The Dog Tax.

The dog-tax law is again up before
the Ohio Legislature. A bill was in
troduced on Saturday providing that
where any damage is done by the kill
ing or wounding of sheep, the trustees
of the township shall hold semi-annual
sessions, on the second Monday OF
April and October each year, for the
purpose of auditing and adjusting
claims for sheep killed or wound
ed, when such complaints are sup
ported by the affidavits of two COM
petent witnesses, and they will have
power to summon witnesses to testify
as to the value of the sheep killed OF
damaged,
The amount allowed will be paid out
of the county treasury, from the fund
created for that purpose. viz: by the
per capita tax on dogs. Ifany surplus
remains after the claims have all been
paid, it shall be distributed as provided
by law, except in Cuyahoga county,
where so much of the excess as may
be required shall be appropriated to
the support of industrial schools and
children's homes. t
There are many men who believe
this whole dog-tax business to be in
open defiance of the provision of the
Constitution which requires all prop
erty in this State to be taxed by q
uniform rule" and at its " true value
in money"

Small POx in Chicago.

CHICAGO, January 2O.-The health
officers Of the city are fast becoming
alarmed at the prevalence and growth
of small pox in the city limits. The
deaths too day were five, and new cases
seven. The officers state that although
both pest houses are full to overflow
ing not one-twentieth of the cases are
known to the authorities. Storekeep-
ers carefully hide in their houses and
stores the cases which break out there,
lest the knowledge of them drives
away trade. and in this way the disease
is spread by wholesale, despite the
most unlimited free use of vaccine
points, which now amounts to LOCO
per day. The country towns continue
to send their victims hither, and in
coming patients in searching for the
health office mingle with citizens on
the streets and frequently get into the
wrong places. The state board have
reports of eighteen new cases in the
state today.

ual.,ead ON the stalwarts.

Your true Stalwart is apt to be a
great blackguard. He is also very
fond of calling people towards when
they are not personally present. 1t
was COnkling's point that Garfield had
broken his word and was timid, just az
it was Chandler's outcry that Hayes
was cowardly, and all that. Perhaps
in the worst days of the slave power
it had braggart representatives as
coarse, offensive and vicious, as full of
vulgar pomp and vile pretense, as the
so called Stalwart gang, but there has
been no other crowd in this country
who so richly merited public contempt.
The Stalwarts have. in morals and
manners, in aJtainments and audacity,
close resemblance to the ringsters
who surrounded Louis Napoleon, when
he became Emperor, and wasted the
resources of France until they tum.

. IF there are any Half-breeds SO ver-
dant as to think that there will be
anything lying around loose for them
during ,Arthur's administration they
should read the Washington Republic
can, the organ of the present adminis-
tration, should 'dispel the delusion.
The editor OF the Republican-Gor-
ham-it will be remembered, was the
mouth piece of President Arthur in
defining the position of his admins
tration on the reputation movement
in Virginia. The Republican in no.
ticing the resignation of Postmaster
General. James, takes occasion to give
him the following parting shot:
He has fed! We may now pause to
contemplate that arrant humbug who
covered among us like some craven
renegade whose perfidy averted the
glance his notOriety attracted. He
knew no motive but his own glOrifica-
ton acknowledged no criterion but
newspaper notice he worshipped no
idol but notoriety, and with heathen
devotion he bowed down before SLAM
derer Gibson. There was no friend
whom he did not decsive; there was
no scOundrel whom he did not embrace.
Pretending honesty, he cOnsOrted with
thieves protesting economy, he prac-
ticed extravaganza; and in the name
of reform he accepted without reason
and retained without shame an office
which he mismanaged. The whole
country sJoou amazed at his promises
and degraded by his performances.
Honesty hung its head in his presence;
candor was unknown in his office
blackmailers were his companions,a and
false dealing was his practice slander
assumed the air Of history there was
nothing too low for him to do nor too
shameful for him to advocate.

THE Stark County ps1fsefat. snaak..

ing of Gen. Jackson, says:
Jackson also did several things to
entitie him to the gratitude Of patristic
Americans. He clesed the war of 1872
at New Orleans in blaze of glory, by
tnrS<,ning the British armys1n way
not often done. He also crushed out
the National United States Bank, and
and paid off the national debt during
his administration. He was the NOR
tai foe of monopoly and injustice. He
was opposed to the general government
being run in the interest of the priv
ileged few that they might rob and
plunder honest labor. Hence, he op-
posed protective tariff schemes and
national bank schemes, and monopoly
and piunder in general. - 49,
But for all that, you can hardly find
a monopolist and advocate of special
privileges in all this broad land who
doesn't profess great admiration for the
old Hero of the Hermitage, and If he
is old enough to have lived in those
stirring times he will claim to-. have
been an "original jackson man. y
though he then denounced the incor.
ruptible old patriot as tyrant fol
crushing Nick Biddle's monster, and
opposing the schemes of the money
power and privileged orders. Tbeil
word for it, and the entire Republican
party who lived in those days were the
warm and devoted friends of old Hick-
ory, though in their advocacy of mo-
nOpoly and special privileges they have
made wide departure from the great
principles of equality and justice which
he made the rule of his public, life.

senator YES, o. sh c rn am. Bill.

