The total amount of taxes is So. 16.
Now "Jeems" knows perfectly well
that /, as Auditor, cannot possibly
locate this piece of land any where in
that section, and consequently any
deed that | might make for that land
would be void, and would be set aside
by the court, upon application of the
said "Jeems." There is low a suit
pending In the Circuit Court OF this
county, against the Treasurer and
myself, to enjoin US from selling, for
delinquent taxes, the following de-
scrIbed property, to-wit: Thirty-one
feet Cliff street, j. [. Addition, Lot
AZ, and 81 feet, Cliff street, j. |. Ad-
dition, Lot Is. The attorneys bring
ing this suit say, in their complaint,
speaking of the sale that had previ
Ously been z1.ade, that said pretended
sales was and were illegal, null and
void, because of the uncertainty of
the descriptions of the property in the
assessment, duplicate, delinquent list
and notices" The result of all this
uncertainty is that it is almost impos-
sible for the State to collect her taxes
by sale of the real estate of those
who are delinquent. 1t therefore
seems that there ought to be some
description of property that would
enable the proper officers to collect
delinquent taxes, and thereby lessen
the taxes of those persons who do pay
their assessments.
The following facts will show that
the tax payers Of Wayne county now
pay enough taxes, in every Eve years,
in addition to what they ought to pay,
to plat every piece of land in the
county. The delinquent list is pub
lished every year at cost of from
5000 to 81 900 per year, and the total
cost of preparing it amounts to nearly
az much more. IF purchases cannot
be protected, it is useless to go to
that expense, and they cannot be, if
these twv sections are repealed and
nothing substituted thereafter. If we
have delinquent list of $4,000 each
year, and there is no way provided for
the collection of the same, / want to
know if the officers authorized to
make levies for different purposes,
don't have to levy enough, in addition
to what should be levied, TO cover
that delinquency, and if man lets his
taxes go delinquent this year on ac-
count of imperfect description in his
real estate. won't he let it 60 delin-
quent next year? The disbursements
in the way of ERRONEOUS certificates,
and tax refunded for the past seven
years amounts to $12, 120.37, or an av-
erage of 81, 731 40 per year-$1, 200 of
which is directly attributable to i'm
perfect descriptions of real estate.
[Since tipping the above, we see the
House has repealed the two sections
we have quoted; but made no pro-
vision to obtain more perfect de-
scription of lands

The Democratic PLATFORM.

During the last election, it was an
exceedingly difficult matter to explain
what the democratic platform meant,
especially on the financial question,
and the more the attempt was made
the greater became the muddic; and
it threatened to become either a DO
litical Sphynx or we'll defined mon
descript;;' but fortunately there was
one man in the State of Indiana who
knew whats what" and, at the sea-
son of democratic rejoicing over the
election of Hon. Jos. E. Mcdonald to
the Senate Of the United States. at the
Occidental Hotel" at Indianapolis,
the following reliable and explicit in
formation was given, which we take
from the published proceedings on
that occasion, from the daily Journal
of the 21st:
: Judge Dykeman, of Cass county,
being called out, held glass of wine
in his hand and said: Il still stand
by the platform of the Democratic
party" He then proposed the health
of the noble Roman, Senator Melon
aid"
The people of the State will now
breathe easier.

a desire to cast an unjust ref1ectlon on
any party or individual.
The situation i'm the South is alarm
ing. and it is rather too much to hope
that it will become entirely peaceful
two years hence. Both parties have
alleged that elections in those States
were unfair and fraudulent. Suppose
that two years hence some of those
States in which troubles exist similar
to those in Louisiana should return
Republican electors. The Senate at
that time will be Republican; the
House Democratic. Who doubts that
the latter would raise a question
regarding the vote of such States. and
would refuse to consent to their adj
mission, especially if such votes would
be decisive and result in the election
of a Republican President. Aside
from the opposition which Democrats
would naturally exhibit to admitting
such votes, there would be peculiar
temptation to refuse them in this in
stance. By doing so the election
would be thrown into a Democratic
House of Representatives and thus
victory denied by the people might be
gained by a party majority in the low
er house.
1t seems to us that this melting
cause to disorder and usurpation
ought to be at once removed. Of
course this would be done by the
adoption of Senator Morton's plan,
but whether the repeal of this rule
ought to depend on such a contingen-
cy is very doubtful. 1t would seem
much safer to do away with this first,
and go on with the plan OF amend
ment afterward.-InterO Ocean.

From, WASHINGTON.

