Famine in Morocco.

Private advices from Morocco give fear
full accounts of the famine there Living
skeletons of men, women, and children
may be seen cropping in foul refuse heaps
for hideous bits OF otfal. Poor, starving
wretches are constantly scratching and
sitting sand, dust, and mud, in the hope
of finding stray grains Of rice or barley.
Beggars swarm in the streets, corpses are
everywhere seen, and among the poor,
who huddle together. smallpox is raging.
Sick, well, and dead are seen lying to-
gether in foul, 1etid dens.

Suicide Is an hereditary disease in
many families in Germany; its frequency
is in part attributed to the vicious system
of intermarriage among near relations,
MANY uncles and nieces, aunts and neph-
ews marrying merely TO keep property or

Friday evening of the 9th inst. as
Mrs. Daniel, wife of John NJ. Daniel,
was seated in her buggy awaiting her
attendant, who was standing near,
engaged in conversation with a friend,
the animal attached to the buggy
suddenly became frightened and
bounding forward dashed down the
road at a fearful rate of speed. Mrs.
Daniel happily retained her presence
of mind and managed to keep the
horse in the road and finally by Sc
we're exertion succeeded in stopping
him. She then jumped out of the
buggy and seizing. the horse by the
bit held him firmly until assistance
reached her. The buggy was scon-
siderably damaged but the lady for
runately sustained no serious injury.
She certainly deserves great credit
for the nerve and bravery which she
displayed on that occasion.

The Rack-Tax Law Decision,
St. Louis Republican, May 18th.

81. Louis hcpnDtlcan, May l4tn.
The back-tax law of 1877, having
run the gauntlet of the circuit courts
without being seriously injured, has
now been subjected to the test of a
review by the supreme court of the
state with like success. When the
law was passed and the enforcement
of it begun, there was a loud cutlery
against it's alleged unconstitutionality
bysdelinquents who have habitually
eyaded payment of their taxes, and
the assertion was confidently made
that when it came up before the
supreme court it would be
thoroughly disposed of. But i.
has come UP before that tribu-
nal and its constitutionality af-
firmcd. The court refuses to pass
upon the. question whether it is in
conflict with the statute oflimitations
or not, as that was not necessarily
before it. Besides, this point only
affects the operation of the act prior
to a certain a end does moi impair
its general efficiency. The chiefpoints
decided are these: That the circuit
court has jurisdiction of back-taX
cases; that the circuit court in such
cases may reuder Judgment at the
first term, and that. although the act
is Retrospective in some of its provis-
ions, it is not, for this reason, uncon-
stitutional, since its retrospective
agencies are merelydifferent remedies
for what already cxisted-diflerent
methods of doing what the state had
Il right to do before. IL is further
held that trivial informalities, such
as the failure of the sheriff to sell the
delinquent land in its smallest subdi'
visions, does not invalidate a sale.
This final decision establishes thu
back-taX law as q permanent and
very important part of the state''
revenue system. There is no choice
but to obey it. llabitual dclinquents

Last Monday morning, a a west
bound freight train was passing over
the st. Louis, X. c. & N. R.. r. at a
point eight miles west Of Mexico, the
engine suddenly ran upon q small
zinc box which had been placed on
the ratings and a terrific explosion
instantly occurred. The report was
heard for miles around and the e n
gIne windows must have been shat
tered by the conclusion. Upon ex-
animation it was ascertained that the
box had been heavily charged with
dynamite, and must have been the
'.'infernal machine" of some infamous
design though it is quite probable
that some mischievous tramp or. boy
thoughtlessly deposited it on the
track.

There can be no doubt

will go on. There can be no-donbt
about that.
During this speech, in controversy
as to the political complexion of the
Philadelphia Telegraph, Mr.. Weaver
said, it would take q ten thousand
magnifying power glass to tell the
difference between a hard-money
Democrat and a hard-money Repub-
ican. And when Mr.. Haskill asked
for the difference between q soft
money Democrat and a Grcenbacker,
Mr.. Weaver replied that there was no
difference beyond that of organiza-

