What Boston policeman could not do
on Sunday with the aid of a revolver, a
bulldog recently accomplished by the aid
of his ferocious countenance. A thief
was fleeing from the policeman, regard
less of the revolver bullets, when the
bulldog joined in the chase. The thief at
once took refuge in a wagon, where he
was kent by the dog until the policeman
came up. The thief said afterward that
he didn't care anything about the bullets,
but he did respect the dogs jaws.-Phila-

The Farmers Vidette says that
other classes will not have to be
taxed to build warehouses and to
maintain the sub-treasury scheme
because the governmentalready has
the money needed, or can print it
without cost to anybody. Such a
refuge. in argument may very prop
erly be called a .subterfuge. Every
dollar spent by the government is
contributed by tax payers, either at
the time of issue or at the time Of
redemption. Money in the national
treasury was put there by all classes
of the people, and money printed
by the government constitutes an
obligation for which everybody is
held responsible until final pay
ment. Baton Rouge Advocate.
If the generally accepted state
ment is true there is now no sur
plus in the U. 8. treasury, and as 9
consequence the people (every.
body } will have to be taxed to create
another surplus to build sub-treas-
ury warehouses.

Our Washington correspondent
says that the Z. s. treasury de-
partment has notified the claim
agents that all payments under the
direct tax act will be made to the
States in trust for citizens thereof
from whom they were collected,
and that no one will be allowed to
examine the direct tax records of
the department unless authorized
by one of the States to do SO. This
is black eye to the fraternity of
claim agents, but it would be safe
to bet that copies of the depart
ment records were in possession of
favored individuals before the order
was issued.

The outbreak in New Orleans on
last Saturday again brings into
notice the ineficiency of our pres
ent jury system. Various changes
in the system are proposed, but in
our opinion a very slight change is
all that is necessary. To do away
with the requirement for a unani-
nous verdict, and allow the finding
of ten men to rule in q jury Of
twelve, would be q most effectual
remedy for most of the trouble.
Then the abrogation of the right to
reject jurors and talesmen on &C
count of previous knowledge OF
opinion of a crime, would about
complete the alterations necessary
to render the present jury system
effective.

The Governor Cornered.

A few days since, in the course
of an ordinary conversation in
jected into q semi-offcial consul
tation, in reply to query as to his
position and an intimation that at
least two prominent lottery men
had put out ''feelers" anent the
next State canvass, Gov. Nichols
saw fit to announce that he did not
desire to take any part in such
discussion, and that he considered
himself as entirely out of another
canvass. The subject being sub
sequently referred to in his pres
ence, he simply stated that his sole
desire was to conscientiously dis
charge his duties, which did not
in the least consist in training for
future preferment, for which he
positively had no desire and de-
cidedly preferred his ordinary citi-
zenship. This is the substance,
and we believe almost the words
the governor used. We repeat the
matter here, for the reason that
some would-be facetious editors
pretend to believe that the govern
or has been placed in the attitude
of refusing the nomination before
it vas rendered. Onr brethren OF
the press ought to be able to under
stand reportorial enterprise when
they see it, and, because we had
the cheek to beard the lion in his
den, not discover a mares nest
when there is none. To say the
least of it, the governor was as
dignifed and modest in his en-
deavor to get out of close place
as most mortals would be under
the same circumstances.
