Living Too Fast,
: As a business nation, we oc-
casionally make very grave mis-
takes; not in the mere matter Of
dollars and cents-though a
good deal may even be said on
this subject-but in our endeav-
ors to stand in the front rank
as merchants, as politicians, we
draw too heavily on the bank
account Of nature, and, in con-
sequence, become bankrupts.
An honest business man will
hesitate before expending more
money than he earns; in fact,
his property is based on the
maxim that receipts S IN ould.
greatly overbalance outlays, ju-
dicious axiom is forgotten, and
as a result, we die of American
disease, nervous prostration.
When man, is struggling
against human nature :,
has an opponent who makes no
allowance for mistakes; an an
tagohist without spite, but also
without pity. If moderation be
observed, the antagonism is
Realthful, is productive of de-
cent ambition; but the moment
humanity rushes into excesses,
it finds itself opposed by a
power against which it is vain
to struggle, over which it is i'm
possible to triumph.
We boast Of our energy, and.
with some reason, for we have
no medium even in tyilles. AS
we destroy sleep by broOding
over vast financial schemes, so
we destroy health in the inter.
est Of real estate. We cannot
eat a sandwich like the rest Of
the world, but gulp it down
without mastication for fear of
loosing a minute or two of val
liable time. When an over
stomach protests, when
a weary brain gives unmistak-
able sigus of exhaustion, the
lesson is not read Alright; the
overburdened animal is rested, |
but is forced into fresh activity |
by means of alcoholic poisons.
Another law Of our existence is
that we must never be seen
without a cigar or drugged
"fne-cut" tobacco in our mouths.
Moderation even in this luxury
is disregarded, and our blood,
like our cloths, is tainted with |
nicotine. Perhaps it is impo-
lite to refer to the amount of
saliva dailv lost by a shrewd
business man; but what society
ignores, nature takes a strict
account Of, as evidenced in
sunken checks, dry lips, and
lack-lustre eyes. We have read
in novels that the rich East In
dian uncle Is compelled TO sum-
ulate his liver with curry to
keep digestion alive. The
of high spiced articles
consumed in this country would
cause astonishment in the breast
Of even a Bramaputra owner of
a white elephant. If Peter Pi-
piper picked and ate a peck of
picked peppers, he would still
in this respect be far behind
the average American school
girl.
Knowing the life of our bust
ness men, it is not astonishing
that SO many die Of nervous ex-
haustion, but the wonder is that
any should be alive to tell the
tale. The artificial require
ments of American civilization
are so many that, perhaps,

A MIsTAKE-It is thought by some that
the City Council cannot tax real estate for a
special purpose and exempt personal property.
This is mistake. The constitutional provi-
sion which says "that all taxation shall be
equal" means that if the City Council makes
a tax-bill, it must be based, first upon just
assessment and secondly, the rate per cent.
of tax mus; be equal. 1t in no manner enjoius
that if the City Council does tax u man S 10: it
must also, as a matter Of necessity, tax his COW.
1t can tax his horse or house, or not, just as it
pleascs but if his houses or horses are taxed,
it means that both houses and horses are to be
taxed an equal rate per cent. Cd the hundred
dollars worth Of the relative value of each.
This is what it means and nothing more.

Gov WISE in bis letter, referred to in
Yesterdays Gazette, accompanies it with
bitter denunciation of the Conservative party
much more bitter than be showers upon the
Radicals He says he will not ''act with the
Conservative party" We bad no idea before
that he was as much opposed to the Conserva-
tives as it now appears he is. His letter is an
Indictment against the legislative and political
action of the Conservative party, aud he seems
to be particularly angry that the great body OF
them should have accepted the nomination OF,
and voted for Horace Greeley But even ad-
hitting all that he says, (which We do not ad-
NIT, in condemnation Of the Conservatives, the
question recurs, who is to obtain the poitl-
cal mastery in Virginia, the Radicals or the
Conservatives According to his opinion, it is
six of one and half dozen of the other. We
hold to no such opinion. We think it is In
fnitely better, in every sense, to secure Con-
servative triumph at the coming election. But
these are strange times, and strange are the ac-
tons and sayings OF some politicians.
