Tax sales.
Morris Banner.


The last legislature repealed the law which
required the lands of delinquent taxpayers to
DO advertised in newspaper before being
sold. The present mode is to stick notice
behind the courthouse door Tor on it and
unless the owner happens to go to the court
house and searches for it, his land will be
sold for taxes before he knows it. He may be
at home hard at work trying to earn an hon
est living and perhaps has forgotten about his
taxes, and before he knows ii his farm is sold
into the hands of some sharper who has moth
ing to do but to lay around town and watch
for chances to take advantage of an
honest man. The present law is an
outrage upon the people and will cause end
less trouble.
Under the old law fa man neg 'ected to
pay his tax, and was at home at work
the newspapers entered his home and
warned him as friend that his property
was in danger. For "four successive weeks ;
the advertisement-th warnin g-was sent
forth into every nook and corner of the
county. Men had Nh opportunity to pay up
and prevent their property from being sacri-
feed. And where sales were compelled to DO
made, the people knew of the day of the
sales and went in to buy up the lands at
reasonable prices. The cost of the advertis-
ing was mere trihe, and was paid by the
delinquent taxpayers themselves and did not
cost the State cent. The Legislature ought
to have limited the price of the advertising
and let the law remain. But it was changed
in the interest of land sharks, who prey
upon the lands of honest men.
We would have mentioned this matter
long ago, but kept silent because many peo-
Pile would think that we were working for
self interest. But we now state-and Sheriff
Ragand can testify to the truth of the asser-
tion-that our fees for the advertising last
year were only 81. That amount, so cents
each, was paid to us by the men whose
property was advertised and who all felt glad
that the publication had been made, so they
could pay up before sale day ard prevent
thei- lands from being "cried Off by the
Sheriff. The people of Morris county have
been remarkably prompt in settling their
taxes, but all counties are not so. Only last
week ia Fannin county, 1888 tracts ofland were
sold for taxes, and we venture the assertion
that not one-third of the owners knew any
thing about it until they discovered that their
land had been sold. What do you suppose
they think about the law which sticks u little
notice Up on the courthouse door where not
one man in thousand sees it, instead Of put
ting it into a newspaper to go into the homes
of the people in every part of the county =?
In their hearts they will curse the man that
passed law allowing them to be deprived
of their homes without warning
We would not have written this article if
several farmers had not urged us to do So
and they also declare that they intend to call
on the candidates for the Legislature to ex-
press their views on the matter. Let them
be preparedto answer.

A report has been in circulation for some
days of the alleged discovery of rich geld
and silver deposits, or what was supposed to
DO such, among the Sicily island hills, east of
the Ouachta river, some five miles from the
southeastern extremity Of this parish. The
parties who made the discovery we're endeav-
oring to keep it secret but we learn this
morning that crows are tlocking to the
srene. The fact that several old California
miners, who are now residents of this parish,
have been absent from home for the past
four or five days, leads to the belief that
something is up. If tho ore turns out what
il is supposed to be, it will prove bonsnzs
to this entire section of the country. The
geological structure of Sicily island hills is
decidedly favorable to deposits of valuable
minerals. Franklin LA l.Sun.

A NATIONAL VIEW.
The Greenback Organ in Washing
ton Denounces Fusion IN Maine.
AND COMES OUT AS A HIGH KICKER.
National View.l

The Washington Post, the official Democrat
a column of editorial correspondence from
Maine, on Maine politics, in which the views
and intentions of the Democrats in their
weuld-be alliance with the Greenbackers of
that State are clearly defined
The correspondent, after a resume of the
State ticket, complains that the Greenback
element hangs back and does not enter heart
lily into support of the proposed Fusion, and
then says:
The of the weakness of the Fusion-which
is powerful enough to carry the State If properly
managed-is to be found In the inexPerience, the
narrow-mndedness and greed of the Greenbackers.
They do not look beyond Maine to observe what is
going on, and full of the folly of estimating the
They do not care to see Hancock elected, not be-
they do not believe him to be the better man,
but because they are assured that If he is defeated
tion and then as they reason, the Greenback party
will Immediately absorb everything but Its name,
and become at once the opposition and on the first
rial of strength the dominant afty.
In his great soreness at the failure to rouse
Fusion enthusiasm, the manner in which
Democrats have proposed to use their allies is
distinctly stated as follows:
Mr. Solon Chase has not yet stopped to think
tnat hancock, II eleCteu, Will Dc cACCtcl WltuOut
the help of Maine. and that In that case the Green
back fly that has been annoying the old Democratic
horse will be brushed off at one whisk Of his tail
At the same time he admits, with Demo
cratic inconsistency, that Maine can greatly
stimulate the Hancock cause by electing
Plaisted and the State ticket, and by that
means serve notice that she intends to cast her
electoral ticket for Hancock in November
He adds that it is clear Mr.. Chase can greatly
aid Democratic success while he cannot effect
the results of the party.
We are greatly mistaken in the temper and
sense of our Maine friends if they, for mo-
ment. will allow themselves and the principles
Of their party thus to be made the tool OF
Democrats for the purpose of aiding in sue
cess from which they are to be kicked otf at
the winning post.
The importance of Maine in the coming
election is very great and her position excep-
tional. The Democracy, which claims Sohd
South, would use this northern-most key to
unlock the door which has barred them from
power so long: they depend on Maine dreen-
hackers to help them do it, But ior our tnlrd
party there is no hope in such change Inc

DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF THE

There is no possible way i'm which AlOn-

and keeping his precious set of vii
lains i'm this State in Council for
life, provided they can secure nom
inati Ons for the places, and cam find
courage to throw out Republican returns
enough each year to seat their own tools
i'm the legislative chamber. Popular Iiber-
ty thus far has had its throat cut i'm liberty
loving New England by a scaIpeI of a Down
East doctor, and nothing but the hope
that the infinite Justice of heaven will over
take him, stands between this and the fu-
ture subjection of the State of Maine to his
dictatorship, if he is brazen enough to COM
tinue this kind Of work. There is but one
thing that would meet the case with per.
feet Justice, and that would be the short
shrift of this man with a great cord from
one of the elms of Augusta. But New Eng
land takes the more tardy, but equally sure
way through the ballot box, and even pup
pet GarceIon and maestro PilIsbury will
not have assurance to use their power

ferences are. far from being healed, and
there is an utter absence of brain from the
headquarters of the Democracy in New

with him at the headquarters want to run
the Democratic campaign in the old Demo-

in the party, and only the advice of antedi-

needed. Mr.. Buell. is disappointed, dis
