THE BRUNDAQE BILL,

There is a determined and well organ­ized effort in all parts of the state to defeat the so-called Brundage bill which is now before the legislature.

This act provides that every person shall make out a statement of his person­al property for the assessors and make affidavit to the correctness of the same. Blanks for this purpose are to be provid­ed by the county. Thd taxpayer must Bet down the value of everything not subject to execution ^including household furniture above $200, the estimated ralue of money or accounts due him, over and above he what owes, and if he is the possessor of mortgages, he must state the county or Btate in which they are recorded*

Indebtedness on .real estate is to be deducted in the same manner as in the case of personal property.

In short, the bill aims to make every person his own assessor, and make every dollar of property, real or personal, pay its just and equitable proportion of the tax burden; and a failure to make Out such a liBt as is called for is punishable by a fine of five hundred dollars.

What are the objections to such a law as this ? The Dry Goods Chronicle says it exposes the secrets of the business men. How ? By exposing what he is actually worth according to his own affidavit. That paper's argument would make every business man appear a knave, who is flying false colors for the purpose of gaining a credit that does not belong to him. It says it would drive money west for investment. Then it would have to drive people west also, for the western mortgages will be subject to taxation where the holder resides, and not escape taxation as at present. If men were taxed on the mouey they send west to escape taxation it is very likely they would loan it at home.

The Brundage bill is not a new and untried bxperiment. It is the Ohio law and it works well. "We hear no com­plaint from there of its ruining business men, driving money and manufacturing out of the state, or any of the evils which the Chronicle predicts. Instead of voting against this bill, we want to see every member from this section vote in favor of it. The real estate holders will hold them to account if they do not.

A GRIEVANCE AND A REMEDY.

In years, past abortive attempts have been made to prevent an unjust discrim­ination against dairymen in the matter of the1 weight of cheese sold and shipped to New York. Thousands of dollars

'annually are poured into the coffers of the commission houses, because of alleged short weights or "off flavor" cheese. Local boards of trade have adopted various resolutions to remedy the evil, but the cheese buyers have either treated such with derisive laughter or silent contempt. No matter how careful the cheese are weighed at the factory, these short weights come back, and if the market is declining, it has been a noticeable fact that short weights are more mumerous than ever. « j

The trouble appears to be in New York, ' where but five of a shipment of cheese ' are weighed, and if these are a trifle j short, the whole batch is docked. I t is ' claimed that if the lot was weighed, instead of running short, the shipment, would overun. But the New York houses have rules which are ironclad , when short weights are considered, but appear quite laxative should the weight', be more than that marked on the boxes.

While the boards of trade have been powerless to make a change, we believe Dairy Commissioner Brown has it in his power to do so. Let him appoint a man to act in the interest of dairymen and see that their cheese is fairly weighed in New York and that they be allowed every ponnd they ship. In behalf of the dairymen of northern New York, the HERALD asks Mr. Brown to look into this matter. The farmers ask no more than tneir just due, and that they should have.

MACHINE POLITICS.

It is qnly when one of the great parties has a large majority that any man or set of men| dare to perpetuate such an out­rage as that which the republican politicians of St. Lawrence county have mapped out for this congressional district. They have laid their plans for sending a man to congress without ask­ing the consent of the people whom he is supposed to represent. The members of the republican congressional com­mittee met in this city, last Wednesday, and decided that a candidate for member should be nominated at the same con­vention which named the delegates to Chicago. This is contrary to all pre­cedent in this district. I t was of little use for the JefferBon members to argue that the people ought to be given a chance to be heard, for the St. Lawrence members doggedly insisted on the course they had marked out. They cared not what the people might say. They let it be understood that they did not want the people consulted; did not want them to have a chance of expressing a choice for any other candidate than Mr. Parker.

