The journal admitted the name Of the
TATrLER to its columns long enough the
other day to say of us that We lied. But 1T
failed to meet the grayamen OF our charge.
The statement which it denounces-that it
steals its telegraphic news from the Evening
Post and other afternoon papers was only
an incident. The maln purport of our
editorial notice of last Sunday morning
was that It's first story of the pool-selling
in Hoboken, about which it crowed SO
much, was taken bodily from the CONNER
c;nl Advertiser of New York and reprinted
in its own columns, without the change of
a word, as its evn exclusive information ;
that its reporter had shut his eyes to the
D resence Of booksellers in Hoboken SO per-
sistently as to give color to the rumor, cur
rent in Hoboken, that he was on the pay
roll of the booksellers, and that, as mat
ter of fact, it was through an item IN the
TArr1ER that the public became aware that
pools were being ssld in that city. These
charges the Journal carefully avoided. II,
by lodging that particular part OF our sdi-
sorial. it had not admitted that it stole its
story bodily from the New York Commercial,
We should have produced the article as 1t
appeared in the two papers, in parallel col
uInns, this morning. Its virtual admission
Of this charge makes this unnecessary.
We have, however, compared the journals
sriple-headed display article with the COM
merciags, and find then word for word alike.
The Elizabeth Herald Is exercised about
our attack on the Martin Tax Act; and
calls us the organ Of the tax shirkers. The
Herald must not assume that, becauseit
works only for subsidies, no honest mo-
lives can inspire any newspaper in the
stand it takes on public questions. The
neople Of Jersey City, who approve our
conrse. know that we are not the mouth
niece either Of the tax shirkers or Of the
land sharks. The article we present TINS
morning shows that the honest taxpayers
should be against the act, as well as those
whom it is designed to Cypress.

The fixing Of the annual appropriations
for the several governing Boards of the
City develves delicate and difkcult task
upon the shoulders Of the Board of Finance,
bat they have sailed between the rocks
with singular skill and wisdom. The ap-
preparations are not all the Boards de-
handed. The Boards did not expect what
they asked They always, indeed, make
up their estimates not on the basis of
what they need but to allow plenitude of
latitude for the play of the pruning knife.
But the appropriations finally decided
upon by the Board of Finance the other
evening are decently liberal, and though
the appropriation is necessarily large be-
cause of the need of more school room
and the law increasing police pay; the
tax rate is happily lower than it was last
year.

The TArTLER, this morning, completes
the publication of the laws passed at the
last session of the Legislature. Readers
of the TATTLER will find them in handy
shape for filing away for reference. The
law this year requires that all the laws
shall have been published within 20 days
of the adjournment of the Legislature. As
the final adjournment was taken on June
8, the TArrLER makes its publication just
within the prescribed limit. Even without
this spur, the TATrLER would have pres
ented the whole volume of laws in as brief
q time as possible. Published in little

them, they would have been given to our

The manner in which and the force with
which the TArTLHR Of last Sunday pre-
scented the objections to the acceptance by
this city of the Martin Tax Act has pre-
duced revolution of sentiment concern
ing it. Gentlemen who were warmly for
it are against it now. They had not read
it carefully, and did not know how perni-
cious piece Of legislation it was. There
is little room to fear now that the officials
through whom its acceptance must be
effected will advise its approval. But for
the better information of our readers VIC
continue this morning the exposure of its
weaknesses and Weaknesses that we
began week ago. The article we furnish
to-day will be read with no less interest
than that of last Sunday morning. For
thus interesting itself in their behalf, the
TATTLEa will doubtless win the eneoniums
of taxpayers.

The Hoboken Democrat Advertiser finds
fault with the TATTLER for saying that the
circulation of the TArTLER is equal to five
times the combined circulation of all the
so-called papers appointed by the Free
holders to do the official advertising of the
Board. The TArTLER did not know, at the
time its article was penned, that the Ho-
boken paper was in theslist With it, we
do not believe that our statement was &C.
curate, and we hasten to make the dmende
honorable. The Hoboken paper would af-
ford conclusive light on the subject by
stating just what its circulation is. If it
has circulation of 2,700 papers, our cir
culation, in these midsummer months,
when hundreds of the TArTIER's readers
are out of town, is little short of three
times its circulation. It was wise of the
Board to appoint Hoboken paper, and
we know of none more worthy than the
Advertiser in that city. We extend it our
congratulations upon having received the
appointment.

The Nutt.Dnkes Tragedy.

Captain Mutt, cashier of State Treasurer
Bailey, was shot by Dukes in Uniontown,
where both lived, on December "a, 1882
Dukes was tried and his defense was that
he fired his pistol in self-defense, as Mutt
rushed into his Dukes room and advanced
upon him in threatening manner and as
though he intended to shoot him. At the
time popular feeling was very high against
Dukes because he was charged with hav-
ing betrayed Nuts daughter under
promise OF marriage; a charge which
was, however, not proved. The verdict of
the jury, acquitting Dukes on the ground
OF self-defense, was generally disapproyed
and the jury was savagely assailed. Our
own opinion was expressed to the effect
that the verdict was justified by the eyi.
dence produced. Dukes had always borne
. good reputation, and there was good rea.
son to believe that he acted as he believes
In self-defense, and the fact that he wa
asnailed in his own room was strong eyi
dence in his favor.
u now turns out that at the time Nut
was slain he was heavily involved in specr
lations in oil, using the state funds in hi
custody; and letters written by him al
publinhed showing that be was in q hig
ense oe excitement over the unfav0rabl
outlook Of his speculations. This state {

Brighter and Better.

