the public cannot be expected to be informed
as to the merit of individual cases, and it is
the more intolerahle inasmuch as the official
records Of the Pension Office show that the
percentage of fraud is really but one-tenth
Of one per cent The Journal intimates that
nobody would take it as reflection upon
his honesty if should announce the fact that
there were thieves in town, but what would
be the consequence if it should declare that
among the grocers, or bakers or butchers, or
lawyers. or doctors of the place fraud was
largely prevalent? Does it suppose that
they would not indignantly resent the ac-
ousation and demand of the editor that he
either produce the proofs of his allegation
OF withdraw it Internationally? The Joar-
nal knows better than to ts ihat expert
ment.

follows the use Of beer M q constant substitutes
for food; and on Sunday there is in addition
to this. much OF the atmosphere In Zurich to
which New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
Sc. Louis are accustomed in connection with
the Sehutzenfest of the German population.
There is no disorder; bat there is an unpleas-
ant consciousness that large part Of the CON-
mnnity has voluntarily diminished the clear.
ness of its intellect and the strength Of its Will
and that the recreation which has been chosen
has not contributed to the soundness of tho
community in body or mind. There ara other
sunday recreations cultivated in Zurich to
which It would be difficult to offer any valid
objection. Such are the fine classical concerts
OF the afternoon, and the admirable presenta-
ton OF German classic dramas in the evening.
at the town theater. But it may be doubted
whether Sunday as at present used during nina
months OF the year Is not eausa Of more harm
than good ID Zurich.
Music is a very large factor in the life Of
Zurich, for the school instruction Is good. and
the Conservatory Of Music Of this little Swiss
town would DO 3 cause OF lOad self graduation
IN almost any American city. The whole pop
uiafI0n is more or less unsteady susceptible.
as Is shown by the numerous operas brouchb
out IL the course Of the nine months long
opera season by the excellent orchestra, which
divides It's performances between the theater
and the Ton Halle, and by the severely classical
programme of the iavorite concerts. which
come in quick succession. Accordingly thu
1as5tak has haring advertisements Of the sun
day concert Of the Girls Chorus; OF the Con-
cordis Volunteer Chorus, and of the Ton Halle
Orchestra And nearly ali the restaurants
which do not offer free dancing offer music as a
Sunday attraction. The Sunday amateur
dramatic entertainments are conspicuous, also.
among which the Catholic Apprentices Asso-
citation offers to the public the play "Nieo-
medes; or, The R0maa Martyrs Of the First
Christian Century"
Such is the active daily life Of Zurich as "A
expresses itself ia daily print--life made up OF
birth and sehOOl-life, Of work and play, OF
marriage and widowhood and DEATH But it ia
very simple life, with little display OF wealth,
with much simple amusement and much. very
much, grinding poverty and wearing tell.
Moreover the Zurich life is penetrated and
ennobled by certain something which dis
tinguishes it from other European commune
ties. making it more resemble the life OF the
towns of Northern England and Of New Eng
land than the communities By which it is sur
rounded. This is the fine public spirit Of a
free people accustomed to self government, and
to private saeride for the public good.-the
spirit which finds its embodiment in the fine
university and noble schools of Zurich, and
which digihes the life and character Of the
nunblest individual citizen FIX

WE MUST again caution the public against
entrusting their subscriptions to THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE to persons with whose
financial responsibility they are not ac-
quainted. Our attention has lately been
called to the fact that J. Fl. Winanz, falsely
representing himself to be an authorized
agent of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, has col
lected quite number of subscriptions in
New York city, of which he has rendered
no account to this Office, and for their own
protection, therefore, new subscribers should
take care not to entrust their subscriptions
to any person who is not personally known to
them to be thoroughly honest and trust
worthy.

more apparent, however, il we reduce this
postage paid by THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
to its equivalent in circulation. Dividing
SCOTIA by the rate per pound-two cents
I'VE have 4s2,3s7 pounds (241 tons) of
NATIONAL TEIBUNEs as the total sent
through the mails during the year, and
dividing this again by the weight of 1000
copies-13o pounds-we have 3.71o,66o as
the equivalent in single copies of the gross
weight, or an average of 1853 copies
weekly! From these figures our readers
viii see how rapid, steady, and substantial
the growth of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
has been and what a leading position it
occupies as the champion of their interests.
Its circulation to-day is 10000 copies per
week.
