THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.

Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village blacksmith stands,
And in a trimming basin he
Would wash his brawny hands;
But something else than water clean
His sooty palm demands.

night.
He might have rubbed, l trow.

OF IVORY SOAP, when, 10!
Full soon those honest hands of his
We're spotless as the snow.

SAVINGS BANKS WITHOUT CAPITAL.

Senator Delamater has introduced a bill
modelled on the New York law for the incor-
poration and regulation of savings banks
without capital stock. This, it is said BY
the Philadelphia Times, is calculated to
make ''the savings bank interest of Penn
sylvania bear some proportion to the same
interests in New York and New England
Considering that we already have promi-
nent examples of the savings banks without
capital stock in the State, it is rather diff
cult to see how new legislation would create
any especial boom in the savings bank bust
ness. The fact that one of this class in
Plttsburg is our largest and most successful
financial institution does not weaken its
anomalous character in being an institution
whose surplus and profits belong to nobody,
and whose business for the first few years of
its operation was done without any guaran-
tee fund to the depositors in case the assets
should have become impaired. The stability
Of al institution on a basis like that, must
be seen to flow from good management, not
from the form of organization; and the

OPPOSED 10 DEGRADATION.

The objection of the Providence Journal
to Nh. Samuel Gompers' advocacy of the
plan of employing c~onvicts to work on the
highways, that organized labor has al
ready condemned the convicts to enforced
idlenesS and would now substitute for it
public degradation, " carries the implication
that no work at all must be done on the
highways. If it is degradation for convicts
70 work on the highways, it must be degra-
dation for honest labor to do it; and Ger
tainly our contemporary would not expect
tree labor to do that which it considers too
degrading for convicts. Or does it hold
that the only labor which legislation should
take care to keep clear and unsoiled by the
degradation" of hard and useful work is
that of the men who have committed crimes?
A great deal of the nonsense and false senti-
ment that exists in society to-day will be
abolished when people are intelligent
enough to perceive that the degradation
consists in committing crime, and not in the
honest expiration for it, even in public.

A Taxpayers Perplexity.

10 the Editor OF Inc DlSpatch:
How am 1 assessed? According to the assess
ment made by the county the valuation of my
property in the Third ward, Pittsburg, is 6625
per cent of the valuation put upon it by the
city. In the Fifth ward it is 6S per cent and in
the Seventh ward los per cent of the city valu-
alton. In view of the above ass essed valua-
lions for the county, will the county taxes be
equally and informally levied for the year
1889? And further, when we consider that the
assessed valuations as compared with those Of
1883 have been largely increased, if the tax
will be equally and informally levied l fail to
see it.
In the Third ward, Pittsburg, my assessed
valuation for 1888 was S12, 000, when the tax was
4 mills. making the county taxes on said prop
erty S4S. This year the assessed valuation of
the same property is raised to 1880, making
the county taxes SO, or SO more than last year.
buildings, ETC., in the county it is claimed by
the County Commissioners that the same tax
on the same property is sufficient to pay all the
county obligations for the coming year. 1t IS
also claimed by the County Commissioners that
the tax levy for 1889 will be 4 mills. Now in the
equitable to charge me more county taxes for
1889 than l paid in 1888? Again, what plea can
1 give to appeal from those valuations when
neither the valuations of 1888 or 1889 are whatthe
property is worth? If the valuation is in
creased the millage to raise the same amount
of money as in 1883 should be decreased to
make the tax equitable. The only proper plan
of valuation, therefore, should be for full cash
value OF the property, and tax all alike. 1t is
queer, and incomprehensible to me-, why taxes
should be creeping up all the time, while at the
same time the county and city are getting
Weather every year. Is 1t business-ike? Why

WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED!

