l. may rot be generally known that
remedy for the present embarrassed con-
dition OF city finances exists, and is aetu-
ally in the hands of the Mayor and Ad-
ministrators. \ vigorous application to
some of the tax resisters, who hire halls to
hold tax resisting meetings, for prompt
discharge Of their long neglected duties
would 10 doubt produce the happiest
effects. There is now due the city more
than four million dollars for back taxes.
4 small per cen. of this amount, it is
quite likely, can not be collected, but the
bulk OF it is due and owing by men amply
able to pay. Thousands of men of small
means have paid up; hundreds OF those
much better able to pay have not, but
have either loaned the money out at from
two and half to four per cent month,
or spen. it in pleasure-seeking abroad. 1t
is no uncommon thing to hea- men OF
large means boast that they have no. paid
a dollar for taxes for years.
We think i. will be highly popular
move, on the eve Of an important cleo
ton, to move against those delinquents.
It is not fair to make those who have paid
suffer for those who have not. Every
dollar which the city is compelled to pay
on account Of depleted treasures is prop
erlv charpeah}e To delinnent taXpayerS.
The burden, however, has to be borne by
innocent parties. The small properties
of the city are freighted down with taxes,
because those who have enough to make
it worth while stand off the tax collector
in one way or another every year. II
these professional tax resisters really feel
the regard for the poor oppressed people
which they profess, let them manifest it
by discharging their own duties, and thus
render it possible to reduce assessments.

Mr.. Carlose, delegate to the Democratic
convention from the parish of Webster, OBJ
iects that the shorthand report OF his
speech in the convention did not convey
the meaning he intended. He was not pre-
pared to vote for the resolution OF Mr..
Lewie, complimentary to Messrs. McEnery,
Penn and Others, until he had heard every
word of it read distinctly, 50 that its full
purport could be understood. He was not
disposed to follow any leadership blindly,
NO matter in what direction, and tho tumult
that prevailed in the hall prevented him

white workers. All these billions stolen ?
How, then, has the South paid for all
those other billions Of merchandise i'm
ported from Europe and the East? In
what manner have the white workers
become possessed of all those mules,
wagons, plows, steam engines, sugar
mills and trains? Did those who stole all
these statistical billions send all the flour,
corn, bacon and whisky as donation
and gratuity to the plundered white
workers? Or did the railroads, steamboats,,
barges and ships carry those products for
nothing?
Really, we should have thought an
economist would have explained that the
price of Southern products having been
increased, a less weight Of crop
would bring much money. 1t would
seem that an occasion would have
arisen to impress the value Of
mixed industry by which even
the white workers would have been en-
abled to keep their earnings at home.
But, no. The crop money Of the South
has not been expended at all. 1t has been
stolen. The negroes have not labored at
all. The white workers are credited With
the whole crop product of the South since
the war. The claim is yet defective
There has been considerable amount Of
mental services performed since the war.

Another pleasant story has been rude

Journal does it. 1t says: The thrilling
account of the escape of Mr.. Hall, a
butcher in this town, from death by suf-

the Woonsocket Patriot, has been read
with absorbing interest. An escape so
miraculous, and all through supernat-

did not return to the house to admins

eye and railway lantern, soon espied the
moneyless passenger on his uneushion-

him off? No. He had a deeper plot.

Her ~Impatience.

young lady and an old gentleman as sole
passengers, she exhibited symptoms of
impatieuce at the slow progress made.
The car had % halt for a team on the
track, and she would have got off but
for the gentleman, who said:
"It's for only half a minute-don't
be impatient" .
Then the car waited two minutes on
a switch, and she put her head out of
the window, walked up and down, and
was on the platform, when he said:
"There comes the other car. You
seem so impatient that I am'led to be-
lieve that some of your family are sick.

replied, as she took her seat again.
