roads, appeared before the Board of Commits
siOners of Lyon county the other day, as agent
for D o. Mills, and called their attention to
the fact that as times are depressed and dull
the " & T. railroad should not be taxed the
coming year for more than one-half the
amount Of last year, which was, rs is doubt
less we'll remembered. $25. 900 per mile; he
considered the rate of $12 600 per mile suffi-
cient these times Gazette.
This would be all very well if Mr.. Mills
we're equally anxious to pay high rates when
times are good. No one ever heard of the
Superintendent Of the V. & T. Railroad Com
pany calling on a Board of Commissioners and
calling attention to the fact that in considera-
ton of the times being flush and money
plenty, he would like to have the taxes raised
Oh the road he represented. They call for q
reduction with as much earnestness when
times are good as when money is scarce. 1t
is sort of Heads win and tails you lose "
proposition which makes things all one way.
The fact is recalled that when times we're good
and money plenty, the company declined to
pay the taxes fixed by law, and put the coun'
ties to the trouble of annoying litigation be-
fore paying. The company does not fight these
snits with the expectation of winning them, but
simply to cause vexatious delays and trouble
SO that in future the Commissioners will rea-
son that this trouble can be avoided by small
rate of taxation. Will the company give ship
pers of freight reduction on account of hard
timesl The v. Il T. Railroad is to. day making
more money than any other enterprise in Ne
vada, both in the gross and in proportion to
the capital invested. D. O. Mills makes vast
sums of money out of Nevada and invests it
elsewhere. 1t is only proper that he should be
made to pay the full valuation. There should
be not one dollar Of abatement A man worth
millions, sending an agent before Board of
County Commissioners and squealing' be-
cause his taxes are too high, places himself in
a most contemplate and picayunish light. If
the V. & T. read is granted reduction of one
half because the times are hard, then let ev-
cry merchant, business man and private citi-
zen demand similar reduction over last years
rates. Lot there be no discrimination between
the rich and poor. Taxation should be a fair
and just assessment of valuation all round and
rich nonresident certainly should not be
granted favors over anybody else.

An Angel,s BIrlhdny.

Mrs. Saxon, of New Orleans, who was one of
the speakers at the National Suffrage Conven.
ton, and who was one of the most efficient
workers during the yellow.lover scourge last
summer, lost daughter by that disease near
the close of the epidemic. The following poem
expresses the feeling Of thousands Of boreaved
hearts in similar oirCumstances--th test Of
true poetry:
IT'S your birthday, my precious, my darling,
Or would be If you were on earth;
know II must still be your birthday,
Though borne to your heavenly birth;
know that the angels are fair and as sweet
AS these fair earthly roses / twine
Their love may be perfect, pure and complete,
But never more tender than mine.
Are you glad IN their gladness my daring2
DO YOU laugh In your innocent glpe2
Or aro you sad IN the brightness Of Heaven,
In thinking of home and finer
In the night, when long for your presence,
And water my pillow with tears
When pray for the touch Of your fingers,
10 comfort my sorrows and fears;
SO light is the veil that's between us.
The mother and child ore so near;
The breath ofmy soul Is suspended
For your accents so tender and clear
oh, my glorifed darling, most precious,
or all the sweet gifts that were mine,
have lent you, not lost you, my darling,
only tent TO the love that's divine.
There are moments 30 sweet and so solemn
That my soul bursts It's prison of pain,
And scars to the realm Of the Spirit
And meets my own angel again.
Then calm from that sanity communion
defy every foe of the world;
can scorn every breath Of contumely,
. Every shaft by Us Ignorance hurled,
No black robes Of darkness and mourning
Should be worn for spirit like thee,
Only solemn thanksgiving and blessings
That you from earths sorrows are free.
MRS. L, l.. SAXON.
