Democracy and the Colore,l Laborer

Democracy and the COloreSl LabOrer.
EDS. NEWS: was yesterday talking
with colored man from Topeka, who
men of that place have been persuaded
to vote against st. John for the follow
ing reasons:
LIST. That st. John was going to take
away all constitutional exemptions as
to their taxable property SO that if a
man had so much as q dollars worth of
property he would pay a tax on it.
ID. That prohibition, if successfully
carried out, would deprive the city of
Topeka of large annual revenue, say
SIC, GOO, and that would all come off the
laboring man, making taxes alarmlngly
high with no benefit in return.
I soon satisfied him that governor
had nothing to do with matters of taxa
tion so that there only remained the ques-
ton of saloon revenue to be considered
He readily admitted that a great many
1aboring men Ind no taxes 10 pay. except
a road tax which they must pay regard
less of the question of license. but said
there were still many who had to pay
tax on, say 500, and he thought
with the saloons closed and paying no
revenue, such tax would be considerable
Suppose the saloons in Topeka pay a
revenue to the city of $4,000. That
means that there is spent in Topeka for
drinks $500, 900, which is first paid by
some one. Suppose the patrons of sa-
looms should quit drinking and pay to
the city $4,000 to take the place of IL
cense money, they would have left
$4,000 for other purposes. Again.
Estimating the value of taxable proper
ty in Topeka at q, 600, 900, the man who
reports $500 of property and subtracts
his $500 exemption has 500 left for
taxation, and would pay of that $4,000
the immense sum of twenty-five cents.
Surprising a man-what would be true
in many cases-takes three drinks per
day OF cheap whisky at 10 cents drink,
he would pay in a year 4IO950. If
there were NO liquors to be had he
would save this money, and after paying
his 25 cents to make up his tax to take
the place of the saloon money. he would
have left for his family $10925. This
takes no account of the time be loses.
Suppose the artist John men try
something else. They are unfortunate
whenever they tackle taxation. If hon.
est, they would, like their brethren in
Ohio. declare for free whisky.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A brakeman on the A. T. 8 S. f. Rail

A Brakeman on the A. T. & S. f. Rail-
road Badly AEangIed by Freight
Train Friday.
Friday morning about o'clock
shocking accident befell Ed. Fielder,
brakeman on the A. T. & s. F. freight
train, while in the act of making a
coupling at the switch lock on the north
siding, between Commercial and Me-
chanics street. The unfortunate mans
foot got caught in the frog of the
switch in some way and held him fast.
He signaled to the engineer TO stop, but
the signal went unheeded, as the latter,
it seems, did not see it. The man was
knocked down and the left thigh was
grazed by the car wheels, making a
painful flesh wound. A woman stand
ing near the coal shed only a
few yards away saw the man knocked
| down and screamed at the top of her
| voice, and in an instant two or three
stone cutters on the opposite side of the
| railroad ran to the rescue. The man
was being dragged along the while, try
ing to extricate himself from his peril
Gus position. But by the time his res
cuers, Nelson Jetty and G. NJ. Albertson
got to him two wheels of a heavily
loaded box car had passed over his left
leg just below the knee, MASKING il
to pulp. In another instant
two more wheels would have passed
over him near the middle of the
body, had it not been for the alertness Of
the gentlemen above mentioned. The
wounded man was carried on stretchel
to the waiting room of the A., T. s. S. F
depot, where he was visited by Drs. ia
cobs and Biddle. His agony while he
lay there was terrible, and host o.
sympathizing people gathered round
He was removed 10 the fremont house
as soon as arrangements could be made
About three O'Clock that afternoon the
leg SO badly mangled was amputated a
the knee, the operation being performed
by DR.. Jacobs, assisted by Drs. Moore
Hibben and Biddle. The patient had
to be put under the influence of chloro
form. When the wound on the LETT les

the discovery in the French Academy

contents. They can easily be rem

acid, but otherwise it is difficult to
detect them in the corpuscles. They
look like necklace of black beads,
with one or more projections. which
penetrate the cell of the corpuscles,
and oscilate or move like whips.

The Biggest Find Yet.

H. H. McColley arrived in town
this week from Willow Creek, and
though ordinary q cool man, he was
somewhat excited. He says d. Nc
Pheters, of Spring City, has been
prospecting near Willow Creek late
ly, and few days ago found ledge
between Willow Creek and Fiat
Creek, which so far as prospected,
excels in size and richness anything
in the mining line ever found in this
part of the State. The ledge has
been uncovered at right angles with
its course, and it is known to be 81
feet wide. Holes have been sunk at
intervals for 800 feet along its course
and the character of the ore is the
same as far as prospected. The ore
carries free god and considerable
silver. Pieces of the ore pounded in
mortar and PANIED out, show it to
be rich in gold; and the indications
are that Willow Creek will 500 rank
among the best mining camps in
Nevada SiIver State.
