The True MO1e Of Taxation.

Az in war, az in politics. The
scouting party suggested and sent BY
the INDICATOR two weekt aimee into
tho lines Of capital, corporations and
mionied institutions, has raised the
enemy 10 Ode style. Now comes the
Evening Fsxs and caI's our sugges-
,ions "aovel," and wants more light
90 20 strange . subject.
If the principle that revenues hot
lands, are to be taxed, IL novel, then
10 have read to. little purpose the
history Of Preach finaneeering /; =. if
capital and corporations are not bet
tor calculated and more able to bear
tho whole burden Of tho State even,
than lands, then the success Of the
"oovel plan" in Pennsylvania is =
myth. f'4 .a..t:t ef.tt
But tho Nsrs knows better than
tbis-it knows that when capital as
sumes ito jast share Of taxation, when
corporatioos-not mooopolies-are
made to pay for their franchises, thon
there will be less complaint Of hard
times and high taxation from our 10.
dustsial community. 1t, q chooses,
however, to- treat every effort to
reach ito masters d = huge joke, and

marriages was suspended, three regular
weddings have taken place. The last one
was on Tuesday evening, when VIM. II.
WoolwOrth, one of the principal members
of the community, was united to Miss
Caroline A. Masknett, also one Of the
fraternity. The groom is about fifty three
years of age, and the bride about five years
his junior. The women present we're clad
in their usual bloomer, house costume.
The bride had dress of rich black mate
rial, with lace collar and trimmings, rather
sombre for the occasion. The ceremony
was similar to that of Congregational
clergymen, and was administered by w.
l.. Hubbard, the postmaster, who is also
the junior counsel in the Hayden murder
trial. The newly married-couple were
congratulated by their friends upon
their entrance into this rather novel state,
which in measure separates them from
their associates, and the bride was kissed
affectionately by several of her heretofore
husbands. and the women who had hither-
to had an equal claim with her to call Mr..
Woodwork husband, but whose right she
has by her act now trampled under foot.
There didn't seem to be much more than
a friendly feeling existing between them,
however.
