This is what the Daily Republican
had to say yesterday:
The Evening Journal, which is
steadily edging uD to Democracy,
breaches a homily upon our rather
brutal comparison OF the two part

affair Of the local justices Of the
peace. II strikes us uDon second

way of putting IL.
We are pleased at this admission.
The Republican admits that its COM
parison was brutal" and says that on
second thought it thinks it was about
right Now brutal" means to be like
brute. and that is very informing anC
gives us to understand what may be
expected in this contest.
There isn't much in the argument o
our brutal friend that is worth an

TARS SHED TEARS

Parting Between Crews Of Vermont
and lie Lion Impressive.
The parting between the Italian seafar-
ers. who were rescued from watery
grave by the French steamship LeLion,
and the crew Of that vessel yesterday at
Marcus Hook was impressive. The cap
eain Of the Italian bark threw his arms
about the neck Of the LeLion's first officer
and with tears streaming down his face
kissed him.
All who witnessed the parting were vis-
ibly affected and tears flowed down the
cheeks Of the weather beaten faces OF the
tars as they wished each other farewell.

However guilty the Russian govern

That is pretty good evidence that Rus

stigma Of having abetted the mob. III

our mobs take the law into their own

COLLECTIONS SMALL

Business Men Say They canno Get
in Money.
There is a general complaint among To-
cal business men who do a credit business
over the unusually small collections. July
and august, they say, THE collections are
always smaller than at any other time
during the year and It often makes them
scratch TO pay their employees.
There are several reasons advanced for
the small collections during the summer
months. one is that many persons are
out Of the city. but the most principal
cause as that taxes. water rent and other
bills that have to be met fall due about
July !. Persons owning property paid
out all their ready cash for taxes and it Is
said that sometimes business men, who
do not have an extensive credit, even
nave TO go 10 the extreme of pawning
their jewelry to meet their pay roll.

THE DEPARTMENT or COMMERCE.

President Washington started in with but two or three
secretaries These becoming known cabinet officials
increasing in number have long been heads of de-

that the department will be troubled lack of occupa
