Many thousands of collars were paid to
the city last week by city politicians for
the privilege of "scOw trimming" or of
raking and picking over the garbage of
the city as it is dumped by the cart load
on scows, which carry it out to sea. The
men who first undertook the work of
hauling, dumping and evening up the
scow loads for the right of keeping any
thing they found, got a deal of misplaced
sympathy, because the work is nasty.
These men were Italians. The valuable
nature of the work was soon seen by the
politician, aud he obtained it by bid.
Year by year the price has risen, until
now one contractor who has secured
the privileges at all the garbage dumps
of the city, pays $1,000 month into the

That civilization is making vast ad-
vances is shown by device adopted by
a swell, uptown resort. This is a sort of
local post-office, consisting of private
boxes, in which no letters are placed, but
where the free delivery system prevails
The boxes will each hold bottle of
liquor and box of cigars. The boxes are
rented to persons who purchase their
rum at the place. The scheme does away
with the ar-tender and drink mixer. A
box renter marches into the place, pro-
duces his key, and drinks and treats at
his pleasure, embarrassed by the interven-
ton of white-aproned waters, or the ne
cessity of putting his hand into his poek
ct for change.

A Chimney ApIary.


Martin Williams of Kittery Point was
the owner of swarm of bees last spring.
which left his premises and swarmed on
limb of an apple tree at Capt Joseph PHIL
lips place on Lenney's hill. After while
they got tired of this place, and went to an
unused chimney In John A. Phillips house.
short distance away. Here they built
comb and went to work making honey.
One day last week it became necessary to
clean out the chimney, and the bees were
smoked out by the use of tobacco; several
bricks were removed from the chimney on
the second floor and peck of supplied bees
was. scooped out; also large amount of
comb and sixty pounds Of honey. Daring
the season these bees made themselves at
home around the family circle, much to the
disgust of the two legged members; every
evening when it became necessary to light
the lamps, they would come down the
chimney in sections, drive the people cut
Of doors, and finally finding no one to light
upon, commit suicide by sticking them
selves on the sticky fly paper.

The report that the President will recon-
mend in his message to Congress an appro-
priation for the payment of an indemnity
for the killing of the Italian subjects by
the New Orleans lynchers is creditable to
the administration. Our attitude in that
case has not been altogether to our credit
In the eyes Of European governments, and
1t makes little difference that it has been
the result not of indisposition to accord
Italy satisfaction but of inability to do so.
We could not guarantee the prosecution of
the lynchers because the affair was entirely
within the jurisdiction of the State of
Louisiana and under our constitution the
national government had no right nor
power to interfere. But Congress can ~
1t sees fit, vote sum of money as an in
demnity to the families of the Italians who
were killed, and this under all the circum-
stances Of the case it would seem that II
ought to do. 1t will be remembered that
the men who were hanged had never been
convicted by jury and therefore in the
eyes of the law were innocent men. 1t has
appeared too since the affair that the sus-
picion that the jury had been bribed was
unfounded. The case then as 1t now pre-
sents itself is this: Two Italian subjects
who had not been convicted Of any crime
were put to death by mob, aud therefore
without due process of law. That the mob
suspected them of crime and perhaps with
good reason has nothing TO 90 with the
legai aspect OF the case. Had the affair
happened In the District of Columbia n
would have been the duty of our national
government to prosecute the lynchers. to
apologize to Italy and to award to the fam
ines OF the deceased pecuniary iudem-
nifty. Happening 10 the state of Louisiana
we are debarred from prosecuting the lynch-
ers' Out we can award an indemnity. and
this we should do If the facts are as have
been currently reported.

Despite Fonseca's assertions to the con-
trary 1t becomes more and more evident
daily that the revolt against him is serious
and widespread, and that if he succeeds in
suppressing it it will only be after PIC
longed and severe struggle. Brazil covers
very great extent of country, and commu-
nlcation between the States is slow and
difficult. Troops cannot be moved rapidly,
and besides the loyalty of the army can
not be relied upon. The revolt against
Dom Pedro soon spread to the army, IL it
did not originate there. and Fonseca is liza

Its a very glad incident of the marvellous

Australian ballot. Now the facts upon
which this paragraph Is rounded are
these: In O certain Massachusetts town a
large number of ballots were found with
| a cross marked against the name of Rus
sell and another cross marked against the
name of Allen. The effect of these two
crosses was to render 1t impossible to tell
whom the voter intended to vote for. and
consequently the ballots had to be thrown
out. There were SO many Of these donblv
marked ballots that it appeared unreason.
able to suppose that they could have all
been the result of the carelessness of tho
voters, and suspicion was aroused that
some one of the men who counted tho
votes had deliberately inserted one of the
crosses In order to compel the throwins
out Oh the ballots. Now it is quite evident
that If there are under the present arrange
menus for counting opportunities for a
person to alter the ballot by adding a cross
or erating a cross, those arrangements
should be changed so as to guard against
such possibility. That certainly can
easily be done. But the facts of this Massa.
ehusetts case, If they be facts, have not the
slightest tendency to discredit the nr,nc,-
pies OF the Australian ballot. The mostthav
do is to show that some of the machinerv
OF the existing law is defective and needs

is entirely proof against laundering or ras.
cality. The count out of 1879 in this state
showed that under the then existing meth.
cd OF voting it was very easy to falsifv the
result, when the officials were dishonest
But nobody blamed the system. Though
there was perfect picnic of corruption -
The public wrath was poured out upon the
rascals. Nobody has ever pronounced the
Australian system panacea for all cleo
tion evils. The opponents of it are accus-
toned to so represent, because it makes it
more easy to discredit it. Its friends
claim that it is better method than the
old one. that it affords fewer facilities
Tor bribery and intimidation, and that it
enables the voter to more freely and more
correctly express his opinion.

Very likely If called upon today to ex-
press his views upon the tariff, he would
not be quite so frank as he was in his
Minneapolis speech, but it by no means
follows that at heart he is any less of
