WBDNFS.1AY EVENING, MAIt, 1D.I0H4.
A Patent Fraud.
Jtfr. Henry Wntloraen Is the one man
la the nation driven by his reflections
upon the tariff question te muJncss ; or
perhaps it would be mero correct te Bay
that Mr. Wutleraen is the ene madman
la the country whose dUease Is nggmva
ted by his consideration of the tariff
Issue. Fer Mr. Watterson hai net such
a Are proof reputation for sanity
that will enable us te decide off hand
that the tariff Is responsible for the ex.
treme drgree of mental excitement
Which he manifests in considering It.
Mr. Watterson Is a Democrat and the
editor of n Kentucky newspaper. Mr.
WftttcrBen four years age had the for
tune te cast into words the declaration
upon the tariff question of thn national
Democratic convention; and thereby
castltstickottedefe.it. Mr. Watterson
hat ever since gloried in this achieve
ment ; uet In the defeat of which he
cannot Iks persuaded te believe that his
unwise words were in any way provoca prevoca proveca
tivebut In the elevation which he at
tained, through its dire fate, as the tariff
oracle of the Democratic party. Mr.
"Watterson, ever since, has Imagined
himself as sitting ou high, dictating
tariff doctrine te the Democratic party,
as its one esiecially annotated low tariff
high priest. Mr. Watterson at the as
sembling of the present Congress was still
further confirmed In his judgment of
his mission by the selection as speaker of
Mr. Carlisle, whom he advocated. It
has received some rude shocks since, In
the discovery that neither Mr. Carlisle
nor Mr. Morrison, nor any ether consid
erable ntiuib.T of the Democratic repre
sentatlves, folio whim in hi3 red mouthed
advocacy of free trade and hi3 revolu
tionary desire te upset everything in the
country te get down te a tariff for rev
enue only. It was a cruel shock te Mr.
Watterson that Mr. Morrison prejwsed
only a twenty per cent, tariff reduction ;
but as he conceived himself te be in the
van of the frte trnde army, he had te
shoulder the Morrison bill, sadly as it
went back en a tariff for revenue only,
or be left alone. Watterson would
net ba at home behind a crowd. A po
sition In the rear would make him sick
unto death. He is net In Congress, nor
iu public etllce, and has a newspaper at
Louisville ; but his excited patriotism or
meddlesemeness keeps him In Washing
ten, where he parades before his readers
ns a shaper of public action. The real
truth is that Mr. Watterson Is largely a
fraud. He is restkss as a bee and noisy
ns a mill ; but he makes no honey and
grinds no grist ; liis leu I words lacking
the geed sense te make them effective.
Let There be Ujrlif.
We give the Maxim electric light
company the benefit if the publication
of the inspection by Its elllcials of the
condition of Its lamps ; and we Invite
our readers te contrast these reports
with thofe of the pelicu. The electric
lUht men say that when they go out te
loe't at the lamps they caunet set) any
policemen nnd intimate that the ellicers'
reports nw unreliable. It is obvious
that a report of the actual condition of
every Jump in the city could
only be made by observations of
it all the night through ; and it
Is altogether likely that the police may
at times see a lump uet working well,
which may have recovered by the tim"
the company's inspectors get around te
It, but ns the positlve testimony of one
person 1 worth mere than the negative
evidence of a score, we Incline te the
belief that there nre quite ns many de
fective larapj as are reported by the
police, and which of late run from
twenty te forty. We are strengthened
in this opinion by personal knowledge of
the inaccuracy of the report 'urniahed te
day by the Maxim company. The writei 's
own observation of the lam pa at Che3tn ut
andLlme, and at Orange and Shlppeu,
inform him that neither of these lights
was geed last night ; at times they
showed no light at all, and ttiey worked
very badly ns long as they were ebserv
ed. These instances within tw siiuares
convince, us that there worellKoly many
ethers evor tlie city In the sunt) condi
tion which are net repeiiul by the
Maxim; and that its stub meutsnie
Inveracleus and unreliable.
When it is remembered that this e m
pany has contracted te furnish 120
lamps of 2 000 caudle power each and
that net a lamp in the city gives that
amount of light, or anything near it ,
that nlmest its entire apparatus works
badly or irregularly, und that It new, by
its own reports, shows its Incapacity or
unwilllngne3J te deal with thoaiuiatlen,
reasons strengthen why councils should
abregate a coetract se prematurely
cntercd into.

