ucclhcu iuVlSdDle, empowered ana re-
quired to adjust and equalize the valua-
tion Of taxable property throughout the
State and secure the payment of taxes
upon all property rated at it's actual
value. The constitution having fixed
low rate of taxation, it becomes vital
ly necessary that all taxable property
should pay its full value.
LICENSE TAXES.
Article 2O6 authorizes the General As
sembly to levy q license tax on trades,
professions and vocations. To meet the
immediate and pressing demands upon
the State treasury such tax should be
assessed without delay, and be made ex-
igible Immediately. Your attention is
called to article III, which provides that
a mode of license may be applied to cor
porations, associations and companies
dOmiciled ont of the State but doing bu
siness within it, different from tnat pro.
vided for home corporations and compa-
MES.
License taxes imposed by municipal
and local authorities are limited to the
amount assessed by the State on the same
trades, professions and vocations. This
is additional motive for making the
State license tax at once, as we'll as for
making it just and equitable. Restored
prosperity and increased taxable proper
ty will in time enable the State to dis
pense with this method Of taxation, for
the relief OF all engaged in mechanical
pursuits and to encourage productive
industry. 1t is extremely difficult to as
sess license tax that shall be equal
uniform and just.
There is no method of comparison by
Louisiana capitolian., 1880-01-24


as that right is kept free, sure and
complete political liberty will be secure,
and no longer. 10 maintain the integri-
ty of this right and secure the purity of
the ballOt-bOx are among the highest
duties of wise and patriotic Legislators.
FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
Article l91 requires an act of the Leg
islature fixing the time of holding cleo
tions for Representatives in the Congress
of the United States, and regulating
such elections; also an act prescribing
the method of choosing or manner and
time of electing presidential electors.
While it is competent for the General
Assembly to appoint the lateer, their
election by direct vote of the people,
according to the time hallowed and uni
form practice of this and nearly every
other State, ought to be continued.
Article 1874 calls for law for the trial
of contested elections. 1t is for the pub
lie good that such CONVERSATIONS should
be settled speedily, and with as little
expense to the parties in contest as the
nature of the proceedings will permit.
BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE.
BY article 1877 it is left to the discre-
ton Of the General Assembly to create
Bureau Of Agriculture, define itsoLjects,
designate it's officers aud fix their sala-
ries, whenever the financial condition of
the State may, in their judgment, justi-
fly such expenditure. An immediate
organization of this bureau would be as
wise use of the public money as the
Legislature can make, within the pre-
scrihed limit of $4,000 per annum.

SELF-REPRESSION.


BY l. Am.
1t is wonderful how frequently il is nee.
cssary to compel ourselves to think, speak
and act differently from our real wishes It
is good thing to be natural, and vet
much that is natural within and about us,
has to be kept down and perhaps altogether
eradlcated. The natural tendencies OF
very few people are quite good and perfect,
Mosto US have some qualities and charac
teristics that may have their way and be-
come as prominent and strong as they
please, because they are harmless and
proper; but at the same time if we exam.
Inc ourselves carefully we will find that
there are seeds within us which would pro-
duce very unlovely flowers and pernicious
fruit, II they were allowed to grow IN full
RIGHTEOUSNESS. So that in this case it is
absolutely necessary that we should have
and hold the power to repress their rising,
lest at any time the badness within us
should be stronger then the goodness. It
VIII be found that the task is not au easy
one. Impulses that need to he reprcssed
are very selt-assertive, and will, if possible,
push themselves to the front and bave their
will upon us. Only great determination
to do the right, strong self control, and un-
wearicd perseverance will succeed. 1t
needs unHinching courage and patience
that will not tire in order to overcome. 1t
needs above all things that We should un.
derstand the benefit which would follow
such sclf-cuture, and also that we should
realize the possibility of obtaining divine
guidance and aid for the task.
All the selfishness within us needs
to be repressed. The word is
very comprehensive one surely.
1t means more than we Sometimes think
What is the root of the passionate or sui
len temper which makes SO many of us
worse than We should be, but selhshness.
Some one has offended us. He has uttered
words we did not like perhaps slandered
us-said unjust or unkind things of us.
50 we are angry and say bitter things,
seeking to find soace for our wounded
pride or feelings in thus retaliating, instead
OF REFRESHING this bitterness and
REFRESHING tins bitterness and persuing
the even tenor of our ways, and cultivating
the charity which suffercth long, and is
kind, leaving the world to judge between
US.
Suppose we become possessors OF some
knowledge which, If repeated would iniure
our neighbor, would 1t not be better for
us to resist the temptation to tell it?
Would we ourselves not be made better by
practicing little reticence, little kindly
little thoughtful care, Then
is it indeed nothing to save a character
from blame and a whole household from
sorrow: Indeed it must be as good Il work
as feeding the hungry, or clothing the
naked. And yet how few-how very few
even protested Christians practice it. 1t is
marvellous thing that in this world where
we are all so liable to fall, we should be so
eager to circulate proofs of our
blother's failures, A new field of useful
ness lies open to those who desire to do
good, but cannot find the opportunity. Let
them simply learn to reprcss their own I'M
Kind true or hard words.

proof was produced before Inspector
Knight that five illegal votes had been
polled before he gave the casting vote,
and the certifcat of election to Mr.
johnson. The State law is quite EN-
phatic in regard to an Inspectors GER

BUYING themselves snug offices-It
is nothing less. They tax the people
to raise the salaries of one hundred
and seven thousand Office holders 50
high as to enable incumbents to con-
tribute large sums of money to defeat

Indiana and Ohio, we are told, by
circulars from the Republican Nation
al Committee were secured with
money, and they now appeal for more
money, hoping to carry other States
with its use. The majority Of the peo-
pie are opposed to the Radicals, and
they should give the Democratic can
didates such an overwhelming majori-

that no bribe taker should disgrace the

THE RADICAL DODGE.

Those Pennsylvania manufacturers
says the Philadelphia Times who bave
allowed their partisan prejudices to
carry them into an excited tariff cam
psign may feel somewhat surprised
this morning to read their names
attached to position asking Congress
TO pass the very measure which thel
now profess to believe so fraught with
peril, and thus to take the tariff out OF
politics. The so-called Eaton bill
which our manufacturers then favored,
was presented by Democratic Sena-
tor, reported by the Democratic chair
man Of the finance committee and passed
by Democratic Senate; that it was NOT
