AS tho Collectors office is kept in a very, i'm
proper shape, no records being kept outside of
the tax roll. we were compelled to trace, partic-
ularly the licenses. from the time he assumed
office in order to form q true and correct re-
port, as ne had considerable blanks on hand OF
former years.
We would ask the Council to compel the Col
lector to purchase the necessary books pertain
ing to his office at the expense of the town and
that his quarterly settlement with the Treasurer
be enfo1 ced, and furthermore that he be duly
notified to settle up his deficit at the earliest
possible moment.
We also made discrimination of the Treasu-
rers Office by canceling all examined vouchers.
We attempted to report on the situation of
the Mayors Office. but failed to meet. We ask
the Council to grant US further time.
Respectfully submitted.

The relative speed of English and Ameri
can railway trains has been subject Of
much heated discussion between travellers
representing John Bull and Uncle Sam.
writer in the Forthcoming (August) Hor-
per's, in paper on g English and Ameri-
can Railways" discusses the question in
some detail, and sums up the controversy
by declaring, "1'he truth of the matter is
that we have trains in America which are
rs fast as the fastest trains in England, and
that they have trains in England which are
as slow as the slowest TRANS in America"
though the average speed is greater in Eng
land because of better road-beds, avoidance
of grade crossings, better system Of
signals, and shorter stops. On the other
hand, "we carry our passengers, high and
low, far more cheapiy than they do. in Eng
land.' The paper compares the other
points of the rival systems closely and in
'terestingly, and is rich in illustrations by
S. G. McCutcheon, Alfred Parsons, C. s.
Reinhart, and others.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Ii lunatic
asylums are 20 be made safe some OF the
inmates should be put in charge OF them.
Buffalo Courier, Dem.): The nomi-
nation of Evartsl Is highly creditable
TO the party.
Syracuse Standard: Neither Arthur
nor Blaine made or sought TO make the
Republican no nination for Senator. The
party made It.
ST. Paul Pioneer Press: The Repub-
hcan party In New York has been puri-
fed by adversely, and Senator Evarts is
the first fruit of its better estate.
New York Sun: AS for Our Own Evarts,
the minute be steps INTO the Senate he
will become one OF the most notable fig
ures IN that august and serene body OF
lawmakers.
Chicago Herald: The mugwump papers
are sloshing around a good deal. III
every Democrat whom they read out OF
the party of his fathers goes as directed,
pretty soon there will be no Democratic
party.
Cleveland Herald: We trust that Mr..
Geo. l.. Converse Will be the Democratic
nominee for Governor this fall. Combin-
ing as he does the elements of Mossback-
Ism, Mechanism, and Converseism, 1t
will be very pleasant to snow him under.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Mr.. Evarts owes
his election to his conspicuous fitness for
the position, and the really significant
thing about the press notices of both par
ties is that his eminent qualifications are
conceded. 1t is happy omen for the fu
ture that the great state of New York
has again brought to the front a truly
great man, whose capacity and character
no man can question and all concede.
Detroit Free Press: AS the law and
the facts now stand the publishers OF the
leading newspapers are among the best
patrons OF the Postof1ice Department,
paying into the Treasury far more money
than any other class except the letter
writer's. Yet while the rates of postage
on every other class of mail matter have
been reduced the rate on newspapers
sent from the Office of publication remains
unchanged

he KNEW SHYlOCK.
A Countryman Thinks He Recognizes a
Notion Peddier in Irving.

Pittsburgh Cor Philadelphia Times.l
"Great Gosh - was the ill-restained ex
clamation heard from the Opera House
gallery one night last week as Irving ap-
peared on the stage as Shylock. A few
heard it despite the applause of the audi
ence, and saw thatit proceeded from a man
from the country, evidently unused to
theatrical performances. The spectator in
question was from Moon Township, and
friead with difficulty restrained him from
rnaking n noise. He was particularly in
terested in what he called the ''dicker" be-
tween Antonio and Shylock, and his ind g
nation was reused to the highest pitch by
the court scene. When the play was over
be wanted TO go round To the stage door
and thrash Sh lock, but four other Moon
Township men took him to the Fifth Av-
enue Hotel. He was still in a state OF
great excitement. He was asked if he saw
Shylock
''Yes. seen him." said he, "and it is not
the first time, Vi her"
"When did you SEQ him before!"
"Why. | seen that fellow in Moon Town
ship last week peddling notions. It's the
same Jew, aad you can bet hundred if
he ever comes out there again we viii not
split hairs with him about a pound ol flesh,
for Frank MoGinnis and 1 will skin him

You are certainly mistaken about the
man"
- No, sir. He was trading cuff buttons
for wool. and he nad the same pair OF scales
and the sa uyly look"
"Bus that Jew OF the stage was Henry

FoR refinement OF cruelty nothing has
come to our notice recently to compare
with the compliments the New York
Sun Of Wednesday pays to the editor OF
the World in the following paragraph:
AZ the request Of Capt. James b. Eads, We

Philadelphia Times that the Hon. Joseph
Pahizer vas formerly employed by him as

Capt Eads informs us that he was never
the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer's employer. To a
certain extent this u the Hon. Joseph Pulit-
xar's misfortune. No coachmsn brought in
20 almost constant intercourse with Capt.
Eads could fail TO profit by daily ObseTva-

MORTON ANo HIS CANVASS

The fact that Hon. William VI. Evarts
was chosen TO share the representation
Of New York State in the United States
Senate. is no evidence that his most for
milable competitor, Minister Morton, is
not ft person to represent the Empire
State. On the contrary, the fact OF Mr.
Mortous strength and the character Of his
supporters. show that hs is held in high
esteem By large number Of prominent
and honorable Republicans The fact
that Mr.. Morton has used his abundant
means literally heretofore IN the interests
Of ms party. should bear with it no pre-
sumption of corrupt purposes. A man
conscientionsly convinced OF tho right
eousness OF a cause has "a much right 20
use his money legitimately for its advance
ment in politics az ia religion, or any
bene6ceoce. There is nothing yet made

behalf OF Mr. Morton that he @is per-
fectly respectable pablieman and no one

est ia the history Of that county. Ia the
recent Presidential contest he was on the

10 Mr. Blaine; and there is no reason why
he should not aspire to the Senatorship."
The placing of a stigma upon man
simply because be has money is no better
than to place it upon another because be

OF evil, but all money IS not root of evil.
