This will pretty effectually prevent the wide distribution of a class of printed literature that does more to corrupt the youth of the morals of country and degrade the the people in general than almost any has literature years, ex- other agency. Such heen forbidden the mails for and the only recource was the press company. of January month there was an increase inthe actual indebtedness of the United States of Dvrine the $2,120,776, and an increase in the “debt less cash in the treasury’’ of $14,008,735. The debt less cash in the treasury amounted on Saturday to $1,007,008,317. This is the first time in a number it has taken ten figures amount of the debt of the govern- ment, cash deducted. A few years ago the first of the nine figures was ‘'8.’" Somuch for Democratic financiering required. of years Tus great sun spot that created so much interest in the astronomical world during January is said by Prot, Brooks, director of the Smith Ob- servatory, of Geneva, New York, to be again visible; it may be seen with the na a smoked glass, ked eye through the medium of it is presumed there are some people have never had the pleasure of meeting a sun spot. If any such desire to wake the acquaint- ance of one of the most distinguished of these celestial gentry, they may now do so by smoking a bit of win- dow pane over « lamp and on a clear day taking a squint at his majesty, King Sol. Its stated the spot will become more and more prominent for several days PANNE of Illinois, 18 suing the legislature for authority to ts of the current ex- rupping borrow money to pay state made fur ordinary penses, provide for the expenses thereof for the current year. When the great reform governor took the reins four years ago there was a surplus in the treasury, and the state had for a number of years been able to get along without borrowing and to meet all its obligations promptly as they matured, Very soon it be- caine necessary for this blatant econ- omist to borrow money for the ordin- ary expenses of the state govern- ment. Latterly the loans have been largely increased and the great and Wealthy state of Lilinois is paying on dollars, 7 This is another several hundred thousand per cent. interest striking illustration of the remarkable advantages of Democratic rule. _—_ Ir is next to nauseating to read the comments of many of the newspa- pers in and about New York City on|This appears to be the unanimous! tiliger distributor and. ses the arbitration treaty One would be led to believe we were on the verge of war and that the President and Mr. Olney lad ‘at an opportune mo- ment stepped in and prevented a dire calamity by negotiating a treaty to remove all possibility of war im fus ture. matter of fact the only things cdvered by the arbitration tresty, appaxently, are trifles about which the nations would never think about going to war.

If the assertions of the Letcher are truth in reference to the investigation of the Hopkinsville asylum it would seem the officia moved is not Dr. Letcher but the man who recommends his dismissal.

There does not seem to be, at first glance, any direct relation between maps and bicycles, but there fs, aud map publishers report thet cycling is responsible for a new and enlarged de- mand for road maps, especially ciose mounted on muslin. Heretofore the maps in most general use have been railroad maps, and the greatest core has been taken to make them exact, the United States bejng far abead of all other countries in respect of the manu: facture of maps giving the location* of cities and towns, and the railroads con- jacob Weil: necting them.

Tue Sun has repeatedly urged the propriety of a business men’s organ- isation of some character for the pur- pose of providing the means of intel- ligently and efliciently working for the up-building of the city, the in- crease of its manufacturing indus- tries and its population, Such or- ganizations are maintained in all growing cities of importauce. They have proven of vast benefit wherever organized in a business like way. A small assessment levied monthly on the business men generally would doubtless be cheerfully paid, at least after the organization had got down to business and shown its efficiency. A secretary to whom was paid a fair salary condition that his whole time should be devoted to the work, would prove a splendid investment, on provided only the right man were se- lected.

It would be very more costly to use the water from the city water works, which is certainly very much more healthful Tustead of prohibiting the construction of sink wells to provide a means of dis- posing of the disease-breeding refuse, it would seem more prudent to. pro- hibit the use of well water, instead of filling up the wells used to supply water ink wells to fill up the When tem of the city is provided with sewers with which hot mnected, there will no r be e a ecessity for the sink well and it may to if pinions of repu- thout detriment But even then, be condemued w the public health. we may rely on the table physicians, Uie wells of water used for drinking and culinary pur- poses will continue to menace the locate, with proper energy displayed] ¥ report was concurred in.

The children being denied the privilege of eating dinner in the building were forced to go to the custom house, a block away. A new music chart was purchased upon recommendation of Mr. Wal- ston. But a cursory allusion was made to the Mechanicsburg school build- ing, which the board desired to pur- chase until, it discovered that the council had bought it. President Lang stated to the board that the city now has the property and one or two others obseryed that it might as well keep it. A petition was read from property owners of West Broadway asking for a right of way through the old uni- versity grounds. Messrs. Smith and Lawrence were appointed a committee to investigate and report back. A written request was filed asking the board to grant permission to give aschool entertainment for the benefit of the school library of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, Longfellow building. Considerable objection was raised, principally because the school children would probably be iy 13.7 Wi AG The board adjourned. and 'P, W.
