Farwell says that he is high-tarif man,
 but he thinks such law as he proposes is necessity ''It will not interfere" he says,
 with industries of MT. Roach or of the Del aware shipyards for the simple reason that they cannot build ships of that class at price which will induce American capitalists to en- bark in such enterprises. l know case in point that happened recently. Boston shipmaster had in mind, in connection with some New York capitalists, to build certain kind of steamship. The plans and specified tions were made and submitted to John Roach. The lowest figure at which Mir. Roach could build it was $250, GOO. The shipmaster took the same specifications and had the ship built on the Clyde for $100, 900, but he was compelled to go before British board and prove that he was capable of run ming his own ship. He then obtained Brit ish certificate, wore a British uniform and sailed under the British flag, with a British registry, and he did not like it. This illus tration is one great advantage of this bill. It would make an opening for American capital, and we would see our flag on the seas once

Sunday Railroad Trains.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoUK1zR:
 In your report of the annual stockholders' meeting of the Consolidated road held on Wednesday, January 11th, it will be remem- bered that mention was made of the part taken in the proceedings by Mir. John Ben jamin, of Milford. He simply repeated the programme of the past three years in stand ing up before the assembled propristors of the road and protesting in his humble but earnest way against the extensive freight business prosecuted by the company on the Lords day.
 This gentIeman's repeated appearance in the meeting year after year has seemed 10 be most unwelcome. He is too much like q Daniel come to judgment. reminding the cor poration of the laws of Him whose authority cannot be defied with impuuitY-
 It is true that grave difficulties stand In5ss way of a reform, even in the minds of those most kindly disposed toward t; and we need the solidEprinciple and practical sense of our best people to help us solve the problem. The company may talk of the ne cessity of running freight trains on Sunday for the prevention of the accumulation of merchandise at any one point, and the &C., commodation of traffic in perishable goods, and all that, but what have they to say about the law of God, which plainly forb;ds the doing of all such work on the Sabbath or about the rights of God fearing people along the line of the road, whose services Of d. vine worship are seriously disturbed by the practice in question? I have no doubt that the president of the Consols5a- ted road is very estimable gentleman, and I sure be is 8 very able lawyer, but even he cannot afford to plead any spacious reasons in extenuatiOn of such an offense as this I can inform him and all who endorse his position that many of New Haven's best citizens disagree with them. And it is certain that the public ssn- timent of the Christian people throughout the State is arrayed as a unit against this &C., ton. The petition which received such treatment at the stockholders meeting is to be vigorously pushed and will doubtless in due time give good report of itself before the Legislature. Meanwhile let all the friends of the Sabbath agitate the subject, remembering not only the sacredness of the day for which we are contending, but also the right of the employees of our railroads, men who feel more deeply than we imagine the deprivation of one day in seven for physical rest.
 I am told Gf it be a mistake beg to be ~ corrected) that no Sunday freight trains are allowed to run in England. If this be true it shames us.
 Hoping that you, MT. JOURNAL AND CoUB- TER, will cooperate in this movement, l re- main yours truly, G. H. GRIFFIN.

Why Mfss Belle Clinton Expects to be
 Worth sa5. .oeo In Ten Years.
 IChicago Tribune Des Moines Letter.J
 The smartest girl I've met in Iowa met at Nevada, Story county, northwestern Iowa Miss Belle Clinton. Miss Clinton is s bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl of about 90, as full of fun and health and vigor as good girl can be. Two years ago Miss Clinton was 8 school teacher. Saving up by her teaching about SI6O, she last spring bor- rowed a span O horses from her father, rigged up prairie schooner" and, taking her little brother, started for Dakota Miss Clinton says, laughingly, speaking of her trip: ''Why, I never lived so nicely in my life, and never had such an appetite, Erd- such courtesy received everywhere Rough, rude men would come to our camp, and, after had talked to them awhile, offer to build my fire and bring water to me. We went up through the wheat country. which they call the Jim river country It's about 100 miles east from the Missouri at Fort Sully. I homesteaded 160 acres of land Then took up timber claim of 1e0 acres more.n
 What is timber claim ?''
 "Why. hired man, and we set out ten acres of trees. This gave me 16o acres more So have 32O acres now But must tell you about those trees. They were young locust, apple and black walnut sprouts sowed peck of locust beans, a pint of apple seed and two bushels of black walnut in our garden in Iowa year ago. These sprouts were little fellows and we could set them out fast-just go along and stick them in the ground. But they are just good. be- lieve my 5000 little black walnut sprouts will be worth S15 apiece in Zen years and SEQ apiece in fifteen. My locuststrees vin some time fence the whole county"
 ''Then what did you de?"
 "We built shanty and broke up five acres of land, and this fall we came back to Iowa to spend the winter, and here we are. In the spring I'll go back with more black val nut and locust sprouts and take up 160 acres more. sThe trees are just what I want to plant anyway, and they'll pay better than any wheat crop that can be raised-only I've got to wait for them ten or twelve years but car wait"
 Here is girl who owns in her own right 320 acres of splendid black prairie soil now, and who will own 4S0 acres in the spring. every acre of which will bring S5 within three ysars and $1O within five years and twenty within ten years. Her black walnut and locust trees will be worth as much more. At 30 she will be worth $25, ,O00.

