Sidewalk Surgery.

Butch" Glennon, the one-eyed beg
gar whose stamping ground is Wash
ington Square, slipped on a banana
peel in front of the Eighth street en-
trance to the Pennsylvania Hospital
yesterday morning and rolled into the
gutter, says the Philadelphia North
American.
Glennon foundered about, vainly es-
saying to rise. He cursed volubly and
attracted a small group of pedestrians.
Get up, what's the matter with
you?" asked one of the onlookers.
II can't; me legs broke" replied
Glennon.
ooh, the poor man, someone help
him into the hospital said woman.
Hospital furdge," retorted Glennon
(only he didn't say "fudge"). ITS me
wooden leg" Pursued by the beggar's
Incorporate language, the woman fled
in dismay.
One of the hospital attendants came
to the scene. Glennon's plight excited
his pity.
Hey" cried the hispital man to a
companion, send for George. Tell him
to bring his tools along"
Inside of five minutes George Nixon,
the official carpenter of the hospital
arrived. He bore with him a plane,
saw, hammer some screws, a
screwdriver and few bits of board.
Turning Glennon over on his back
and placing him under the influence of
two square inches of plug tobacco, Nix
on proceeded to operate upon the wood
en- leg. He reduced the fracture, sat
urated the broken ends with glue
screwed two wooden splints upon the
sides and tackled on a piece of rubber
to prevent Glennon from slipping
again.
TIA anks, Jack" said Glennon
scrambling to his foot, and then he laid
course down Spruce street for Wash
ington Square.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register (Dem)
says: THAT speech of Mr.. Cleve-
lands which was so gladly welcomed
and greatly applauded the other day
by Democrats all over the country,
was the same speech he made at the
beginning of his career as President.
There was not a new phrase in it.
Some speaker said recently that the
Clevelandites have come back to the
party, but does it not appear that
the party has come back to Cleve-
land?"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
CDem.) says: "All the money which is
required to support the government
economically administered can be rails
ed on a single scale of internal and
Custom House duties, embracing not
exceeding twenty single specific items.
AS long as it is assumed that impost
duties are to be laid to foster any pri-
vate interest we shall have a protec-
Zionist lobby at Washington with its
attendant train of corruptionists and
their attorneys, both in and out of
Congress-"
The Philadelphia North American
(Rep) thus comments on the logic
VI OhC NOlCEs WHICH was CNldGAltAJ
plicated in the cases of many others:
Because Grover Cleveland made a
speech about the tariff, Henry Carey
Baird has made up what he calls his
mind that it is absolutely necessary
for him to vote for Pennypaeker. Mr..
Baird says Cleveland is entirely ignor-
ant of the tariff, and in order to EN-
phasize his disapproval of the crude
ness of that ignorant persons ideas
he will vote to leave Pennsylvania at
the mercy of gang of hooters. Mr..
Baird's logic is an awesome thing"
The Atlanta Constitution (Dem.)
says: 1.-THE Savannah News heartily
commends the purpose of the bill in
troduced by Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall
of Chatham, to throw around the white
primaries all the legal safeguard and
apply the like penalties that belong
to our regular, elections. The other
presses of the state, we doubt rot,
viii join in the demand for the en-
actment of the bill The primaries
should be given the legal status that
Is proposed in Mr.. Stovalps bill and
every patriotic citizen will hope that
II the bill becomes law il will contain
such provisions as Will establish its
adequacy and fairness in the mind OF
ever voter in the commonwealth"

The terrible explosion In Madison
square, New York, on election night,
by which twelve persons were killed
and number of others more or less
seriously injured, could hardly have
been other than the result of criminal
carelessness. 1t was well known that
dangerous explosives were to be used
IN connection with the fireworks dis
play, and every possible precautjon
should have been employed to insure
safety. 1t appears, however. that SAFE
guards were either wholly lacking or
wholly inefficient, since the explosion
of one mortar was followed by the ex-
plosion of the whole lot. Thirty thou
sand people had assembled in the
square for the purpose of Witnessing a
free show. 1t was somebody's advertis-
ing scheme. The receiving of the cleo
ton returns was the occasion for the
demonstration, the underlying purpose
of which, however, was to advertise
something or somebody. That is a wav
they have of doing things in New York.
The prospective free display OF fire.
works drew the people together in a
packed mass; and then the series of
explosions occurred followed by manic
and death. There ought to be a lesson
in the occurrence for the New York
authorities, but 1t will not be learned
by them. On next election night there
win be other stereopticons and NOV
ing pictures and fireworks displays in
the squares. and the people will be
packed about them just as they were
Tuesday night.

Herbert Spencer is poking fun at
the vegetarians of England and has
taken them completely by surprise. in
asmuch as vegetarian faddists Thought
they could claim the philosopher as one
OF their own. Mr.. Spencer does not
apparently think highly of the mental
state produced by year of vegetable
diet He said recently: II went over
all that l had written during the year
I practiced vegetarianism and couslgn-
ed Il all TO the fire" Since then he
has been saying some faeetious things
about the "devotees OF the truck gar
den," as he calls the vegetarians.

Money That Wouldn't Go.

