H.ncc then tho eieatfon roturua show the ex- got stains of the parries, and tho poCsu, wo endeavored to wake is empha sized. The grant Republican victory was not duo to the Increase of the Republican veto, for UKit inereaso was very sllgln-only tight thousand—bwt to tint tremendous falMng off of tho Damocntitlo vote. Compared with tho vote of 1802, the D ■mooni'a lost 127,- 0OO, ttho Populists galtiod 25,000, the Republicans 8,000.

People are ool buying (these bonds for seutl- mtatal reasons, Iwt because, with the great surplus of money now In the banks, the WMt'Mt for money bu run down below Uie 3 pe* oeut. which the bonds trill not tie the buyer. But while this Is true, it :s nevertheless a hardsblj that the government should be oompeJIed to bornow nwney to get gold tund itlien furnish gold to buy Its owu bonds. The si mu'.on is really a rldleulot* ono for n greuit government to bu placed hi. But what Is the gov ernment to do snout it? It cannot, un der exrnf.ng laws, get money to moot Its oWgvtlotM In any other wny than by an tasne of bonds, and It cannot re fuse to pay to damhnd notes when they are preseated at Its oouatera. It is ttho riatfm of bad laws, made by itself, and, unfortunately, there is n large propcsltioir of our people so wedded to the gri-enlxick Idea in one or onochcr of Ms forms, that tho pros pect of ,a change la our laws is not very bright. It seems tq bo a very Ample, easy prctpotCiKon that the gov ernment ami csdaipo from all of its pres ent difficulties If it will simply quit is suing Its demand notes. It issued these notes originally for arr other reason Cun -that It wuo obliged «» use Its credit in order to meet war expense*. Thart noooaaity no longer exists. But tho ltBtunco of the notes, after they have once been redeemed, continues, and thus Is furnished mothods by which poojf.0 avtoo want to force the government to furnish a sifo Invest ment for ttbelr money, can compel It to do so.

The government will not Care wlttahcr gold goes out of the conn try or not. Its credit will not bo affected nor Sts Qrimces disarranged Cf it should go orit.

SHORT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. There waa one thlnr about the last Tneetln^ of council that the public could mot understand, and that waa the ques tion put* to Chief Butner’l# Alderman Van. . T * I have It as told me by Chief Burner yesterday. Alderman Vqn’jT^ueMlon, so the chief says, referred to a conversation held In February last, and which the chief considered confidential. In this con versation the chief told Alderman Van that "one of the bosses" ha<£ told him not to bo too severe, or words, to that ef fect, on certain Cherry street saloon Keeper* for the time being, inasmuch as they were In hard luck. The chief says he asked the mayor—for it was the mayor who so Instructed him—to put his order in writintf.but Mr. Horne refused and ■aid: "Oh. It doesn’t make any differ ence. so uo ahead aud investU&te them." The chief repeated the circumstance to Mr. Van, as he supposed In confidence, and Aledrman Van’s questldn w«s natur ally unexpected and calculated to give the <ith»‘r fell***- that tired feollnir. "But It’s aU out now," said the chief, "so I guess I mUfht aa well tell It all." The thin* haa been the talk of the town and no douht everyone wttt bo Interested In the chief’s explanation, which Is prac- tlcally the name, so It Is understood, that he made before the grand Jury yesterday. "You quoted me a little wrong.” said Oapt. 8. 8. Dunlap, chairman of the po lice commission, to a Telegraph reporter ycsSbrday. “l spoke hurriedly and per haps did not make my meaning exactly clear, but what I meant was Chat the police commissioners had done all In their power to auppre&s gambling and Sunday whisky selling, but on account of the fail ure of council to co-operate with us, we have betan unable to suppress It. and as *uch work as th.n requires k special offi cer who is not known to everybody, we have been unable to employ such an offi cer, us council haa refused to make any larger appropriation than Is nc-ceuary for the regular force. I beUeve we have done ouv full duty, uud Chief Burner anal his men have done th«rfra."

