Taxing Railroads in Ohio.

The bill providing for the tax
alton Of railroads in this State,
which recently passed the Senate, is
designed to establish a new prin-
ciple. 1t requires the valuation of
Railroads for taxation to be not less
than 80 per cent. of the market value
of their stock, bonds, and securities.
During the debate on the subject it
was argued that some roads had
cost a great deal of money, had
benefited the public enormously,
and yet had returned no dividends
to stockholders, and therefore, it
would be unfair to tax the stock.
To this it was replied that the bill
only proposed to tax the stock and
bonds of roads according to their
market value; that if the stock oil
any railroad really paid no dividends
it would have no value in the mar
ket, and, consequently, would not
be taxed under the bill at all. The
measure appears to be a very
thorough one, one of its sections al
lowing every tax payer of the coun-
ty through which a railroad runs &c
be present at the meeting of the
board which values the property ot
the road-Which will be pretty sure
to prevent fraudulent valuations.

The Toledo Scandal

There is a discreditable state of
things in the Toledo District, con-
nected with the appointments to the
Federal offices. Congressman Peck
has secured the removal Of some of
ne officials on the ground of his
right to demand the appointment
o. friends of his own. Pending the
decision of the case, charges and
counter charges We made, in which
it was asserted on ire o side that
the occupants of the offices united
in offering a bribe of $4,000 to pur-
chase a respite from official decapi-
tatlon, whilst on the other it is said
the offer to exempt them from mo-
lestation on payment Of $4,000 came
from the friends of the Congress
man. This much seems to have
been established: that an intimate
political friend of Congressman Peck
did offer to retain the the officials
in question for a bribe, that the
officials refused to pay the amount,
and that t. ev have since been sum-
marily elected. There is no evi-
idence to show that MIR. Peck
knew of the attempt to secure a
bribe, but on the contrary it would
seem that the affair was a private
speculation of one of his immediate
supp lrters, and that Mr.. Peck was
merely the agent of his friends ra-
paci.J.
But look at it in any light, the
affair is thoroughly disgraceful, and
is one of the strongest arguments
in favor ofsuch a reform of evil
servi-a as will take patronage out Of
the hands Of Congressmen.-ClsU6-
land Herald.

of the Emperor's birthday In 1914 sus-
pension Of the work was necessary, but after
the revolution IN 1880 the work was renewed
with energy, and in 1886 the ceremonies in
honor of its completion and of the events
which it was designed to commemorate were
celebrated, occurring on the 29th Of July in
/ that year.
From minute description of this wonder
! full we learn that "the northern pier, on the
front toward the Champs Elysees, is a group
representing the departure of the army In
1871, the Genius Of War calling the nation to
arms being the most prominent figure. The
southern pier has for its front group COM
memorative of the victories of 1910, Napoleon
being crowned with laurels by the Goddess OF
Victory, while Fame proclaims his triumphs,
and History engrayes them on her tablets.
| Figures emblematic of conquered cities are at
his feet. The front towards the Avenue de la
Grande Armee presents group on the north
representing Resistance young soldier de-
Tending his family from invaders, behind
them warrior, slain in combat, falling from
his horse; on the south is a group represent
/ ing the Peace of 18l5-a warrior IN the cen
| ter, returning his sword to its scabbard; q
woman holds an infant while another child
leaning upon her; another person Is repre-
sented as tanning bull; over all is the figure

feet high. OF the groups in relief, in the com
partments above the coInice, thatin the south
ern compartment, on the eastern side, repre-
sents the surrender of Mustapha Pacha at the
battle Of Abourkei; the northern, the death OF
General Marceau. On the western front, the
northern group represents the taking OF Alex
andria, the other the passage OF the bridge OF
Arcola. Above the cornice, on the northern
side Of the structure, is the battle OF Auster-
liz, and, on the southern side, that OF JemaP.
pes. The frieze represents the departure OF
the armies, distribution of the flags and the
return Of the armies"
This magnificent structure, the Telegraph
informs US, has been destroyed, or irreperabiy
damaged, by the missiles thrown in the re-
cent battles at Paris. 1t is, perhaps, proper
that this monument to the glory OF French
arms should be destroyed at the departure OF
the glory and strength of France. Its exist
ence hereafter would be a sore reminder OF
present degradation, rather than an index
pointing to former renown. While all WILL re-
gret its destruction, at least little conso ton
may be derived from the reflection that France
to-day needs everything else more than the
mere recollection of what she once was as con-
trssted with what she now is.-IOIGdo Com.

The Arc de Triomnha-

Our dispatches from Paris mention the des-
truction Of the Arc de Triomphe in the Place
de rEtoile, in Paris, and brief account of
this structure may be of interest to most of our
readers. 1t was built at the instigation of
Napoleon l, to commemorate French victories
over Russia and Austria. Its location was in
the center of the place, surrounded by the
most elegant buildings, while radiating from
it were some of the most fashionable avenues
of the city. This monument to French yalor
and skill is said to have been the most mag
nifcent structure of the kind in the world
The first stone of the structure was laid on the
18th Of August, 1890, that being the aapiyersa-

In his factious opposition to the

now experience a trihe of chagrin to

he expected to lead in his Quixottish

expected to be cited as his master

A JOINT RESOLUTION passed the
Senate, on the Goth providing that if
the L.ssess of the Western Reserve
and Mau9uee Road, shall decline to
contine their lease after the 1st of
June next, or fail to keep the road
in repair, that the Board of Public
Works shall take charge of the same
collect the tolls and spend the same
in improving the road. This is
move in the right direction, and we
hope the resolution viii pass the
House and the Board of Public
Works will see that the Iessees do
their duty or take charge Of the road
as contemplated in the resolution.
A NEW move has been made in the
contested election case in the Third
Ohio District, which promises to
bring the issue to a speedy tlial.
Peter Schwad, the leading inspector
on the board of the Fourth Ward in
Hamilton, where the alleged fraud
was committed, was arrested in that
city on Monday, on the charge of
stufing the ballot box at the Con
gressional election last fall. Wit
nesses have been summoned on both
sides, and the trial was set for last
Wednesday morning at nine o'clock.
Hamilton is wild with excitement,
and it is reported that Hon. L. D.
Campbell says that if the charges are
proved he will resign.
