Association will go to Chicago the
third week in May and "do" the
Exposition.
This appears to be a very select
literary club.
Persons who have borrowed reform
books from the MIDLAND JOURNAL
library and still have them in their pos
session, will please return them, in
order tba, they may do future service.
The long evenings having passed, the
farmers season for reading and study
having given place to lengthening days
and labor OH the farm, they will have
time to reflect and digest the truths
those works have pointed out TO them.

ing bit of history;
1t is not generally known, but the
famous blind chaplain of the House
of Representatives, Rev. William
Milburne, whose eloquent prayers in
the opening of the sessions of that
body have been listened to and read
with wonder and admiration, is first
cousin of Mr.. VIM. Jones of Elkton,
the mason. Rev. Milburne's father
formerly resided in Cecil county and
removed to Philadelphia where the
eloquent preacher was born. Mr..
Nicholas Milburn, of Bay View, is
also relative. The Blind Chaplain
as he is called has just been nominal.

If the question is decided in favor
of the tax payer. this other question
Immediately hobs up. If the tax
paying privilege confers the right to
vote in the borough election how
much privilege does it confer /?
Shall the person who pays 500 tax
be entitled to only one vote the same
as the person who pays only 81?
Evidently this would be almost as
radically wrong as the interference
of the uontax payer.
The private corporation has solved
this problem by dividing the property
of the concern into shares, each share
representing vote. Could tho town
or city be managed in the same way ??
1t might, by exempcing all the very
small property holders from taxation,
and maklng-for illustration-say
S. the minimum tax and each null
tiple thereof entitie the payer to al
vote, In email boroughs the sum
might be reduced to 81. The iron
rule of business has settled the
question this way, and it is evidently
a just conclusion. Such a system
would drive out the thieves that are
wormeating all municipal govern
ment.

This rage for Office extends to
every branch of the public service.
The cause is not far to seek. Gen.
orally the work is not laborious and
the pay betterthan for similar classes
of work and the hours of labor fewer.
But these are not all of the reasons.
The scarcity Of money. low prices
and interest have so contracted and
cramped business that many of the
most respectable and well to, do class
are at their wits end to dispose of
their time for even a very moderate
sum of money. When the forced
waste of time and scanty in the ag-
gregate incomes perplex the better
GLASS;" so sorely how severely must
those who occupy lower place in the
social scale feel the pinchS 1t is not
innate cussedness of the human biped |
or the Office mania that causes this
terrible scramble. but the cause lies
mainly in the economic conditions
which environ US.
