Falsely Accusing.
Toledo Blade.1


China, though semi barbarous nation,
has one law which is ahead of anything
pertaining to the same subject that we
have in this country.
Here person may be hastily and false
ly accused of crime, deprived Of his lib
erty until the hour of trial comes, AMI if
found innocent, he has no redress what
ever The loss Of time, the shame and
disgrace of the accusation which has been
trumpeted all over the land through the
press, go for nothing. His accuscr, who
may have been aCtuated by anger, or,
though honest in his suspicion, yet has
such slight grounds for it, that it is not
hard to prove innocence, does not suffer
for his haste or malice.
That there are numerous instances OF
suffering through false accusation no one
can doubt who reads the papers with an
eye to ascertaining the facts.
Not long since a young man in New
York was accused OF stealing $50 from
a sailor, and was hauled up in court AZ.
forwards the washerwoman for the sailor
found the bill among his clothes. or
course the young man was discharged,
but he had endured the modification Of
being brought before the public in the
character of thief, and for this there is
absolutely no redress in any form.
In China, on the contrary, the person
who brings false charge receives the
same punishment as the accused would
have had if proven guilty. This renders
an individual exceedingly careful of how
he charges crime upon another. The
grounds of his proceeding must be care
fully examined before he goes to the
leng Of placing any one in the hands of
the law. OF course this caution may
sometimes operate in allowing the guilty
to escape, but it at least prevents injury
to the innocent.

Spirit Of the German Papers.

The Republican County Convention
meets to-day. The Convention will be
after the example of the one held last
spring by the Democrats with such success.
1t will demonstrate whether in the end the
tricks and knaveries of the ward politicians
will be frustrated by big Conventions,
especially if day intervenes between the
primaries and the Convention. 1t is de-
sired in the interest of the public that
good ticket be nominated. Thereby it
would force the Democratic Convention to
do the same. The Independent voter would
then not find it hard to select from the
material on hand and elect able and trust
worthy officers.

The very latest from Sitting Bull re-

however, Gen. Miles will probably weigh

A poor, ragged lad came to a raggei
school in Ireland-a miserable little Arab
Of the streets, with scarcely trace of the
child in his face. One day, however, he
appeared radiant in new suit of clothes.

IT seems to be the fate Of this genera
ZION to be stonished-startled by new
inventions The telephone, the phono-
graph, electric light, duplex telegraphy,
pod-liver oil, canned baked beans and
goldfish balls would seem 10 leave no other
Geld for human genius to plow or harrow
over. But NJ. D'Arlingcourt, of Paris,
has invented an autographic telegraphy,
BY means of which a communication can
be sent in the handwriting of the author.
The invention is described as
an Extremely ingenious synchron-
pus movement" and thus loaded
aown with heavy words might
veil discourage further investigation,
but the invention is none the less of
value. The message to be sent is writ
ZEN with a prepared ink on strip of
netallic-faced paper about twelve inches
long and two and one-half inches wide.
This is wrapped around the cylinder of
the handwriting instrument. AT the
receiving instrument strip of white
paper, chemically prepared, receives the
Axset autographic message. The mes

The Khedive has been retired on a
handsome pension, and England guaran-

Great Britain run his country. 1t would

the monarchs of the old world and let
them repose in peace and solitude upon
Government appropriations.

way, is improbable-for their representa-

In the defalcation of Mr.. Waldron,
Tax Collector at North Adams, Mass, to
the tune of 100000, which has just
been reported, people are led to reflect
somewhat over Massachusetts morals.
Mr. Waldron was esteemed to be pious
and conscientious citizen up to the dis
rovery of this little eccentricity the other
day. The question is whether her sever
by of morals on some questions may not
be puckered so tight as to produce a
losseness in another direction, where
Rabbiness is quite as deleterious to a
lound code of ethics. In view of this
and other irregularities, therefore, it is
we'll enough to consider whether the law
f compensation, when forced aside in
pne direction, does not swing just as Ear
khe other, whether the experiment is
tried in the staid old State of the Puri-
tans or elsewhere.

THE CnUPON-CLIPPERS.

Gov. Porter in speaking of the as
seasment of property values in Ten
nessee, says: "Real estate pays the
largest part of the revenue; 1t can be
reached at all times-nO evasions can
conceal it. Justice to the landowner
demands that the holder of personal
ty should be made TO bear his
part of the public burden" Since
1877 the assessed value of real estate
in Tennessee hos decreased Si3,695 90.
IN 1875 personal property in the State
Vas assessed ut $50, 23l 900 90, and
for 1873 at $40, 81 1888 90. Thus it
l. seen that the shrinknge i'll the value
of personally is out Of all proportion
10 that in realty. While the farmer
il taxed upon his cattle and the MGR
chant upon his dry goods, yet the
millions Of dollars hid away in National
State and Corporation bonds in the
Stale are dignifed by total exemp-
tom from taxation. This is one-sidcd
and unjust discrimination. 1t has
forced capitalists to withdraw money
from active enterprises and sink it in
coupon bonds. Hence the compare

manufacturing districts, The untaxed

THE BELL PINCH.

Comptroller Gaines recommends
the adoption of the Moffett bell punch
in this State rs a source of revenue.
The report of Auditor Taylor to the
Legislature of Virginia gives a flatter-
ing exhibit Of the recommending
qualities of this novel contrivance.
The old liquor law in Virginia annually
realized $40, 761, the bell punch has
earned for the State in one year $685.
583.
In order to avoid fraud and have
uniformity in the taxation of drinks he
urges an advalorcm tax upon each
drink, whether it be alcoholic or malt,
making the value of the drink the unit
of basis of taxation. Thus: upon all
drinks from value of five cents each
UP to ten cents, q tax of half cent ;
upon a ten cent drink, one cent upon
all drinks of a value over ten cents
and up to fifteen cents, cent and q
half.
The Tennessee Legislature will con.
slider this or some similar measure
that our Treasury may reap a harvest
OF gain from the drinking habits of the
people.

Blue Jeans Williams, Governor
of Indiana, in his message to the
Legislature, referring to State fl
nance says:
The last legislature reduced the
State tax from thirteen to twelve
cents on the one hundred dollars.
The proceeds Of that levy, with
delinquent taxes otherwise col
lected and amounts reimbursed
by counties and received from
prison contractors, have been
sufficient to defray the expenses
of the several departments and
institutions in whose favor appro-
priations were made, | trust the
same amount will be sufficient to
pay the expenses for the next
two years. 1t is not the State
taxes but the county and town
ship taxes and fees Of officers that
Cypress the people. They are double
and, IN many instances, three times that
of the State.
