This is important and should be tried on auction watches that 'all the watch repairers in the world are not able to keep going.

It may be that a black murderer is not as valuable to society or as useful to politicians as a while criminal of the same class; but it is probably that his neck is quite as important to himself, i THE EXPOSITION ASD THB I The Committee of Pnblio Order of the City Council thought proper to Report unfavorably on the proposed ordinance for the relief of the Exposition. This, however, does not settle the. matter, and it will be brought before the Council on Tuesday night for final disposition.

The objections made to the ordinance by the committee appear to be wholly, technical. They do not involve any important principle or serious legal obstacle. Indeed there is no legal obstacle. Last year the Council voted 100, 000 for the maintenance of an Exposition that was endowed with large aid from the Federal Government. There was no legal obstacle to that act and it was consummated without hesitation.

To-day the Council is asked te extend the support of the city to an Exposition which is purely a home institution controlled by the people of this city wholly in the interests of the city. Let no mere technical objections mar this great enterprise. If there was any right or reason for the city to aQord financial support to an Exposition held under the auspices of the National Government, so much the greater reason and dnty to come to the aid of an institution which is in all respects worthy of support, and of which the people of New' Orleans are the owners and are to be the chief beneficiaries. Moreover, the honor and credit of eur people are involved in this matter. The Exposition bas been created and fully organized by our people, and exhibitors from all the States and most of the countriesof the werld have been invited to bring their products here for competitive exhibition.

They have done so in good faith, and they look to the people of this city to see that they have all the advantages which the Exposition fairly promised them. To close the Exposition prematurely would be not only to defraud thousands of exhibitors of the privileges they have rightfully acquired, but it would place the people of this community before the world in a position that would be pitiable in the extreme. This city canno afford to accept any such position, and we call on its repre sentatives in the Council to take the action they can rightfully take and save the city from such a misfortune. STATE RULED BY CORPORATIONS. The three States which are worst ruled by corporations and the creatures of corporations are New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; and of these the badness of the rule is in the order of the names, New York bad, Pennsylvania worse, New Jersey worst.

The last has at the present time an honest Democratio Governor, Judge Abbett, who desires that the wrong done to in dividuals by the preferences of the law for corporations shall receive legisla tive remedy. There is no hazard in predicting that his desires will not be gratified but the State affords a shining example of a lighthouse located on dangerous legislative shoals to warn off other ships of State. The law in New Jersey does not im pose upon railroad corporations the same burdens that are imposed on the property of individuals. The investment in railroad property is more than $227,000,000, almost all of which is withdrawn from the ordinary assess ment rojls of the municipalities and taxed under a special system at one- half of one per centum upon its true value, and the tax is paid directly into the State Treasury. The localities raise their alimony by a tax of one per centum; it follows that if the law were strictly carried out the railroads would pay about one-half as heavy tax as the other property.

They really pay about 57 per centum of the amount which they would pay if assessed like private property of individ-. uais bub they are fighting the pay ment stubbornly. The receipts of the State during the fiscal year ended Oct. SI, 1885. were $1,171,814 23 and of this sum $836,693 77 was derived from the railroads, and $158,276 23 from other corporations.

This shows that the State revenue is nearly all derived from cor porations. Most of the companies have paid under protest, reserving their rights. Bad as this discrimination is, it was worse until improved in 1884. The Gov ernor now desires zurtner legislative improvement. He wishes the Legis lature to subject the corporations to taxation which will impose the same burdens upon them as on individuals.

But, be it observed, while the Governor is urging their greater taxation, tbey are righting tne present low tax. Thirty-four companies are contesting the tax. The Governor shows that they have issued securities of the par value of $187,000,000, representing property which they say cost $92,000,000 and is only worth $28,728,188. Here is a puzzling study in railway finance for the inexperienced If we could only buy the railroads for what they say they are worth for purposes of public taxation, and sell them for what tbey by their action in papering them uphold them to be worth I As most of the companies have charters that are repealable and give the State the right to purchase the lines on payment of their cost, the Legislature would have no difficulty in equalizing taxation if it were so minded. The trouble lies in the fact that the corporations elect the legislators.

