BOX RENTS.

There is matter to which we would call
the attention of the public, and suggest
that somebody take the initiative towards
correcting what all must concede to be a
wrong. We refer to the price asked for
box rents in the postofllce. The customary
charge throughout the east is 50 cents a
quarter, and that is sufficient. Here the
rental is S1.5O. We don't know how
many boxes are rented in the local
office, but the number must be
in the neighborhood of nine hun
dred; thus our business men are pay
ing between 5000 and $1,000 a year for
what ought not to cost them more than
$500. Is it not worth an effort to make
this saving! II is thought that if proper
representations shall be babe to
the department the rentals will
be reduced to a reasonable figure.
There is excellent ground upon which
TO make the request. The postofice
is given to the government rent free, the
use of land and building worth perhaps
$4,000, costing the department nothing. In
addition TO this citizens have generously
fitted up the Office at an expense of prob
ably $4,000. These very boxes were paid
for and are owned by private parties, and
no charge for their use is made against the
government, although the latter EFFORTS a
rental of half a dollar a month for each of
these boxes. We submit that this is all
wrong. aud we do not doubt that it can be
righted if anybody will take the trouble to
forward a petition requesting reduction

LITERATURE.
Harper's Magazine.

Not only all theatre goers, but all persons
interested in literature and dramatic art,
will be pleased to learn that Dr. Charles
Waldstein will contribute to the April mum
Der of Hdrper's Magazine a comprehensive
and appreciative article on ''The Court
Theatre of Meiningen." 1t will be remem-
bered that it was the Meiningen company
who in series of performances in London
few years ago, opened the eyes of the
English people to new principle of dram
attic representation, and convinced many
persons of the desirability of some radical
reforms in stage management. Dr. Wald-
STEMS article will be enriched by q number
of illustrations, the Duke of Meiningen, to
whom the excellence of the court theatre is
entirely due, having contributed some of
his own drawings for that purpose.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
A Member Who Takes Exceptions to the
Abuse OF the Morning Crank.

Thomas H. Crispin, member of the Sal
walton Army, says: "There are repeatedly
untrue and misleading statements in the
Tribune respecting the Salvation Army. In
a late issue it states that the army paraded
Main street about twenty strong taking up
the whole sidewalk, and in consequence,
several lady pedestrians were compelled to
walk in the street Now, as matter of
fact, there were only seven in the army
ranks in that nights march, and they did
not walk on the sidewalk at all on Main
street, but from Commercial street, in con-
sequence OF the mud, which is not yet dried
up on the south side of First South, and no
crossing being there they took the sidewalk
from there to Main, walking as near the
street, as possible. On Main they took the
street, as also they did on Second South,
taking the sidewalk again on Commercial
street, when an officer rushed at the drum
mer, pushing him with main force on to the
street and as a spectator declares he ex-
pected to see the drummer land in the mud

THE PEOPLES devoted masters, the city
council, have now the impudence to in
form the public that they have no idea of
putting up the joint building, and that they
propose, moreover, to sell the city hall
corner and the Warm Springs. 1t seems a
pity that there are not just few more
methods by which the council could show
its contempt for its dupes by tweaking the
public nose in still other ways.

THE DUTY of the Democracy in Congress
will be to furnish more revenue. This can
be done by reducing the tariff in such way
as to increase importations by reason of
lower prices. The more nearly protective
tariff is, the less revenue it yields. The
Democrats will have to collect more rev.
enue to meet the impending deficit caused
by Republican extravaganza; but they will
have to raise the increased revenue in such
way as to tighten and not to increase the
burdens Of the people.

THERE Is great hope for the Democracy
in the fact that the four doubtful states
New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Con
necticut-have each ballot reform law
that provides secret ballot. AS the secret
ballot has heretofore always resulted ia

cans are welcome to such consolation as
they can get out of the fact that three
typical Republican states-Maine New
Hampshire and Pennsylvania-have re-
fused to adopt the secret ballot.

Play Yards for Children.

