1t is said, that the assessment of tax
able property in Boston, is over $780,
OdO, 600, more than for the whole state
of Missouri, and more than i've times
greater than the valuation of Chicago
with it's 100000 population. The reas-
OH for the great difference is probably
this, that in Boston property is assess
ed at it's actual ogsh value, while Chi
cago in a measure adopts the western
method, of assessing at only about
one third, or one fourth. of its actual
value. This latter method Of assess
ment is largely adopted in Minnesota.
All are anxious to pay as little tax as
possible, and for this purpose each one
knocks his property down i'll value
when the Assessor comes around,
but nothing is made at it, for the pro-
perty in any community is required to
pay taxes sufficient to defray the eX-
penses OF its government, and each
one pays as much tax on low valua-
ton as on a higher one. The differ
ence is only imaginary.

The Northwestern Miller says: The
situation of the milling business is but
little changed from week ago, the
flour market having good tone with
q tendency to higher prices. The mil
lers have difficulty in obtaining good
milling wheat and have fixed upon
higher values for their flour. The
mills will have to run light to make
the present supply last until the new
crop is in condition to use. The flour
production this week is slightly in
creased, but the prospects are that
there will be amaterial falling off soon
owing to the cause mentioned. On
Tuesday there were eighteen mills in
operation, but two or three are expect-
ed to shut down before the close of the
week. The output will average about
1900 barrels per day against 1850 a
week ago.

THE DISTINGUISHED DEAD.

There probably is no country in the
world where man becomes as great,
generous hearted, and generally dis
tinguished after death, as in this OF
ours. A mans abilities and his states
manship are never so completely
brought out in public comment, and
generously approved as after death.
Now that jeremiah S. Black of Penn
sylvania is dead, no one is backward
| in adding to his praise. He has all at
once become distinguished at a rate
so sudden no one is able to estimate it.
PAPERS are out in long articles pro-
nouncing his eulogics, and mourning
his loss with all the solemnity becOm-
ing grief stricken mourners. Those
who loved him best, and were his
most ardent admirers, are made deaf
with the means of those who never
spoke of him before. That such has
become the habit of the people more
than anything else, is too tru . 1t has
been carried to such an extreme that
it has become we'll nigh ridiculous;
and it arises mainly from the nefarious
practice which so many of the papers
of the day have, of abusing and de-
flaming men in pubic llfe'
perhaps to gain some political
point that they do not realize
how severe they have been, until after
death has in its noble generosity, re-
moved the victim from earth; then
when it is too late, they sadly recant
the many unnecessary wrongs done
the distinguished person, by throwing
the mantle of charity over his mis-
deeds, This is a base insult to the
dead, an those of his living relatives
who are left behind to mourn his loss.
If we have not the courage to speak
we'll of those we have to deal with in
public life, and cannot do them
justice by giving whatever little credit
here and there is due them, we should |
after death, be too cowardly to make
public mention of their names. This
would be by far better way in which
to use the mantle of charity.
There is no question, but many of
our best and greatest statesmen, have
been hurried into the other world as
much by abuse, as from the effects of
old age. Such men always have a
heart more cr less for the good of the
public, and when they ascertain all
his is fired with passion against them,
life becomes burden, and they go
on to meet those who have
passed on before them.

Canada has good luck in getting
immigration, but poor luck in keeping
it. The most Of it manages to kick
itself over into Minnesota ana Dakota,
to the great chagrin of those who are
instrumental in bringing them over
from the old counsry. This enrages
the old timers in the Manitoba dis
trict, and the way they give to US
Yankees fits and lip, for it, is anything
but slow. We have by far the best
country, and we cannot see why every
one who will, should not come and
enjoy it with us. If our company is
not as good, as that of Queen Vic'ks
subjects, we would like TO kno" the
reason why.

The stylish Cashier of a National
bank in Warren, Ohio. was found to
have embezzled the sum Of $4,000, OF
the banks money. This goes to show
the result of having u man employed
in moneyed institution whose great
est recommendation is the style he
can put Oh, and the many good clothes
he is found wearing. There is of
course considerable i'll appearance,
but while this is true, it is a very inn
portant matter to havethc funds of a

ed. 1t is safer to weigh the honesty
of mans face, than the tineness Of