He stopped over long enough to shake hands with hi* numerous friends here and went oa to Atlanta to I ok after sonm bua.nes^ before the leg islature. THE DUTY OF VOTING. To the Editor of che Telegraph; Allow me jo add somethin* to what y ? t i_^ arv ?. 80 about the dutv ox Omit citizens to pav their taxes aud register. To vote i* not slowly a DrivUese: it la aieo a public duty; a public duty a mail owes to Iiij* country; a moral duty he owe* to himoelf, bis family and ilia friends. While the payment of tax la a condition precedent to lawful votiug tfw right to vote is not the sole con sideration of paymeut o»f ux. Taxation 1* the ritciiis of paying the, expense* ot government, and every taxable citizen Is under legal and mor al obligation to pay a pan«i at such ex penses, whethser he vcites or not. In deed, there arc nvany (mostly ladles) who pay tax. who are not allowed to vote. Thfc citizen who thinks that’ the tlx Ji»* 1* oa)!'-d on to pay is simply the price he bn® ito pay for the privi lege ot voting end decides not to make the Im'OatmerKt evade* his coUgntioa to pay a debt he a* Justly owes ;i« any other debt. Yer, very many good citizens who decline or fall tto pay tax on this idea make it a business to abon b.id gov- enrment and demand good govern- meat, when they ;rre not paying one cent for the of any .-govern* mem, good or bad. They heartily Join their friend* and neighbors, who are paying the expenses ot tmw gowrn- ment, in toe clamor for good govern ment, bu«t are not willing to pay a street tax of 93 a year (less than one cent a day) to secure good”govern ment tor their neighbors and them- aelvies. And, strange to say, many of these very men are partroulurly. dis pleased with the very bad condition ctf our streets, and do not spare their criticisms or denunciations. It is painfully true that the burdehs ot taxation rest unequally on the shoulders of those who are He tooted to bear them, and the bad administration of an imperfect system mokes the in justice greater. Bu»t tbU is no excuse for delinquency. A truly honorable man will pay more than he justly owe® rather than pay less or nothing, and we find it almost universally true that the men who ore discriminated against most in taxation are the ones who most promptly pay their taxes. On the ot/her 'hand, it is frequently the case that the citizen who does not pay hi* taxes is 'the one who owes the Smallest amount in proportion to his ability to pay, and thus hU non-pay- meat increases the 'IxurdSens -of those ■who pay. t t , This is plain talk, Mr. Editor, but it 13 itha truth. It Is not intended for those who ore willing: to oxv and can not; there are sonne such, no*s many. Bat it i* UMttod#d tor those who can and do not, and they arf* many. It may not be very convenient for them ito do bo; it may be more agreeable to Invest in pleasure or profit. M lMJ can pay their taxes, and ought to do B< 5hr»t. because it la a debt they owe. Second, bechuae 'it puts tCiem in a position to perform another duty; that of voting for good men and good gov ernment. , . . Third, the right to oABt a lawful vote; to have a voice in the government of. one's country is aai inestimable privilege; one ifitfat million* of men have fought and died lor: that mill ions are struggling' for today through out the world. Is >a small sum of money lo stand us a ba-nrler 'between an intelligent and patriotic citizen wnd the highest function of hla political manhood? I presume not. Such men do not in tend to disfranchise themselves per petually. * The amount of default is smaller •now Chfin It will ever be. and the good citizens of M’acon have the best opportunity; to use Chelr ballots,wisely and well, than they have hud far many a year; that th&y muy (have for many a year to come. They have It in their Dower to eleat siix good al dermen, who will give them a good, conservative city government: an tad- mtob'tration of our Tnunlcloal affairs that will give us peace, good will, har mony and confidence « t home, credit, dharucter, good standing und honor abroad; aldermen who will see that the town are impartdfiuly and faith fully enforced; thut public money is expended for public purposes only; who will (have no frlend3 to reward: no enemlec to punidh and who will'do all in tlhetr power to promote the general welfare of a city and a people In which and In whom they hiave nil the\r dearest right* 'amd Interests. These men are already in the field, havlaR been nominated by our Good Government Club, .not in the spirit of dictation or cCflas rule, of revenge or animosity, prejudice or onor^Ksrion, fac tion or partisanship, Puritanism or PWarlseelom. but In 'the spirit of pa triotism and In the cause of good gov ernment.

Let me attempt to throw a ray of light Into the cavern of darknese and try to suggest what are the sums generally giv en by knowing people In England under various circumstances. To begin with, let us take the simplest cose, that at an unmarried man, who stops from Saturday tilt Monday in the house of a-yfriend who keeps only a parlor maid or single man servant. Here half a crown should be quite enough for the servant. In the case of a married couple, the lady. It without a maid, adds half a crown for the housemaid. The coachman. If there Is one, must have hls shilling after driv ing you to the station. If the visitor stops for a week he should make his donation four shillings. He should allow, that Js, about sixpence a night and sixpence over ao a £k*rt of ground tax. We oome next to the case of Saturday to Monday In a more elaborate estab lishment, 1, e., where a butler and a foot man are kept. Here the Saturday-to- Monday guest must distinguish. As the footman looks after him, the footman should have half a crown and the butler also half a crown, Jn consideration of tho fact that the butler will probably order your fly for you and look you out your trains. If, however, the footman is kept In the background altogether and the butler valets you, Che butler takes the wrhole five shillings. If you stop for a longor time, say a week, these sums should be raised to four or five shtllinga In eaoh case. ' „ . , ,• . 4 If tho visitor brings a man of his own, the tip to the footman of course disap pears, but that to the butler usually re mains. When tho really great eetafcllsh- ments ere reached, different rules pre vail; the ordinary bachelor guest need perhaps only trouble himself about the apeolal footman told off to wait on him. unless the butler is an old friend, or haa to be asked to do something out of the way, there Is no cause to tip hhn.—The National Review.