AS the newspapers are now calling
the attention of the public to the ne
cessity of taking the children of the
poor out of the moral contagion of the
streets, now their only play ground,
and giving them yards where they can
breathe free air, romp and play inno-
cent hearty games, a description OF
just such play ground already in ex-
istence in New York City will certainly
be interesting. Prompted, as has been
the present movement, by the admira
BILE example of Boston, where there are
nearly twenty such yards, two ladies
in a private. quiet away interested
some of New York's generous and
wealthy people, and small beginning
was made during the summer. On
Fiftieth street, west of Eleventh ave
nue., yard 50x100 feet was obtained
and fitted up. Several loads of sand
were brought and heaped in one great
pile, which the children quickly scat
tered over the entire place; two large
swings and four small ones were hung
several see-saws were provided, as
we'll as horizontal ladders and parallel
bars. Besides these small wheeIbar-
rows were bought by the dozen, as
well as small shovels and pals, wooden
building blocks, quoits, drum and
flags. When thus equipped with
everything to give the children a
chance for happy, active play, the
yard was opened early in July.
Had it not been pitiful, it would have
been amusing, the scene there on the
first day. The day before a few chill
dren, met in the street, had been told
that a playground would be ready
there. and the ladies in charge expect
ed to see about a hundred children
instead of that about five hundred be-
sieged the gate and swarmed in the
street clamoring to be let in.
There was evidently need for the
place, and the delight in it has never
tagged; rather the number of chill
dren has increased, if anything, aver.
aging about three hundred different
ones a day; but by dividing them into
sets of little ones, big girls and big
boys, all have q chance to come in
their turn. During the summer two
care-takers, or teachers" as the chill
dren call them, had charge in the
morning from 8 to II, another looked
after the big girls from l to 3. two
more took the afternoon children, and
the janitor had charge of the big boys
from 3 till dark. Thus the good work
went on from morning till night, i
"Work" it can be called. What the
teachers have to do is to settle the
many little disputes that arise when.
ever children play together, see that
all have their rights at the swings
their greatest delight. take care that
none get hurt, and help those who are
timid or do not know how to play, fol
it is pathetic to see that some of these
children do not know what play is.

In the matter of rapid transit, New
York might learn much from a con-
sideration of the new underground line
that has just been put into oper-
alton in London. The line is only three
miles in length, but the best English
engineering authorities consider that
the system is destined to revolution
lie the whole plan of metropolitan rail-
way construction. A shaft fifty or
sixty feet deep was sunk, and from this
two tunnels were dug out and lined
with circular iron plates. Inside these
tunnels the trains are run by an electric
motor. Electric lighting, elevators
from the street down to thelevel of the
tunnel, a single rate of fare and other
arrangements very much after the man
ner of our elevated roads complete
the system. The cost of the work was
very heavy, but there is general belief
that the patronage will make it pay
ing enterprise.

THE action of the United States Ex-
press Company in refusing to carry
money or transact any business for lot
terry organizations is to be heartily
commended. It will probably entirely
close up the Louisiana lottery except
in the State where this institution has
its home. 1t is quite certain now that
the lottery cannot secure a renewal of
its charter, which expires in 1892.
Since the United States anti-lottery
law has gone into effect the lottery
managers cannot afford the large sums
that they not long ago offered for the re-
newal of their charter. The Mexican
lotteries have until lately been doing a
a great business in the Southwest, but
with no means of getting communica-
tons before the public or money from
it, their opportunities in this country
must come to close.

A Perfect Wife.

Edmund Burke thus describes a per
feet wife: "She is handsome, but it is
beauty arising not from features, com
p1exion or from shape. She has all
three in high degree, but it is not by
these she touches a heart; it is all that
sweetness of temper, benevolence, in
nocence and sensibility which face
can express that forms her beauty.
| She has face that just raises your at
tention at first sight; it grows on you
every moment, and you wonder it
did no more than raise your attention
at first. Her eyes have a mild light,
but they awe when she p1eases; they
| command like a good man out of Office,
not by authority but by virtue. Her
stature is not tall; she is not made to
be the admiration of everybody, but
the happiness of one. She has all the
irmness that does not exclude delicacy
she has all the softness that does not
imply weakness. Her voice is a soft,
low music, not formed to rule in pub
lie assemblies, but to charm those who
can distinguish company from crowd

does not display it so much in saying
or doing striking things as In avoiding
such as she ought not to say or do. No
person of so few years can know the
world better; no person was ever less
corrupted by the knowledge. Her po-
likeness flows rather from a natural
disposition to oblige than from any
rules on the subject, and therefore
never fails TO strike those who under
stand good breeding and those who do
not. She has steady and firm mind,
which takes no more from the deIicacv
