time to time know IL TO be false. The facts
are that the Democratic Legislature, the
first after the war, fixed the taxes at $3.50
on 800, r
Under the first Republican Legislature,
when WARMoTH was Governor, this tax
was reduced to $500, and in 1873 Repub-
lican Legislature reduced IL to Sl.55, where
II stands to-day. These are facts, and yet q
majority of the people at the North, and
perhaps in Louisiana, too as to that matter,
doubtless have been made to believe that
Republicans increased instead of diminish
ed the taxes. Indeed, there is gentle
man now in this city from that State, who
claims to be a Republican and to own large
plantation there, who asserts as evidence
that the new policy is working well
that taxes have been reduced fully one
half by the Democracy, without shadow
of foundation for the statement This is
one Of the many falsehoods uttered and
reuttered time and again to bring Republi-
cans into disrepute all over the country.

Taxes In Louisiana.

The false statement is going the rounds
that taxes have been reduced in Louisiana
SINCE the Democracy or White-Leaguers have
got control of that State when nothing
could be further from the truth. The taxes
remain thus far as fixed by Republican
Legislature in 1873 at which time Senator
KELLOGG was Governor. In the same year
the iburdens put upon the State by Demo-
cratic rulers were partly removed in other
respects as, for instance, the commission of
assessors was reduced from five to two per
cent, and other Onerous expenses were
greatly reduced by the same Legislature.
The hue and cry raised every little
while about the people OF that State being
oppressed by ruinous taxes under Republi-
can rule is false in every particular, and

The President has returned the silver bill
with his objections, and thus the question
h settled. Before and since the passage
and submission of the bill to him for his
approval, the President has conversed very
freely on the subject with many people, and
those who have interviewed him have left
the Executive Mansion about equally di-
vided in opinion as to whether he would or
would not sign the bill. He has either been
unfortunate in making his communications
clearly understood by those who have con.
verscd with him, or he has had two views
Of the question, which he has advanced as
occasion and locality might suggest.
But the doubt Is ended. The rea-
sons he has given for withholding
his approval from the measure may be suf-
hcient for him, but they never will be with
the great mass of the American people.
They are the reasons of the money centres
and gold spectators, and bear with them
very strongly the odors of Wall street. 1t
has been intimated that the gold men
have had a hand in the preparation of his
message, but we cannot believe that to be
", for the reason that the independence of
character and good intentions of the Presi-
dent would never tolerate such an interior
snce with his preTogatives.
The House promptly passed the bill over
the veto without debate, by vote of 1856
TO 70, and the Senate by vote 46 to 10. In
the House there were fifty votes and in the
Senate eight votes to spare from two
thirds majority. Eight States, comprising
New England, New York, and New Jersey
voted solid to sustain the veto. Delaware
Maryland, South Carolina, Mississippi, Cali
fornia, and Oregon were divided. Twenty
Two States voted solid against the veto, and
two States each were represented by a
single Senator. In both Houses it is APP
parent that this bill has been contest be-
tween capital and labor, in which the latter
has been the victor under show of great
preponderance in strength. The battle has
been well fought and well determined.

Dying out in the West.

