The Power of - snowdrif,.

Appleton ipNl,
Tie Northwestern Railway Company
has over 100000 in the fight against
SNOW since October last. Thirty four
immense snow pIough- have had plenty
of work, and these have bceu backed up
tremendously ~ from two to SIX locomo-
tiyes each. Ihtnight ofthese plough. and
the great power OF snowdiift may be-
estimated from the facts that oug plough
weighing $4,000 pound, ballasted by
s00a9 pounds IF railway iron and driven
by six locomotives, attacked snow
clicked cutting, but was defeated. Thu
drift was 80 feet high. When the work
men, after the tremendous charge, caught
glimpse Of the immense plough, they
found that it, with all it, l2s 900 pounds.
had been repelled as il it We're feather,
and that it had rolled li.consolately over
the drift and had lodged against some
forest trees, where it proposes to remain
until summer. From one cut pa, 900
cubic yards of snow were taken, but in
| eight hours the wind had piled it up full
again. Nine thousand men have been
employed from time to time during the
winter as shoyelers.

We do not see that the smyrna Times

~aid before concerning increased repre-
-entatiou, and ii seems to rs vpry con-
fused i'll its id+as rs 10 the way in which
the equal representation Of the states in
the 'nited States Senate was fixed. Tie
fact that the constitutional provision
relates Ia states since admitted, does not
change the fact that the arrangement was
one Of compact. The original states de-
manded equal representation for them
selves in the Senate a, condition Of
forming any union at ali, but it was very
natural HAT in forming Il constitution
they should make the provision apply to
all states that might be admitted in the
future. We do not see how they could
have done anything else and maintained
the advantage for which they We're CON
tending But, W. insist thai there is no
similarity between their case and that Of
the several putnties iii state.

Bismarck has salary of sl5, 900 as
Chancellor OF the German empire. He
also has II horses in his stables. Pur-
suant to recent law, tax OF about 10
cents for each of the horses was levied
upon him, the total amount of the assess
ment being tribe over dollar. He re-
turned Il protest against the tax ON the
ground that he only owned 10 horses.
The number oil horses tor which he had
been assessed had been furnished by his
own employers. His demand for reduc-
ton was denied. This incident was not
unlike one that had happened before.
Bismarck house had been assessed by
the municipal authorities at 1000, and
Il tax of $3.50 had been imposed upon it,
lie entered a protest against the valuation
of the property, al the same time accusing
the officials By whom it had been made Of
partially and hostile discrimination
agoinst him for reasons Of political ennity
This charge has been Indignantly repealed,
and the payment Of tax enforced. Bis
narck was evidently yet smarting under
the house tax controversy when tho horse
tax was imposed.
