Expressly dlacJaiming all aninjoaliy, prejudice and daalra to persecute or oppose uny of our fellow clUstnt, wo engage In this move ment because of public conakteret'lona only, and we appeal to the people of the city, without regard to race, clast or con dition political alTHIatlona or rollglous beliefs, to Join ua In It, and we Invite such of our fellow citizen* who fay# so determined end who dealre membership In ihla club with a view to promote Its 'Cause, to enroll their named on tho bock we koop for that purpow." PAY AND ItBGrSTBR. It tala been developed by the registrar •Aon *o for made lor our city oleotlop that a very large proportion of our citizen* arc delinquent- taxpayer*. • Very many of top men eo delinquent were htcaraiM of the* faet unto quemloncd by the reglatrure. The tnx which re- nuins unpaid la generally the atrett tux. Several of those tttio mve fallaa bo regletvr were not even gware'thdt auub tv 'tax wtte imposed, or that Ita payment was necoetnry to qualify a mad a* a voter. In some bmtntlcoe their delinquency rnn book over several roars, go that the total amount owed the city Is considerable. Thin le gen erally true of those who have had no oinoirtunHy 10 pay the street tax along with other taxes. As this tnx has bean very generally Ignored, the books showing that only a, comparatively few persons have paid It, this state of things should not, perhaps, be suipijs- Ing. Nevwitheleaa the law does require the payment of this tax, as of nil oth- *». and the registrar* arc perfectly right In demanding that It shall hav> been paid befpro receiving the name Of the voter. Tt>* fact that during pre vious ycani these mon havo voted with out question D nq evidence of their right to vow now, but only that the law heretofore baa not been enforced with (he proper degree of stringency. Wo hop* tout voter* disqualified tn this way will sti thenxwlve* right on the city treasurer’s books and qualify thtenantwa before election day. The disqualification Is a continuing one. Every year tho amount neeoteary to be paid will grow target, to'(hat If It la not paid now the deUnquentV^nx- payer la permanently dUfiunchlued and cut not hereafter participate In the government of the ekr. It 1* naturally coaler to discover that a good cltlxen, cartful to cell thd truth In reply to the regiatnara questions, Is delinquent (taut tint a tea* a or thy roan, leas care ful to tell the truth, and ooiy anxious to vote, lus neglected to pay ble tax. A good man will not trend* or falsity In order to qualify himself, and a bao roan will. U la all toe more necessary, thctvXorc, that every man discovered by the Kftitron to bo disqualified for having failed to pay the tax shill make whatever sacrifice la necessary to fit himself to vote. We urge limit every om of them do to. — DO NOT COMPROMISE. In part* of the country a tremendous rovtCaton of feeling against bid aud corrupt poYt'oaJ method* which have been allowed to prevail for many yarn. In the South this feei ng Is con- car-mted against the kind* of election* we hare lad. It I* lire now to find a man who :* not willing to confeifl’ that there i* urgent need of a change W our elect on laws that will purify elections and make the methods here tofore tolerated entirely unnecessary. There Is a very strong feeling that the safety of our '.notltuHOn* depends upon *0 ctxraglng the laws that all men will know that the popular will 1* embod ied In the (lech red result* of dectioc*. And this feeling :* sura to have Ins ef- fooi. When a reform D not only pop ular bir I* morally rightist cannot be PWvCTrtwt.

Tho tea; need not be a high one. It will be sat- tsfaotory If ft requires only that tbe voter shall bo able to read the names on the ticket In addition there should bo a registration law embodying the present requirement Hut the voter stall have pad nil tho taxes owed .by him to the state. It is only Just that the man who ahem In the government of the state should contribute some thing to It* support, if he lus prop erty which tan be reached oy the tnx oolleotor, he Is obliged to so contr bute. If ho has no property, then certainly It Is not asking too much of aim to contribute the small amount of the poll tax. NEW YORK’S NEW MAYOR.

