Representation and Taxation.

There is much complaint on account Of the
tardiness of tho Taxpayers Of this city in pay
ing the taxes now levied upon them, but did
those who murmur at this condition OF things
ever think that it is really q wonder that
10000 people who are taxed without repre-
senta,iou should pay any taxes at all? Itis a
fundamental principle Of a republican form of
government that representation and taxation
shah q together This principle Is utterly
violated in tho formation of our present Dis
trict government, and 1t is a question which
the supreme court of the United States should
be called upon 10 decide, whether on not such
q government Is sanctioned and becomes
valid under the constitution OF the United
States 1t would be as competent to remand
any other city or county orstatc In the union
to this condition as IL Is to hold tho city of
Washington aud District Of Columbia subject
to the unjust and unconstitutional form Of
government under which Ass sssm tuts are now
imposed. No other people within our ma
tiOual limits would submit 10 such a condition
of things for a week. II would eugeudcr re-
sistaucc aud revolution. The violation of tho
principle that is violated hero was what led 10
the revolution which brought us ma
tional independence. Those who arc ex-
crcsin9 an unconstitutional rule over this
people should reflect upon their anomalous
condition, aud then they would not perhaps
wonder that taxes are paid tardily, il at all,

AN ACToR-PREACHEa

Charley Parson, whe was forty year
ago.a famous actor in Louisville, KY,
was vigorous and handsome young man
and the promise of his genius was then
as bright as Forests or Booths. Afte,
a few years of active stage life change
came over the spirit of Parsons dreams,
and at one jump he bounded to the ex.
treme of social limit-from an actor to q
preacher. At that date Methodist
church was situated on Fourth street in
Louisville, and theater was Just around
the corner on Jefferson street, and an
announcement for one night was Richard
Ill, with Parsons as the humpback
tyrant. The audience had assembled at
the theater, and there was a crowded
house. The first act had been called.
when it was reported that Parsons was
not on hand. In those days it was not
an unusual thing for prominent actors to
be missing at the time for the perform
ance to commence, and several jokes are
told OF managers having to take their
principal actors out of pawn before the
curtain could be rung up. So the alb
sence of Parsons was not surprise. The
mystery was, "Where is he?" no one
could answer the question, and all the
attaches of the theater were sent out to
search for him. No one ever thought of
looking in church for missing actor,
but it was there that Parsons was found.
The stage carpenter stated the case to
the sexton of the church, and learning
that the missing man was on the inside
went in. The carpenter spied his man
near the front seat and walking rapidly
up the aisle touched him ON the arm and
said, First acts called sir"
Parsons looked around in utter sur
prise; in his devotion the theater had
gotten clear out of his thoughts.
What's the play?" he asked.
Why, Richard, sir, was the answer.
And the reply came: "Tell them that
Richard plays another part tonight"
The carpenter hurried to the theater
with the report that Parsons was at the
church and gone crazy. The theater peo-
pie at once invaded the church, and after
much talk and argument, Parsons played
Richard for the last time. Soon after.
wards he left the theater for good, and
through many years from that was one
OF the most prominent ministers of Louis
vile. At times he was rather hard in
speaking Of the theater, but through all
the days of his life he cherished friend
ships that had their beginning at the old
"City Theater." Parsons played wide
range of characters during his career
upon the stage. Parsons, eldest son, E.
Y Parsons, was member of Congress
representing the Louisville district, and
died in Washington in 1876 while a men,
Der of the House. Another son, Frank
Parsons, like his father was both actor
and preacher.
