The Difference.

The following conversation reported
by friend was recently overheard be-
tween two brothers, aged four and six
years: "Say, Winny, what is the diff
ference, anyway, between bicycle
and tricycle?" Elder with patroniz-
ing air)-'Why, Ray, don't you know
that? If man takes the thing home to
see how he likes it, it is tricycle.; but,
if he buys it outright, it is bicycle"
This etymology is not more fantastic
than some proposed by older children.

The CITY Budgat.

The total Of the city budget for next year
is little less than that for this year. This
years budget was SSlS, 400 and next years
Is S5o4, 400, being Sl4 900 less. It will be
noticed, however, that this years budget
has been exceeded by about S35, 600, aud
there is, it is stated about 600 cash in
the treasury that will be carried over to
next years credit. In addition to this cash
there is due the city about $4,000 from
property owners on street paving contracts,
making So. 900 to the credit of next year.
These figures show that the city is in a
healthy financial condition and justify the
expectation that after next year it will be
possible to very materially reduce the tax
rate if the city's affairs are economically
administered.
After next year there will be nothing to
pay on the new water works, In next
years budget there is an item of 100000
for water works 1t also appears that the
taxes yielded this year S55, 900 more than is
needed. After next year, therefore, there
can easily be reduction in the total
amount Of the taxes of $175. 900. The fact
must be taken into account also that the
city is growing, and tue amount Of taxable
values is increasing. All things con-
sidered, therefore, there is no reason why
the tax rate in 1894 should not be n per
cent There should be, in fact, an earnest
effort made to get the rate down to l per
cent. as soon as possible, because high taxes
tend to keep out business and industrial on
terprises.

rate is so high, even though there were
good reasons for some of the increases,

The Total Vote.

Oeicial returns Of the vote cast in the
national election in November have been
received from all the states. According to
our dispatches yesterday Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived 5,567, 800 votes; Gen. Harrison,
5.176,6l1; Gen. Weaver, 1,025, O6O; Mr.. Bid
we'll 25S, 3i7, and Mr.. Wing socialist labor.
81. 762.
Mr.. Cleveland's plurality over Gen. Har-
rison is 391 ,S59. The vote given to MIR.
Cleveland does not however, represent the
full democratic vote. because ia six CT seven
western states, owing to the fusion between
the democrats aud the populists. the demo-
cratic vote was given 10 the Weaver cleo
tors. As many, perhaps. as 100000 demo
cratic votes were in this way lost to Mr..
Clsveland It will be seen, therefore, that
Mr.. Cleveland's plurality over Gen. Hsrri-
son would have been nearly 600, 900 if all
the democratic votes cast had been counted
for him. In 1883 Mr.. Cleveand's
plurality over Gen. Harrison was 94,60l.
At the last election Gen. Harrison received
257, 662 votes less than he received IL 1888,
Notwithstanding the fact that the whole
number Of votes cast in 1892 was nearly
100000 more than that cast in 1888. Mr..
Cleveland, at the last election, received
50, 4s8 more than in 1888, not counting the
estimated 100000 that were given to the
Weaver electors.
The vote given the Weaver electors does
not fairly represent the number Of voters
who approve the popullst principles In
some Of the states there were
fusions between the populists and
democrats and in others between
populists and republicans. It is estimated
that on account OF these fusions fully $780,
900 democratic and republican votes we're
cast for Weaver electors. II that estimate is
correct the populist vote was about 725. 900.
The official returns do not show much
that is encouraging TO the prohibitionists.
In 1888 they polled about 1876 votes. and
this year 25S,S47, an increase Of little
over II 900. Their sincerity does not seem
to advance their cause very rapidly.
In comparison with previous presidential
elections there was a noticeable falling off
in the increase of the popular vote. In the
seven presidential elections from 1864 to
1888, including both of these years, the in
crease at each election was between ], 100, 900
and /, 100000. At the last election the in
crease was less than 100000. Although
IL ,070, SOL votes were cast, it is estimated
that more than !, 200 900 voters did not cast
their ballots. IL would be interesting TO
know why so many remained away from
