OvER-TAXATION DISCOVERED.


"The English are making the discOv-
cry of an injustice which was discOv-
cred hundred and ten years ago by
certain sturdy Republicans in Boston.
That is "that taxation without repre-
sentatiOn" Is wrong to which no man
should submit. The English democracy
is finding out that it has no representa-
ton. English and Scotch wOrkingmen
have only four representatives in the
House of Commons. The intelligent
manhood will not submit to this Unjust
ice. There is an organization in Eng
land which demands naturalization
of that land for the people,"
Mr.. Davitt spoke of the abolition of
feudal tenure in England as in the rest
of Europe. This was done by the higher
or governing classes, and continued:
This action Is logical Justification
of the working classes to their claim
for naturalization of land through
out Europe, first in Ireland, but in Eng
land, too, and on the Continent. The
tendency of everything is to bury the
remains of the feudal system. This
was started in Ireland, and Ireland will
soon invite England to come to the fu-
neral, and we believe that England will
come and then she will have large ma
tiOnal funeral of her own. All cOndi-
tiOns tend to the political supremacy of
industry. By and by Industrial orders
see that politics should be administered
by people for a people, and not by
class for a class"
THE AGITATION IN ENGLAND.
Mr.. Davitt, continuing, said that the
agitation now going on in England was
a movement in favor of home rule and
free speech against ancient feudalism
and usurpatiOn of power. The victory
would not be won by the use of violent
language or by open attack against the
Government. He denounced COmmu-
nistic speeches, and said that success
over the despOtic sway of Great Britain
could only be obtained by an honest
and hand fight of the right over might.
Mr.. Dayitt then read an extract from
the opinions of Mr.. Wendell Phillips,
quoting among other things the follow
ing: "The false ideas of Justice have
taken such hold upon the minds of men
that those who suffer most are unable
to see the cause of their wrong, and so
far do their prejudices govern them
that they consider as public enemies
those who would reform the existing
order of things. Therefore society will
never be free from the influence grow
ing out of its stereOtyped laws until
those who perceive the truth determine
to assault it notwithstanding they NAV
meet opposition, and their efforts are
rewarded with poverty and scOrn."
After referring to his acquaintance
with the present labor agitation in

Ninth Crnsadn AnniyersnrH.

The celebration of the ninth anniversary
of the Woman's Temperance Crusade in
Hillsboro, took place at the NJ. E. Church
last Sabbath evening and took the form of
Union services. Rev. Dr. Starr presided
and the choirs of the NJ E. and Presbyter-
ian churches furnished the music. The
church was comfortably filed. The pro-
gramme, as carried out, embraced recita-
tions by a couple of little girls, addresses
by Mrs. E, j. Thompson and DR.. Starr.
DR.. McSurely entertained his hearers with
an encouraging historical review of the
Temperance work in Hillsboro during the
past ten years. The fact that the first Cru.
sade band left his church to go forth tc
their work gave additional zest to his re.
marks collection was taken up for the
benefit of the W. G. T. U. at this place.

ROBBERY ON THE RAMPAGE.
MASKED MEN AT DAVID HILLS.
CHARLEY MENDENHALL AND JAMES
NEWMAN UNDER ARREST.

OHAGlIE1 MkNDENE1AIL AMI JhNAAAD
NEWMAN UNDER ARREST.
Scarcely had the public excitement aris-
ing from the bold robbery by masked men
Of Mr.. David link, Of near Russell's, in
this county, died away than the public
were again startled at the news Of another
robbery equally bold and successful, Mr.
David Hill who resides about three miles
north of Hillsboro, being the victim. No
clue has as yet been found as to who COM
mitted the link robbery, unless it should
be found in the investigation Of the Hill
robbery.
On Thursday of last week Mr.. Hill dis
posed of some cattle and departed for his
home with the proceeds. About eight
o'clock he had call from two men mask
ed who with the muzzle of revolvers point
ed at his head demanded his pocket-book,
This he was induced after a little delay to
part with and as it contained some $500 in
money the booty was no mean stake. Har-
ry Hill and two younger brothers, sons of
Mr.. Hill were in bed. Harry arose and did
not seem frightened at the ugly surround
ings. He seems to be able to identify one
of the parties as Charley Mendenhall who
has since been arrested. James Newman
has also been arrested as the accomplice of
Mendenhall and the officers who have charge
of the matter-which was promptly report
| cd tO tbem-cIoim that thew will be able to
make case against both. The prelimina-
ny examination of Mendenhal and Newman
was held before Squire J. B. Woorley yes
terday at the Court House where a dense
crowd was in attendance. Mr.. Uric Sloane
appeared for the defendants, and r. II.
Hough Esq, appeared on behalf of the
State. At five o'clock yesterday the exami.
nation was continued until this morning.