in New York. All this shows THAI
there are indications of reaction in
the Grant boom. The great rsviving
element of faith in the Strong man had
its origin in the hope that the circum-
navigator of the world had learned
something in his travels about the
methods and agents fit to be employ
ed in government and that he
would not again repose confidence in
unworthy ones. Agreat deal then of
Grants availability necessarily de-
ponds upon those that shall gain pos
session of him eventually If the movers
for committees of PERCEPTION accomplish
tina. as most probably they will, he
win be re-introduced into the politi
cal arena in very questionable com
pany and opposition to his candidacy
will be strengthened and crystalizcd.
Aware eff this Mr.. Sherman's
friends and the managers of certain
papers that have not expressed admi-
ration for Grant are rescrting to every
means of making the former the
prominent man against the latter.
Mr.. Sherman may feel that he runs
some risk in yielding to solicitations
and in stepping down and out of the
treasury as must be done in case he
is elected governor of Ohio, but no
man can aspire to be President with
out taking some chances, and no one
knows better than Mr.. Sherman, that
in the event of his being disappointed
in regard to the chief magistracy, the
governorship will be the best stepping
stone to the Senate.
There is undoubtedly great breadth
to the scheme of Mr.. Sherman's
friends. Of course it cannot be ex'
pected however that that gentleman
will take a prominent part in it unit
that shall have been forced upon him
1t is not that Mr.. Sherman wants thu
office of governor, but that something
must be done to re-unite. and reani
mate the Republican party in Ohio
and that its leaders consider Sherman
the most likely to accomplish what
80 important and so necessary il
prolonging Republican rule.
If Mr.. Sherman really desires tn
position of governor he has acted wit
great foresight in keeping himself i
the back ground until Garfield over
threw his chances for the Senate b
his late talk in the House. Mr.. Sher
man has also remained quiet until tn
strong and weak points of the Obi
campaign revealed themselves an
rendered it possible for him withou
giving offence to his friends, who i
truth have been more highly reward
ed than any except the re~turnin
board patriots, to take complete an
dictatorial possession Of his party
few weeks before the meeting of 1t
convention.
There is some talk of pitting Sens
tor Thurman against Sherman if he
nominated.

ing his family and a few select friends
returned last Wednesday from a pro-
tracted fishing excursion on the Mis-

quarters at Columbia and fished on

Boonville. Mr.. Daniel says they had
splendid luck and succeeded in land
ing several immense specimens of the

to be in a fourishing condition, and

was subjected to much interruption
and finally refused 10 yield tie floor
TO any one, saving he was willing to
answer gentlemen, one at a TIM, but
did not wish to encounter a whole
syndicate at once. Mr.. Weaver also
denounced national banking, which
he said was q Legislative monstrosity
He then passed to the consideration
of the resumption act, which he char
acterized as another link in the trinity
of infamies, that had been fastened
upon the American people. AS to
silver reconciliation, after the man
now travelling abroad (Gen. Grant,
had written a letter from Smyrna, a
conspiracy had been entered into at
New York against receiving silver,
except on the condition that it was to
be paid back in kind. There had
been q good deal Of talk about revo.
luton, but as an ex-soldier, who had
fought against that man, he II ust say
that his advice to the, American peo-
pie to resist a constitutionally passed

amounted to revolution of the highest

that, but the Secretary of the Treas.
ury had struck hands with Wall and
Lombard streets. AT a proper time
he would offer an amendmant direct
ing the treasurer pay out silver with.

Weaver denied that the Greenbaek
party was a party of imitation. II
favored gold and silver, as well as
legal tenders, but wanted government
to supply all the money that was
needed. 1t was not favorable to wild
schemes. The gentleman from Indl,

JEFFERSON CITY.
THE STATE INANc

May 6: An important meeting of
Democratic Senators was held to-
night, to take into consideration the
finances of the state. Senator Morii-
son stated that the revenue fund re-
ceipts for the next two years would
be about 81, 774, 900, while the APP
preparations already made would
amount to So, PA, 600. The Senator
Thought a one dollar poll tax would
yield $500, 900 for the first and $780,
900 for the second year, and thus pro-
vide for $3.50, 900 of the deficiency.
Lieutenant Gov. Brockmeyer made a
speech discountenancing all indirect
taxation, and expressing himself in
favor of the legislatures coming up
squarely to its work.
Auditor Holiday being called
upon endorsed Senator Morrison's
statement and in answer to Senator
Major, stated that Senator Cockrell
had introduced a bill which became
law in January or February, TO re-
imburse the state for militia expendi-
lures, appropriating about $500, 900,
but which might take a year or two
to collect.
Mr.. holland, chief clerk of the state
treasurer, said that in his opinion
the receipts into the revenue fund FOL
the next two years would be ample tG
meet demands upon it and that hence
the present alarm was uncalled for
He estimated receipts from ordinary
taxes at S2,2l6,0 900, from license:
$3.50, 900, FROM miscellaneous 1872,
900 which with balance on hand OF
the 1st OF January last of 1920, 900
would give a total of 1893, 900, anC
deducting appropriations and schoo
funds together 81, 1853, 600, woult
leave a balance of $40, 900 in tn
treasury on January l, 1881. TIi
