THE SHOREHAM.
Mechanics Lien Placed Against the
Vice-Pres deaf.

Nlce-IreS uelt.
Howarth & Gates have placed mechan-
les lien against Levi T. Morton for 1869. 80
for labor done and materials furnished the
contractors, Reese, Evans e Co. 1t seems
that this is balance due for brick work,
which the contractors for erecting the
Shoreham, for some reason, have not
settled. So far as Mr.. Morton is
concerned all payments have been
made, and right here comes an illustration
of the unjust working of the local mechan-
les lien law: Mr.. Morton pays his indebt-
edness to the contractor, but the latter fails
to discharge all his financial obligations with
those who furnished material or performed
work, and to secure themselves these parties
placed lien against the building. Mr.. Nor
ton to keep all clouds off his title, has only
one course open, if the contractor fails &c
pay the claim, and that is TO pay the second
time for the same service he has once paid
for He is not the only property owner
meeting with this experience and the inn
portanee of amending tbi' law has become
apparent to many persons who have built
houses.

When Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Dope v was made
chairman of the republican state conven-
ton the other day, he said: "Ours is a
& 'ver0ment by maj 1rities." Perhaps what
Mr.. Depew meant was that ours ought to
be a government by majorities. In 1876
Mr.. Tilden had big popular majority for
President over Mr. Ha es, but he was not
inaugu ated; in 1888 DIR. Clevel md received
about 100000 p Dpular majority over Gea.
Harrison, but Gen. Harrison is President. In
Rhode Island last year, the democratic can
didate for governor received nearly as many
votes as the republican and prohibition
candidates comb,ued, a I'd yet rspubic lean
legislature placed the republican candidate
in the governors chair. In Connecticut
and New Jersey the same kind of thing has
happened frequently, owing to the repub-
lican gerrymaader And yet Mr. Depew
tells us that "this is a government by
majorities." What can this distinguished
post-prandial speaker be thinking about9

A Joke OF the Judge.
From the Mem Yors Herald


Few men are fonGer of a joke than Chief
Justice McAdam Of the city court. There is no
end to his practical Joking. Like all pracf ical
jokers, he occasionally, however. finds Il sles
turner, but he al ways submits with grlces al
urbanity. In the early part of the week the
chief justice invited some half dozen friends to
take dinner with him in q basement rest aurart
on Broadway. After dinner ended II rose from
the table, bat the lief justic5 ad not yet
finished his stories. Just listen to this story
bovA, he said, looking at bis watch
He told two or three stories ia rapid success
sion.
Tn re never was more boisterous apprecis-
tion of bis jokes. There was an incessant, I'M
CO ltrolled roar ali around. The cAi f Justice
thought tbs irrepressible mirth was the result
OF his funny stories, but all tnis ii ne practical
joker among tae guests was filling the overcoat
pockets Vt the unsuspecting narrator with th,.
rem ANTS Of the feast Then followed the salt
ce lars, the contents of the cruet stand, goblets
milk pitchers, knives, forks Spoons, nap in ;,
and, in fact. Wholesale denudiag of the table
down to the tablecloth.
1t was amusing to see the chief Justice hurry
away to eaten his Yonkers train. He went
away from that feast loaded. All laughed the
louder as they babe him good-day, in anticipa-
ton of his discontinue at the discovery. de
was not 10 the least discounted, as he after
ward explai ed, but laughed all the way to
Yonkers. A note from the chief Istce and a
messenger were speedily dispatched to the
restaurant keeper, to ex ,Iiain the cause of the
disappearance of the table appointments and
to restore them.

Shall We Fave an Honest census9

Shall We Fave an Honest Census?
Wa { kind OF census is Supt. Porter
going to give usl Will it be non-partisan,
and will IL give as correctly as possible the
population of the country?
When Mr.. Porter was appointed superin-
tendent Of the cen US. it was char sed by
some ne sspaDers That, being a strong
republican and a stro lg protectionist, he
", uld mo key with the facts concerning
the industries of the country-t at is. he
would do all he could to make it appear
that high protection was the foundation
stone of the country's industrial progress,
and that to discontinue the high tariff
system would be to strike deadly blow to
tae industries, and to thro out Of employ
ment thousands of worldngmen.
1t IS now asserted upon what is said TO be
high authority that orders viii be issued to
census enum-rators il the south to omit, as
far as possible, the COUNT g of colored PEG
pie In this secti m.
Both of these schemes, il carried out,
would help the Republican party. That
party is committed to high protection, and
IL it can be ma ie to appear that high pro-
tee ION should be CO Itinued, the Democ attic
party, which is committed to tariff reform,
would be injured. With regard to the
pop llation of the south, it is ha dly neces-
ry to say that our representa- IN in con-
gress and Ia the electo al college is based
upon population, that to omit the counting
of tho sands of southern colored people
would decreaSe:tnis re presentation. and that,
as the south is largely de nocratic in con-
gress and may be depended upon to be sol
idly democratic in presidential elections, a
decrease of representation from this section
would weaken the Democra ic party.
Is Supt. Porter ling to lend himself to
such outrageous sclem as those mentioned
above to psrpetu .te the Republican party
in pc era No doubt there are republicans
who would be willing to see these schemes
carried out, and who would gladly accept
the political benefits to themselves as repub-
lie ms GO G out of them. Party leaders
who would not hesitate to count in Pres
ldent by fraud, and who elieve that the
proper way to carry an election is to buy
votes, would hardly object to the consum-
nation OF such schemes 70 help the party
as the census bureau is charged with ha ing
in view. The que ton is this: Is Sup
Porter an honest man, or is he dis lonest
paliticlan2 If he is an honest man, he will
give the people hoaes census.

