The reporter OF the Philadelphia
Inquirer who enacted the part OF a
lunatic for the purpose of being con-
fined In the Philadelphia Hospital for
the Insane, and seeing for himself
how these unforiunates were treated
by their keepers, is hero, and de.
serving of the greatest praise. For q
whole week this young man took the
character Of a lunatic so well that he
deceived even the most expert physi
clans of the Institution, who pro-
nounced him ''as crazy as loon.
There was, however, a method in his
madness, and that method was to tear
aside the veil and expose to all the
manner in which these poor unlor-
Inmates are treated by their brutal
keepers. II there were a few more
such reporters there is no doubt but
many an outrage, which is committed
within prison walls and the wards of
lunatic asylums, would be exposed,
but still there are not many men who
have the courage to undergo u weeks
voluntary confinement in Jail or in
the ward Of lunatic asylum.

At last, when the patience of the

are ready to receive the taxes, at least

The result OF the case OF G. Brooks
Foster vs.. the Mayor and Council of
Wilmington, is another illustration of
the folly of electing men to attend to
the business of the city, who II IS pro-
bable are not able to attend to their
own. There Ia no doubt but Foster
had valid claim against the city,
which however, he offered to COM
promise for $75, and there is no doubt
he would have settled for even less
than that amount. Those whose bust.
ness 1t is TO attend to the business of
the city refused to listen to any COM
promise and the consequence is the
city has to pay Foster $l09.75 in add.
ton to the costs, and the fee to an at
torney, employed TO assist the City So
hcitor. The city now has about four
times as much money to pay as would
have been the case had the matter been
compromised. Unfortunately this
money does not come out of the
pockets of the members OF Council who
have engineered this matter, but out
OF those OF the taxpayers who somG
day win become tired of having their
business transacted in this manner.

The advocates of prohibition have
always commended that the law is a
success in Iowa, and have pointed to
that State as an example that prohibit
tion can be enforced, but the return of
the Internal Revenue Collector for
forty nine counties shows something
different. His statements cannot be
refutsd or contradicted, as he not only
has the figures to bear them out, but
has also paid the money which he re-
ceived to the Government. The col
lector reports that he has issued retail
Government liquor licenses In every
town of 300, or more population.
According TO the records Of the col.
lector there are more places where
liquor is now sold Iowa than there
were before the prohibitory law went
into effect. 1t is not probable that
people will pay $50 for Government
license Just for the fun Of having one
around, and as the collector has, dur
ing the year Issued more than evel
before, It looks as though prohibition
docs not prohibit.

II the tax collectors should succeed
In disfranchising number Of our citi-
gems at the coming city election 1t
should act as an incentive to urge them
on TO pay their tax at as early day as
possible, so that they will not be re-
turned as errors next March. If tax
Is paid this year it will entitle the
holder Of the receipt to vote at the
State election In November, 1890, and
this is a hundred times more inn
portant than the city election. The
tax collectors have their day now, and
they hope by keeping Republicans
from paying their tax in time 10 regis
ter and vote at the June Election thai
they will become careless, and neglect
paying afterwards, SO that they car
return them as errors next March, anC
thus keep them from voting in No
yember. 1t is, however, TO be hoped
that the Republicans will not permi
themselves to be caught in this verl
evident trap which is set for them.

TEN CENTS A BUsHEL FOR PEARLS.
The Craze in Wisconsin Likely to Subside, as
the Jewels Are Valueless.

the Jewels Are Valueless.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
A rusty-looking old hayseed from the
vicinity of Sugar creek, where the pearl
craze has been rampant for a week and
half, walked into Stanley & Camps
jewelry store Saturday. In one hand he
tightly clutched red bandana handker-
chief tied in bundle and the other held
a knotted hickory stick. His trousers
were tucked into pair of boots that had
aseen better days, and his general ap-
pearance was that of man who wasn't
over particular about his personal ap-
pearanoe He looked suspicIously around
as though anticipating that some one had
evil intentions with regard to himself,
and then he slowly united the knots in
the handkerchief, unfolded it on the
showcase and displayed a good-sized
handful of pearls.
''What III We gimme for emp querIed
the stranger, addressing Mr.. Camp.
There were large pearls and small
pearls, white pearls and yellow pearls
and pearls Of all kinds of shape. Some
were as big as an ordinary pea and some
were only one-fifth that size, but they
were undoubtedly pearls.
"Where did you get them?' the pearl
gatheTer was asked.
"Out of the oysters in Sugar cretk,
down near Albany he responded.
"Found them myself and walked all the
way in, too. 1 WASH It going to have any
train robber hold me up after going to
the trouble of wading in the river and
picking up the clam shells. Not much. -
There CHANGED TO be a New York dia-
y1Os,I i'm in gfOTa eyOaTf in
judging the value of precious gems, and
he took up the handful of pearls and ex-
amined them carefully.
'They are not worth 10 cents
busheI, - said he; as he carelessly al
lowed them to sift through his fingers.
'FThey are genuine pearls, nd some of
them have a good, creamy color, but
their commercial value is spoiled by theft
lack of rouudness. You see there ism It
perfect spheroid in the whole lot. They
resemble in shape the shell of a snail.
Such pearls haYe no market value.
"'But they are all that way down
around SUGAR creek, persisted the old
man, who looked disappointed and at the
same time seemed suspicious that he was
being fooled.
'eThen they are all worth just about
ten cents a bushel. Their shape spoils
them. 1 on can Z CUT pearl the way
you can q diamond When you cut it
you spoil it, because a pearl is formed of
layers Of secretion, and when you at
tempt to cut it the seams show and rum

pearls found in Sugar river clans, but 1
doubt IT. -

a hard knot and went in quest of an
other jeweleT.
