THE TROUBLES OF 10.

As If it were not enough for the whites
and blacks Of the Southern States to Keep the
country in turmoil, now the Indians Of tho
Indian Territory, the civilized Los, aze at it,
and are calling out Justify for United Stntes
troops. The same benign influences which
politics exert in Ticksburg and New Orleans
seem to be operating in Chouteau and Vinita,
and the White Tongue and the blacks are re-
produced in the Pms and the Cherokees
The Pins are on the war-path, and tho Chero-
KEGS ore flying for protection, singing out
Justify es they run for tho interposition Of
the General Government. It comes at very
bad time, for >Sheridnn, who has. had so
much success ns pencemaker among tho
Indians, is now wanted at New Orleans as q
peacemaker among the white patriots of TINT
city. The origin Of the trouble in the Indian
Territory is the old, old story. The civilized
sons of the forest havo got ideas Of sover-
eighty and State craft into their brains, md
as the first stop have divided themselves into
f:ctioas,-tho one party being in favor of
Territorial Government, the other being op-
posed To settle the difficulty, they have
followed in the footstcps'of their white breth-
ren, and commenced to murder and massecre.
If this is to be the effect Of tho example Of
the chivalry and giltedged Democracy of
Louisiana, where is the thing going to stop2 ?
Now that the whites, and blacks, and Indiana
have commenced settling their political
grievances with pistol, gun, and blundezbuss,
how long will it be before the Chinese, and
Alaslzans. and New Medcans, and Digger In
dians will initiate this new departure in poll
tics?
There is ons sad disappointment in this out
break in the Indian Territory. These are
not tho wild Indians Of the Plains and the
mountains, whose untaucd natures lend
thom to deeds Of violence and blood, and
who live, like the BEASTS, by proying upon
the weaker, brt they ars the civilized In

COLLECTION OF CITY TAXES.

The carefully prepared judgment rendered
by Judge WALLACE, Of the County Court, in
August last, upon the application for judg-
ment Of sale for city taxes, leaves no question
OF the insufaciency Of the Inv known IS
Senate Bill 300 for tho purposes for which
it was intended, Tho Court was reluctantly
compelled to decide TINT the inconsistencies
between the General Revenue law and Bill
800 were 30 Hreconcilnble that no Judgment
against delinquentswho fled objections could
be rendered In this decision Of the Court
there was general ncquiescence OF legal
opinion. The trouble with Bill 800 is, that,
while providing special machinery for the as
sesamentand collection Of city taxes, itthrough-
out provides also that that machinery shall
be operated under the General Reyenuo law Of
the State. The General Revenue Inv provides
the machinery for the assessment and collec-
ton OF State and county taxes, and the Law is
adapted to the operation Of that machinery.
The moment the proceedings under tho city
system are transferred to the county officers
then Bill 800 breaks down, and tho general
law is wholly inconsistent with what had
b<1heA p4ACe 0eAu1ts uulS1U6uL WAS 1eIuSeU III
August lost only in those cases where objec-
tons had been made, and the loss of revenue
was comparatively small, but the public was
advised that all that wes necessary to avoid
payment of city taxes was to file an objec-
ton. So, this year, all that is required to de-
fcat the whole levy is to make legal objec-
ton to Judgment On the ta1-warrallt.
The time has come when the City of Chica-
go should hare soma permanent law on the
subject of the collection Of taxes. It is uso-
less to waste more time aud lose mora reycnuo
by patching Bill 800. It is hardly worth
while to attempt substitute for that bill, aud
to have another special law. It is best to
confoss the failure Of the act and to settle
down to the fact Of having but one system
and one sot Of machinery for the assessment
md collection Of taxes Of all kinds in tile
City Of Chicago. Indeed, Bill 800 contains q
provision authorizing tha City Council st any
time to discard its use md employ tho gen
erh State Law for ths assessment and colleo-
ton Of city taxes. Under ths general law

proposed to --incese DANIEL WEBSTER in a
bronze toga for tho delectation OF the classic

