The City Controller has asked legal advice
as to whether he can pay them or not.
Judging from the bills the return of the

painting the town red, but even few of
the suburbs were slightly tinged with

YOUR HOME PAPER.

1t is your county paper that prints
| your home news; that is always ready
to speak good words of you and your
neighbOrs; that advertises your town
and county; that records your mar
riages and births relates local incidents
and accidents; publishes (gratis) calls
for political and other public meetings
and conventions; notices for churches,
s%ocials, festivals, etc. and helps you to be
informed in a hundred other ways OF
course your county paper is not padded
with gossip, o a it compete in price
with the cheap city weeklies. which are
in nearly all cases but reprints of dali
lies-but tell us when the cheap city
weeklies say a good word for your town
or county; when they do other than
send yOn a paper for pay in advance
and invest the money you send them in
building up some other town and cOun-
ty. Cheap city papers are simply money
grabbers; they pay no taxes here, con-
tribute nothing to the support of your
schools, roads, poor, or county and
town expenses. They have no feeling
or sympathy in common with you and
only care for you so long as your cash in
advance on subscription lasts. You
and every other man ought to take your
county paper, and by paying regularly
for it enable the publisher to make you
a better paper than he can possibly do
on the t%rust-to-luck plan. After SUBJ
scribing and paying for your county
paper, if you have a dollar to spare
buy a city weekly if you want to, but
let local interests have your first on

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
IFrom the ST. James Gazette

Kun" Nv y. AIN pdLCLle.l
The Caroline islands are a remarka-
bic group of coral formations in the
Northern Pacific. They are perhaps of
no great strategic Importance, since
they lie on the road to nowhere IN par
ticular; but from the point of view of
the ~archeologist they are interesting in
the extreme. Certain Dutch navigatOrs,
who visited them nearly a century AGO
returned to Europe with wonderful
stories concerning the gigantic ruins
that had been discovered on some of
the smaller islets at the eastern end of
the archipelago: but it was not until
1888 that anything approaching to a
systematic survey of the group was I'M
dertaken. In that year her maiesty's
ship Espiegle touched at many of the
Islands, and those officers who went
ashore found that the magnificence of
the remains had not been exaggerated.
The most imposing ruins are at Ne
talanim harbor, i'll Ponape, and ut
ChabrOl harbOr, in kusaie; and an idea
Of their grandeur may be formed from
the fact that some of the stones of the
buildings measure rs much as 80 feet
long by 20 feet broad and Is feet thick.
They are ornamented with rude sculp-
lures, which bear Il family resemblance
to the well known sculptures of Easter
Island, i'll the southern Pacific: vet
Easter Island and the Carolines are
fully 5000 miles apart, and SO far as is
discovcrable, there has never been any
communication between them. The
object and origin of the monuments
are alike unknown. The Caroline
group, which was discovered by Spain
III 1870, has hitherto, even by German
geo9raphers, been regarded as Il Span
ish possession; although for years there
have been no Spanish residents on any
of the islands. The extent of the land
surface of the group is rather more
than3O0 square miles land the estimated
population Is about $4,000 souls, all of
whom are of the Malay race.

PLAIN WORDS TO CERTAIN WOMEN

Whenever social scandals of a certain
grade come to light the MAI in the case
is soundly berated. Generally he de-
serves all the v language he gets,
nevertheless he is not the only sinner.
There are young women whose man.
ners inevitably give the impression that
they are not what they afterward pro-
fess TO be. The easiest way in which
we can explain how some injudicious
a~cquaintances are formed, and under
colors which, if not false, are certainly
not what they should be, is to quote
from the Newark, Ohio, American a
suggestion as to Il class of young wo-
men that is large in every city and has
representatives in most villages:
Whatever idea the young girls who
practice street flirting may entertain of
their seemingly innocent pastime, it
may be set down as a certainty that
when a respectable young man desires
the acquaintance of one who may some
day become his wife he does not 90 out
on the street aud seek her acQuaint-
ance through a Irritation. But, on the
other hand, the tiirt of the street. no
matter how innocent and fair her in
tentions may be, is the last person he
would select as his life's companion.
He desires purity, without and above
suspicion. The young girl who en-
cages in this kind OF IA pastime should
bear in mind that she not only endang-
ers her reputation and leaves a stain on
her good name, but that her name is a
bywOrd among those with whom she
tiirts, to be banded about in the sa-
looms, on the street corners and i'm the
low down, unholy places in the city,
fastening on her otherwise fair name a
stigma or stain that will follow her
years after she sees her folly and at
tempts 10 mend her ways.