Speaking of the attempt to lynch Frank
W. Pope at Madison, Fla, on Thursday
night, the New York Telegram editorially
says that it was not a reproach to the State
as such hotheads as these would-be lynchers,
intolerant of political differences where ac-
c~ompanied by active effort, are to be found
in every State" This makes it pertinent
for the Telegram to give a few instances Of
attempts to lynch men in the States north of
Mason and Dixon's line for the offense of
gathering evidence to aid a contest over an
election. If, as the Telegram asserts, these
would-be lynchers intolerant of political
differences" are to be found in every State,
it c~erra.nly should be able to produce ex-
amples of their operations, say in the States
of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois
or Iowa, When any such cases are produced
it will be also pertinent to point out that
they constitute a deep and decided reproach
to the State where they are committed.

FREE TO RESIGN.

In reply to some very sharp criticisms Of
Mr.. Bayard's rigid spinal column in dealing
with the Hayti business and his utter lack
of backbone when he is confronted with the
power of Germany, the New York Sun
says:
No part of this blame properly belongs to
the Secretary of State. He is not a free agent
in this matter, as his estimable organ the Balti.
more Sun has expressly declared. The Presl-
dent has peremptorily dictated the whole
policy of the State Department.; and all the
blame to be bestowed-and the quantity is not
limited-should be bestowed upon Mr.. Cleve-
land alone.
We are afraid that after our two esteemed
and luminous contemporaries get through de-
tending Mr.. Bsyard, he will appear in a less
favorable light than ever. 1t is true that
the President is responsible for the policy
of the State Department, whether he die
tates it or not; but that does not relieve the
Secretary from responsibility. 1t is bad
enough to suppose him so devoid of stamina
that he loses his head when Bismarck
growls; but it would be far worse to uppose
him capable of recognizing how weak and
inconsistent our foreign policy is, but also
capable of asserting to it in order to hang
on to bis Office.
Most certainly it is to be hoped that the
esteemed Suns underestimate Mr.. Bayard's
position as a free agent. If our foreign
policy cannot be manly and consistent, Mr..
Bayard ought to be free agent enough to re-
sign and let the country know why he
resigns.

NO LOVE FOR GINGERBREAD.
He Took a Dislike to it After His Coffin Was
Ordered.

From the New York Graphic.1
There have been many instances Of men or.
dering their coffins before death, sometimes
sleeping in them, sometimes keeping them as
articles of furniture, and oftenest slowing
them away in a garnet until needed. But one
of the Q~ueerest ornaments for a m~antlepiece is
In the possession of a young artist of this city,
and occupies a prominent place in his studio.
1t is about five inches by ten, and has the
owners name, birth and death recorded on its
face, 1t having been taken from his coffin when
he recovered from a trance, during which he
zane precious near being buried.
The circumstances which led to the trance
are as curious as the use of the coffin plate for
an ornament. He was studying art in Paris,
and his landlady was an enthusiastic ginger.
bread baker. One day returning from his
studies extremely tired, the artist found in his
room a large pan of gingerbread still warm
from the oven. 1t was tempting and he was
hungry. Piece after piece disappeared, and in
a few moments he sank into comfortable drow-
siness. When found the following morning he
was to all. appearances dead. Doctors were
summoned, but. one and all pronounced him
dead, giving as the cause everything from heart
disease to dyspepsia. His landlady. possibly
feeling a little guilty after observing the
amount of gingerbread her lodger had eaten,
refused to believe him dead. The French Gus
tom generally demands burial within 4S hours
of death. The coffin was ordered, his relatives
in this country cabled and all preparations for
the funeral consummated. The landlady. how
ever, was still i~ncredulous, and between the
time the body was placed in its coffin and its
removal to the grave she worked over the sup
posed dead man, chatting his hands and face
and rubbing the region of the heart.
Just as the bell sounded that denoted the ar
rival of the hearse she rubbed more rapidly
and was rewarded by a faint sigh. Quickly
she removed the body from the coffin and plac-
ing it on the bed continued her attempts at re-
suscitation. The rest followed naturally. The
young man revived, took his coffin plate off the
coffin and came home in the next steamer to
meet a family clad in the deepest mourning for
his death. The landlady forgot to say she had
cabled and he thought he'd wait and tell the
story at home.
The coffin plate now rests just below apict-
ure of Langtry and the young artist had a big
picture on exhibition in this city a few months
ago. He declares that he can never see or
smell ginger bread without experiencing the
most violent nervous attacks.

