SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE % 1895

THE City Council of Philadelphia mas
lust imposed tax of fifteen Thousand
dollars upon the property holders OF
that city for display of fire works on
the coming Fourth of July. Looked at
in some lights, the practice of Rob Roy
and the theories of the anarchists will
bear favorable comparison with what
is called the free and equal government
of this country. If a man wishes to
manifest his patriotism on the Fourth
of July, or any other day, by exploding
gun powder, by all means let him do
so, if he have the money to pay for ii;
but why other people, who can not at
ford the expense, should be taxed to en-
able him to do so, can not be explain.
I'd on any principle of sound political
economy. Among the accompaniment
Of the decline and fall ofthe Roman en-
pire were the shows given to the pop
ulace, and paid for by exactions from
those who had acquired property by

there is nothing new under the sun.

THE BALTIC CANAL.

The GREAT banquet, which practical
ly wound up the ceremonies of opening
the Baltic-NorLh sea canal, took place
yesterday evening at Holtenau in the
much-discussed structure representing
the old German warship Niobe. About
1000 guests participated in the enter
tainment, including the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the various nations. The
banquet hall WAS facsimile of a
huge vessel of ancient construction, as
in vogue in the seventeenth century.
The three masts, each 100 feet high,
were taken from the bulls of the Niobe
and Geffon, the earliest two-vessels of
the infant German navy of 1850, The
bowsprit formed part of the Moltke, an
other old vessel. With the two top
masts added, the total height of the
masts was 227 feet. The whole struc-
ture was 413 feet long and 1872 feet
wide. The banquet hall itself meas
ured 1874 by 81 feet. One hundred and
fifty lights furnished the illumination,
and the table arrangements were en-
trusted to Borchardt of Berlin, who
receives S25 per plate, or about S25, 900
in all, which sum includes wines, serv-
ice and transportation. During the
whole of the festivities the naval or
chestra of the second German naval d.
vision furnished the music. The
French admiral, Menard, sat on the
Emperor's right hand and the Russian
admiral, Skrydloff sat on his left. At
the conclusion of the banquet the EN-
peror made speech.

A Powerful Criminal Organization

NEW YORK, June 22.-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Davis, who has conduct
ed the prosecution of the organized
gangs of frebugs which have been
hourishing on the east side for years,
has allowed Samuel Mich, an adiuster,
who is under indictment for arson, to
turn States evidence. On the strength
of Milch's confession Policeman LEM
and George w. Holt, an insurance ad
ulster, were arrested last evening and
locked up. Milch's confession showed
that the frebug gang was one of the
most powerful criminal organizations
that has ever existed in the city. 1t
had agents everywhere, and it is even
said that one of these agents was in the
district attorneys Office and kept the
gang informed of the workings of the
Office and the doings of the grand jury.
1t is probable that there will be several
more important arrests.

it always did, but that it doesn't seem

patent to all in that condition that it
goes without saying. To them the
days only began to lengthen short
time ago, but already they have COM
menced to grow short again. Though
the thought of the last blizzard still
makes them shiver, people are even now
seeking the cool breezes of the sea
shore and the mountains. apparently
it was only last month that they were

late, they will have to be doing SO
