Mr.. Randall called upon the Presi.
dent recently for the purpose of direct
ing his attention TO decision 10 re.
cent Pennsylvania report, in which the
Court held that power TO appoint car
ried with it the right of removal, re-
gardless of any Tenure-of Office acts.
The President listened attentively to
the reading but said very little. lie
made very significant remark, how
ever, when Judge Joshua Allen, of IL
lnois, called upon him afterwards to
ask about changes in the Federal Off
ces. Said the President, as he was af-
terwards reported:
"When assumed the duties of this
Office i resolved to go slow in making
changes, believing that If any mistakes
were made they would naturally result
from hasty and inconsiderate action.
From certain recent occurrences | am
more than ever of the opinion that my
original determination was right. In
the future / intend to go even slower
than ever" The recent occurrences re-
ferred to in the Presidents vigorous
little speech show his estimation of Mr..
Bayards peculiar personal policy.

Apropos of the attempt of mum
ber of ball players to ocatch a ball drop
ped from the top of the Washington
Monument, and the opinions of any
one to accomplish the feat, the question
arises if any of them has an idea of the
velocity acquired by a ball dropped
from height of $50 feet by the time
1t strikes the ground.
The experiment was tried by Paul
Hines, Sam Trott, Charlie Snyder,
Phil, Baker, and others, but none sue.
ceeded in holding it.
Now the fact is that a ball so drop
ped has velocity of 1877 feet per seq
ond when it strikes the ground This
velocity can be better comprehended
by comparing it with a batted ball.
The longest hit which the writer has
any knowledge of was made by George
Wright at indianapolis, when the ball
struck the ground a few inches over
200 yards. The ball, in this instance,
was hit into the air at an angle OF
about 45 degrees-the most favorable
angle for long hit.
Without giving the formula, | will
state that, as near as can be calculated
the angle and the distance being given
the initial velocity of the ball in this
case is found TO be about 100 feet pei

Mosoow's Famous Citadel,

/ had heard and read a great deal
about the Kremlin, writes John l..
Stoddard, but bad no distinct idea of
what it was like uutil / saw it. / had
no idea of its vast extent, that within
its walls were contained palaces, church
es, monasteries and arsenals. The
walls surrounding all these structures
are of vast extent, height and thick
ness. AT frequent intervals are watch
towers of fanciful design, and the bat
Elements are all loopholed for he dis
charge of missiles. Inside is the Red
Square, so called from the thousands
OF judicial murders there committed,
and in the centre Of it is q group Of
statuary called "The Prince and
Moujik." There are many entrances
into the Kremlin, but the principal one
is the Redeemer gate, which is con-
sidered holy place, on account of a
famous statue which finds lodging in
one of its inches. When passing
through this portal every one is suppos-
ed to take off his hat. The Convent of
Ascension is a strange freak of archi-
tectural fancy, but beautiful withal.
Near to it is place where the holy
oil is manufactured, with which all
Russian children are baptized. Around
the arsenal are hundreds of cannon
taken from the French, and there saw
that immense piece of ordinance called
the King of Cannon, but which, like
the King of Bells, also in the Kremlin,
is fit for nothing but show. The Ivan
tower and the cathedral, with its num-
berless costly thrones, are both monu-
ments of human skill. 1t is in this
cathedral that the czars of Russia
crown themselves, no other than their
own hands being considered fit for the
holy Office. The palace, which has an
unpretentious appearance outside, be
ing coated with stucco, is of great ex.
tent. 1t contains the st. Georges hall
and numberless suites of apartments for
the guests Of the royalty. The throne

Schuylkill County is likely to have a
temporary experience Of prohibition
through the failure of 250 hotel and
saloon keepers to pay for licences
which were granted at the February
term OF court within the time pre-
scribed by law. The Law and Order
Society has notified the Clerks of the
Court not to issue them now, after the
time has elapsed, under legal penalty,
and there is promise that there will be
this number of drinking places less in
that vicinity than there would have
been had the applicant been more
prompt. The practice hitherto has
been to take out the licenses whenever
cash was most abundant, and the
temperance people have this time
taken advantage of the negligence Of the
saloon keepers and insist on the strict
enforcement of the law.

The Supreme Court.
THE LIMIT OF MUNICIPAL TAXATION.

THE LIMIT OF MUNICIPAL TAXATION.
Chief Justice Mercur Of the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania, has just filed ar
opinion in the appeal of the City Of
Wilkes Barre from the degree OF the
Court Of common pleas of Luzerne
County, sitting as court Of equity.
This case involves an important ques-
tion as to the right of municipality to
increase its indebtedness under Section
8, of article 9, of the Constitution.
This section provides that the debt
of any municipality or incorporated
district shall never exceed per cent.
of the assessed valuation of the taxa
BILE property therein, and also that no
municipality or district shall incur any
new debt or increase of its indebted
ness to an amount exceeding 2 per
cent upon such assessed valuation,
without the assent of the electors at a
public election.
The City of Wilkes-Barre proposed
an increase in its debt, which was in
itself less than 2 per cent. of the as
sessed value of its taxable property,
but when added to the debt previously
existing made and aggregate of more
than per cent. The question was
raised by certain tax payers whether
this could be done without the previ-
Gus consent of the electors. The city
government contended that there was
nothing in the Constitution to prevent
a city from increasing its indebtedness
by successive steps, from time to time,
as it saw proper, and that so long as
this increase was less than 2 per cent.
the consent of the electors was not nee
esssry.
Chief Justice Mercur, however, holds
that there is no warrant in the Consti-
tuition for any such view, and that any
increase which has the effect of raising
municipal Indebtedness more than 2
per cent. must receive the consent Of
the electors at municipal election.
The decree of the Common Pleas Of
Luzerne County is affirmed and the ap-
peal dismissed at the costs of the apel-
liant municipality.
