Who Pay the Taxes

The Richmond Enquirer contains an
editorial which is worth remembering
by people who labor for their living.
We copy the following:
Aristotle, the wisest of ancient phil
osophers, held that all interest in money
should be prohibited, because money
doe, not breed-that 10, it is not pro-
ductive. Moses, wiser than any philos-
opher, because inspired and counselled
by God, saw that all capital stood on the
same footing with money-shat 10 to say,
was all non productive and did not
breed and consequently prohibited in
the dealings of the Jews with one ano-
Their, the losning of money or anything
else, on usury or for increase. [See 23d
Deuteronomy, 25th Leviticus and ed
Exodus.l Moses saw that labor was
alone productive, Thousands Of years be-
fore the modern philosophers discovered
and avored the great truth. It WAS, in
fact, embodied and ordained in that
command or institution, that man
should earn his bread in the sweat of
his face :" and always felt to be true.
Yet it is the truth of perpetual and prac-
teal Importance in affairs Of govern
ment, as we'll as in private dealings Of
mankind with one another. 1t would
be to the laboring classes a fatal delu-
sion if they were led to believe that BY
cunning legislative ~legerdemsin,
they may be relieved Of the burden of
and may devolve it upon the
of the capitalist or the pro-
perty-holder. Labor produces all val
ues it may be directly from the rich,
but indirectly and ultimately from the
laboring men. Gerrit Smith once well
and truly said in Congress: "The poor
pay all the taxes ; the rich are but the
condui,s that pass them over to the
Government" the laboring clas-
ses thoroughly understand this great
truth, they will oppose all unneess'dry
tazattOH, all extravagant appropriations,
hold public officials to q strict account
ability, and require and enforce the
most rigid economy in all the admins
departments Of the Government.

LETTER FROM New YoRK.-We make
the following extracts from n letter,
dated New York, March LIST, which we
received from Otto Burbank by the last
steamer:
"0n my arrival, I was engaged at the
Fifth Avenue Opera House for the sea-
son, and so far have walked into the
affections of the New Workers in fine
style. Sheppard is engaged ut Tony
Pastors (Bowery) for the season, and, I
I'M pleased to say, has made II decided
shit" Johnny Collins is engaged to
travel with Van Amburgh's Menagaric;
he joins the company in Indiana on the
18th of April. Theatrical and minstrel
business this winter has been far above
the average, and the Spring promises
even better. The picked of the circus
profession left yesterday for England in
the Guiding Star, for the Worlds Fair.
The San Francisco Minstrels, as usual,
are crowded nightly. They are getting
up a lithograph, the finest | ever saw.
They talk Of going to England for the
Summer months, and returning in the
Fall. The Worrell Sisters have taken
the lease of the New York Theatre. The
troupe Of ministries that went to Eng
land-Hussey, Sterling & Co.-made a
general "smash up in London. 1t has
been a very severe Winter in New York,
having had successive storms of snow
and rain; but to-day I think n kind
Providence is going to be generous, as
it's a lovely day and feels much like
Spring. Truly, yours,
0TTo BURBANK.

SUFFRAGE.


The San Francisco Call accuses Highly
of favoring the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
Chinese, through Congressional enact
meut-repeal Of Law Of 1902. If the
suggested Constitutional amendment,
comforting manhood suffrage irrespec-
tive of race, is offered and adopted, GER
tainly the Chinese will vote. And, as
we understand the Military Reconstruc-
ton Bill, if the complementary terms
are complied with BY Louisiana, twenty
thousand Chinese on the plantations OF
that State will be en~tranchised. It's
no new alarm-ifi it be an ''alarm'-to
sound: Chinese voters. We said last
year that universal suffrage was ms
countably considered BY some as hold a
Limitation against Chinese. Not so.
Strange as it may sound for an empha-
sis "Uniyersal" takes EN- all in, &C
cording to the dictionary, and the ex-
press accompanying definitions Of the
Universal" Sufrsge-ites save and
except women. And we still contend,
fervently though humbly, that Caucss-
ian women should be allowed to vote
before negroes or Mongolians or Indians.

ANALGANArIoN IN LOUISVILLE. We

INAUGURATION IN LOUISVILLE. - We
find the following curious case in the
Cincinnati Commercial of March 18th:
A curious story comes up the river to
US from Louisville, which goes to show
that after all there is some amalgama-
ton among our friends across the water.
It appears that some days ago q we'll
dressed lady With a little child came to
the city and stopped at one of the first
class hotels. At the dinner table she
sat down by the side Of another lady,
who recognized her as q "person of COL
or" Lady No. Q was highly indignant,
and reported lady No. l to the proprie-
tors Of the hotel, who informed the lady
that she must leave. 1t was in vain
that she offered to pay her bills and
comply strictly with tho rules of the
house; it would not do to have q "nig-
ger lady" boarder, and she was turned
of. Now comes the sequel. Both ladies
were known to another person in the
house, who said No. l was a half-sister to
No. 2, and thought Mrs. - ought not
to be so hard upon her sister. The Ia
dies are married, we understand, and
both consider themselves highly respec-
table. They were born on the same
plantation, had the same father, but one
had q white mother, while the mother
of the other was unfortunately yellow.
What q difference it does make, after
al, how one happens to be born.

