The Levy Court met Tuesday. all the
members being present, and President
William A. Scott in the chair. Tax
collectors from different hundreds were
present and returns for June were made
to the county treasurer. Their terms
expire with the month"; sGE
The court will go over the collectors
accounts and will ascertain the amount
of errors to be allowed. MIR. Scott,
who is chairman OF the committee on
the collectors, says shat many OF the
errors allowed are for small accounts
scattered through the county in cases
where horse or COW is assessed to a
man. He does not pay the tax and to
use legal means to secure it would be
of little use. Other errors arise from o
duplication of items.
A recess was taken until 2 O'Clock.

An official statement concerning the
financial condition Of Italy was made
by Signor Boseli. the Minister in
charge Of the Treasury. He said that
the current financial year would close
on the 30th inst, with surplus of
about 100000 This sum, however,
could not suffice to assure equilibrium
between revenue and expenditure
unless real economies were effected.
new expenses avoided, and actual ex-
penses vigorously controlled. Severe
and prudent administration of the
national finances was Imperative, mas
much as the country was unable to
support new fiscal burdens. He was
able to report some signs of economic
development. improvement was OBJ
servable in certain departments of
national industry, aud Italy was pre-
pared to invest capital accumulated
during recent years. In the savings
banks alone there were nov S4i0, 600, 900
ON deposit. The two chief dangers
which threatened italian prosperity
were speculation and incautious ad-
ministration OF the Treasury. The
present financial condition might be
called satisfactory, there being cash
balance more than sufficient for cur
rent needs. Signor Boseli' s statement
was received with great enthusiasm, 10
spite Of the many "orafty qualihca
tionsr attending his declaration Of
national solvency. 4ttE"

West Chester, Pa, June 26. The
death of OK Congressman Smedley Oar
lington, Saturday, removes notable
figure from the politics of Chester
county. For period of five years he
was the undisputed boss of the Repub-
lican party Of Chester county. and dur
ing that time it was utterly impossible
for any one to obtain office without
first having received his sanction. His
two Congressional campaigns, first in
1886 and the second in 1888, when he
defeated the late James B. Everhart,
were the most desperate political
battles ever fought in the Sixth dis
trict, and the division of the Republic
can party Of the county. existing to-
day, dates from that time. 1t is said
ON reliable authority that his two Con-
gressional campaigns cost him 800, 600,
but as he was making at that time
$50, 600 year, he could easily afford it.
After his retirement from Congress in
1890 he lost control of the organization
and as political factor dropped out OF
sight, particularly. after the failure Of
his trust company. His last appear
ancU in politics was in 1896, when he
was chosen delegate to the Republican
National Convention. He was the
father law of the present Congress
man, Thomas S. Butler, -

from me to detract from the service

superior to any which has existed
heretofore; and with this new type
will come higher civilization thar
any which has preceded it. Greal
has been the Greek, the Latin, the

Anglo Saxon, but greater than any
OF these is the American, in whom
are blended the virtues of them all
Civil and religious liberty, uni

participate, directly or through rep
resentatlves chosen by themselves,
in all the affairs of the government
- these give to the American ciii-

tion which can be found nowhere
else.
Standing upon the vantage
ground already gained, the Ameri-

destiny than has opened before aLy
other race.
