THINGS begin to look decidedly bad
Tor William B. Smith. the present May
OF OF Philadelphia. On Monday last
cOmmitteeOf the Common Council, after
a long investigation of the charges
against him, reported by a vote of seven
60 one. in favor of his impeachment. The
report charges him with five acts of
'mal-administration in office - but the
principal ones being hagTaHt misappro-
priation Of funds. Without specifying
amounts involved, the report alleges
that license fees have been converted to
his own use, that his chief clerk retained
public furds in his possession, and that
his private secretary altered checks
drawn TO the order of the city treasurer
and deposited them to the order Of the
Mayor. Coming right on the heels OF
the corrupt disclosures in New York
the question arises, is it possible any
longer to Dut an honest man in office in
o large city ?

Mr.. Cleveland he was at last appointed
as agent 10 aIlot the lands in severalty
now held by the Crow Indians. He was
regarded as a lucky man as the Office
was worth eight dollars per day and ex-
penses, and general surprise was Xpress-
ed last week when it was learned that
Saunders had resigned. It has since
translliTed thas he owes the government
ffty-one thousand dollars, dating back
to the time when he was Revenue Col

Andrew JOhrs son. 1t seems thai under
the law an officer cannot draw his salary
when he is indebted to the Treasury, and
as Saunders would have been obliged to
serve twenty years III his new Office be-
fore his salary would extinguish his
indebtedness to the govern ment, which
was state of affairs he never dreamed
of, he concluded to withdraw in favor OF
some man who was not laboring under
such a load Of financial embarrassment.
There will not be any alarming amount
of sympathy felt for Rolfe s: Saunders,

N the following paragraph In every
Legislative and Congressional district
they can exercise a controlling Influence
in the choice of Representatives. By

can send to Congress and to the State

The most elaborate precautions have
been taken to protect the car during
his journey to the scene of the autumn
maDeuvers of the Russian army. He
travels in train of three sections taking
care that all the window blinds of every
carriage in each section is closed, when
ever a station is passed, so that no one
not connected with his party can tell
which section or car he occupies. Troops
will line the entire route with loaded
rifles as the train passes, and 5O, 600 of
them have been detailed especially for
this duty. Yet this man wields greater
power than any other living human be-
ing. Responsible to DO one, dependent
on no popular assembly, his word is law,
and lis tremendous power is further
augmented by the religious fanaticism
and awe that is his due as the head of

INTEmPERANcE AND CRIME.

At Least Two-Thirds of All the Crime
Committed May BE Justly Attributed
to the Use of Intoxicating Liquors.
The second in the series of Temper
;yncc meetings under the joint super
vision of the General Assembly's Per-
manent Committee on Temperance
and the Standing Committee on Tenn
perance of the Presbytery of New York,
was held on Sunday evening. The prin-
cipal address of the evening was made
by Chief-Justice Noah Davis, who spoke
on the " Relation of Intemperance to
Crime" He dwelt particularly on
what he had seen in his official capaci-
ty, saying: "For more than a quarter

of crime sweeping its victims past me.
| Why should | not denomee to the
world the causes of those crimesP Of
the large numbers of criminals ar
| raigned before me, have, as general
thing, inquired into the causes of their
crimes, and it is my firm conviction
that of such as homicide, wife-beating,
assault and battery and disorderly con-
duct, fully eight-tenths are due to the
use of intoXicatingli liquors. OF all crimes,
the testimony of many judges for over
two hundred years shows that at least
two-thirds are attributable to the same
cause. The English law, from which
our criminal law is taken, makes drunk
enness no excuse for crime, else l fear
we would not ourselves have had the
virtue to do it, If this were not an ac-
knowledged principle of law drunk
enness would be the preparation for
every crime.
Judge Davis spoke strongly in favor
of the adoption of general system of
paying off workmen in the middle of
the week as one means of preventing
the squandering of their earnings for
rum, and thus of preventing crime. He
stated that three times within the last
four weeks he had young men before
him who had in each case committed a
crime late on Saturday night or Sunday
morning. After having spent the night
in liquor-shop with fifteen or twenty
companions one was in each instance
killed. Ii the workmcn were paid in
the middle of the week and went to
work the next day they would notspend

WHY SQUIRRELS COUGH.


Pretty Indian Legend of the Magical
Production of Food.
Another illustration in Indian legends
of the magical production of food is the
delightful explanation of the reason
why squirrels cough. Manabozho
came one day to the lodge of the red
headed woodpecker and, being invited
in, sat down. Now there was nothing
for the guests to eat, so the bird flew
on the lodge pole (Which was the pole
of a tamarack tree), and after a few
pecks with his beak, found a crevice,
out of which he pulled something, and
10! it was fine raccoon. This feat he
performed half dozen times in sue
cession, and then the squaws came in
and prepared the feast. Next day the
red-headed woodpecker returned the
visit, and Manabozho, who was not
going to be beaten by bird, had taken
care to have new lodge built round a
tamarack tree; so, apologizing, just as
the woodpecker had done, for having
nothing in the larder, he hoped up
toward the pole, and clinging to it, as
he had seen the bird do, began rapping
his nose against the wood, Unable to
find any raccoons, he got so angry that
he knocked his head too hard against
the pole, and fell down on the floor
stunned. And the woodpecker went
off in a huff A few days later Mana
bozho was standing at his door, Won
dering how he could get even with his
neighbor, especially as it was the depth
of winter and there was nothing but
roots to eat, when he saw two men
carrying a bear. He got into CONVEX
sation with them, and, speaking of his
own magical powers, was asked to give
an exhibition of them. This he did at
once by turning one of the two men in
to stone. "And now, turn him back
into a man, said the other. "O!' said
Manabozho. 81 can not do that.
only know the first half of the trick. )"
llsssse; the second hunter, unable to drag
the bear all by himself, left it at Mana
bozho's door; whereupon that rascal at
| once invited all his friends to the great
feast, and was prodigiously important
and fussy at being able to ask them to
come and eat good bears meat at a time
| when every one was living on roots.
But alas! as each one filled his mouth,
| the bear meat turned into ashes, and,
one after the other, the guests began
coughing as ifthey were going to choke.
The more they ate the worse the
coughing grew, and at last the host, in
his Indignation, turned them into
| squirrels, and that is why squirrels
cough so much.-San Francisco h,gLe-

They will drink and offer it to you.
