TuE TAY law.

The earnestness and good will shown by
the members elect to the Legislature from
this county in the consultations concerning
the Revenue law and its effect upon the
financial existence Of the city are cheering
The meetings have been well attended, end
the discussions, though general, have been OF
great interest not only to those present, DUE
to the public. This defects in the ReVenue
law, and the deplornble consequences to this
and the other cities of the State, have been
pointed ont and Of these consequences there
are two points involving the question "heth-
er the continuance Of city governments Will
be possible or not. These points are:
l. That, under the existing law, the city
governments, in strict compliance with law,
have made appropriations for legal purposes;
some Of these appropriations being perempt-
torily required by the Constitution and by
statute that the cities have in good faith
levied taxes to meet these appropriations ;
and that, after the expenditures had been
made or the liabilities incurred, the Courts
have discovered such defects in the Law as To
warrant them in setting aside the ta1-lery,
and thus left the cities without revenue. Here
is the extraordinary situation of municipal
governments needed by law to make ex'
1,enditures and deprived Of the means OF col
lecting the revenue required for that purpose.
Nearly three millions of dollars OF unpaid
taxes are due to the City Of Chicago, and
proportionatcly as much to the other cities,
and the law. furnishes no remedy The
municipalities cannot borrow money to pay
the debt, and are prohibited by the Courts
from any attempt to enforce the collection Of
the unpaid tax. ...
2. That the evils as they are set forth in
the foregoing are continuous, and each yea1
the deficit grows BY fresh avoidance. Of taxa
ton, and it is necessarily mere question o1
time when these deficiencies must be re-
pudiated or the municipal governments sus
pend.
The remedy is in correcting defects in the
law. At present, payment of taxes is purely
voluntary. There is no compulsory process.
There is no penalty for the non-payment Of
taxes. The delinquent taxpayer can &C
into court at any time within Il long period oi
years, and by the tender Of the overdue taz
and G Per cent interest have all liens o,

FRENCH CAN-CANS.

It may not be generally known, or may
have been forgotten by many who knew IL
that the name Of the lascivious dance when
opera 5oube has transferred from the Aaolne
and the Closerie des Lilas Of Paris to the
gaze of fashionable audiences in America
originally meant class of things which 10
can only call e triaes." The French a1e
given up to ean-cans Of all descriptions :"
peace and in war, in music and art, in he1~
ture and the drama, in debate and s1@0
affairs, in society and even business ea"-
cans frequently exert more influence over
the average French character than the mo1e
serious phases Of life and responsibility
Was only few days since an entire Ministry
was turned topsy-turvy over The queS''on
whether member Of the Legion OF Honor,
dying outside the Church and deprived o1
the usual clerical accompaniment at ou1ia1'
should not also be deprived Of the military
honors ordinarily paid at the deatn % .
Chevaier. This was sufficient to BRING Oh
national crisis, the end of which IS not ye1'
Another sensation of the day IN PARIS IS tno
production at the Theatre Francais OF q PiaJ
by KMAsx-CaArR1Ax founded upon then
{: Historic du Plebiscite." The mere an
nouncement of the play Was enough to To-
vive all the old animosities between the In
perialists, Legitimists, and Republicans, ana
cahals were formed variously to hiss and ap'
p1aud. We believe the result was that tne
play showed so little political animus tna@
the Radicals couldn't applaud and the bon%
partists couldn't hiss,-which must have been
q serious disappointment to both aides. but'
if the stage censorship Of France we're le%
strict, it is not unlikely that the Produo"
ton Of every new play would call ON
factions whose dissenlons would be u Dsa-

Now every one knows that sngars. salt, and all
kinds of groceries and domestic dr7-goods can be
purchased in Baltimore as cheaply rs in New York
Hence the Chicago buyer can save 13 per cent on
his transportation charges by making his purchases
in Baltimore instead OF New York: To Cincin-
natl, St. Lonis, and other points the advantage in
favor Of Baltimore varies according to distance.
This is the way Mr. TAxDEEB1Lr is protecting the
interests OF New York and providing business for
his four tracks,. Also this is the way the NAN

WELL IlIDDEN.-A lady OF this place
was quietly sitting at her sewing one
day last week. when she observed n
neighbor approaching the house, whom
she did not care to see. She quickly
dropped her work and stepped into n
closet, so as not ito be at home" to her
caller. The closet door closed with n
spring and imprisoned the lady. The

stop, but when the lady tried TO open
the door she discovered. alas, that she
was prisoner. The lady realized that
she was consuming the air very fast. yet
she was powerless to release herself FIR ON
