A NEW ORDER.

The other day, after a strapping
young man had sold load Of corn
and potatoes on he market and
had taken his team to a hotel b .rn

it is that the warm summer

the FELlCIANA SENTINEL,
TAXATION NOT EQUAL.

There appears to be- strong
disposition among our business men
to have change in the license sys>
TEN. Tax the cepital invested
they say but let us have no specia
tax. There is no Justice in the
present license system, because it
bears unfairly on the small dealers,
AS we'll say that a landed proprie.
tor must not only pay a tax On the
assured valuation of his real estate
but that he must also pay a special
license for the privilege Of owning
the property. for collecting the
rents, or for trying to make it pro-
ductive. There is just as much
reason in one case as in the other.
About the only justification seems
to be that our fathers have done
this thing.
When a merchont has paid his
tax on capital invested, why should
he pay special license to carry on
that business in which he has this
capital invested. The license dis
tinguishing retail dealer from a
wholesale dealer, does no: meet the
issue, because there are small re-
tail dealers and large retail dealers,
and the same may be said of Who'll .
sale dealers, yet all retail dealers
large or small must pay the same
price ard all wholesale dealers
come under the same licenes of a
wholesale dealer. A bank in New
Orleans with capital of a mllior
dollars would pay no greater Ii
cencse than banI; in the country
with a capital Of fifty thousand
dollars. An exchange broker in
New Orleans selling and buying
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
pays the same license as an ex-
change broker in the country hav-
ing transactions on a much smaller
scale. Is this just, fair and i'm
partial We thing not. Tax the
capital invested in business but
the business tact and the in =.
telligence Of the merchant
should not be taxed, yet this is just
what the licenses does and now it
does it in discriminating way.
II is therefore an impossible, un-
just, unfair, Unequal and discrimi-
mating.
We trust the convention will
consider this important matter to
our business and abolish the license
tax.
Let capital be the basis Of all
taxation, and do not tax a citizen
twice for the same thing.-B. r.
Advocate.

4 SENSIBLE DOG,

Smart dogs. and pcecocious
children are always u bore to
disintercs1ed parties. Only
the delightful owners and pa
rents see the manifold beau
ties Of Their respective possess
sions. The man whose child
says smart things always sends
the sayings to the newspaper,
and DIS it is not printed there
he sends it to Harper's Draws
er, where it duly appears, aud
then he never gets done talk
ing about it. The dog who
can do tricks is just as big a
nuisance, The owner is never
tired Of saying: Now, that
dog knows as much as | do, :
which is no doubt true enough
and yet a very poor compli-
ment TO the dog. That animal
can always perform the most
wonderful things, and. Of
course, his rema kable traits
have to be exhibited. Dance,
cries his master. The dog
immediately extends his paw
oh, yes, says the owner, Che
knows | meant shake hands. $
Shake hands, Ponto,' and
then, Of course, Ponto rolls
over and his master makes the
requisite explanation. It is
pleasing to see that a ssnart
dog died in Boston the other
day. He used to carry home
his masters paper for him,
and the Boston papers say it
was the printers ink that
killed him. 1t was doubtless
no such thing. Even the dog
could not stand the disserta-
tons of the Boston papers on
culture and symposiums and
ethics and ali this, and so it
chose to die rather than carry
a Boston paper any longer.
His epitaph should be: 'Sensi>
bic dog.

In the face Of these assurances
Mr.. Dupre hot'y insisted that his
assertion was correct, whercnpon
The Governor pronounced the
statement a lalschood.
Mr.. Dupre rel lined that Gov.

na9=Judge Billings, of the
United States Court, has just de-
cided that requiring children OF
different races TO attend different
schools, is not depriving them of
equal rights, any more than re-
curing those Of different sexes to
attend different schools, deprives
them of any legal rights under the
constitution OF the State. Further,
that United States Courts have no
jurisdiction to inquire as between
citizens of this State, whether the
authority Of the State Constitution,
is violative of the l4th amendment
