DAUGHTERS STIRRED.

The Daughters of the American Revo- lution are described as being in a state of mind because the State department refuses to have dies cut showing both sides of the Great Seal of the United States. The members of this society say that it is a national disgrace that the reverse side of the Great Seal is not shown on state papers as well as the obyerse side. Consequently several chapters of the Daughters have peti- toned Congress to direct the State department to have die prepared that will make impressions of both sides of the seal. A year or so ago Congress appropriated $1,200 to defray the expense of cutting a new die of the Great Seal. It is charged that the department was at that time directed to reproduce the entire seal as origin ally designed by Thomas Jefferson, Ben- jamin Franklin and other patriots in 1776. However that may be, the de- partment had but one cut made, being a repetition of the seal as used since it was adopted.
 The Daughters of the American Revo- lution make the point that unless the reverse side is cut it will never be known that the seal as designed had two sides. Five seals have been cut since the adoption of the design, but in none of them is the reverse side shown.

The Daughters want a second appropri- ation of sl.20O made for the prepara- ton of a die that will portray the side that has remained hidden for nearly a century and a quarter. It is proposed that both impressions be used on all papers that require the approval of the United States Senate.
 The Daughters are right. as usual. All the greatness of a Great Seal should be shown.

French engineers think it will soon be necessary to remove the Eiffel Tower from the Champs de Mars. The con- cession for the structure will not expire until 1910, but the tower has leaned so far out of plumb that a slight increase in the depression at one side of it's foundation will place the center of gravity outside it's base.

In the iionr of Defeat.

The well-dressed preacher cannot give
 The solace that crave to-day; He may advise me how to live
 And seek to clear my doubts away; He may be eloquent and wise
 And goodness may within him dwell, But still my heart in sadness cries For comfort, even as he sigks:
 God knoweth best and doeth well. He cannot give me solaee who
 Is standing high in mems regard, Who has achieved what great men do
 By trying oft and toiling hard: He blandly tells me to be strong
 And cries: Work on and hope and wait. But wealth and fame to him belong, And I still struggle in the throng,
 Defeated and disconsolate. I come to you, o lOwly one,
 Who still must toll and still obey To you who have not nobly done
 The splendid things and never may 1 come to you who, having tried
 And having often missed the goal Can stil. be brave and still have pride: 0 teach me to cast doubt aside
 And still keep hope within my soul. -S .E. Riser. in Chicago Record Herald.

Berand Vet. of The Hague had re- gently the misfortune to call a constable "a monkey. an accusation which local paper pointed out as being, of course, untrue" and which. moreover, is a form of untruth not permitted in Holland. Vet was arrested and brought bfeore the judge on charge of insulting the police being sentenced to forty-flve days imprisonment. Before being re- moved he turned to address the court, Then l musn't call a constable a mon- key?" he said. Certainly not; you must not insult the police" The culprit reflected. May call monkey a con- stable?" he asked, with a flash of gen. jus The judge shrugged his shoulders, and. holding no brief for the animal, re- piled, If it gives you any satisfaction. ; With a smile of qualification Vet turned on his heel in the dock and bowed to his prosecutor. Good day, constable" he said.

How much the wages of miners have been increased throughout the United States is brought out in Edward w. Parker's annual report in the volume os Mineral Resources for 1902, which is soon to be issued by the United States Geological Survey. The average price at the mine for ton of anthracite coal of 2.O00 pounds throughout the United States was $1.41 in 1898, $1. .46 in 1889. s1. .4e in 1900. $1.67 in 1901, and sl.96 in 1902. This shows an increase of over 39 per cent. within the last five years. A still larger percentage of increase is shown in the price of bituminous coal througb- out the country. A short ton of bitu- llinous coal brought an average price at the mine of 80 cents in 1898. ST cents in 1899. $1.04 in 1900. $1.05 ill 1901. and SLIP in 1902. This represents an increase of 40 per cent. in five years. In 1902. 1,951 mine workers were killed and 3.43s were injured. in the whole country.