There is more encouragement in the vote
on the Blair educational bill in the House
than in the treatment it had in the Senate.
The vote to refer to the committee on labor
instead of the committee on education, was
practically vote on the bill, inasmuch a:
the education committee has been known
to be against it and the other committee is
suspected of being for it.
1t is encouraging to see that of the votes
yesterday cast practically against the bill
there were 80 Democrats, and only IS fol-
it. 1t is pity there were any in its favor
Nearly every prominent man in the House
on both sides voted against the new refer
ence, except perhaps Messrs. Long, Ding
ley, Hit, Mckinley and Willis; the oppo
sition to the bill including Messrs. Bland
Blount, Bragg, Butterworth, Cannon
Hewitt, Hiscock, Holman, Kelley, Morri
son, Phelps, Randall, Reed, Scott, Tucke

LANCASTER. MARCH 80. 1855.
Ten Cents a Pound.

It is given out that the committee on
agriculture of the House of Representa-
tives will give hearing on the bill of the
American Agricultural and Dairy associa-
tlon, introduced by Mr.. Scott, Of Pennsyl-
vania, placing the manufacture and sale OF
"imitation butter" under the control of the
department of internal revenue, and taxing
It ten cents per pound, Wednesday, the 3lst
OF March, at 10 q. m. All friends OF the
dairy industry and those engaged in the
manufacture or sale of natural butter
throughout the country are requested to
attend this hearing and aid the movement,
which is supported by the dairymen of the
whole country"
We can hardly believe that Mr.. Scott
introduced this bill seriously, nor with a
view to press it to passage. We are quite
confident that if he has done so, not score
OF members Of Congress can be found te
support it--no, on reflection, we are not Sc
confident of that. A few score of congress
men will not be repelled by the absurdity
the unconstitutionality and the injustice o.
any proposition. Even majority of thu
House may be induced to vote ten-cent
tax on artificial butter.
This prospect does not change the char
acter of the proposed legislation, which i:
vicious and absurd in every particular and
should not be allowed to waste a moment
of the public time.
1t is intended to virtually prohibit the
manufacture of butterine, oleomargarine
or any other substitute for butter by tax
ing it out of existence. The placing of il
under internal revenue regulation is simpl.
q dodge to cover prOhibitory legislation
We have often said that the sale of bogu
butter for real butter, or the compoundins
of any food article from noxious in
gradients, is a proper concern for th'
police power of the state but to suppress
an artificial composition for food because j
supplants natural article, is so monstrou
and iniquitous proposition that we sin
cerely trust no Pennsylvania congressman
will even lend his name to it.

A Hitch Somewhere.

A hitch has come in the settlement of
the Western labor troubles Mr.. Powderly
ordered the men to go to work, upon the
consent of Gould to arbitration. Gould
now says that he did not agree to
arbitrate, but only agreed that Mr..
Hoxie, the manager of the Missouri
Pacific, might. .arbitrate if he saw fit.
Hoxie says there is nothing to arbitrate.
Powderly assumed that Hoxie would dc
what Gould was willing to do. Perhaps he
is and perhaps he knows better thar
Powderly what Gould wants done. Other
wise we must conclude that Hoxie is {
bigger man than Gould in the Missouri
Pacific direction.

From the New York sun.
Miss Cleveland, because of what she
modestly calls the briet prominence OF her
position, has felt it to be her duty TO express
her disapproval of any evening dress for
women (which shows the bust" She has
no objection to the display of the neck and
arms, and leaves her own bare on all full
dress occasions ; but she lays down the rule
that between the neck and bust there is a
line always to be drawn" and which cannot
be passed without producing an effect
shocking, nauseating, revolving, and de-
serving of the utmost denuncation on the
score OF morality, beauty, health, and every
other consideration which good men and
women should conspire to preserve and
exact"
Yet throughout the civilized world the full
evening dress for women falls below Miss
Clevelsnd's line, and is expressly designed
to show what she declares so emphatically v
cannot be revealed without outraging taste
and decency-the swell of the bosom. The
fashion, too, is not recent, but has prevailed
In all ages, and no less in times when social
morals were strict than in times when they
were lax. 1t Is true that the portraits

court of Charles H., show that the bosom
was then exposed to an extraordinary

Blaine and Edmuntls.

One Of the most interesting phases of
current political discussion is the manifest
hostility of Blaine and his friends TO Ed
munds. Especially is this disclosed since
the Vermont senator recently leaped to
the leadership of his party in the Senate
and was apparently established in it by the
vote upon his resolution. That was not
very decisive nor significant, it must be ad-
mitted, inasmuch as it had to be hurried to
fOrnia arrived, otherwise it would have
failed; and at most the Republican sena-
tors do not propose to be governed by it in
their votes upon combinations. 1t is i'm
mediately followed by the confirmation of
forty collectors of internal revenue, with
out the president transmitting any papers
to it.
But the Blaine people mean to down
Edmunds every chance they get aud two
years in advance of the next national con.
vention they have started in to do it, with
Blaines special mouth-piece, the New
York Tribune, in full lead of the pack
Under pretense of shielding the national
committee from aspersions of Edmunds
friends, the Tribune shows that the icy
statesman from the Green mountains per
sistently refused under one plea or another
to accept all invitations to speak in thai
campaign. This is ancient history, to b,
sure, and is undoubtedly revived at thi
time to break the force of any position Ed
munds may have attained in his recen
contest in the Senate.
Meantimea GOODNESS between Logan's ant
Blaine's friends is developing Sherman

is no moral question involved, by insisting on
the unattainabe to lose everything. "The

modern times is the constitution of the
United States, and il was tissue of CON-
promises. Compromises, when they are not
compromises with eternal wrong, as in the
case OF slavery, have been the stepping stones
in the great advance of our civilization. Get
the best you can, make the best OF 1t you can,
and push on at once for something better"
