Berrv's Wife.
From the Ne,o York Herald.

From the Nel1 York Herald
Mrs. Berry Wall is really becoming more Of a
public attraction than her erstwhile glorious
husband. She has already reached the dis
tinction of having men fight for her. At Long
Branch few evenings since Mr. Martin, the
crack billiardist of the Racquet club, engaged
in a hot discussion of Mrs. Wallis charms with
some gentleman-an Englishman-stop at
rough and tumble fight on the piazza and the
contest grew so determined that the burly head
porter of the hotel was summoned to separate
the cOmbatants. When Mr. Martin entered the
supper room subsequently he brought with him
badly BACKED eve and a bruised nose as the
results of his gallant championship of the lady
But he made no attempt to conceal his INJURIES
seemed rather proud of them in fact and was
more than amply rewarded by pressing invi-
tation from Nlr. and Mrs. Wall to take his even
ing meal at their table The following day the
deposed king of the idlers insisted on a recon
citation and hand shake between Mr. Martin
and the Englishman, and that evening both of
the gentlemen dined with the Walls And thus
endeth the first lesson.

The Republican Dilemma.

/ The republicans are beginning to get
tired Of the charge that their party advo-
Gates free whisky and some Of them are
/ frank enough to say 50. When they placed
/ the free whisky plank in their platform
/ they did not see what weapon they were
| putting into the hands of their political
enemies They we're aiming to make the
position Of their party in favor Of the pro-
tective system as strong as possible, and
overlooked the free whisky blunder.
They are now foolishly attempting to de
fend their free whisky plank by alleging
that if the tax is tlkou off OF whisky no
more whisky win be cons med tan at
present OF course they know better than
that. Whisky was 81 cents gallon in 1870
and there were consumed IS, OG0 SS4 gallons
that year. In 1860 the price fell to 10 cents,
and the consumption rose to S9,J6S, 81 gal
Ions. In 1861, when the population Of the
country had increased wonderfully, the
consumption was only G0,OJ0,0O0 a year,
nearly third less than in 1860. The reason
for this decrease was the price, which,
owing to the internal revenue tax, was
s. 81 per gallon.
If the whisky tax were to be repealed,
whisky would be cheaper than beer. There
would be distillery at every cross roads,
and in half of the apple orchards of the
country The consumption Of spurious
liquors would increase enormously, and
much of the temperance work of the last
quarter of a century would be undOne.
Even Blaine greatest of the republican
leaders. declared in one of his letters or in
terviews while in Europe, that the removal
of the whisky tax would undo what had
been accomplished by prohibition and high
license
If the republicans were wise they would
not undertake to uphold the free whisky
PLANK of their platform. They would
frankly acknowledge that they made a
blunder.
There is ground for thinking that one of
the obstacles which hinder the republicans
of the senate from Offering a substitute for
the Mills bill is their unwillingness to pro
pose to repeal the whisky tax. And yet,
how can they avoid proposing the repeal of
that tax without appearing to condemn the
Chicago platform9

1t is reported that the clerks in the office
of the supervising architect are in a rather
unfortunate predicamen'. 1t seems that
little over three months ago it was discov-
cred that there was a deficiency in the
amount appropriated for the salaries of the
clerks and it was decided to make it up by
Temporarily reducing the salaries. Accord
ingly about 81 day was taken from the
salary Of each clerk, with the clerks con-
sent, until July l, when the new appropria-
ton became available. Of course, the
clerks expected that they would get back
the money which they had contributed to
make up the deficiency, and that after July
/ their salaries would be restored to the old
figure 1t is now contended that, owing to
the office having been placed under the civil
service rules by the president ON July /, it
will not be possible to restore the clerks, as
they are to be classified, and according to
the salaries they are now receiving, and not
according to what they received three and
half months ago OF course, the clerks
are protesting that they ought not to be
made to suffer for fault which was not
theirs, and it is probable that if they protest
with sufficient vigor they will not have to
suffer. Their experience, however, will
teach them not to interfere with Uncle
Sans way of doing business.

Inspection Needed.

There is room in this state for some prac-
teal legislation that would be of incalcu-
liable benefit to the people For instance,
there ought to be authority lodged some
where to appoint inspectors of private
charities, such as orphans homes, hospitals
and asylums, and also examiners to look
into the affairs OF loan, building and trust
companies, and other similar organizations
in which money is handled
All the organizations of the character
above mentioned are ostensbly in the
hands of officers who are responsible TO the
stockholders, but, in point of fact, they are
managed almost wholly by one or two men,
who do not always prove faithful to the
trust reposed in them.
In one of the loan and building associa-
tons of this city the stockholders will have
to bear a loss of from $50 900 to So ,OOJ due
to the dishonesty of their treasurer. This loss
will bear heavily upon some of the stock
holders. The officer at the head of this as
ISOLATION stands high in the community
and the directors, doubtless, meant to do
their duty, and yet for the want of regular
and careful inspection of the financial af-
fairs of the association, the stockholders
suffered severely.
There should be law requiring all such
associations to be inspected, and the reports
Of their standing should be made to the gov
ernor, and published, in order that each
stakeholder may see exactly how his associa-
ton stands. The reports should be made
quarterly, or at least semi annually.
The inspection of private charitable in
situations should be made by competent and
conscientious state officers. 1t may be OBJ
jccted that the state has nothing to do with
private asylums, hospitals and homes. That
is a mistake. The people contribute the
money for their support, and they have a
right to know that their money is being
used TO good advantage.
