Ilnvoked and llrpndlnted.
The republican central committee ,
through a majority of Us members , ha :
issued a call for a primary election and
delegate convention , iiy this public
revocation the committee has rcputll
ntcd the high-handed Assumption ot pO ;
lltlcal conspirators to overthrow tltnc
honored ruptibltcan usage and arrogate
to themselves dictatorial and arbitrary
powers. This action on the part of thi
county central committee will meet tin
cordial approbation of every honest ant
reputable republican. The schcmo t <
pack the delegation from Doughu
county to the state convention was conceived
coived in iniquity and brought forth it
fraud. Its natural and inovitnbli
effect would bo the concentration o
dangerous powers in a few men whc
occupy positions on the central commit
tee. It would put them In position no
only to override thu will of the party b.i
provcnting.fair and frco cboice of dele'
gatcs.biit would practically place them h
position to perpetuate themselves as po
litical dictators. To establish a prece
dent that would recognize the authority
of a sub-committee to appoint state con
vcntion delegates would bo subversive
of the rights of the individual members
of the party. It would Introduce method !
which are clearly unrcpublicun and al
variance with every vital principle thai
underlies our political system.
AtlvlHttiK Extravagance.
Certain newspapers whoso labors arc
largely devoted to advocating non-inter. ,
fercncotvith the tariff , and whose ingenuity
uity is kept busy in framing arguments
to prove that the people must bo required
to continue paying tribute to monopolies ,
when confronted with the question ol
what shall be done with the surplus reve
nue from our present system of taxation
do not hesitate to seriously advise i\ sys
tem of extravagant government expendi
tures in oraer to dispose of it. Such
counsel was heard in the last congress ,
from men who enjoy a considerable do
grcd of public confidence , and it will
doubtless bo heard in the next. It has si
very numerous body of sympathizers
throughout the country , and they are nol
all of one party or one class. A policy ol
extravagant outlay on the part of a gov
ernment possesses an attractiveness thai
readily commends it to many people
who are not particularly concerned as tc
future consequences. It is a policy whicl ;
can bo advocated without the danger ol
making enemies for the advocate , for il
plausibly and eloquently urged , as it ad
mils of being , it can bo made to appeal
entirely philanthropic and for the good
of everybody.
The forms which government extravagance
aganco might take are endless , bul
iv few would be sufllcient to pro
vide a use for the present execs :
of revenue over necessary expenditures
The construction of a largo navy , ar
elaborate system of coast defenses , an extension
tension of internal improvements , and
increased facilities for commoico bj
granting general subsidies for ship build
ing. are the ways in which wo can easily
dispose of a hundred millions or more i
year to begin with. Later on , as our re
sources increase and national consump
tion becomes greater , if the revenues ol
the .government shall still bo found tc
leave a surplus , thorn will bo no difllcultj
in applying that also iu the same direc
tion , and so on until we have a navy thai
would bo the envy of the world
fortifications covering every rot
of exposed coast , all sorts of internal im
provements in every quarter of the laud
and Hoots of merchant steamers on everj
sea. What should bo done when all these
things hud boon provided is a matter
about which wo of to-day need no
bother. No one now living would prob
ably survive the consummation of r.l
these grand national enterprises , ami
posterity , having all this generous pro
vision made for it , could very properly
bo loft to look after its own interests and
affairs. Meanwhile monopoly woult
grow In strength and power , wealth
would pour into the coffursof wealth , and
the people the people would p.iy the
tribute and boar the burdens.
The intelligent masses of the United
States will not be deceived by the plausi
bio assurance of those who counsel c
policy of extravagant government ex
penditures. 'They understand that such
a policy would not only impose a contin
uous and perhaps endless burden upon
themselves , but bo a source of danger tc
the government itself. They know verj
well who would be the chief beueflciarie ;
of such a policy , and they have no wist
to see this class enlarged and givot
greater power. They see in the proposa
of this policy .tho evidence of tin
danger inherent in a surplus , am
they desire to avert the dangei
by destroying the cause. Am
above all , they want relief from the un
necessary and oppressive burden of thi
war tariff on the necessities of life , whicl
can bo secured in only one way , by tin
reduction of the tax levied on nearly
everything the people use. The relic
that may bo givou iu this way will b <
direct , certain and safe. Every consumoi
throughout the entire land would fee
it , for it would make itself apparent t <
him in the fact that his dollar had in
creased in purchasing power. This is
the policy which the farmers and workingmen
ingmon of America require , iu ordei
that they shall roccivo more nearly the
full fruits of thuir toil and have for the !
own use a part tit least of the tributi
they now pay to the protected monopo
lies.
County Hook-Keeping.
Iiy nil odds the most wretched systen
of book-keeping which wo know of prevails
vails in the county court house. Th
records of the commissioners' proceed
Ings and the goncral method of transact
ing business that involves over $300,000 :
year would hardly do for the owno
of a peanut stand , The proceedings o
the commissioners are not rr
corded for weeks , although n spooin
clerk ia retained and paid by the com
miyioncrs for this service in addition t
the county clerk. And the wrotchei
mess which comprises the so-called pro
cocdlngs is deficient iu the most ossontln
particulars. There is no record as t
which commissioner Introduces or sup
ports a resolution or order fo
the most important expenditure
no record how any member ha
voted on any proposition or scheme , ani
no mention of the respective sumsvotoi
and ordered to bo paid out of the count }
treasury. All that Is disclosed about tht
financial transactions ot the commls-
slonora ia in the shape of the
vouchers filed away. These voucher
are for the most part In such n
shape aa would bailie n Phil-
apclphla lawyer if ho wantcc
to go buhlud the returns to find out tin
quantity and class of material or laboi
and services paid for. The commlsalon
crs , for all wo know , imagine that theli
peculiar method of doing business is sat
Isfactory , but any merchant or firm thai
would countenance such a loose am
reckless system of bookkcopina
would soon find themselves on tin
highroad to ruin.
THE anil-civil democratic
- aor ice reform
cratic papers have secured more positivi
proof of the serious defects of the sys
tern. Hlshop Oborly has announced tha' '
ho will not resign his office just at pres