WHAT WOULD BE GAINED J Tho Atnertciw Tlmes-Ueoordcr culls anooUon to the fact that tho Tele graph ’Tina filed ito enthuso over the work of tho mnu who knocked Hill and Democracy out to Now York, tho* Dem ocratic Sampson, who, bV.nded by tho Deltloh of Wail street, throw down tho tcmplo and burled Mmself beneath tho ruins,” and calls upon it to do so. Tho Telegraph muft dooltue. It Is not eolhualostlc .u this connection. Not beoauso It Iran any desire to criticise tho ocureo of Prooldont Clovelaiul, but heoaueo DewociwHo defeat always hj» a.doproaslng effect on tho Telegraph. It to awnro, however, that the Tlroes- Kocordar spoaka ironically. It is ouo of tho newspapers which was devoted to tho Interests of Senator Hill when ho.wo* n candidate for iho presidential nomln.vc.oo, which la bitterly hostile to Mr. Cleveland, nnd which no doubt thinks that Senator Illll was very bad ly. 'treated by the president to the rc- cont campaign. Presumably It was not only eager that Senator Hill oliould ntn In Now York, but that with the prodtlgD thereby gained, ho would;win tho next Democratic nomination and bo tho next Democratic prclldeut. If eo, wlrat would tho Ttmes-Hecorder g»ln? It is IiourtUy tn favor of tartrt reform, wo believe. Senator -Hill did tho best ho knew to prevent the pas sage of tho tariff reform bill in the last bongroas. It Is also, tvo believe, hctirt.ly tn favor of ibo Income tax. Senator Htll was tho bitterest oppo nent of that tax, and will repeal It at the earliest moment that lie can. It Is heartily tn KVor of tho free cottage of sIIvct at iho 10 to 1 ratio, and Mr. Hill la not. So far ns wo know, there Is altsolntely nothing In common '.n tho political purposes watch they favor between the TlmesUocwdv nnd Sen ator Hill. They are alike only in 'he r dlsllko for Mr. Cleveland. We can very well ask, therefore, what iho Timed-Recorder would ^iln by tho elootlon of Senator. Hill, and what the Dnnuvrutk'. pirty -would. gCnl Cer tainly his elootlon aa g<vrerno- of New York atakhls nomlnalioa as the Dem- oeraGo candldtto for president would mean (hat tho Democnulo party no longer favored tariff reform, no longer favored a tux on lneotue*. and might be taken to mean that it w.i* oppontl to (he free cuhrage of atlver. Is the Tlmes-ltecordcr willing to abandon nil of (he moasmv's for which it hat tr ailed with so much ability for no better reason than that Mr. Hill t* Mr. Cleve land's cuomy? It has been frequently said of late that this 1* a breuk.ng up nine la put.- tlos; tint tbtM to to b* a new >Mgi< moat of purUM.

