Representative White, of Kentucky
has written letter to Springer, reit-
Grating the charge against Governor
Murray, of Utah, and saying if any
doubt of the truth remains in the
minds of the committee, it would be
well to summon number OF witness
es, whom he mentions by name, among
them the Hon. Walter Evans, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, and
ex-Attorney-General Taft. A. M.
Gibson has also written letter to
Chairman Springer, relative to Gov
ernor Murray's testimony, in which he
says: 81 am accused of being paid
by the Mormons to send abroad de-
famatory notices concerning his past
official record. This champion of
Gentle morals in Salt Lake City, with
lofty rhetoric, describes me as bird
of i'll omen, with an @olian attach
ment. Gibson then goes on to say if
the committee will exercise the legal
attachment provided by the House of
Representatives, and permit him to
examine the witnesses, he will under
take to prove that the charges made
against Murray while Marshal of Ken
lucky, are true, and that he has pros
tituted his present position to further
the schemes Of ring of plunderers.

last physician, SO she states, as
sured her positively there was no help
for her. Hearing of DR.. Hess, it was
thought advisable for her to make
one more effort; she decided to con-
suit him, and by his advice and treat
ment she is restored to perfect health,

We congratulate the country upon
the progress and advancement OF the
colored people and it is with graft
tude to God that we renew our pledge

every institution of learning and In

2D. That we earnestly urge the
colored youth of our country to enter

we request the preachers, teachers

also seek TO establish others. That,
as journalists we will give especial
attention to the promotion of this
matter.
3D. We desire to call the attention
of our people to the great Importance
of accumulating wealth in real estate
as an essential step toward the
amelioration of our condition.
4TH AS the public lands are the
heritage Of the people of the United

time to time the prices, location and
specialinducements for securing homes

THERE is not city in the country
that has more church bell ringing on
the Sabbath than Harrisburg. Per
haps the good people Of the town ac-
cept this as an evidence Of their
morality. but just why they have to
be reminded by the ringing OF the
bells, when to arise, when TO start 10
church and when to breakfast we are
unable to see. We find no serious
objection TO all Of this, if all the
church-bells would only stop after
the people have assembled in their
respective places of worship There
is one particular church-bell that
seems to wait until all the others stop
and the people are at worship, then
it begins the most Vigorous ringing
Imaginable, not only disturbing
worshipers in other churches Tor
squares away, but almost deafenlng
the people living in the vaclnlty'
Now if there is any such thing as
bell nuisance, this is one and ought
to be abated.

THE CITY'S CASH.
What Controller Verbeke Has to Say
Revenues.

What Controller Verbeke Has to Say of
Revenues.
City Controller Verbeke sent in a re-
port to Councils Monday giving the
amounts appropriated for the current
year and the expenditures up to the last
month OF 49, 176 06 in the water de-
partment there is balance of $40, 4O5,
81. In the highway department there is
a balance of $8, 02S 95 out of $40, 373 66,
Up to May l, $5,0j1 70 had been ex-
pended for lighting the city, leav
ing $6,004 05 in the committees
hands. Out of the contingent
fire fund there was drawn $588 95
leaving a balance, $48 AZ. On market
houses, $724 12 was appropriated and
$346 81 drawn. In street damages, out
of 5000, SO, 400 isleft. In printing, ST.,
572 95 was expended, while on hand
there is $597. The contingent expenses
have run up to 81, 956 79 which leaves
only SIG 4S for the balance of the year.
There is $4, S51 55 on hand out of S10,
800 appropriated for police, while the san
itary appropriation of $18 % has been
used up.
The controller, after giving these fig
ures, says it will be seen that there will
be deficiencies in the police department,
lighting of city, contingent expenses,
contingent fire and printing for the fiscal
year, and also deficiency in the high
way department unless its expenses are
largely curtailed. The appropriations for
1885 he gives at $3.50, 811.95, estimated
revenue less generations and abatements,
$166, 677.35, leaving an excess OF So, 133.
CO. The estimated deficiency he
places at 50, 234 60, divided as follows
Lighting city, $1,000; contingent fire,
5000; printing, 800; contingent expenses,
$500; police, So, 600; sanitary affairs, 500;
excess, So, 134 60. To meet this def
cheney, he says, the only available funds
would be surplus interest of 1882 and
1888 on city bonds (Which should not be
used until all interest of 1884, is paid
$4 148 45 4; liens collected, 81, 289 SO
surplus cash balance of 1888, 81, $40,
amounting in all to $$7, 958 43, leaving,
however, q net deficiency of s1,276 II.
The controller concludes his report by
saying that this net deficiency may be met
by the collection of liens and in the
probable increase of the city tax and wa
ter rents for the year, but it behooved
Councils to use the greatest economy
in the future expenditures so as not to
create floating debt which was unlaw-
full and for which they would be held re-
sponsible, and that no bill which was
held back after the fiscal year has ex-
pired, the appropriation having been ex-
hausted, would be allowed out of the fol-
lowing years appropriation.

Independent Cheek.

The Pennsylvania independents Of
1882 have the cold, hard brass to
issue an address to the independents of
1884, asking them not to oppose the
regular nominees of the Republican
ticket. This reminds us of the fellow
who prayed that those whom he tres
passed against might be forgiven.
There is a jewel hidden in this most
admiring display of consistency, it
proves clearly that it makes great
deal of difference when the other fel-
low kicks you. The gentlemen who
in 1882 asserted their independence
went out of the party and defeated
as brave and gallant soldier as ever
fought battle; stand to-day where
they stood then with the single ex-
ception that now they dictate while
tnen they squirmed under dictation,
this cry of the peoplei the people and
their wants, is buga boo. For in
our estimation a politician is poll
clan and he goes to win for himself
every time. When he finds that he
is not climbing the ladder of fame,
position and control, fast enough in
one party he simply looks for a safe
place to jump in another, and no bet
ter illustrtion of this is furnished than
by the men who feeling they were
kept in the back ground by the
Cameron ring, denounced the party
to which they once swore allegiance
and defeated it. They come to the
front to-day as the earnest advocates
of Blaine and should he be elected
will be foremost as his counsellors.
AS matter of course they say to
oppose Mr.. Blaine would be an at
tack upon independent work, this
being the case it presents a new
issue They would read cut the
party, the men who allowed them to
remain in, These gentlemen should
remember that they set a precedent,
the refult Of which will likely be
followed by their ambitious politicians.
AS a price of their independence
several of them have been rewarded
and it is only question of time as to
the reward Of the others. One holds
the auditor generalship Of the state
and others have been more or less
distinguished by positions of honor.
If such is to be the price of kicking
against the ticket, if kickers are to
be placated condoned and snugly
placed in lucrative positions, pretty
soon every man in the country will
turn independent as matter of
policy.

SAMMY TnDEN expresses the hope
to live to see the government trans
terred into honest hands. If the sage

down from the present Republican
dynasty to the dynasty of Blaine and