CHICAGO has broken her record. To

Other bands Than Ours.
Public Interest in Great Britain now
centers on Mitchollstown , where the trial
of O'Brion under the coercion act is in
progress. There is apprehension of seri
ous trouble before the trial shall have
ended. The popular sentiment is very
much aroused , and Dillon , Condon and
other loaders have signified their willing.
ness to brave the authority of the govern
ment in championing the cause of free
speech by public addresses. The authorities
itios have prohibited public meetings
during the progress of the trial , and sol
dicrs will occupy Mitchollstown in antic
ipation of a popular outburst. Neither
the warnings , nor the preparations ol
the government , however , appear to have
any terror for the populace , who await
but the signal from their loaders to mani
fest In no unmistakable way their dis
pleasure. So far as the result of the trial
of O'Brien is concerned it may bo re
garded as n foregone conclusion that ho
will bo convicted. If thcro is any con >
federation shown him it will be in the
sentence , but that ho will bo returned te
jail for such a term as the government
shall doom sufllciont as at' example no-
boby doubts. To what extent this will
further strain the toleration of the pee
pie remains to bo soon. It is evident that
the government has no thought of reced
ing from or materially modifying Jti
policy in Ireland. It will endeavor te
carry out its programme to the very las' '
act , and every expression of hostility tha
will furnish an excuse for doing so wii
bo welcomed. It is feared that such ex
cuses ill not be wanting. Michael
Davitt , who is now on his way to the
United States , is reported to have ex
press-pel an apprehension before leaving
Qucnnstown that the coming winter
would witness widespread disorder in Ire
land. Meanwhile the proscribed National
League is maintaining it firm front and
loses no opportunity to tell the
world that it proposes to pursue its waj
fearlessly , regardless of consequences ,
All those clrcumstanr.es combine to cre
ate the feeling that a very serious crisis
in Ireland is iniDondiug and may bo de
veloped within any twenty-four hours.

