badness often, though not always,

From the Springfield RepubEtcan,-Hayes paper
The State Struggle in Louisiana.

The anomalous situation in Louisiana
continues unchanged, and may last tor
some days. The spectacle is one such as
has never been seen before in this country
Let us review the facts. On the It'll of
November, the people of the state held an
election for governor and other state
officers and legislature. The vote was
unprecedently fuIl-over 160,000-and the
result was the choice of Democratic legis-
lature and state administration. For Gov
ernor, Francis L. Nichols received 84,4S7
votes, and S. B. Packard rs, fla majority
of SOLO. ln another state aud in any pre-
ylous epoch of the country's history. the
minority would have acquiesced in their
defeat, people would have looked forward
to the installation of Gov. elect Nichols
as matter of course, and the persons
elected to the senate aud house would have
taken their seats when the time arrived
Under the returning board system, how
ever, the election has not ended with the
casting and Counting of the ballots, in
deed, it had only fairly begun. Four Re-
publican partisans then appear who are
responsible to no authority, aud secretly re-
lect over $4,000 OF the 100000 ballots, an
nouncing that Packard was elected COVER
nor by 1924 votes to II, 1913 for Nichols,
with a Republican legislature This work
of revision is performed by aboard which
was not constituted in accordance with law,
and which repeatedly violated the law in
its proceedings.
The facts thus far are therefore that
Nichols received eight thousand more
votes than Packard, and that the returning
boards action in so manipulating these
votes as to declare that Packard received
over three thousand majority was illegal.
A further and most important tact, which
is PARTIALLY conceded, is that the 81. 4S7
votes for Nichols represent, not only nine
tenths of the intelligence of Louisiana, but
| nine -tenths of the tax paying capacity of
the state. 1t would haye been contrary to
all American precedent if these "a, 900
voters, from whom must come the main
support OF the government had submitted
without a protest TO the imposition of al
administrator so overwhelmingly repudi
ated at the polls,

Lets Abolish the Road Tax.

No tax is paid SO unwillingly as the road
tax in cities. 1t is an odious and an un
just tax, in cities, and ought to be abol-
ished. Many cities have abolished it, and
Rock Island and Moline ought to abolish
it. The people who elect aldermen have
the power in their own hands. Let them
make it test at the next election and
elect no man for alderman who will not
pledge himself to vote and work for the
adjustment of this odious and unjust tax.
In the country it is we'll enough. There
people generally work out their tax on the
roads, and as each farmer is about equally
interested in having passable roads, and as
they use the roads about equally, it is we'll
enough for each to contribute an equal
amount of labor to keep the roads in re-
pair.
But in cities, where the majority are
poor people, earning their bread by
daily labor, the tax is the heaviest one
they are required to pay, and it is outrage
ously unjust. Property should pay the
taxes, not blood and bones and muscle.
For a laborer, or a poor mechanic, or clerk
to be required to pay So year to build
streets, whether he mas a cent of property,
or whether he is a citizen or a voter, or
whether he has resided in the city a
month. is an enormous outrage on these
poor people.-a hardship from which they
should be at once relieved, The tax has
never been thoroughly collected in this
city. 1t has been collected from those
who would pay rather than be dunned
or sued, and the balance have been
let alone. This year Mayor But
Ter undertook to be thorough in
the matter Constable Vermillion was
appointed to collect for the whole city,
He followed it up awhile, taking the cream
fit, and then gave it up and asked the
city to relieve him from paying over what
money he claimed was destroyed in his
desk. Then Mr.. B. H. Kimbal was
appointed, and he has been trying to col
lect the balance. If a man promises tC
pay he has been lenient and travelled miles
to accommodate such delinquents. If he
refused to pay; or neglected too long, he
served notice on him to work it out, anC
after expiration Of notice returned the
name of the delinquent to the city clerk
when Kimball's duty was ended. The
clerk then sues the delinquents, and
judgement and costs follow, OF course
And within few days we have learned
from Mr.. Kimbal that many Spersons d.
not pay because they have not the means
to pay.
Considering this state OF things and con
sidering how unjust it is tocompeI poo
man, who has no property andwho is bare
ly able to support himself, 10 pay So tax
and considering that the streets should b.
built and kept in repair by the property
holders, not by those who have NJ
property, we are in favor of at once dis
continuing any further attempt to colIec
; the tax-or al least Of aboishing it fo
another year and thereafter People VIII
want the tax abolished should see that the,
are rot fooled about it when they vote fo
aldermen next spring.

Between John A. Logan and John NJ.
Palmer, the nominees OF the Republican
and Democratic cauCuses, the Indepen-
dents of the Illinois legislature should hot
hesitate long in deciding who shall be Mr.
Logan's successor in the United States
senate Mr.. Logan was originally Demo
crat of the kind he now denounces as cop
perheads and negro-haters; Mr. Palmer
was one of the earliest of western Repub
liea1s-the former is now pillar of
Grantism; the latter has disowned the
party whose leaders read out Sumner
Greeley, Wilson and Trumbull. AS Gov
ernor Palmer took prominent part in the
anti mon0pollst movement to which the In
dependent party Of Illinois owes its exis-
tence, his candidature should prove accept
able to the five survivors who now hold
the balance Of power. Even if the worst
comes to the worst, and they decline to
take uD such a man as Palmer. TrumbulI
or Davis, the Independents cannot name
any one who will not be an Improvement
on a L0gan.-N Y World.

the contrary ground. lie even advocates
the complete secularization of the public

The New York Herald, unintentionally
perhaps, does an injustice to Gov. Hen
bricks when it says: when Gov. Hen
bricks was expecting the nomination for
president he had larger number of
friends than he has now" This is wide of
the fact. Gov, Hendricks has more po-
litical and personal friends than he ever
had. If it had been thought that MIR.
Hendricks could have carried New York
III the campaign, no man in all theIcountry
could have wrested the nomination from
him in tle st. Louis convention. He was
so we'll known, aud stood so high in the
esteem OF the Democracy of the nation,
that strong general feeling pointed to
him as the man for the first position, which
only yielded to the necessities of the situa-
ton. The manner in which he yielded,
with so graceful an obedience to the public
exigencies, cannotand will not be forgotten
when the time comes round to remember
it with propriety aud force. Men feel this
who we're not Hendricks men at st. Louis,
but became SO at that time.-N. Louis

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is 50 comm

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic

edge tools aud agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects bis
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