At the polls next Monday the voters
of Ellsworth will have an opportunity
to approve or disapprove of the work
done by the municipal officers who
have had charge of it's affairs during
the past twelve months.
That they were not satisfied with
the three preceding years was strik-
ingly evident at the election last
March, when the republicans made a
clean sweep, electing their entire
ticket from top to bottom. Naturally
some tangible results were expected
to follow such complete turnover,
and it is gratifying to be able to state
that comparison of the work of the
present administration with that of
its predecessors of the three previous
years shows up so favorably.
The board started out on the theory
that a larger percentage of back taxes
could be collected than is usual, and
emphatically declared that it should
be.
1t accordingly reduced appropria-
tions to the lowest possible limit, rely
ing on the results of a vigorous cam
paign of tax collecting to take care
of possible overdrafts on any of the
many funds that have such large
"paper balances" to their credit.
The results show how admirably
these theories have worked in prac-
tiee. The appropriations (less the
1900 allowed for discount on taxes
were $40, 1921, against SAC, sos. 81 in
1902. s4s, As in 1901, and $40, 4ss. O9
in 1900.
The tax rate was reduced to s2.1O
on the 500 Subject to discount of
per cent, which actually brought The
rate down to fraction under So
against 50 80 in 1902, $40 in 1901 and
S2.45 in 1900. The rate for 1908 was
the lowest in the history of the city
for the past generation.
The work of the tax collector for
1908 has surpassed that of any col
lector for years. The percentage oil
the current years uncollected taxes
is smaller than for decade. Under
the stimulus of the present board, the
special collector, who was given in
charge all unpaid taxes back of 1908
has done extraordinary work, and the
appalling total of nearly s33, 900 "a
legacy of previous administrations
of uncoilected taxes was reduced to Q
trifle under $4,000. To this, Of

The Ticket.

Mayor Hagerthy, ably assisted by
the board of aldermen, has given Els
worth a clean, prudent and economi
cal administration. He deserves re-
election, and we believe he will secure
it.
Three of the present excellent board
-Messrs. Trip, Mccarthy and Austin
have been renominated.
In ward 2, Frank r. Moore has been
nominated; while without previous
experience in municipal affairs, he is
known to be a thoroughly right
minded and public spirited citizen.
In ward 4 George w. Patten, who
has previously represented his ward
On the board, has been put in nomina
ton.
1t would be hard to name a ticket
better qualified by experience and
known business qualifications into
whose hands the affairs OF this good
city of ours could for the coming year
better be entrusted.

course, must be added the uncollected
taxes of the current year, about 5000
After meeting all extraordinary ex-
penses from the collection of back
taxes, the board, at the close of its
FIRST years work, is able to show
clean slate-all bills paid, the city debt
reduced 81, $50, cash in the treasury of
81 $50, and 81, 12s due from the State.
And right here it may be well to call
attention to the fact that besides the
sum still due from the State, s315 has
been collected for soldiers burials
paid by the city in 1912, for which
no claim had been made by the adj
ministration of those years.
Another matter which has cost the
city dear: This administration has had
to pay si01 on account of deg licenses
for 1902; ss5 was paid by the admins
tration OF 1902, and s203 by that of 1901
a total OF $3.50 which has been for
feited to the State through the neglect
of not being paid at the proper time.
During two of the three years of
democratic rule, the city debt was not
reduced cent, and during the third
only SO, 6I2 63-which, by the way, they
forgot to charge to any fund, thus
making last years statement of bal
ances incorrect by that amount.
Considerable talk is being made
over alleged extravaganza on the
highways, and that we are really pay
ing two commissioners instead of one.
The inaccuracy of this talk is seen
from the fact that the sum paid for the
supervision of the streets amounts to
10 more than was annually paid the
street commissioner of the three pre-
vious years, as may easily be seen
from an inspection of the road rolls.
And as to the money spent on the
highways. Not many can be found
who will deny that on the whole the
streets have been in better condition
during the last year than during any
of the three preceding years. Yet
the expenditures on the highways this
year have been only "a, 432 30; in 1902
they were s5,0s7 80; in 1901, So, 039 so,
and in 1900, s5,015.l5.
More crushed rock road has been
built than in any previous year, and at
less cost per rod.
Owing to the condition of the side
walks, much new work had to be done,
and has been well done.
The building of sidewalk to Wood
bine and Mount Calvary cemeteries has
been loudly called for for years 1t
has been built this year, and has met
with universal approval.
The democrats may be able, IL they
are permitted again to assume the
reins of our city government, to make
a better showing than this, but during
their recent three years Of undisputed
sway, they did not do it's and there
seems to be no good reason for be-
lieving that they would if again re-
turned to power.
Would the tax payers prefer the
improvements made this year for
which no money was appropriated to
that frightful list of uncollected taxes,
heretofore used as an asset only?
