Building Boom in Napole on

While the prospect for the erection
Of q large number Of buildings in Ma
poleon during the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite so aattering as it
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex-
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course OF con-
strnction. That good times are near
at hand and better still coming, Is
evidenced, not only by the prepara-
tions for extensive improvements In
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere. Saur has
already made all the necessary ar
rangements aud purchases of the diff
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fall 70 attract
the attention OF oil close buyers, The
outside decorations which. within the
last few years have become 80 very
popular and fashionable, and can a only
BE- made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in al shades
and colors, and ID any quantity to snlt
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store al lover prices than have ever
been known on some quality Of goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, can, with afew
dollars worth Of these colored paints,
be made to look nice and good as new.
For the inside decorations within the
last Eve or six years paper has largely
taken the place Of paint for several
reasons; the tive principle Of which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and 1t needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply 1t. Gteat.improvements are
constantly being made in these paper
decorations for Walls and Ceilings.
The designs for wall paper and window
shades this coming. season are great
improvement over those Of the past
The patterns are smaller and the soft
colors on exquisitely tinted grounds,
are much easier to match with furn'
ishing. Our colors SO far have been
too glaring, the hues presenting toe
strong contrast. White grounds
have re-appeared, showing the lighter
tints to perfection. All who appre

Y The idea that a judicious license law
90 adjusted that those engaged in the
liquor traffic shall pay into the treasury
for the local and State Government d
sum which Is proportionate to the busi-
ness done, is rapidly gaining ground
with the masses. The exploded theory
of the Scott law Is d thing Of the past.
Everyone recognizes that In spirit and
application it IS q license law, 1t is un-
constitutional as the constitution Of the
State now stands. Prohibition, where
it has been tried, has proved failure
1t does not prohibit. The only way out
Is through the avenue ofa constitutional
amendment, which, when once adopt
ed, opens up q course by which the
traffic can be regulated and protection
afforded all glasses. Butler county

For our part we believe that an em-

his duty to the employer faithfully and
yet have time and strength to give to
the service of his party. We believe
that the country decided last fall that
it wanted the business of the Govern
ment, for four years at least, intrusted
to the hands of Democrats; and to in
sist that man shall be less ofa Demo-
crat in Office than he was out of Office,
or that he shall be cnrtailed In hisrights

1T should be remembered that President
Arthur did not leave Washington to attend
the funeral of the late President Garfield. At
that time there was no question of the duty
and the propriety Of the President remaining
at the national capital, and no hysterical gen.
tlemen were found who imagined that any
disrespect was shown to the memory of the
dead chief magistrate. The shriekers and
Merry Andrews of journalism were not then
either so numerous or so noisy as now.

REV. Mr.. GOODWIN, who says no sensible
temperance men ever talk Of the liquor
''crime" on the same plane as the crimes of
murder and robbery, should have his atten-
tion called to an editorial article in the North
western Christian Advocate, which, among
other things, says: ''There are laws which
prohibit murder; nevertheless, murders are
secretly perpetrated. There are laws prohib-
iting arson, forgery, larceny, and yet there
are people who will commit these crimes. Let
it be understood that prohibition does not
change mems natures; it does not make them
eyasiye or hypoeritical. 1t merely makes them
show out their true character" However,
we should have no quarrel with Mr.. Goodwin
over the proposition that the Advocate is not a
Sensible temperance man." Such discussion
as this adds nothing to the practical solution

protection to American industries and an hon
est, fair vote. If we drop these we might as
well all become mugwumps, and vote on one
side or the other, as fancy dictates"