We have all read of the machine politics in New York city; of men being nominated for high ofikes without the knowledge or consent of the people ; of trades and dickers between politicians;

Chi

but we have read of nothing of a more high-handed and outrageous character than the political drama which is now peing enacted in our own congressional district. Mr. Parker's friends think the Jrepublican majority is so large that they ban safely count on his election, should he secure the nomination; and this they mean to give him withoiit consulting even the members of his own party. ' There will be a grand chance to test the manhood of the republican voters of jthis congressional district at the coming (election.

j IT is a Frenchman after all who has jwon the hand and heart of Miss Flora Sackville West, the handsome daughter >f Minister West. The young congress-

en and diplomats who hovered abtut he fair young lady can now turn their

'attention to her two unmarried sisters, jwho are, according to the illustrations in jboday's Herald, equal in form and figure jto the girl whom the Frenchman has Won. ^

THE graphic description of the New York Tombs which the HERALD prints today gives some interesting imfor-mation about a prison which has become known throughout the civilized world. I t is strange that in a prison so guarded any person could escape.

T H E interest the HERALD has

awakened among the wageworkers is not confined to this city alone, and it is, possible that Carthage may have a loan and building association. There is much! inquiry about the securing of loans from i all parts of the county. I

J. H. Bates, who has paid the news­papers of the country fifteen million dollars for advertising in twenty-five years, has moved his office to 41 Park ftow, New York. He is one of the greatest advertising agents in the-world. " I recall a time," says he, "when a man in this city desiring to advertise for in­stance in the city of Buffalo, could not-even learn the names of the newspapers published there, nor anything else about them or of those existing elsewhere, except by a process of inquiry so round about and tedious as to preclude any­thing like a general expenditure of money for newspaper advertising, i Contrast this with a system of facilities J so perfected, that, as in the case of an j order given my firm a few years ago, $60,000 were distributed among the newspapers at large for one insertion of a single advertisment of the New York ; Ledger."

The April number of the Woman's maganize, published by Frank Housh & Co., Bimttleboro, Vt., is the best of any the dollar monthlies which have reached this office. In art, literature and read­ing for the home circle, it is the peer of many a costlier magazine.

The new book for male voices called Emerson's Male-Voice Gems," will

please the average male quartet, glee and chorous club, and supply a want that has been manifest for some time. The music is of a good grade^ without being too difficult. Mr. Emerson has selected and arranged puch pieces as his experience has suggested as being exactly suited to the wants and abilities of male-quartets and clubs who are ' desirous of improving the taste while enjoying good music. The book is quite large, octavo size, contains 176 pages, and is filled with good things, selected and original. Send for a descriptive, circular giving full particulars con- I cerning this and other books. Send also for the large descriptive catalogue issu­ed by the publishers of this book. The catalogues co6t you nothing. The price I of the book "Emerson's Male-Voice | Gems"' is $1.00. It will be sent by mail, I post paid, to any address, for the price,; by O. Ditson & Co., Boston, Mass. ;

The newspaper fraternity at Preecott j is somewhat mixed up. We received; last week two papers published at dif- \ ferent offices under the name of the Telegraph. One paper has possession of the plant of the old Telegraph, while the other has the subscription list. What the outcome will be remains to be seen.— Ogdensburg News.

But te r and Cheese.

UTICA, April 27.—The market Monday was not very satisfactory to salesmen. None of the buyers were prepared to take cheese at a price, although all were willing to take it on commission. The offerings were divided between colored and white cheese, but the former was rather the most abundant. Inquiries among factorymen showed that there w s considerable difference in the time of opening factories, and in the com­parative make of the year. Some estab­lishments are not open, although they expect to be this week, while others have been running since the middle of March, and have already made one or two shipments. In some sections the make has run one third ahead of last year's while in other sections there is a considerable shrinkage from last year. But we heard a buyer assert tha t he never saw as fine fodder cheese as there is this spring. The reason is because hay is scarce and potatoes are high, and it is cheaper to feed grain than either. As a consequence the stock bares re­markably fine, and these conditions are likely to continue. We quote 1,7.28 boxes in 29 lots consigned, against 1,300 sola at 11 i to 12 Ac., and 200 boxes con­signed one year ago. Next week there will probably be a fair offering for the season.

