The system of taxation in Tennessee
needs general overhauling and revision.
We alluded few days ago to the unequal
and unjust assessments on real estate, as
they are now made. No adequate idea OF
the real value of real estate in Tennessee
can be gathered from the reports of the
Comptroller as they are gathered from the
assessors lists. The assessments are made
by so many men, who are governed by so
many different motives and who differ SO
widely in their judgment, that they are
valueless in forming a conclusion as to the
real value of land.
But there is another feature of these as
sessments that might be improved. Here
we are at the trouble and expense of
making yearly assessments. Is this
not altogether unnecessary? and not only
that, but we believe it bad policy to make
early assessments. If Mr.. A. purchases
& farm worth three thousand dollars, and
by his industry alone makes it worth five
thousand in two years, his industry ought
not to be taxed until he has had some re-
turn for his labor. Let assessments be
made, say once in five years, and then if a
man buys farm, and by his own labor
doubles or adds largely to its value in a
short time, his labor is not Immediately
taxed, and he feels that the policy of the
State is to encourage industry.

THE nomination of Mr.. Rule for Mayor
by the laboring men of the city, without
regard to political differences, gives his
personal friends of the opposition the OPP
porturity of supporting him without COM
promising their political relations. Thus
the Greeneville Sentinel, Democratic pa
per, and the home organ of Andrew John
son, in noticing his candidacy, says:
I'VE see that Capt. VIM. Rule, of the
CHRONICLE, has been unanimously nom
"inated by the "laboring men" of Knox
"ville for Mayor. Capt. Rule is an old
resident of Knoxville, and one of the
'most progressive and liberal men within
"its corporate limits. He would make a
Mayor of which Knoxville would be
proud, and we hope that his personal
worth and popularity may bring him from

ORIGIN OF LOTTERIES. = Lotteries
were invented by the Romans to EMIL
ven their Saturnalia. The festival,
which was instituted In commemora-
ton Of the freedom and equality which
prevailed on earth In the golden reign
OF Saturn, began by the distribution Of
tickets which gained some prize. Au-
gustus appointed lotteries, which con-
sisted Of things of little value ; but Ne.
70 established some for the people, in
which 1000 tickets were distributed
daily, and a number Of those who were
favored by fortune became rich by
thom. Heliogabalus Invented lotteries
Of n very singular nature the prizes
were other Of great value or Of mono
at all one gained a prize of six slaves
aud another of six files some got val
liable vases and others vases Of COM
mon earth. A lottery Of this kind ex-
hibited an excellent picture Of the in
equality with which fortune dlstrl-
butes her ravors. The first lottery in
England of which we have any account
was drawn at the west door Of st.
Paul's Cathedral, In 1869, and consist
ed of 40, 900 tickets at 40 shillingS each.
The profits Of the lottery were 10 be
applied toward repairing the harbors.
In 1912, King James appointed a lot

for the plantation Of English colonies
in Virginia. The principal prizo was
1000 crowns In plate.

UTAH

Although the subject Of the admis-
sion Of Utah as a State has been freely
and extensively discussed. yet even II
no polygamous or other social oojec-
ton existed, tho number Of her popu-
lation is not sufficient to entitle her to
membership In the great confedera-
ton. TO the Mormons such admission
to the Union would be both desirable
and advantageous, for freed in a great
measure from interference of Jealous
Federal officials they could the better
defend their pet social system, and
continue to elect Brigham Young
Governor as often as they saw tit, or at
least until outnumbered by Gentle
votes, aud the vote Of Utah in Presi-
Dental elections would count the same
as other States. Being allowed aCon-
gresham they would have their pecu-
liar institutions ably advocated In the
halls of tho nation. Desirable, how
ever, as admission to tho Union may
be, Utah will, under the present Cir
cumstances, have to walt a little
longer.

SACRAMENTO, February 5.-The Su-
preme Court has ordered a new trial In
the Fair case. The principal point
argued to the Court and most relied
upon by the prisoners counsel was
that the jury bench vas Incompetent.
The point was decided In favor of the
people. The Judgment was reversed
because the Court below admitted evil
dence As to the character Of the de-
PENDANT for chastity, and upon the fur
Their ground that in capital cases the
defendant was entitled to two counsel,
and that attorneys must argue a case
to the jury alternately, and In this In
stance the late Mr.. Cook was entitled
to CLOSE the argument to the jury,
which right was denied by the Court.

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT SALT LAKE
The Herald Of Saturday says:
D Yesterday morning about o'clock
O murderous ARRAY with pistols took
place In one of the Railways Of the Re-
we're House. The circumstances ofthe
occurrence are about as follows: Dick
Garrison and Jack Dowd were the ac-
tors In the affair. Between these two
mon there has existed for some time a
grudge, growing out Of the Jealousy OF
Dowd because Of the attentions paid
his wife by Garrison. On the evening
before the shooting the two men were
drinking together in an apparently
friendly manner, and they both ut
tended the masquerade ball and either
returned from the ball together or met
after IL was over ut the Revere House.
At any rate about the time mentioned
an alteration between the men &C.
Cured, Of which Mrs. Dowd was the
subject. Dowd first drew his pistol and
fired at Garrison, whom the latter drew
and fired. Between the parties four
shots passed, one of which entered tho
right side in front Of Dowd and passed
through his body. At 10 p. ". last
night his case was without change, but
precarious. Garrison gave himself up.
