High Priced Newspapers.
An exchange praises the newspapers
which refuse to lower the price of their
sheets. It says that quality and price
go together in journalism, and that by
charging a high price per copy they are
able to maintain themselves on a higher
plane than they could were they sold
cheaper. This sounds well enough, but
unfortunately is not true, says Press
and Printer. If any body cares enough
about it to compare a great many
papers before and after a reduction in
price, it will readily be seen that the
later issues show a marked improve.

The Borough Meeting.
The more the action of the Borough
meeting is considered the more serious
is the actual situation. The vpte of re-
scission was clearly outside of the call
and therefore illegal. It would have
been competent for the meeting to have
reduced the rate or to have adjourned
as it did, but toresoind the tax under a
call for a. reduction was a serious act.
The infuriated tax payers, howevever,
were so intent on deferring the day of
taxation that they hung the fifteen mill
rate without judge, jury or law.
The Borough has incurred obliga-
tions, and has current expenses ; these
obligations and expenses will have to
be met; and no censures of, or sneers
at the Court of Burgesses, or anathe-
mas‘ hurled at the Borough Assessors
will raise money to pay debts. The
rescinding vote was clearly illegal
and amounts to nothing. It is fortun-
atc, however, that the meeting is still
alive and it may be possible that by the'
12th of April the citizens of the Bor-
ough will see more clearly the effect of
their hasty action and take such steps
as will put our tax levy upona legal
foundation. Borough meetings to buy
hose, lay water pipes, etc., may be
run upon a “go as yOu please”
plan, but tampering with a tax levy is
a serious afl'air, opening the doors for
all sorts of delays, contests and litiga~
tion. Already the attorney for a large
tax payer says that the action of last
Wednesday will allow him to success-
fully contest an assessment claimed to
be exbessive, which but for the action
of the meeting would have been unas-
sailable. How many more similar cases
there may be no one knows, but if
there is any chance whatever some
sharp-nosed disciple of the late Mr.
Blackstone will find i! and make the
most of it. This state of affairs, how-
ever, may be a sort of blessing and
teach our citizens that whatever else
they do in Borough meeting they
should not monkey with the tax levy.
Carnegie Company's New/Deal.
The managers of the Carnegie Com-
pany have decided to replace their
Hungarian workmen with American
negroes. They are wise. These mon-
grel foreigners are, says the Washing-
ton Post, the most available materialin
the labor agitations and riotOus‘ vio-
lence which so constantly threaten our
civilization. They may not be the
leaders and designers of the outbreaks,
but they are the pliant tools of those
who do devise them, and their ignore
ance, credulity, and savagery render
them as dangerous as they are pliant.
The history of the Homestead tragedy
shows that the slaves were foremost in
the devilish barbarities of that revolt-
ing episode. And not only at Home-
stead, but in nearly every other similar
affair, we find that the foreign laborer.
is the most active and pernicious factor
in the social problem which is giving
us all so much concern. They migrate
to this country to escape oppression
and the degrading conditions which
environ them at home, and almostithe.

There is to much gush about the
rights of “the American workman.”
Nine times out of ten the manwho re-
sorts to violence and practices brutal-
ity is not an American air all, but a half-
civilized foreigner, who can scarcely
speak or even understand our institu-
tions. It is not incumbent on corpora-
tions in this country, to furnish the in-
cendiary off-scourings of Europe with
the means of plotting against law and
order. That suicidal policy has gone
far enough.
In the Southern negroes the Carne-
gie Company will find a laboring class
infinitely more "desirable than that of
which they are now divesting them-
selves. The negro is not an agitator
and an anarchist. Here and there we
find one inflated by a morsel of educa-
tion—just enough to bewilder him—
and disposed to be both ridiculous and
offensive ; but as a rule they are indus-
trious, simple in their tastes and wants,
instinctively conservative, and pro-
foundly attached to our social and po-
litical order. It is no part of their
scheme of life, to destroy the forms of
government under which they liv'e and
to conspire against the rights of prop-
erty. There are criminals among
all other peoples, but crime, violence,
and lawlessness are not characteristic

ULLIE AKERSTEOM.
How many there are in this busy
world of ours, who are always striving,
always seeking the path that leads to
success, and how few there are (com-
paritively speaking) who find it. We
often hear this question asked in re-

comes this little woman’s success. It
can be answered in a few words. Not
from sensational advertising, not from
scandalous intrigue, nor from the mil-
lion other schemes by which women of
mediocre ability sometimes attract tho
attention of the passing throng. Not
by any of these means, but by self-

Borough Election.
Less than four _hundred votes were
polled at the special borough election
held in the Town House (so called)
yesterday, for the purpose of electing
two members of the Court of Burgesses
to fill vacancies caused b the resigna-
tions of William A. Voge and John H.
Buckley. . .
The republicans failed to make any
nominations. The regular democratic
caucus nominated _William' McMullen,
and there_was a Citizens ticket in the
field bearing the names of Isaac Bows
and James Sutherland. _
Until noon the election was very
quietly conducted. During the after-
noon there were several little scraps,
but no one was seriously injured'nor
were there any arrests made. Quite a
number of “workers” for the respec-
tive candidates were considerably‘un-
der the influence, when the poles
closed, and in some instances were
very noisy.
The vote resulted as follows :

Musical Notes.
At first thought no one would sup-
pose that music and crinoline had any-
thing to do with each other,yet the two
were at one time associated together in
a very unusual way.
When Handel’s "Messiah” was first
given in Dublin, and one hundred and
,fifty years ago this fashion was at its
height, and so great was the desire of
hearing the new oratorio that, as
Haweis relates it,_’ “The ladies of the
period, and to their honor be it record-
ed, consented to leave their hoops at
home, in order that an additional one
hundred listeners might be got into
the room. ” »
The third annual report of the Con
necticut Music Teachers’ Association
held in Bridgeportlast summer proves
the existence of a large and vigorous
organization, devoted wholly to the in-
terests of music.
In active membership Bridgeport
takes the lead numbering more than
one hundred. Hartford comes next
with forty-one, while a number of the
[smaller places are proportionally well
represented. _ _

KAIULANI’S FAREWELL.
The Hawaiian Princess is on Her Way
Back to England.
NEW YORK, ' March 21.—-Theophilus
Davies, the British guardian of Princess
Kaiulani, issued a farewell address last
night concerning the Hawaiian question
and his charge. .He thinks it must have
become clear, that, whatever may have
been their provocation the attitude as-
sumed by the Hawaiian Commissioners
had no justification.- .
“Revolution,” he said, “is the extreme
right of every self contained nation and
sometimes the Only cure for mingvern-
ment, and"I am not here to protest against
the right of revolution nor the right of '
the Hawaiians by revolution to set aside
the monarchy altogether. But I protest
against the right of any committee of
gentlemen Without the pretense Of con;
sultation with the Hawaiian nation to
attempt to transfer to any foreign Gov-
ernment the nation and the flag that they
Were sworn to uphold.”
The Princess Kaiulani said she wished to
thank all those whose kindness has made
her visit to Americasuch a happy one.

to $2,5000 and the fight limited to 12
rounds.
The fight was an exceedingly clever
one, an exhibition of giVe turd take, and
at its close both men were unmarked and
upfarentlyfas fresh as whenthey started.

regard to his proposition to fight Charley

proposition Mitchell says came too late,
Corbett said: “On account of Mitchell’s
repeated insults I will now insist on the
$10,000 side bet being fought for. If any-
thing should turn up that Mitchell won’t
fight me, Peter Jackson is the only man
that will claim my attention.”