THE SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA,

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The Pennsylvania Democrats have
not only taken the popular side of what
is nov the Swallowing issue in
that state, but they have got the better
of the republicans in the nomination of
candidates. Mr.. Quay, the republican
nominee for treasurer, is identified
with the old crew of Pennsylvania
railroad attorneys in politics. lie was
4 member of the board of pardons that
refused clemency to any of the Molly
Maguires, but pardoned ex-State
Treasurer Kemble when convicted of
bribing the Legislature to pass the
S3,0OO,0 600 bill re-imbursing the rail-
roads losses by the strike riots of 1877.
Mr.. Day, the democratic nominee, is Il
business man of high standing, whose
personal record is without a stain and
whose political connections in the past
are above suspicion, as the republican
organs themselves admit. There is
some prospect that the $4,000 majority
of the republicans may get lost in the
inazes OF mugwumpery and let the
democrats carry the state this time.

CANDID PEOPLE.


If there is any human being whom
it is perfectly proper to loathe and alb
lor if is the demon who is constantly
saying that he is candid and always
says what he thinks. AS Il general
\ thing he does not know how TO think
but he imagines he does and proceeds at
once to hold the waterproof of his inane
vapOrings owe Your head and sprinkle
| YOU until You feel like a patch of noxi-
Gus weeds.
1t is Il curious fact that the wild ami
NAL known as the candid man is never
able to see your good qualities, but he
snaps at your bad ones like a hungry
trout at a fly. He looks you all over
with his critical microscope, and if
there is something good in your life
does he take it gently III his hands hold
it up TO the sunshine, turn it round to
get a better view, and put it back in its
place with the remark, "That's worth
having and I'm glad you have it; try
and get some more of the kind?' Never.
We say il very cmphatically, Never!
He is not candid in that way. But let
him catch IL glimpse of a tib, and he
will chase it as a weasel does Il rat, and
when he has caught it, he will hold it
up with an air OF triumph, as though
he had no other business in life than to
hunt for such things, and then deliver
IL forty minute discourse on the ulti-
mate destination Of people who tell
fibs-it is called sheol in the revised
vers;on-and end by saying with an
air of depreciation, Pm candid, and al
ways say what | think.
In nine cases out of ten candOr is
only another name for unspeakable
meanness and smallness of soul, and i'll
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it
ought to be vigorously suppressed.

REPAIRING THE FARM.
From the CarroIlton Democrat.

SAAAo eIs
A republican the other day was seek
ing to twit a democrat, an old farmer
in the northern part of the county,
about the good times we were to have
under democratic administration. The
old farmer listened to him quietly and
respectfully, and finally remarked:
"Ny good friend, did you ever know a
farmer, no matter how thrifty, who
could take a farm that had been run
ming down for t%wenty-tour years, and
get a good crop of of it inside of six
months? | guess not. 1t takes some
time to repair the fences, improve and
strengthen the soil, clear out the weeds
and briars and thistles, open up the
drains, bitches and water courses, and
drive away the vermin and renovate the
farm and buildings i'll general. This is
just what the administration is doing
now-putting the national farm in Or
der. Wait until we get the farm which
the republicans have been letting down
for years, improved and in good con
dition and then you will see some beau
titul.. crops; the whole country will
laugh with rich harvests and the people
will rejoice in prosperity. Ny friend,
the good times are coming-wait u lit
tie longer.

Dolce Far NIente.

NY friend, my chum, my trusty crony,
We were designed, it seems to me.
To be two happy lazzarOni,
On sunshine fed and macarOni,
Far off by some Sicilian sea.
From dawn to eve in the happy land,
No duty on us but to lie
Straw hated on the shining sand.
With bronzing chest and arm and hand,
Beneath the blue Italian sky.
There. with the mountains idly CHASING
Their purple splendors in the sea-
To watch the white winged vessels passing
(Fortunes for busy fools amassing),
This were Il heaven to you and me!
Our meerschaums colorIng cloudy brown,
Two young girls, c~Oloring with a bush,
The blue waves with a silver crown,
The mountain shadows dropping down,
And all the air in perfect hush.
Thus should we lie in the happy land,
Nor fame, nor power, nor fortune miss;
Straw-hatted on the shining sand,
With brOnzing chest, and arm, and hand
Two loafers cOuched in perfect bliss!

MR.. TILDEN AND OFFICE.

From the Louisville COurier-Journal.
The republicans who have never I'M
der-valued Mr. Tilden's power nor UNI
der-estimated his abilities-Of which
they have stood in ceaseless dread
have always mistaken his motives and
objects. To him office has we been
the merest Of Instruments. For him
self he never set any store by it, and
he is the last man in the world to quar-
rel with anybody about a bauble SO
trivial and uninviting. He is indeed a
good friend and all equally good enemy.
and has a good memory for both. his
friends and his enemies. But he has
at no time troubled himself about the
distribution of the patronage, and is
not troubling himself now.

HANGED FOR MURDER.

ST..LoUIs, No, August IS, 1885
Samuel w. Collins was hanged this
morning at Bowling Green, No, fol
the murder of a man named Owen Ut.
terback. Mrs. Uutterback, the widow
of the murdered man, with her two
sons, aged five and eight years respec.

The murder occurred in September,

back had been %slandering his wife and
he sought him out and killed him for
the offence. The execution passed off
quietly in the presence of a large as
