Governor Griggs on Saturday signed
the general borough act. The bill has
an important feature in changing the
relation which a large number Of the
b~oroughs now bear to the State and the
township in which they are located.
Uuder the old conditions a great many
b%oroughs did not possess complete
autonomy of local government. The new
law provides for a complete autonomy
and also for the assessing aud collecting
by the borough officers all that portion of
the State and county tax chargeable
against property located in boroughs.
Heretofore in many boroughs taxes
were only collected by the borough
officials for strictly borough purposes,
and the State, school and county taxes
were assessed and collected by the off .
/ GERS of the townships in which the
borough was located. The bor0ughs
formed a part of the township aud
borough property SO assessed its prop
ecty for township expenses outside of
road tag.
Now the township off 3ars will have
nothing to do with the %boroughs, and the
assessors and collectors of the boroughs
will assess and collect all take to be
raised in such ~boroughs, no after for
What purpose.
The act is made applicable to all bor-
ougbs. but does not take away any
powers held under special charters uu
less they be Inconsistent with the pro-
visions of the act. The bill provides for
a Mayor and six Couucilmen. to serve
without compensation, the Mayor for two
years and the Councilmen for three years
In addition to the assessor and collector,
who serve for t~hreeyears each, there will
be three commission ars of appeals.
All appointive eff 3ers aud vacancies
are filled by nomination by the Mayor
and confirmed by the Council. The
appoiniive officers are a borough clerk,
attorney, marshal, overseer of the poor,
pound keeper. superintendent of highways
and police officers.
10 boroughs having a population of
over three thousand a lreeholder will have
to be appointed.
The moneys for borough purposes are
to be- appropriated and raised by the
council by ordinance. All street improve
meDts are to ba paid for by assessment
upon the property benefited, aud

The Local Paper.

Each year every local paper gives from
$500 to So. 600 in free lines for the benefit
of the community in which it is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor, in proportion to his means,
does more for his town than any other
man, and, in fairness, mau with man, he
ought to be supported-nob because you
like him or admire his writings, but bs
cause a local paper is the best advertise
ment a community can make.
IL may not be crowded with great
thoughts, bat financially it is more OF a
benefit than both teacher aud preacher.
To day, editors of local papers do more
work for less pay than any other men on
earth.
Patronize your local paper, not as a
charity, but as an investment.

Matthew Arnold.

When I was rector of st. Margarets
Westminster, Matthew Arnold was in
spector of my national schools. 1t was
always delightful to see and hear him
as he examined the little children
many of them among the poorest of the
poor. in grammar or arithmetic, or
looked critically at the work done by the
little Annes and Mary James of the
back streets. He manifested true dig
nifty by the accomplishing faithfulness
and regularity with which. for many
long years, he discharged the compare
lively humble routine duties of an in
spector, which must have often seemed
very uncongenial, and from which he
ought to have been exempted by pro-
motion or some form of national graf
itude He used sometimes to say, at
gatherings where he was received with
the -loudest applause: Gentlemen, you
see before you a humble inspector of
schools. Dean Farrar, in the Temple

A man employed as cook at the
American Laundry, was overcome by
the heat early yesterday evening, just
after preparing the evening meal, and
fell at the corner of Nineteenth and
streets. He was taken to the Re
ceivirg Hospital, where City Physician
Nichols and his assistant, DR.. ogden,
worked on him several hours to restore
him to consciousness, but without sue
cess.
The patient was still unconscious at
midnight, and DR.. Ogden regarded his
recovery as doubtful. The unfortu-
nate mans name was not obtained by
the officers.
At a. m. this morning word was re-
ceived from the Receiving Hospital
that the man who was taken there
unconscious supposedly from the eff
fects of overhead, passed away.

A majority of the Board Of City
Trustees has voted against using the
press as a means of notifying the peo-
pie of certain municipal regulations
deemed essential for the people to know
on the asserted ground that the news
papers do not reach all the people. We
very much incline to the belief that the
truth is they do reach the people to a
greater and broader extent than some
members of the Board of Trustees find
comfortable. Only the week before this
refused to give public notice of the pas
sage of ordinances, knowledge of which
is essential to the people if the laws
are to be justly enforced. Our criti-
cisms upon that action with references
to the good old tyrannical days when
dictators posted the laws on pillars so
high that the people could not read
them has stirred the depths of some of
the Trustees. May it do them good,
since livers need such regulation some
times. But soberly, what asininity it is,
to say that the people of a city of this
character where are published two
daily papers, are not reached by such
press TO the extent that will give the
notice necessary to warn against viola
tions of the law Since when has it been
discovered that trade, the courts and
men generally are using an inefficient
means of publication that employ news
paper advertising? Even if it is con-
coded that not every one is reached
each day by means of the local press, it
remains that those who are reached are
and those comprise so vast a number
that the remainder is an infinitesimal
fraction. 1t is noticeable that if by
most excusable inadvertance, there oc-
ours an error in a report of the proceed
ings of the Board of Trustees as given
in the press, there is an immediate
hullabo about it, because of the publici-
ty given to it Our municipal fathers
take no account, evidently, of the vast
amount of free publicity given by the
local press to their acts of which they
desire the people to have knowledge. 1t
would be entirely just for the press to
decline further to gratuitously serve the
board as a medium of communication
with the people. But the fact is, so far
as the Record Union" is concerned,
that its readers have so much amuse-
ment and genuine fun out of the news
reports of these proceedings that to de-
prive them of that entertainment Tues
day mornings would be asking too
much of good nature. But it would
serve the board we'll and just to give
some day a verbatim report of one OF
it's livelier meetings. In that case ii
might find that more people would hear
of a portion of the board than it is
now fancied reside within municipal
bounds.