A Christmas Gift.

For several years The London Graphic
and the London Illustrated News have each
sent out a costly Pictorial Christmas Num-
Der which has been eagerly bought by the
people at large in both hemispheres; and
these great pictorials have come to be re-
garded as a part of Christmas, and are con-
sidered very suitable and much-to-be-cov-
eted Christmas gifts.
This year Americans have taken up the
idea, and the two largest houses in the
book-trade, Messrs. D. Lothrop & Co., of
Boston, and Harper and Brothers, of New
York, have each sent out Christmas"
that far excels anything that London pub
fishers have ever attempted. There is a
greater refinement and beauty in the illus
tratious, and the stories, poems and articles
are all high-class literature Both are in
simple ''black and white" but it is said
that the letter-press and illustrations of the
Lothrops' Christmas - the Christmas
WIDE AWAKE Dec. No.)-cost over $1O,-
600, and that authors and artists, here and
abroad, have been busy for year in its
preparation; and the result is well summed
up by the Boston Transcript, when it says
'The holiday number of Wide Awake, Just
out, is the wonder of all the wonderfully
beautiful children's magazines and books
of America. Without dispute, the largest,
handsomest, most artistic and best number
of a young peoples periodical ever issued. ."
Bound in a new cover in colors, pronounced
the finest magazine cover in existence, il
contains 144 pages and $50 pictures. OF
the letter-press the Boston Traveller says
mo such store of high-class literature was
ever gathered into one number of any
periodical before;" and the critic of the
Boston Times says of the illustrations
'They are genuine works of art, some Of
them exquisitely ideal;" and the Boston
journal adds, enumerating the authors
Mrs. A. D. I. Whitney, Miss Phelps, Rose
Terry Cooke, Margaret Sidney, Rose Kings
ley, Mrs Mary D. Brine, Arthur Gilman
George Gary EggIeston, Celia Thaxter
Edward E. Hale, NJ. E. B., Mrs. Clar,
Doty Bates, Nora Perry, Mrs Diaz, Fred
A. Ober, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Christina Rossetd, Mrs. Mulock- Craik
Philip Bourke Marston, Susan Coolidge
Marion Harland, Margaret j. Preston, Prof
D. A. Sargent, and a dozen or twenty others
''This is brilliant galaxy to be got to
gether between the covers of a single mum
Der Of a young peoples magazine, AM
when Santa Claus understands that thi
richly laden number can be bought 70
twenty-five cents, it would not be strang
if he were to order a special edition for hi
twenty y-hfth-of-De3ember uses;' and W
ourselves would add that should this nun
Der Of the Wide Awake be examined b
parents who feel anxious to put into til
hands Of their young folks a magazine {
high literature as pure and stimulating as
is gay and entertaining, they would secui

Mr.. EDITOR Please give me space in
the columns of your excellent paper to re-
ply to an item which appeared sometime
since in your Emerald correspondence, in
reference to Jake Fling, stating that he
walked up and paid his hundred dollars
like little man. That it was manyihe,
admit for then truth was concealed honor
tarnished, and an effort made to crush and
break down the standing and character of
an innocent young man by misrepresenta-
ton and false accusations, but time, as it
uufolds the secrets of the guilty, and re-
morse gnawing at the heart will allow truth
to arise and assert her right and p werl
over all dark, foul crimes. Then it is that he
receives at their hands the money back
again, and only hopes that the guilty may
get barely justice, for truth crushed must
and win rise, but ''error wounded writhes
in pain, and dies among its worshipers" p"
Then arise connections, tumult, evil fore
bodings and surmise, in the hearts of the
guilty, and ON their faces is written re-
morse, wretchedness and woe.