You would not believe that cleanli-
ness could be positive business draw
back, would you?" says the Free Press.
Il had to come in here just now to
get rid Of some clean money-'1lthy
lucre' is the only popular variety Yes
terday / had Docketful of silver
money, mostly dollars, and looking
them over decided that they were too
soiled to be pleasant, so, in the even
ing, at home, my wife got her am
monia bottle, and we rubbed and pol
ished them all to a bright and beauti-
full condition. / gave some to her and
put the rest back into my own pocket.
We'll, sir, during the day we both
had the same experience with that
clean money. The butcher and the
baker objected to taking it from my
wife. They said it might be all right,
but it looked too bright to suit them
1t looked exactly like counterfeit
money. She explained that we had
cleaned the dollars with ammonia, but,
as they still seemed dubious about ac-
cepting the shining metal, she paid her
bills with paper dollars, and came home
very indignant.
ION the street cars the conductor to
whom 1 gave a bright dollar rendered
Il back to me, saying he had to be
very particular, and didn't like the
looks of the coin. I had forgotten
that it had been cleaned: but 1 found
soiled half dollar in my pocket,
which he briskly accepted and chang
ed for me. At the cigar shop the
young man looked at my new dollar,
rang it on the counter and said it
sounded all right, but that the boss
would take it out of his pay if it
wasn't good, so he guessed I'd better
keep it. The ticket man at the car
station served me the same way, and
1 had to hunt up a dingy quarter for
him.
You don't wonder that 1 had to
come to the bank to unload that clean
money, do you? Bright coin won't al
ways pass in this commercial world; ;
it looks too good to be true

Berks county, Pennsylvania, is in the
midst of an animated discussion of
what is called the culture epoch the
ory," which was sprung upon the un-
suspecting community last week by
Prof. Deatrick at a teachers institute.
Leading subjects discussed by Prof.
Deatrick, and which the county has
follows: "Are worms afraid?" "Can
birds count?' "Are fish jealous?" "Can
you learn arithmetic by smell?" These
questions, the professor asserted, sug-
gest the culture epoch theory and have
direct bearing upon our civilization.
And now the Berks county people are
busy at trying to find the answer.

TAX EXEMPTIONS.

The action of the House Committee
on Constitutional Amendments in IA
vor of a constitutional amendment ex-
empting the property of churches,
schools and colleges from taxation viii
meet with very general approval. The
sentiment in favor of exempting such
property from taxation has been stead
lily growing stronger. and If the
amendment is submitted to a popular
vote it will be approved by large
majority. One reason why so little has
been given to the colleges in this state
is that college property is taxed. In
these times when it is difficult to get
a good investment that pays more than
three and a half per cent. pretty near
ly the income from stocks and bonds
is taken for taxes. An endowment of
a $780, 900 therefore yields very little
to the school or college that has it.
The amendment ought to be amend
ed so as to include the property of
these societies which support orphan
homes. They are sustained mainly by
the donations of charitable people.
Such for instance is the Union Society
of this city, which for so many years
has maintained the orphanage at Be
thesda. This society has a considerable
amount of property from the donations
it has received during so many years
of it's existence, all of which is taxed
by the state.
1t is only by the closest economy and
the liberality OF its friends that the
society is able to keep the orphanage
going. The demands upon its charity
are very great, and sometimes it looks
as if it would not be possible to meet
them as fully as they ought to be met.
Surely the property of such a charity
as this ought to be exempt from tax
alton if any property is exempt. No
church or college does more good than
it does, and no other institution does
more to make good citizens out of pen
niless orphans or the children of pow
erty-stricken parents.
No doubt the House Committee on
Amendments will change the proposed
amendment so as to include the prop
erty of this class of charitable institu-
tions when it's attention is called to
the needs of the Bethesda institution.

There is a wide spread impression
that silver dollars are not legal ten
der if the amount rendered is more
than IS. 1t seems that this impression
is erroneous. Stephen Baldwin of Oak
land, Mich, rendered Fred A. Baker
Of that place $500 in payment of a
promissory note secured by a mort
gage. The tender was refused on the
ground that the legal tender provision
Of the act Of 1873 was unconstitutional.
Baldwin brought suit to compel the
acceptance of the tender. He won in
al of the lower courts and Baker car
ried the case to the United States Su-
preme Court. That tribunal dismissed
the writ of error on the ground that
no Federal question was involved but
the dismissal of the writ left the de-
cision Of the lower court in force. This
action was, IN effect. an affirmation OF
that decision. Therefore silver dollars
In any amount are legal tender.

Mr.. Kent of Johnson introduced a
bin to make it a misdemeanor to sell
or carry any pistol in this state which
is less than eighteen inches long or
weighs less than seven pounds" says
our legislative special of yesterday.
Such opera bouffe legislation ought to
be left to South Carolina. We have no
need for it in this state. South Caro-
Iina's new pistol law, from which Mr..
Kent's bill was modelled, is regarded
as nothing so much as a joke. Peo-
pie laugh at it and disregard it, be-
cause it is ridiculous. 1t probably has
not had the effect of reducing pistol
toting by even one pistol. What is
needed is not freak laws against the
reprehensible practice. but the rigid
enforcement of the laws that are al
ready on the statute books.

The two squadrons Of the navy that
are to perform evolutions in West In
dian waters shortly are to be in those
waters at Christmas. and it got noised
about among the sailors that they
would be made to work just as hard
during the holidays as any other time.
That spoiled their tempers; got them
in such bad humor, indeed, that the de-
partment was brought to see the neces-
sity of pacifying them in some manner.
And Admiral Dewey has been selected
as the pacifcator. Already he has be-
gun his work. in a manner which will
no doubt tend to increase his popular
ity among the men. He has decided
that there shall be no work on the
fleet during Christmas week further
than Is absolutely necessary; that every
ship shall be in some port during the
week, and that every man Jack shall
have as much shore leave as it is pos
sible to give hon. 1t is even said that
the Admiral mas decided that the ships
bands shall muster at the rail and
play. "There'll be a Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight" as the sailors
