To Editor Of EVENING Journal.
The tall, slender, dark complicated
man that wears a dark coat and vest and
light pantaloons, and who prowls on
Eighth street, from Orange to Monroe
streets, Offering insults to ladies, both
old and young, had better take piece Of
friendly advice and make his visits less
frequent. if he does not wish to end his
career in New Castle, or some other place
Of confinement.
The prowler takes great pains TO come
up to a lady and ask her for the pleasure
of seeing her home, or If she will meet
him at such a place or 60 to Philadelphia
and take a good dinner with him. If
repulsed he has, on several occasions,
said he was so fascinated with the lady S
appearance that he could not help being
forward In answer to a lady telling
him the other evening that she did not
wish TO meet such a scoundrel as him, he
followed her three or four squares. using
indecent language and telling her he was
not done with her yet.

IT was a factional fight among the
Democrats which gave the Republicans a
chance to use their money and make it
possible TO elect Senator Higgins. That
fight is over and the Democratic party is
harmonious now in contest for princi-
pies, not men. 1t is in bad taste
to revive the dead private and
personal issues of the last cam
paign Every good Democrat regrets
the factional fight and its issue. The
way to retrieve the groundlost then is to
close the ranks and fight the enemy. Ii
is worse than useless to attempt to
fix the blame Of the last
campaign. Let Us try rather

WE are undergoing the perennial
political whine of the Republicans that
they are liable to be cheated out Of their
votes. Tho reason of this whine is ap-
parent. The Republicans wish to pay
the taxes for a lot of people who are un-
willing TO pay their own taxes. If there
is anything the Republican political man
ayers never get left on, It is in buying
votes. They made scandal in the last
national campaign by buying and trading
in Indiana and New York TO an extent un-
known anywhere in the civilized world in
any age. They used money in Delaware TO
an extent previously unheard of, and they
have rewarded tine man who went
to Philadelphia to raise it. That
is precisely what they wish to
do here. They pretend to be enraged
now because they think such shamming
will influence weak-kneed Democrats and
goody -goody .nobodies. The fact is that
any man who wishes. to vote and makes
a reasonable effort to pay his taxes and
get his receipt can do So Those who
neglect to pay their taxes are not en-
titled to vote. They are not good citi-
zens and do not deserve to vote There
is really nothing IN this perennial howl
except strategem to divert attention
from some vote buying scheme Of the
Repub Leans. Those making the howl
are Bach, Pickles Dave Buckingham,
Hersey and crowd Of disinterested
patriots OF that ilb The community has
learned not to rely with too implicit con-
fidence on the rabld partisans of thRt
class.

Or course it seems dreadfully disloyal
to laugh at Corporal Tanner but some
good people are doing it at the risk Of
the disapproval Of the pension sharks.
Corporal Tanner is not as strong in some
other directions as in the advocacy Of
reckless pensions. He advocated pen
sions TO the Confederate soldiers
not knowing that the constitution pro
hibits pensions to Confederate soldiers.
Gush and ignorance frequently 60 to-
gether. Corporal Tanner is not so much
TO blame for his ignorance as those who
put him in an important place are to
blame for not finding safer and wiser
man. At least man who had read the
Constitution Of the United States might
have been found.

Clarkson,s simple Theory.

New York Times.
The ominous click OF the Post Office
Department guillotine has again been
accelerated and fourth-class postmasters
are now being decapitated at the rate Of
more than 200 day. 1t is estimated
that this weeks record will reach 1900
heads. Clarkson, in the role of the sea
green Robespierre" of the public service,
will go into history as the speediest Off
cial headsman Of the time. As it has been
proclaimed that only 'the interests of
the public service" are to determine re-
movals from office, we are privileged to
observe the remarkable phenomenon of
discovering in a single day more than 200
inefficient postmasters and finding an
equal number of competent men to fill
their places. But the rule by which it is
done is simple and easy when once you
understand IL. All Democrats in office
are inefficient and all active Republican
politicians are competent to run post
Offices. That is the simple theory of

REv. EDWARD EVERETT HALE said
the public schools at present "do not fit
children for life; they prepare them for
examinations It is frequently the case
that the same pupil who carries off the
prize Of school examination by
answering an array of questions
ON isolated subjects specially pre-
pared is totally ignorant Of the
parts Of speech Of grammar and is unable
to read an ordinary sentence correctly.
The schools attempt to teach too much,
consequently they do not teach anything.
This is due in a great measure to prepar-
ing for examination instead of preparing
for life.

PHILADELPHIA. Thursday. May IS. 1889.
There is touch of the
'forest primeval" in the Ad-
irondack Camp. The murmur
of the pines and the music of
the brook are wanting, but the
spicy odor of balsam and FIR
are a condiment for the senses
that help to complete the
thought of the real camp of
the woods in the soon-coming
days.
The cool linens and mattings
on the floors; the open wicker
and plain hard wood furniture;
the touches of sports in brook
or field, copse or forest; the
paper covered novel of the day
and the sturdier volumes on
the bookshelves; the dainty
desk with the stationery so
naturally tossed about, continue
to give you practical notions of
the beauty of truly rural Sum
mer housekeeping.

If, as reported from Wilmington,
Democratic schemers are attempting to
disfranchise their Republican brethren

THE tax duplicates for this hundred
have been accepted heretofore by county
collectors under the authority of the

that the reason assigned by Dougherty

for this year on Monday morning, and
beginning at once to receive taxes, with.

AT the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Llchtenberger, on Fourth street, there
assembled on Wednesday afternoon a
very select party to witness the marriage
of Miss Emile Lichtenberger to Mr.. E.
E. kugemau. The bride looked yerv
charming in white faille silk, trimmed
with Duchesse lace, and was attended bv
Miss Nellie Kurtz as bridesmaid. When
the ceremony was concluded the puests
sat down to an elaborate BANQUET pre-
pared by MIR. Ebinger, the menu having
been arranged with skill that proved

was prepared is a master in his profes-

acting as master of ceremonies. After
the toast of health and good wishes TO
the bride and bridegroom had been
quaffed Col. A. H. Denker was called
upon for speech and spoke in his hap
piest vein, giving an excellent disserta-
ton on the growth of Los Angeles and
the glorious future ahead of her. He
referred TO the fact that a good deal
depended on having good hotels. and
wound up with an allusion to the mann
moth hostelry now in course of constrnc-
ton on Main and Tenth streets.
Professor Wilhartitz proved himself to
be as good an orator as he is a musician.
He spoke of the interest that EVERYONE
who resided in Los Angeles felt in her
welfare, and mentioned with pride tho
strong musical element that has lately
come to the front in the CITY.
Colonel Ayers was called upon to
respond to the toast of Woman" and
dld 1t In very mastery manner. He
waxed quite poetical, quoting Percy
Bysshe Shelley and carrying his auditors
IN the realms of fancy to the blue waters
OF the Mediterranean. Speaking of
the marvellous growth of Los Angeles
he said that in advertising this section it
was not enough to merely state the con-
dltlon OF affairs, but also to give facts and
details, 30 that the intending settler may
know. what he has to encounter. Land
here is fully worth 5000 an acre for agri-
cultural purposes, and never was labor

ment If the man of toll had the usufruct

country for infant industries, for there is
every inducement here for their develop
ment. II
Many other speeches were made be-
fore the proceedings terminated, and it
will ever be remembered by all who par
ticipated as one of the most delightful
affairs ever given in the city. Among
those present were Miss Lamanse.
