The latest queer production of Massachusetts is

eighth months an inmate Of the Northampton jail
because OF his conscientious objections to paying
poll tax. He made II Chrstmas publication of his
platform, which is the sacred principle of self.
sovereignty" He accepted this truth with all
that 1t Implies in 1873 and proclaimed himself in
dependent of Minnesota the United States, Great
britain or any other foreign power" III

test but III 1873 decided that his conscience would
not allow him to pay an Unconstitutional tax, and
he decided 10 resist and TO 80 into history with
Abby Smith and her cows. He Is poor enough 10
escape the tax by taking the poor debtors oath,
but as he H. contcnding for human rights he feels
that II would violate his principles to dodge
tho issue ON the ground Of poverty. He was
arrested in April last and has had free board and
lodging since, although the district attorney Is I'M.
certain whether the board bill must be charged 10
him or to the town. As the citizens of Belcher.
town have voted to keep him in jail until his tax
and costs are paid II seems that he IL quartercd for
life ON the town, unless he goes back on his princi-
PIES or the people of the town think IL cheaper TO
remit his two-dollar fine than to support him for
life.