In a recent letter from Wash
ington City, Samuel Little, of
Connersville, Ind, has this to say
of the situation of the two political
parties in Congress, and of fashion
able society, at the Capitol. in a
communication to the Times, of
the 10Th:
Republicans seemed divided and
demoralized by their recent defeat
when Congress first met, and the
Democracy were greatly embolden
ed by it and made all sorts of
charges against the administration,
loudly threatening what they would
do when they got the power. But
there has been great change in
this respect. The leaders of the
Democratic side of the House
seem to be Speer and Randall,
while Beck and Holman occupy
back seats thus far The two first
named members made severe
onslaught on the Appropriation
Committee, but were so completely
repulsed by Garfield, Hale, Conger

Only 60 days are allotted to the
Legislature of Indiana in which to
carry out all the promises the De-
mocracy made to practice the most
rigid economy in public expendi
lures, and scarcely anything has
yet been accomplished. A consci
entious Democrat, Kennedy, who
represents the county of Marion in
the House, gave voice to his lam
mentations over this neglect of
duty, stating that one third of
the time had expired and only one
or two bills for personal interest
and personal schemes had been
adopted and not single bill in the
interest of the people! He says
members get So per day and
adjourn from Friday noon to Mon
day noon-he deprecated this
waste of time. He had made
thirty two speeches to the people
of Marion, in favor of the Democrat
ic party and he pleaded for the
rights of the laboring people-the
producers of the country This
confession was too much for the
Speaker who called Mr.. X. to order,
and he took his seat; but he per-
sisted in protesting against the
waste of time, and concluded by
calling ''for a division of the House
on the previous question. This
is little bi tot Democratic testimo-
ny on the extent of the pratice of
Democratic economy by our Dem
ocratic legislators.

Judge Perkins FINISHING II.

Little-by-l little has the Supreme
Court of the State unconstitutional
lied the Baxter Law until its eff
cheney was SO badly crippled that it
ceased to be terror to those engaged
in the traffic, and they seemed to
think that complete immunity was
guaranteed them. and the reign of
free whisky" was inaugurated. One
little safe guard was thought to be
left in the law. that made it appear
like an animated corpse, or the last
spark of vitality. That was the con-
struction given as to who are compe-
tent to sign petitions. in order to OBJ
tain license. The law declares ma
iority of the voters of the ward or pre-
cinct shall be obtained and the last
election, before application for per-
nit shall be granted. shall determine
the majority to be had to the petition
in order that the proper permit be
issued by the Commissioners. The
construction put upon this clause by
temperance advocates generally, was
THAI the majority of those who actually
voted at the LAST election, name by
name, would have to be procured be-
fore permit could issue. If this
were not the case, then In a precinct
or ward where there was only small
majority of those opposed to granting
a permit, the liquor seller would feel
interest enough in getting the requi-
site number of names to his petition
by inducing voters sufficient to move
into the ward or precinct long enough
to sign his petition.
Judge Perkins, who enjoyed the
satisfaction CD of squeezing the life
out Of the only prohibitory law Indi-
ana ever had, is the chosen judicial
instrument to garrote this last spark
of life, left by the Supreme Judges,
out of the law, and there is really
nothing left of it excepting, possibly,
the 9 o'clock restriction! Judge p.
decides every voter to be competent
to sign petition to a permit, if he Is
a citizen of the ward or precinct at
the time 1t is presented to him-no
difference whether he voted in that
ward or not at the previous election.
So we go, and SO goes the Baxter
Bill

after the feast has ended. The ex
tremes of wealth and poverty are
presented IN immediate proximity
to each other, but it is not all gold
that glitters, as I am told that
many of the silken, bejeweled occu

THE REPEATING OF LANDS


Pursuant to notice, meeting was

sessment law, passed by the special

called to the chair to act as President
On motion. e. G. Nudd was chosen

lied, a resolution was rfered by Mon
ford q. Beeson, as follows:
PREAMBLE = Whereas - We, the
citizens of Washington township
Wayne county, regard the action OF
the Auditor of said county in at
tempting to force us to re-survey and
plat our lands as unwarranted by any
construction that can be placed on the
Assessment Law That all the land
in this township has been surveyed,
recorded, and listed for taxation; that
such proceedings on the part of the
Auditor can in no way add one farth
ing to the revenues of the county, and
can be viewed ia no other light than
salary grab, an attempt to increase
his and other County officers pay at
the expense of an already over taxed
peoples therefore
Resolved, That we deny the au-
thority of said Auditor, ordering said
survey and plat of lands to be made;
refuse to comply with his order, and
will use all lawful means to prevent
the same from being done-carried
unanimously.
Hon. Othniel Beeson addressed the
vast assembfage of persons gathered
together, and in a mastery speech
showed that cur officials had put a
wrong construction ON the law and
urged the people rot to pay any atten-
ton to the notices received from the
Auditor.
On motion, that the preamble and
resolution be placed on Chart and
forwarded to county Auditor-car-