4 NUMBER of the doctors in Galveston

are several patients, 50 each.

When doctor number one don't know
what's the matter with you, and gets
doctor number two to tell him, the price
of number two is fifteen dollars.
"For an opinion involving a question
of law, $25 to 500.
"For treatment of cases of yellow

AN AC1IvE VOLCANO IN THE MONA
volcano in the moon is said to be in An
active state. The crater called Lime,
on the Mare S~erenitatis, was noticed BY
an astronomer ut Athens, a N. Schmidt,
during the months Of October and No
yember, to be obscured. English pho
tographs taken during the same time
show the crater very family marked.
The same darkness was observed on this
spot by the eminent astronomer Schroe-
ter in November 1888. The London
Spectator says: "The impression is
that an eruption is going on, but If SO,
must not the moon have an atmosphere ?
Could combustion take place without
oxygen? Would the smoke-the car
bonic acid ~gas-rise without some hesv-
Ter gas, like atmospheric air, to rise in ~

GOLD HILL.-0ur Town for several
days past, has been very quiet, with the
exception Of teamiug. The work in the
mines is progressing very steadily. A
large amount of ore is being taken from
almost every mine in Gold Hill. The
local news Of the place is not exciting,
~ the people are o busy to make any.
Every man who wishes to work IS busy.
The greatest drawback at the present
time 10 . want Of timber for the mines.
The snow in the mountains above
Washe is in such a condition that it is
almost impossible to get any timbers
down into the valley. In a few days,
however, the roads will be better, when
there will be an abundance.

Mrs. Dean were for several years con-
nected with the revenue department in
the New York Custom House, and en-
joyed the acquaintance and society of

How FALSE REPoRrs ORIGIxATE.-A
curious illustration Of this is to be found
in an anecdote told in q lecture by Mr..
Spurgeon. A minister lived opposite
one OF the deacons of his church. A
report got abroad that the minister had
been seen to beat his wife, and the mat
ter was brought before 4 deacon's meet
ing. There the minister said he had
traced the spreading of the report to
the deacon's daughter. The good man,
the deacon, said he would not have
spoken, but his daughters name having
been mentioned, he must then state that
when he was going to bed on a certain
night, he did see, through the window
blind Of the lighted room, the minister
beating his wife, and hear her scream.
The minister WAS nonplused, but he
requested that his wife might be sent
for and questioned. When she arrived
she explained the whole matter. She
sad, "Don't you recollect there was a
rat in the room that night; that it
got on my dress that You got fright
ened and took up the porker that
| could not stand still and ran around
the room, you running after me with the
poker?" This is the explanation Of the
whole affair. Well, then, the lecturer
would remark to his hearers, the next
time they hear a story against a good
man, let them say at once. "There is
II rat at the bottom of it | know" and
that some simple explanation may &C
count for the whole thing.

GOULD l. CuaRY.-The U. S. Mining
Register says that the average value Of
of ore from this Nevada mine when first
opened in 1860, was Sl56 per ton. In
1866, it was only $2s. The principal
cause for this decline in value arises
from tho fact that in proportion as the
working of the mine increased in depth,
the more pure silver becomes, while
nearer the surface the proportion of gold
was large enough to make n ounce
equal in value to six ounces obtained
600 feet deep. This remarkable depre-
citation in the value Of Washoe bullion
is q matter of deep interest to men Of
science as we'll as the owners Of feet.

Why Women Cannot DO Masous.


A fair contributor having asked tho
editor of the Masonic Department of the
New York Dipateh why women cannot
become Masons, he answers by relating
the following anecdote:
at is said that whom King Solomon
was still q young man, he had married
his seventh wife. She was q beautiful
Young Ammonitess,, with locks as black
as the ravens wing, and eyes as bright
as the eagles. 1t was believed that she
was the favored fair one among all the
s%ultanas of the Great King, for his affec-
tons were not divided then, as they az
terward became. She knew her power
and used it unsparingly. In addition
to her other qualities, she was as in
quisitive as ever was q woman on this
earth.
Gone evening King Solomon attended
Lodge on some grand occasion, and
stayed out somewhat late. When he
returned home he found the fair Am
monitess in tho dumps, and pouting just
like the dear wives Of Mssons do some
times now when their lords stay out too
late at the Lodge. She upbraided him
with neglecting her, insinuated that he
hadn't been to the Lodge, as he pretend
ed, and insisted that in future he should
give proof that he went there by having
herself initiated, so that she might 60
there and watch him.
Daughter Of Ammon,' replied tho
King, thou hast behaved tbyself as one
of the foolish women, in presumiug to
question thy lord and master. Thou
art not SO angry with me as thou pre-
tendest to be, for the true reason OF this
behavior is thy Unsuitable curiosity, in
which thou eIcellest Eve herself. Know,
then, that | here ordain that neither
thou nor any Of thy inquisitiye sex after
thee, shall ever enter the portals Of a
Masonic Lodge; but shall snjoin the
Tyler to,,pierce through with his drawn
sword any woman that shall attempt To
enter a Lodge-aye, even thee, Queen
of Israel though thou be ! And that
ordinance of this wisest Of monarchs
has continued in force till this day.
We hope, now, that We have satisfied
the curiosity of our fair readers as fully
as did King Solomon that of his Queen.
