WORTH FIGHTING FOR

The Immsnss spous that co 20 the
Wilmer In Greater New York.
New YORK, Nov 1.-The Mayor OF
Greater New York viii be IN control
Of more patronage than anyone except
the President Of the United States
Within his gift will be 80, ASP positions
for the faithful These officials will
draw every year more than s}4,OpO,OoO
from the city treasury. While civil
service reform WILL in a measure,
bc a factor. IL will be in the power
Of the Mayor, during the first six
months OF his term, 10 remove any one
Of his appointees at his pleasure and
without giving any reason for his ac-
tion except his own will. With the
deent of the new city government
the tenure OF Office Of every city EN-.
ploye, except members OF the police
and fire department, will come to an
abrupt end. Therefore, this Mayor
will have clean field 10 put those in
office whom ne pleases. Municipal
history shows no record of such enor-
nous power in the hands of single
man as will fall 10 the lot of the first
Mayor of the consolidated cities
The new municipality will be di-
vided into Eve boroughs-Manhattan,
Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Rich
mond The first Is New York city
proper; the second, that portion Of
Winchester which is taken in, and re-
ceives It's name from the Bronx river;
the third is the city of Brooklyn as II
is to-day; tho fourth is the rest of the
county of Queens that comes into the
consolidation, including Long Island
City, and the fifth Is Staten Island.
Every city official holding a nom
/ elective Office In this immediate terri
lory will be subject TO the new Mayor
OF course. the Mayor directly appoints
comparatively small number OF
these What are known as his partic-
ular appointees will be 240 odd heads
Of departments, and these chiefs Ill
all the remainder Of the places, but,
IL goes without saying, in manner
which will please the Mayor. In all
this broad land Of ours there is no
Governor whose power approaches
that which will devolve upon the
Mayor OF Greater New York.

For several centuries the deposits In
the Bank OF Venice were never paid
out again. They we're only transfer
able on the books Of the bank, yet
these deposits as represented on the
books OF the bank were, during this
long period, at high premium over
coin. The reason for this was that
they were made the standard OF pay
lneut by the government in all large
transactions. In fact this bank money
was that which established the money
Of account and in which or 10y which
the value OF all COINS measured. The
hat OF the state clothed these bank de-
posits with their money value, in
which neither gold or SILVER impaired
the slightest consideration.

SILVER DOLLARS.

Countorfeiters ia st. Louis Make Better
Than United States Coins
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. i.--Counterfeit
silver dollars OF greater weight and
fineness than those from the United
States mints have been accepted
during the last week by ST. Louis
bank tellers without hesitation. 1t
was only when they reached the st.
Louis sub-treasury that their spurious
character was detected. United States
Treasurer Small sent one to the direc-
tor Of the mint for assay. He received
a reply In which the statement was
made that, although the assay hti
not been completed there was no
doubt that there was more pure silver
in the counterfeit than in a genuine
coin.

Inc brandy farmers OF Charente are
a distinct class. Every one OF them,
even II he own no more than patch
Of six or seven acres, has his own stili
and manufactures his own spirit. says
Chambers Journal Most OF the stills
which I saw were mere shanties OF
the most primitive type, like highland
bothies or the rude huts In which 81
licit "potheen" used TO be. and ] dare
say even now is. manufactured in some
wild parts of Ireland The apparatus
is one Of the simplest klnd-just a boil
er with receiver and the worm" OF
serpentine. a mere tube thrust into a
big cylinder Of cold water. There are
usually two OF these humble stills in
operation and wood is ger orally used
as fuel. When the farmer commences
making his brandy he continues work
ing his stills day and night until he
has converted all his wine into spirit
The brandy at this stage is perfectly
colorless and contains the whole OF the
essential OIL which has subsequently
to be removed by a drastic process of
filtration. This, however, the farmer
leaves TO the merchant to whom he
brings his brandy for sale. Many Of
these brandy farmers are very wealthy.
was told Of one worth 100000, an
other ESQ, 600, a third eco 900 and a con
siderable number with 100000 and f20-
900 apiece-sums which figure out mag
nifcently in francs. But to look at
them you would never guess that they
| possess as many pence as they have
pounds. For. however rich they may
/ be, they still retain the dress and style
Of peasants They make no attempt TO
ape the manners and fashions of those
above them. Each generation is con-
tent to live as its predecessors did--a
frugal, hard working life. with its oc-
casional holidays and iunketings and
the exercise Of that thrift which is a
French peasants highest pleasure.
