Which Shall 1t Bet
Editors NearS IE Citizen

Editors NeaUS &c Citizen:
AS [ am about the country consider
ably, l am not only amused but much
pleased at the spirit that generally
animate the public mind at this time
concerning the matter of equal taxa
ten. | say that l am pleased, be-
cause l am satisfied that there is great
need of some wise legislation touching
upon this point. And secondly, be-
cause through agitation the public
mind becomes more enlightened and
better educated in the general prin-
ciples of good government. Ev-
erybody is interested more or less,
and hence W h T two or three
are gathered there the subject comes
up. There are not less than two par
ties that are affected. One party
wants, as usual, to evade taxation
the other expects to pay on all they
have, but wants to pay only what is
honestly and fairly their proportion to
the government. Now if everybody
were honest, there would be no
trouble i n adjusting this matter
amicably and satisfactorily to all.
Each one in this case would go to
work and make out their honest list as
far as possible, and pay accordingly.
But as the human family has not yet
arrived at that advanced state, we
must, for the present, put our trust in
the law and its execution for the great
ly needed reform in this department of
our social compact of living together.
And now, He opus. He labor est.
How to make law that will reach the
whole case, is the great question. 1t
is going to tax our illegal fraternity"
to its utmost capacity. And yet
believe it will be done sometime. AL
though our legislature failed in getting
up an act fully to meet the require
ments of the case in its first attempt,
they may do better next time. But
if it should appear that our legislature
does not possess the requisite amount
of talent to cope with the arduous du-
ties devolving upon them, under the
present mode of elections, then l
propose one of two schemes for the
State to pursue. Either to elect its
members some month or so before the
time for the assembly to convene at
the Capitol, and in the meantime at
tend school of drill in parliamentary
usages and illegal lore" under the
tutelage of a competent corps Of
legal teachers, or, to appoint GER
tain number of legal gentleman to
meet with the legislature and help
frame a code of laws to meet the
emergency, and then make them re-
sponsible for their acts.
And now, without a shadow of
believe that the subject
of equal taxation is of such colossal
that it becomes the duty
of the American people to take hold
of it with such Ujm and determine
ton as to insure complete success in
framing a law or laws that shall meet
the requirements of this complicated
case, and compel, f need be,
each individual bear his or her just
proportionate part of the burdens of
the government. JovE.

The BUSINESS OUTLooK.-The n.
Y. Times, with its usual enterprise,
recently gave its readers a review of
the business outlook in the United
States. Some fifteen columns were
used for the purpose, and they con-
tanned carefully collected facts from
special correspondents in thirty-five
cities, centers of business in twenty
five different states. The outlook gen
orally is good, though the spring trade
is hardly as brisk as was expected,
owing to the la.eness of the season
and the floods in the South. The
manufacturing interests, with few ex-
ceptions, are fourishing, and while
profits are not large, the products are
in good demand. Altogether, the re-
ports show that business generally is
on more healthy foundation than in
recent years, being more conservative
and steady, and marked by mo "booms"
or general speculative excitement
Money, with few exceptions, is easy
for legitimate investment. Collections
are generally good, and there is little
prospect of disastrous failures. The
prospects for a large fall trade are
unusually good, though depending, of
course, somewhat on the crops.

The Town System of Schools.

We publish the following testimony
of secretaries of the Massachusetts,
Board of Education relative to the
town system of schools:
AS a general fact, the schools in the I'M
districted towns are greatly superior to
those in districted towns Horace Mann.
Ii is unquestionably true that the best
schools are found where the district sys-
tem does not exist.-[Geo. S. Boutwell,.
cannot resist the conviction that a
cludid and business-like examination of
the district system in towns where it still
prevails. with especial reference to its
TWO qualities of eXDensiyeness and inef-
ficiency. would result in speedy and final
abandonment of it. Joseph White.
There appears to be no sufficient rea-
son for longer continuance of the dis
trict system in the State. II opposes the
improvement of our schools, while it in
ereases the expense of their support. As
a fact, the schools III towns where the
district system still holds are. on the