The recent manifesto of the Count ol
Paris will bo replied to by M. Houvlor
the French premier , before the reopen
ing of the chamber of deputies. It is an
nounccd that several of the cxtromisl
deputies propose initiating movement
in the chamber of deputies for the expul
sion from trance of all the Or-
loanist and Bonapartist princes , and
also that all property of these
princes that can bo discovero'd in France
shall bo confiscated. A good deal of at
tention has boon attracted to that portion
of Boulangor's latest address to the elli
cors in his command which hews tha
the general's war spirit is as active ft ;
ever. The name of Boulangcr , however
appears to be no longer one to conjure
with. He doubtless still has u consider
able following whoso faith is undimtu-
ishcd , but it would scorn that the massei
of the French people have become satis
fied that he is not the man to bo largely
entrusted with directing the destinies o :
the republic. Ho Is too fond of emptj
show and personal advertisement to im
press oven mercurial Frenchmen that he
possesses any of those solid qualifications
necessary to the wise exorcise of elevated
power and grave responsibilities. Ho can
bo more useful to Franco at the head o
an army corps than anywhere else.

to try to keep , .put foreign immigration
and foreign capital is giving that does-

matter there is llltln doubt that Groal
Britain will hear watching , After having
agreed to the natural and proper mode
of settlement afforded by arbitration
there should bo some moans found of

In the event that Venezuela , weak us she

it would bo strong testimony to her cer

A somewhat disquieting feature in the
latest news from the Emln Boy expedi
tion may at first seem to bo its account oi
the devastating war between the
Uganda nation and the Unyoro
waged in a region not very far d is tan
from that toward which Stanley , at the
latest tidings , was directing ills way
But it appears from this same account
that the fortune of war has changed , and
that King Mwanga has now been de
feated. This young monarch was
not well disposed toward Emln
whereas the king of Unyoro
had shown himself to bo friendly ,
It is clear , also , that Emin can co-operate
with Stanley , as he has been informed of
the hitter's approach , and is aw.iitlng
htm at Wadolai. The rotito of Stanley
would apparently , in any eve t , carry
him well to the northwest of tho'supposcd
region of war , and Emin's messengers
might also warn him of any danger.

to in t'io Zanzibar advicesmny not rclato

Richard Dudley Baxter , the eminent
British economist and stat'stioian , de
clared that the aim of English statesmen
should bo to reduce the imperial debt a ;
rapidly as possible , BO as to be prepared
for the seriouscontest , for commercial su
premacy against the United States when
the natural resources of England should
begin to fall. Robert Gifl'en , another em
inent British statistician , has just been
pondering on the same subject , but he
takes a less cloomy view of the mattoi
than Baxter entertained. He appears to
realize that the time is rapidly approach
ing when the iron and coal deposits ol
the United Kingdom will be exhausted ,
Ho believes , however , that the cost ol
imported raw materials of this class
would bo only a small disadvantage ,
which would bo more than compensated
for by the capital , skill and facilities for
manufacturing , in which particulars , hn
assumes , Great Britain will bo preeminent
nent among the nations.

Land speculators in Tokio and Iliogo ,
inapan , have suffered frpm the delay
in the signing of the treaty opening the
country to mixed residence. These
shrewd follows anticipated a great ad
vance in well-located villa sites near the
large cities ; so they bought heavily on
margin , counting on speedy sales to re
imburse them. The treaty commission
has earned on business with Oriental deliberation -
liberation , and the result is that the bottom
tom has already fallen out of the boom
before the treaty is signed. It is an awful
warning to booming on a narrow mar

A word tor every comer ;
There Is not a man In all the land
But who extends a ready hand
To greet the jolly drummer.
In business wise. In enterprise
As thrifty as a plumber ;
So chivalrous and debonair
This favored one that ladies fair
All lovu the gallant drummer.
His latest joke will provoke
A roar from o\ery bummer
That hangs around the village bar
Reflecting lustre from his star.
The gallant commercial drummer.

