The visit of Lord HouGHros to the United
satessst year made for him crowds OF friends who
have naturally desired 10 possess the poems from which
his reputation public man 1rst derived. These
productions, however. have hitherto been scattered
about unconnected volumes, most. n not all Of which,
were quite oftprint that hss been impossible
to procure them. The difficulty has been removed
however In the pup lcation by Mcssrs. Roberts OF
a complete collective edition IN two volumes.
These poems marked by delicate fancy. elevated
feeling. entire sympathy with every form Of humanity
and extreme literary culture and refinement. faith.

We observe with interest the announce
ment that an agent Of Mr. JAMES GoRDoN BEN
NETT has procured In the ltiO Graude country a
herd Of twenty ponies, to be used by the Polo
CLUB which Mr., BENNETT and bis associates have
organized, and whose headquarters are establish
ed near Jerome Park. TO this enterorso we wish
the same perfect success rs we desire for every
other form OF athletic manly sport. We hope
that the ponies may arrive IN safe ty, and prove
themselves perfectly suitable TO the require
ments ofthe club As we have already Informed
our readers, polo Is simply hockey or Skinny,
played on horseback and II needs very smart
horses ana very STUART horsemen to play u with
much pleasure or success In England where,
from the constant prevalence of fox hunting,
the art OF horseman5hp Is cultivated and prac-
tlsed by everybody, the introduction of polo
would seem natural and yet, SO far as we are
aware, It has not been played except at Hurting
ham Dy military men. In this country, on the
other hand, except perhaps In Kentucky or Tn
nessee, hardly anybody rides on horseback, the
trottlng wagon being the favori o FORM Of horse

For many years pact there has been an
enormous and prolcate waste Of the peoples
money in the Public Printing Department at
Washington. The treasury has hled freely. for
tunes have been accumulated. and cash and
other favors have been literally distributed
among those who have supported, or excused,
or winked at these abuses. All this printing Is
done, or purports TO be done, under acts Of Con-
rress, and the great share of It by virtue Of
special orders OF one or the other Of the two
Houses.
All the general and special legislation In rell-
ton to this matter originates with Joint Com
mittee on Public Printing, composed of three
Senators and three Representatives For long
period the Chairman and most influential mem-
Der Of that committee has been Senator HESRY
u. ANTHONY OF Rhode Island, He has always
been very active in the MANAGEMENT OF tho
business Of the committee and having had the
control Of a newspaper and printing office In
Providence for thirty years, his opinions were
pretty sure to sway the action Of the COM
mittee.
1t Is safe to say. therefore that every bill and
resolution by virtue OF which millions Of dollars
have been wasted In schemes OF Jobbery and
corruption, and n great system Of recklessness,
peculation. and fraud has grown up, passed
under the supervising eve Of Senator ANTHONY.
The term OF Mr.. ANTHONY Is about to expire I;
and as soon as the Legislature Of Rhode Island
meets. his successor will be chosen. The Legis-
lature Is overwhelmingly Republican. A good
many members Of tho party think ANTHONY
ought to be left at home. lie has been in the
Senate eighteen years, and they want fresher
and a better man. We shall soon SEQ whether
this talk about reforming the party from the in-
side IL anything but idle words.

There are two small wars in the world ut
this time in which Mohammedans are ranged
against Christians-the Turkish war In Herzego-
yina and the Egyptian war in Abyssnia. The
insurgent subjects Of the Grand Turk are par
tlculury anxious that the people Of Europe
shall believe them TO be engaged Ia a Christian
war and 10 all their documents and appeals TO
the great powers they have put their Christian
ity in the foreground and rocited the wrongs

which has brought them such powerful cur
rent Of sympathy from Russia, and which gives
them hope Of assistance from other quarters.
In the present Egyptian campaign against Abys-
snia, also, the Mohammedan troops OF Egypt
have found themselves confronted by the re-
lisious enthusiasm Of the Christian Abyssinians.
The priests Of the Abyssnian Church have dur

The MOST important subject for our con-
sideration is the equalization of taxation.
Itisnot only eminently necessary that means
should be devised by which a reasonably
fair tax may be levied upon ores and bull
lion, and the capital invested in mines and
mining, but there should be more adequate
method of reaching other property now tax
able under the laws. There is usually a
: great cry set up about the plundering and
stealing carried on by county officers, which
may for aught we know, be we'll grounded
in some instances. But we would ask the
candid thinker to pause and reflect. While
this is being done, we would ask, are not
the people robbing and stealing from them
selves? We are assured by our best citizens
property of Meagher county would reduce
the present rate Of taxation at least fifty per
cent. Many honest, straightforward citi-
zens, who have the interests and welfare of
the country at heart, and feel that their
honor is at stake, givein all the property
they possess and that at fair valuation.
Others who look only at the dollars and
cents which can be amassed, who care moth
ing for the public, their hearts being wholly
centered.upon self, put in just as little prop
erty as possible, and that at as small figure
as will be passed by the board of County
Commissioners, who are in many cases
wholly ignorant Of the quality, location,
value, etc., of the property. In short, they
are determined to shirk, if possible, the
burden of1paying their proportion Of local
government expenses, which yotlchsafes to
them their privileges as. free citizens.
We have reason to-. believe that other
counties arein thissame predicament. Now,
we want a general reformation. The inter.
ests Of the, Territory demand ian economical
administration ofour county affairs. Equal
and just taxation should be the motto of
every good citizen. Give lis this and the
condition of our county affairs, which is
now improving, will grow vastly better, and
in q few years there will be scarcely coun-
ty in the Territory whose scrip will not be
worth its face. sss4f nd! e9q3 f
