Vice President, and Herr Ackermann, Conserva-
tive, second Vice President. The upper house Of
the Prlssian Diet to-day discussed the bill for the
permanent remission of 100000 marks Of taxes
Prince Bismarck said the bill represented
q small portion Of the toilsome path of taxation
reform which he had been trying to follow the
past five years Prince Bismarck concluded as
follows: "If you have no confidence in the
work of reform, 1 lose all heart for pro-
ceeding with it. ] cannot, therefore, refrain
from attestng the fact that byreecting the bill you
would injure the whole work Of reform. If you

ada Southern has advanced under steady demand to-

strong advance in New Jersey Central during the past

4 KICKER
BY HARRY FORD.

The mule seemed pensiye, even sad.
Asif by conscience pricked;
But when they came 10 share his woes
He raised obiections-kicked,
The cat came up to sympathize,
With new and gentle purr;
Alas she got within his reach,
Notwithstanding and fur.
The dog, in pity, neared him to
Alleviate his care;
He tried 10 pass around him once,
But-sausage meat and hair.
And John, the honest farmer boy,
Who had the beast in charge,
Tried recklessly to harness him
His funeral was large.
Oh. trifing were the causes which
His fexile legs unfurled,
And many were the quadrupeds
That sought another world.
He never did q decent thing;
He wasn't worth a ducat;
He kicked and kicked until he died,
And then be kicked the bucket
