The Dishonesty of Body.

II anything were needed to show an en-
tire absence of any moral principle in the
man II. II. Body he has furnished it
himself by his recent testimony in the
foreclosure suits showing how certain
class Of newspapers were subsidized to pub
fish, as their own editorials, whatever
falsehoods he might write or furnish in re-
lation to the projects of the Rockford
Rock Island & St. Louis r. r, Co. and
the ability of the corporation to pay the
bonds it might issue to obtain money to
build the road. Body absolutely knew
that the scheme for the road was fraud
and swindle; he knew that every person
who invested dollar in the road stood a.
better chance to be struck by lightning
thai he did to ever receive one cent of his
money back again; he knew that he was
playing a dishonest swin1ling game upon
credulous people compared to which high
way robbery was honorable. The confess
sions made by Body in his testimony show
that he used the money of bond holders to
bribe certain newspaperssto recommend
the bonds, proving himself to be more cor
rupt and dishonest than the publishers OF
the newspapers subsidized, for he abso
lutely knew he was perpetrating base
fraud on the public. while they did not
know but the road might turn out toltr
ably fair investment.

Coincidence Of Storms.

1t is coincidence that, three years ago,
we had an immense rain and thunder storm
on the same day of the month as this year
the 9th. People will recollect how the
lightning flashed, the thunder rolled and
the foods descended on the former as on
the latter occasion. The rainfall, however.
of the June three years ago, was much the
greater, since great damage was done to
railways and highways by the overflow of
river and creeks. During the night of the
9th of June, three years ago, houses were
unroofed in Iowa, City. The storm pre-
vailed with great power over Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, and Ohio, Railroads were block
AIDED. At Apple Greek, on the Rockford
Rock Island & st, Louis road bridge was
washed away and 60 head of cattle drowned.
In the vicinity of Whitehall and Green
field the railroad track was carried away,
and all over the states named great dam
age was done.

The Cornoration Tax Cases.

In the United States court in Chicago on
Tuesday Judges Drummond and Blodgett
heard the arguments on the question Of
modifying the many injunctions already
granted in restraint of the collection of
taxes on the tangible property of corpora
tons, so as to allow the collection of the
taxes on the valuations returned
by the corporations themselves to the
assessors Col, Robert G. Ingersoll
opened the argument and con-
tended that the whole tax is illegal because
the state in assessing the taxes had levied
a tax which would produce $4,000 more
than could be legally raised; that the ac-
ton Of the legislature in taxing, as it
had done, the capital stock and property Of
corporations, was blow at all aggregated
capital; that the action of the state board
of equalization was unjust and illegal.
Attorney General Edsall argued in sup
port of the measures taken by the state
board of equalization. After further
argument the court gave leave to file some
evidence on the subject, and announced
that they would take the matter under
advisement for the present.
On the same day the same judges wer,
also to hear the arguments of the attorney
general in the contempt proceeding agains
Sheriff Bridges, of Greene county, for seiz
ing certain train of cars of the Rock
ford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad
Company. The questions involved are:
l. Does the appointment of receiver O
the property of railroad company by
court of chancery supersede the revenu
laws of the state and practically exemp
such property from taxation.
2. IF the state revenue laws are not thu
superseded, is it incumbent upon the Stat
to obtain leave of the court appointing sue
receiver, before it can enforce the collet
ton of taxes assessed upon such property
| We hope this case will be pushed unit
We get decision from the full bench :
Washington. The people want to know if
federal court can supersede and destroy Ii
right of sovereign state to collect its ow
taxes in its own way. fit can we may {
well abandon state governments and
ruled by a central daspotism.

Notices have been posted for an election
for two members of our board of education.
The election will be held at the court house,

Maj. Connolly declines to be candidate
for reelection. He has served a long time
and acted as president of the board, giving
universal satisfaction and could be elected
without opposition if he would accept
But he feels that he cannot give the time
necessary to an efficient discharge of the
duties of the ofice-especially as we are
about to build new school house and close
attention should be given to the work.
Mr.. McMasters is spoken of by all as ar
excellent, intelligent and efficient member
and it is hoped that he will consent to g
reelection.

withdrawing, that DR.. Truesdale will be
