offices. There is to be a general revolution
in salaries. Chairman Angier said yester
day:
“I am heartily in sympathy with a
change. In the tirst place, 1 intend trying
to abolish the odious fee perquisite system
in toto, and substituting iu lieutiereof
reasonable salaries. For many years the
city clerk and marshal have received costs,

office is worth $10,000 a year or more, and
that the marshal’s office is worth in fees,
costs, perquisites and commissions about
$8000 per annum. I think the
marshal and city ' cleric should
be put on fair, reasonable salaries—say
$1500 each a year, with two assistants at
say $65 per month,require these officers to
keep proper cash books and render item
ized statements, and also require these of
ficers to pay the fees and perquisites into
the city treasury, so the people will get
the benefit of them. Then the recorder
gets $1700 a year. I think that is too much.
Pendleton, Milledge and Glenn served the
city well as recorder at much less, and I
think the recorder’s salary ought to be
cut. Then the city engineer gets $1800 a
year.
“The city has not done very much per
manent work for two years, and some
years ago Captain Clayton acted as city
engineer at $1200 per annum. The city tax
receiver and collector gets $1600 a year.
Some few years ago he got only $1200 a year.
The city treasurer (who is always the
cashier of a bank) is now paid $1200 a year,
and the bank he is connected with has the
does to a butterfly. Most of these grubs
have changed, so that there are now Icsh
mugwumps, but more democrats.”
ROUGH ON PROHIBITION.
“What do you think of prohibition as a
third party movement and of its future in
fluence on national polities ?”
“I am not a prohibitionist; I do not be
lieve in that kind of legislation. It has
never done good. You cannot make great
men and women by keeping them away
from temptation. People grow strong by
resisting temptation. Prohibition makes
a busy-body community full of spies, in
formers, breath smellers and tattlers.”
“Do you believe that Mr. Cleveland is as
strong with his party as he war. two years
ago, and, if not, in what respects is he
weaker ?”
“Mr. Cleveland is in a difficult position.
He is compelled to be some democrat, just
enough not to lose his party, but not
enough to lose the mugwumps, and he has
to be just enough mugwump to save that
wing, but not too much—just enough.

mentation, discovered some twelve years
ago. The discussion of it before the recent
of the committee on relief:
“It has been, and is now, a difficult t-isk
to measure the loss by the earthquake j
calamity, as it was wholly in w in the de- I
struotion it wrought. This difficulty was j
specially felt by this committee, who were
named to receive and distribute aid to the !
needy sufferers of this disaster, needing !
shelter, food and immediate pecuniary aid. ;
This committee have afforded relief,and in ,
their judgment there lias been such a
resumption of tho normal life :
of tliis place as to justify a discontinuance '
of this system of assistance at an early day. :
The most difficult and gravest problem has
been to fix correctly the number of victims,
whose loss is their shattered houses anu
who are actually unable to repair or re
build, and to estimate rightly the total
amount of this loss in money so that the
good givers of this universal
charity might know the limit of our actual
want in this our dist ress. The committee
have after most careful examination of the
eases as far as received arrived at the con
clusion that tlie sum of money already re
ceived by this committee, together witli the
estimate amount of collections now made
and in progress of being made
in the territory east of the
Alleghanies, together with the
estimated amount now in process of
collection in Chicago and other points
west of the Alleghanies, of which they
have been advised, will, when received,
place the committee in a position to sub
stantially help the needy sufferers for
whose relief this committee wus formed.
The larger and vaster loss falling upon
the federal government, state, county and
city in the damage to public buildings, the
great loss to churches, associations and i
corporations, and the widespread damage !
done to the residences, stores, warehouses
and other property of private persons who |
are able out of their private means to re
place and repair the losses, great and
distressing as the aggregate, the loss
is to the public and individuals.
It has not been within the scope of this
committee’s efforts, simply because it was
not a cause of charity to the needy earth
quake sufferers. As grateful recipients of
the generosity and sympathy of those who
have stretched out their helping hand to
us, this committee have felt that they
should be guided by faith and the esti
mates of the actual loss of needy sufferers,
and if on an untrodden path they might
err, they prefer to err limiting the esti- .
mate rather than placing it too high.”

