DeRfh of William PApe Noble.

The announcement Came to us at an early
hour this morning that William Pope
Noble, a we'll known journalist of this city
had ceased to live. He had been i'll a
week. and his death, which occurred at
half-past twelve o'clock last night, was
caused by pneumonia.
Mr. Noble has been for many years con-
mencing as reporter for the New Orleans
Times, and closing in the same capacity.
Mr. Noble was elected to the first House
of Representatives of Louisiana after re-
construction from the Fourth District of
this city, and served in that body with
credit a full term. AS a legislator he was
honest and conscientious, though his views
of public policy were sometimes essentially
different from those held by the Repub-
licans, he having been elected by the Demo
Gratis.
His legislative duties led to severance
of his connection with the Times newspaper,
and he subsequently became temporarily
connected with the REPUBLICAN.
There was considerable versatility about
Mr.. Mobiles style. and he was equally happy
in writing On Carondelet articles. report
ing political meetings, making extended re-
views of theatrical productions, or writing
obituaries. One of the latest obituaries
Mr.. Noble wrote for the REPUBLICAN was
that on the occasion Of the death Of Horace
Greeley
Mr.. Noble had many warm friends in the
journalistic profession. who will lament his
death. He was devotedly attached to his
family, and leaves wife and two children,
who are thus suddenly bereft of the protec'
tion of husband and father. We extend
to them our sympathy.

Compulsory Education.

Our State Superintendent fccom-
mends compulsory education, and
Governor Booth while not exactly en-
dorsing his arguments in its favor, yet
gives the weight of his official infu-
ence in its favor. In the main we like
the ideas advanced in the Governors
late Message, but the idea of cOmpell-
ing the attendance Of our youth at the
public schools, however forciblc the
arguments in its favor may seem, do
not appear to us to be consistent with
his other professions. The Governor
and the reformers generally seem to be
impressed to some extent at least, with
the great truth that we are governed
too much. Our Government is get
ting altogether too paternal, and is
sticking it's nose into many things
that are none of its business. The
people are beginning to realize this.
They want change, and instead Of
going still further, and invading even
the sacred sprecincts of the family, to
carry out some utopian scheme of uni
versal education, they ask that the
State shall relax its hold upon their
domestic affairs, and leave them some.
thing to attend to without Govern
ment interference.

WHILE the press Is felicitating it
self upon the great improvement in
public morals as indicated by the con-
viction Of Tweed, would it not be well
70 call attention to the marked differ
ence in the treatment Of the rich man
and tho poor one, when the law by
some unaccoutable blunder consigns
them to the same prison? A starving
and freezing wretch steals pair of
boots, or q morsel Of food, and virtuous
New York sends him up for twenty
years hard labor, masking shoes.
Tweed plumbers the public of millions
and dcmoraliges q whole community,

murder, ia appointed clerk at Sing
Sing forfour years. Verify, not only
before the courts, but even in the con-
temned cell sildcd rascslity is at a

GOVERNOR BooTH may well call
attention to the abuse of special legis-
lation. The State Of Illinois found
that such intolerable evils flowed from
the practice, that in its new constitu-
ton special legislation was cut off at
one fell swoop, and yet we are follow
ing right on in her abandoned path.
OF six hundred and thirty-seven acts
passed at the last session of our legis-
ture, only one hundred and fifty-two
were Of a general character, and many
Of these could have been dispensed
with, If a general law covering their
scope had been adopted. The only
safety lies in rigid exclusion of spe-
cial Legislation from our statute books.

Land Monopoly and Taxation.

EDITOR HERALD: Among the many
remedies for the evils of land mon
opoly, the latcstis foreshadowed In
paragraph in Governor Booths mes
sage, in which it is recommended that
taxes shall only be levied on land,
while the improvements thereon, and
personal property are exempt. 1t is
urged that this will throw the burden
of taxation upon the owners of unim-
proved lands and town lots, and COM
pei them to throw their possessions
into market. The chief objection to
this plan is that it violates the plain,
honest principle of equality before the
law. All property being entitled to
equal protection should bear an equal
proportion of the burden OF taxation,
and any plan by which certain class
of property is made to pay more than
its legitimate share, is simply dis
guised cOnfiscation. There can be
little doubt that the unimproved lands
of the State, have in many instances,
escaped paying their fair share OF the
taxes, by reason Of under-valuation,
and would-be reformers would show
more wisdom in striving for the reme-
dies within their reach and withal
strictly just, than by seeking to over
turn the whole system of taxation. If
all the property in the State were as
sessed at fair cash value in the mar
ket, taxes would not only be equally
apportioncd, but incidentally, the di-
vision and sale of our large landed es-
tates would be encouraged.
If indeed confiscatiOn in any form is
to be practised, let us 60 at it boldly,
and after prohibiting any ono person
from holding more than say $40 acres
of land, condemn to the public use all
in excess of this amount held by any
one owner. BY this means tho State
would become the owner of the sur
plus land by purchase and the exercise
of sovereignty, and no one could COM
plain of unequal taxation, or cOnfisca-
ton. It is generally conceded that no
individual has the right to monopo-
lize the waters of the State, and is
water more important than land: If
the State has the right to restrict the
quantity of water that an individual
shall appropriate to his exclusive use,
why has it not the same right to limit
the area of land that he shall absorb?
Possibly the people of the State are
not ready for such radical change III
the policy that has obtained of allow
ing every one to grab all that he can,
but we are sure that very few will OBJ
ject to just and equitable valuation
of all property, and a thorough system
of taxation that will not allow any
species of wealth to escape its just
share of the expenses Of the State.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-12-10

THE Alto proposes to demolish the
Grangers by having the Republican
party grant them all they ask for, and
thinks that this plainly leaving them
nothing to stand on, will effectually
dispose of the new party. But what
will become of the Republicans if they
follow the Altd's advice? That party
is essentially a monopolist's party, and
if it should yield to all the demands OF
the reformers, there would be nothing
for it to do but curl up and die.

CalifoYnia's Share in Tariff Leg
iStation.

We are glad to see prospect for uni
ted action in favor of modification OF
the tariff, so far as it affects our west
ern interests. The tariff as it now
stands Ia a great and unnecessary bur-
den upon the industry of this coast.
Pennsylvania and New England, by
united and untiring effort have always
succeeded in building up and fostering
their manufactures at the expense of
the whole country, and 1t Is time that
ether localities look out for their own
particular interests.
The Mississippi valley States are
gradually waking up to the fact that
they have been imposed upon. The
Pacific States should be ready TO act
with them for such changes are de-
manded by tho common good, and
with such an accession, the free trade
column will be strong enough to over
come the scheming monopolists who
have 30 long laid the farmers of the
west under contribution. And while
our Granger friends are so busy fight
ing monopolies, IL would be a good
idea TO give some attention to the
greatest of all monopolies, high tar
III for class protection. The tariff falls
1n California farmers with crushing
weight. The tax on jute and bagging
alone abstracts a heavy sum from their
earnings every year. Over 100000
grain bags are used in a single year,
and the number is increasing. Not
only is q tax levied on the new bags,
but after being filed with wheat and
exported, the old bags must again go
through the Custom House and pay
duty. Tho people Of the State feel this
burden and desire its removal. The
only way to accomplish such a reform
is to follow the example of New Eng
land, and work for the desired end in
season and out of season, subordina-
ting ell other matters to this import
object, and smothering all minor quar-
yels which impair our strength and
Influence.