Above the medium stature, broad •houldent, the frame beat w.tii the weight of much lurd work, but a kind ly, honest face expressive of a strong and resolute mind, Urge bluegray eyes, the aoso largo and prom.neat, well pre served, caution aud c-snservaiUsm de picted to every lineament—such A a poo picture of New York city's next mayor, WGIlain Loudon Strong. Sir. Strong Is lb his 68th year, but there are few wrinkles 'n bis face. He looks to he fully ten years youth titan be Is. Owing to a Lfc of strict habits and regularity, his health has been preserved, and tbotigb his hair is hardly thin enough and bl« beard hardly gray euougli for b.s age, the tines about his eyes, the color of bis skin, the stoop of his broad shoulders, tell a story of long years of earnest, patient work. You need only to look at Mr. Strong to be convinced that be fore you etaods a man of strong will. His features Ind.eate unalterable reso lution once he nas made up his mind. When he seta his mind upou doing a tiling, he It bound to acoompl.Ah It, and wiill not allow any little discour agement to disturb toe fixity of Ills purpose. He wean u silk hut, which he often tilts back on his head. Ibis makes hian look to be not orer -El. (Mr. Strong is a man of simple tastes and habits. He began life poor, aud bo Is now rich. His fortune bas gtown slowly and siead.ly year by yeori. It A an honestly acquired fortune-noc one of tho new tasn.oaed sudden growths thwt so often represent Ut)lo honest labor and much chicanery. His gmdita'I growth m uharacter aud :u fortune bos been paralleled by the gradual growth of eata-i.n in tho busi ness world for him. Hi* word is taken absolutely. If he says he w.U do a oeittaln thing, It Is understood that tl)e thing will be done. They have him oil many boards of directors, and ho is president of tire Central Narionai Bunk. He ts there beouuto he Is cau tions and conservative In everything be does. He came from Ohio forty years ago, when New York nnd a popufaUon of only 500,000. He acted 011 ihe re verse of Horace Greeley’s 11dv.ee *nd oumo East asd goew up with toe country. Personally, Mr. Strong is a man (,1 kindly disposition; he is not of u eh.ii- aotcr to grow enthusiastic over, lie Is of a positive nature, and It would be little short of Impossible o n uke him go against k s Judgment, lie 1s quick and decisive In nl» cmversu'-.on, but he ts not a speech maker. Ho could not make an tmeresliug apeeeb of any length, loe'.ug a dealer In face and not In rhetoric. He la a hnslncsa man, not n politician. He looks at th ugs from a practical standpoint, and Dot tor' expediency. The only thing that Interests him outride of h'.s busi ness are toe financial questions and toe problems of municipal government. To both he has given much study. In potfttoa Mr. Strong la a Republi can. Before the Republics party was formed he .was * Whig. Although » believer In Reupbllcon principles tin national Issues, he la not a pomlxan In local affairs. He -would not have ac cepted 11 nomination on any except a non-part!s*n platform. He believes that the city governent should be conduct ed like the affairs of a crest business houae. The ofilcea should go to men who ’would render the best service, regardless of their politic*. Mr. Strong ih'Ki been a candidate for one office before hi* election—for congress, agatnot he laite Orlando B. Potter, In WSJ, and he was beaten. When he was nominated for mayor It was a case of office seeking the man. He had no de sire for th* nomination, but when the Commtttee of Seventy decided upofl him a» (he man beet suited (0 be the standard bearer for the cause of good government, auJ he found that the sentiment of ell the anti-Tammany or ganizations was (n his favor, be ac cepted hi* duty and will fulfill It In the aamn quiet bualness-ltke and ef fective way which chnnioterlxos all of Ms doings. The batUe against Tam many .ami mtegovenwnent was In line with ills feeling and sentiment*. He was Intensely Interested In seeing New York’* city government delivered from the diagram end degradation of Tam many Hall. How he proposes to carry out the will of the people can be Judged from the platform on which he made bla campaign. "If I am eleced mayor.” he mid, "I will do everything to my power to give New York a clean, economical and non-partisan administration. I will administer the office la the Interest of Justice and order and of all the citizens of New York. There la a side of Col. Strong’s life which he hide* from th* public. He doe* not snake conceutmnt because he la ashamed of anything he dues, but heoauae he follows the Biblical Injunc tion of not letting his Cett hand know- wli.it Ids right hand doetit. Mr. Strong prefers that his Charities shall not h* exploited. He believes that it Is the duty of the rich to share with th* poor and unfortunate. When he has a duty to perform he goes straight way and performs It, to hla quiet and effective way, and 0* much bothered tf any publicity results. She mayor-elect Is president of that great charitable Institution, St.