Mr. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, who has come
to Chicago after living in North Carolinaa a
number Of years, should meet with hearty
reception for his fathers sake and his own.
The address which he delivered the other
evening before the Young Mems Auxiliary
Club, and published In yesterdays TRIBUNE,
showed that he has made good progress in
the firm Union principles In which his father
died, and also that he has inherited much Of
the talent which made his father one Of the
great men OF his time. Mt. Douglas has lived
among the people Of the South, and speaks
by the card. He has only kind words for
them personally and socially, but the most
unbounded contempt for their political here
sizes and methods. He would encourage the
people OF the North to believe that some Of
the Southern States may be carried by the
Republicans this fall by proper energy. He
may be mistaken In this, as things actually
are, but his confidence would certainly be
warranted II the Douglas Democrats and old
time Union men in that section would assert
their convictions as clearly and forcibly as he
does,

TIE taxpayers Of the different wards are
casting about for suitable persons to serve as
Aldermen, to be elected in April. There is
need for change in the Second Ward. The
outgoing incumbent has, though personally
honest, generally voted wrong on all ques-
tions Of Importance to the taxpayers. We
are sorry to have this to say, but it is the
truth, as the record shows. There is gang
Of fifteen OF sixteen blackmallers and tax eat
ers in the Council who always vote to i'll
crease expenses, to raise salaries; to multiply
of1ceholders, to cheat and devour the taxpay-
ers, and who make their living by levying
:blackmail on any measure that +" has money
in it which comes before the Council. For
some reason or other the Second Ward Alder
man votes nearly always with this gang. He
dest certainly know they are not honest,
and have not the confidence Of. respectable
people. Then why does he yield to good
nature and act with that crowd so often
His colleague, AID. Ballard, votes against
the blacRmaii gang every time. Whydoesn't
Sanders act in concord with his colleague
and thereby give the Second Ward two votes
on the right side of every question?

Congress three years ago by being passed In

And he is there to defend fraud OF that kind
and profit by it. But his profits cannot be SO
small as he would hypocritlcally have
the public believe, when it is understood
that he is interested in thirteen or four
teen different mills or pulp factories.
He is trying to throw q little pulp in the face
of the people. THE TRIBUNE and the pub
fishers of the United States are not working
for any protection for themselves, but would
like to have members Of Congress, if they
are disposed to listen att all, reason out this
line Of distinction. The press is simply say
Ing to Congress: We.ask. no protection at
your hands, but we insist That you shall not
help these paper-makers and pulp makers
at our expense. Let ever tub stand
on its own bottom. They are just
as well prepared to furntsh paper or pulp
without protection as the newspapers are to
furnish their sheets without protection.
This protection against newspapers has been
q swindle. The tax on paper furnishes no
revenue to the Government, and it was not
intended to furnish any revenue; and it has
thus far performed the purpose OF its inten-
tion. It is bare, downright robbery, In
which Congress is made to take the part Of
one set Of manufacturers and swindle an
other set of manufacturers. If they cal
reconcile that with any principles Of protec-
tion legitimately accepted, they will do some
thing that has never been shown to the

OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS.

Americans generally know very little
about Mexico. They know she has a species
Of subdued mania for revolutions; that her
form Of government is apt to change with
the seasons; that she once was engaged IN
war with the United States, and that "vet"
Grams Of the Mexican War" take part pub
lie professions. They also have vague idea
that Montezuma was an original Mexican
and that Cortes once made dashtng raid
into that territory. They have heard that
her soil was fertile and her mineral wealth
vast, but are apt to consider "Greasers !"
among her most important productions.
Were it not for an occasional furry along
the Rio Gr1nde or semi-occasional visit
from a Mexican Minister, even her geograph-
ical position would be but memory.
A writer In the Californian objects, per-
APPS not unnaturally, to SO much ignorance
Of the affairs Of near neighbor, and pert
inently inquiries whether our GoVernment
has ever decided upon any definit policy
toward our " sister Republic" He is also
filed with righteous indignation at the
apathy or Indifference Of our merchants ana
traders, which leads them to forego what

The City Council seems utterly Indifferent
to the necessity of improving the mud streeEs
of the business portions of the city between
the river, lake, and Twelfth, and the people
themselves are too busy with other affairs to
urge it. Why doesn't Mayor Harrison go at
it in persistent, -sledge-hammer way tna1
will be sure to make an impression sooner or
later? He is personally familiar with the
condition Of the European and Eastern cities,
and he knows how disgraceful and damaging
the streets Of Chicago are to the progress and
metropolitan character Of this community.
He knows that the cost of the proposed I'M
provement will be trffling in each in
dividual case. He knows that the owner OF
every piece of property will get his
money back tenfold in the Increased value
thereof. He knows that the tenants of the
buildings will gladly submit to the 1nslgnifl-
cant increase of rent which would be neces-
sary to assess the interest on the cost of the
proposed improvement. Heknows that if all
the streets In the business portion OF the city
be improved about the same time it will then
be possible to keep them clean and in good
repair at slight expense. He knows that the
work can be done the cheaper by letting out
large contracts. He knows that the other
sections of the city would soon follow a
proper example in the principal business dis
trict. He knows that hundreds Of thou
sands, if not millions, of dollars can be saved
and gained for the people of Chicago by
uniform system of good and clean streets.
He knows that such blessing will never be
secured except by an aggressive and sweep
ing movement such as THE TRIBUNE has ad-
vised.
:: Why won't Mayor Harrison 60 at this
work and follow it up until he shall secure
the backing Of organized popular sentiment,
and compel the Council to pass the necessary
order? The revival in business and the pros
pect for good times will make the charge
upon the benefited property very light, and
it will be easily and cheerfully sustained by
the great majority OF the owners. The gen.
eral improvement Of the streets will be a
good business investment, as well as great
boon to the people Of Chicago, and Mayor
Harrison may win immortality by Identify
ing his name with such improvement. Will

