year. The diet railroad , had entered only the year before, aud it waa alone. The town vaa in a condition to pay for the accession of such improvements as a telegraph line rather than levy revenue from it. There haa been a change ainee. We have a doaen sources of expense now to one we had then. Our largest outlays now arise from municipal provisions that would have been aa astounding then as a provision for a Gay Fawkes procession. There was not even a fire cistern in the city then, and the two or three big “fire wells” that preceded cisterns did not eome till the telegraph was as familiar as the mud on Meridian street. Now we count them by hundreds. The revenue then was all raised by taxation on real find personal property. It is all raised the same way now. We submit that this ia hot fair. We maintain that a city of 80,000 inhabitants, with all the expenses of manifold municipal provisions for safety and convenience, is en a different level and ought to bo governed by different considerations from those that were apt and just in a town of 6,C00 inhabitants with no proper city expenses at all. The precedents set by the country village just budded into a city government, ire no more applicable to the city of 80,000 people than the clothes of the boy to the grown man. The man rightly “pats away childish things,” says the Apostle. This city may as rightfully put aside village precedents. So far as the beneficiary of the concession is concerned the city must keep faith for the village, and leave its rights undisturbed. But that is ne reason that similar concessions should be made a whole generation afterwards and in a condition of things as little dreamed of then as the city’s extinction by an earthquake. We need a revenue now out of all proportion to population larger than we did in ’48.' We need it for very many more purposes than it was needed then. And a foolish adherence to an inapplicable precedent compels ns to raise it exactly in the same way now, upon the same property, by the same agencies. We insist that with the vast change of condition has eome a right

supreme court should

never be troubled with a case that does not to change both means and mode of raising

revenue. Other cities have made the change. Chicago levies$50 a year on each street car. Kansas City levies $100 a year on each saloon. Other cities levy tribute from telephone and telegraph companies, agy every city should do, for they make obstruction of public necessities for their own profit. It is no excuse, it is an aggravation of folly to say that we didn’t make the telegraph line pay us thirty-four years ago for the privilege of coming into the city. It was no obstruction then. It is now. That is a final answer, and the same answer will meet every objection to special taxation of public obstructions and annoyance. To refuse to tax them is simply to throw away handy money that we need for the purpose of doubly burdening business

nd property.

In England they deal with moa wverity ead certainty with such honoraHe criminals. Two managers of the iastfrariimientary election in Macclesfield, oneef the liberal*, the other of the con•entotives, the one Mr. Hair the other Mr. Nero found guilty of buying votes—e common form of election abuse land than here—and, aays a recent “they were among tho little knot of men who were aeen, hand-cuffed, way to a felon’s prison on the 2d of Mis month.” Most respectable lawyen, pary managers, are sent with other scoundrels in knots of hand-cuffed crime to tie penitentiary for such a little thing as buying votes! We have donea little of that thing on this side of the Atlantic,

Mr. Gottel is now about fifty veon

Some of them—such as that of the master of the horse, for which £10,000 per annum is allowed—always hkve to borrow from the other department*, or from the privy purae. Although the court does not entertain largely, the mise en-scene is pretty mut-h the same as if ; it did. The queen really does not pat by as much as £20,000 per annum on an average of years. She has always given, I believe, £100,000 to each of her daughters who has married, and this has drained her savings. What He Bald.

Not Alone in Philadelphia.

(New York Bnn.1 j..

In a rural district of Upper Austria a youthful poet and improvisator has just been discovered, and ordered by the authorities to be locked np forthwith for singing satirical improvisations on the delicate subject of over-taxation. Fori several weeks the intelligent lad had been going from one market place to another, delivering his rhymes to the astonished peasants. There is a noble opening for thie practical genius in Philadelphia and other cities of

this continent. Let him etnigrute. Iteneflttod AgaSnut His will.

Ope hundred and seventy years Emperor Joseph I. of Germany died; from sm&Jlpox in spite, or rather because, of his physician’s treatment. These intelligent gentlemen wrapped him in twenty yards of scarlet broadcloth, and kept afl the air possible out of his room. Such folly would be impmible nowadays, but the science of 2051 may be aa contemptuous of some of that of 1881 as 1881 is of 1711. A Mistaken Estimate. A Virginia father has eleven children named in the consecutive Latin numerals from “Primoa” to “Undecimus;” at the birth of his tenth boy the latter was named “Decimus Ultimas,” or tenth and last, bat, somehow, another son followed, and was dubbed “Undecimus.”
