THE TAX CONTRACT.

The report of the special committee
on the collection of taxes has been
presented to the city council, and on
request of Alderman Coldwell the
council has deferred action on same
until this evening in order to give the
public an opportunity to reflect over it
and criticise, if it chooses, and to assist
the council with their suggestions.
Undoubtedly a number OF citizens will
be present to discuss the different
phases of the question with the city
fathers, and to indicate to them their
ideas, as considerable feeling is mani
tested in the matter. Under the ordi-
nance Willard Patterson, Esq, an able
lawyer, is to be employed to collect
all taxes now due the city and all back
taxes delinquent, and he has been
named the agent and attorney of said
city, to collect said taxes by suit or
otherwise, and where the city has
acquired title to land he may sue to
quiet the city's title. His compensation
has been fixed atone-tenth of all proper
ty recovered, money and land, together
with all interest due from delinquent
taxes prior to the year 1890
The HERALD has heretofore express
ed its views on the various phases of
the collection of the delinquent taxes.
If the collections are to be taken from
the hands of the city attorney, and plac-
ed in the hands of special counsel, the
city council have made no mistake when
the choice fell upon Willard Patterson,
who is one of the most interchangeable
workers of the bar. A test case or two
might have served the city's interest as
well as the present ordinance, and at a
great deal less expense. Mr.. Coldwell's
suggestion to make Mr.. Patterson city
attorney, was also made with view of
economizing on the attorneys fee. Still
as we have said. if the council see fl to
make a special employment, the

THE CORRECT THING.

Judge Roger A. Pryor of New York,
of the supreme court of New York. has
refused to permit the Incorporation Of
the Hungarian Social club. The pur-
pose of the society, as set forth, was ''to
inspire love and devotion to native
land, to preserve and propagate the
Hungarian language and literature. s"
Judge Pryor ruled that it is not de-
sirable for naturalized citizens of the
United States to organize with the OBJ
ject of perpetuating their devotion to
the country which they have abandon
ed. Such people, according to the
reasoning of the judge, have taken on
the obligations of American citizen
ship, and their first duty and supreme
affection should be for the land of their
adoption. His efforts, therefore,
should be concentrated in making
himself an intelligent and patriotic
citizen, and not expended in an attempt
to preserve his individuality as a
native of some other country. The
Judge was dead right-the object
henceforth should be to catch the
American vote.

That's the Way to do it.

While the blockade runner Three
Friends was in the act of lowering boats
for the purpose OF landing at the mouth
of the San Juan river recently, she was
suddenly attacked by a 40 foot Spanish
coaster. which steamed from the sha-
dow off the shore. One shell from the
tillibuSter's twelve pound gun and
volley of rife shots scared the Spaniard
which steamed away, gnaliug for aid.
Her calls were answered by a big gun
boat, which exchanged shots with the
Three Friends. The latter sent a shell
into the gun boat silencing her and
then escaped. After the men and stores
were landed a desperate fight occurred
with the Spanish coast patrol, and the
Three Friends was chased by several
gun boats and cruisers on the IN back
to Florida.

Ten THOUSAND NAMES.

The Grant boomers are still busy,
according to the Dallas News. They

The business customs of Mexico
should be thoroughly studied by those
American merchants and manu;actur-
ers who are seeking trade in this coun-
try. In nearly every instance where
representative of a reliable concern of
this country fails to meet with good
results in the sale Of goods, the fact is
directly traceable to his poor knowledge
of the manners and customs OF the PEG
pie with whom he is trying to deal.
A correct knowledge of the Spanish
language is a prime requisite for sue
cess, but it is not an absolute necessity,
as we know of number of American
travelling men who have done exceed
ingly well on their periodical trips to
Mexico. What they lacked, however,
in the knowledge OF the language they
made up for in their knowledge of the
business customs of the people. In q
great majority of the business houses
of the larger cities of Mexico English
is freely spoken and the services of an
Interpreter are not equired.-Chihua-

HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.
The Young Mother Fosters Ugly Traits by
Iniudicions NIanagement.

The dangers that cluster about the
Untried feet of the young mother begin
from the very first daWning of her
babes intelligence. Long before she
dreams of his knowing anything OF re
cciving mental impressions, the seeds
are sowing for good or i'll in his char
acter | have watched the growth of
weeds that with the lightest touch,
might have been Tipped away from the
tender soil, but time passed by and the
intruder fOurished apace. Get control
of YOUR child during the first three
years and you are sure of him. If the
habit of obedience and Difference is
firmly rooted then he will never fail you
in after years when he has slipped the
apron leash.
The trouble is too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injudicious management.
Her baby refuses to kiss her. She makes
believe to cry about il and thus gives q
lesson that will soon have him crying
for W hat he wants. He bumps his head
and she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him, thus teaching him to
be Ombative and Spiteful. What is il
that makes nearly all children liars and
many of them thieves? They are
trained to be so by the unconscious fin
gers that point the way. The mother
promises anything, everything to keep
peace and avoid Il combat with the
little creature, who even now is beyond
her control. She does not fulfill these
promises and the child becomes her
Judge. Never tell a lie to child, or in
any way deceive him, if you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him of the happiness of supreme trust
in you. 1t will cling to him through life.

SUFFERERS FROM "FLAT Feet"
How the Breaking Down of the Arch Is
Remedied.

Despite the fact that the beauty of Il
well-arched foot is much appreciated
by people of an artistic turn of mind,
la; been sung frequently by poets and
versemakers. there has been until late
Nv little interest, from Il scientific point
of view, taken in its direct opposite
the. flat foot. In a great number of in
stances fiat feet are the occasion OF
considerable keen suffering, generally
resulting from the breaking down of
the arch-that is, the displacement OF
seine of the many little bones of the
foot. either from overstrain or some
disease of the muscular structure. As
the weight of the body constantly rests
upon the foot there is no opportunity
tor the bones to get back to their
proper places.
The result is that these little bones
keep rubbing against each other, and
the pain gets more and more severe.
Commonly the persons afflicted in this
yyay think that he or she has rheuma-
tism and let it go at that. Until re-
Gently the only remedy was steel
soled shoe that was clumsy and heavy.
The new device is interesting. 1t is an
"insole," curved to fit the foot, made
OF Il Denb SlIll) vi >>ltCl SiiI' ~ 'iliS g.
sprinr 1t is covered either with lcath-
er or with Vulcanized rubber to pre-
vent rusting. and, needing no fasten-
ing. but simply to be placed in position,
il can be changed from one shoe to an
other at will.
In position it acts simply as sup
port, literally holding up the bones
and giving them an opportunity to slip
back into their proper places. While
any ''insole" of the approximate shape
will give relief, the best results are
reached only when one is especially
made from cast or impression of the
foot. \ great proportion OF the peo-
pie troubled with fiat feet come FROM
the north of Europe, many of them
from the lowlandS of Germany. The
inhabitants of the south OF Europe,
strangely enough. are seldom troubled
with anything of the sort. Their in
steps. especially in the case of women,
are nearly always highly arched and
finely formed.-N. Y. Tribune.
