TheJfcu Tra nasumcs that "when Mayer MncQonigle'a bump of economy swells be big U9 te demand n rap from Select Councilman Evans, his honor would de well te pauBO and rcvlse his reckonings." This assumption does no credit te tlie IntclllRcnce or fairness of our esteemed contemporary. If it will oxittnlne the facts aud figures of the Issue between the mayor and the chair- man of the street committee, arising out of the vetoed preposition te transfer $1,600 mere from the contingent fund te tlie street appropriation, it will discover that Selcet Councilman Evans has been favoring a me3t flagraut " mlsappreprla tlen " and indulging in 4I clap trap " in defense of It. In opposition te this resolution of councils, the mayor presented ns nn in vincible reason against it a statement of expenditures amounting te mere than twice as much as the present balance of the contingent fund, which he says are due and payable this year. Mr. Evans says that certain of them nre net Let us see. The items of $000 for asses Bera' pay, $00 for ice, &c , are slngled out by Mr. Evans as expend ture3 which can properly be met out of next year's appropriations. Xebady knows better than Mr. Evans that the assessors' pay for the servlces they are new rendering cames out of this year's receipts. It has been customary at the closing of tlie appeals, held always in April, for the 11 11 nance committee te approve the asses sers' bills for $100 each, and these bills have invariably been paid immediately when there was money in the contingent fund. If they were net paid It was b8 cause there were tee many raids en the contingent fund, as there were this year. But the3e bills were due, and will be again next April, when the assessors con clude their work and hand ever their baeks te the treasurer. Sj with the item for ice which the station house, treasurer's aud mayor's eflicea received last summer and up te tills time. And nothing is plainer than that the mu niclpal management should provide for each yeir'a expensM out of that year's receipts. Mush of the caufmlen and frequent embarrassment of the fiscal affairs of our city government result from the imprudent and unbusinesslike system we have fallen into of taking the money out of the next year's receipts te meet this year's appropriations. This is particularly the ca33 with the water rents, aud if the zeal of the chairman of the street committee did net blind his judgment as chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Evans would try te reform rather thnu te extend this system of robbing Peter te pay Paul. But, shifting his greundMr. Evans maintained also that the contingent fund would be swelled before the end of the fiscal year te meet the extraordinary drains upon it, by moneys coming in from the payment of the Welchaus de falcatien. Mr. Evans knows as well as the ma or that of the $2 00(J received from this source, or of the balauce yet te be paid in, net a dollar can be touched for contingent or any ether expense ex. cept by appropriation. There was a specific sum given the contingent f at the beginning of ihe fiscal year, una no mere than that amount can be spent it there were millions in the treasury ss. cept by appropriating ; "and when the chairman iya te the contrary he is using " Che veriest clap trap " that was ever heard from se astute a financier. Besides , the entire amount of this defalcation was appropriated two years age, and In the year that the defalcation occurred every dollar of the city's receipts vr,u divided among the various appropria tions. Jf the Inte treasurer failed te return the city ever $4,000 is it nottrue that our appropriations nre that much short yet,unles3 made up from seme ether source ? The iVete Era's assumption of the in fallibility of Mr.E vans' judgment is sad ly disturbed by the fact that In 1577, when tlie mayor pointed out that the Bystem of anticipating appropriations with expenditures, would result in large deficiencies, Mr. .Evans sturdily denied It and pronounced tliose apprehensions as "clap trap " Aud yet in the succeed ing July nn ordinance had te be passed adding $30,000 te the city debt te meet these deficlences which occurred by the very sameplan as Mr. Evans new advo cates, robbing the contingent fund te swell the street appropriations and then currying evor the contingent expenses of this year te be met out of next year's appropriations. Helling Together. Editor Watterson, In the natural de sire te sail in company with his chosen chief, has trimmed his sails en the tariff question, since the election of speaker te bring his beat Inte line with the dii ee tler which Mr. Carlislegave te his craft. Mr. Watterson lind very boldly and con spicuously been carrying up te this time a heavy spread of free trade sails. He had been the author of the declaration in the last national Democratic platform in favor of a tariff for revenue only. When Mr. Carlisle said that he was for a tariff for rovenue be nrranged as te give adequate protection te home industries, llr. Watterson evidently needed te tack te stay in company, and tack he did ac ccrdingly. That is all right, even if he believes in free trade. He makes but a proper concession te tlie sentiment or the political party he works with by assenting te moderate protection as u present need of the country and post poning free trade te that future time when the interests of tlie nation will secure It as its policy. Free trade adve. cates and protectionists will meet again under the old Democratic doctrines of a tariff for rovenue with Incidental pre tectlen, or a tariff for protection, with incidental rovenue, just nseach ene cheeses te put it, A tariff for revenue