New YORK, March City Treasurer John
Mcmahon, of Hoboken, has been missing for
about two weeks, and the people are alarmed
about him. Collector Mcmahon was serving
his second term of Office, and is a candidate
for denomination. He justified in SO, 900,
and his bondsmen do not believe he is
a defaulter There are many taxpayers how
ever who express the opinion that the absent
collector is defaulter to large amount and
they predict that the deficiency will ne found
in the assessment accounts where the oppor-
tunities were better for retaining moneys
without detection. An investigating com
mittee of the common council will meet
tomorrow at the city hall and
an expert accountant will be in readiness to
procaed with the examination Of the accounts
McMahon's safe has not yet been opened, as
the combination had not been ascertained,
but safe maker will be called in by the
committee and in their presence the safe will
be opened.

A Democrat o.. the City Gorernnaent.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
have been very distrustful of sincerity
in much of this protestation of which we
have heard so much of late, respecting a de-
sire to reform the administration of our CITY
government for various reasons. among
which are: First-The apparent absurdity
OF the wholesale accusation against Mayor
Ames. Second-The evident, as it appears
to me, want of good faith on the part of the
wholesale accusants. Third-The total fail
ure by those who know, or assume to know,
of the violations Of law, for failure to sup
press or punish, which the mayor is so
severely censured and denounced, to make
the proper complaints for prosecution.
If 1 understand the general drift of al
legged malyersation in office by the mayor, he
is accused of obstructing the execution of
the laws by verbal instructions to his official
subordinates, the police, not to perform their
official duties respecting bawdy, gambling
and tipping houses within their juris-
dictions and such as are guilty of
offenses in connection with them.
such conduct was in contravention of his

which it is claimed will make its owners
rich.
DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.
The recent organization of the Mankato
District Telegraph company, with n capital
of $40, 900, has been SO quietly accomplished
that but few people not directly interested
have been aware of it. The visit of Mr..
Haynes of New York, few days since, was
the initial point of the enterprise, and find
ing the citizens Of Mankato not only willin 9
but anxious to forward any undertaking cal
eulated to advance their city's interests, q
company was at Ghce organized with the
following board OF directors and officers:
President, B. futile; vice president, George
Z. Brett; secretary and treasurer. George II.
Clark. Directors-B. futile, George E. Brett,
George II. Clark, A. B.. Smith, George +. Pr
per, George NJ. Palmer, &. d. Haines. The
company at recent meeting Of the city
council were granted a ten year franchise
and were empowered to ut once put up ten
fire alarm boxes to connect with the central
fire station at the city hall at an annual rental
Of $50 per year per box, or fifteen at S43 per
year per box for u period of five years
with proviso for continuing the con-
tract at the option of the city for five years
more. This gives the city within the next
sixty days the most perfect and complete fire
alarm system Of any city in America and at
only a nominal cost. The company begin
operations on Monday next and have con-
tracted for $50 private boxes with their con-
struction company. Thus one more metro
politan institution comes to Mankato to
swell its numberless attractions.
SEWERAGE
The subject of system OF sewerage was
discussed before the last meeting of the
city council and an order was made for a
proper survey of the city for the purpose and
also for the establishment of sewer to be at
once constructed to take the spring over
flow from Second across Front on Walnut
street, most necessary work
There is an improvement which the ne
cessities of their growing city imperatively
demand and which must precede the con-
struction of proper sewerage system and
that is more perfect system Of water works
which will not only be available for fire pur-
poses and for washing out the sewers, but
also for domestic use. The present supply
taken from the Minnesota river as it is and
blow the city at that can only be used for
fire purposes as soon as the city constructs
the services so imperatively de-
manded. The matter has already
been brought before the city council
and will be very sure to be kept hot until
some conclusion is reached and some plan
adopted. The natural elevation east of the
city furnish the required altitude for the res
ervoir and when once an adequate supply is
determined upon there viii be no reason for
delay at adopting some system adequate for
present and future demands. No one thing
helps the growth of any place SO much as q
plentiful supply of pure healthful water and
Mankato is not like a city that can't get it.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TALK.

"a white and red calf means one
calf, but ga white and red calf means
two calves. There is wide difference
between ability and capacity. Capacity
is the power of acquiring knowledge,
but ability is the power of applying it to
practical purposes. 81 found the way
easy" convey different ideas. In speak
ing of look of illness on a PERSONS
countenance, the correct form is, "He
looks bad" not Gladly" The young
lady may look Overwhelmingly at the
gentlemen, but she looks 'bewitching'
in her silks and Jewels. Aggravate is
frequently misused. An offense may be
aggravated, but person is provoked,
irritated, or angered. Alike is often in
correctly coupled with both. "They
are both just alike" is as incorrect as
the Hibernianism 81 saw it with. both my
two eyes, A disease spreads ''over
all' the country, not call over" the
country.
There is difference between bravery
and courage. Bravery is to show oUur-
age, but courage is calculating and eau
tious. Bravery may be blind, but cour-
age advances with its eyes wide open.
Bring, fetch and carry are too often used
indiscriminately. To bring is to convey
to or to ward; to fetch is to 60 and bring,
which involves two journeys; to carry is
to convey away or off, and opposed to
both fetch or bring. The superfluous
use of but is common error. "There is
no doubt but that Guiteau is guilty"
should read 'sno doubt that" etc. Cal
culate is sometimes vulgarly used for in
tend, purpose expect; as, 'He calculates
to 60 tomorrow" Instead of ''Let you
and 60" say 'you and me-" "He is
as good as me-" las L. Instead of "Who
do you mean" say ''whom." For eff 1
was him." say 'If 1 were he" "Who
do you take it to be-" should be .'Whom
do you take it to be- Il am surprised
at John refusing to 60" should be sat
Johns refusing" "They prevented him
going forward ought to be prevented
| MS SoluS lorWdru.
There is nice distinction between
answer and reply. We answer ques-
ton or letter, but we reply to an argu-
ment or accusation. Lovers of big
words sometimes say anticipate instead
of expect. Now we may expect visit
from burglars, but we do not anticipate
them unless we take measures to frus-
trate their designs. Any should not be
used in place of at all. 1t should be
"She is not at all BETTER" not ''any"
better.
At all, as an intensive phrase, is too
frequently used. Sometimes it gives
emphasis, but generally it is mere taut-
ology. At length should not usurp the
place of at last. cat length we heard
from him." should be ''At last We heard
from him. At length means fully, in
detail. Balance is enormously used for
rest or remainder. "He used the rest of
his money to improve his farm" not the
"balance." Between is often misused
for among. Between is used with refer
ence to two, among to more than two.
A man divided his property between two
children; if he had more than two it
would be his duty to divide it among
them.