ARREST OF GENERAL SHALER,
The Commander of the New York Militia
Placed IN Jail on Charge of Bribery.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Late this afternoon a
bench warrant was issued for the arrest of
Major-general Alexander Smaller, on a charge of
bribery, In connection with the purchase of mill
tia armory sites in this city. He was arrested
at his residence. No. 127 West Forty eighth
street, brought to police headquarters, and
locked up this evening. The circumstances lead
ing up to the arrest are as follows General Shaler
is commander of the militia of the State
of New York, and, as one of the armory board.
had to do with the selection of several sites for
regimental armories in this city. 1t was alleged
that exorbitant prices for the sites selected we're
paid, and the legislative committee Amounted at
the last session, with Senator Gibbs at his head.
to investigate the conduct of the munic;nai
affairs of New York city, has been looking into
the armory site business, among other things.
General Shaler has. throughout the course of
the investigation, denied that he ever received
any bride. or was influenced in any way in the
choice of sites for armory properties.
In MS testimony to-day. before the committee,
NJ. b: Wilson distinctly and emphaticallv said
that by arrangement with General Shaler. after
effecting the sale of the Schell and Fairchild
property to the army board, at figures greatly
IN excess OF what the property could have been
bought for at private sale, he had paid off a
mortgage of So, 900 on property owned by Gen.
Shaler, In New Jersey, and had handed the
satisfaction papers to him (Shalerl. After the
GlDOS committee began its Investigation. Gen.
Shaler handed the papers back to him, with the
request that they be destroyed, which was done.
General Shaler was secretary of the armory
board and major general in command Of the
First Division, National Guard of the State. He
is also president of the Board of Health. The
The other members of the armory board were
ex-Mayor Edison and H.. o. Thompson. No in
dictment has been found against General Shaler.
District attorney MARITIME drew the papers late
this afternoon, and when sworn to Recorder
Smith issued the warrant for Shaler's arrest.
He will not be bailed tonight.
The transactions in which General Shaler is
said to be unpleasantly involved are three in
number, that many rmory sites having recently
been located and purchased by the armorv board.
M. B. Wilson is the superintendent Of the fire
insurance patrol, aud is alleged TO have acted as
a mlddleman between the owners of the property
bought for armory sites and the board.
Wilson is said to have got an upset price from
property-owners. and a bonus as well, and then
instructed General Shaler to choose and urge such
property as Wilson had in negotiation. Wilson
swears he never spoke to any member of the
armory board except Shaler. Wilson only made
his admissions after having been indicted for
contempt in refusing to testify when first called.
The indictment Was nnashed TO-DAY.

The Burmese CaDital.

just below Mandalay the Irrawaddy river
contracts from a mile and more in width to 800
yards. passing under the rocky feet of the Sa-
Gazing hills and an isolated temple-covered
eminence on the left bank, and then defects
with a grand sweep suddenly to the westward,
washing ON either hand the walls of Ava and
Sa-Gaing. Here the Burmese have built three
forts; one, the face of the old city wall, an
%earthen rampant thirty feet thick and twenty
feet high. faced on the outside with masonry
work; a second on the low land of the Sa-Gaing
side OF the river: and the third further up at the
bend, called Shway Gyetyet. They mma a
point where nice steering is required round a
troublesome reef of rocks. But a force attacking
them from the land side would find little trouble.
They have no fosses, or flank defenses, and all
the guns mounted are directed on the river.
With the fall of these forts all serious resist
ance would be ended, for the King would
probably surrender or his army would
disperse. Mandalay is a city within a
city, aud the palace lies in the center, like the in
nermost of a series of Chinese carved boxes.
There are large suburbs extending in a strag-
Cling way over all the plain. The city proper is
a huge walled square, each face a mile and an
eighth long. The mud mortar built walls are
twenty-siX feet high, machicOlated at the top.
They are three feet thick, banked with a heavy
mass of earth, but there are no guns mounted
for their defense. There are twelve gates to the
city, three on each side, but only one bridge to
each three, except on the west, where there are
two. The moat is some sixty feet from the wall,
and about fifty yards broad, covered in many
places with the lotos plant that the Bhuddist
loves. Here and there upon it float royal craft,
state barges and dispatch boats, many of them
very richly decorated. Covering each gate is a
traverse or crenellated harbican, of the same
construction as the walls. From the gates rough
~ macadamized roads, a hundred feet wide,
run parallel to the walls. They are lined with
young trees (Mandalay only exists since 1857
and down the sides of most of them run little
streams Of water. There is no attempt at a
drainage system, but the town is essentially
clean and airy, thanks to the unmolested, or
rather cherished, pigs and dogs that act as scav-
engers, and the constant open spaces insuring
ventilation. Right in the center is the palace,
which has two successive Enclosures, and in the
midst of the palace rises the seven-roofed spire
which the Burmese look upon as the center of
the universe. TIL higher officials live within
the palace stockade, and there, also, are the
mint, arsenal, treasury, court of justice, the
powder magazine, and other buildings. In the
walled city live the lower officials and the sol
diery, and outside, the traders and the general
population. This is estimated all round at some
thing over 100, 900. There is a good deal of
wealth in the commercial town, but it is in the
hands OF Chinese and Moguls. with whom the
king is afraid to NEEDLE. No Burman is allowed
to get rich.