Not all of them, but enough. In any Legislature in the country there can always be found a number of members that are to be had to do the bidding of the corporations on any terms agreeable to the latter. It is never necessary to elect or to buyalL Only a majority is needful and if Jthe desire is to prevent the making of new law in other words, if what the corporations want is merely negative then a majority in one house is sufficient, and it is only necessary to secure so many by the usnal means as will complete that majority. Take the case of a maa in Jersey City who owns a house worth $10,000 and pays $292 tax he would pay $100 less if the railroad property were assessed at the same rate as his. Indeed, the aet that the tax on corporations would not only run the entire machinery of the State Government if it were assessed and collected like that on the property of individuals, but that it would amount to so muoh more than is needful that the rate of taxation could be eut down throughout the State, ought to convince the people of the State that their trae interests lie in requiring the corporations to be just.

The roads resort to every sort of expedient to avoid taxation. The amount of personal property to be nontaxable, returned by the Morris and Essex, has increased from 1868 to 1884 about $10,800,000. The Governor does' not seem to know what this property consists of it would seem to be a fair caso. fox legislative inquiry. Other companies as.

well as railroads dodge the payment of taxes. The law with reference to the taxation of oil or pipe line companies is evaded, or does not reach the largest company at which it is aimed. The experience of New Jersey should teach other States what to avoid. The grand lesson is the imperative necessity of avoiding the feeding of the railroad Caesars on such meat that they shall grow so great. The Legislatures should look to it.

UEIT ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT There is a proposition in the East to organize a new department of the government, with a Cabinet Minister at its bead, to have charge of the soientifie governmental works, and unite them under one civil management. There is much to be said both for and against the plan it doubtless originates in the desire to get certain bureaux out from the control of the War and Navy Departments, and open the way for a considerable employment of civilians. For instance, in the Hydrographic Survey there are sixty-four naval officers employed; it is desired to substitute trained surveyors, and it is charged that the naval officers have not the requisite special training. It seems to us that this particular difficulty could be remedied by lengthening the term at the Naval Academy, and organizing a school for the nurpose of supplying the deficient instruction. Onr naval officers are not too well instructed, and if the term were increased a couple of years it wonld do us no discredit and no injury in the long run.

The bureaux whioh it is sought to aggregate nnder the new Department of Pnblio Works are fourteen or more in number, ot which six are now under the Treasury Department. These are the Coast and Geodetic Survey, which is charged with the survey of the coasts of the United States and of the rivers emptying into the ocean and Gulf, and with the interior triangulation of the country; the Lighthouse Establish ment, the Life-saving Service, the office of he Supervising Architect, the Bureau of Statistics, and the office of Weights and Measures. Of the bureaux now under the Interior Department, it is proposed to take the Bureau of Education, the Surveying of the Public Lasds and the Geological Survey. Of the War Department bureaux it is proposed to absorb the Signal Service and the River and Harbor Improvements. The Navy Department is to surrender the Hydrographic Office and the1 Naval Observatory.

Then the Fish Commission, the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum are to be thrown into the new Scientific Department. We fear that the advocates of new department have undertaken too much to succeed. It mia-ht be advisable to organize a scientific department, but several of the bureaux selected are conducted so satisfactorily under the present arrangements that an effort to transfer them to the new department would fail. The river and harbor improvements, for example, are not in need of rearrangement. The army requires a trained body of engineers, whose services in war cannot be over estimated, and they can be utilized on the improvements in time of peace to manifest advantage.

If it is proposed to transfer the Engineer Corps, people will say that the army is the right place for it it has a military esprit which is too valuable to be sacrificed by merging it into a civil establishment. If it is proposed to give the improvements to a separate and new civilian engineer force, then we shall have little for the engineers to do in time of peace, and shall have practically a double engineer force without adequate reason. There are now four bureaux of statistics in separate departments. It has often been suggested that they should be united, yet it is not certain that they would do any better service if united. The statisticians for the Treasury, for the Department of Agriculture and for the State Department have different fields, and there is practically no reason for their consolidation except the fact that they all deal with statistics.

