CHICAGO is In high indignation COLI
corning a recent act Of the State Board
Of Equalization. Certain towns and
counties. representing about 10 per
cent Of the population OF the State,
have recklessly contracted a debt OF
more than $l3, 500, 900 in railroad aid
bonds. bearing an annual interest OF
$l,OS5, 253. AS they were unable to
pay even the interest on this enormous
debt, the Board Of Equalization steps In
and increases the general assessment
of the State from $500, 900, 900 to 81
200, 900, 900. thus making the debt good.
Thus co per cent Of the taxpayers are
called upon to help pay q debt they
had nothing to do with creating. Nat
urally they demonstrate, and their
tones are loud ard threatening. The
Chicago Tribune thus speaks OF the
scheme: 1.-THE share Of this plumber
which Is to be taken from Chicago will
be, perhaps, $5OO,o 900 a year, which,
with the 81, SOC, 900 taken from other
counties, will pay the whole debt,
principal and interest In about thirty
years. The conspiracy between the
bondholders and their confederatcs at
Springfield Is to secure the payment OF
the principal and interest Of these
bonds BY a tax OH the counties owing
no part thereof, and, to make the same
as unobjectionable as possible, to ex-
tort the larger share Of 1t from
Chicago"

Fouk A ONLY.

After three trials, Stokes, the slayer
Of Fisk, has been convicted Of man
daughter In the third degree, and SEN
fenced to the State Prison for four
years. The result will astonlsh most
persons who have followed up the his
tory of this case. 1t was the general
opinion that he would, on this trial,
be acquitted. He has already been In
prison nearly two years, awaiting and
enduring the ordeal Of three criminal
trials. He Is broken down In health
and utterly crushed In spirit. Four
years more will make an old man Of
Edward s. Stokes. We are very glad
that there will be no more trials Of
this case. Our sympatlies are not
aroused on account Of Stokes, but we
refer to the case of tho two boys, limo
cent Of any crime save being poor and
unfortunate, who, since the ARRAY
which resulted in the death Of Flax,
have been i~ncarcerated in jail as wit
nesses. For their sake aud for the
credit Of our system Of laws, we are
heartily glad this murder trial Is at
last ended. Had Stokes been convict
ed Of any greater crime, most desper-
ate, and probably successful efforts
would have been made TO procure a
new trial, pending which the poor
witnesses would have remained In
durance vile. We r glad that the
farce Of criminal prosecution In this
case Is ended. Foster, the car-hook
murderer, WAS less fortunate than
Stokes, In that he was convicted at \
time when public opinion was intense
ly agitated. His execution somewhat
appeased the desire for vengeance
then existing. and LEFT Stokes with a
better chance to escape the halter. Az
ter all, what a farce Is a criminal trial
nowadays.

We have before called attention to
the fact that an earnest effort would
be put forth by the lobbyists at the
coming session Of Congress to obtain
from the General Government a guar
antee, or In other words, an assump-
ton Of the debt OF the Southern States.
1t Is we'll known that such a scheme
has been for several months in process
of organization, and many Southern
members and Senators, with not q few
from the Northern States, are alleged
to be pledged to support or to secretly
favor the scheme. 10 exhibit more
clearly the plot-the temptations to bril-
berry and corruption with which It Is sur
rounded and the amount it would add
to our national debt-we have taken
some pains to collect from the best au-
thority attainable the debts Of eleven
Southern States as, they were re-
reported by their several State officers
in 1872. They have been, In most oil
the States named, largely increased
during the past year. In none are we
aware OF a reduction having been
made:
