and perhaps other practices connected
with the faith, we will admit. for the
sake of the argument. are utterly, en-
tirrly bad. and anything known to be-
bad should come under the vigorous
condemnation of all good people. But
are we, in our persistent assaults upon
MormoniSm, acting consistently? We
say to the Mormon, You shall not
take two or more wives into your
house, support them by your industry,
and live life of peace and prosperity" !"
On the other hand, we permit, in our
boasted Christian communities, the
existence of dens where female charms
ARE treated as merchandise. and from,
which disease and death are sent
broadcast through the community.
We would not urge anything in favor
of Mormonism-far from it. But are
other communities better than the
Mormon settlements of Utah? That
is the troublesome question which
comes up, demanding an answer. In
the town of Jackson there are several
dens running which do more real harm
in the course of a year than the prac-
tices Of half the Mormons of Utah, to
saw the least. There are doggeries in
this town where boys Of all ages are
permitted to drink, smoke and gamble,
right along, day and night, while
men old enough to be their grand
fathers will drink and gamble with
them. These are veritable drunkard-
factories. Here boys receive the i'm
pressions which in after years make
them criminals. and fill prisons. Ii
the keepers of these dens did nothing
worse in the world than possess half a
dozen wives, they would he infinitely
more valuable to the community than
in their present business Why should
we GO into Mysteries about the evils of
Mormonism, when the Devil has his
agents sbusily at work in our midst,
snatching young boys from their
mothers arms. and starting them on
the road TO destruction? We should
first tear the beam from our own eye.

Mr.. Blaine called on President
Cleveland on last Friday, and the two
were closeted together for more than
an hour. The warmest friendship
seems to exist between the two. Mr..
Blaine accepts his defeat as gracefully
as Mr.. Cleveland does his success.

The Ross County Register speaks of
a grand circular fox-drive near Frank
fort, in that County, in which the
hard days labor was rewarded by the
capture of couple of foxes. 1t is
remarkable how modest are the de-
mands of human endurance. We
recollect having attended fox drive,
away before the war, in Liberty
Township, this County. Starting at
the liberty line, just below the farm
of Mr.. Long, we tramped several
miles through woods and brush, over
rocks and hills, climbed fences, and
altogether did one of the hardest days
work imaginable, gong without din
ner. other than a hasty cold lunch,
getting back to town away in the
evening. We could scarcely walk

raging headache. But We had seen

monium, kept up for miles, the circle
was closed, and the dogs turned loose
Just two unfortunate foxes paid the
penalty of being aroad that day
This, then, was the enjoyment-the
''sport," to see two, NANCY dogs kill
two foxes Yet, boy as we were, We
came back to town actually believing
that we had been amply repaid for
our efforts!

There is strong feeling of disgust

There is strong feeling of disgust
on the part of great many Demo-
Gratis in Washington-and some who
have gone away from Washington
because Mr.. Cleveland does not recog-
nize their claims more readily in the
demand for office. So long had our
Democratic friends been shut out
that they seem to have no realization
of the fact that appointments to office
are made in a regular way, but seem
to believe that as soon as Cleveland
was sworn in as President, every
Democrat could rush right In, name
his office, and take his commission
home with him. The world full o

ed by natural and acquired ability to
conduct newspaper, and that he Is
the man. This old saying will not
hold good, as rule, but will in
large number of cases. One frequent
ly meets the smart man, who knows
all about the wants of the public. in
the daily wanderings up and down
the earth, why" says the smart
man, Il would not put that in the
paper, at all!'' ''Well, why not?'
Because it had better be left out"
"Is'nt it true?" ''Oh, yes. it's true"
"Is'nt it right?" Yes, its right, but
then it oughtn't to be in a paper"
"Is'nt it in the interest of morality,
and the public good?" "Yes, nobody
will deny that" says the smart man
but you would make friends by leav-
ing such things out And thus the
objections and criticisms of the smart
man roll in. But there is a nobler
duty, higher aim, in this life, than
the mere making of friendships. The
man who commits murder becomes
the friend of murderers. The man
who steals horse becomes the friend
of horse-thieves. The man who starts
doggery becomes the friend, and
servant, and special agent of the Devil.
The making Of friendship is an easy
matter. The trouble with the smart
man is, that he values his own friend
ship too highly. Better men, who
died before he was born, have tried to

the old world swings around, as usual.
The journalist who says what IS right

fails to say as much, is guilty OF a
gross sin of commission.

