The system of taxing railway COM
panies in this State has recently re-
ceived handsome compliment at the
hands of committee of Railroad
Commissioners consisting of Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., of Massachusetts,,
J. II. OberIy, of Illinois, and w. ID.
Williams, of Michigan. The systems
in vogue in different countries and
States were subjected to a careful
scrutiny by the committee above NAM
ed and their verdict is that the Wis
consin system is especially commend
able. All the conditions requisite for
a proper taxation of railway companies
as laid down by this committee are to
be found in the Wisconsin system and
are substantially as follows: "a tax
on the gross receipts of first-class
roads; tax partly on the gross re-
ceipts and partly on the track per
mile of lower classes of roads, and a
tax simply on the track per mile OF
the roads which barely OF hardly meet
running expenses. These taxes are
exclusive of all others on exclusively
railroad property; but other real prop
erty owned by the roads for their con
venience and profit outside of running
the trains, are taxed like private prop
erty."

the satisfaction of knowing that their
families would be left in much more
comfortable circumstances.

UNREDEEMED.

The back pay grab and other causes
for disgust on the part of the people,
together with loud protestatlons of re-
form if placed in power, secured to the
Democratic party control of the House
of Representatives in 1875; though
that party inaugurated no measure of
reform during the succeeding two years,
its lease was renewed i'll 1877 and
again in 1879, when the Senate also
passed under its management, and
during session of over three months
that it has had majority in both
branches of Congress it has redeemed
none of its promises, while the nation S
financial honor has been maintained
by the Republican party in spite of its
political adversaries. Ignoring its
promises of economy and reform when
it should secure control of Congress
the Democratic party as represented
in that body has during the past three
months been industriously engaged in
an effort to establish the right of
States to ignore our existence as a ma

the extra session by voting bonus OF
an extra months pay to congressional
clerks who receive annual salaries OF
from two to three thousand dollars
and who will have nothing whatever

OSE of the singular results of the
efforts OF Democratic Congressman to
render the army as inefficient as may
be is illustrated by the following ex-
tract from a Washington dispatch:
1.-The Indian department announces
that seven hundred horses have been
run off by white men from the Red
Cloud agency, and the military author
tiles cannot interfere on account of
the posse comitdtus law of last year,
although the stolen horses are driven
past camps Sheridan and Robinson.
IL view of the fact that the Green
hackers have ticket and platform
the Milwaukee Telegraph suggests
that 1T is a good time for democrats
to get back upon honest ground, and
if they are wise they will improve the
opportunity. This suggestion is
from Tilden hard money democrat
who wants nothing to do with the
Greenbackers.

A MUSICAL sOEREE,

II was our good fortune and special favor TO
be invited to be present yesterday evening at d
musical soires given by the pupils of Miss
Aimee Augustin. 1t was but fete de familta
yet there was enough heard to demonstrate
what care and talented tuition can do in the
way of musical education. The programme
was graduated. We may say. with true musical
foresight. A child about eight years old opened
the feast with selection from La Molinara:" !"
then young lady Just entering her teens
showed much nativs talent and lnciplent art In
her execution Of y mOrcealtL from the opera Of
CHARLES VI After this the others In success
sion. always improving on each other. showed
how. year by year, constant and Intelligent
tuition gradually adds the supreme power OF
art to the charms of native talent. The soiree
eliminated with a brilliant diHplay on the plano
by tho talented professor. who rendered lie
hoi des Aulnes" OF Listz with superior taste
and talent.
We will long remember this evening party as
O time of pleasure,a q lesson and moral. It
was living examplaeation Of the progress In
urt which can be acquired by Intelligent study.
It began with the fst faint and uncertain notes
which elild, as 1t were, shutters on the plano,
and gradually ascending in the scale Of art cui-
minated in the powerful expression, on the
well-trainad instrument. Of the harmonious
dream OF tho poetic master Of music.
