A drove Of asses which hal been
wandering through the country came
ono day ia pure and crystal pool.
While shaking their thirst, the assoc
observed that the surrounding section
was fertile in the extreme. and was evi.
IDENTITY the abiding place Of vast null.
titnde Of deer. sheep. goats and lesser
animals. for tho pool was completely
surrounded by them, all drinking their
fill.
Presently an ass addressed his com.
paninns rs follows:
I'm NIL our travels We have nevcr
found a more delightful dwelling rlac,.
This pool. apparently. is the sole ariaa-
ing place Ut these animals. Let us
drive them away from the pool and take
possession. We shall then have all tae
fertile country to ourselves. and can
cease our wanderings through tho
laaa."
This suggestion seemed wise one to
the asses. and accordingly they notified
the deer. the sheep, the goats and the
lesser animals that hencefer,h they
must drink no more at the pool.
Now in all that country round thcrc
was no other water to be had, and A tho
rightful jewellers On the soil loved their
birthplace, they could not bear to leave
for a strange land.
Therefore messengers were sent TO all
the deer. goats. sheep and lesser ami.
mails, asking them all TO meet under n
clnmp Of bushes : few rods from the
pool.
In little while all the animals met,
and so mighty were their numbers that
the absurdity Of SO few asses depriving
them Of their birthright Immediately
struck all present.
Il perceive" said an old goat. "that
we are all Of one mind. We can SEQ
that our numbers are so great that il is
impossible for the asses to stand before
us. Let us therefore immediately fall
upon these robbers and trample them
out Of existence"
may" said IN old sheep: although
they do not deserve it, let ns give the
asses warning. We will walk in full
force to tho pool. and our mighty
strength will surely strike terror To the
hearts OF our oppressors: they will
give mp their nsurped ownership. and
bloodshed will be avoided"
This wise and gentle counsel pre-
vailed, and the sheep. the deer. tho
goats and the lesser animals. every Quo,
mighty army, approached the pool.
| The asses were much alarmed al this
imposing sight, hut tho love Of power
was too much for them. and they would
not let the animals drink.
ave will give YOU time 10 think over
it." said the sheep, who had coua>eled
this peaceful course: but hy and hy
We shall come to drink. and il You op.
/ pose rs, You must take the conse-
| qnences."
And now noontide approached and
the thirsty animals drew near in full
force to the pool
Icing asses, the usurpcrs opposed
their advance
| A Gathering Of many hoofs were
heard, heavy cloud Of dust arose. aud
all the animals were hidden from on,

STREET RAILWAY TAXES.
A Protest of tho Comptroller and Mayor
Against IA Proposed Remission.

Comptroller Campbell has sent to the AS
sembly u protest. in which Mayor Grace
ours against the passage of the bill which
provides that the street railway companies may
pay to the city two per cent. OF their gross re-
ceipts annually. instead Of their present H.
cense fees and taxes upon their capital stock
and structures. The Comptroller says that all
corporations should be taxed alike on their
real estate and capital stock and that the
horse railroad companies should pay ad-
ditional compensation to the city for the priv
ilege Of occupying its streets. II the Legisla-
ture should see fit to adopt the principle
Of gross receipts tax in lieu OF taxes
for those railroads. they should make that per-
centage sufficient to pay what they justly owe
the city for taxes and lranchiso rights In his
would yield a fair equivalent for the remission
of their taxes and compensation for franchises.
He says that reports TO the state Engineer
show that the total gross receipts Of the six

To this statement the Comptroller adds that,

would have yielded to the city but 81 A 255 .9s,
the amount Of tax levied OF their capital stock

posed on several of the roads by special
statutes and the amount of car license fees,

East INTEROCEANIC MAILS.
A Schedule tsat VIII Save 20 Hour. Be-
tween New York and San Francisco.

CHICAGO, May o. Postmaster-Genera
Howe and Mr.. X. Ackerman. Hugh Riddle. 7.
j. Potter, and s. $. Merrill. representing West
ern railways. had conference here to-day on
the feasibility OF eNpediting the mail service
between the two oceans. The general plan pro-
posed was that the schedule for mail trans
portation from New York to Chicago should be
reduced to twenty-hv hours. and from Chicago
to Omaha to fourteen hours The purpose is.
il possible. to arrange schedule which will
effect saving in time as follows: New York to
Chicago. hours: New York to Omaha.
81 hours; New York to Cheyenne. 30
hours; New York to Denver. 32 hours;
New York to San Francisco. 30 hours. The
train from New York to Chicago must be
clevely u mail train, and must average 3S
The train from Chicago to Omaha must make
36 miles an hour. The average speed is now %
miles. Mr.. Howe did not think the extra COM
pensation would be sufficient to pay the entire
ana that passenger cars would therefore have
to be attached.
The conference to-day developed n possible
obstacle TO the adoption of n fast mail service
pated by the Government To carry out the
plan IL Will be necessary to select one of the
three direct routes from Chicago to Omaha.
These lines are operated under u pooling COM
l:cd by the advertisement. and the fast train
will attract an unusual number of passengers.
II was suggested that the roads mi ght also
pool the earnings OF the train. but the objec
tion was made that the line which operated il
at extra expense and trouble should claim the
profits. SO 1T is II question whether the ar
raugement can be carried into effect west OF
Chicago without upturning the railroad pool
