Taxing Dehue

A reform In the TAX system is beir q
discussed In Illinois, and among other
changes proposed Is that OF exemptinR
mortgages and other forms of public and
private Indebtedness. The municipaI
debts in Illinois, including the bonds of
counties, cities, towns and school DIS
tricts, amount to $52.O0O,0O0. The Chica-
60 Tribune estimates the individual In.
debtedness, secured by mortgages at
$500, ,0O0, ,0O0-the two together making
1852 ,o00,0 600 If we take the assessed
valuation of taxable property in the
State at 100000, ,OOU, the membranes
on it amount to one-half it's value. But
the revenue law assumes that every in
strument of indebtedness Is q new item
Of wealsh-that every mortgage on q
farm is new value created and by thi.
fiction it augments $3.50, ,OOO, 600 of wealtf
in the State to 500, ,OOO, 600 for taxabl.
purposes.
But it is argued that while bonds

Maryland Penitentiary.

Tba annual report OF the Directors of
the Maryland Peuitehtiary,is document
worthy of study. The institution is self
pporiing. After paying all debts and
expenses there is a surplus this year of
S6,538 80, Anew wing or dol m tory, has
been constructed to the prison daring the
year with accommodate ions for 2i6 in
mates, at the cost of only about 500 per
cell. The labor on this building was
mostly performed by prison inmates and
the economy of construction compares
curiously with that of the House of Cor
rection, which cost 81 900 for every in
mate which it is able to maintain. A Gu
rous feature Of the report is that
which relates to The feeding and clothing
OF the prisoners. 1t is asser ed that IL
only costs So per year to clothe each
prisoner and emily $s2 per capita to feed
them. That human beings can be main.
tanned in this country at a cost of orly
sixty cents week, or nine cents a day
seems almost incomprehensibie. w.
seem to be reaching Chinese basis it'll
great rapidity. Of course the woi king
men in the prison must have nutrition
and generous food, Tie bringing of tn
cost of living to such low average onl,
shows what can be done by thorough syn
tenn and perfect economy.-Balt. Gazette

AMERICAN LADIES AS DIPLOMA
lists The Press says, It is singular
fact that fifteen of the ladies connec ed
with the present Diplomatic Corps at
Washington are American girls whose
beauty and diplomacy captured distin-
guished husbands. Among the sumber
are wives of the French, Italian, Guate-
malian, and Turkish Ministers, and many
others Of lesser iank, including Mrs.
Yung Wing, of the Chinese Legati' n,
who was a Miss Bartlett, Of Come cticut.
In the Diplomatic Corps Of Europe there
are also several American ladies, such as
the wife Of the Italian Minister to Hague
aud others. Whether American women
have peculiar penchdnt for diplomacy,
or diplomatists for them, is a difficult
question to decide. At all events, dip O.
macy is q career for which our women
seem admirably adapted. They have al
so broken dOwa the exclusiveness OF
hereditary aristocracy, and some Of hem
are connected with the Oldest noble fami-
lies of England and the Continent.
Proverb,al as is their beauty, their natu-
Ial grace and dignity Of manner aud their
intelligence are no less striking.

Gald aud silver.

Wells, Fargo & Co.'s state ement, shows
that the metallic products. oG our great
mining regions on the Pacific side Of the
continent reach the sum Of eighty-one
million dollars for 1873, which is hand
some crop. But this Is more than seven
teen millions less than what was pro-
duced from the same sources In 1877,
which difference has by Some been hasti-
ly attributed to the exhaustion Of some
of the great lodes, and by others has been
more nationally accounted for on grounds
less likely to disturb the even temper Of
stockholders.

"SHoDDY" had fine time yesterday.
The club honses were in full blast, and
cabs were employed to run their men,
bers from house to house until the health
of all was quaffed /; and even night did
not seem to put an end to the rollicking.
Many head, however, will pay the
penalty to-day in aches that will even
rend the feelings until regrets and fears
may terminate in heartaches as well.--
Those who "received" with "coffee and
cake," however humble these may seem,
will escape the pain at least, If they did
not enjoy quite so strong flow Of spirits.

The Democratic ring of the silver dol
lar is not liked by the gold gamblers.
The silver dollar is now in greater de-
msnd than the gold dollar. 1t would
not be believed at the time, but 1t WAS a
fact eveItht less that the newspapers that
were constantly saying the silver dollar
would OF circulate, knew that tie Secre-
tary would not pay out the legal-tendel
silver dollar. He forced into the hands
of the peop'e by the aid of these papers
and the gold gamblers, the trade dollar
which he now refuses to take for the le
gal-tender silver dollar.

IT WOULD SEEM that some Of the
Democratic papers begin to think Senator

and they draw their inference from the
