Here we see the strongholds Of the Democracy
with only 46 per cent of the basis for taxation,

people pay from ten 10 thirteen mills on the dollar
while other portions of the State ask less than four
mills; or in other words, where the Sham De-
mocracy have undisputed swing, taxation is more
than two hundred per cent higher than in the aver

Tie ADdny argus, with an righteousness char
acteristic of itself, recently published table of
figures showing the property valuation in each
county, the amount Of State tax, and the town and
county taxes of 1856. The professed object Of this
publication was to show that the Republican party
is responsible for all the increase, where there is
any, and that this heavy taxation is the result Of
" bad measures, and profigate policy Of eIpendi'
"t ure and corruption. That it will con-
" tinue to increase yearly is certain, unless
&" the people of the State take the matter in hand,
"and put the right men in the right place"
It happened at the last election that the party up
hell by The Argus was pretty effectually beaten
throughout the State; they only held their ground
in three or four strong points old citades Of Sham
Democracy, where common schools must work yet
many years before We can hope to chronicle Repub-
lcan victories The chief Of these citades are the
Counties of New.York, Kings and Albany -coun-
ties in which The Argus must certainly admit that
if the right man is not in the right place it is the
fault Gifts own party. Let US separate these black
sheep from the flock and see how they compare on
the score Of taxation:

HENDEasoS.-Nearly all the streets in
this pleasant sister city, are being newly
graded and side walks laid, which will
add III ich TO the attractiSeness of the
town, and bring It's beautiful daughter
in charming clusters more frequently
upon the public promen1des. The new
Bank which l. just completed, is said to
he one of the most elegant structures, in
Southwestern Kentucky. One Thousand
bushels of coal are daily raised from the
mines, near the city, and this quantity
will be increased as the demand for
winter consumption advances. The salt
we'll has been sunk n-arly l60O feet, and
the water has improved in strength with
the increase OF depth. There is now no
doubt that salt can be prof;ably manu-
iactured from it. We are IniorlDed that
in the last two hundred feet OF the boring
the augur went through strata of coal
1900 and 400 feet below the surface
IL it he workable vein, it will likely
prove to be o: superior quality. Our
coal beds have lower depth than we
supposed, and will be inexhaustible il

SUPREME JUDGES There is desire
expressed by the most conservative
papers of both parties, that in the can
vas for the electisn Of the two
Supreme Judges. a party contest
may be avoided that candidates shall
be selected for their ability and integrity
The influence Of the Court and the char
acter of the State, have been impaired 10y
selection OF candidates for their political
availability. 1t is to be hoped that these
just sentiments may prevail. The Lo-
eansport Journal mentions Daniel ID
Pratt, of that place. as man eminently
qualified for a seat on the Supreme
Bench. His nomination is approved by
the State Journal and other papers. Hr
political syrnpathies are not indicated by
those who have brought his name for
ward, and we don't know what they
are.

0T-As was supposed the cause Of the
failure of the Ohio Life and Trust Co,
was the departure of the Bank from its
legitimate Business. For several months
it has been lending money to railroad
companies or the hypothecation of their
bonds. To one railroad company in
Ohio, it had advanced five hundred thous-
and dollars and its loans made in this way
amount to one million five hundred
thousand dollars. The New York Her.
aid says that many of the prominent
New York Banks are embarrassed and
cannot hold out much longer.]

FLoUR.-The St. Louis papers think
it TRANCE that wheat should be brought
from the Ohio, within 100 miles Of Louis
vile, passage Of 500 miles, to that
market to be manufactured, instead OF
being ground at Louisville. Tine ex-
pianat!on is a simple one. The ST. Louis
millers are the best manufacturers-they
make more -four out of the same wheat,
and q ST. Louis brand will bring 20 cents
more a barrel than any other brand d
the same quality. So much for good
name.

1F In the authorised statement Of
the Life and Trust Company'S Affairs. We
observe that the principal Cincinnati
Office, is in debt to the New York agency
in large balance Of $e53,OOo. We
cannot see how the principal bank could
have been embarrassed by the New York
agency, which was large creditor to
the mother institution. We should sup
pose from this showing, the Cincinnati
concern caused the failure OF the agency.
The whole means of the principal insti-
ton appear to be III Real Estate Bonds
and MORTGAGES, and unavailable corpo
ration and railroad securities. 1t had
no actual banking capital except lis dc
posts.

Tae Oid slave Trade.