The latest intelligence from the West leads to
the conclusion that the National q reenbsck move
ment is on the decline in that region. Several
causes have steadily contributed to bring about
this decadence. The West realized great har-
vest last year. This has made the farmers hope
full and given them means to meet their obga-
tons. Again, the Greenbsck leaders nave been
constantly advancing their doctrines toward
Communism, so that it has come to such q pass
that no sensible or honest man can MAINTAIN hi.
self respect and q connection with the National
tireenbsck Labor Party at the same time. More
over, there is q growing conviction that the re-
turn to specie basis Is so inevitable that the
question Of an imitation of the currency Is nearly
as dead issue as that respecting the repeal of
the Missouri compromise. Furthermore, people
are learning that the leaders of the initiation
movement are generally disgruntled and hopeless
political bankiupts who grasp at any dslusion
which affords the slightest hope for political
resurrection. These are some of the causes
which have brought abont the decline of the
Greeuback movement in Indiana and other West
err States.
The State Convention of the National, held in
Indiana the past week was sig ifcant failure 10
point of interest, enthusiasm, numbers and char
acter. The mass of the delegates came from
half dozen of ninety counties in this State and
more than a score not represented. The
leaders were cast off hacks of the two old parties
" The Convention" says the Indianapolis Jour
nal, " was almost entirely composed of old men
or men beyond middle age. Among the dele
gates there were scarcely any who appeared to be
under fifty years of age, not to speak of young
men" The same paper further observes;
"On its face it is class movement, and a clap.
trap one at that. II is movement to catch dis
appointed and unsuccessful old men, not bright
intelligent, ambitious young ones. 1t is safe to
say that a majority of the delegates in the con
ceeded in life well they think they ought TO
have done, and who are disposed TO lay the blame
| on the government. or on one or the other of the
political parties of the day. They looked like
men who were trying to repair past misfortunes
| not like men whe were preparing to march to fu
ture victories. They had the appearance and
manner Of men who were dissatisfied with eyery-
hing, themselves included, and who were tryiDp
to rig up some arrangement bv which they cou ID
get even with fate. Successful political move
nents not organized nor parties formed by this
kind Of men. There is lack of blood and es-
pecislly of young blood 10 the language of the
turf, the National movement has neither bottom
nor staying qualities"

Railroading Through the Clouds.

1t is one of the pleasantest brief
jaunts imaginable, to make the trip from
any point on the Denver & Rio Grande
road to Garland and return. 1t can be
made from Denver and return in two
days, leaving Denver i'll the morning
and returning the next evening. From
Colorado Springs it is still more desira-
BILE, leaving the Springs one morning at
ii o'clock, and returning the following
afternoon at four. The time from Canon
City is about the same, while from
Pueblo it is made in halliday either
way. On the round trip one has the
sunset effects ON the ascent of the pass,
and the sunrise on the descent. The
way down is some more thrilling than
the ascent, the train crawling around
the cliff faces, clinging to the rocks, and
as it seems, fairly hanging on to the
willows hunting each little hollow to
its head, then swinging to the right and
balancing gingerly out upon the point
until the ''pilot" peeps over the brink.
and the engine shakes it's cinders into
the gorge below. Between two strata
of clouds the train moves silently and
steadily, and the Spanish Peaks look as
if their base rested upon the cloud line.
The upper clouds are torn and rifted,
and the sun shoots its glowing rays
through and down upon the second
stratum of clouds thousand feet be-
low, penetrating to One-third their depth
and giving them the appearance of a
snow covered plain.-THe Rocky Noun

Transit of Mercury.

A transit of Mercury will occur on the
9Th of May, which is anticipated with
much interest in the astronomical world.
1t will be visible all over the United
States, and will occupy about seven
hours and half in its passage. Tran
sits of Mercury are much more frequent
than those of Venus, the average inter
val being less than ten years. Thus
the coming transit will be followed by
others in 1881 and 1891, while after the
transit of Venus in 1882 none will occur
till 2004. No previous transit of Mer
curry has ever aroused the attention of
observers like the one whose advent is
so soon anticipated, for it is hoped that
it's observation will help in the solution
of several important problems, especial
ly in determining the orbit of Mercury,
in throwing more light on the question
of an intra- Mercurial planet, and in fur
nishing data for renewed estimates OF
the SUMS distance. Astronomers are
already making preparations for the
observation of the phenomenon. Two
French scientists are now on their way
to the West to be in readiness for its
advent. They are sent out officially.
One of them is M. Charles Andre, Di
TGCIOT VI GIlt OUScENdIOIy III GuO " III
versity of Lyons, and the other is M.
Angot, Professor of Physics at the Lycee
Fontanes in Paris. The place of their
destination is Ogden, Utah, and the
locality has been selected for two rea-
sons. 1t is on an elevated ground,
nearly on the "divide" of the continent,
very favorably situated for dryness of
climate and purity of atmosphere, and
the centre of the transit will take place
nearly at local noon.
Mercury is too small to be seen by
the naked eye in its passage across the
sun, but unscientifc observers, who
have access to good telescopes, will
have no difficulty in detecting the pres
ence of the slow moving black spot on
the face of the great luminary, while
they are willing to leave the difficult
and delicate observations and calcula-
tions to practiced eyes and mathemati-
cal brains.--PrOuidence Journal.