nnd protection is certainly the present need of the country. We cannot afford te cut the threats of our mauufae turers by letting in foreign products In the lnrgest pcsilbte quantity, aa n tariff for revenue only would demand, nor can we heavily burthen t he consumers with a tariff rate that will cnable the home manufacturer te make an umlue profit. It is all straightway Bailing te deter, rninoaseur policy that duties shall be laid with the joint purpose- of revenue aud protection ; we can all get along comfortably together en that doctrine. The point of delicacy comes in the adjustment of the balance between the reveuue and protection sides of the scale , te put en enough protection te keep home industries lean and com fortable and net enough te make thorn fat I and lusty. Some very excelleut Deme oratsnre persuaded that the constitution ,. nnt ,inP,, timfnr,,ftn. ,,, Minr have seme process of reasoning which satisfies their consciences that protection may no constitutionally coupled with reveuue In levying imposts. It would seem that It Is constitutional te protect if it is constitutional te collect and pro tect ; but the point is net material se long as it is conceded that the constitu tion sanctions protection with revenue, for we de net enjoy it alone. Tin: newsmongers who put atleat a story that Mr. Randall had a govern ment empleye driving Ills coach nnd drawing his pay from the federal treasury concocted an awkward canard. Mr. Randall is se well known te be scrupu lously careful net te mix his private concerns with public affairs, as se many heedless statesmen de, that this story was net likely te be believed where he was known. But a circumstantial de nial of it comes in the statement that whilen night watchman at ene of the departments has been for eleven years doing odd jobs for Mr, Randall during the hours when he is off duty, he receives pay from Mr. Randall for ills work at current rates, aud neither he nor his son holds nubile employment by Mr.Randall's favor. As Mr. Randall's equipage con- sists of a $90 horse and corresponding carriage his requisitions upon a " coach man's services " are net very exhaust ing. Fii.vnk II uitn proposes teatttek the tariff in detail. He will move separate bills for free salt, free sugar, free copper aud ether commodities, tmstir, r te the defenseless position of each one of these interests when standing alone. Mr. Morrison's rovenue reform ideas com prehend a different character of assault. IIe is for a general aud comprehensive version, " taking ene consideration with ane'.hcr." Meanwhile it is interesting te note that all the eutgivings from Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Watterson at the pres ent time Indicate a conservative dispesi tien and accord with the last Ohie platform, subsequently adopted in Vir ginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and accepted by Mr. Randall as fairiv representing his economic views. i It is te be hoped that the present- snow fall will be a shroud for theburial of base ball discussion until nest summer.

AN OLD HUNTER. UltlSllIN SUU,IH ANl HIS l'l.ns. TIip Cliniuiilen Vex Untclitr el Lancaster mid Dlirster C'ountlej UH Mnny Treiililrj et 1 tit, C'!nn. I'nl a.:elpiil.i Kreeid Hrlsblu Sidles, uouewy haired, boulfaeo, Is the champion fox catcher of Lancaster and Chester counties. He Is the " mlue host " of ii public house lu the thinly populated lumlet of Nine Point, which is situated soveral miles " evor the hills " south el Christiana station, ou the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad. The sports of the two oeuutte8 named nre new greatly exercised whother Skiles this sea son will be able te beat his previous record of twenty Reynards caught. Thore have been any number of wagera inade. and at the present tltne the odds are deoldedly In favor of the old man. He has already eighteen llve foxes chaiued fast upon his premises, aud Is coufldent that he will be able te orewu his declining years with a score that will put any competitor who may fellow lu his foetstops te the blush. The euly rival whom Skllca ltnsnuy reason te fear Is Frank t'layton,,whe lives near Markhalltewu, iu Chcster comity. But for thirty years Sidles has bcen the cham pion, and be proposes te remain such until either death or old age removes him from the aotlve list. Champien Sidles has been living at his present rosldeuce for only two years. He moved there from Mount Vernen, eight miles north from Christiana, two years age. Since he was 14 years old he has beeu a famous hunter of Reynard, nnd nays he can't tell hew many foxes he has captured since he began the business. His son said : "Pep sat down t'other day nud tried te figure up hew mauy foxes he had snatched since he wa3 a boy. 1 bohevo he get up te 500, and thou gae the calcula tion up iu disgust." The reperter was shown yosterday this season's catch. In the garret of the tav ern tho-.e were ohained saven splendid specimens of thoeommon fox, and iu the cellar wero olevon ethers. Twe of the col lection were extraordinarily large speci mens Skiles kceps nn immctise pack of hounds, te the great nunoyaneo of the clergy iu his section of the country. During the season Skiles U out en the hunt at least two days lu each woek. IIe scjurs the country e'er with herse aud bounds, but gonerally sticks te the reads. Siucc he has moved into Bart township foxes have beguu te multiply and are uew quite plentiful Once in a very great while a Philadelphia party visits him aud organizes a hunt. Theso viaits champion Skiles 03 teems a great honor, nnd an old fashioned country dinuer always rewards the huntsmen. Champien Skiles uevcr slaughters n fox.