A freak of supernatural brood-

MIlS. JAOKMAN AOAIX. .
To Bo Examinee ! An to llcr Sanity
Her History. Y.
Mrs. Jaekman 1 $ still nn object of at
tention. After being llborntcd from nr-
rcst on the charge of theft und hiding m
a hay-loft for a titno , she was taken to the
residence of Mrs. Dr. Cuscadon. Hero
uho commonocd to net In a dccidodly
strange manner. Application wes * made
to the proper authorities to have
her examined as to her sanity. Dr
Tlldon , of the board of insanity , re
quested Mrs. Dr. Cusoadon to keep Mrs.
Jaoktnan for n week , until arrange *
muuts could bo made for the examina
tion. Last evening she scorned somewhat -
what subdued , but was still , raving.
Imagining herself on a railroad train.
Mrs. Dr. Uuscadon and Mrs , Golf
( from whom the ring and under
clothes were taken ) are both doing all 1 i
they can for the unfortunate ) woman. "
Her insanity Is ascribed to the starvation \
diet upon which she has been attempting
to live for the past live months. For
weeks she has had but ono meal a day , $
and that often but a solitary biscuit.
Street car riding wan too great n luxury , m
and on the hottest days she walked to ex
treme portions of the city to give her
music lessons. About six weeks ago she
was prostrated by sickness as a result
of this method of living , and It Is now ro-
mombcrcd that since then she has not \ i .
acted as before , although then it waa not
at all suspected that her mind was de VI
ranged , -
Mr. und Mrs. William Doolittlu. of 813
North Eighteenth street , lived in Nowr . 1
Haven , Conn. , some thirty-two years 2
ago , and know Mrs. Jack-
man then when she waa
n bright young girl of fourteen. Her
father , Governor English , was then the
chief executive of tlio stkto : alia was in
the Imy-day of his popularity and power. '
Her mother WHS a kleptomaniac , but -M.
Governor English being a very wealthy
man no trouble ever came from this
strange propensity. Thus Mrs. Jaekman
has inherited from her mother this in
firmity akin to a eur.so , that has been I ?
slowly xleveloping through the stages of ' 1
misfortune , starvation uud insanity.
After thu death of his first wife Gov
ernor English married again , nnd ho
dying in a few years , left all bf his prop
erty to his second wife. She still lives m
the old English mansion , ono of thu most
beautiful in Now Haven , but lias re
fused to help the unfortunate Mrs.
Jaekman smcn the loss of her husband ,
and it is thought that she had a great
deal to elo with prejudicing Governor
English against his daughter. Yester
day Mrs. Dr. Cuscadon telegraphed to
Mrs. English at New Haven , apprising
her of the unfortunate [ condition of her
stop-daughter.
CITY RAILWAYS.
Efforts of Chairman Ilnlcnmbc to
BInkn Them HcRpoct the Ijnw.
On tha 14th of this month , there waa
passed by the council and approved by
the mayor an ordinance prohibiting the
tearing up of streets by any railway ,
company without permit from the board
of publio works. At the time the ordi
nance bouamo a law , Mr. Balcomba
notified the several street railway com
panies of the fact , anel urged thorn to
comply with its requirement * . Air. Bal-
combe claims that thu Cable Tramway
company and the City Street railway
companies have paid no attention to the
matter , untl , for the purpose of lipding
out whether they Intend to respect or
defy the law , ho addressed them this let
ter yesterday :
You are constructing a street railway with
out permits as lequlred by ordinance No.
1541. This IB to link that you Inform this
ollice It It be your Intention to cmitlnmt to
thus Ignore the authority of the city. Hoping
for an Immediate reply , 1 am
Yours respnctfnllv ,
11. A. D. UAI.COMIIE ,
Chairman.
The clause of the ordinance in question
provides that no partnership nor associa
tion shall enter upon any street of the
city for the construction of any street car
line , without first having permission for
the same from the board of public works.
Mr. Balcombo has , also addressed a
communication to the motor line , as also
to the Cable Tramway company , iiotlty-
ing them that hereafter all earth taken
from the trenches of their lines belongs
to the city , and must bo filled into blrocta
romiirintr it.
lesterday morning the Cable Tram way
company received a massive bed for the
engine , which is soon to bo put in place
in the power house on the coiner of Har-
no.y and Twentieth streets. The casting
weighed about sixteen tons , and was
drawn to the house by two teams of four
horses each , with massive trucks with tires
six inches in width.
The Benson Motor line has decided to
substitute horse oar power instead of
steam , as now used , beginning on Mon
day. This action is caused by thu vigor
ous protest of the farmers in Jefferson
prceinet , of which notice has already ap
peared in the BEE.
