The theory that the immigration of a
few million of foreigners within thirty
years is the true cause Of the municipal
evils in the United States must be rejected,
although the too quick admission to the
suffrage of men who have had no acquaint-
ance with free institutions has doubtless
increased the evils of city government in a
few localities. The great majority of the
immigrants have been serviceable people,
and of late years many OF them have had
a better education than the average rural
American can obtain. The experienced
voters Of the country cannot shelter them
selves behind the comparatively small con
tingent Of the inexperienced -President
Eliot in Forum.

In the cab of every locomotive on the
Pennsylvania railroad is a neat little tin
box, almost square, in which is packed
several necessary articles for use in emer-

necessary and humane precaution, and
every engine must be provided with one of
the boxes, which are all made after the
same pattern, and each of which contains
a piece of linen, a rubber compress. pack

twenty thus passing through loose shrub

stringing along in Indian file, IS is their
invariable custom. Kangaroos are won
derful jumpers, and sail over the highest
fences with perfect ease The wire fences
now so generally in use, however, seem to
puzzle them. and they will turn from these
distractions and follow then, for MILES In

to leap them. This peculiarly is also

4 Eebnlke to Arditf.

Signor Arditi, though very strict with
the orchestral players at rehearsals, once
when directing a Wagner programme
under the management Of the Brothers
Gatti, took a strange delight in getting up
conversations with those near him. During
4 by no means easy piece from Tristan
and Isolde" he chose as the recipient of his
utterances the late Mr.. Lockwood, the
harpist but that gentleman did not appear
particularly inclined to reply. at length,
in answer to an oft repeated question of
Signor Arditi's, he rose and said: Seven
please do not talk to me-eight-for can
not reply-nine-I've seventeen bars rest
tenor | shall null the whole thing"
Rereupon Signor Arditi made a very low
bow, and counted the remainder OF the
eventful seventeen bars with his neighbor.

Rendered a Remarkable Verdict.

An East Indian jury recently had charge
OF robbery case in which a number of
people, part of whom had confessed, were
implicated. The verdict was: You can
do what you like with the men that have
confessed, but we acquit all the rest" The
astonished judge asked them if they didn't
believe the evidence, and got for an an
swer: 'Unless a man owns up, who can
tell if he is guilty."

Differs With the Acknowledgement.

A short time ago, says the Argus,
Acknowledgement Spencer rendered an
opinion to the state auditor, who
sent it out in a circular to all the
county auditors, instructinglthem that the
former practice of county commissioners
rebating taxes for various reasons, was
illegal, and that reductions or attachments
could only be made by the equalization
board. Yesterday the petition of C.. Gard
ner for an abatement on account of an err
roneous assessment came before the board
of county commissioners here, and they
referred the matter to State Attorney Rose
for his opinion as to wether they would be
bound by the attorney-generaPs opinion as
stated in the state auditOrS'S circular.
Mr.. Rose gave his opinion verbally, the
effect being that with all Difference to the
attorney-general, he thought it absurd that
where the board knew that an assessment
was erroneous, they should be compelled
to put the county to the expense of defend
ing a suit in the district court, instead of
abating the taxes as formerly. He would
advise them in such a case to 60 ahead and
abate the erroneous tax.
This was accordingly done.

Crop Dangers yet to Face.

The Minneapolis Market Record sensi-
bly, remarks: The dangers that wheat
crops in this county have yet to face are
not light affairs. The promise to this time
has been estimated by the growth OF the
plant and straw. A vigorous growth of
straw is all right if not too rank, and if
there is dry cool weather when the grain
is filling. On the other hand it is liable to
be laid by storms or to rust from moisture.
Thin or light grain seldom ruStS, while
thick heavy grain seldom comes through
without suffering more or less from the
consequences of rust.
A growing crop is generally overrated
with heavy straw, and as generally under
rated with light straw. There is a posi-
bility that the wheat crop may 20 through
the harvest with as bright results as esti-
mated now; but the chances are against it,
with the probabilities strongly favoring
serious damage. Experience teaches that
a heavy, ran growth seldom produces full
plump kernels of grain. Minnesota has
oftener been damaged by rains than
drouth. Dakota has seldom been too wet
and has better prospects, Judged by the
past, than Minnesota, though rust did
much harm there once. to the crop of 1888.
1t was promising at this season of a large
yield but resulted in many parts IN flat
failure,

the shooting which tended to prove a MUIR
fell upon Ed. Herrick, the attorney for the
defendant. There was a great deal of
work which Mr.. Herrick did that did not
appear upon the surface of the case, but
which told immensely when the time came
for the verdict to be discussed by the jury.
He had uphill work to w the neck Of his
youthful client; persistent endeaver was
necessary to properly equip and sustain a
