The Election of the Republican
Citizens Ticket Would Be
a Calamity.

The contest for control of the mu.
nicipal government has for a week
or more occupied more attention 10.
cally than the State campaign.
The Democrats who have so sue
cessfully conducted the business af-
fairs of the city since 1890 are en-
gagged in a fight this year with a
fusion ticket backed by the solid
colored vote in the contested wards.
most of the white Republicans and
small minority of Democrats and
former Democrats. In a contest with
the same elements in 1897, the Dem
ocrats were successful in four of the
seven wards by maioritles ranging
from ) to 20 votes. Conditions this
year are much more favorable.
The wards have been charged to
some extent. The Republicans who
two years ago supported six former
Democrats, this year demanded two
places themselves on the Citizens
ticket, thus making it plain that
they are behind the whole move
ment. This has caused many Dem
Ocrdts who were misled before. to
cut loose from the so-calleG indie
Pendents this time. These recla-
nations appear to more than offset
the fresh OBJECTIONS by reason OF
state issues. In addition to these
advantages, the excellent business
showing made by the Council this
year in reducing the bonded debt
more than $4,000 and at the same
time reducing taxes $3.50 on the
81, 900, has made many votes among
the prudent business men of all
parties. In every ward some of the
better classes of Republicans will
vote with the Democratic property
owners of the city to continue good
government. They realize that to
turn the horde of spoils. hunters into
offices from which the people have
heretofore seen mt to remove them
would amount to a calamity. Be
hind these men are to be found the
worst elements in the city.

ceipt Of circular letter from Commits
sioner-ofInternal- Revenue Miller. in
which he says:
The act of June 10, 1898, increased
the number of special tax payers in
this country from 100000 to 400. OO0
This large increase in the number of
such taxpayers. together with the de-
lay in the preparation of the special
tax stamps necessary to accommodate
them, very materially retarded the is
sue of such stamps ut the beginning of
the current fiscal year.
Arrangements have now been made
to anticipate the applications OF special
taN-payers for the coming fiscal year
by placing fun supply OF special tax
stamps in the hands OF each collector

/, 1899
Collectors will avail themselves Of
every opportunity 20 acQuaint the pub
lie with this fact by circulars and
nation on this subject may be sought
as Il matter of news.

called to the fact that while it is pos
sible for them to delay making returns
and paying the tax throughout the
month III Whlch their business COM
menced. at the same time. the law re-
quireS that they shall have their spe-
cial tax stamps exhibited in their places
of business. and heavy penalties are
imposed for a failure to do so. Their
attention should be further called to
the fact that when they delay filing
their applications and paying the tax
until the last days Of June or the first
days of July they will find crowded
and confused condition of things in the
Office of the collector, which may pre-
vent them from receiving prompt at

spite of the taunts of his companions,
he deliberately leaned back I'm his seat
and went to sleep. Then the two prac-
tical jokers got together and determined
upon a plan for fun. The sleeper was
generously endowed by nature with a
good shock of hair, one tuft of which,
on the back of his head, was particu-
larly prominent. His companions cut
off a piece of fishing line and silently
but firmly tied one end of II to the
prominent tuft and the other end to
the arm of the seat back of the sleeper.
The latter dozed peacefully until the
train reached Camden. Then his COM
panions, who had their tackle and fish
In hand, shook him and yelled: Cam
den! Hurry up. or Wen miss the boat"
He started up in his seat, but fell back
with something between a howl and a
curse when the cord had gone its limit.
A young calf at the end of a rope would
have been a tame exhibition as COM
pared with the tangled fisherman.
While his companions hurriedly made
their way TO the boat one Of the laugh
ing onlookers cut him loose with a
knife. II has taken the jokers two days
10 convince their victim that they only
Ned him up for little innocent fun.
