Although his pipe line to the county treasury was plugged the moment he left the job, he found no dificulty indrawing seventy-five dollars from the city. There is no pretense of performing auy work for the money. In fact thero was never any real work to be done. The “druggist,” however, is not the only sinecure maintained on the city payroll.

Senator Evarts does not fevor the re- ciprocity policy urged by Mr. Blaine, | and which appears certain of adoption, and his chief reason for opposition is that the “most m nptly 1 seem to business enou wored nation” clause in our treaties with Buropean nations would inter with the concession of il advantages to South Amervican by al This Dheen by scems not to gront Spac nations treuties, made vecipe has but it made any very oxtended impression, and with all due deferenco the eminent ability of My, wis asa lawyer, it must be presumed to have far less force than lie would give it.

The census enu- meration is now o nearly completo for all the states that the apportionment could be made at onee if dosived, The slight additions or subtr her after to be made will hardly affect the representation of any state in the or house of representatives, is therefore demonstrable that the re- publican party can elect its eandidutos for president and vice president in 1802 ying either New York, Indiana, , Connecticut or West Vir- ginia, the first two of which gave their electoral votes to Hurrison in 1858 and the others voted for Cleveland. A census expert has contributed to the Philudelphia Press o caleulation show- ing that the states which gave republi- con majorities in 1888, together with tho now states, have added nearly nine mill- fon to their vopulation in the past ten years, while the incrouse in the state that gave democratic majorities has been only four and a half willion, an ad- vantage of nearly that number in favor of the republivan states.

A system which enabled irresponsible just constables and shysters to crowd the court docleets with which the state of Iowa was prosecutor against “one bottle of beer,” each case netting the raiders seven dol- lars, naturally bred a horde of tax eaters. The enforcement of the law was a secondary deration. The sole object of the gang was to sceure all the reveuue the traflic would bear, rogard- less of the effect on the taxpayers, Linn county has been bled as effectively as Polk, but the authorities are now de- termined to clieck the greed of the guang. In the pastthree months fees amounting to twenty-three thousand dollars were piled up against the tax- payers and the refusal of the supervisors to fork over this enormous sum without «uestion meets the hearty approval of the taxpaying citizens. The feesharks are near the end of their rope.
