,,avers sl,s5ia he tborouehly aroused to d

payers, should be thoroughly aroused to do their duty and exert all the influence they possess to secure wise and economical gov ernment in both city and town affairs. What is the Taxpayers' association doing Much has been expected from it during the year 1884. but we see no results but petition of the officers of the association to the Common
 Council to reduce taxes. We hope they will be thoroughly efficient in 1885 and they can accomplish great good. It is an association very much needed.
 notice that an effort IS to De made to consolidate the town and city governmenst. This may be wise II I, IL can be properly done, but when done the property owners in the town should not pc compelled to pay more taxes than they now pay. For there is great injustice in making them pay, by the change of name merely, city taxes, when the city can give no eorre- spending benefits for such increased taxation.
 The different corporations that govern us bring the citizens of New Haven into debt to them eaeh year in sums the aggregate OF which is S94G, GOO It is evident that this sum is S18S, ,O0O more thsn it ought to be, and every taxpaying citizen who has hls own interest and. that of the town and city and 1ts future prosperity at heart should not rest until the taxes are properly reduced-to SIX teen mills from twenty mills, as they now are, with the prospect of going to twenty 1 three to twenty five mills.
 The majority of the public work done by
 the city or town should be contracted fo1 with responsible men at reasonable prices and superintended by honest and competent In. spectors. Seven wise and honest men would govern the city better than Council that does not represent either the intelligence ol taxpayers of the city. INDEX.

IS HE A REAL REFORMER?


 A great many people all over this broad land would very much like to know how much and what kind of Civil Service re- former the next President of the United States will be. In his letter accepting the nomination for governor of New York Mr. Cleveland said: FtSubordinates in public places should be selected and retained for their efficiency, and not because they may be used to accomplish partisan ends. The peo- pie have right to demand that their money be paid to those who will render the best service in return, and that the appointment to and tenure of such places should depend upon ability and merit" Not satisfied with this the Civil Service Reform association of New York addressed certain questions to him, and he replied: q have no hesitation in saying that fully approve the principles embodied in the Pendleton bill" He added among other things: FtIt seems to me that very much or all we desire in the direction of Civil Service reform is included in the doctrine that the concerns of the State and Nation should be conducted on business prin- ciples and as nearly as possible in the same manner that prudent citizen conducts his private affairs" In his letter accepting the nomination for President Governor Cleve- land said: FFThe selection and retention of subordinates in government employment should depend upon their ascertained fitness and the value of their work, and they should be neither expected nor allowed to do ques- tionable party service"
 All this indicates that tfTe Presfdent-el is hearty believer in the Civil Service re- form. But the question is, How much will he do in the way of carrying on the reform. The New York World answers this question in a ''double-1eaded' and powerful arti- cle which contains cheer for some of those who now depend for their daily bread upon government money. The World assures us that when the President-elect takes office he will make a thoroughly Democratic ad- ninistration by calling to the leading posi- tions of the government the most reliable and trusted Democratic statesmen of the country. But ''he will make no clean sweeps of mere petty subordinates on account of their Republicanism provided they are ca pablo, honest and experienced and have not been vile partisans.'' And again, the World says Lnat Oo"efhor CIeNelanu VIII give Ine country genuine Civil Service reform, by making capacity, fidelity and honesty once again the test for public positions indepen- dent of political considerations, and retain ing for the people the services of those who hold, not political but subordinate places, who have not acted as partisans and who come up to the Jeffersonian standard. If the World has the correct idea of Gov. ernor Cleveland as Civil Service reformer and very likely it has, some of the Republi can oficeholders may yet be happy. One 1 thing is certain, the new President could moi | do better thing for his country or for him self than to be genuine Civil Service re for,,,ar

 The salary of Prince Bismarck is 54,0O0 marks-about 3,000-per annum, besides residence and all expenses. Field Marshal Moltke, the head of the German army, is paid $9, 9,O00-$3, 900 as salary and $6, 900 pen sion-besides residence and rations for six horses German foreign ministers are paid London and St. Petersburg, ,000; Vien- na, Paris and Constantinople, $28, 800; Washington, $15,000. In addition they are provided residences and servants.
 The contest over the assistant clerkship of the house is an active one. There are four lively candidates in the field; William J. McConville of Hartford, who nearly secured the coveted prize at the last session, H. H. Brainard of Haddam, also contestant at the last session, A. E. McC Matthewson, a young lawyer of Woodstock, and Frank L. Rogers of Fairfield, who was member of the house two years ago. Either of these gentlemen would make good assistant clerk.
 The catalpa twigs which were set out by the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad com pany two years ago are now about three inches in diameter, and in three years more will be large enough for cross-ties. Some five years ago Lawrence, Massachusetts, gentleman planted few catalpa seeds, and now has several beautiful trees fully eight feet tall, which this year blossomed for the first time. Catalpas have recently been set out in the Boston Public Garden, and large numbers of them are now being raised in Iowa, the idea being to use the wood for fence rails. These trees grow so rapidly that the matter of raising them from the seed or | twig is well worthy the attention of all per sons interested in forestry.
 The substitution of glass flooring for boards continues to increase in Paris, this being especially the case in those business structures in which the cellars are used as offices. At the headquarters of the Credit l Lyonnais, on the Boulevard des Ita1iens, the l whole of the ground floor is paved with large squares of roughened glass embedded in a strong iron frame, and in the cellars beneath l there is thus sufficient light, even on dull i days, to enable the clerks to work without gas.

Dull Times.

Mir. l. $. Fried, who has visited ex- tensIvely the towns and cities of the east, says the people of Tucson have TO reason to complain of dull times. for they are worse there Even in New York city the stagnation in commerce is depiorable, and many retail dealers do not take in enough cash for their current expenses. The cause uf this state of affairs lies in the general over produc- ton by the farmers with DO foreign de- mand, together with the uncertain and unsettled state of none a V matters and values. Tue bauk- hold large sums fl money and refuse to loan on the best security. fearing Q possible run by de- positors and keeping n mind the recent disasters m banking cIrc!es. Until con- tdence IL fully restored tbere can te no revival of trade DOT a general circula- tiOn Of money. The p p,ralyzsd condl- tiOn of trade IS universal. and Mr. Fried thinks If those who complain of the dulluess here could yisit the east they would realize that Tucson Is a lively business place n comparison. His statements are indeed comforting and the knoNledge that the pr, sent dAllness is not local ID its character IS gratifying indeed.
