Sir: l see in your weekly Of February
q a letter from Circleville, Pendletor
county, treating Of the ruling Of the "Greet
Usurper'in imposing taxes on the farmers,
Of the reassessment Of land, and giving
some facts as to the impositions practiced
upon the citizens o fPsndleton county alike
with the inhabitants Of tie other counties
OF the State. l was born and raised in
Pendteton, and know every person we'll.
I think the writer Of the article referred to
was a Democrat once, RS most OF the voters
in that neighboshood are, and he has be-
come dia9ustod with that party aud turned
over TO the Republicans, as great many
people are doing. 1 believe the Demo-
cratic party is becoming 80 gorged at the
present state Of affairs that thin fall the
State will 20 Republican by a good major.
ity.
With some such man as the old war
governor, F. H. Pierpont, at the head OF
the ticket it can be done. Compare the
present financial condition Of the State
with tina. Of his time. We have got TO
wake ny, nominate good men and elect
them. l think f. H. Pierpont will always
do what is to TIE living and growing inter.
eats OF the Slate. lie is no proud LAWYER,
but q man whose Interests are identified
with the mass Of tho people. Think We
can't do better than to nominate him, and
he can DO elected by a large majority.
I came to this county in 1879, and ex.
pect to remain here. / know that men in
Pendleton county pay taxes on land that is
scarcely worth the tax. When I came to
this county people were ~grumbling abont
the hard times and the high taxes, but
I've often remarked to friends that / was
glad I had moved hers. Why, over in Pen.
dleton there is a cry from every taxpayer
that they can hardly pay their taxes at all;
while I can hear wealthy farmers here saw
that it is like making q payment on the
land itself to pay the assessed taxes. And
| have an idea that il they have increased
the tax in Pendleton ss in this county,
they might as we'll sell old Pendleton out, il
a buyer can be found.
II some Of the leading men of the State,
who are the cause OF all this trouble, could
&c. out among the farmers and hear the
cries Of the poor and rich man ascending
together it would make their hearts ache,
And II repentance is in them it would Ger.
tainly make them repent.
This State is rich in iron, coal and tim.
Der, and the high tax is a drawback to i'm.
migration. Yet with that drawback 1 see
tho drilt west from here has about stopped,
This county is rich in minerals, and on
Beaver creek we have veins Of coal from
fifteen to twenty feet thick. The railroad
just finished is doing a good work for the
county, and when it il extended through
Randolph 10 the G. & 0. will do more.

Bismarck In the Lasker matter has shown
once more that men whom the world re.
CARDS as great ale capable Of little things.
In this affair the Chancellor olthe German
Empire hls shown us the man and the Of.
fetal in q new and certainly not attractive
light.
In the man who carries his resentment
10 the grave; who flashes across the ocean
his personal ill.will 10 ttlfont a friendly
nation; who sets upon the American Min.
lister a pack Of yelping ours, who cau see
tho great mind which has bstllsd Eu.
rope in diplomacy, which realized the
dream ola united Germany, which insti,u.
ted great fiscal Ieiorms and revived the
languishing industries OF bis country? 1t
seems that the great man has fallen into
his dotage, or that some imbecile is mas.
querading in the Chancellor's robes.
The resolution OF respect and coincidence
was entirely in order. A distinguished
member Of a foreign parliament died sud.
denly in this country under circumstances
Of peculiar sadness. In bis own country
he wa a leader Of thought, and in the Par.
lament was conspicuous among the fore.
most. Bismarck owed 10 Lasker at least
the debt Of decent behavior at the grave.
Lasker, though a leader Of the National
Liberals, had for many years acted in prac.
teal accord with Bismarck. Lasker criti.
cizsd with freedom the policy Of Bismarck,
but in the main he and his friends gave
that policy their support
From 1860 to 1878 Lasker fought gener.
ally on the Princes eide. He aided him
in his measures against the church, and in
carrying through certain judicial reforms.
Never a slavish follower, such as Bismarck
prefers, he gave him support which was
valuable and more than once publicly &C.
knowledged. Until 1878 the Chancellor
accorded with the policy OF free trade. But
now he listened to the voice Of supplica-
ton, saw that Germany industry was at
great disadvantage, and resolved upon a
policy Of protection. The National Liber-
als divided. Lasker took his place in the
opposition, and there more than once
proved a thorn in the Chancellor's tlesh.
The American Congress by its resolution
Of coincidence did not approve one policy
and condemn the other. It condoled-
that was all there was OF it. Bismarck has
seized upon the opportunity to slap in the
face Laskers party, and the Israelitish race
Of which he has never been fond to settle
old ecorea at the tomb; to make mouths
at a republic whose form is a menace to
monarchy, and which draws yearly to its
fields and factories the raw material which
would have gone into his army; and to
make Berlin uncomfortable for the Ameri.
can Minister, who has stood by his own
country in the Chancellor's war on Ameri-
can products.