THE Third -Termers. who call themselves
"Stalwarts par excellence, never cease to
traduce and sneer at President Hayes on ac-
count Of what they call 'his abandonment Of
the Southern Republicans" This abuse is
the result Of blind ma1ignity, coupled with
treacherous memories Tor the record. 1t was
under Grants second Administration that
the ex-Confederates achieved the power Of
"Home Rule,'' for which they had contended
so fiercely from the close of the War. When
he went out of office the control OF every
Southern State except two had been Wrested
from the Republicans, and in those two
States the Republican tenure was so frail
that it loosed its hold Immediately after
Grants retirement. Mississippi, the strong
est Republican State In the South, was al
lowed to be clutched by the Confederates in
1875 by fraud and violence, and Gov. A1nes
(Republican) was compelled to resign his
office, or run the risk Of assassin alton,
and leave the State. The election was
carried by the most high-handed and out
rageous means. Hundreds of Republicans
were murdered, and other hundreds driven
into exile and their property confscated, and
President Grant never raised finger In their
defense, never punished one Of their per-
secutors, and made no effort to oust the bull
dozers from power which they had obtained
by force, fraud, and assassination. we have
often asked these peculiar "Stalwarts " who
never cease abusing Hayes how they excuse
Grant for his apathetic non-actf0n in the case
Of Mississippi, but have never succeeded in
getting satisfactory or intelligent explana-
ton from those gentlemen. They simply
ignore the case Of Mississippi, and also
Alabama and Arkansas, both Of which were
wrenched from the Republicans by foul
means during Grants Administration, with
out receiving protection from him, OF being
restored By his Intervention to their rightful
control Of the administration of those States.

TEE intensely cold weather which has pre-
vailed for some time In the upper part Of
British Columbia is causing great havoc
among the cattle, sheep, and horses of that
region. The loss already sustained by the
stock-raisers Is estimated at $1,000, 600. The
snow is from three to five feet in depth, and,
as there is no indication Of a thaw, it is
thought that nearly all the live stock of the
region will perish before spring, and that
many of the hitherto rich herders will be
reduced to begga1.

ECONOMY OF PAYING YOUR TAXES NOV

ECONOMY OF PAYING YUUh IAAES NUN
The legislation OF the last session of the
State Legislature amendatory Of the Rev
enue Law in the matter Of tax collection will
be put in force at once. Heretofore taxa
ton for each year has been due and payable
after the 1st Of January following the close
of the year for which the taxes were levied.
Thus, the taxes of 1879 became due and pay
able Jan. 1, 1850. The practice has hitherto
been for the Town Collectors to devote their
energies to the collection of taxes upon per.
sonal property, and when they returned their
books early in March little or none Of the
tax on real estate was collected. The prac-
tice in this county has been to waste several
months in copying tax-lfsts into pondeEous
volumes at an immense cost, and then at the
July term to apply for Judgment upon all the
realestate taxes then unpaid; q judgment
for the delinquent taxes was obtained
towards the close Of summer. and then the
or forfeitures taking place In September or
October,-th great bulk Of the taxes on real
estate that were paid being paid between
August and October.
The Legislature at the last session SIM
plifed this business very much. 1t pro-
vided costly penalties for non-payment of
taxes. It declared that all lands on
which taxes shall not be paid on the 1st Of
May shall be legally delinquent, and that on
the second Monday in May the Collector
shall apply to the Court for Judgment
against such lands for the taxes thereon, and
the costs, and interest at the rate Of per
cent per month until paid, OF until the lands
shall be sold or forfeited. This interest will
begin on the 1st of May, unless the taxes be
paid before the date Of the Judgment.
In the meantime, all taxes on real estate
are now due and payable; the Town Col
lcctors' books have been returned to the
County Treasurer, who is now collecting the
al-estate taxes. There are but six weeks
intervening between now and the 1st OF May,
at which time the penalty of 1 per cent Der
month interest will begin.
The penalty for delinquent taxes will be !
per cent for May, per cent for June, and 1
per cent for July. Supposlng the taxes are
not paid in July, and the lands are forfeited,
there will be an additional penalty Of rs per
cent, instead OF 10 per cent as heretofore. 1t
will be- seen, therefore, that the penalty
henccforth for the non-payment OF taxes on
real estate in this county at the time they
fall due has been made a heavy one. These
penalties, whether in the form Of cost Of ad-
veHisfng, interest at the rate Of per cent
month"; costs Of judgment, forfeiture to the
State, or sale, combined, will be large addi-
ton to the tax bill, which will have to be paid
in any case. Perhaps the wisest-certainly
the most satisfactory and economical-of all
proceedings is to avoid all costs and penalties
by the payment Of the taxes during March
and in the first week Of April. Then prop
erty-owners can, in addition to saving costs
and penalties, also avoid having themselves
published as delinquents.

SIR GARNET Wo1sELEY will return to

his return he will be made Quartermaster-

bloods OF that military organization are not
greatly enamored Of the hero of the Ashan-