LITTLE FALLS, April 27.—There were thirty cheese factories represented here" Monday by their salesmen, offering . on

average about fifty boxes each. They were generally averse to sending their goods c?n consignment, and tried hard to fix prices. Except in eight cases, they were unable to do this, and the cheese was consigned. Buyers seemed afraid to even guarantee prices, claiming that there is no basis fixed at which i t is safe to operate. The prices paid ranged from 9 to l l^c. Only one lot. the Keller factory with small cheese, secured lli^c. From the balance of the sales, the nearest we can approximate values of the different grades may be stated as follows: Full cream, wMte, l i e ; colored, 10^c; every day cheese 10c. No price was named on every other day stock, all going on commission. Had there been a good number of sales, the above figures would probably show the top figures in the different grades. The amount of cheese sold and com missioned is 1,580. Some of this cheese was hauled to market part of the way on sleighs and the balance of the distance on wagons. In addition to above there were 100 boxes farm dairy cheese sent on commission.

BUTTER.—The quantity of butter sold has dropped off considerably. Prices are substantially the same as last week. There were 95 packages of farm dairy butter sold at 21 to 22c, the bulk going 22c. and 23c, about an equal amount at each price. Thirty packages of creamery butter sold at 23^c. to 24c

R u n Over by a Trac t ion Engine.

PHILADELPHIA, April 27. —Wednesday morning as M. House was walking be­side J. Wagoners traction engine, which was proceeding down Main street, he fell, throwing his right leg and arm un> der the wheel. Mr. Wagoner, who was steering, could not stop before the wheel run over Mr. House's leg. The machine weighs about y,000 pounds, with broad wheels and spurs for road use, and up­right boiler. Mr. House's right hip and arm are considerably crushed, besides sustaining severe bruises on hie head and body. The unfortunate man was quick­ly carried to Mr. Wagoner's, where he is under the care of Dr. Rodenhurst. It is thought he will recover.

THE GrRUMBtEB.

Having deferred granting the people an opportunity to say whether or not they wanted the street lamps lighted all night, because of an Expense which it was feared would interfere with salary-ing the mayor and alderman, won't the mayor now please call attention to the subject, inasmuch as the pet salary Bcheme has bsen buried beyond resurrec­tion? Perhaps the people won't want to pay for lights every night in the year, but if they do not they can vote it down as they did the salary proposition. If they want the lights and are willing to pay for them, why should they not have them? "•

. * # Th« little controversy between the

mayor and Alderman Spratt has reveal­ed to the public a businesai transaction which is not at all creditable to the mayor or common council. ; A contract was let for heating an engine house, and the men who did the worJixadmit that there ' are defects; bad defects and that the building has not been properly warmed. Now would the mayor or any of the aldermen be willing to pay for such a job if it was done for themselves ? Alderman Spratt is one of the most honorable business menon this city, and is engaged in the heating and plumbing business. He knowBthat his patrons will not pay for work improperly done, and he does not believe the city ought to. His vote was recorded against payment. He and the mayor differ on the question, but Mr. Spratt has decidely the best of the argu­ment. The people will stand by him in trying to* have the c i tys business done on strictly business principles.

Col A. D. Shaw and Assemblyman Com stock appear to have a different opinion as to *vhat was said about the fish bill drawn up by the colonel and introduced in the assembly by Mr. Comstock. The latter was led to believe that the sportsmen endorsed it. He knows differently now. The sportsmen are afraid to trust to the honor of fisher­men in the matter of throwing fish back. The word of the"fishermen can be relied upon. They are slow to make pledges, but when they make them they can be counted upon to fulfill them. For proof of this, ask, some of the men who court­ed their displeasure.

Some sentim ental acrobats are trying to score a point against Dr. Thompson because he proposed an effective measure to rid the country of the English sparrow nuisance. They call him heartless, to thus encourage the destruction of the only bird which remains with us during the winter. It is not the winter sojourn that people in general object to; it is the piratical work of the little* jade during the summer. The doctor is all right. And he has fought the sentimentalists at Albany and has pushed his bill through the assembly. The doctor generally succeeds when he undertakes a thing. Perhaps there is a fear that he may want to go to Albany again, and hence the sparrow issue. But the doctor can meet that issue without flinching. If that is all the fault that can be found with his two years' record, he is in fine time for another race.
