eight days overdue. She Is 8 new vessel

other way can the abeence OF the M,s-

worthy vessels ON che SEQ. She does
mot carry passengers. and, If she ploked
up the Dsnmsrk's ~passengeys, would
make for the nearest port, as her stock
Of provisions would soon become Z

Losd ONeili reached th,s port on

Thus IL will be seen that the Missouri is

Under ordinary circumstances she

stephen Girard,s Test.


A man who had just set up in tho
hardware business and who had been q
clerk where the eccentric millionaire,
Stephen Girard, had been in the habit
Of trading, applied to him for Q share
Of his patronage. Girard bought Of
him, but when the bill was sent in he
found fault and marked down the
prices.
''Cask Of nails" he growled, (which
was offered for 80 and 90. You have
charged 70 and 70, and you must taks
II off,"
II cannot do it." said the young
merchant.
"But you must do il, roared Girard.
II cannot and will not" was the
final reply.
Girard bolted out apparently in
rage, but soon after sent check fos
the whole bill. The young man b.
gan to relent and say to himself,
"Perhaps he was offered them at thai
price, but it Is all over now. l an
sorry I did not reduce the bill and gel
il out Of him on something else. Hi
trade would b worth a good deal Il
me-"
By and by Girard came again and
gave him another order. The young
man was very courteous and said be
was sorry be did not reduce the for
mer bill.
"Reduce bill" exclaimed Girard
'shad you done it would neve,
trade with you again. I merely mean,

Therefore, be it resolved, That

most earnestly protest against
such corporation or other protec.

disaster and ruin into the homes Of
our people, and even compels US on
public days to remain at our homes

That Cooperation Question Again

That Corporation Question Again.
EDITOR TIMEs:-
You are perhaps not aware that
Maryville has had some experience
as corporation. Under our old
corporation heavy tax was paid,
and but little improvements were
made Of q permanent nature. The
town was flooded with corporation
warrants" which were hawked a.
bout at from twenty Ave to fifty
cents on the dollar. The tax pay
ers paid the face value, the marshal
and hands employed got what they
could, and somebody got the profits
but who it was, has never been re-
vealed. This was the state ofaffairs
the greater part Of the time. The
last board, as we'll as I remember,
made a good record, when Main
Street was macadamized. Under
that corporation there was five
times more crime and rowdyism
than at present; and the place is
fully five times larger now than
then. Nights were made hideous
by bands oflewd women, and sem
sual men, all inflamed with liquor,
parading the streets. The town
constable was defied, and on many
occasions when attempting to en-
force order, he faced the muzzle of
revolvers. On public days ladies
could not walk the principal streets
without hearing blasphemous and
rude language.
These are facts which many OF
our citizens we'll remember.
take issue with the TIMES on the
subject Of the Taxing District. In
the first place, l do not believe that
a Taxing District can be legally or
ganized in Maryville at all now.
The law only provides for this form
of government where chartered
municipalities have been repealed
Ours was repealed, Taxing Dis.
trict organized, which was abolish.
ed, and now we have no provisioni
for organizing the same govern
ment that was abolished.
But the Taxing District is not I
Y fraud. 1t Is an excellent form b
government, with all the power
necessary for any ordinary town
In fact, it's powers are nearly edna
to the chartered municipality. I
it the offenses committed on tn
streets of nights, that the TIMES ant
Indicator want regulated, 1t woult
be far cheaper for the business mel
of Maryville to employ constable
to watch the streets and arrest Of
tenders, than to pay the tax tina
would be forced upon them by ,
corporation. The offenses latel.
committed in Maryville would no
fall under the jurisdiction Of an irol
clad corporation. Thievings ant
burglaries are felonies, and the ju
risdiction for their punishment
In the State, and cannot, ought no
to be vested in any inferior govern
ment. No charter can be grantee
that can take hold of these crimes

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The United
States treasurer has ordered that in the
future the redemption of legal tender
notes by the treasury department shall
be made on the basis of the three-ffthS
rule in vogue in the redemption of ma
tional bank notes. Heretofore the for
mer were redeemed on the basis of the
tenths-that is, mutilated note was re-
deemed at value proportionate to the
part presented, counting in tenths.
Under the three-ffthS rule, if that part
of a note is presented it is redeemed at
its full face value, buff less than three
ffths is handed in nothing is paid, I'M
less an affidavit is filed, together with
evidence to support veracity that the
missing portion of the note has been
destroyed. Thus, under this rule, the
person presenting the note gets all or
nothing, instead of proportlonate
number of tenthS of the full value.