WEBSTER in such q plight, can the average
American ever rcalizo WAsuNGTox in his

think CAnLfIE's wild dream of naked
Duke addressing q naked House Of Lords to
be o fact than to divorce tho man of un-
paralleled paternal powers from his clothes.
They are part Of him, one and inseparable.
We think of WASHINGTON the surveyor as
plunging into the forest with bandbox and
rlffles. WASHINGTON the a1de-ds-camp ap-
pears, on the fatal day Of Bn.DDocK's defeat,
in combined halo Of gun-powder and wig
powder. WARRINGTON the General and
WASHINGTON the President are both stately,
magnificent, icy.
Yet we know now that the General swore
roundly at LEE, end that the President laid in
stock Of pipes, porter, rum, and cards. Here
we get something human. With these helps
to our Imagination, we can even fancy the
great andawful GEORGE as Making mistake.
We mny see him with our minds eye, slightly
overcome by the fumes OF the pipe or the
porter, actually trumping his partners ace,
and being soundly rated therefor by the ex-
Widow CURTIS, the partner aforesaid It
would bo pleasant, too, to think Of GEORGE
as modifying Mas7nA by hun,ning The merry
ditty of old Bishop STILL:
Then doth sho troal to me tho bowl
LVeu malt worm should,
And saith: "Sweethesrt, took my part
In this jolly good ale aud old."
Even the unhGllowed imagination Of to-
day cannot go farther than this. We dare
not soy that our idol made mistake io.the
game OF life. It Was M age when forms and
furbelows were substantial helps, and the
soldier-statesnan used both with eminent
success. But ho was man for a that and a.

suits achieved by the Athennum, q Cenera
reference was made to the Dime Co,:rse Of
lectures outlined BY the management for tic

hos issued a prospectus, giving the details,
which are Of more than ortinary interest, aud

themselves Of the advantages OF this excel
lent institution, but to the general pub
lie. The programme has been meds
up with reference to subjects relating
to tho preservation of health arl tho
Improvement Of mental and physical habits,
which will be treated in familiar an6 popu-
lar manner by the leading physicians of tie

CHURCH AND STATE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
"Twelre months ago" sold Prot. FAWcErr,
in recent speech to his constituents ct
Hackney, England, ,-"tw twelve months ago the
disestablishmedt of tile English Church was
spoken Of as the distant dream of few. en-
thusiastio fanatics, but now even moderate
'poiticians speak Of it as change certain to
come, nnd the only question is, by whom and
in what form it shall bo done" This Ian
guage is perhaps too strong. The Cambridge
poltico-economist is sometimes as blind
mentally as he always is physically. His
wish fathers his belief. Nevertheless, his
enthusiasm is tempered with shrewdness,
and his words always have weight.
The sentence We have quoted probably
foresladows the programme with which the
Liberals viii carry the next general election
ind retake the high seats in the Parliamen-
tary synagogue which they lost lost year.
Indeed, Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, one Of the
most prominent Of the extreme Libernls,. has
already declared, in a long article in the Fort
nightly Rerism, that both disestabishment
and dsendowment Of the Church of England
must bo accepted as definite portions of the
Liberal creed before that party can regain
power. The drift Of recent legislation is all
TINT way. G1ADsToNE, who entered politics as
Tory, aud published long~forgotten book
On Church and State, in which ho advocated
the closest union Of the two, and in review
ing which MAcAr1AE called him ss sthe rising
hopo Of the stern and unbending Tories,"
has already, as chief Of the Liberal party,
disestablished and partly disendowed the
Irish Episcopal Church, and cannot hereafter
consistently object to the application Of the
sa1ne policy to the English Episcopal Church
JENKINS, Of Ginz's Baby fame, attacked him
vigorously for his course in this matter, but
JENKINS is as conservative in gion as he is
radical in politics, and no other Liberal of
any prominence echoed his remonstrance.
One of the strongest signs of the times is that
D1sRAE11, when he took Office, found the tide
so strong that ho WIS forced to float with it
Parliament busted itself with matters &C.
clesiastical during the whole Of last session.
It abolished the abuse Of patronage in the
Scotch Church, and threw buahs1 OF apples
Of discord into the English Church by pass
ing the bill for the regulation Of public wor-
ship. The numerical majority Of English
men and Scotchmen ere now, at least, willing
to SEQ The two State Churches disestablished
and to have their surplus revenues used for
purposes Of public education It is within

