REUNION. Undoubtedly the great
est event of the week at Dubuque,
during the Fair, was the reunion that
took place in the gentlemens' Parlor of
the Key City House on Thursday
evening. 1t was grand coming to-
gether of residents of Jackson county
iowa NOT only present residents
but former. d. P. Smith, ofthe Deck.
er House, Maquoketa, presided over
the meeting and Capt. John Bard
Sheriff of the county, acted as master
of ceremonies. There were present q
large number of whom the HERALD
reporter counted for one. The past
was rehearsed, the present was but
lightly touched, and the future entire
" ignored. The occasion was one
that will long be remembered by those
present, and future reunion will be
looked forward TO with pleasure.

PLUMs.-We find on our table a
sample of the Heberline plums from
the nursery Of Joel Barber that we
hail as harbinger Of better fruit
than we have before known in this
State. They are certainly gorgeous
to the sight and luscious to the taste.
Heretofore our fine cultivated plums
have proved failures. The Green
Gage and Lombard, the Imperial
Gage and Golden Drop have been ex-
perimented with; but where is the
fruit and where are the trees now?
The Heberline plums have been ex-
hibited at our County fairs several
years and have proved hardy and
uniformly productive. Their great
size and beauty cannot fail to make
them general favorite. Color--rich
purple size-very large season OF
neutrality-suspicious..

TEMPERANCE LEcrURE.-A cores
pendent at Bloomington informs the
HERALD that the lecture on temper
ance given in that place last Sunday
evening by Mr.. Sargent, was an
able and eloquent effort and listened
to by a large and an appreeistive
audience. The speaker portrayed
the evils of incompetence in glowing
terms and showed how steadily and
surely King Alcohol would take
possession of those that would sub.
NIT to his vile influence. The lee
turer entreated the moderate drinker
to cease worshiping at the polluted
shrine of Bacchus and to pursue the
paths of virtue and sobriety. The
incidents which were given as fall
ing under the speakers own knowl-
edge were excellent and forcible ar
gunents in the cause of temperance,
and should be warning to all that
heard them related. He showed
that alcohol is not a natural produc-
ton nor does it exist in any plant
or animal or even the mineral king
dom, that it is rank poison and
ought never be allowed into the
stomach, and that no animal except
man would indulge in the pernicious
habit of drinking it. Mr.. Sargent's
style of speaking would do credit to
professional temperance lecturer,
and many of those who follow it as
a business would learn by hearing
him speak. His lecture is the best |
thing of the kind ever given in this
place on the same subject. After |
the lecture Miss Nellie Osborne read
a poem selected from Ella Wheeler's
poems, and was we'll rendered and
received with applause. This was
followed by comic but truthful
statement of facts by Mr.. Frank
Schell, who has the cause of temper
ance at heart The whole affair was
the best temperance meeting OF the
season, at the end of which twenty
six signed the pledge and went home
happy One thing Mr.. Sargent did
was to get out all che saloon-keepers
TO hear him as we'll as nearly all
those that frequent the saloons,
which all the other efforts made by
the temperance people failed to do.

GOVERNMENT rANEs On BORROW
ED CAPITAL.

Among the more obnoxious features
Of the Internal Revenue law when its
weight was most oppressive was one
clause which the officials interpreted TO
mean a tax upon capital. Not only was
the sum which n nan had put into his
business taxed. but that which no bor-
rowci or what was deposited with him.
This tax fell with great severity upon
the bankers and stock brokers who,
turning over large amounts OF money
daily. found their expenses largely in
creased. They protested and sent COM
mittees to Washington. as was done in
the recent attempt to remove the impo-
sition OF a tax of l-2oth OF 1 per cent
OF stock and gold sales. Their efforts
were fruitless. They complained that
the tax was illegal. and when finally
compelled to pay did so under protest,
and began legal proceedings to recover
what they had paid.
The New York Tribune gives nm inter-
esting account OF u late decision upon
this subject, which il sustained. will be
OF great importance to those who paid
taxes under the law referred 10. II APP

posts made with them and liable to be
withdrawn by checks and drafts and on
all money borrowed for their own use
on margins. They paid the tax, amount
ing to about $4,000, under protest, and
then brought suit in the United States
Circuit Court to IL, ON the
ground that il was not authorized by
what was known as the Bankers and
Brokers Act Of 1866. The case was
tried some time ago before Judge Wood
ruff. who reserved his decision until re-
ecently when he rendered ii in favor Of
the plaintiffs. The act referred to and
under which the taxes were collected has
been repealed. but according to the
Tribune. it is the opinion Of United
States District Attorney Bliss that IL

versed. about $50, 900, 900 will be taken
out Of the Treasury TO refund TO other
bankers and brokers taxed at the
same rate under the provisions OF the
law referred to.