1t surprises Us, on recurring to the |
past to learn how recently the odious |
traffic, which now excites so much hor
ror at its contemplation, has been sup
pressed. It's scarcely fifty years since
it was prosecuted with the utmost activ-
ity and vigor. From 1904 to 1907 there
were imported into the little town OF
BRISTOL. Rhode lsland-a seaport tina,
did not contain a population of 1000
more than 1000 slaves annually. The
whole number imported within the Pc
riod was 1914, all from the coast of Al
rica. During the same time there were
brought into Newport, 4 town within II
miles OF Bristol, in the same State, and
now the famous and attractive watering
place, 34S8 slaves. Providence in the
same State, received $50. Hartford.
Conn, $50. and Boston, 200, in the same
years. The slaves brought into Rhode
Island, were but small portion of the
number her citizens were taking from
the coast OF Africa directly to the West
Indies and iato the ports Of the Southern
States. Fifty-nine slave ships, belonged
at that time to the little State of Rhode
Island. Some of the largest fortunes
which have descended 10 her citizens were
create1 10y this traffic; and bat few
years ago there were men living in that
State, among the hOnored and wealthiest
of the inhabitants, who had been active
participants in the trade, or owned the
ships that carried the human cargoes
Que of her Senator'S IN CongaesS, as late
as 1926 or 1928, commenced his life as a
SLAYER between the coast Of Africa and
the West India Islands; and he had ships

ed 10y law--if nos afterwards also. lie
died out a few years ago. bequeathing a
fortune of millions to his children. who
are at this day classed in the highest
ranks of society. These facts exhibit the

A NEW SPECIES OF CORN has been
planted in Floyd county in this State.
this year, which is called King Phillips
Corn, from rhe fact that it is a descrip-
ton found among the Nsrragansett In
dians by the puritanS. The y. Albany
Ledger says it was planted on the 24th
of May and was pulled on the oath OF
August, thoroughly matured and ready
for the crib. 1t thus came to maturity
IN three months, and backw season
at that. 1t is yellow corn--the ear
long and slim, and the grains very large.
IL weighs 80 lbs. to the bushel, and
though it may be safe from frosts in short
seasons. its product per acre, is less, we
think, than our ordinary corn.

From statistics, it is estimated that
two hundred million dollars of silver
has been sent to India--and with
drawn from the commerce of other por-

The Fort Smelling Swindle.


The Utica Herald has been looking up
the Congressional record Of the clause in
the last Military Appropriation bill un-
der which the Country has been done out
ofnearly million dollars in the sale OF
the Fort Smelling Reservation. The re-
suit is most instructive The clause was
first reported to the Senate on the I'd OF
March last--the day before Congress ad-
journed-by Mr.. Weller. of California,
from the Military Committee. 1t was
rushed through each House without dis
cussion, consideration, or clear under
standing of its character. Here is speci-
men of the process:
1.-The amendment was passed in the SEN
ATE. upon false statement of its provisions.
1t simply extends the act of March 3D.. tor the
sale of military sites, in the discretion of the
Secretary CT War. Yet when the clause was
presented
Mr.. Bright said-I shoald inquire ifthere
is any provision for public sale.
MIR Weller said-Those sold under the
act Of 1919 were sold at auction, but it has
been decided that the act was retrospective
aud did not apply to any military sites es-
tahlished after the passage OF the law. Since
| that time. OF course. many military posts
have become wholly useless to the Govern
ment. and this amendment is to sell them.
Mr.. Bright-At public or private sale.
| 'Mr. Wellcr-At PUBLIC SALE.
"Upon this statement. the Senate agreed tC
the amendment. The law of 1879 contain:
no provision for public sale; yet tie prece.
dent has been fer such sale almost if no
| quite uniformly. Mr.. Weller's statement
was that the amendment provided TO sell a
public sale; and this was false. Upon hi,
statement. cleverly drawn out by Senator
1 Bright, the clause was inserted. Having
been so passed. there was more than usua
force to be given to the precedent of selln.
such sites by auction but this first sale, il
view when the clause Was enacted. violate
what Mr.. Weller declared the law would be
and what the precedent really has been. Fo
what did Mr.. Weller mis-state the purpor
of the amendment!
Whether the people will require rip
ping up of this scandalous transaction W
do not Judge; but we ask the Union t
S ate whsther any more Military Re
serves have been or are to be jobbed ol
in this clandestine manner.
, We are glad to see that Mr.. Brigh
has cleared his skirts Of the charge {

HORSE THIEyEs.--The Wabash valley

Courier says great excitement was caused

day. by the arrest and trial Of two horse
thieves, by the names Of George Nelson
and james Marin; the latter had beer
ferrynan at Williamsport on the Wabash.
Nelson was arrested for stealing a horse
which he had gotten from Martin, and
which Martin had stolen. Both we're
bound over to Court. Nelson di,ulged
the names OF about fifty horse thieves
in Fountain, Warren, Montgomery and
Tlppecanoe counties. A number of those
implicated IN his confession reside in
