The Constitutional Convention
Will have mrny il rest ng problems
to solve, MI of them looking to the
relief Of the tax busdenea people of
the State. This relief nust he pep
aaaaent, not merely temporary. The
hope of the masses is that the work
Of the Convention will last Mt least
a generation. 1t can not he better
begun than by laying down MS Il
basis for the new governmental
structure to be reared, the principle
that the rate of taxa,iun for ali pur-
poses shall never exceed five mills.
Having established this principle,
the delegates wuuid find their DIRK
much simElified. and what appeared
to be very knotty problem one
easily determined. The people can
afford to pay tax rate of Eve mills
or less and pay promptly. When it
exceeds that figure there will neces-
sarily be numerous delinqnencies,
the State treasury will be empty.
and the government will become
more or less embarrassed. Aud
what is worse, the honest taxpayer
will he compelled 10 bear, as now,
the burden of the drl;n lqepces. A
five mill tax gonld pot only afford
the measure of relief demanded, but
would, by enforcing economy. pre-
vent the State Government from
falling into the position of confusion
and financial embarrassment in
which it now finds itself.-Nelc Or

Hunting the Adjective.
[Fortnightly Review.l

t@O'"ii6"uy ASNiOWtJ
Unlike many other men Of letters,
Gautier was constantly reading. M. Ber.
gerat tells us that when he was not talk
ing, eating, Or writing he was always
reading, and that nothing came amiss to
him down to mere scraps and waits of
printed waste paper. The progress of his
fatal illness was marked by nothing SO
much as by the cessation Of this invete-
rate habit. These miscellaneous readings
were undoubtedly part of the great "ad-
jective-hunt," as he was wont to phrase
it. His copia verborum was thus con-
stantly fed and increased, while at the
same time his unceasing practice in writ
ing made the store one of constantly cir
culating capital, and not mere useless
accumulation. -.....t....... .4H s.
There never seems to have been time
when even the most minute question of
literary practice, rhyme-hunt or the
like, had not vivid interest for him.
Thus, his occupation, however lie might
occasionally groan at and complain Of it,
was in practice an unfailing source Of
pleasure, of relief from ennui of alterna-
tives from safeguarding cares. It was a
strong tower which successfully kept out
the enemy, until sheer physical collapse
ceased to make it any longer defensible.
On the other hand, it would be difficult
to find in Lever any trace of love for or
interest in his art as an art 1t seems to
have been always means to an end, or
rather to half a hundred different ends,
pursued with less or more zest for the
time, but rarely falling in with any pos
sible or coherent plan of life. -1,4
Though he was man of letters, his
interests were nothing so little as literary.
The widest absurdities of the Jeunes-,
France and the Bousingots were somehow
or other connected with literary ques-
tions. Levers youthful escapades and
latter dissipation had nothing to do with
literature at all, and might have been
and were shared in by persons Of no taste
or interest in literature whatever. There
is famous sentence of Thackeray which
has sometimes excited good deal of sur
prise. ''No class of men talk of books or,
as rule, read, books 50 little as literary
men," 1t is not true of England now
perhaps, but it was certainly true of
England then.
