The Democrat sagely concludes that
the REPUBLICAN is trying to impose
xpon the people by showing up the
extravaganza of the City Council in
lesying a $4,000 tax Our neighbor
misapprehends our motive entirely.
We have simply pointed out facts for
their consideration, showing what an
expensive luxury the Democratic
Union League party is. We have
proven by official figures that the peo-
pie are paying heavy premium, in
unnecessarily oppressive taxation, for
Democratic Union League rule. If
the Democrat does not like the figures
we cannot help it. We did net make
them-we only reproduce them from
the records as made by Democratic
officials. and are not responsible for the
unsavory and damaging facts they
prove against the dominant party.
The Democrat has our sympathy.
Beyond that We have nothing to offer it.

CAPITAL STOCK AssEssMENTs.

The Bloomington Leader pubiishes
senate bill ia, relating to assessment Of
capital stock of corporations, and then
says of it: f' ''i''| ..t'
"This is one OF the most important
bills which has been before the legisla-
ture at its present session. It Is claimed
by certain corporations that, owing 10 q
misapprehension of the correct meaning
of certain sections OF the revenue law OF
1873, unjust and excessive valuations
were assessed upon the capital stock OF
| Incorporated companies doing business
In the state for the years 1873, 1874 and
1875, whereby the aggregate assessments
| were, in many cases, Increased one
hundred per cent, and In some
cases more than one hundred per
cent. This excessive taxation was re-
s;S'"n rs. 81: ,: se., a. nnd large
The object OF this bill is to give the State
board of equalization the power to revise
these assessments, and whatever injus-
tice shall appear. to have been done, to
to make such reductions as, I'm tho onrn-
| ION OF the board, are just and equitable
| to the companies Of the state. We can
see no reason why the bill is not coed
one. II injustice has been done, it Is
right and proper that corrections should
be made. 1t is not likely that the board
will abuse its power, and settle
ment arrived at, in the way pro-
posed, will undoubtedly give salts
faction to the companies interested,
and result in the prompt payment, to
the state. of the taxes that are justly
due. The assessments for the years
named were manifestly erroneous, and 1t
is no more than right that an opportu-
nifty should be given to correct any mis-
takes that may have been made. The
state only demands fair and equitable
assessment, and any excessive or unjust
valuation, In the case of corporations,
would be just as wrongful as it would be
| in the case of individuals. We hope the
bill will pass. and that cur representatives
will give their support to measure
which is so manifestly just and proper.

TINE NEW ORLEANS COLLECTOR
SHlP.

The appointment Of Judge King to be
collector of the port of New Orleans,
was, If Radical paperssat the North
are to be taken as authority, only an
other act in the programme 10 carry out
HAYES Southern rolicy. The Packard
supreme court, OF which King was a
member. was stumbling block in
the way that had to be
removed hefore the president could see
his way clear after once having recog.
nized Nichols as governor of Louisiana.
A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Gil
sette writing from Washington saws
The Packard supreme court
has always been considered
by the president the great
difficulty in the Louisiana case. The
best lawyers here, including Secretary
'Eyarts, are of the opinion, as an abstract
proposition, that the legality and con-
'stituuonality of the Packard supreMe
court, appointed by Kellogg, was be-
'yond controversy" The president was
fearful that should the rival courts re-
main in existence until a legal issue
could be made before the United
States supreme court as to which was
the valid tribunal, the decision would
be in favor Of the Packard court. The
president, anxious to obviate even the
possibility Of a contest before the su.
preme court. decided to get the judges of
the Packard court out OF the way. The
supreme court Of Louisiana, under the
constitution OF the state should be
composed OF five members, but
Kellogg, during whose term as governor
the supreme court was recognized, re.
fused to appoint more than three mem.
bers-John E. King, Leonard and Ludel.
Ing. These three constituted
quorum. Without the attend
ance OF all three Of the judges the cour
could not transact business, and In eff.
iect had no existence. OF course the
two vacant seats In the court can never
be 'hiled, since even If Packard, assum-
ing 10 De governor, should nominate
them. he woula have no senate that
"ouid conhrm them. Thus 1t will be-
seen that the abandonment OF the court
by either Of the three judges virtual.

claimed his seat in congress, .and the
court, with a constitutional quorum,
would have ..made an issue before the Uni
ted States suprems court. TO prevent such
an issue being made 1t was necessary to
induce one member Of the court to aban'
don It, and thus leave 1t without quo
rum. KING accepted the collectorship
the court has no quorum, and. without
quorum no existance. The appointment
of King solves the difficulties which be-
set Hayes, and lie has no more fear o.
| the rival courts in Louisiana.
