IN the State of New York twenty four cities have elected Democratic | Mayors and six cities Republican , Mayors. When we remember that this is the State which has a deciding voice between the two great parties the tendency toward Democracy be comes significant. THE prosperity of a town is not gauged by the wealth of its inhabi tants, but by the uniformity with which they pull together when any important undertaking is to be ac complished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and a love for his town in his heart, can do more for the upbuilding of it than the millionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his fingers at home progress. "PROTECTION is a good thing only when it is the servant of the people; it is one of the worst of things when it becomes their master and sets up great monopolies to plunder them. It is not then protection, but aggres sion, and it should be dealt with ac cordingly. Congress can get rid of nine-tenths of the trusts if it chooses to do so. It would take no greater effort to do it than by taking away | their means of life—the duties which shut out foreign competition and en able them to absolutely control our 1 markets."—Philadelphia Even in g\ Telegraph {Rep.). Correspondence From the Capitol. WASHINGTON, March 25, '9O. The reported serious consideration by the Senate of a proposition to abolish the "Press Gallery" and to imprison the newspaper men in retaliation for the re fusal by correspondents to reveal the sources of information upon which they based dispatches purporting to detail proceedings and doings and sayings in secret session of the Senate, is not sur prising to some of the "old stagers" hereabouts, who remember that at dif ferent times in years gone by similar talk was indulged in and for somewhat kindred reasons. Probably never but once or twice did the Senate succeed in j finding out just how and through whom the Senate secrets leaked out. Nearly fifty years ago a Senator from Ohio gave out to a newspaper man a copy of cer tain very important secret documents, and their publication in a New York paper excited the indignation of the Senate to such an extent that a resolu tion to expel the Senator from the body was introduced, but as the matter was debated the heal of the Senate gradually toned down, and the matter finally dropped. Another instance was afforded during the term of Senator Cragin, as a Sena tor from New Hampshire. His copy of the correspondence relating to the Treaty of Washington was accidentally lost and some wicked newspaper man got it and published the important matters which the document contained. Therefore, an investigation was promptly ordered, and one of the first things accomplished was to find out, by the voluntary statement of Mr. Cragin, that he had lost his copy of the important secret document in question. His perfect honesty and frankness disarmed criticism aiid was let off with mild though serious admon ition not to do so again. Newspaper men feel bound in honor never to reveal the sources of their in formation, and all who know anything about newspaper men's affairs arc well aware how important it is that they j should keep faith implicitly, under all circumstances. Therefore, it is not atall ! remarkable that in this instance, as in : others that have gone before, the corre- j spondents questioned by the Senate in- [ vestigating committee should have "de- j clined to answer," even at the risk of I being "committed to close custody for 1 the contempt committed against the j Senate by their refusal to answer the questions proposed to them." * * An effort will be made in the Senate I to-day by Senator Plumb to displace the Blair educational bill with his land grant | forfeiture bill. If the motion to super cede it on the calendar by the forfeiture bill is successful, in all probability it will not again he heard from at this ses- ; sion of Congress. If the hill should be further discussed under the present or- j der, it will not occupy all the time of the Senate until a vote is reached to the ex clusion of other business, as but one or two speeches are to he made on the measure, besides the summing up by Senator Blair, which is limited to one hour by the resolution of the Senate. Senators Aldrich ami Faulkner, who have taken great interest in the opposi tion to the bill, believe that there is a good majority of the Senate pledged against it. They are assured that sever al Senators who have voted for the' measure in past years will vote against I it at this time, and they are counting on 1 the votes of the Senators from the new States to defeat it. Among the diplomats seen on the streets of Washington Sir Julian I'aunce fote is probably the most notable. He is generally accompanied by one of his attractive daughters. They are evident ly bent on exploring the city, for one finds thein in the most out-of-the-way places. Count Yon Arco Valley is also a notable figure, lie is so tall and blonde tliat one would turn to look at him any way, but the dog he holds by u string and his one glass makes him the ob served of observers. The delegates to the Pan-American Congress attract a great deal of attention, and they are evidently delighted with our lovely Capitol, for they wear continual smiles. The Chinese attract much attention, but they rarely go any distance from the legislation, which is opposite Dupont Circle, where they take their exercise. It is amusing to see the minister's wife out for an airing. Her little feet seems hardly fitted to hold her, and one won ders if it does not give her pain to walk. H.

D., 1890, the Au ditors of Foster Township, after having com pleted the audit of the accounts of the officera of said township, and finding that some of the accounts, although just and true, are irregular, and not as they should be, make the following suggestions as to what they consider the duties of the officers of said township : Ist. When the Collector is authorized to col lect more than one tax, or kind of tax, a separ ate account must be kept for each, and when payment is made by him to the Treasurer the amount paid on each tax, Ki>cciul or regular, should in every case be mentioned. The Col lector, not being authorized to act as Treasurer, should not receive as money, orders drawn oil the Treasurer. 2d. The Treasurer should keep a separate ac count for each fund and in no ease apply the money collected for one purpose to another. 3rd. The Supervisors should, as nearly as possible, keep within the regular tax levy, and at the beginning of each year take such steps as will, (luring the current year, settle up all accounts of the previous year, and thus pre vent the accumulation of stale claims and de mands. Recapitulation of the present condi tion of the finances of Foster township, showing the present indebtedness as far as can be ascertained. DR.
