How to Get Along.

Don't stop TO tell stories in business
hours.
Ii you have a place Of business, be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich when sitting
around stores and saloons.
Never fool" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, and
also prOmptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you know
nothing of.
Do not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made in a day by
going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man Of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to. simply
because it is fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity of snap
ping it out dOg-fashiOn, but say it firmly
and respectfully.
Use your brains, rather than those Of
others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.

be any fallaey i'm the argument, let us
know it.-AnOn.

When the new silver certificates. the
designs for which are now in course of
preparation, are issued, the people of the
country will begin to appreciate the fact
that the treasury is in possession of
Democrats. The silver certificates now
out have been generally condemned as
inartistic. and the management Of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
the new issues Of all denominations
hopes to make a decided improvement.
The design for the ten-dOllar certificates
is graceful in lettering and scroll work,
and the vignette is fine portrait Of the
late Vice President Hendricks. The law
provides that only the portraits of de-
ceased statesmen shall be used for this
purpose. Heretofore the Republicans
have had a monopoly Of the pictorial
features of the government promises to
pay.
The comment on the New York Tri-
bune's printing of Edmund's letters de-
clining twice to speak in the Blaine cam
paign, after urgent solicitation, excites
interest in Washington. The fact that
the exposure occurred the very day af-
ter the Edmunds resolutions were passed
is construed to be the attempt of Blaine
to crush the NermOnter still further than
did the manifest discontinue visited
upon him by the harmless adoptions of
his ridiculous proclamation against the
President.

The Kentucky Legislature has passed a
bill taxing each revolver in the State
$3.50. This is good deal more sensi-
bic than taxing silver watches. most of
which are not worth the amount of the
tax. II Kentucky enfOrces rigidly the
new law, in year she will have more
money i'm her treasury than she will
know what to do with. as nearly every
adult male carries at least one pistol and
a good many of them have shooting
iron in each pocket.

TOWNSHIP ASSESSORS.
The Attorney-Generars Opinion of How Such
Officer Is Elected, and His Duties.

In answer to questions submitted to him by
State Auditor Rice, in relation to the election of
township assessors, Attorney general Hord has
prepared an opinion, which, in substance, is as
follows
Question-For what time does an assessor hold
his office, and when is he electedg
Answer-Township assessors are chosen at
the April election and the term Of Office is four
years.
On case of death or resignation of an as
SCISSOR. how is the vacancy filledg
A-The county auditor fills such vacancy by
appointment, and the person so appointed holds
the office until the next succeeding April cleo
tion and until his successor is elected and quail
fed.
Off person is. elected to fill vacancy,
does ne hold the Office for four years, or for the
unexpired term only2
A.-The Office of township assessor is not
created, or the term of service regulated by the
Constitution. The Legislature may prescribe
the terms upon which any Office created by it
shall be exercised. 1t may prescribe the term of
service, or abrogate the Office There is but one
Limitation upon the power. and that is. that no
Office shall be created the tenure of which shall
be longer than four years. The power to create
an Office and fix its tenure carries with it the
power to provide for the election of officers and
the filing of vacancies that may OCCUR. If the
Office of township assessor had been created. and
the tenure of Office prescribed by the Constitu-
ton, different rule might prevail
