The heavy export of gold from this country to Europe has had the effect to place gold at premium over silver and national bank currency Now that tie yellow metal commands q fictitious value Is it not reasonable to suppose that the U. s. Treasury Department would shut down on the speculative gold bugs of Wall street, .isi those European coun- tries to whom the United States L h. debted, by giving effect to the letter of the constitution by paying in "coin" without respect to the color of the metal.

TAX poDGERs.

The qualities of the law are again invoked in behalf of taxpayers in Co., chiSe county, who cry aloud if not pro tected in the enjoyment O; citizenship, but refuse to pay their quota of the cost for that protection The Tomb stone Prospector has this to say in ref ecence to the matter "rhe law pro vides that all personal property sold for taxes must be on the ground at the court house at the time of sale Here tofOre no attention has been paid to this requirement and a man owning personal property and no real estate eould defy the treasurer to his hearts content, knowing that sale where the property was not present was null and void. In this way the real estate own CTS have been worsted and man who owned few hundred head of cattle or horses at point in the county distant from Tombstone was in clover if he wanted to be. But the end is near at hand"
 The reference to being in clover is a mistake. Had the Prospector said rag weed, 1t would have been nearer right The law does not intend that any one shall escape the payment of his due quota of taxes and has wisely made provision for such cases. See acts relative to the collection of delin- 9uent taxes and re.aSsvssli5iTt ,sa.f e t..2eycs, March l9, 1891, and in force from and after their passage.

Some idea of the magnitude of the postal service may be gathered from the fact that the combined length of the railway postal routes of the coun- try is IA. .557 miles, while the trans portations of mails on those routes in 1890 reached the enormous total of 1S6, 6,575, ,3S4 miles. Germany, which comes next, only has 24, 522 miles and total transportation of S9, PCT, 000 miles per annum. But while the rail- way service is one of great magnitude, there are the star-route and steamboat services, which extend over 25l, 792 miles, with total annual transporta- tion of over 12, 2,00u, GOO, 0o0 miles. To carry on successfully this immense ser vice requires the work of over 90,00O persons. The postal correspondence of this country with foreign lands falls little below that of Germany. Of tine 10000, GOO pieces sent abroad last year 70,000, ,0O0 were carried by vessels oi foreign register.

booths not occupied by any other per son and prepare his ballot by marking in the appropriate margin a cross (x) opposite the name of the candidate of his choice for each office to he filled Before leaving the booth the voter shall fold his ballot in such manner that the stub can be removed without exposing the contents of the ballot and the ballot shall then he delivered to the election officers. Sec. 28 pro yides that any elector who declares that by reason of physical disability, or ina bility to read the English language, he is unable to mark his ballot. may de- clare his choice of candidates to the poll clerks who shall accompany such elector to an unoccnpied booth and in the presence of the elector and in the presence of each other shall prepare the ballot for voting in the manner pro vided, and upon request shall read over to such elector the names of the candi. dates marked.
 These are the most important provi- sions of the act, which also applies tc municipal elections but not to school elections, The construction of special polling booths in each precinct, the printing of ballots and providing addi. tional election clerks will largely in crease the cost of elections to the sev. eral counties and be further burden on tax-paYers.

The Tombstone Prospector learned from gentleman who heard Barnes and Heney talk from the rostrum in Nogafes that "Heney spoke first and Barnes next. The latter did not an- swer Heney at all but simply scored the Camerons. The understanding was that Heney would talk first and Barnes next, each to talk an hour and Frank to close in n 15 minute speech. Heney spoke and literally ripped hole in Barnes character and gave undisputed evidence of his crookedness. Barnes spoke from dry goods box further down the street and when he had fin ished Heney wss behind the box and jumped on it and began to talk. This was signal for honbardment and Chinese bombs were fired off around the improvised rostrum and drowned the speakers voice. When the bombs gave out Mir. Heney tried to talk, Barnes crowd yelled like madmen and seeing there was no use to attempt to be heard, the speaker came down, after first telling the crowd at the top of his voice that only towards refused to hear the truth" A word from Barnes would  have insured Heney hearing, but that was not what Barnes wanted"
 The Nogales Herald says 'In this precinct the count disclosed the faci that sixteen "plumpers" were put ir for Barnes, every other name being scratchei off but his. Of these, teu were tickets with the Democratic head. ing and six labeled Republican. It is said that in many instances Democrats offered to vote for two Republicans to secure vote for Barnes And withal Barnes has nothing to brag of. Hi' majority in the county over Freeman the Republican candidate, was small aud in order to obtain which if was necessary to sacrifice Rouse, n co-can- didate and the best man on the ticket.

The question in regard to taxation of church property is being widely dis cussed, and as far as we aFe informed seciilar newspapers are inclined to the opinion thet t should be.

This question will have to be met and disposed of by the eonyen- ton soon to assemble in Phoenix.

