TVe de net knew the motives of all
these men, but we are decidedly of the
opinion that they show very geed sense
In refusing te go te Washington when
"they havobU3inessef their own requiring
their attention at home. There is nothing
attractive in a Washington life te a man
of domestic tastes, and one who is devoted
te his profession or business, as strong
men generally are. Hetel or bearding
house life is net agreeable te him.
Late bouts and dissipations are net te
his taste. Separation from his family Is
; painful. The salary that he gets does
net compensate him for his broken busi
ness ; and the rame that Is te requite
, him he cannot get in t lie bear garden
Inte which he iJ thrust, unless he is a
cheeky jack-in-the-box fellow, who is
'always scrambling te get en his legs and
acting for the leperter's gallery. Cen
gressmen's Instincts are net always gen.
tlemen'rf instincts, and the congress
man's life i) net that of the independent
self respecting citizen who gees about
his daily business with his conscience
only as his monitor.
There are many very clever men of
different kinds whein-s congressional
life sulta very wU. It suits these who
loveaJifcx-of ease and like te bs paid

active bustling man win is never happy
unless he attending te ether people's

te saving the country. It suits the man
who loves notoriety. It suits him. who
eniejs geed company. It is jus1; the
thing for a sociable man, who can ab
serlfa gteat deal of sociability without
coming te grief ; but for the "geed
fellow" of limited absorbing capacity, it
a net tlw place.

Is required te pay a tax Klthin two yeara

represents tliose who did net pay their
poll taxes at previous elections within

enumeration s:rae who for the sake of
s 'certainty have paid their taxes twice,
;r but these will hardly be a very con

cast two bundled iheimnd votes at any

that ery much moie than ene half of
the voting population paid a poll tax for

They 'announced soma tlme before the
election that every voter would be ex

party adherent found that rjls committee
would net leek after it, he sought the
collector and paid It himself. The plan
is said te be already a success. Some

Ing in the mind of the voter a better ap

the Democratic city committee of Phila

the discrepancy in the figures given
above, many paying taxes personally
that were perhaps paid by the party
committee within the two years. The

"I was iu America iu 1833, nnd took

while upon the whele hber was better

Last evening Moero & Helmes' British
burlesque oempany appeared in the opera
heuBO and the audience was small. The
troop is qutie strong anu includes a num.
ber et geed artists. They are very English,
hewever, and it crops out in almost every evory overy
thing they de or say. Their ideas of fun
are semewhat different from these of
American artists, en whom they are no
improvement. The Emmetts, are clever
seoteh artists and, geed singers, and Miss
Graoe Emmett has few equals iu tbe
character of an old Irish woman. Patriek
Feeny, is considered a line Irish oemodiau
en the ethor side and really is clever,
but the poeplo here have bscome se no ne no
custemed te sueh Irish aoters as Pat
Roenoy that they are net oatntQed with
othere. Madaline Resa, the lady ventrilo
quist, made a great hit with her talking
figures, and she is fully as fine in her busi
ness as any of the males. The great foature
of tbe show was the aorebatio performance
of the Cragg family whleh con
sists of flve persons, two meu
and three boys. They all appear en the
stage in full dress acd begin tumbling.
As they warmed up they took off their
coats and sottled down te biuluesu. They
tben give a most wonderfuloatertalnmout,
doing almost every feat that is posslble
and many whieh leek Impossible Ne
sueh an exhibition has ever been seen
hore, and it is doubtful if a batter troupe
of acrobats live. The audlonce almost
weut wild ever theso artists, aud they
wero reealled again and again. The ethor
matures or the ehew were ecarcely worth
noticing, tne conducing " absurdity, '
entitled " The Corsiean Brethers," beW
about the worst.

did net meet with the same ro re ro
ceptlon at the hands of the landlord
of the hetel at whieh he was stepping. He
proposed te run and abide in the place in a
manner net in conformity with law and he
was accordingly "bounced." The truth of
