BGsNARcKAND THE HEBREW SABBATH
The great German statesman proves tc
be as willy a sheologian as he is a diplo-
matist, and has ,astohished the Jews BY
his Talmudical knowledge. The recent
elections in the Empire having been or
dered for Saturday, the Jews felt that
practically their franchisewas cut off, as
they could not conscientiously take part
in secular business on their Sabbath. Ac-
cordingly, a rabbi, Bamberger by name
telegraphed to the Prince asking what
was to be done in the emergency. An
immediate reply was received as follows:
Tickets may be inscribed on Friday; be.
sides, while the Sabbath ends at a O'clock
and fifty minutes, the election does moi
close until Q o'clock, so that there remains
an hour and ten minutes in which tC
vote" The matter was thus efFectually
put right, and 1t Is to be presumed thai
many Of the conscientious Hebrews made
the act Of voting the first secular duty tc
be performed when the sacred hours .oI
the Sabbath had expired. ''7''' ''''''

THE RAILROAD AND TAXATION

Some time ago we stated that the
assessed value of all the property, IN
the Parish, was $500, 900; that cur
Parish debt was about $2l, 900, and
if we agreed to give the Central Rail
way $4,000 per annum for Il years.
our taxes would not be doubled, but
only increased one third, for the
plain reason that the 80 miles of Kali
road, through our Parish, would cost
$l,3OO.OOO increasing the taxable
property one third, and would there
fore pay one third of the entire Far
ish tax. Thus: Parish Tax SCI 900,
Railroad Tax $4,000, making S42,-
600, one third of which, $4,000, the
Railroad would pay, leaving the Par
ish $4,000 to pay, or only $1,OOt
per annum more than now. For the
purpose of illustrating the result o
taxation upon individuals, we have
procured from the Tax Rolls the tax
es Of six citizens from $1.5O to $2O'
as follows:

We propose to enquire what will be
the increase of this taxation, II we
agree to pay the Railroad $2l cooper
annum. At first blush one would say,
if you double the debt you must
double the taxation, but this follows
only when there is no increase OF
property. If the amount property
is doubled at the same time, with the
debt, the taxation will not be IN
creased. For instance, the above list
shows a taxation Of 10 mills on the
dollar; and upon an assessment OF
50. 100000 shows a Parish debt OF
S25, 900. If there is brought into the
Parish $2,5OO,O00, in property at the
same time, that the Parish debt is
doubled, the taxation will remain lO
mills instead ofincreasing to 20 mills.
If the property is increased !, while
the debt is doubled, the taxation Will
be increased only 1. But to return
to our illustration. In order to free
it from the perplexity of odd num'
bers and fractions, we will reduce the
Parish debt to $2l, 900 and the assess
ment to the same sum, and reduce the
, Railroad from 81, 100000 to 81, 100,
! 600, and thus preserve the taxation
