NEW York citizens have organ.
lied to save that city from the
despotic political rule Of Tammany.
Such movement ought to receive
the hearty approval and earnest en-
couragement of men everywhere
who believe in good and honest
government. New York city has
long been the center of political
rascahty and corruption, exerting q
more demoralizing ana deteriorating
influence upon political affairs gen.
orally, aud doing more to weaken
public regard for integrity in NUM-
cipal administration than any other
portion of the country, or all the
rest. Ever since the days of Tweed
the example Of the ruling politicians
OF that city has been of a kind to
encourage the growth of ell that is
immoral, base and corrupt in poll
tic.

EXTREME or false economy is as
disastrous to the intentions Of good
government IS the extreme in the
other direction. Not day passes
but the eastern congressman raise q
howl about some appropriation
asked for a western improvement,
aud nearly every item in the general
appropriations bill is reduced by
the watch dogs of the treasury"
until the object for which the appro.
priation is made cannot be accom-
plished. In land matters does this
false economy become most pro-
nounced and the necessary sums
are squeezed to an almost useless
contribution. In few more years
the representatives Of western in.
terests will discover that there ia
such thing as "retaliatory" voting.
Ii would be o good thing if it was
discovered at once.

III is amusing to read the news
papers regarding the census lately
taken. The count has been made
and the cities and towns generally
with the exception of Annapolis,
hare been informed very nearly as
TO their population. Remarkable IS
il Is, net . newspaper is willing TO
admit that the count was correctly
made; all are emphatic in saying
that a considerable percentage of
the people were missed, and oil
complain that their respective cities
have been sighted more than others.
Way down in New England, even,
il great incraase is not shown, the
enumerators ore denounced az
enemies to the communities, when
i il known that everybody leaves
New England as early in life as he
feels able 20 wTestle with the world.
The newspapers would convey the
impression that every town has been
indnlging in : boom during the past
ten years, and the enumerators
entered into conspiracy to belittle
the facts and make . disparaging
showing before the world. Our
sister city Baltimore il crying ont
fraud, and insisting on . recount.
She believes that large portion Of
her citizens we're sandWitched over
the berry fields and pea patches Of
Anne Arundel. Anything for m
excnse bit Jon can't catch up.

British capital finds the United

fellow without fortune or prospects.
and still worse, without particular IN

Achles was bright and pleasingly
humorous he told amusing stories in a
lazy sort of way, which WAS Of itself at
tractive, and the old MAJOR was exceed.
ingly friendly toward him until Blck-
les one day began to speak of Zalle,-
He told the old Major Of hi. great love
for her. The old man turned upon him
with fury.
Why, conlound Your impudent hide,
