MI Wells, of New York, proposes a reformed
system of taxation" which so far meets with
hut little favor from the class he says he intends
TO benefit, namely, the owners and occupants OF
mOdeTate-sized hOuses-worth from 5000 to
$1,000 He proposes to assess real estate for the
purposes Of taxation at its full and fair market
value. owners of houses of the moderate class
we have referred to, who now paw taxes on an
average assessment of not over fifty dollars, see
IN this nothing more or less than a prospect of
nearly double taxation; but by the other features
OF his plan he contends that their present rates
viii be greatly reduced. He proposes, in the
hrst place, TO tax all personal property. con-
ssting in stocks or shares in moneyed CORPORA
tons. at their full value by means of the contro,
To which the government il entitled over this
class OF artificial property-owners. In the next
pace, he proposes to assess the personal
property; other than shares in the mOneyed COR
POrations, by the evidence each person give, of
The amount he owns. This evidence is 10 he
found IN the rent or rental value OF the house
or warehouse, or other building occupied by him
MT Wells contends that he can thus reach all
personal property for taxation which of itself is
equal to reduction Of nearly one-half of the
burden borne by real estate. and that this reduc-
ton VIII take place in spite of the advanced
valuation of real estate in the assessments. His
I'ian, he claims, will equalize taxation. In the
state OF New York, while the actual values of
the two kinds of property-real and PERSONAL
are nearly equal, real estate paws taxes in the
proportion Of five to one; under the new plan IL
will psy but half.

"LET THIN PRKACH.D-There was n very
large congregation at Rev. DIR. Cuyler's church
in Brooklyn last Sunday, many of those present
attending in the expectation Of hearing him
make some mention in his discourse OF the &C
ton OF the Brooklyn Presbytery in cautioning
him not again to allow Miss Smiley, of the So
ciety of Friends, to preach in his pulpit; but
they were disappointed, As he did not refer to
the woman question. Ii was the subject of ser
mons in several other churches, however, but in
none OF them were the sentiments Of Rev Mr..
johnson of the Brooklyn Presbytery endorsed.
who, in advocating vote of censure on Rev. DIR.
Cuyler, said that she loved women, but none of
them should ever dictate to him." On the con-
trary, most OF them commended DIR. Cuyler's &C
ton. MIR. Beecher preached q stirring sermon
in the evening from the 34th and 35th verses of
the fourteenth chapter of First Corinthians
81 Let your women keep silence in the churches
&c, and took the ground that st. PauI's obs err
vatioR regarding the speaking OF women in the
churches was addressed to the Greek churches
only, and was purely local and Temporary, hay
ing nothing to dc with the status of women i'm
the present state of civilization. Had st. Paul
known how stupid people would be in this day
he would have added the words Sin Greece"
to his prohibition to women to speak
Nr. Beecher hOnored his brother Cuyler, and
gave rap at the inconsistent Presbyters who
could quote st. Paul glibly against women
speaking in church, but not against their braid
ing OF hair and wearing of jewels and costly ap-
psreI. He did not believe in a woman's right to
preach if she had nothing to say, but if she had
he would bid her GOd-speed. Rev. j. j.
White, Of the First Methodist Protestant Church,
took the same ground; and 80 did the Rev. DE
Witt Talmage, OF the Brooklyn Tabernacle He
went even further than Brother Beecher and
advocated women voting since "Eve voted in
Paradise to enslave the world in sin and Mary
voted in the manger to emancipate the human
race" He asked, sarcastically, had Miss Smiley
horns OF hoOfs that his brethren were 50 afraid
society would tumble to pieces because she
preached in q church? She did not preach
treason; she simply told the story of the Cross
Her right to preach to ten or twenty-five was not
questioned; why should her right to preach to
thousand be?

tent ourselves with stating that the result OF all
the calculations is that from . TO 80 years of age
the mortality per 900 is in married men, 1914
in bachelors, and q in widowers. This bene-
fetal influence of marriage is manifested at al
ages. being always more strongly marked in
men than in women. Whether similar calcula-
tons in this country would give the same results
is an open question. In countries where the
women help by their industry and thrift to in
crease the family fund, instead Of decreasing il
by their love for display, married men are not
subjected to the same strain as here, where in
order to make both ends meet, they are in MANY

Referring to the fact that three fatal railway
accidents have occurred this winter from broken
rails and that in two OF the instances additional
lives were lost on account OF the cars being set
on ire by the red hot stoves on board, the Golden
4gs says:
q In spite of the frequent accidents from car
rylng red hot stoves, and the constant warnings
which come from the fearful losses of life in
consequence of this practice, most OF our rail-
road companies persist in heating their cars In
This dangerous and criminal way. And prob
ably they will continue to do so until a presi-
dent, or director or two, gets burned into a
erlsr, or our legislatures take the matter in
hand and compel these corporations to have a
decent regard for the lives OF the unfortunate
people who have to ride over their roads"
The only hope for the public lies in the roast
ing of high railway officers. So long as mem
bers Of legislative bodies are furnished with
free passes over railways there will be no leg
islstion in the interest OF the people which will
cost the companies anything; and 20 long as
Legislators can be bought so cheap, free passes
will be given The thing works on the endless
chain principle.
