some functional arrangement: some distress

RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, we believe that the news
papers of our state are the great edu-

laboring people. Therefore, we, of the
the Second congressional district of
Missouri, do recommend that we en-
dOrse the newspapers of our respective
counties that are friendly to our al
lance principles.
WHEREAS, there is q scarcity of
money to carry on the commerce OF
the country, thereby expressing the
producers-compelling them to sell
their products for less money than it
costs them reproduction. Therefore,
we would heartily pray for bill Civ
ing us free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
WHEREAS, Livingston county, of
this district, is already working un-
der the mutual insurance laws and |
find them for more preferable than |
corporate insurance companies. |

New England Cities Make the Best show

The cities Of Worcester, Mass, and

differences between New England and
Middle states city governments. In 1880
the two cities were nearly equal in pop
ulation. They ara both manufacturing
cities, situated in the interior. and sur

In 1880 Syracuse had 90 miles of streets
IL "a miles of which were paved. The
annual cost Of maintaining these high
ways was about SIS, 900. For the same
cost Worcester maintained 1877 miles Of
streets, all of which were paved.
The water works of Syracuse were
owned by a private corporation, those
Of Worcester by the city. Syracuse had
no parks, unless a small square or two
may be thus dignifed; Worcester had
about thirty-ive acres Of parks. The
drainage system of Worcester wa much
more elaborate and perfect than that Of
Syracuse. While it cost Syracuse from
$40, 900 to S12, 900 a year TO clean its
ninety-two miles of streets, it cost
Worcester only s.. 800 to clean its 1877
miles Of streets.
The police force of Worcester was
larger and more expensive than that Of
Syracuse On an expenditure Of S104,-
SOC the New York city maintained
eighteen schools, in which were Taught
about 1000 pupils; the Massachusetts,
city maintained thirty-siI schools and
instructed 1900 children for $139, 70.

ed of four steam engines, one fire extin-
guisher, one hook and ladder truck and

the first was S31. $50, of the second

last week while eating piece of pie.
lie had just bought the pie at a pie
stand, and seeing five little oak bar.
rels on the sidewalk near the sub.
treasury in Wall street, he coolly took
a seat upon one of them The keg
contained ten canvas bags and each
bag held -, oOO in gold. An officer OF

formance, en-. Dyed it SO much that he
did not disturb the boy until he had
eaten his pie.
