“Boss” Kelly has been overthrown.
Let others who would he “bosses”
profit by his example and escape his
fate.
Chesapeake City,Aid., with a popu¬

Here is a golden opportunity fora
young enterprising newspaper man
on the lookout for an opening.

•John Kelly has been deposed from
his position as Comptroller of tin
city of New York, and Mr. Allan
Campbell,J Commissioner of Public
AVorks, lias been appointed in his
stead. This intelligence will grati¬
fy the Democracy of the entire Un¬
ion.
There ought to he no legislation
on the subject of fixing the price of
interest. Money is worth just what
it will bring in the market; audit
ought to he allowed to bring just
what it is worth. It is a piece of
outrageous folly to force money¬
lenders to put out their money at
less than the market value if they
- lend it out at all.— Iahmadite.

The democratic party is not dying
out very # rapidly. Tilden’s vote was
4,284,264, and Hancock's t, bid,01 I.
The democratic party is, therefore,
larger than it was in 1876 by 1 >1,750
votes. And this, too, in the face of
the fact that a full democratic vote
was not polled in Georgia and most
of the other southern (pates.

The most costly building in the
country when completed will be the
great Mormon temple at Salt Lake
City,the cost of which is est imated at
$27,000,000. The next in cost is t he
Capitol at Washington. The third,
the yapitol of New York, still incom¬
plete; and after that, the New York
city court house.

The Silver Dollar.
According to one of the St. Louis
'papers the class in arithmetic in the
public schools of that city has not yet
taken up the dollar problem, but
when it does the examination will run
in about this wise;
Teacher—Now, boys, what is this 1
have in my hand?
All the hoys—It's a dollar.
Teacher—Yes; it's a legal tender
dollar. It is called the dollar of the
fathers. How much silver does it
contain?
Small hoy—412.1 grains.
Teacher—That’s right. Now,
what do you call this? It is also a
silver dollar, but what is it called?
Small hoy (after examination)—
It’s a trade dollar.
Teacher—That’s right. Now, how
much silver does it contain?
Small hoy—120 grains.
Teacher—How much is it worth?
No answer from the boys.
Teacher—Well, is it worth ninety
cents?
All the boys—It is worth ninety
cents.
Teacher—Now hoys,tell me why it
is that the dollar containing 4124
grains of silver is worth 100 cents,
while the dollar containing 420 grains
is worth only ninety cents?
Head of the class—Damtino.
It’s a question which must goto
Congress for settlement. The
boy there ought to be able to
this question, or ought to retire
Congress.— C/i ieago Tlnu».
The Railroad Commission.
Among all the reforms
by the railroad commission there
been none which is so important
the masses of the people as
proposed in the circular
elsewhere. It places the railroads
Georgia on the popular basis of the
great northern and western lines;
it affords facilities for much free
intercourse among the people; it goes
a great way toward the object of the
commission, which is to make uni¬
form, just and reasonable the
of the railroads. A reduction to
three cents a mile in passenger fares
may sound harsh to the railroads at
first, but there are evidently many
reasons why it cannot damage them
ultimately. Even they adraist that
travel will he greatly increased.
They have special rates below this
figure which can lie raised, and then
it must be remembered that cheap
travel is one of the great incentives
to immigration and that no interest
is more benefited by immigration
than the railroads. Even if the tem¬
porary effect of this circular is a
slight reduction in railroad revenues
and a small decline in their stocks
t he ultimate result of the experiment
will not he found injurious to them.
Two members of (lie commission, in
interviews which appear elsewhere,
give the philosophy of the reduction
so strongly that it must commend
itself to the fair-minded public.—

What the Democracy Need.
The Chicago Tinirs adheres to its
opinion that the Democratic party is
dead. The returns of the recent
election do not justify the opin¬
ion.
The total vote east for President
hv the Republicans and Democrats
was 8,875,420, of which Garfield got
4,430,115 and Hancock 4,430,014,
leaving Garfield the meagre major¬
ity of 3,401.
A party tlmt is beaten by barely
thirty four hundred votes in a eon
test where nearly nine million are
thrown, can hardly be regarded as
dead or dying.
Hancock’s defeat nitty he likened
to the failure of a party at a state
election to carry its candidate for
Governor by 34 votes in a contest
when 88,754 are cast.
The opposite party, which It,-id
saved itself by such a hair's breadth, 1
would he apt to look upon its an¬
tagonist as anything hut a corpse.
The Democratic party never cast
so many votes ns at the election ties
fall. It gave Hancock even a larger
.
number titan it gave Tilden in 1876,
when the latter was elected, hut was
cheated out of his office bv the pres¬
ent fraudulent President.
The Democratic parte has votes
enough. AYhat it needs is leaders
who are not knaves and not fools.—

The Secret Out.
James Rcdpath, who arrived
from Ireland Monday, spoke in
Newark that evening at the Irish
Lund League meeting. He said:
All this year there have been only
live cases of accidental death that
any one can attribute to the tenants.
One of the men kill was Lord Lei¬
trim. If lie had not been shot it
would have been an eternal ilis
grace. He had ruined thirty pure
girls, and the brother of one of them
went to Ireland from Chicago and
shot him down like the dog ili.it he
was. [Applause) 1 profoundly hon¬
or him for it ; and if 1 meet him in
Chicago 1 will congratulate him on
being a good shot. I hope he will
disclose his name, that wo may give
him a testimonial. Air. Fronde has
condemned that shooting, and 1
charge him with defending debauch¬
ery. It is time to speak out about
this thing. The Land League has
given the people new courage. Last
year they were crushed, but now they
act like free men. By socially os¬
tracizing every one who takes a farm
from which a tenant has been evict¬
ed, the people keep such farms va¬
cant.
Hesperat ion.
An Iowa editor recently to keep with
the styles ran away with another
man’s wife. He did not get off so
easily as he imagined he would.
The man followed him and over¬
took the truant pair. The editor
got behind the woman, and prepared
to sell his life as dearly as possible,
lie was uncertain whether the out¬
raged husband would shoot him or
murder him with a carving knife,
lie stood there like the boy on the
burning deck, and awaited the re¬
sult. The outraged husband came
up within about two feet of the edi¬
tor, and said:
your I want
you to stop my paper.”—That was
all. The editor recovered
and said he would have the matter
attended to at once. During all the
trying scenes the woman stuck to the
editor like a sand burr to a
sock. Some people get mad
stop their paper for almost
—it heats all.
