have the amount of their indebtedness, with
 the names of their creditors, spread out
 for public inspection. It is argued by many
 people that after the taxpayer has made his inventory under oath, and the lister has de- duced from it the net results which the law requires to be made known, the inventory
 becomes the property of the taxpayer, and
 may be destroyed by him. The claim is that
 the details of the taxpayers affairs, which go
 to make up his inventory, are not for the
 public eye, but only private statement
 which should not go beyond the hands of the
 lister or be seen by other eyes than his. On
 the other hand, it is asserted that such 8
 course would be in violation of the law, and
 that not only the net results of the inventory,
 but the details themselves, must be filed for
 the inspection of the taxpayers of the town.
 In some localities the feeling against the law
 is so strong that the listers, as well as the
 people at large, are disposed to pay little or no attention to it's offensive features. This
 is particularly true of Franklin county, where
 the listers are said to be preparing to adopt
 a course which shall deprive the new law of it's intended effect, and in reality put it on a level with the old law, at least so far as the appraising of real estate is concerned.
 A year or two ago the California Legisla-, ture authorized & committee of the Board of purpose of selecting the best site for State hospital for consumptives. The results of this investigation have been made public
 The committee makes many interesting ob- servations about resorts which already have a reputation for healthfulness. Santa Bar
 bara, for instance, is recommended for it's equable temperature and general freedom from severe winds; but in summer the winds are sometimes bad, the air is not very dry, there are occasional fogs and the temperature is high. San Diego has remarkably equa- ble temperature, the range not being more than 150 for the whole year; the humidity is less than that of most towns on the coast, there are few fogs and no severe winds Like Santa Barbara, however, it lacks eleva- tion and dryness in summer. After careful investigation of this character the committee recommended that the State hospital be erect ed at Atlas Peak, on the ridge of the Coast Range Mountains, within twelve miles of Napa City. This place has of late years at tracted considerable attention, says the com mittee, on account of it's equability of tenn perature, it's freedom from fogs or harsh winds, the dryness of the. atmosphere, and it's supposed advantages as residence for Its elevation is about 1,5OO feet. It's mean temperature for winter is 500 for summer, 740. The mean relative humidity is only 45 per cent, which is con- siderably less than at the other better known health resorts. The climate is warm in sum- mer, but it is said never to be oppressive. There are no malarial diseases, and the vicin- ity affords abundant facilities for camp-life and outdoor exercise

Things have come to a pretty pass The whole wide country over, When every married woman has To have friend or lover; It ain't the way that was raised, An haint no desire To have some feller pokin' round Instead of my Josiar. never kin forget the day That we went out walkin, An sot down on the river bank m kep on hours talkin'; He twisted up my apron string An folded 1t together, An said he thought for harvest time Twas cur'us kind O weather. The sun went down as we sot there Josisr seemed uneasy, An mother she began to call "Loweezy oh, Lo~eeZy '" An then Jos!ar spoke right up, As was just 8 startin, Am said, '1Loweezy. what's the uss Of us two ever partin'?" It kind O took me by surprise, An yet knew twas comin'- I'd heard it all the summer long, In every wild bees hummin' I'd studied out the way Id act, But law 1 couldn't do it I meant to hide my love from him, But seems as If he knew 1t. An lookin' down into my eyes He must . seen the fire, Am ever since that hour I've loved An worshipped my Josiar.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Certain liberal Democrats of Wisconsin have formed with number of Republicans, a civil service reform association pledged to the establishing of system of appointment, promotion, and removal in the civil service founded upon the principle that public office is a public trust, ad- mission to which should depend upon ap- proved fitness. They admit that the Demo- cratic party is dead in that State at least, and new associations must be formed.
 The European powers do not mean to be caught without artillery in case of war. The immense Krupp gun works in Germany are in state of feverish activity. The numerous buildings have received more ad- ditions, the army of employees has been in- creased, and work is carried on day and night The next country to have an order filled is Roumania, for which 100 field guns,
 with complete accoutrements, have been in
 process of manufacture Greece will come
 next with TOO field pieces, completely equip
 ped. Next in order is Sweden, with 50 field
 guns, Holland with 12o, and Italy with 400
 siege guns.
 A
 cult Court at Chicago, in which the judge
 (Tully) held that the proof that man be-
 lieves in Spiritualism is no evidence of
 mans insanity or incapacity to take care of
 his own affairs. Judge Fully said that men who stand high in science, judges who adorn
 the bench. attorneys, solicitors, clergymen, physicians, literary men of the highest ability and, in fact, men in every walk and condi- ton of life honestly believe in these phenom- ena and so it would be the sheerest non
 sense for him to hold that belief in the phe-
 nomena known as Spiritualism was per SC any evidence of unsound mind. It might lead to | unsonnd mind, but not necessarily so.
 The Boston school committee on salaries has reported in favor. of a general reduction in the salaries of teachers. Some complaint having been made as to the l cost of the school department the first stIoke of retrenchment is made here. One member 1 of the committee dissents and opposes any reduction in salaries at this time; and gives ! several good reasons why it should not be
 done. The teachers position is at the best ! one of great insecurity. The tenure is brief 1 and uncertain. The requirements are severe | and exacting. The salaries now paid are not high in proportion to other salaries, nor in proportion to incomes from other callings re- l quiring equal preparation and ability. The Boston Aduertiser has seen no indication that
 the taxpayers desire reduction in school expenses at the expense of the teachers. It is not surprising to learn that the new l tax law in Vermont does not work well. A correspondent of the Burlington Free Press
 writes that he knows of many merchants I who are reluctant to make the re- quired inventory of thir personal estate, alleg- ing that it would be damaging to their credit to

That which friend Vance "ne0er

is nevertheless, very cleverly advocated
in his leader to>day-not only in fact,
but in esprit" as well.

kaaoao that Hon, VIM. H. Howell ''would
make an admirable and a strong candi-
date for Sheriff" and would probably be
delighted to see him elected to that
position. a good. many good Republicans
strongly suspect that the notice in the

would be well for him to adyise
his friends whether or not he
would"accept the nomination if rendered

already developed itself to good many
