Corruption ia Philadelphia.

In Philadelphia, last week, Louis J.
Walker, Select Councilman from the
Twelfth ward, admitted receiving $500
for his vote iu favor of the Schuylkill
Valley Water Company's bill in Coun-
ellis committee on water. This, he
says, was paid to him by Common
Common Councilman Charles Seger.
Walker swears that at at the same
time and place Edwin E. Smith, Com
mon Councilman, was paid like sum
in the interest of the same bill by
Seger. He also swears that J. Emory
Byram, Select Councilman, called
upon him at his home, and offered him
So, 900 for his vote for the bill in the
chamber. This sum, he says, was not
paid; he voted against the bill in the
chamber
Certainly the party will suffer in the
end for such frauds by its representa-
tives.

1t is estimated that not less than
1000, 900 silver dollars are in circula-
tiOn that were not coined in the
United States mints. AS the silver in
dollar is worth less than so cents,
this private industry is carried on at a
profit of over 100 per cent. In view of
this fact it is somewhat surprising that
the private coinage of silver dollars in
competition with the government has
not been more extensive.

SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.


After all, the report of that Naval
Court of Inquiry appears to have sur
prised a considerable number of per-
sons.
Senior Polo, the new Spanish Minis
ter at Washington, is really amusing
in his attempts to appear unconcerned;
he actually pretends to be surprised
because the administration does not
confide its entire Cuban policy to him.
The idea, which has been brOached
in Milwaukee, of municipal ownership
of breweries, would be u dangerous
one to get started among the voters
who never lose an opportunity to line
up for free beer.
If we have to have more warships,
the temperance people can be relied
upon to support the idea of getting the
money to pay for them by increasing
the tax ON beer.
There is a church in Washington
county, Maryland, that has just been

each of which is to worship therin in

goodness of the Washington county
folks.

The man who gets an office through

From the number of men, aye, and

Charge Of tho Prussian Cavalry u
Mars-la-Tour.
From the Baltimore Sun: It seems
the Germans have story to match
the charge Of the light brigade at Bal
aklava, equally magnificent, and a
good deal more like war than that
laundering expedition, OF course.
George Bunsen, son OF the famous
German savant, tells the story on the
authority Of the Prussian officer who
carried the order to Auerswald, at the
fight Of Mars-laTour. II became nee
essary to save the army at any sacri-
flee by gaining time for more troops
to come up. The general in command
sent orders to two cavalry regiments
to advance; they were the crack regi-
ments of the Prussian service. TIC
staff officer rode up to Auerswald, the
senior Of the two commanders, and
told him to advance against the
French. "You are not serious" was
the reply. "You do not mean me to
attack the whole French army?" Il
am serious; bring you positive orders
to do So" Auerswald bowed, ana
sending for the young prince OF
Hohenzollern, ordered him Immediate
ly to ride off the field. The young
man said: II have done nothing to
deserve this" and burst into tears.
Auerswald replied: Your family has
suffered quite enough. I order you as
a soldier to do your duty and obey
your commanding officer" He then
directed his men to advance, first at a
foot's pace, then a trot, then a gallop.
They did so and were almost all de-
stroyed. When the survivors had
broken through the French Auerswald
ordered the bugles to sound the as
sembly; slowly some sixty-seven were
mustered. Auerswald said: SOLDIERS,
I thank you you have done your duty.
, Long live the king!" and fell from his
horse, mortally wounded. He recov-
cred consciousness, but died the next
day. About 800 only of the two regi-
ments remained alive, but the army
was saved"

have won several victories over the
Spanish in Cavite province and have
taken fifty officers and 800 men pris-

prepared for occupation by United
States troops on the arrival of the
transports. This report goes to show
that the admiral's plans are working
out admirably: that he has succeeded
in placing upon the insurgents the
burden of conducting military opera
tions against the Spanlartls, while he
himself is lying in forced idleness
awaiting the arrival OF troops. and
that he has succeeded IN preventing
the corruption of the insurgent leaders
by the Spaniards, which appeared at
one time to be threatening.
