It seems remarkably strange that In
his age OF general intelligence an cleo
ion inspector should open an election
provided for by law and proceed with
i without qualifying himself to hold
i. Yet this was the case In the Fourth
ward Of this city on Saturday, the hrst
Of MAY, when an election was held to
elect . member of the Board OF Public
Education. This being so, 1t was no
difficulty In deciding that MI. I. H.
wood Singley, returned 10 elected from
that ward, was not entitled to hold his
seat. The qualification Of an inspector
looks like o small thing to qutbble over,
and vet looked ct In Its right light 1t Is
really the handspring Of such election.
The inspector is sworn to act In legal
manner according TO law, and having
taken an oath to perform these duties
in q legal and impartial manner, 1t is
supposed that he will not take the vote
|of any person not legally entitled to
vote. But without this qualification
an inspector feels that he is under no
legal restraint, aAd II he has no deep
seated moral convictions an unfair cleo
ton is sure TO follow, and under any
circumstances IL Is illegal.
The practice of the past in the cleo
ton Of inspectors to hold elections has
been one that tended In the direction oil
corruption. 1t has been too much the
custom for either party to pick out and
elevate local ward politicians TO the
office OF inspector. 1t is difficult to see
why this 10 done, unless to obtain some
political advantage, and the inspector
80 chosen tries not to disappoint the
expectations of his political friends by
being manifestly partial, unjust AND
funiair. This is not what Is wanted In
honestly held elections. The inspector
of an election should be the highest
type OF an honest man, q man who
would take the vote Of political oppo-
rent as readily and with rs much plea
sure as he would the vote Of o politica
friend.
There IL o great reform demanded ir
the selection Of election inspectors. Al
| in State election, they are elected tw'
years ahead, they should be permanent
residents In the districts in which the!
are elected. A part Of the business o
the City Council from now until th
city election will be to elect inspector
and assistant inspectors who have N
permanent residence, but who remov
from district to district. Such inspec
tors may be honest, capable men, bu
the will Of the people would be mucl
better subserved by electing q perms
nent resident OF the district who is nc
in the habit of removing from year t
year. The office OF an election inspeC
tor is a very important one, and th
best men should be elected to fill Is.

wheat, Fruit and Truck.

Farmers hardly know whether to|
congratulate themselves or not on the
promise Of an immense wheat crop theI
present season. All indications point
% an immense crop, and there Is mol
dou BIT, II nothing happens to 1t between
now and harvest time, the crop will
simply be enormous. A gentleman,
an experienced wheat grower and ex-l
perimenter in the growing OF wheat,
said to MS yesterday that he never knew
of such promising prospect for large
crop. Ordinarily this would be good
news for farmers who make wheat
raising an object in farming, but wheat
new, Q drug in the market at 8S and sol
GENTS, the outlook for the future is any
thing else than promising for the wheat
growers.
A year ago wheat was dollar q
bushel, and the growers were discour-
aged; they will be more discouraged
now at eighty eight cents, and with an
Immense crop in prospect that may re-
duce 1t much lower. When wheat gets
below dollar bushel, 1t Is hard to
see where the profit comes In ct in this
country, though 1t may possibly be
raised with profit even at much
hover figure in the wheat growing
prairles OF the North western States
and territories. The great facilities,
both natural and provided, Of the West
over the East for the raising Of wheat.
will have q tendency to concen-
trate the growing Of these cereals in
that section, and in leaving the East
exclusively to the growing OF fruit and
truck. Fortunately for the East these
Mre perishable articles that cannot be
shipped from the West to the East &c

With these constant changes going
On We may expect, at no distant day,
20 see farmers in this section giving
their entire attention to the cultivation
OF fruit and truck, except perhaps
enough cereal products for home con
sumption. With the great manutac
turing cities OF the East to supply will
fruit and truck, our farmers will still
receive a good return for their labor
and 1t strikes us that the sooner the.

