We trust this Legislature will not adj
journ without exempting mortgages from
taxation. They are at best but evidences
OF q divided interest in real estate, and to
tax house or farm as other property is
taxed and then tax the mortgage, which
only proves that two own the property, is
unjust. A main objection to it is its mani
fest tendency to deprive those who want to
buy farms, bat are unable to pay in full for
them, of their only resource--borrowng
part OF the price and giving a mortgage as
security. Since taxation became heavy,
little money can be borrowed on mort
gage, and so thousands cannot buy farms
as they would. We trust this obstacle to
laudable enterprise will soon be removed.
N. I. T'i6@e.
We take the above extract from the New
York Tribune Of yesterday, as it accords so
entirely with our own views urged several
days ago against our local tax bill. No
thing is more certain than that all burdens
put upon money, as the poor mans me-
dunn Of exchange, are laid in the interest
ofcapitsl and against labor. The rich cap
italist largely pays his way through life
without the use of money, by means of
bank checks, having the credit which al
ways secures an extended account. But
the poor man has constant need for mo-
ney, and the cheaper it is the better it will
be for him. This is true of small as well
as large sums, and laying a tax upon loans
Of any description will of necessity operate
to the prejudice of borrowers and in favor

THE decision of Secretary Robson not
to employ counsel during the investigation of
tbs charges made againsthim, but to permit
matters to take their own course, can hard
ly fail to strengthen the popular belief in
his innocence. This decision is also under
stood to fully accord with the preferences
of the President concerning the matter ;
who holds that the best course which any
accused officer, conscious of his integrity,
can pursue, is to waive all technicalities in
his favor and give the accuser the fullest

"The lesson read by Senator Wilson to
discontented Republicans is a very timely
one. He pointed out that no matter how
influential man might be while acting
within the party lines, he lost all his infu-
ence when he forsook his party. 1t is
quite right that it should be SO. Reforms
can be accomplished by man acting with
his party much sooner than by his proving
faithlcss, and substantially playing into the
hands of the opposite party. We are pass
ing through avery bitter canvass, and many
disagrccable things have happened, and
many more will happen. But Republicans
who in any way work for Democratic vic