-Jehu’s Guild. Through its ministering Influence hundred* of lives of the little children of the poor are saved each year. For years he has been a meet liberal eupporter of tbe only refuge for the friendless In Shis cttyJ lma Hi home gas* m din ner, to more than *,*00 of the men on New Year’s day he was told that the supplies were not sufficient to meet the demands, and he prompts’ an swered: "Let no man go away hungry. See to It that everv one gets whit he ante tn eat. I wilt make up the de ficit." tn his home life Mr. Strong Is equity unostentatious. He has a beautiful home at No. U Weet Flfty-eeveaih street, air bin a few doors of William C. WMtnev’t house. There he lives With hi* wife and son. t boy of if. who Is not suing to college, bu* Is get-, ting a business education and learning the three modern business languages— German, French and oanis.i. He nas also a married daughter. Mr. Strong’s leisure time is spen between his nome and the dubs to arnica he belongs. When he is not at home In the even ing he le usually to be found at fine Union League Clan. In the daytime he Is tauti at (work Id his business, amt after January 1 be will be found just as Industriously (oYlng In the mayor’# office from morning to nlght- An Idea of the next mayor at work may be gathered from the following description: He Is at the office of ton bank at S:30 o’clock every rooming. He Iras got a great mahogany de3k. but he h is got too toe way of sitting at the end of a long tabic, which Is In (the centre of the room, and Is al most always (here during' business hours. There is a pen. Ink apd some paper and a queer tittle bureau tn front ofh 1m. There Is no detail of toe trans actions of the bonk 'Which Is not brought to bifl notice. Anything re quiring his -attenlon Is Immediately attended to Instead o< being pigeon holed, and that Is why tots little bu reau ’fills all requirements. Of all things he abominates is disorder. Ev erything where he Is 'must be Ship shape. Directness and promptness are his watchword*. The wisdom of the nomination of such a man for mayer Is apparent to the men who nominated him. He has the experience of a ball a entury’s buslnes life to begin with, and When you have tost addedt o activity and ability, you have Just such a coinbl- ntition of qualifications as Is needed in the mayor’s Chair In itoe present emergency. Little did toe young clerk from too West think that he -would oc cupy Uhls chair some day When he walked by the city hall and contem plated the structure -wCHch seemed so splendid In his country's eyes, and Juqt as little did Croker and Gilroy and other ’big chiefs think ft year ago that New York would ever be so fortunate as to be governed by a Republican mayor. , . Mr. Strong’s history ts a record of hard worts, btit It IS an Interesting ex ample to the youth of the present generation of how to become a suc cessful man. and how to reach high honors in the business and opCitlcal "it" 1 ™« In LoudonvIUe. O., that Mr. strong was bom. His father was a poor New England CConoecttout, to be exact) farmer, who drove his wagons wearily over the Alleghenies In tho early part of the century. Young Stron ggrew up there, getting broad and deep In tho chest, although not so tall as his ancestors had been. He got a little education, but all that sort of thing stopped short at 13. Then his father died and, as he was tbe oldest, he had to help look after toe family. At 14 he became clerk In the vil lage store of LoudonvIUe, and at 16 went Into a dry goods store at Wooster, O. Then ho got acquainted with a merchant in Mansfield, and an offer of a place with a little higher salary. Ho stayed there ten years, working patlentl y*nd looking about to find a chance to improve his situation: When lie landed in New York at the age of 56, anyone of the schools of bush ness thet obtain nowadays would have laughed at this rather plain, dull-looklng youth, with timid country ways and with few words, no great plans, only a fixed determination to do the work he found at hand, and to do It well. Out on the farm and In the country stores he had privation and hard work. He understood that sort of thing and was not a bit afraid of it. If the chances had been against him .and he ha dremalned a clerk all his life, he would have done tvls work thoroughly and uncomplainingly. He never had a set-back In his life. His has been wnat they call now a snails’ pace upward to success. He got a place as ■ desman In the dry goods nrm of L. O. Wilson & Co. He worked along for five years early and late, learning the busi ness to the last detail, taking all the necessary knowledge Into a mind Blow to learn, but an Inveterate procrastinator at forgetting. Just es he thought he woul dbe promoted the firm failed. His next place was with ’ h’amham. Dale & Co., commission merchants There he hod to begin at the bottom again, and again he began the toilsome march up ward. working the longest hours every day, living as quietly and as modestly aa was consistent with decency, saving a little money and adding It to,the grow ing amount of what ho had already saved. They raised bis salary from time td time, and finally he became manager. When one of tho partners withdrew ho became a partner (n a small Way. From this time on .Mr. Strong Made money taster. Several succeeding changes in partners made Mr. Strong more promi nent In the firm. After cloven years of service with Famhtm. Dale It Co., there was on entire reorganization, and he became tho head of the firm. That was In U70, and ever since Mr. Strong, called "colonel" by courtesy and for no other reaaon 1n the world, h^s been one of the merchant princes of Now Yorit.-New Yoric Commercial Advertiser. COL.

