JUDGE LACoMBE, of the United
States circuit court, has decided that
there is nothing in a dance as per-
formed on theater stage or in a ball
room that entities it to the protection
of the copyright law. Then he denies
an injunction sought by one young lady
against another to restrain her from
executing a certain ''serpentine dance"
which she claims to have invented He
does not deny that good dancing is the
poetry of motion, but he declares that
it is not an original composition"
within the meaning Of the copyright
law He holds that dance consists Of
movements, and that it is no piracy
for one person tc copy them from an
other.

The number of postage stamps USED
in a year is something enormous For
instance, the ordinary postal revenue
for the year ending June 80, 1891, ex-
elusive of the money-order business,
was $65, 065, 29s.s7. OF this 81, 49,, 129. 50
came from letter postage. The bulk OF
this is, of course, in 2-cent stamps, and
it is safe to put the whole number OF
this denomination used at more than
two billion per annum.

Chicago lightning struck the famous
Grant monument in Lincoln park, dam
aging the pedestal, killing three people
and sinjuring about forty. They had
taken refuge from the rain under the
pedestal arches. The strange part of
it was that only three were killed. as
the bolt passed entirely through the

Sunday at the Worlds Fair.

1t has been explained by Director
General Davis and other worlds fair
officials, who are inclined to favor Sum
day opening, that it is not the intention
or desire that the fair should be opened
on Sundays in the wide" way in which
it will be on week days. On the con-
trary, they would have the machinery
stopped, all manufacturing processes at
standstill, and every description of
work by employees reduced to mini
mum. Religious services and choral
and other musical entertainments could
be held in the numerous halls and aud
itoriums which the buildings will con-
tain. The people could stroll through
the park, viewing its resplendent beat
ties of nature and wonderful achieve
ments of mans handiwork; could enter
the buildings to enjoy the work Of
painter and sculptor, and to learn and
profit from exhibits of innunerable de-
scription. Very few employees, COM
paratively, would be required to remain
on duty on Sunday, and those chiefly
for watchnen and guards. These would
not be required to work seven days in
the week. To care for the thousands of
visitors at the fair on Sunday would not
require more persons to work on that
day than would be necessary were those
same thousands to go elsewhere. Had
1t been understood from the beginning
that the Sunday opening Of the fair
would be of the kind Indicated orderly
and educational instead of noisy and de-
moralizing-it is believed that the pc
titions and protests against a Sunday
fair would have been far less numerous.

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.
A Letter From the Author of the
Now Inv.

A Letter From the Author of the
New Law.
County Auditor Tweed has received a
letter from Ex-Auditor ID. r. Jones, dated
at Gray's Harbor, in which the proper
form of Official ballot is designated. Mr..
Jones is the author of the new election law.
He admits the liability to error if the law
is carried out literally. To avoid cOnfu-
sfon he suggests an alteration as follows
THE use of the exact form attached to sec
tiOn 379 in the approaching general cleo
tion would lead to confusion and contests.
1t may be well in lieu of the form pre-
scribed to adopt the same form of ruling
and spacing of ballot used by the city of
Seattle in the last municipal election.
There is nothing in the text of section 379
to prevent the change. In this form the
heavy dark lines between the two light
lines so separate the columns ofcandidates
that the electors cannot make an error in
voting, and an election board cannot fail
to determine for whom the elector voted. -
Mr.. Tweed had already decided upon
this arrangement. 1t is evident that Mr..
Jones sent a similar circular to each county
auditor in the state.

MEN OF CHARACTER.
Suggestions and Timely Words
From a Taxpayer.

For whom should You VOte3 Conn
potency, Industry and Attention
TO Duttes are RequisIte--NEen
VINO Will serve the People.
Editor Tribune:
An Office is a public trust, therefore, an
officer should be honest and of good charac-
ter He should be competent, industrious
and attentive to the duties of his Office in
detail. He is the servant of the people.
and should guard their interest with zeal
GUS care, not only doing what he is en-
joined by law, but what he can to bring
out all there is in the Office for the general
welfare of the people.
H should be fully Identified with the
interest of his county, with its material de-
yelopment, striving at all times to secure
economy in every department of work, in
his Office.
Hence, to be fully in touch with the peo-
pie, he should know something of the bur
den Of taxation. In order to truly
appreciate the burden of taxes, he should
have something to pay on beside his head.
When a man of this kind is elected to of
flee we may reasonably expect a faithful
administration. But on the contrary, when
a man is elected TO an Office who knows
nothing Of what it is to pay taxes, who
owns nothing but his trunk and what he
stands in, you may look for that man to
get all he can out of the office in the way of
emoluments. He has nothing to do but to
"take up his bed and walk" There are
men now asking the suffrage of the people
for some of the most important offices in
the county who own no property, whose
names do not appear on the tax books, who
have never paid any real property or per-
sonal tax, and who, if defeated, will, in all
probability look for a more cOngenial eli
mate. Look over the list of candidates and
see who they are, and when you come to
vote, see that you place a cross after the
names of those who know what tits to help
bear the burden of taxation. TAXPAYER.