device of the politicians te establish and
maintain as many petty oillce holdings
asposslhle. It is worked for all It is
worth, There Is a considerable amount
of chicanery, first, In the appointment of
the collectors; then some of them, as ex
perlence lias shown, make an extra profit
out of their elllces by paying in the county
tax and getting the ilve per cent, abate
ment, while they afterwards collect the
whele amount from the tax payers ;
x ethers still, given until late iu the year
'te settle with the county, have the use of
the funds for months, the meney of the
people being collected from thorn In

woman with her bauds claipcd in entreaty
aud a prosperous looking niau with flushed
face were the occupants of the vehicle.
Tbe man was strl leg te loosen the girl's

the scene, te find the euug woman almost
exhausted, hut etill desperately clinging
te the cirrhue deer. The frantic eirl
proved te be tae servant of the man iu the
co tub, aud his cmpauieu was the bride
of a few hours.
" sdie is crazy," explained lhe man ;
" t ikeher away."
ull the servant maintained her heM.
Tbe cither cautiously concluded te take
a'l concerned te the station heuc, despite
thn entreat 'cs of the bride and grixmi.
Te tbe "rgeaut at thn police station the
man told liis tery. It was te the rtfeet
that he aud bis bride woie married that
night at the rc.sideuce of the l.vly, at
Mount MerrH avenue nud One Hundred
aud Twenty-necend street, and had goue
te the livery "tabtote start ou their wed

by cliuclui te the coach deer. She had
been the servant of the groom uutil bin
marriage. Ttia groom uave his name as
Ferdinand Br.uin, of Ne. 177 East One

faint and her lin-bs refused te support her.

te die if she could net no with him. Fall-

way entirely. She said that she had saved
up i 100 and wished it te be used iu bury
ing her decently. In the sight of the ser
geaut and the wedding party she lest her
senses and fell into a stupor that was eup eup
pesr.l te be death.
The seri;raut telegraphed for an ambu
lance, and, finding no caue te detain tbe
bride and irroem, allowed them te take
their coach and start en their se sadly

Mr. Brauu was a widower aud has two
children a mrl of ten years and a boy of
13 years. He maile love te me and made
me believe he would marry me. I believed
what he said and was happy, for I loved
him. It was only the ether day I found
out that he was going te marry another
gul, the daughter of wealthy people who
live at Mount Morns avenue aud 122d
street. Her uauie is Fauny ; that is all I
Itn.iw. She is rich. I am peer. I have
only what I have saved out of my wages.
List night the wedding took place at the
girl's parents' house. I did net want te
live when I knew it. I bought the poison in
a store en the northwest corner el One
Hnidred nnd Tenth street aud Thud
avenue ten cents worth and kept it
with me. At miduight, when I knew
they were going te start from the stable
in 0..c Hundred and Twenty fifth street,
wbere the coach was waiting for them, I
weu'. around there and waited. I took
the poison when I beard them coming and
tried te get into the cab wnh them, that I
mi -lit d,e there. Mr. Braun told the driver
te duvoeii and l.ave me. Oh '. Then I
forget what happened we were at the

recta reputable journal's editorial utter
ance which is its own best refutation It
is undeniably true that Inslmten have a
better opportunity te win lame nud for

their own loved isle. Nene, however, but
tbe blindest bigots and the most shallow.
raiuded scribblers attribute this tcvilt
te the stated cause that Irelan I " gels her

