We hear it rumored that some of
the political opponents of Mr.. c. E.
MILES, Democratic candidate for Re-
corder, are charging that he is super
intend ent of the Water Company and
therefore he is the Water Company's
candidate. This is a mistake. Some
time past Mr.. MILES acted in the
capacity of superintendent of the Com
pany's works but he is not connected
with that corporation nor has he been
for some time. Mr.. FRED EATON is
the Water Company's superintendent.

Taxes In Different states.

A table recently prepared from ofd-
cial statements for 1873 and 1874 gives
the taxable valuations and the rates of
taxation in the several States. The
rates vary all the way from 10 cents on
the 800 in Connecticut, to the enor-
nous sum of 50. 15 on the 300 in
Louisiana. The rate is 90 cents in
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Maine,
Minnesota, Texas and Virginia 40
cents in Georgia, Kansas, Ohio and
Tennessee 20 cents in Florida 10
cents in Connecticut "a cents in ILL
nois Is cents in Indiana; II cents in
Maryland: % cents in Michigan /;
81. 123 in Nevada 72a cents in New
York 15 cents in Oregon /; 20 cents in
Rhode Island, and 70 cents in South
Carolina. The great difference in the
rates is remarkable. Indiana and Mis-
souri, have about equal populations, but
the Indiana rate (15 cents) is one-third
as large as the Missouri rate (45 cents);
this is partially explained, however, by
the fact that the Indiana valuation

Western Progress.

The New York papers and the East
ern papers generally are waking
up, latterly more than ever before, to
the fact that the West is growing-in
business and manufactures, as well as
in population. The New York Com
7aerc91t advertiser, in recent issue,
has very interesting article in admis-
sion of this. It remarks that the East
ern reader has so long regarded the
ing the sole right to manufacture for
the rest of the United States, that it
seems to him manifestly improper that
Western capitalists should engage in
any other business than packing hogs
or shipping grain. Then it proceeds to
summarize some of the statistics in the
census of 1870. At that time the State
of New York had 81, ,693 manufactures
in its borders. The six New E0gland
States had 80, O05-viz., s, ,462 in Maine,
9, 1896 in New Hampshire, 3,194 in Ver-
mont, 13, 1913 in Massachusetts, 1913 in
Rhode Island, and 5, ,O82 in Connecticut.
Once these States controlled the manu-
features OF the Union. But if we turn
to the West we shall find some figures,
says the AoUertiser, that s" will startle
us by their suggestive comparisons"
In 1860, Ohio had %, ,254 manufactures;
Illinois had IL, 491 Indiana, II, ,622 /;
Michigan, 9,264; Wisconsin, 6,915 !;
Iowa, 1866. This gives total of So,
102 for the six States. or more than
double the number of the New England
States. Ohio and Illinois togethec had
as many manufactures as New York,
and more than all New England. Com
menting upon this, the Advertiser adds:
"True. many OF these branches Of business
are small. but they are the seed OF great ac-
| tivity in the future. When 1t is known that
Missouri has as many branches of manu-
| facturee as Massachusetts,, ard that Tennessee
has more than Connecticut, it must be evil
| dent that Ben Butler spoke words of sound
wisdom to his constituents when he bade
| them remember that the scepter OF power had
passed to the country west OF the Middle
/ States. It is vain TO shut our eyes to this
| fact. Baltimore has been prompt TO recog-
nize it by extending her great railroad artery
to Chicago, and by begging the West to
make its seaboard port In Maryland. Il is
| time that the people of New York also walked
| to knowledge of the fact that the West is
not only producing country, rich In all re-
sources OF the soil, and boundless In it's ca
pacity for its production, but that there has
ceased TO be any obstacle to the extension of
| it's manufactures. It has all the facilities
| that the East can boast. Cheap transports
ton has made machinery and the raw ma
| terial everywhere available, and the Western
manufacturer has his customers at his doors
The next decade is destined to see steady
growth OF manufactures at the West and
competition In sales for which Eastern manu-
facturers must be prepared"

A Good Patent Medicine story.

ss Lives there q man with soul so
dead as never to have heard of Prof.
Benton's g Holloway pills and oint-
ment2 These curative medicines have
been constantly advertised for the last
twenty years in every newspaper in the
world, the result of it's publicity being
that the Professor has realized am enor-
nous fortune. He and his wife are now
well stricken in years, and they have no
children. So he is spending his money
in bene6cence. Believing possibly
from the large sale of Lis quack medi-
cines-that most people are mad, he
has built an asylum for the insane at
Virginia Water, near Windsor, at q cost
of G1OO. 600, and he is now about TO
erect at Egham university for ladies,
on an estate which he has just bought
for e25, 600. The best professors will
be engaged to give the highest educa-
tion possibly to women, and the scheme
will cost G150, 900. This Mr.. Holloway
once asked Dickens to write one page Of