A Profitable Investment.
A well-known capitalist sat down to play
a game of cards with the president of a
railroad company. After the game was
finished, the president unfolded carefully
a piece of brown paper, wrapped up the
cards and returned them to ins pocket.
“A person of so economical a turn of mind
must manage his railroad sagaciously,
thought the capitalist, and the same day
he bought a thousand shares of the rail
road’s stock. Tiie investment proved very
profitable, for the stock has been rising
ever since.—Harper’s Weekly.

for them to go up and take the oath, all

Large Dealing* and Heavy FJurination* in Friar*
New York, October 5.—The dealings of
stocks to-day have been the largest tor a
long time and trading for the first hour
has seldom, if ever, been exceeded, it
was over one third or the day s business.
The feeling was more bn 1 !!..a this morning
and London became a ' avy purchaser of
all specialties. Ad- .ices were made all
over the list, thou 0 a subject to several set
backs. Heavy realizing in North
eastern and Western Union was
the features of the morning
trading, the former dropping 4 in a very
short time and in the afternoon it dropped
further, which was recovered at the
close. The realization brought out a great
deal of stock and those who were still
long came to the rescue in the afternoon
and rallied the stocks. The decline in
Western Union seems to be a natural
reaction from the sharp advance of the last
few days. Louisville and Nashville and
Missouri Pacific became leaders in the
afternoon and the so-called Gould proper
ties were especially strong, and in ease of
the Missouri Pacific there was a rumor of
valuable rights to he given to the stock
holders in a short time and some talk of
stock dividends.
The opening was very strong, the first
prices showing advances of 4 to i}—the lat
ter Union Pacific and Delaware and Hud
son. There was much irregularity in the
first hour, but the general market, was
strong, and New England and Western
Union weak. Canada B nithorn and Union
Pacific then became prominent for
strength and activity, and from the first
thirty minutes the course of prices in the
general list was up, though
subject to frequent reaction.
Extraordinary activity continued
until the close, although the last hour was
less excited and feverish than any previous
time of the day. Northeastern is down
35, and Pueifie Mail and Western Union
each 1, while Canada Southern is up 34,
Missouri Pacific 3, Nauhattan 2!, Wabash
preferred 2!, Jersey Central 13, Delaware
and Hudson ! arid the others smaller

‘‘My dear,” remarked Mr. Topnoody to
his wife, after a little domestic jar, “a fool
is not the worst, tiling in the world.”
“Possibly not, Topnoody,” she replied
shortly.
‘‘On the contrary, my dear,” he con
tinued, “1 think a fool is more sinned
against than sinning, and that he is in many
respects a superior person, and—”
“Self-praise is half scandal, Topnoody,”
she interrupted, “and I wouldn’t say any
more it 1 was you.”
He didn’t.—Washington Critic.

For over two years I suffered intensely
with muscular rheumatism. I became
almost helpless, and had to be helped out
of bed. At times I was unable to turn my
self in bed, and had to bo handled as ten
derly as an infant. My chest was involved,
and the pain was intolerable at times. All
the old and well known remedies were
exhausted, but no permanent relief was
obtained. About a year ago I was induced
by a friend to try Swift’s Specific. The
effect lias been magical. My friends
scarcely recognize me. My rheumatism is
entirely gone, my general health is superb,
and I am weighing thirty pounds more
than w hen I commenced taking B. B. S. I

Mr E. H. Jenkins has just returned from Grifiln,
where he went for the purpose of projecting with
a view to establishing gas and water works in
that city. Several Columbus gentlemen are at
the head of the enterprise, and they believe that
such works will pay in Grifiln. Mr. Jenkins says
the people of that place received him kindly, and
he will go there again in about two weeks to
further investigate the situation. The Grifiln
Sun in speaking of the matter says:
“We hove taken occasion to ask the opinion of
a number of ourcitizehs on tho above subject and
they arc all unanimous in saying “we arc in
favor of it.” It will only increase the taxation to
what we paid last year and surely we can afford
to put the tax the same ugain, on condition
that our city is lighted and protected fr mi fire.
The company who proposes to build this plant
do notask anything unreasonable, and we hope
to soon be able to chronicle the fact that the
trade lias been made. The committee appointed
from the council to confer with Mr. .Jenkins met
him yesterday morning and talked the matter
over. It was agreed that he was to go back to Co
lumbus and make up tho very lowest estimate on
the work to be done and submit it to the council.
In the meant.me the committee would canvass
the town in the interest oftlie new enterprise.
We hope our citizens will give the committee
their support, and help them to inaugurate this
great benefit to our town.”

Hub Collin , of the Louisvills, is tho best all
round player in the club. On their eastern trip
lie played well at short-stop, third base and in
the field. He also batted hard.
Mike Kelly, the greatest bull player in the
country, ranks third in batting. Anson loads,
with Broiltliers second. Wonder if they couldn’t
be induced to turn over the lead to Mike. He
deserves it if any body does.
