Some Radicals around here are chuck
ling over the announcement that Col. A. j.
Frick, had been re-appointcd Deput,
Collector of Revenue. There is nothing to
exult over in this appointment. Mr.. Sta
pies, the lately appointed Collector, is new
to the duties of his office, and 1t is a mark
of prudence and sound judgment that he
should, for brief period at least, keep
around him experienced subordinates. The
position of Collector is very responsible
one, and a general and simultaneous
change of deputies could not but result
disastrously to the business of the district
And, although these positions will ulti
mately come into the possession of the
Democracy, some little time will necessari.

Childrens' Day.

June 7th was observed as "Chidren's
Day." at Wesley Chapel. Notwithstanding
the rain, the church was comfortably filed.
The exercises were so good that 1t was
moved and adopted that "the programme
be published in one of the county papers.
The church was well decorated. The mu-
sic, led by Mrs, Getty and Mrs. Derrick,
was inspiring The printed programme,
published by the NJ. E. Board of Educa-
ton, was followed in the main, but some
special exercises were introduced, which
added greatly to the interest. They were
as follows:

No tax rate has yet beeu fixed by the
Town Council. AT the regular meeting last
week an adjournment was had without ap-
pointing another date. The question will,
therefore, go over for one month, or spec
ial meeting must be called for the purpose.
Now that the time has come when the
money ought TO be coming into the Town
Treasury, it would be in order for the Coun-
Gil to stop fooling and get down to business.
The interests of no taxpayers requires any
of the members of Council to persist longer
in their stubborn refusal to do something,
and further delay may necessitate an appli-
pei the officers of the corporation to per-
form the duty imposed upon them by
law. If the majority favor low rate, let
it be so fixed, and the close Of the year
will show the wisdem or folly OF this. The
solution of the difficulty ought to be no
difficult matter. Any one who can make
figures can easily estimate the expense OF
running the corporation for the year, and
W lay u thA W ihSSb ehSoS Va
penses would certainly not be wisdom.
While the taxpayers demand an economical
administration of town affairs, they do moi
want penuriousness, nor do they want an In
crease of the debt by failure OF the Coun'
Gil to provide for necessary running ex
penses and the payment OF interest on
bonds, &c, There must be compromise
some time on this matter, and why not al
once1 If each side will yield little, q
fair rate may be agreed upon, and the diff
fculty ended. A further refusal OF bott
sides to adjust this matter will not be In
the interests of the people, whom they arr
elected to represent, and will be simply al
exhibition of stubbornness, not at all cred
liable to public officials.

The fixtures for the new postofice arrived
on Tuesday, and by night were all in posi-
tion and ready for business. The early ma |
on Wednesday morning was the first one
distributed under Mr. Clark's admlnistra-
ton. Mr.. Arthur Bloom, of Danville, has
been employed as clerk and as he has had
experience in the business, no doubt every
thing will run smoothly
The new Office is located in McKinney's
store room, and all the appointments are
of kind of which the public may well
be proud. The frame work is of oiled ash,
handsomely carved. There are so boxes
with yale locks and $40 call boxes, At the
point of the V is the general delivery
window, and at the left the box delivery
aad the money order window. Thele is
plenty of room for the Postmaster and his
assistant and also the public. The office
fixtures came from Connecticut and the
mail rack from Wisconsin. No town in
the State has handsomer postoffice than
Bloomsbury, thanks to Mr.. Clark's en-
terprise.

attacked violently with toothachc and was
