The pictures are equally as striking.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF SECRETARY.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board OF
the Board of Managers The applications
for the quarter just closing have been 5l7,
while those for the entire year preceding this
quarter were only $50. OF this number SO
have been Catholics and 421 Protestants. OF
the Catholics two were refused as unworthy,
eight were referred to Catholic societies for
aid, and eighty-three received aid from this
society The rule has been, where the appli-
cants were regular attendants upon any of
the Catholic churches of this city, to refer
them to the person officially charged with the
relief work in the parish to which the appli-
can't belonged, the names of such persons
having been kindly furnished me by
DR.. j. G. Markoe. But when Cath
Ole applicants have been nonresident
or on-attendants upon Catholic churches,
here, and therefore not likely to receive aid
from the parish committees, they have been
aided, if deemed worthy, the same as others.
The relief afforded has been as follows:

The Blair roads, operated by the Northwestern
and now bought by that company, are the Cedar
Rapids and Missouri river, the line from Cedar
Rapids to Council Bluffs, and the Maple Valley,
the line from Maple Valley junction on the
main line to Mapleton with branch from Wall
Lake on this line to Kingsley. The total length
of Blair road bed leased by the Northwestern is
800 miles. On this system the Northwestern
paid last year rentals amounting to 81 ,57O,-
91S.a7. 1t is estimated that the interest on the
bonds which the company will assume by the
purchase viii be at least S150,0OO less per year.

the same. Carried, and the order to be
carried out, no matter who is guilty. Spe-
cial mention was made of certain slabs
piled by some mill owners.
The Comptroller was ordered to purchase
such tile as may be necessary.
Alderman Wheeler stated that the Second
street sewer needed to be overhauled and
considerably enlarged. The said sewer,
and also the one on 9TH street, was referred
to committee ON streets, who were requested
to examine the same, and report to the
Council what was needed.
Police Justice stated that the city had no
contract with the Detroit House of Correc-
ton that certain men were well satisfied
with being boarded at the county Jail, and
thought il there was some prospect of such
men being sent to the Detroit House of
Correction, they would not be 80 willing to
commit acts that caused their arrest.
Alderman Warner thought criminals
could be used to good advantage in helping
to build the sewers, and would thus be able
to pay their board and expenses. Alder
man Owens wondered if it would not cost
more to keep watch over such criminals
when at work, than it would to feed them.
Further discussion ensued in which all
hands took part, regarding the street COM
missioner's taking charge of such criminals
while at work the cost Of sending men to
Detroit, and other matters, and finally the
Recorder was instructed to find out what
the price of board was in the hotel House
of Correction, at Detroit
A discussion then ensued in regard to the
bad condition of the sidewalks in various
parts of the city, and especially in front of
Mrs. c. Rice's residence, The Street Com
missioner stated he was busily at work noti-
flying parties having defective sidewalks, to
repair the same.
The sidewalk discussion was cut short by
motion to adjourn, which was carried, the
Council to meet again next Monday night
After the Council adjourned an informal
session was held in regard to the Dock
street sewer, and the fact was soon discov-
cred that the Council had ordered work
that would amount to several thousands of
dollars. Pencils were got out and the First
and Second Ward Aldermen commenced
figuring. The Third Ward men seemed
pleased. The more figuring that was done,
the more thousands it was discovered the
drain would cost The drain is $500 feet
long; twenty-four inch tile costs SLIPS per
foot, without including freight or breakage.
This makes the bare cost Of tile S4,125.
Ten brick man-holes, at $35, makes $3.50.
Then there is the cost of laying, freight,
breakage, and other things, and the reader
can figure it out for himself.
1t was stated that the city had sufficient
twenty-four inch drain tile OH hand now,
for said drain. When our reporter left,
he heard one member exclaim, at will cost
$4,000"
edThe improvements on tile drains project
alb for this season will, if carried out, cost
out $4,000.

sign the control of the House. The
protectionists should assume the re-
sponsibility of what they have done,
and the question be submitted to the
people next November. At that time
the people will tell whether they favor
a reduction of their taxes or not. II
they desire their national taxes reduc-
ed, they will not only elect enough
Congressman to carry the needed re-
form through the House, but they
will also make sure that the President
and a majority of the Senate are men
in favor of a reduction of taxation.

Defeat of the Morrison Fill TO Reduce
Taxation.

On May 9th, the Republican Con-
gressmen, assisted by thirty-nine Dem
ocrats succeeded in killing the Morri-
son bill to reduce the taxes. The
vote was l55 in favor Of the bill, and
100 against it. Only three Republi-
cans voted for the bill. While there
was no chance of the bill becoming
law at the present session Of Congress,
yet some hopes were entertained that
it would pass the house by Il small
majority. Most Of the Republicans
who were expected to cast their votes
in favor of the taxation reduction bill,
were unable to withstand their party
discipline, and as the protective Dem
ocrats, headed by Samuel Randall,
were bitterly opposed to the bill, the
result was the bill was killed. The
main object of the bill was to bring
revenue reform before the people, and
we believe the object has been attain
ed. The coming presidential battle
will be fought on a reform platform.
The Republicans have proved cOnclu-
sively that they are opposed to re-
duction of the national taxes.
The word traitor" is being applied
by many papers to the thirty-nine
Democrats who helped the Republi-
cans to kill the bill. This, we think,
is hardly fair. These men were elect
edin districts where protection is favor
ed, and party lines are not very strong
at present. One thing, however, APP
pears to us certain. The Democratic
party has adopted as an issue, revenue
reform, or reduction Of the national
taxes, and as the protection Democrats
have decided that they can not adopt
the same, and have allied themselves
with the Republicans in opposition to
such needed reduction, it is, therefore,
but right that they should remain
with the party they allied with.
Having left the Democratic party,
Randall and his men should remain
out of it. They will not adopt the
revenue principle of the Democracy,
and the Democratic party, we believe,
will not submit to their protection
doctrine. 1t is far better that a separ.
alton should take place. 1t is the
only honorable course Of action
Democracy will of course regret to
lose such men as Randall. He prov
cd good public servant in the past
and, as man, is entitled TO the kind
remembrance Of Democrats.
There is another thing the Demo
Gratis in Congress should do. Being
now in the minority, they should re

On the evening Of April 10th, the
bark Pomona ran into the ocean
steamship, State of Florida, and in a
few minutes both vessels foundered.
At that time the vessels were on the
Atlantic Ocean and about LOO miles
from New York city. The steamship
had on board 50 passengers and a
crew of about so men. Forty-four
of the steamships passengers and
crew, and three of the bark's crew sue
ceeded in getting into the life boats.
In these boats they remained about
thirty-ivc hours without food or water,
and were rescued by the Norwegian
bark, Theresa. On the 22nd, twenty
four of the passengers were transfer
red to the ship Louisa, and then
to the steamship Titania, which ar
rived at Quebec on May 9TH, bringing
the first details of the disaster. The
loss of life is about 1876. Ten passen-
gers were saved. At the time of the
collision, most of the passengers were
in bed. The night was clear and star
light, and the accident was caused by
criminal carelessness.

It seems now very likely that the
Democrats and Grecnbacks will again
unite on Governor Begolc as their
candidate. There appears to be no
doubt but that fusion will take place,
and the candidates for State Offices
and the electoral college be divided
between the two parties, and there
seems to be no doubt but that such n
ticket will win.
