personal interest in the fight. Every

Livingstone says he went to Kansas

Jerry Simpson told him if Ingalls, had

Concluding, Livingstone said There
are some obstacles in Peffers way that
may deprive him of seat in the senate.
When he applies for his certificate of
election from the National committee he
may be informed that he was not elected

4 decision was rendered by the New
York Supreme Court a few days age
which must prove of interest through
out the country. An eminent legal firm
Shipman, Barlow. Laroque & Choate-had
an account with the Bank of the State of
New York. They had confidential clerk
In cha rye of the real estate branch of their
business.
This clerk, by . series of transactions
running through period of four years,
managed by pretended abstracts of title
and forged mortgages to obtain checks of
the firm for various sums dep osited with
them for investment. On these checks he
forged the Endorsements of the payees and
drew tho money from the bank. During
the four years of these trans actions the
firms account mt the bank was written up
thirteen times and the vouchers. including
these checks with forged endorsements,
returned to them in the usual way.
1t is apparent that an examination OF
these Endorsements would have been
pretty certain TO lead TO detection, but
none was made, their genuineness being
assumed When an accident led 70 dis
covery of the frauds their amount had run

bank for the amount paid on the forged
Endorsements.

coLLEcrINa THE POLL TAX.

The House Of Delegates very properly
refused to pass the proposed ordinances
empowering the City Treasurer to assess
the poll tax and appoint deputies to col
iect it. The necessity Of system in gath
ering in the poll tax has been demon
strated. Hitherto it has only been as
sessed against those taxpayers who are
placed on the general tax list, and only .
very cursory attempt has been made to
collect from the comparatively large NUM-
Der of residents who make no return of
taxable property but who are included by
the intention of the statutes a. among
those who should in so small . degree
bear proportion of the expenses of
municipal government.
Comptroller Ferris had already obtained
the sanction of the city council to appoint
the deputy county assessors a. his depu-
ties to collect the tax, but action was de-
layed 20 long that the county assessor was
unable to undertake the work.
The bill introduced last night was in
tended to make amends by authorizing
the city treasurer to appoint deputy as
SCISSORS" and its intention was faultless.
1t was contrary to the charter, however.
inasmuch as it included two subjects, one
levying the tax and the other providing
for collection. The levy will have to be
made by ordinance separately. The as
sessment must be made technically by the
assessor, who is also the comptroller.
Another ordinance may then provide that
the city treasurer, who il also the tax col
lector, shall appoint deputies to collect tho
tax.
The City Council are expected by the
charter to provide that the comptroller is
check upon the treasurer and upon all
Notwithstanding departments. In max
ing up the tax roll, for instance, the comp
troller and assessor makes account of the
sum to be collected and the treasurer keeps
the cash. The same course is evidently
intended as to all monies belonging to the
city. No person is supposed to retain
money belonging to the city for more than
twenty-four hours. It must be turned
over to the treasurer and the person or de-
partment is required to give . duplicate
memorandum to the comptroller of the
amount 30 paid in: so that, If the system
be followed out strictly, perfect check ID
maintained upon the city accounts.
This admirable feature of the charter
should not he lost sicht If

A SUDDEN SHOWER.

Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under sheltering sheds;
And SCHOOLGIRL faces, pale and sweet,
Clean from the shawls about their haada
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above 1t all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain, the rain!
The earth lies gasping; and the eyes
Behind the streaming window-panes
smile 1T the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes rfnR.
The cattle bawl anu cowbells ring;
And into town comes galloping
The farmers horse, with streaming flank
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And hiEts his plumes and folds hio vfnRp.
And under the earaba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clinga
The humble-bee is pelted down
The We; stem of the hoilyhock:
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk
Within, the baby elaps HE hands
And crows with rapture strange and vaSus
without, beneath the rose bush stands
dripping rooster on one leg.

give another that have used successfully for Q

means desirable, either with brush or spray.

and congregate on the swelling buds, then take
a common whitewash brush, fasten it on q

infected parts OF the tree. This treatment viii
exterminate every louise 1t touches. It will

More than one thousand fathers have nled ap-
plicationa, backed By the required proofs, for
the bonuses of one hundred acres Of crown land
offered by the Quebec government to each head
of family of twelve living children. The of
fetal report states that these applicants ara
represented by total Of l2,447 children. These
new landowners are to be collected In groups,
to be formed into parishes later on. The result
Of this peculiar bonus affords statistical evidence
In support of the familiar claim that the French
Canadians are the most prolific people In the
world. Should colony composed of these chill
dren prove equal to their ancestral example, an
estimate of their increase within century
