICKS has written a let
ter in opposition to civil service re
form, on the ground bat the Demo
Gratis are entitled to the fruits of vic
tory. He is not in favor of a perma

THERE is a sort of poetic justice il
the proposal of Chicago to increas,
her police force to 500 men an,
make the saloons support them
The plan is to raise the license o
each saloon 500 a year. It's argued
