N. W. Aver Il Sons. Philadelphia,
great American Newspaper Annual for
1891, is before us, anu it is the COM
pielest. the fullest, the largest and
the best that that enterprising Iirn has
ever published. The Annual makes no
vain nretensions. hut is exactly what
it aims to be. descriptive list of the
newspaper press, n gazetteer OF tho
places in which papers arc published
and guide to the Intelligent placing
OF general and special advertising.
Truo, it contains 400 pages, but the
matter it contains is SO useful to the
business public that it is hard to soc
how it could hnye been condensed into
Smaller compass.
Thd Annual contains the name and
location OF every paper, magazine and
periodical published in the United
States aud Canada. This groat collec-
ton embraces religious. agricultural.
college, educational. medical, sclenti-
iic, mechanical. political. secret socie-
ty, trade and miscellaneous publica-
tons The publications are made by
States, by counties. and by towns. A

this book is only $500.

There seems to be fixed determi-
nation on the part of the Democratic
leaders and the organs OF the party
not to permit the real object for
which the Levy Court investigation
was entered upon to be properly un-
derstood by tho people and not to
let t1em understand that the investi-
cation was commenced for tho pur-
poss OF recovering certain moneys
from ex.tox Collectors George w.
Mckee and John ]. Dougherty which
they had collected in taxes due tho
county and which they had not paid
over to the county treasurer.
Our Democratic friends still treat
the matter rs Il the committee should
have made the Investigation on crImi-
nal basis, ys il somebody hal been
hribed, or rs il fra intent tax receipts
had been issued. Their party has been
so accusb 5ned to carrying Jurisdictions
by means of Fraudulent Tux receipts,
they cannot imagine that any other
party could possibly pursue any other
course than they pursued and keep mp
the fraud racket Ia retaliation. They
do not seem to have the slightest idea
that any political purity could or
would lie more honest than their OWN,
and hence they are determined not to
believe that tho Republicans acted
honestly in paying the taxes Of 1868 of
I or poll tax blrs, taking regular
bonailde receipts for each individual
whose tax they paid. II tho Demo-
Gratis had acted in the same honest
