AT recent dinner given 10 Philadelphia,
by the Hibernia Society, Postmaster-G Gen.
eral Wanamaker was one OF the speakers.
Here is an extract from his speech. 1t Is
worth pasting up somewhere convenient
for reference few weeks before each
election
''If taxpayers and citizens excuse them
selves on the ground OF having no time,
people that have plenty Of time and moth
iag~else will take up politics and pay
themselves the price that pleases them
selves, TO be finally drawn from the un-
willing pockets Of those who are too busy
TO attend to such things The neglect
OF public affairs Is the most costly and
dangerous thing 10 our American life of
to-day. conceive 1t to be the duty OF
every American citizen to find way to
give at least a period ef service In city,
State or National Government II called
upon to do so. A place 10 Councils, Leg
islature or Congress is not beneath the
highest scholar. merchant or banker in
the land, no matter how high he may
have risen."

TO say that any other mako OF sew
ing machine Is just as good as the Wheel
er & Wilson, is casting reflection on the
intelligence Of the people OF this city, for,
while different agents have been advertis-
ing cheap, inferior machines to be just az
good, the sale of the Wheeler g. Wilson
has gone steadily on. AT least, there
were more than five times as many Wheel
err & Wilson's sold in this city and vicini-
ty, last year, than ell the other makes
combined.
We shall shortly print in these columns
the reference of some fifty people who
have bought the No. 0, and you may see
what they say regarding this machine.

We are informed that a colored Meth
edist minister has been refused the lease
OF various places 10 this city, which he
desired to rent for the purpose of holding
religious services, and that the reason of
this refusal is a prejudice against the

ly, such a feeling is dscreditable.

Here is an interesting political and
mathematical problem: Colonel Wanser
says taat probably 5000 illegal votes were
cast against him in the Jersey City cleo
ton, Tuesday of last week. Democrats
who do net love Wanser say that at least
near 5000 Democrats voted for him.
Wanser's plurality is 1887, at least
near enough to 5000 to call it that in
round numbers. Now, then, the votes of
the three thousand Democrats who cast
their ballots for Wanser were neutralized
by the three thousand fraudulent ballots
cast against him. Yet he was elected by
plurality Of three Thousand. Queer,
Isn't II