PROHIBITION.

The report that the monastery of st. Vim
cent is contemplating the abandonment of
its famous, though not very large brewery,
affords an example of Frank Murphy's
theory of "every man passing his own pro-
hibitory law" that furnishes q new feature
of the temperance agitation.
The bearing of such a step on the prohi-
bition question can be Dlade to act very
much according to individual views. Those
opposed to prohibition can say, as is quoted
in our correspondence, that it shows that
people can and will abstain or not both from
the use andmanufacture, as they choose. On
the other hand others, not necessarily from
among the fanatics, will be apt to think
that if the manufacture of pure beer, such
as cam from the mountain monastery, is
stopped, the manufacture of other kinds of
vinous and malt beverages might as well
stop with it.
Indeed, the announcement Of this posi-
bility will be likely to inspire a good many
lovers of the old monastery beer with a
desire for some sort of compromise by which
prohibition shall 60 into effect for the rest
of the State, but the production of st. Vim
cent beer shall go right on.

SALT WATER IN GAS WELLS.

The dispatch from Lima, which is pub
lished elsewhere, stating that the presence
of salt water in the oil and gas wells of
Northwestern Ohio is threatening the pro-
duction of these fields, shows that our hith-
erto successful rival is experiencing some
of the difficulties to which the Pennsyl-
vania fields nave been subject. Indeed, if
the telegram referred to does not exagger-
ate the matter, the Ohio fields are expe-
riencing the trouble at an earlier stage than
the Pennsylvania fields and it is more gen.
eral. For while some districts in this sec
ton have been choked off, the general sup
ply continues good and bids fair to do so
for wears to come.
Still, the fact that this fate seems to pur-
sue many of the gas producing wells,
whether in the Ohio or Pennsylvania dis
tricts, warns US to consider the possibility of
a time when it will be necessary to
augment the supply by manufactured
gas. Methods for the cheap manufac-
ture of fuel gas from ccal and petroleum
have been practically demonstrated before
this. In view of the possibilities, it may
yet be recognized that a main utility Of the
natural gas era is to show the economy, con-
venience and cleanliness of distributing
fuelin the gaseous form rather than in solid
and material shape. 1t now appears to be
pretty well settled that, as between coal and
gas, the former can be most cheaply trans
ported by rail and river for long distances;
but that when it comes to its distribution
and consumption in cities, the method of
turning it into gas and distributing it
through pipes makes a marked economy
over hauling it in wagons and the wasteful
and dirty methods of burning it in CRATES.
But the prospect of getting cheap fuel
gas in the future must comprise the exclu-
sion Of any attempts to monopolize either
the manufacture of the gas or its distribu-
ton through the pipes. If we cannot avoid
the vice to which our public enterprises are
prone in that respect, the hope Of cheap
fuel for towns like Lima, as we'll as Pittsburg,
will be wofully diminished by the influx of
salt water such as is reported at the former
place.

HOME STUDENT.
ALLEGHENY, February "a.
II. There are many reasons why such control
would be important, one of which will perhaps
suffice. In case of war between this nation
and some othef you can easily see that the
United States would be at a great disadvan-
tage if such a canal were in the hands of some
unfriendly power. Under such circumstances
this country would be unable to transport
troops or supplies by water to the Pacific coast
or from the Pacific coast eastward except by
the devious route via Cape Horn. With the
canal in our possession we could control the
movements of inter-oceanic and per-
nit only our own ships or those of friendly ma
lions to pass through. 2. If you had read THE