Q. B THRIFTY LOUIS PHILIPPE. A Wealthy Monarch Who Waa Haunted by a Fear of Poverty. If Loots Philippe's family did not suck tn tho lesson of economy with the moth er’s milk, It had at any rate been drum med into their ears from their very In fancy by tholr father, who, with a civil list of £780,000, which meant something more than It would now, was oonatantly haunted by tho fear of poverty and haunt- od to such a degree as to horais his friends and counselor! with his apprehensions “.My dear minister,” ho said one day to Guizot after having recited to him a long list of hi* domestlo charges, “my dear minister, I am telling you that my chil dren will be wanting bread.” When Hare], tho manager of the Odeon, camo to ask him for tho loan of 80,000 francs, Louis Philippe langbed and merely said, *‘My dear M. Harel, I was Just going to ask you for a similar loan.” Daring Qaoen Victoria’s visit to En, In 1843, bor host was constantly telling hor stories of his formor poverty, and not in n cheerful manner, but with a depressing fear of a like future being in store for him. One morning,wbllo tho young matron and “too competitor of lo pero eterncl,” ns Prince Clementine, the mother of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, called her father, were strolling in tbe garden, tho latter of fered his royal guest a pooch. The qncen seemed at a loss how to skin it, seolng which Louis Philippe took n largo clasp knife from his pooket. *‘Whon a mail has been a poor devil llko myself, obliged to lire upon 40 sous a day, ho always carries a knife. I might have dispensed wtth It for the last few years, but I do not wish’ to lose the habit. One does not know what may happen,” bo said. Tho qaoen was deeply affected, and she did not recovor her wontod spirits for hours.

MAKES MINIATURE HOUSES. A Clever Boaton Mechanic Furnishes Mod els For About 8100 Each. Do you contemplate building a bouso? It so, hero is an lnvaluablo suggestion guaranteed to save you a lot of monoy and regret and preserve the architect from un told aggravation. In Boston there is a man who from plans nnd specifications will make a tiny model showing In detail g at how theoomplotcd building will look. e charges from f50 to 890 to duplicate In miniature a three story dwelling of 10 or 16 separata apartments. Everything is uoonrately reproduced, from the slope of the roof to tbo tread of toe staircase. In this wny tho prospective owner, seeing his Ideas practically real ized, Is able to make timely and just crit icism, for even with a lively imagination and somo knowledge of building It la Im possible to get a very clear conception of proportions. Verandas tbat look Inxnrl- .ously broad on paper becomo painfully contracted when actually planked over, and it Is astonishing to seo how.cramped and cheap or bald and big Is the real house that one fancied quito free from flaws. Tho Bostonian’s scheme is to savo you any possibledlsappolntmentsor blunders. On a platform C feet by 4 Inches he sets up the Uttlo model, shingling, plastering or painting tho exterior you propose using for tho real strnoturo. Every window Is In ita proper place, doors swing easily on their hinges, halls are low or lofty and rooms snug or airy, just as you propose In tho plans. There Is tbo house that you may turn It round and round, view It from a dozen standpoints, see whore It meets your expectations or wholly falls to ma terialize your favorite theories. It Is true that 890 may seem a tidy sum to throw away on a toy, but those who have experienced somo of tho tribulations of housebuilding will think It rather an Inexpensive expedient In the end.—New York Press.
