ceeds of the mines" perhaps it would be we'll
wisdom of taxing that parasitic drain upon
our industry, namely, "The Net Profits of
the Railroads"
The encouragement of immigration caused
by our heavy rate Of taxation, direct and in
direct, was referred to as in itself a tax most
grievous to be born and highly detrimental
to our interests.
The attention of the Legislature being
directed to these matters, the imperative need
for general reduction not only in the meas
ure of direct but indirect taxation was as
serted with emphasis. OF course this means,
that while are cutting down the rate of
laid by the Assessor and collected by the tax
gatherer, it behooves us to take such steps as
shall curtail the alarming proportions of vice
and crime as these phases of human society
are presented to us. Also it follows that
while We are thus progressing toward gen
eral alienation from the weight of our bur
den. the excessive and heavily bearing weight
of the Transportation Tax is to be taken into
serious consideration. The distressful cry of
an oppressed people whose industries and en-
terprises languish under the tariff maintained
by the railroads, must be needed. Every
man Of every party is under pledge to help
tighten these burden; and all men in public
life, irrespective of party, should lend their
aid toward the end desired.
This, then, is the lecturers discourse the
diminunition, by timely and proper means, of
crime; the promotion of education and
morals-as 'busness" proposition stricter
accountability exacted of the railroads !;
schedules of freights publicly and generally
distributed; positive and immediate sup
preston of the prevailing iniquitous practice
of determinations and a. wholesome curbing
of the imperous and disdainful corporations
who for 30 many years have treated with con-
tempt the statute demanding yearly exhibit
of their receipts, expenditures and dividends.
Also the preposterously low rate Of assess
ments laid upon the tracks and other proper
ties of the railroad companies was dilated
that while the State exacts of the mining
companies quarterly exhibit of their trans
actions with view to taxing their profits, the
railroads, which are merely parasites upon the
chief industry of the State, are allowed to
disregard, altogether, that section of the
general railroad law which requires of them
yearly exhibit of their business affairs, for
public information, merely.
The'lecture, as Mr.. Mighels oandidly ad
nits, is replete with cruditles, aud IN all
probability contains many inaccuracies; but,
,s ne claims the general drift of the discourse
Is in the direction of much needed reforms.
The ''moral' of the lecture may be stated in
the expression Lot act about the task of
tightening all the nuulrns whjCh rest upon
our State, weighing down ia industries and
demoralizing its every class of society with
grievous and almost insupportable load of
crime and extortion, to the end that the
Commonwealth may maintain condition of
equality with its most favored sisters of the
Republic"

THE Republican Senate of Maine last
week elected Alexander Garcelon,
Democrat, Governor of that State.
The Constitution of Maine provides
III effect that if no candidate for gov
ernor receives a majority of the popu-
lar vote over all, the House of Rep
resentatives must present to the Sen
ate the names of two men from among
the candidates voted for by the peo-
pie. one of whom shall be by that body
designated as Governor. The Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers combined con-
stitute a majority in the House and
that body presented to the Senate the
names of GarcelOn, Democrat, and
Smith, Greenbacker; the Senate is Re-
publican and being compelled to choose
between two evils chose the least and
elected Garcelon because of his con-
victjous IN favor of honest money,
though the popular vote cast for HIM
was the least of that given to any can
didate. The result shows that the
Democrats combined with the Green
hackers in the House to secure the
nomination of their candidate and
with the Republicans in the Senate to
secure his election.

RESUMPTION is a fixed fact--has been
for week, and the country has not
gone to the d--dogs yet. The second
day of resumption the gold paid out
at the New York sub-treasury for le-
gal-tenders was $4,000. and the
amount of gold, taken in exchange fol-
legal tender notes was $500, 900, "a net
increase of gold in the treasury OF
$I20, 900 for that day. Business men
and banks have for months been en-
gagged in setting their houses in order
for resumption ana when the time
came for resumption it took place
without a perceptible jar, reminding
many of the trite saying of Horace
Greeley, the philosopher of the New
York Tribune, when he remarked,
'.the way to resume is to resume.

SENATE.


In the Senate but thirty-two men,
bers took their seats, Hon. Charles IL.
Phillips, of Lake Mills, Jefferson coun-
ty, Senator elect from the Twenty
third District, having died on We'd
nesdaY, the 1st inst; of this number
% are Republicans and 8 are Demo
Gratis; H. S. Sacket, of the 9th Dis
trict, is the Youngest and G. Van
Steenwyk, of the 3lst District, is the
oldest-the former being 35 years of
age and the latter IS; all but four of
the gentlemen constituting this body
have had previous legislative expert
ence ranging from one to eight years;
not one of them is a native of Wiscon-
sin, and nine are foreign born; six are
farmers, six are manufacturers, five
are lawyers, three are physicians, the
balance being classed among the differ
ent trades and professions; six of the
Senators reside in this Congressional
District-all of whom are Republicans.
Mr.. Phillips, whose death we have
noted above, was farmer and Re.
publican; the District which he was
chosen to represent is Democratic--lo
cal interests and the personal popular
ity of the candidate operating to secure
the election of Mr.. Phillips, and it is
very likely that the gentleman whC
will be elected to fill the vacancy oc
casioned by his death is a Democrat
in which case there will be gain Of
one for the opposition over figures
heretofore given.