An accident occurred in the Copper Queen mine, at Bisbee, last week, in which John Torpey and W. Nelson were horribly mangled by blast. It seems that they had put in five holes and lit the fuse of all but one, which kept them longer than anticipated, but they thought of no danger until the first hole went off and blew them head long into tho drift. Nelson died ol his injuries, and little hope is enter. tailed for Torpey.

ATHLETICS AND ROWING.

The Columbia Athletics have secured Capt.
tol Park for the season and have put the
place in thorough repair for the football
games of this fall. The grass has been cut
and the field marked off, while the sides are to
be roped off completely to keep the crowd in
place. They have mapped out the following
games for the year: October 81, Media Acad-
emy: November 2, Rutger College; Noyem-
ber 90, Franklin A. c., of Baltimore; Novem-
Der IA, Schuylkill Navy; November 49, Uni
versity of Virginia; November 26, George
town University.
On next Thursday the first game of the
season will be played between the two col
lege teams. Georgetown and Kendall univer-
sites. The game will no doubt attract a
large crowd, as it will be Georgetown's first
appearance.

The National Association of Amateur Oars
men held protracted meeting last week in
New York to hear reports from various com
mittees. The committee on the case of Haw-
kins, who was barred from rowing here, was
not able to report, and the executive commit
tee was rather incensed at their backwardness.
The affairs of the committee were shown to be
in excellent shape. At the meeting of the
executive committee here in Washington a
resolution was passed prohibiting college
crews from competing in any Of the regattas,
but President Garfield discovered that such ac-
tion was unconstitutional, as 1t is specifically
mentioned that regattas are open to the world
The committee unanimously rescinded the
former action, and college crews can now
enter. Somewhat of surprise was created by
the president handing in the resignation of
Mr.. William Howard Gibson, of this city, as
secretary. 1t was unexpected, and the officers
of the association stated that it was owing to
disagreement between him and mis- local
club. The resignation was laid over for
future action, as the committee do not want
to part with his valuable assistance.

the fact that the soundest leather is used In

An Increase of Business Last Week
Features of the Transactions.
There was an increase of business last week
on the local Stock Exchange. One of the
features was the free Offering of Pennsylva-
MIA Telephone stock, 100 shares changing
hands at S23. The par of the stock is $50, at
which price its quarterly dividends are at the
rate Of per cent. per annum. At the price
at which the stock sold it will yield nearly 9
per cent. on the investment
Another important feature was the selling
OF Columbia Bank stock, about 100 shares
being allowed to go at 151 and $50. The stock
sold, 1t is supposed, belonged to one holder.
There was a good demand last week for
Washington Loan and Trust stock, with
much f1rmer feeling than heretofore. The
successful renting of the offices in the new
building is source of encouragement to the
directors of the company. The best price yet
realized for American Security and Trust
stock was paid last week for 12 shares. It
brought 1881. Ii a dividend of but per
cent. should be paid on this stock in January
next 1t is believed it will sell for 12O.
There were no sales of Graphophone stock

An elevator is rather an odd place to plan
matrimonial alliance, yet one of the elevs-
tors in the Baltimore Sun Building in this
city, Is said to be the scene OF a very inter
esting romance, which eliminated Wednes-
day In the Issuance OF a marriage license to
Louis Franklin Clipper, of Baltimore, and
Jennie Francis O'Laughlln, of this city.
Louis is the eldest son of Captain William
Clipper, janitor OF the building. The Clipper
family reside in the upper story of the build
Ing, and Louis manipulated one of the ele-
vators. Miss O'Laughlln, who lives in the
neighborhood, became acquainted with
Louis's sister, and during her visits
to the Clipper apartments she invaria-
bly, took the elevator conducted by
Louis. Often she found Louis SO entertaining
that she forgot to get out at the top floor, but
made series of round trips and Indicated
willingness to sit and talk with her Gagged
beau while the ELEVATOR was resting on the
lower floor. 1t was a daily occurrence for
Louis and Jennie to do their love making in
the elevator, and they soon became the OBJ
jects Of general interest. Both are young in
years, neither being over 81, and for that
reason no one supposed that it was anything
more than an ordinary Irritation. Louis con-
tinued his wooing by day, and Miss Jennie
appeared to enjoy the ''ups and downs" with
Louis in his car.
Tuesday night report was current among
those frequenting the Sun Building that Louis
was making preparations for an immediate
marriage. His father and all the members Of
his family denied having knowledge on the
subject, and even Louis smiled nervous
smile when questioned. Early Wednesday
morning Miss Jennie informed her parents
that she intended spending the day with her
friend, Miss Clipper. By pre-arranged plan
she met Louis They proceeded to the City
Hall and secured the license. The youthful
couple thus prepared sought out the Rev.
George Elliott and were married
The parents OF the couple are strict Catho-
lies and their marriage by Methodist clergy
man added to the CONSERVATION of the respec-
tive families. While the young couple may
be forgiven for their .hasty step, the parents
will insist that another ceremony be per-
formed according to the rites of the Roman
Catholic Church.
