Suppose man were to convert all Of
hi' assets into greenbacks, would lie
thereby escape taxation for State county
and city purposes? There isa difference
"i opinion amongst us "mudsills" and
We want your opinion.
Yours truly, G. W.
We presume that greenbacks are not
taxable save by Federal authority any
more than any other class OF government
obligations. Such at least was the deci.
sion in the case Of one Of the proprietors
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer several years
ago. He had several thousand dollars
in greenbacks which he refused to return
and his refusal was sustained by the
United States Court for the Southern Dis
irict Of Ohio.
We have several times referred to the
fact that Chief Justice Marshall, on be-
half OF tho United States Supreme Court
long ago announced that government obli
cations cannot be taxed by any less au
thority than that Of the government
itself. For the reason that the power t.
tax involves the power to dePreciate AM
even destroy the credit Of the goverumen
by any hostile State.

PARIS, Agust 2l.-Gambetta appeared
to-day before the Civil Tribunal Of Zine.
The judge readaeveral passages from lhe
Lille speech, which he said constituted
the offence against President McMahon
and the insult 10 the Ministers. NJ. Gam.
BETA said that he went TO Lille with the
fixed intention 10 deliver u political
speech which the situation rendered nee.
essary, but he protested strongly against
the charge that he designed SANDER or in.

The Government dropped the proceed.
ings against Chardon, Senator for the last

speech at an illegal meeting, because he
claimed parliamentary privilege on the
ground that the Senate having simply

tion.
Transfer Of proceedings against Gam.
betta, from Lille TO Paris, is apparently
due to the discovery by the Government
At the last moment that the ProgreS Du
Hord merely quoted tho speech from the

that the chief charge against Gambetta
will be the exciting hatred between the

The tide still sets against the Russians
everywhere. They have made no pro.
gress in Asia for weeks, and in Europe
not only is their advance checked, but
they have been put on the defensive and
retreat. The operations Of the Turks
thepast six weeks have rather surprised
the world, for, though everybody knew
they had soldiers enough and arms
enough 10 make more Of defense than
they Mt frst offered, there waa general
feeling that national sIugGishneSs would
prevent their assuming the offensive.
The widc.awake commanders who have
Rtrayed from various quarters into the
Ottoman service, however, succeeded in
putting some OF their spirit into the men,
and the rank and file have shown that,
armed with the best American weapons
aud led by good Generals, they are a fair
match for the Russians man to man.
The progress of the invaders has been
checked, and, il the Turks push their
present advantage, it aeema quite posi-.
be, il not likely, that the Russians may
be set back to the Danube.

troubles could benefit the railroads but
thought that they must injure them,
freely made "short sales" The immedi-
ate effect, II Ia true, was TO depress prices,
but the ultimate result was 10 make a
foundation, on which the large advance
since then has, with the assistance Of the
crop news, been reared. II Is true that
the public have taken advantage Of the
rise to sell what makes an enormous ag.
gregate Of real stock, but those who sold
stocks short" have lost heavily.
So long as great blocks Of stocks are
concentrated In the hands Of 3 few heavy
spectators and speculative capitalists,
who, although they have bought the
stocks TO resell at an advance, are never.
theless able by reason OF their capital
and credit to carry them for u long time,
II will be extremely dangerous 10 sell
stocks short" and for the same reason
that it Seemsto be good policy for steady.
going people, who do not care 10 be even
indirectly concerned in Wall street spec.
ulations, to sell what they hold, and
transfer their money 10 something which
neither the mutations Of speculation nor
the freaks oil legislation can affect.
There Ia no doubt that the country as 4
whole is emerging from the depression OF
the last few years, and that the opportu.
mites for safely and proftably employing
money under the personal supervision Of
owners are increasing. The indications
now are that the shrewdeSt Of investors
are already looking up these Opportuni.
ties, and that the drift OF Investment cap.
ital in the next few years will be away
from speculative shares, and that what.
ever Investment money remains in rail-
road securities will be in amply.secured
railroad mortgages.

FIRE RECORD.

ST. LOUIS, August 3l.-A Demo.
crat special from Paris, Texas, says that a
fire broke out about p. NJ. in the City
Saloon and spread rapidly on the east,
west and south sides Of the public square
until ten blocks of business houses and
dwellings were copsumed, including 8
hotels, postoffice, telegraph and express
Offices. The lOss is estimated at from one
to one and one.half million dollars.
Many families are without shelter.
Several lives are reported lost, but only
one body has yet been found. 1t is
said that. n man named Thomas Tay-
lor set fire to the City Saloon by pour
ing oil on the floor and igniting it, with
the remark; ale would burn the damned
town" He was arrested and lodged in
jail. There was but one FIRE engine in the
town, and the water gave out, which left
the city ut The mercy OF the flames. Par
ticulars Of the FIRE are very meagre. No
insurance,

The Russians were badly hurt in the
battle Of Pleyna, but more scared than
hurt. The Generalization that occurred
was something wonderful. Itseems GER
tain that the Turks could have marched
straight 10 the great Russian bridge over
the Danube, doing infinite mischief by
the way, but their old aIuggishness mas.
tered them, They did not attempt to
pursue the panic-stricken Russians, who
began to busy themselves hurrying up
reiniorcements. The Turkish opportu.
nifty did not last long. The Russians
who had been defeated soon recovered
their composure, but the Turks did not
display any capacity to spring forward
and gather the harvest that was ready
for their reaping. The correspondent Of
the London Times says: General
Schakoffski told ME that during the
attack they could see nothing but
the tops Of the Turkish fezzes over
their intrenchments, and that the
Moslems rested their rifles on the para.
pets Of the carthworks, and poured a.
ceaseIess rain .of bullets from their
breech.loaders which no troops in the
world could Withstand. Several times
his men reached the intrenchments and
bSyoneted some Of the Turks inside, but
they could not hold their footing, and had
TO fall back, cut to pieces by the internal
lire, Us the General characterized il. The
Turks were "a iooliSh In not following up
their succesS as the Russians were in
making the attack. Had 0sman Pasha
come out Of his intrenchments and fol.
lowed up the Russians, he might have
turned their repulse into an utter rout,
which might have endangered the pom.
toon bridges at Siatova." The Russians
who were not engaged seem to have been
"a severely shaken as those who failed.
Suddenly the scene changed. The Bul.
g1rian promenade became rhastly al.

the war was over. Grim realities were con.

The funeral services will be held in

where his body will he borne. A prayer
will be previously said at the Lion House.
There will be great assemblage. Extra
trains will be run on all the railroads,
and the saints will come up from all parts
Of the territory within reach. Say what
we may, Brigham Young has retained the
respect and reverence OF the Mormon
people beyond what might he expected,
considering the part he has had to play.
The denomination Of Sunday will show
this. As to his standing in history, ii is
assured that, despite his fanaticism and
greed, Brigham Young will rank among
the great leaders OF the century.

The wealthy spectators who have been

whose purchases have advanced prices,

speculators have large capital and exten.

they are right or wrong in their calcula.

power, for time at least, to successfully
maintain their position against whatever
may come.
1t Is not strange, therefore, that, when
anything occurs which would naturally

The wind and rain storm yesterday
afternoon and last night was by all odds
ahead Of anything we have had for
months. As We write, at half,paSt eleven,
the water is falling in torrents, and If the
storm isEeneral there should be decided
change in the river. We fear that . great
deal Of corn has been blown down and
otherwise damaged. 1t is also feared that
the railroads will be badly washed out.
