with the variety, the excellence, the aptne-s,

the "cheap and nasty" botches with which
too many newspapers of to-day distigure
their columns, in connection with the worth
less stereotype matter, to be bought by the
square foot and fit only for the junk shop,
the NeW Era's project is to be commended.

WILL the trouble with that oleomargarine
TAX never end? 1t is now discovered that
the willy trainers of that measure have con-
trived to so wood it that the makers OF the
compound would be obliged to pay the tax
twice, first on the raw materials known as
"oleo oil, neutral OIL" &C., and again on the
manufactured article. The sharp practice of
the enemies of oleo is now plain enough, for
had the higher tax proposed been agreed to,
this doubling process would have compelled
all makers of the article, who bought the oil
named, to suspend operations and left only
the larger factories that make their own oils
Further it appears that these oils are sold in
large quantities for the fabrication of
machinery and that under the law they will
have to submit to the bogus butter tax. Can
1t be that oleomargsrine finds butter a rival
in this field? Commissioner Miller, of the
revenue bureau, will discuss and settle this
slippery question at an early date.

Things in the Quaker City.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4th, 1886.
The question as to whether we have
Sheriff or not has been agitatcd for Il
fortnight and at this writing it is not de-
finitely settled. Rowan, the present in
cumbent, was elected nearly year ago
under peculiar circumstances, having
been defeated five or six years before by
heavy majority, as well as being defeat
ed in a primary contest in his own party
for a second nomination some years
after. He was identified with the ring
in its palmest days, and when the Aims
house investigation was inaugurated, and
Major Phipps was sent to the county jail
for six-years, he was somewhat mixed up
in the affairs, although nothing was
proven. He became Phipps bondsman,
and came very near losing his securely
bonds. Notwithstanding all this he was
such leader in his party, and such an
expert organizer that his personal canvass
carried him through heated contest, in
which the committee Of one hundred
went down in utter disgust, and has not
been resurrected to this day. This long
continued stain of political uncertainty

THRoUGn the ballot the people of
this State have chosen their officers
The Democratic party has been
abused and showed up by many
speakers, but the majority of the
ballots cast were for the straight-out
Democratic candidates. The Tenn
perance folks, with the help of the
Republicans and sore-heads hardly
made the contest interesting. The
full Democratic ticket was elected,
and we believe without fraud.

and Il good stock domestic worry, has no
doubt undermined his brain. for if VIC
can believe the newspapers he must sim
ply be a wreck of his once former self.
This is how the. people don't know
whether there is high Sheriff to sell
them out or not, but there is lurking
idea among some people that it would be
a capital idea to keep that terrible officer
OF the law out of office as long as posi-
Bile.
Mayor Smith is to stay. The council
man have come to the conclusion he is
not worth the bother or expense of a
trial, as his term is so near out, and the
small political capital that might acrue to
the party would hardly be taken into ac-
count, should it be said that the Repub-
lican party in this city never shirked its
duty. The suppostion may prove a SER
ious stumbling block in the future. The
Mayor may now be considered very
happy man, and can keep up the stand
ard Of his police force without molesta-
ton. In this connection l might refer to
the way the platoon of police that went
to New York on the occasion Of the I'M
yelling of the statue of liberty last week,
were treated by their Gotham brethren.
1t was the universal opinion among those
officers that they were shabbily treated,
which was not in accord with the gener-
GUS manner the New York men were re-
ceived during our Centennial days.
These men were the pick of the reserve
force, and carried off the honors in the
great parade in New York City. They
came home without having anything to
eat, and had never been asked once who
they were. 1t is evident that an apology
will be sent, as soon as the facts of the
discourtesy has found its way to the prop
er authorities.
The long-looked for movement of the
moter cars on Columbia Avenue has
taken place, and for a wonder they work
fairly well. Only few accidents have
occurred, including one at the railroad
crossing at Ninth and Columbia avenue,
where the slot caught the track and tore
the bottom out of the car Many ladies
will not patronize them, as continual
fear of accident hangs over their heads.
The coming winter will test the manage
ment to its utmost capacity, and if there
is any impediments oraccidents then peo
pie will begin to believe more fully in
the system. Now that the Traction COM
pany owns half the streets, the people
are beginning to wake up to the impor-
lance of having this great corporation
brought to terms in regard to this five
cent fare business, and suit to show
cause why they shouldn't live up to their
professions is now in the courts. 1t is a
railway" acquisition, and the company
cable at it very much, but as there is as
many 'ties" under it all that it is not
seen by the naked eye, shoulnt be sur
prised if we paid six cents for some time
to come,
The election here and elsewhere is re-
corded in your columns as matter of

the only question was whether he could
