SEATTLE, W. L., July y, 1884.
John Eeary, Esq.-DEAR SIR: In re-
sponse to your note of this date in rela-
ton to an article published In the Hir-
ror, have 10 say that the editor of the
Mirror called upon me a few days ago
for information concerning the delin-
quent assessments for street improve
ments. The information asked for be
ING a matter of public interest freely
gave him al the information asked for.
did not state to him that YOU had alb
solutely refused to pay your assessment
or assessments against property owned
by you. but gave him your name along
with others who are in arrears on
assessments,
1t is true, as stated In your letter, that
you have not refused to pay, and that
y0o were holding grade scrip and de-
sired TO realize from that before max
ing payment.
The property on Ninth street was
assessed to g. g. Phinney before you
became the owner of IL. and you agreed
to pay the assessment, but deferred
payment for the reason above stated
While think a tax fighter" an un-
safe person to trust with ths manage
ment Of our municipal affairs, do not
regard you ~ being in that position.
IL is certainly TO your interest to have
all assessments paid.
Respectfully, RICHARD OSBORN.

The newspapers Of Texas have long
suffered an abrldgement OF their rights
and their dues by the law relating to
legal advertising, in which but one class
Of legal notices are published, and that
an occasional citation. The Hillsboro
Mirror, on this subject, says: 1--WE
hope to see a law enacted by the next
Legislature requiring the publication Of
all :sheriff's sales, trustees sales, guar
dian notices, administrators notices, and
in fact all notices that are issued for in
formation. The present mode OF stick
ing a written notice in three conspicu-
Gus ~ places in the county is nonsense,
and In many instances is the means of
defrauding widows and orphans and
good citizens out OF their property.

watch the walls or doors of a court house

next French budget. The preamble
reads: considering the growing de-
crease in the population in France. II
has become necessary 10 Impose tax on
all single persons over - years OF age Of

versed on the subject adds: "Some of
the causes Of this decrease are that no
Frenchman under % can marry with
out the consent Of his parents. This
consent is invariably withheld II the girl
is portionless. On the other hand, II
the girl be well provided for, her kins-
folk will not only not let her marry I'M

A CORRESPONDENT writes TO the Rock
port Transcript, regarding a route to
deep water for the San Antonio and
Aransas Pass railroad as follows: at is
plain to our mind that II the directors
OF the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad wish to find short line and one
attended with comparatively little ex-
pense to reach deep water, they would
order survey to be made from Rock
port, crossing Puerto bay at its mouth,
and st. Mary's bay at point two miles
above st. Mary's. Both places have
good bottoms and only require an in
spection by the company to adopt the
route. These bays are quite shallow,
and will not require much additional
expense to cross the road by them. A
glance at the map will show many miles
can be saved by this line, and many dol
lars retained in the company's hands by
adopting 1t. There is no better way to
deep water than down the chain Of
islands from Rockport to the light
house, and besides, there are nine feet
Of water up to the wharf at Rockport,
which will prove quite an advantage to
the road In its construction"

Mr.. ELwooD HISE, traveller in the

lish, Scottish, Irish and Welsh people.
The Normans who conquered England

pie OF America are descendants Of Ma

"a FEW years ago." says the New
York Tribune, "some American critics,
who clearly had not freed themselves
from Old World Ideas, began TO say that
the American farmer was becoming too
extravigant, and that his profuslon was
the cause Of hard times. 1t seemed that
he would not rest content with purely
animal life. He wanted comfort in his
surroundings. He wanted education
for his children, newspapers and books
for himself. He even aspired to carpet
for his parlor and piano for his daugh-
tiers. All this, the critics thought, was
very sad, and plain proof OF degenera-
tion In our agriculturists. But 1t was
nothing Of the kind. 1t was simply the
evolution Of the American idea. The
farmer was right to seek comfort and
intellectual nourishment, and education
for his children, and music, and cheer
full and beautiful surroundings. 1t is
the people who set their ideal high who
come nearest to attaining it, and De-
mocracy would he mockery and de-
fusion II 1t did not stimulate the masses
to better things, and make them discon-
tented with sordid and narrow modes Of
living. The spread OF the American
idea cannot be hindered, either. 1t has
given to this country Its greatness and
strength, and its success on this CONT
nent is guarantee for Its propagation
wherever the majority are still unen-
franchised. Leisure to think and to act;
a margin for intellectual expansion; OPP
portunity to develop manhood and wom-
anhood; these are the demands which
the people everywhere are making or
about to make, because they know that
In America the idea of mans destiny and
rights has been largely worked out to a
satisfactory conclusion. Nor IL there a
| possibility that the leaven OF the Amer
lean idea will cease to work until II has
lsavened the whole mass Of the Old
World"

THE RESULT.

The result In the county Is gratifying
to the friends Of the people, and for
square dealing In politics. The Peoples
ticket as whole Is conceded ahead by a
small majority; but in view Of the fight
that was made and the obstacles TO be
overcome, any majority Ia as important
as II II had been composed Of four flg-
ures. Bexar county has done nobly and
has set an example for other counties in
Texas as illustrating what the people
can do when they take matters In their
own hands. But the election is over.
Let Us bury the dead, take care Of the
dlsabl, d, bind up their wounds, and take
up the thread Of the daily life where It
was left of before the campaign opened
and look to the future for local improve
ments, prosperity, and the general ad-
vancement Of both county and city.
