There has been much hue and cry about the way that citizens have run down warrants, but the city administra- tion itself has beon largely responsible for this also. Hardly a council meeting {s held without the allowance of warrants to cover the aepreciation of war. rante. A man puts in a bill of £100, for work done, and a general fund warrant is issued in payment. Then he puts ina claim that the work was to be paid for in cash, and that he was unable to sell the £100 warrant for more than §75, and the council allows him $25 more to cover the shrinkage.

Richmond Dispatch, Since the settlement in North Caro- lina of Scottish crofters from the island of Skye our people have felt considerable interess in the aflairs of these unfortu- nates. Skye has a population of 20,000. The soil is poor and the crofters earn a living with the greatest difticulty. The landlords are a grasping sot and demand high rent. During recent years the crofters have been driven to the verge of starvation. One project for their relief was to colonize them In America, and the North Carolina experimant was tried, but with enly doubtful success. Matters have gone on from bad to worse in_ Skye until there is a prospect of armed rebel- lion. At last accounts tbe landlords were seeklng to evict about 2,000 tenants. These poor people when put out of thelr little cabine have no nowhere to go. Driven to desperation they show fight. Of course their case is hopeless, Troops have been sent to the lsland to maintan order, and a conilict can result in nothing but tho butchery of the helpless and hopeless crofters, These innocent vic tims of foreign landlordism deserve a bet- ter fate. They ure the rempant of several brave and once powerful Scottish clans, and patriotism and honesty have brought them to their present gad condi- tion, —— How a Tauut O Atlanta Constituti New Jersoy is sometimes jocularly re febred Lo 65 & foreign county by persons who do not know the origin of their little joke.

The barkeeper placed a b two | @lasses on the bar, romarking as he did 80 sotto vooe that b ustomor didn'tlook well There was something unusual about Monkey Bob's appearance. His Jarments were as fashionably cut and in as Toud checks as ever, but they were a oaroless woy (uite unknown to the ox quisite gamblor, The dismond stud was missiag from his shirt front. The mas sive gold chain was missing too. His boots wore unblacked. His linen wos not as white as Monkey loved to wear, His atitude was of meditation, There was an exprossion of deep disgust on his face, which now and then as the train of his refloctions hurrled on deepened into disgust., Four weeks before he had determined onatrip through the country for the purpose of regaining luck by moans of his well-known skill with *‘short” cards. There wore two Indiana merchants on the train he boarded, whose acquaintance he speedily made. They wero unfamiliar with the mysteries of draw poker, but knew all about euchre. Monkey was mindful of the gambler's maxim, *‘Feel your neck betore you push it," and lot them oft easy. Ho parted from them at Tndianapolis with §110 of their money, and their assurance that when they next came to Chicago they would call on him at his insurance office on L Salle streot. Boarding the Wabash train for Toledo, Monkey met a student whom he relieved of #100. At Toledo Monkey's suave manuors insinuated him into the socioty of party of {lush commercial drummera. They sat all night at & Jeading hotel, and, though Monkey had to strugglo against the advantage of having the deal only once in five times, he quit the game ahoad £482 and a watch chain valued at €30. By this time nearly §2,000 was in his pockets. Aftor & woek’s rost in Cinclnnati, ap- proaching businoes no closer than shaking dico occasionally with easy opponents, Monkey took a train for St. Louis. No fitting subject appeared until at & emall ludiana town a plain, middle.aged, far- mer-looking man hoarded tho train. Monkey had a faint recollection of having soen him before. I required fine work. It was only after two hours’ conversation about crops, politics, horses and other agricultural subjects that Moukey dared suggent o gamo of cards. 1 don’t know anything about cards,” said the farmer, ‘but I can shake dice with the best of them.” That exactly suited Monkoy. His com- mand of the dice-box was ocven greater than his ability for fixing tne cards, With a emile of confidence Lo produced his hnplements, and tho gamo began. At the end of half an hour neither of the players had won much, They wero in- terrupted by o tall, cadaverous man, dressed like a mild crank, who placed his hauds affectionately on Monkey's ehoul- ders. **Young man,” said he, allowing his hands to wander down Monkoy's vest, “give up this tempter. Shun ber beseeching voice. Cast off hor toils be- for > Joseph tried to induco several states to alisn to “‘Cheese it,” said Monkey; Joff.” The crank retired and the game pro- ceeded. 1 don’t like these cheap throws,” said the farmer. *‘1'd raise the lmit if 1 thought you wouldn't kick.” “1'd never kick, old man,” rejoined Monkey Bob. “I'll throw you once for $1,000. One throw.” “Iv's a go.” Monkey calmly replaced the true dice with the three loaded ones he carried in his vest pocket for such emergencics, cov- ored the farmer's $1,000 with the same amount and announced that he was ready. The farmer emptied his box first, uncovering six, four and two. “It's too easy,” murmured Monkey, uncovering his dice. To his horror three aces met his eyes. The farmer coolly gathered up the money and stowed it carefully away in & capacious wallet, deaf to the torrent of profanity that burst from the astonished gambler. “Well, 1 don’t kick,” said Monkey, finally. ~ **It was your side partner, the prencher, of course, that rang the change. But how did you got on to me having them?’ *Young fellow,” responded the farmer, twhen you ring in fixed dice in public dow’t let anybody sec. especially if you've got a roll.”” And Monkey's recollection +uddenly returned of an Incident cf his stay in Cincinnati, and the inquisitive eyos of & tramp. “]'ll give you back your dice and give you a chance to get even with some sucker,” he continued, handing his crushed antagonist the three llvtle cubes. “Phis is my station. Good night. Good Juck.” Monkey replaced the dice in his vest pocket, sent a parting oath after the farmer, and proceoded into the next car 1 search of a chance to get even. The chance came a few stations further. An elderly careleesly dressed man with & havy valise climbed into the car and took a seat beside the Monkey. into conversation.