Sunday LIQUOR selling.

A week ago to-day Savannah had her
usual Sunday shooting, because OF Sunday
liquor selling. One man is laid up from a
pistol shot. and another is in Jail, living at
the expense Of the sober, w-abiding citi-
zens, and. if brought TO tri ], he will cos,
the taxpayers a still larger sum Of money
in court expenses, whether he is fou ID
guilty or not guilty.
With the constant recurrence OF such
affairs in this city it is a wonder that sun
day liquor selling is per tilted to be contin-
ued. There never was a pc iod in the
history Of the city when it was more I'M
portant that the authorities should rigidly
enforce TIE Sunday law, and at those
laws are not enforced Is a refe ton upon
those into whose hands have been intrustet
he government Of the city. In no other
city in the state is the law against relling
liquor on Sunday so flagrantly vi lated.
and yet we are told that we have the
best police force Of any city
within the boundaries of the
commonwealth There are duties incum-
bent upon men who seek and hold public
Office, but the mere catering to { influence
of those who are supposed to command
votes at elections is not one u them. The
wishes Of the better class Of people are en-
titled to considerable J., and when their
claims are not recognized they should show
in an unmistakable way that they will
not uphold those who disregard their
rights and the laws which such public
servants have sworn to support. 1t is time
for the law-abiding people Of Savann III t.
take thi, Sunday liquor selling in hand, and
TO demonstrate to the violators Of the laws
that there Is latent power by which they
eau be made TO obey the laws.
1t is in no Puritsnical spirit that the
MORNING NEWS urges the enforcement of
the Sunday liquor laws, but it is because by
their enforcement the physical as well as
the moral well-being of the community
would be protected and prom tied that 1T
calls attention to a state of affairs which
should not be permitted to continue another
day.

Two Gray-haired Jumpers.

ing a rather novel jumping match winch was
in progress in the front yard. mdde-ased
man and his gray haired wife were the partici.
pants, aad the distance was measured off on
the walk that led from the house TO the gate.
The family was represented by a number OF
sons and daughters, who ranged themselves
alongside to see far play and cheer and ercour-
age the jumpers.
''1n bet on father" cried one of the girls.
Mother beat that tip1e," shouted a young
man
"Hu rahi Hurrahl" cried the family in
chorus.

The interest taken in educational matters
in the south is yearly increa ing. In the
past it has been the fashion among some
people to say that the south did not interest
itself sufficiently in such matters, and no
doubt most of those who said SO Thought
that they were right. The facts show.
however that the 80 18th has always been
alive to the importance of education, and
has done about as much in a financial way
to help the cause as could be expected.
careful calculation was made recently
to determine what the amount given TO
public scho Is in the south, if raised en-
tlrely by taxation, would be upon the 500
worth of property. and it was ascsrtained
that the average for the south would be
40 cents upon the 500. By states the
amount would be as follows: Arkansas 81
cents, Alabama "a cents, Florida 81 cents,
Georgia 81 cents, Keatu ky So cents,
louisiana 80 cents, Mississi pi 43 cents,
North Carolina "a cents, South Carolina SO
cents, Tennessee 50 cents, Texas 45 cents,
Virginia 43 cents.
Now, take the wealthy northern states of
Pennsylvania, New York Maine, Vermont,
and New Jersey. They have always b en-
abuEdantly able to provide generously for
their public schools, and they have done so,
but in Pennsylvania 80 cents upon tie 500
worth Of property, in New York IL cents,
in Maine As cents, in Vermont 40 cents, and
in New Jersey As cents, was given. 1t will
be seen that several Of the southern states
gave more fer public SC FOOLS in proportion
to their means than either New York or
Pc nsylvania-in fact, more in proportion
than any of the wealthy northern states
named.
Speaking of this matter, a southern news
paper says: when it is remembered that
tie southern psople came out of the civil
war in 1865 utterly impoverished, with all
their institutions DIES royed, with 40O0, 600
penniless and illiterate negroes turned loose
upon them as citizens and political equals,
sharing all the benefits of citiz suship with
out performing any of its duties, and par
ticularly paving no taxes for the support of
the public administration, the progress the
south has made in providing for free
education ought to excite the admiration
of all truly patriotic and philant aropic
people In the union. If ever any people
have performed their duty up to the fullest
extent of their ability in educational work,
the while people of the south have
done theirs" The south. however, is not
satisfied with this rec 1rd, as creditable as
it is. The appropriations for educational
purposes in the south are increased in pro-
portion to the / crease of wealth in this
section, and it may be said that when the
southern states become as wealthy as the
northern ones, as they will some day, they
will do much more for education than the
north.
1t wall be noticed that Georgia has given
less upon the 800 worth of property than
the OF er southern states. Tne state has
recently made an increased appropriation,
however, and 1t will do still more as soon
as it can.

The Philadelphia Press saws: "It is
strange that the Virginia democracy should
urge against Gen. Malone, the re publican
candidate for governor. that he fought in
the confederate army" The Virgin q demo
Gratis are not doing anythiA g of the kind.
They are remarking, however, upon the
flercenes5 with which the republicans attack

was one.