Mr.. Vest in the course of his speech
referred to the financial Legislation of
Congress, particularly to the act re-
monetizing silver, and argued there
from, that, but for the Democrats, the
Republicans would have annihilated
the greenback currency. in order to
give the monopoly of the currency OF
the National banks. He suggested the
propriety of the purchase by the Gov
ernment of all the silver bullion it
could get, and the issue of Government
notes or silver certificates based there
on, in lieu of National Bank currency.
He spoke of the plethora of money i'm
the Treasury and our large surplus of
revenues yearly, as showing there was
no necessity for Il funding bill at this
time, and as a further illustration of
the correctness of his assumption that
the great object was to perpetuate the
debt and continue the banks indefi-
nitely. He closed by reading an ex-
tract from the veto message of Presi-
dent Jackson in relation to the United
States bank, and upon resuming his
seat was warmly applauded by the
members on the Democratic side.

NEW YORK, January 13.-R. G. Dun
& Company of the Mercantile Agency
report the failures throughout the
country for the past seven days as 2O3,
the largest number in any week for
more than twelve months. The rea-
son for the increase probably is that a
large number of persons insolvent to-
wards the end of 1851, for various rea-
SONS have contrived to hold over till
after the opening of the new year and
are now trying to compromise, and

On Saturday, in the Ohio Legisla-

which provides that the real estate

Bright and Golden were inaugurated
by Peel and are now supported by
Gladstone, with the results l have al
ready pointed out. What a contrast
the true state of the case presents to
the distorted presentation of them as
made by the senator from Vermont,
and how proudly the present condition
of England compares with the "Au-
GUSTAV age, or from Queen Anne down
throughout the Georgian era and the
policy maintained by Chatham" ETC.,
who is quoted by the senator as saying
"lf America makes a stocking or a
horse nail, / would advise that she be
made to feel the whole weight of Eng

man in America feel the whole weight
of congress if he dare to buy stock ing

tribute to his protected pets.

Wagons loaded with the various pro-
ducts Of Utah industries are constantly
passing through the gate into the tith-

lawsrequires that one-tenth of all the
things produced by the labor of the

and the compliance is in the main
honest, though attempts at shirking
are occasionally detected. Theannual
income from this source is kept Sc
cret by the rulers, but has been esti-

their recovery, and assures them that

IT will be remembered that about a
year ago, certain friends of General
Grant in the East raised fund of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
which was to be invested in such a
way as to place the ex-President in a
comfortable financial condition. And
now comes the sequel, which is to the
effect that the money was invested in
stocks. which, under the recent furry
in the stock markets, have shrunk to
such degree as to make the invest
ments comparatively worthless. This
fact, it is said is what explains the effort
in congress to put Gen. Grant on the
retired list, at 81, 900 year.

IT is reported that the committee on
Elections in the House will unani-
m,usly report in favor of Cannon, the
Mormon Delegate from Utah.
JUDGE PORTER commenced his ar
gument in the Guiteau case on Mon
day, and by the end of the week a de-
cision will be reached in the matter.
Commissioner of Pensions rules that
where a soldier i'm the late war was
captured and sent to rebel prison and
never afterward heard of, his death
shall be presumed and his heirs may
recover arrears of pensions.
GUITEAU says that when the proper

By the census we learn that in June
1880, there were 6,7SO,OOO persons of
foreign birth in the United States.
This number has been increased since
then to not less than 100000 by inn
migration, not allowing for the NOR
tality. In 1850 Massachusetts, had
443, ,49l foreigners in a population OF
J, 1,7S3, ,0S5-a ratio of about one in four.
New York's total figure was 5,0S2 ,s7I,
and the foreigners numbered ,2II $40.
The ratio of foreign to native in New
York was, therefore, very nearly the
came as in Massachusetts,. PennsyI-
vania has total of A, 4,2s2, ,s9l, and the
foreign born numbered only 5s7, 500, or
about half the proportion in Massa-
chusetts and New York. Illinois, with
a population of 3, OF, ,s71, had almost as
large foreign element as Pennsylva-
mia, the number being 523, $40.

OUR systems of religion, law and
social pOlity, are all founded upon a
radical misconceptiOn of human ma
ture, character and responsibility
This is why all these systems are so
full of glaring absurdities and contra
dictiOns. No man or woman ever was
or ever will be a whit more free moral
agent, as it is phased, than the little
streamlet that issues from the noun
tain side and winds its way to the sea.
The Almighty only is vested with that
supremely independent attribute. The
time will come when to assert that the
will of man is an isolated, independent
sovereignty, superior to circumstance
and not within the domain of law will
be regarded as the rankest blasphemy.

OUR wise legislators are hammering
away at the liquor question again this
winter. Among the propositions upon
the subject is a bill similar to the one
known as the Pond Bill of last winter.
1t proposes the levy of tax on the
sale of liquors of 500 for townships,
$50 for villages, $500 for third class
cities. $3.50 for second class, and $500
first class cities. In local option local
tiles no tax is levied if the sale of liq-
uors is voted to be prohibited. There
is very little or no measure being
adopted that will put a stop to the
traffic. But watch and wait.

Mr.. Bergh, the humanitarian. has
come out savagely against vaccination.
He says: "In the period of less than
one hundred years that have elapsed
since the introduction of this practices
millions upon millions of sound and
healthy human beings have been in
Oculated with the most loathsome pes
thence, doomed to carry to the grave
bodies wasted by consumption or
marred and deformed by scrofula, can
Ger and innumerable other ills. Will
ling1y would the writer diIate upon
these broad and tragic aspects of the
question if thereby he could hope to
alarm the reader into realization of
the direful consequences resulting
from his own tacit sanction of the fatal
system but he prefers to let official
statistics speak for themselves" On
the other hand most experienced and
learned physicians in the country
claim that vaccination is an effective
means of preventing the spread OF
small pox, and that where pure matter
is employed no danger can arise from
the practice.
