Direct Violation of Law,

The Philadelphia Press Of yesterday pre-
sents what it very properly characterizes as
evidence of the most shameless and direct
violation Of the law prohibiting the assess
ment of oiliceholders for political purposes,
in the reproduction in fac simile OF the let
ter Of William II. SchOAeld, one Of Collector
Gerker's deputies. The letter is as fol-
lows:
UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE DEPUTY
COLLECTORS OFFICE, FIRST DISTRICT PENNsYL.
vANIA, Sept. 29 lSS6-DCar Sir; Contributions
amounting to per cent, of yearly salary is
expected from all employees OF the internal
revenue office, first district Pennsylvania.
Send Immediately to
WILLIAM II. scHoplELD,
United States Internal Revenue Once, Phila.
delphia.
By order of Fredk. Gerker, Collector.
The law thus directly violated is as fol-
lows:
That no clerk or empoye of any department,
branch, or bureau of the executive, judicial,
or military or naval service of the United
States shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or
receive, or be in any manner concerned in So
liciting or receiving, any assessment, subsCrip-
ton, or contribution, for any political purpose
whatever, from any officer clerk, or employe
of the United States, or any department,
branch, or bureau thereof or from any person
receiving any salary or compensation from
moneys derived from the treasury OF the United
States.
This act was passed by the forty seventh
Congress-the only Congress since the
forty-thlrd that has been Republican in
both branches. 1t was faithfully carried
out under the Republican administration OF
President Arthur, It's dead letter under
the ''reformn administration.

Extension of Massachusetts, Avenue.

The extension Of Massachusetts, avenue
in northwesterly direction is animportant
and valuable improvement. The $4,000
appropriated by law for the opening and
extension Of suburban streets and avenues
for the current year could not be more
wisely and beneGcially used to increase the
taxable wealth of the District or to pro-
mote the convenience of citizens.
1t has been urged that the commissioners
should not expend the money in the extern
sion of the grandest residence avenue of
the city because some citizens will make a
large profit on their investments along this
avenue. 1t must not be forgotten the
higher the valuation the greater the rev.
enue. Then, the commissioners have no
power to compel private citizens to
pay for improvements. They are them.
selves but the creatures Of the
law, and it is their duty to execute the law.
In doing so it is to be expected, as it is
their duty, that they win promote the iu-
terests and the convenience OF the largest
number Of our citizens. Those who desire
different plan of Improvements have
simply to 20 to Congress aud have the law
changed to suit their views. Until ther
the commissioners have no election but K
proceed according TO law.

A "PLAYED-oUT issue" is what the Dem

then the republic will soon be "played out, 1"

fraud. But we feel sure that these allied
brethren are mistaken. They will learn, by

who died recently in California, and
whose remains were brought to Little
Rock for interment, Rev. DR.. Buchanan
used the following beautiful language
She is gone Bnt who willtake her place
IN the service of suffering humanity
and God? She was helper. In dark
hours OF need and suffering | have
seen her come to the rescue with
cheertulness perfectly snblime. Again,
1t IS arare thing father can find a daugh-
ter IN whom he can confde all his secret
troubles and SORROWS, and from whom he
may confidently expect means of solace
ana rellet-who can take the place of
this departed daughter?'
That this tribute was deserved all who
knew the deceased well will testify ;thatit
was deserved makes tthe more beautiful
and touching. Well may be asked, Who
will take the place of such a daughter?
"a daughter whose flial affection was
not all spent in sickly smiles and beg
glng of parental favors, and whose time
was not spent in Longing, gossiping and
reading love-stories-but a daughter
whose cultivated intellect, happy, low
ing disposition Of heart, and industrious,
energetic habits, made her a fit com
panion for a doting father,
Such daughter is a treasure inyal-
liable, and her place will not be filled in
this world. The remembrance will re-
remain, but where was the actual pre-
sence will henceforth be vacuum-un-
til the meeting shall take place in The
great beyond. Then, and not till then,
will the happy presence be restored and
t he place of the departed daughter be
filled by herself"