With the transfer Of wheat CROWN

The Gambetta of BARRIERS.

The most unimaginative mind can
portray to itself the probable effects of
misplaced confidence in such person
rs a barber, and it is, luckily, not often
that the wielders of the razor betray
their trust in the manner related of 4
mad coi6eur of Montmartre. 1t APP
pears that man who wanted to be
carefully shaved went into the shop of
NJ Saviard, one of the most artistic
cOifeurS in those upper regions of
Paris which have been rendered no.
torious through their connection with
the commune. Having sat down, ac-
cording to custom. in an easy chair.
the customer, full of trust, presented
his face and throat TO the barber. Nj.
Saviard himself. Scarcely had the lat
ter tied the spotlessly white towel
around the neck of the unsuspicious
subject on whom he was about to oper-
ate with razor. than n conversation
began between the two. 1t turned
upon the tonsorial art. and Saviard as
tonished his customer by suddenly ex-
claiming. in loud and defiant tones. Il
am person of more Importance than
you are aware of. am the Gambetta
of BARRIERS. / mean to revolutionize the
art of shaving, which is still in its in
fancy, and to give it development
more in accordance with modern insti-
tutions. Thus speaking. Saviard
thrust an immense poster into the
hands of his amazed customer saving:
Read that! 1t will be posted to-
morrow on all the walls of the capital. "
The man was held down in the arm
chair while he read the poster, wherein
the barber had called himself the second
Gambetta and the true Partisan Figaro,
and stated his intention of opening
branch establishments all over the me-
tropolis. The customer took all this in
with sufficient good grace, but the
glazing eyes of the second Gambetta
terrified him, and he rose to depart.
Saviard, however, now became furious,
and actually attempted to cash the man
with razor because he tried to get
out of the establishment. BY a series
of adroit acrobatic movements the I'M
lncky customer escaped, and was fol-
lowed down the street by the barber,
razor still in hand. The police now
appeared on the scene. and took the
mailman to the hospital at their station.

DYING in the Poor House.

a fine-looking young woman, well-dress-
ed an accomplished. arrived in Pittsburg
a few days since from New FORK In search
of n long lost mother. She was Miss Sadie
Jones, and the story she told the officers OF
the poor board was a strange one. Eight
cen years ago Mrs Margaret Jones aban-
doned her two little children, both girls,
aged and years, in New York City, and
was not heard of again. The girls grew TO
womanhood, believing their mother dead.
Last week letter reached them stating
that the mother was still alive, and Sadie
came at once 20 investigate the matter.
Assistant-Secretaty Negley of the Poor
Guardians. took Sadie up TO Homestead.
In the hospital department, lying upon a
bed and nearly exhausted, she saw an
aged woman. The whole frame of the
poor creature was convulsed with IA
hacking cough as they approached, for
she is in the last stage of consumption,
but she partially regained her composure
and as the girl looked down upon her a
terror-stricken expression at first came
into her eyes. her sallow cheeks blanched,
and then. with an expression of consum-
ing love in her countenance, she raised
her bony hands and in voice which,
though choked, was full of emotion ex-
claimed: Sadie oh Sadie.''
The woman recognized the daughter in
stantly without warning that she was
coming or suggestion as to who Sadie was.
The daughter knelt on the poorhouse floor
by the bedside of her dying mother, and as
they sobbed Historically, clasped their
arms around each others necks, and
flooded the wretched woman's pillow with
their tears, all others turned aside and
left them alone. Miss Sadie, when she
became more calm, said that the identif
cation was made complete not only by
her mothers corroboration of the story
given above, but by the fact that hel
mothers personal appearance corresponds
precisely with description given by hel
elder sister. Miss Jones came with the
purpose of taking her mother home, but
the poor creature is too weak to be moved
and the devoted girl has engaged board a
Homestead, and will pay daily visits Il
the city farm until the swiftly coming day
when the dying mother will be lost TO thu
world forever.
