City Accountant Mccarthy said that
in his report he made no charges or "
regularity against the company, Out
thought, on an. opinion from the City
Attorney, that the franchise required the
payment Of 8 IL per cent. on the hrst
s2G0,0o0 Of gross earnings, and per cent.
on every 100000 over that, and by gross
earnings he understood that the entire
amount Of earnings was meant. Under
this construction the amount due the city
is something like $500.
The appropriation of s14.500 that has

sought for long time. The
construction Of this main Will re-

Alderman John NJ. King, Of Jefferson

has called the committee to inquire into
the advisability of removing the Rich

The action Of the Common Council In
electing trustees for the proposed Car
inegie Library Board, who are opposed
to the Pollock plan. is said by many
members OF Council to mean the abso-
lutte defeat OF the library proposition.
Those who voted for Messrs. Caske,
Bloomberg and Mccarthy on that occa-
sion, are opposed to the insertion of pol
itics into tho library proposition. The
Pollock plan places it In politics, by put
ting control Of the Board of Trustees III
the hands of Council by a majority Of
5 to 4. In electing trustees opposed to
the plan, the Council simply smashed the
Pollock plan. When the question of ap-
preparation comes up, that, too. will be
smashed and then those who have killed
the Pollock plan will be In position to
do some planning themselves, and 1t IS
likely that the Caskie resolution will be
introduced. II the vote that developed
on Monday night be maintained, the
Caskie faction will have more than a
two-lhirds vote. which Will enable them
to pass the appropriation. and thus have
the library free from politics.
It Is said. however. bv some Of the
anti-Caskie resolution people, that the
vote will not develop again. and that the
library proposition Is dead. so far as an
appropriation is concerned.

with cruelty to natives Of Tayabss

admitted the specifications and took
exceptions only to the words "unlaW-

Justification under general order
number 100, because OF the alarming
conditions in the province, and finally
because OF a special telegraph order
from Gen. ChatIee to locate Caballes
regardless OF measures necessary. He
disclalmed any desire in the last plea
to shift responsibility but offered 1t
10 evidence Of the military necessity
of his measures. Everybody here
will be glad to know that he was
entirely %exonerated, and that it was
shown 10 the trial that the complaint
did not come from the natives but
from a fellow officer with whom Lieut..
Hickman was unfriendly.

SIR WALTER SCOTS COUNTRY.
We have scarcely space in this letter
TO speak Of a visit to Abbotsford and
Melrose Abbey and Dryburgh Abbey.
Abbotsford is the charming house
which Scott built for himself upon the
banks of the Tweed. His rooms are
shown unaltered. Melrose Abbey is
the most imposing ruin in Scotland,
while Dry burgh Abbey, also IN ruins,
a most attractive place, holds the

in the neighborhood has some reminder
Of the great novelist. A visit here
formed a fitting conclusion to a scamper
through Scotland, a rather ~undignlied
title for a pilgrimage through the
country of a very dignifed people.
We have always held the Scotch in
esteem and this httle journey through
Scotland has deepened our admiration
for them.
When a Virginian, proud of bis
residence in the state which was the
mother Of presidents, was asked what
such barren mountains could produce
ho was prompt with his reply s'They

Highlands may not grow much else In

Villas on National Issaes.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 21-Wnliam
F. Villas speaking of the trust evil, Mr..
Villas said:
The people aim their stroke at
the root Of the poisonous tree. 1t IS
idle to complain of mere incidents, to
merely attack particular evils, to begin
lawsuits against some special conspir-
acy. The victory to be won, which
alone is worth winning, is the over
throw OF the grand central, governing
conspiracy OF protection.
Not at once can all national wrongs
be redressed, and those borne by our
conntrymen must challenge first relief.
| fear distraction. Protection is quick
to profit by it. Its shrewd counsels
have fomented war, have set the
nation in quest of military glory
and find its account in the con-
trovefsy over imperialism. We
may justly hold protection itself
responsible for these conditions; it
will crafty keep agitation Of such
questions alive, and We may be sure
also, as the careful observer cannot
but see the fact nov to be, that it will
prevent array Of parties on any issue
arising from them that may lmperil its
own party strength.

The Lafayette County FAIR, Sept, 2-5
We are in receipt of a catalogue OF
the Lafayette county fair, neatly priu-
ted by the Leader. This is a county
institution designed to advertise the
resources of the county especially in
respect to its live stock and agricultural
industries, and it should receive the
hearty support of every citizen.
County fairs promote social intercourse
between different sections, bring about
a comparison of merit between the
products of the most e~nterprising
farmers and stock men, and conduce
to a healthy rivalry in the occupation
upon which the wealth and happiness
of the counties most depend.
Upon reading the catalogue it will be
found that every foreseen condition Of
success has been complied with. The
premium list is long and liberal, the
payment Of the premiums is guaranteed
by a bond of sixty of the best citizens
Of the county, the rules and regulations
are liberal to the honest exhibitors,
and are designed only to shut out
quacks and scoundrels. To the far
mer and stock man, there is a high
educational value in Che county fair.
1t promotes interest and pride in their
work. 1t especially impresses young
people with the dignity and value Of
occupations which they are too likely
to underrate. Let every farmer in The
county get a catalogue, become an ex-
hlbItor, if he can, and at least con-
tribute to his own enthusiasm aud to
the success of the fair by his presence.