The President TO National fllre Holders
There hes teen a good deal Of interested
speculation concerning the attitude Of the
Administration towards the presidential
nomination. In addition to this there
have been whisperings and accusations i'm.
plicating the President in a achemeto press
into his personal service the national Office
holders Of the country. In view OF all this
the following Washington dispatch will be
read with interest and pride:
,WAsu1Eo1oS, February 29.-A gentleman
who called upon the President yesterday.
stated 10 him that car.ain subordinate Of.
ticers Of the Postoitl:o Department IN a west.
ern State, had expressed q fear OF removal in
case they advocated his denomination, be.
cause the Senator who controls the patronage
In that State Is himself q candidate for the
Presidency, and claimed their allegiance and
assistance. The President sa,d be was sur
prised to hear this, and hoped 1t was not
true. He believed every citizen, whether be
was In official position or not, vas entitled
to the right and privilege to freely express
his preference, and work for the nomination
Of his ~iavorite, so far az he could do so with.
out interference with his official dutiep.
Ho further said every employee OF the Gov.
ernment should be protected In the exercise
OF the widest political liberty. No post.
master or other official had q right to dictate
to any subordinate what they should do, OF
whom they should favor for the Presidency
CT any office. Every post office clerk or cas-
ries had the same privilege Of lavoring and
working for the candidate he preferred that
his superior officer had, and he would in ali
cases be protected in the exercise OF that
privilege.
This is good doctrine and a timely guar.
anlee. 1t is, moreover, what might have
been expected Of a man who has borne
himself in his Office rs President Arthur
has. It covers the whole ground Of the
office holders relation to the public Ser.
vice and to his party. It is taken for
granted that a second term would be CRATE
full to President Arthur; If 60 the high and
patriotic stand he has taken will not in.
jure any chance he may have.
What the President says is also a point.
cd suggestion to Senators who control pa.
~tronage."

MYSTERIES OF SODA.

Under a caption of "a business that
Pays" large dealer in soda water
apparatus thus enlightens the trade on
'the profits which dealers in carbonat-
ed beverages may reasonably hope to
make, which," he says, "can be readily
inferred from the following accurate
estimate of the cost of manufacturing
each beverage" In the dispensing
department" -this is, selling from the
fountain-the following are the actual
costs:
One glass of plain soda water costs.
one-tenth of cent.
One glass of soda water with syrup
costs one cent and half.
One glass of mineral water costs one
cent.
One glass of root beer costs one
cent. j
One glass of ginger ale costs one
cent and a quarter.
One glass of fine draught champagne
costs four cents.
"In the bottling department the foS-
lowing scale of costs prevail
Plain soda water, best quality, put
up in bottles closed by corks and fast
eners, costs eight cents per dozen.
Ditto, with gravitating shoppers,
costs three cents a dozen.
Ginger ale in bottles, with corks and
wires, costs seventeen cents dozen.
Ditto, with gravitating shoppers,
costs twelve cents dozen.
Mineral waters in siphons costs
three cents siphon.
Sparkling champagne (domestic),
best quality, costs twenty-five cents
per quart bottle.
From simple comparison OF the
foregoing scale of costs, and the we'll
known retail charges for the same ar
ticles, the inference drawn by the man.
ufacturer that it is business that pays
appears to be correct one.
Then list is given of the material
included in the outfit for this business.
WeAfnd in this catalogue the follow
ing items:
Sulphuric acid and marble dust to
make the carbonic acid gas which
gives the sparkling quality. ~
Chemical extracts for the favors.
Coloring to initiate raspberry, straw
berry and other fruits.
Gum foam to give it an artificial
form which enables the retailer to sell
half glass of soda as trimming
glassful.
Tartaric and citric acid to do duty
for lemon soda.
Coloring to make something sold for
sarsaparilla.
There is one item called an "acid
dispenser which appears to be essen
tial in handling, acids and other cor
rosive ingredients. We are not in
formed if any such acids and corrosive
substances are eliminated during the
manufacture or during their passage
into the human stomach. Such facts
remain among the mysteries of "a bus
mess which pays.

THE MAGIC POWER OF MONEY.

He was small boy, but he whistled
like steam calliope as he came joy
ously down Courtlandt street about 5
o'clock tossing silver quarter into the
air and catching it behind his back.
At the corner Of West street the quar-
ter and his hand failed to connect, and
the coin fell with triumphant jingle
to the pavement.
"No yer DON'T" said the boy, "fur f
| lose that quarter, where'll come on
de pool fur drinks ter night ?" and
down he went on his knees. So did a
messenger boy who had heard the
quarter drop and was filled with a
desire to find the quarter on his own
account. Two newsboys and boot
black volunteered their services in the
search, while walking advertisement
for somebody's soap felt likewise i'm
PEELED to find it. The next moment
four shop girls, who came sailing down
the street arm-in-in, stopped for a
moment, and then, moved by a COM
mon curiosity, bent over the kneeling
group. Within a quarter of minute
fully "a score of people had halted on
their way to the ferry to see what was
the matter, and before they could move
on were hemmed in by a hundred more
who wanted to know the same thing.
In less than two minutes the street
was completely blocked, and as those on
the outside of the crowd we're trying to
force their way in with their elbows
and those inside were trying to push
their way out, the harmony of the oc-
casion was not conspicuous.
Meanwhile the most alarming and
conflicting rumors sprang up as to
what was the matter.
"a lady lost her diamond ring"
"That amt it; mans dropped
dead of heart disease"
Then at this every one transformed
himself into human auger and tried
to squeeze themselves in through the
crowd so as to get glimpse Of what
was going on.
II took three policemen and heirt
clubs four minutes to get to the center
of the crowd, where they found the
small boy minus the quarter and nearly
crushed to death. They promptly
pulled him up on the charge Of lob
structing the public highway" but on
the earnest intercession of several gen.
tlemen, let him go and turned his at
tention to dispensing the crowd, which
they succeeded in doing only after
about three hundred people had missed
the boat for the $40 train on the Jer-
sey side.-N. Y. Herald.