Ha! Here comes case of genuine
witchcraft, of the good, old-fashioned
kind. We all remember what terrible
tribulations our ancestors went
through, on account of the evil spirits
how the witches used to put spells"
on the hunters guns that could only
be removed by firing from them sill
yer bullets; how, by rubbing two
sticks together, and saying a few
mysterious words, spell was put
upon hated neighbor which preclud-
ed the possibility Of that neighbor
eating or sleeping until the sticks
were destroyed or the neighhor begged
forgiveness of the witch; and so on.
The afflicted one in the present case
is said to be colored lady nam
ed Weaver who resides at Washington
G. FL. She became convinced that an
evil spirit was following her, and as
last resort in her effort to escape, she
prayed earnestly that the person who
was the cause Of her being bewitched
might be compelled to come to her
door and ask admittance. Sure
enough, within short time after this
prayer, a neighbor woman came to the
door and knocked. Oh, didn't she
catch it, though? 1t was direct ans
wer to prayer-at least. so thought
the colored woman, and she gave that
neigbbor a blessing she will remem-
Der for while. Case Of witchcraft,
sure as you live!

If the Republican Legislature really
wants police force in this city, based on
civil service reform, there is but one honest
way of securing it-let them authorize
reorganization of the force on civil service
principles, taking half the appointees from
the Democrats and half from the Republi-
cans. Then let the men serve during good
behavior for life, if you like, or until they
choose to resign, and let every vacancy as
it occurs be filed by the party to which the
dead, resigned or removed (for cause) in
cumbent belonged. That is the only way
in which honest civil service reform can be
secured Any other form is simply false
pretences. The Republicans have had
control of the police force long enough to
get the Democrats pretty thoroughly
welded out and now they want civil service
reform that will keep Democrats out of the
force for all time to come. The dishonesty
of this proposition is apparent on the face of
it. Jersey City is Democratic by large
majority, and the idea that Democrats
should have no part in its government is
rather refreshing. But why did not the
Republicans think of this idea of civil SER
vice reform little sooner? If they had
gone to work on that principle we should
have had some respect for them. But as it
did not occur to them until they had pretty
effectually 'sbounced" the democrats
whom they found in Office, it will strike a
good many people as only another mani
festation of ssFlaniganism.

DEALING NTH ARREARAGEs.
Commissioners DATES Opposition to ASS
sessment and Com promises

hOSeAApK4 ANA AoAbk RkoAAAoCss
Finance Commissioners McDermott,
DATE and Hardenbergh constituted COM
mittee appointed under resolutions adopt
ed on motion of Mr.. Hardenbergh, to COM
promise assessments with delinquents. The
committee has held no meeting vet. "And."
Mr.. DATE said to the TATTLER yester-
day, 81 don't believe they ever will meet.
The fact is am opposed to the whole prin
clple of the thing To compromise with
delinquent taxpayers is only to put pre-
MUM upon delinquency, and to deter those
who have been in the habit of paying
promptly from continuing to do SO. I'm
not sure either that the past due assess
ments, with all the accumulation of inter
est and penalty, are not Sinking rund
securities whose value we have no right to
impair. But even as a matter of policy
think it is unwise We have already offered
to remit the 10 per cent. penalty,
which reduces the charge on arrearages to
per cent interst, and not soul has
stepped forward to take advantage of the
offer. 1t might have been well enough to
have offered these backward taxpayers in
ducements to settle up, when we found it
hard to sell city securities bearing per
cent interest at figures way below par, but
the city is in no such straight now. and we
are not forced to beg for money. We can
float per cent bonds now at LOG, or more.
My policy is to see if it is not possible to
secure legislation that will force these de-
linquents to settlement, and then to en-
force the remedies against them. It will
be time enough to think of compromising
when we know we can't find a remedy and
enforce it. They ought to be forced to
pay up. The delinquents are mostly the
holders of the large estates The Coles's,
for instance, pay taxes upon 800 pieces of
property, and a very large part of it is I'M
improved. They will keep it unimproved
as long as they can hold it without cost
But if they are made to pay, they'll pro-
badly be forced to sell part to clear the
tax on the rest, and the smaller holders
who will purchase will improve 1t will
help to build up the city to bring these
owners of big estates to terms. The
smaller taxpayers, who are the poorer
people, pay promptly. What right have
we to add to their burden by releasing their
richer neighbors from their share of the
public burden? Whatever will benefit the
people | am in favor Of But when it
comes to expressing the many who are
struggling to hold on to the little they
have, IN the interest of the rich, I say
nof'