It seems about as unnecessary to unite them as to consolidate the correspondence clerks of the several departments on the ground that their duties have a common nature. Nor is it easy to see why several of the bureaux which it is proposed to put into the new department would be any mory fitly classed with each other than with their present associations. The Life-saving Service and the Signal Service, for example, it is proposed to put with the survey of the public lands; that does not seem to be a fitter union than the present associ tiooof the Life-saving Service with the Marine Hospital, or the Signal Servile with the Ordnance Bureau, or the Public Land Survey with the Indian Bureau. If it is designed to make an ideally perfect rearrangement of the bureaux, a better plan should be produced. But that some reorganization ought to be done is beyond doubt.

The Cabinet officers who are the President's advisers in affairs of state are now loaded down with clerical work and have to perform an amount of drudgery that is appalling. The present system was perhaps good enough when, established, but it does not suit for a government handling the affairs of 60,000,000 of people. NEW DIVISION OF The unconquerable repugnance of the people of Dakota to admission with their present area of 149,000 square miles, more than any other State except California and Texas, and the opposition to admission on the line of the 46th parallel, wnich would result in the addition of four Republicans to the United States Senate, has led to a new proposition to divide the Territory on the line of the Missouri River, and to admit the eastern half as a State. The new State wonld contain about half the Territory, and would include nearly all the settled and agricultural part, leaving nearly all the Indian reservations and mining and grazing portions in the new Territory of Lincoln on the west side of the Missouri River, whioh it is thought would eventually come into the Union as a Democratio State, although it will be. a long time before it has the requisite population.

population1 of the Territory is 415,664, nearly all of it on the east side of the river. There is another reason in favor of the proposed new division, which is the fact that the people on the north of the 46th parallel are as desirous of retaining the name Dakota as, those on the south side, while if the south portion should be admitted as has been proposed, the north portion would have to adopt another name. But the people on the west side of the Missouri River are not prejudiced on the subject, and would as soon have a new name as the old one. The people of that part of North Dakota which lies east of the 'river say that they raise the best hard wheat in the world, and desire to keep the name Dakota because their wheat is known by it. A large popnl ar convention leading men of the whole tory has been sitting at- of the nearly all this week, the questions of admission discussing under va rious divisions, water ways, chiefly local such as' Big Stone Lake, recent decisions in land cases and tax eases, opening of some Indian land, etc.

The very great severity of the weather at this season is favorable to conventions on local affairs, because nothing can be done. A northern winter is a long holiday for the most part, useful for education and for social enjoyments, notwithstanding the danger of freezing if exposed. The Fargo Convention would have favored division on the 46th parallel but for advices from Washington that snch a division would not be permitted and that no division would be allowed which did not offer some prospective partisan equivalent. This news prodnced considerable 'disintegration of pnblio sentim ent, and it is quite possible that the people will accept division on the Missouri River rather than remain out of the Union indefinitely. The nnbject Is now under discussion at Washi ngton as well as in the Territory, and it is probable that the Senate will pass a bill admitting the south part of the Territory as provided by the recent State Convention, but there is no chance of the bill passing the House, and the time spent on it will be lost.

Dr. D. C. Case. It has bsen many years since any calamity has so afflicted the people of Ocean Springs ma the death of Dr.

Dob Carlos Case. His skill as a physician, his public spirit as a citizen, his generoas sympathy as a friend and neighbor, secured for him an appreciation in which admiration and love were equally mingled. Men had learned to look to him not only for advioe and treatment in sickness, but also for practical guidance through the difficulties and trials of everyday life. His strong common sense, his san guine temperament, his indomitable energy and unflinching courage, commanded a confidence that extended beyond the sphere of his professional service. It was as a physician, however, that Dr.