tives may DO forced to retain their power by

Enough Of them prefer their seats in Ma
tional Parliament to their pews in Church

with the help he would be sure to gain from
the other side of the House, to carry any
such measure. It was, doubtless, in view OF
this possibility TINT Prof FAvcErr said that

third Of the taxes Of the whole district, they
would form the first class alone, and could
send anybody they chose to the Landstag.
This plan gives every one vote, but so
arrcnges matters thnt the property which fur
nishes all the means OF running the Govern
ment chooses two Representatives from each
district absolutely, and has something
to say in the choice Of the third.
It our municipalities were remodeled
after this pattern, the wards would be divided
according to the textbooks, md each would
return three OF more Aldermen. Other re-
formers, again, urge that the only way to
purify power is to purify its source, the peo-
pie. They see in compulsory education the
slow but sure cure Of the evil, provided that
TINT education includes some elementary train
ing in political economy, hygiene, mora1thon-
esty, non-partisan politics, ETC., and is REIN
forced by the education of the body, which
depends upon thorough drainage, rigid super
vision Of necessary nuisances, etc.
These ore some Of the theories that have
been suggested. The objects which must be
attained BY any successful reform may be
briefly enumerated Us the abolition Of the
system Of government by irresponsible Com
missions or Boards; fixing rigid responsible
ty upon all officials; giving proper weight to
taxpayers as against tax-eatcrs; preventing
undue accumulation Of debt, bonded or float
ing; and securing honesty and efficiency, if
such thing be possible. Who cnn devise
plan that>wil accomplish these things, and
can then persuade some State to authorize it
in its Constitution, and some city TO try it?
If such man lives, be can have fame for the
asking.

What Minnesota Supports.

Perhaps it may not he known to all our
readers that Minnesota supports an agricul-
tural paper equal in size, reading matter
and neatness of make up to any published
in the older States of the Union. Not on
ly this. but it is larger. even. than some
leading States furnish. Missouri. which
has three times our population, publishes
Coleman's Rural World, which is eight
columns smaller: Wisconsin, in the
"Western Farmer" only has forty COL
umn paper in place Of forty-eight in the
Farmers Union," published at Minneap-
oils; while Illinois furnishes in the 'Prairie
Farmer only the same amount Of matter
as stheUnion. This being the case, wouldn't
it be we'll for our farmers to patronize home
industry little more and try their own
paper yeary Many are sending of to
New York and elsewhere for periodicals,
when home agricultural news would be
more beneficial We notice that the Union
has recently put on new dress. and that
it still continues to furnish its usual
amount of interesting original matter from
the farmers each week. The publication
of so large and well filed a journal in Min
nesota is credit to the State, and it ought
to be we'll supported hy the farmers. We
will club it with the GAZETTE for $500

P's and Q's.

This admouitory phrase originated
in the mother country, and is said by
some authorities to be at least four
hundred years old. Chalk marks were
formerly made upon the walls of ale
houses, to enable the keeper to see how
he stood with his customers, who usu.
ally bought on credit; and the letters
P aud Q wore put at the beginning of
each mans name to designate the num-
Der Of pints and quarts he had purchas
ed. If oae of tho customers chanced
to be running up larger bill than the
keeper approved Of, or became intoxi.
Gated, he was told, when ordered anoth-
er mug Of ale, to mind his "P's and
o." or, in other words, to observe
the number Of pints and quarts already
against his name, and quit drinking
before the account grew too large or
he too drunk. Ifmany of our people
would only mind their P's aud Q's, in
the literal sense in which the express.
sion was originally employed, the coun.
try would be the better for it. -l"te-
