ran Thievery l>e Mopped ? Ma. O’Cokoh To my mind there is hut one way, that is to reduce the action of the government to the nar row limits of absolute necessity. Nothing that is Important to the pul • lie convenience or public interest that can possibly be done through private enterprise must be left to the management of public persons. A doctrine something similar to this, but involving very radical side issues, was promulgated by a man named William Leggett, a good many years ago. At the time I did not think much of the idea, but experience and observation have convinced me of its truth. When the men ol’ ’7ti had completed their work they left tons one of the most substantial founda tions ever laid to support a super structure of government. They threw off monarchy, that form of govern ment which had been the banc of mankind from the time of Nimrod, abolished primogeniture andall those forms by which property was held bound up for generations. But in the development of the minutin' of gov ernment, in the working out of de tails of its machinery, some of the old monarchical forms were used, and they brought with them the in-! separable corruption with which they had been tainted for years. Don’t understand me as expressing a prof-j ereneo for a monarchy if 1 say that it i would be better to have the lords to I use these monarchical forms than some of those to whose care we in trust them. Thelords, although cor rupt, are men who have a posterity to look after, while those whom we elect look only to themselves, and by rob bing us hope to insure the comfort of their posterity. The Republic is on the verge of ruin, and nothing but a curtailment of governmental action will save it. THE COPBT OK VI'I'EAI.S. Before leaving Mr. O’Conor the re porter had a conversation with him regarding the Court of Appeals, du ring which Mr. O’Conor spoke of M essrs. Andrews and Tosger. In I connection with the election of one of these gentlemen he quoted some in teresting figures. It appears that in n certain district 171 votes wore east. All the Democratic Judges got 152 votes each, the Republican Judges l'J votes cadi. But by come strange frouk of calculation one of the pres ent Judges of the Court, who was on the Republican ticket, got 152 votes ; more than anybody else. Whore the | 152 extra votes came from is an ab sorbing question, as the total ballot cast was onlv 171. Including the vote given to the Judge spoken of, it should nave been 323. We quote from Gov. Tilden’s mes-1 sago of the 27th ult., to the New York Legislature : For ton years the people of this i State and of the country have been living beyond their means, and for sometime past they have been paying more taxes than they can afford. We arc now paying at the rate of $700,- 000,000 a year. In IKON 1 recollect asserting that we were then living on the froth of our riches; and warning the country that the prevailing >\- travaganoe could not go on without eating down below the interest into our capital. The time lias come. The capital of the majority of tax payers is effected by the prevailing rates of taxation. Every farmer, eve-1 ry small mechanic feds this, and is | sore about it. Where he used to pay $lO he came to pay $75 or SIOO. While business bettered in corres ponding proportion he could afford this without much grumbling; hut when taxation keeps on increasing as it has since done, while at the same time business and values collapse after over-inflation, the tax-payer of whatever order feels his pocket and looks around him asking, “Why?" The answer is simple: Rings, organ ized self-interests, have grown up and got tlie better of capital and industry. It takes a very small organized and disciplined force to sack an unorgan ized community of perhaps a hundred times their numbers. The collusion of a few alert, intelli gent men, bent on profiting them selves at the expense of the tax-pay ers at large was certain to succeed j during a period when the people j were too busy and ton prosperous to pay much attention to public affairs or to the character or calibre of pub- I licofflcerseleeted to defend their in terests. The day after the election of a legislator or a public official ho j was called ii|khi, and the man whose j interest it was to secure Ids favor didn’t let him go. It would bo owing to uncommon ! strength of character and stiffness of judgment, if the public servant was not soon prevented from doing any public good. But now the public themselves arc beginning to look into this matter. They feel the op pression of the load they carry. They inquire how it can be lightened. To show them the way is to win t lu-ir co operation in ttie measure. The effect of this popular attention to public affairs is not so apparent now as il will bo later, and will not be so great! this year a- it will be the next. Mexico. Work has been commenced on the! railway from Guadalajara to Han Pedro. Lighting the city of Mexico costs, on an average $15,000 a month. The MunUiir maintains, in spite of the denial of the D'uie'm Ojirinl, that Mr. Deltln Hanchez has been ordered out of the country. Hunchez is a Spaniard wild married the daughter of President Juarez. In November next the steamers of the New Orleans line will commence < direct trips between Vera Cruz and ! New Orleans, omitting the ports of Tuxpun and Tampico. The passages will then be made In three days. The Messrs. Alexander at the same time, will place a line of coasters, to in- 1 elude the ports of .Tampico and Tux-! pan. A severe earthquake has been felt in Zacatecas. Iron safes are now manufactured in the City of Mexico. A cotton factory is to he established at I’aapan. Workshops have been established in the jails of Oaxaca. The culture of coffee is rapidly de veloping about Cordova. Seventy-live vessels were anchored off Oarmen on the 9th ult., loading with dye woods. The Apaches continue their raids into Sen ora. Ga/rex/on .Yeti's. ttliai a Frenclnnaii sa> AOmil it. M. Simonin is a Frenchman, who has visited New York for pleasure, and safely returned to Paris. He is, therefore, a remarkable man, for few French men ever left Paris who were able to stay there in the lirst place. M. Himonin, of course, writes to the magazines to the Re rue dr. Oru.r Mtjudrx — about what hu saw over iiere. He says New York is the capi tal of America, and in a few years will lie the capital of the world. In cluding the fringe of cities which have slopped over from New York, as it were, the city has now 2,000,000 inhab itant*, and in 1900 will have 4,000,000. But he lias seen dead cats lying in the streets, and the cuisine at the hotels is barbarous. Accounts by mail and telegraph from the Ninth District show trretty conclusively that Mr. Hill will be chosen as the next nominee of the Dejnoemtie party in fbnt District. W. J. WATT. J. A WALKER.