Case stood nearest and dearest to the hearts of his friends. Grouped around his ooffln that bleak winter afternoon wuen he was laid away In the village graveyard, they thought how often he had gone through cold and darkness and rain to bring comfort and heallhg to the bedeldes of their siok and suffering families. How often when they were racked with anxiety and tortured with suspense he had spoken words of comfort and made them good I How often his gentle baad had patted the curly heads or the little children that loved him, and how often rested with soothing touch upon the aching brow of weary age! The lowliest of his neighbors said, He was good to the poor. He will be What a world of pathetic meaning la In those simple words, what nobler eulogy could have been pronounced upon the good doctor, who had Jut passed from his last eonflot with disease and death "He was good to the poor. He will be missed.

Tne monarch and the millionaire will be missed in their proud palaces, but it is better to be missed nnder the humble roof of the fisherman and the sailor. Dr. Don Carlos Case was born in Liverpool N. Dee. 37, 1819.

His father, Hon. Henry Case, was a man of ample fortune and at one time a member of the United States Oon greas. His son, the subject of this brief sketch, was educated in the schools of his native State. He received his professional education at the Medical College of St. LouisK under the Presidency of Dr.

McDowell, one of the most eminent physicians of that time. Those who were acquainted with our departed friend's- rare social qualities and his wonderful aptitude for the practice of medK cine will not be surprised to learn that a life, long and peculiarly elose friendship exist between Dr. Case and his distinguished preceptor. Dr. Case married, at New Madrid, Miss Martha Thomas, a lady remarkable for her Christian and domes Uo virtues, a man ot intense feeling and earnest convletione.

Dr. Case sympathized warmly with the Southern people in the late war of secession, and, living as he did in a State where the animosities engendered by that struggle were extremely bitter, his opinions subjected him to no little annoyance and suffering. In AprU, 1865, he removed to Kew Orleans, and was for some years engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1878 he settled In Oeean Springs, where he practiced his profession with untiring Industry and great success. He died at about o'elook in the nornlng, Jan.

7, 1888. He leaves a wife, a brother, a son, and two juried daughters. To the bereaved family we tender a sincere expression of sympathy and condolence in their great affliotlon. He that has gone will remain with ns forever In memory. Affection has built his monument, and gratitude has written his epitaph.

A Portrait of Galvez. A correspondent writing from the dty of Mexico nnder date of Jan. says of a portrait of Galvez, one of the. Spanish Governors of Louisiana On Monday of this week I visited the Government Museum and there I found a full set of portraits of all the Vioeroya of New 8 pain from the beginning. Aeoording to the Inscription en the frame, Galves was 88 years old when his portrait wm painted.

The portrait bancs directly under that of his laihei, Don Mai las Galves. It shows a man apparently about the age speoified, having a smoothly shaven faee, natural hair brushed smoothly down and powdered, bat not florid complexion, dark eyes, doable chin, a linen collar like those In nse at the present day, turned down over a white era vat with lace ends falling over a scarlet vest. The vest is buttoned up to the cravat, and like the blue coat has a light stripe of gold eoi broidery. On the breast of the coat Is tue badge of an order, probably that of the Oalatrsvva, a star surrnonated bv crown. There are loo lace ruffles at the wrists.

In the right hand is a heavy gold-headed cane. The portrait is half length, life bIza andls painted with the left shoulder slightly forward with the fane turned full in trout. In the back ground is a dark-green curtain drawn to one aide, showing in the distance the sea and a hip. If no authentic portrait of Galves exists In few Orleans, I should tbtnk it would be a patriotic not for some worthv citizen to have a copy made of this to be put up in the library of Tulane University or some other proper place. The picture Is perfedtly preserved, and Gen.

Diaz would only be too happy to afford every facility toward allowing it to be eopted. Folio win is a copy, verbatim, of the inscription on the portrait of Galves la the Hums Naeional No. 4 El xm, Sr. Dn. Bernardo de Galves Conde de Galves Caballero Penoionario de la RL Dlstlnga.
