TAXES. ARD TEo BENEFITS 9BEREByo

Waggaman, Ellis & CO., at yheir Expo
sition Hall meeting, advocated the non
payment GG taxes as the best means %
wiping Uut the vampires, 6ieves and
vandals who are crushing out the very
existence of our people. In this no very
complimentary manner they refer to the
Democratic city government Democratic
judges, clerks of court, sheritfs, coroners
and other officers who hold sway in the
parish of Orleans and elsewhere, to say
nothing Of the grinding corporations and
monopolies whose franchises are enjoyed
by Democratic bankers, brokers and mer-
chants who get frantically Indignant and
sanguinary because the installment OF a
reform Republican government endangers
their profitable schemes.
Foremost among the latter class OF bur
dens on our taxpayers is the LeVee Com
panv, the directors Of which are such well
known supporters of the would-be McEn-
cry government as Messrs J. G. Gaines,
D. T. Kenner, S. H. Kennedy, c. S. Hunt,
". L. McMillen, r. 3. Campbell, c. T.
Howard, L. F. Generes, Bradish Johnson,
aud j. H Oglosby. We have not list Of
stockholders at hand but are assured that
this would present an equal array Of COM
bined responsibility and Democracy.
These gentlemen represent the most grind
ing, unjust and oppressive Of the various
classes Of State taxation, and the one from
which tie people receive perhaps the
least proportionable benefits. This gi-
gantic and ever growing monopoly-mul-
tiplying its demands upon the taxpayers

The results of this and similar reform
atory works we can plainly foresee, in the
transfer, at no distant day, of the popular
faith and good will from Messrs. Ellis,
Waggaman & Co. to the less noisy, but
more practical leaders of our own parry.
Such consummation is inevitab Bile.

We have before US copy Of bill in
troduced by Senator West, by unanimous
consent Of the Senate, the object of which
is to establish mail steamship service
between New Orleans and certain West
Indian and South American ports. We
have not as yet found time to compare its
provisions with those Of another bill to
similar effect, introduced last winter, and
therefore can not say which would be
most likely to co.-duce to our. commercial
interests, but welcome both as evidences

The danger of unauthorizedly employ
ing the names Of gentlemen presentas Off
GERS Of IN indignation meeting was well
illustrated at Exposition Hall an Thurs
day night. The prime movers in the af-
fair took down the names Of some two
dozen persons whom they recognized and
called upon to act as vice presidents, but
even when they had been, after a fashion,
elected, not half-a-dozen accepted by tax
ing seats on the platform as requested.
This attempt to force respectable parties
into a seeming support of whatever scheme
they may have on hand, is a trick SO COM
mon with the Democratic wire-worEers
that it is becoming a public nuisance.
The quiet rebuff given them on Thursday
last should be followed up by more pro-
nounced denunciations of this abominable
practice which keeps many estimable and
public spirited citizens from attending
meetings of this character, for fear, as in
this case, of being pushed into apparent
advocacy OF what their conscienccs con
demn.

The biggest story yet told OF the re-
cent great storm in the West is from
the correspondent at Yankton, Dako-
Ia, of the New York herald, who
says: Some idea may, perhaps, be
formed ofthe heaviness OF the snow
storm when il is stated that By ;
o'clock on the afternoon that the
storm set in, the Missouri river WAS
covered six or eight inches deep with
snow and slush that fell TOO rapidly 10
melt, and formed q cracking and rust.
ling surface as thick as porridge, or
the mingled snow, water and sand
through which foot passenger trud-
ges in that city after tbaw. Eye
witnesses say that a man in snow,
shoes could have walked across the
river on this floating snow-drift."

The Legislature Of Illinois, has de.
voted great amount Of attention te
regulating freights and fares upon the
railroads of that State. AT their last
session bill was passed which failed
to stand the test of courts. but the
discussions and trials and judicial
discussions which that bin brought
out have been used in framing anoth-
er bill, which has just been enacted,
and which is hoped to be free from
the defects Of the other.
The first six sections Of this bill
provide against cxtortionate charges
and against determinations, with
heavy fines, increasing with repeti-
tioh of the offence, until they reach
$4,000 for each offence.
The seventh section provides for
the prosecution Of all violations of
the law by the rail road and ware.
house commissioners, at the expense
of the State.
The eighth section provides that
these commissioners shall make
thorough investigation, and shall es-
tablish schedule of rates for each
road IN the State, and all charges in
excess Of these shall be considered
1'r"na facie extortionate, and are to be
SO adJudged unless they can be shown
otherwise. This is very stringent
law. and seems to be drawn with
great care to avoid technical, consti-
tutional and practical difficulties.

cem5er, 1900, he declined reappoint-
ment, and died May II 1929. John