A
 The people of Massachusetts are about ready for some reform, or, at least, change, in their system of taxation and Senator Hastings, of Worcester, who has long and deeply studied the subject of taxation, has introduced bill which provides for a more searching and inquisitorial tax law than has ever been in force in Massachusetts.
 After making provision for deducting from taxable personal property the net indebted ness of persons to be taxed, and also the amount of securities exempt from taxation, the bill provides that the assessors shall re- quire of every irbabitant of their respective places list of their personal and real estate in detail, with all exemptions and deductions. The lists shall contain answers to searching interrogatories to be framed by the secretary of the commonwealth and furnished to the assessors, and shall be sworn to by the tax payer in the following comprehensive man. ner: "I --, of -, do sol emnly swear Tor affirm that the above is a full, true and correct list and description of all my taxable property, that l have set down only such debts as I am uncondition- ally bound to pay, that have not included in my indebtedness any liability on account of being an endorser surety for another, that my answer to all the foregoing interro- gations are correct, and that I have not conveyed or disposed of any property or estate in any manner, or created any fcti- tious debt for the purpose of evading the provisions of the law or affecting the amount and value of my taxable estate. So help me God" If any person willfully omits to bring in to the assessors the list of his prop erty, as required by law, or to answer any interrogatory in said list, or makes false answer or statement, then the assessors shall ascertain as nearly as may be the amount of the taxable property of such person, and shall appraise the same at it's fair cash value, and twice the amount of said appraisal shall be the amount assessable to such persons. Something of this kind has been done in Yer mont.
 This bill is appropriately called an iron clad one. The inquiry provided for is very strict, the oath is far reaching and the pen atty of double taxation is severe enough. Whether such law would work much bet ter than the one now in use cannot of course be told until it is tried. The Worcester Spy is evidently doubtful about it, for it says: ''To honest tax payers these may be serious terrors, but to the dishonest, or, those with elastic consciences or ingenious in casuistry, the difficulty of evading them will not be formidable. Honest taxpayers do not shirk their obligations now; some of those who are less scrupulous might be for time con- strained by the vigorous provisions of such law as this, but familiarity would soon de- prive it of it's terrors. It is doubtful, also, whether the provision for double taxation is within the authority of the Legislature. The constitution authorizes only equal or propor- tional taxation, and warrant can hardly be found in it for taxing any man on twice the estimated value of his property"

 With your editorial on the Indian question before the people it may interest some to hear what is being done by and for the Choc- taws. This Nation of upwards of 17,O00 souls, and regularly constituted govern ment, has about forty schools, with several academies. It also supports number of students at leading colleges in the State They are indeed beginning to show a hunger for education," and would beg leave to dwell upon this point.

on st the Roanoke College Twelve years ago young fellow by the name of Jackson: wrote a quaint letter to this school. which was soon. followed by his per sonal appearance. Jackson was moi able to remain at Roanoke longer than two years; but be went back to his people with new love in his heart. The president a man of the Franche type. made deep impress in fact, Jackson seemed generally pleased Since his return (smong other positions) he has occupied seat in the Choctaw Senate and through his personal influence the gov ernment was moved to send other young men to the college. In 1876 (EhiIe your writer was himself student at Ro4noks) Hon. Edmund McCartier, the superintendent of public instruction of the ChoctsE nation, brought eight Indians Cfull- -bloods and half breeds) for the faculty to work upon cannot stop here to dwell upon details of af- ter experience. Last Commencement one of these first eight graduated with flying eoIors. I have near me his speech on the ffWants of the South, which won for the speaker the medal in oratory over four other anxious contestants. CAt this point I should like myself to speak of the Wants of the South especially with reference to Roanoke Col lege. But must stick to my text-)

 A word more about Mr. Wright, of whom I have spoken The Roanoke C0llegian for December says that he is perhaps the abIest Indian of the Choctaw Nation. He was a member of the late Pan-Presbyterian council of Philadelphia. He is a regular gradu- ate of Union College and Seminary New York. Besides discharging the regular duties of a Presbyterian minister, he was formerly and for several years Governor of the Nation. The Collsgidn also adds in another place, that ''Our forefathers might have treated the 'sons of the forest better than they did. We cannot undo those wrongs, but if we will we can at this eleventh hour do much to make amends for past wrongs"
 Roanoke College has had Indians in her classes for the last ten years, and has never charged them more than half tuition fees, and is now charging much less.''
 If anyone, of his own free goodwill to- ward the Choctaws, desires to aid in the education of one or more of them. he can receive full information and be enabled to make immediate arrangements to that end by addressing the faculty, Salem, ya.''

If you had asked that question in the first place, should have answered 1t by telling you so."

Public sentiment is at last really stirring against polygamy. A mass meeting to talk about the abomination will be held at Chicago Monday evening, and it is proposed to hold simultaneous gatherings in other parts of the country. It is probable that similar de- monstration will be made in Springfield be- fore many weeks, and that President Seelye and other prominent speakers will take part.

It seems strange that Philadelphia, with 105, 541 pupils in her public schools, should be without Superintendent of Schools, yet such is the fact. The Board of Education in Philadelphia holds the same relation to the schools as board of directors holds to bank or railroad. An association was organ ized last spring to promote the efficiency of education in the city, and at recent meet ing report was made advocating the ap- pointment of superintendent. The associ- ation is a0out to invite Colonel Parker, the organizer of the Quincy system, to visit Philadelphia and lecture on his methods.

The St. Gothard tunnel is now traversed by eight trains, four each way. Touching solidity of construction, the tunnel leaves nothing to be desired. The official inspec- tors express themselves perfectly satisfied with the condition of the work Particular attention was paid to the windy stretch, which has caused so much trouble and given rise to so many fears, but the massive gran ite masonry with which this part of the pas sage is stayed seems admirably adapted to its purpose, and shows no sign of yielding to the immense pressure that weighs upon it. The ventilation is good and no inconvenience was experienced from the temperature. The tunnel is lighted with lamps placed kilo- metre apart.

HECK ER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courters
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recOm- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "RoyaI'' or tho other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with 8 number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder s submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in its favor is fully
