present methods is as follows:

The Increase Of expenditures for the
last period Of five years over the first
period was $74,094,005. Out of this
it IS said that at least $25,000,000 have
been divided among the spoilsmen.
During these last periods it must be
borne in mind that the revenues have
increased at the rate Of 127 Ito per
cent and the expenditures at the rate
of 1O4 210 per cent.
A comparison of the expenses of
the city for 1887-the last year under
the old government-with 1908, with
out considering police, fire, education
or departments or bureaus where
there have been no exceptional in
creases in the accounts of salaries and
wages shows eighteen departments
and bureaus where there have been
some startling advances. Salaries and
wages of city employees aggregated in
1887 $9S7,O79. In 1903 they will ag-
gregate $2,477,241, an increase Of
$1.49O,162.
The tax rate for the last few years
has been s1.S5 on the $1O0. This year
it has been reduced to $3.50, but with
in the last few days, when the. revalu
ations have been made, the property
owner has realized that the so-called
cut was a delusion and a snare. Ex-
cept in few favorable cases, real
estate valuations have been jumped to
result is the worst squeeze that the
taxpayers Of Philadelphia has ever
known. The railroads alone of the
property owners in the business dis
trict Of the city have escaped the gen
eral hold-up. The big red office build
ing on the west side of Penn square,
owned by the Pennsylvania railroad,
and known as the Broad Street sta
ton, was assessed at only $4,000, ,OO0
AS the valuation was formerly $780,
900 under the old rate, the new as
sessment will mean a decrease in an
ffual taxes for 1904 of $1,000. The
Philadelphia and Reading road is
equally as fortunate in keeping down
the assessment on it's terminal build
ing at Twelfth and Market streets.

LONDON TRUTH SCORES RICH
AMERICAN NIAIDENs.
London Society Now Made the Field
of Their "Barbaric L;awlessness,''
Vulgar Ostentation Now Getting
into the London Smart Set.

London, Dec. 22.-Truth, in the
course of a cynical article dealing
with the capture of famous titles by
American women, says: Il am sur
prised that home producers of girls
have not already approached Cham
berlain and begged him to include in
his scheme some arrangement to ex-
clude from our shores the dumping
of American girls. The latter COM
pete with our. home market, under
nlost unfair conditions. Their parents
by means of trusts and such like per-
niclous associations are able to give
their daughters vast sums Of money,
and in this way they are able to
compete unfairly for the best home
customer in the matrimonial market.
It may be said our nation profits be-
cause these wealthy girls spend the
money with which they are freighted
in England.
1.-The benefit, however, is question
able.
ALREADY there is a vast amount
Of vulgar ostentation in the so-called
smart London set, owing to- the i'm
portation of colonial .millionaires
which raises the standard of fash
ionable existence and lowers and de-
grades the tone of that society into
which so many aspire to enter to
the despicable level of the competing
plutocrats Of Newport and New York.
This can only increase If we are to
have American golden girls who be-

Brooklyn Eagle.

The most amazing story of munich
pal corruption in the history of polit-
ically polluted cities is unfolded by an
investigation into the affairs of Phila-
delphia, whose organized gang Of
grafters is now openly plotting to
pass a $25,0O0,000 loan bill in order
that they may divide $10,OOO,OOO in
plunder out Of it.
The recent hue and cry of ''Stop
theft" against the gang is but an in
cident in the every day life. Of Phila-
delphia. 1t has become such COM
mon occurrence that the local news
papers regard it as unimportant from
a news viewpoint. AS for the people
they smile complacently when one
mentions to them that their city is
graft-ridden as no other city on the
face of.the earth was ever graft-ridden
before.
But back of it all is an appalling, a
shameful story of boodling, crime and
vice. Tt is such a story that the
methods of New York grafters of the
past fade to petit larceny in compari-
son with it. 1t is a story with such
revolving details of authorized vice
that the worst sections Of the old Red
Light district in Gotham appear like
semblies when compared with the
white slavery instituted maintained
and protected by city officials in the
Quaker city.
New York's robbers stole by the
hundred thousands. Philadelphia S
bandits loot in job lots of million.
Before the passage of the registra-
ton law the New York election steal
ers voted thousands Of fictitious
names. In Philadelphia the gang casts
the ballots for legitimate voters and
when they come to the polls cody
tells them that they have been voted.
The Philadelphia ring openly boasts
that it can east $4,000 fraudulent
votes on any proposition it wants
pushed thru. It laughs at the laws,
because it makes the laws, and it
laughs at the people, because it has
disfranchised them. It elects its mayor
and it's city officials It appoints its
policemen, every one Of whom is a
politician and a member of the ring.
It gives free license to an army OF
gamblers and vice panderers. Polling
places are held in disreputable houses
and the captains and bulldozers at the
polls are skin gam blers, the pro-
prietors of speak easies,'' dive keep
ers and jaiIbirds. 5

up to 25,000,000 or more are nothing
new. Some of the most conservative
been and are now in position to
know, estimate that in the last five
years the grafters have stolen at a low
estimate fully as much as the amount
they are now reaching for. That the
city treasury has. been looted of enor-
nous sums is shown by a glance at
the reports Of the controller for sew

Hundred.

Dewitt vanarsdall, who is in charge Of Colonel
was in town Saturday and tho rather late in
season for snake stories, tells that is
out Of the ordinary. The mine entry is being
driven in the side Of cliff about fifty feet be-
low old shaft, sunk half century ago by
miners in quest OF silver. A few days ago
they reached the old shaft and there surprise
awaited them. The bottom of it was covered
with snakes Of all kinds-yipers, moccasins cop
perheads, blacksnakes and other varieties more or
less venomous. The reptiles resented the in
trusion, and it was only after a pretty lively
fight that they were killed. At first the work
men thought that the snakes had gathered there
to hibernate, but an investigation showed that
all had fallen into the pit and had no way. to
escape. Many of them had been there for years
and had fed on the quantities of toads rabbits
and mice that shared their misfortune of falling
into the old shaft. but not into congenial COM
pany, as did the snakes.

Northern Pacific officials deny the tes-

tract prohibiting the company from taxi
ing freight from tramp ships. They assert
that while the company has no exclusive
contract and no agreement beyond df-
vision Of freight and on rates from the
orient, it is general practice with COM
panies engaged in their business to make
concessions with fixed and established
lines, with regular schedules of sailings
and with regular dockage facilities, rather
than with transient companies. mostly
foreign, which happen to pick up cargo
and have no regular business.