Further en in the editorial nlluded te,
use is made of the views of ene 15 b?rt
Haydn, described as " a streug Catholic,''
who was eagle eyed enough te see in the
pipal circular ou the Pannll testimonial
an evidence that tbe church vas playing,
unwillingly perhaps, into thn hands et
England. This doubtless would be news
of the most startling character te Mr.
Paruell. Pope Lee's euduct iu this
trying matter was well worthy his otllce
as spiritual ruler of the great bulk of the
Christian world. When prioste with mero
zeal than discretion advocated from the
altar collections for the Lind League, a
purely political and nt at all a religious
body, he gently rebuked them, as
he would have dene had the col
lections been for any ether purpo&e
net essentially religious. Se thought
Paruell at the time and se think te day all

Hen with unclouded reason.
Oqe mero word iu regard u the
editorial alluded te above. Irishmen in
this land of t'm free have risen te tbe
highest places iu the gift of the citizens,
but se long as Art. II Section 1 of the
constitution of the United States remains
in fore, it is hardly probable that any
Irishman wiil reach the presidency.

About miduight, arter Labar had relind

an investigation, wheu a sharp unearthly
yell from a wildcat made the very air
jingle. He seiziid a stick of weed anil,
without stepping te make a light, pto pte pto
pareJ for combat.
The animal sprung upon his shoulders,
but Lbar shook it off nnd delivered a
stuuuing blew with his elub. Fer fifteen
raiuutcs the conlliet raced with vigor, the
brute leaping from wall te wall, clluging
te the paper with its sharp claws aud thou
bounding upiu itd opponent, soreeehing
with fury aud with eyes shining like coals
of flra.
At last Labar dealt the c it adeath blew

" I see no reason why Mr.Giny'a irquest

"The fact that n.y wife's llfe will be

" This diecusiien is a wail that has been

that hair of the churches should go down

He did tint bt'lieve the bishop is helplens
iu the matter, as be was placed in his po
sition rer the defense of ttie mini.iters, as
well ns for the care or the chureh. It is in
your power and your privilege te cay, Mr.
lishep,.iaid he. I doubt very much whether
il an application bad eunie from Cherry

powerless iu tbe matter. (Uui.it appl,;ue
and cries of " Hear ! Hear."; Our
Motbedism should be a unit, and Cherry
Valley should have as much rcapeet paid

A representative of the lNTi:t.i.ier.sci:u
had a brief talk yesterday with ex County
Commissioner James Weed, of Little
Britain, en the matter of collecting the
state and oeunty taxes. Mr. Weed states
that If we bail in Laucaster county the
same mode of collecting the taxes
that prevails in Clienter ceurty we
would save from 13 000 te $13,000
per annum, in the cost of collection. In
our county, as is well known, the taxes
are collected by collectors appointed for
that purpose in tlie seicral towns nnd
townships, by the county commissioners.
The total commissions paid te the cullue
ters amounts te about $15,000 per annum.
Iu Chester c unity there nre no tax oel
lectors, the taxes: beiug gathered by tbe
county treasurer, who leceives for that
Borvieo a salary of $1,000 prr
annum, iu addition te the usual
fees of bin oflice. Te nccomme
date the taxpayers, tbe oeunty treasurer
gives notice that he will sit te reaeive
taxes ou certain dates in West Chester,
Oxford, Ceatcsville, Dowuingtewn nmi
ethor oeutres of populttleu. In this way
the taxes aie collected promptly, closely
and economically. The amount of tax te
be collected iu Laucaater county is net
tteiee as large as that of Chester county,
but we could nft'erd te pay our oeunty
treasurer twice as much, say ir2,000, for
collecting thorn, nnd save $13,000 per year
by the operation, beaides gieatly Himpli
fying the inauuer of collection, anil having
but ene jiorsen te suttlu with, instead el
forty, ns at present.
Air. Weed says that the Chester emnty
taxes are collected uuder a spoeial law,
and that thore need he no dillluulty iu
scouring a similar law for Lmoister
oeunty.
In this city thu school tax is oellootod
by the treasurer of tlie soheol beard in
much the same way that the county taxes
nre collected lu Cheeter county J with this
dlfferonce that the treasurer is allowed a
commission of 2 per cent, instead of a
stated salary. Thi.i is a much faiier rate
than the B per eeut., which a majority of
the county collectors rccolve.
