PIQUE AND DIVORCE.

MT. John Stetson's admirable cononanv ar,- pear in Pique tonight at Carll's The Hart ford Post says of recent performance of Pique by this company in that city: 'sOne of the finest dramatic performances that has been given in Hartford in long time occur red at the opera house last evening in the presence of large audience. The drama is familiar to most attendants at theatrical per- formances and is one of the best that has come from the pen of Augustin Daly. It has had many revivals since it's first appearance about decade ago and still maintains it's strong hold upon the public. Last night it received superb rendition, the company be- ing of superior character and the scenery and stage settings excellent The players are all of well-known ability and their perform ances will be complete and strong. There will be matinee performance of Pique Sat- urday and the great play Divorce will be given Saturday evening.

The Question Of Taxes.

The editor of the Philadelphia Rtcord
claims to find the discussion between
Judge Black and ourselves, relative to
taxation, too deep for his comprehension.
We are inclined to believe that he is sin
cere, since he asks us to explain g how
any tax that may be laid on property,
either real or personal, payment Of WEiici,
is not evaded by fraud or crncealment, ,
can fail of being equally or proportion
ately distributed" The answer seems
quite easy; we have only to say that a
tax so laid is prOport'Onately and equally
distributed upon the class of property
taxed but it is not Thereby equally laid
upon all property or all owners of prop
erty. The idea of equality of taxation
which we advanced required an equal
imposition of the burthen upon all classes
of property according to their value.
Another idea of such equality would be
an equal imposition of the burthen
upon all the people, and not upon their
possessions. But we can see no
equality in taxing only certain classes of
property, thus imposing the burthen of
taxation upon the owners of such prop
erty and releasing from it the owners Of
other kinds of property. If property is
to be the basis of taxation, all property
must be taxed equally to make taxa
tion equal if men are to be the basis :,
then all men must be taxed equally.
What we seek is an equal adjustment
of the burthea of taxation upon the peo-
pie; and it must be made equal upon
their manhood or their property.
When real estate is taxed unquestionably
the burthep of the tax is largely shifted
by the owners of the real estate upon its
tenants and upon those who use its
products. The burthen is widely dis
tributed but still not equally. 1t requires
nothing but the statement to show that
when thousand dollar house is taxed in
the hands of its poor owner, while hun
dred millions dollars of bonds in the
possession of Vanderbilt are not taxed,
equality in taxation is lacking.

TIE Press, which has been proving
itself big enough to print the news
and broad enough to tell the truth,
allows an Invisible correspondent,
writing from Harrisburg, to say in its
columns that committee appointed
to ascertain whether certain House Off
GERS could not be dispensed with" re-
ported that all were absolutely required,
and those held in allegiance were sneaked
in by piece-meal, and to-day they are all
in, except two sergeants-at arms, who
will be in in plenty of time to get the
full salary" and upon such allegations
as this he concludes that the cause of re-
form at Harrisburg is hopeless in the
Democratic House and has only a chance
in the Republican Senate. Now the
facts are just the reverse. The
House did dispense with a dozen
officers allowed by law and not one of
them has been sneaked in nor filled in
any other way. The Senate, on the other
hand, has filled its full quota. Every
officer elected by the Democrats has O
do his work in person, and, as even the
Press correspondent admits, one who
was unfit for his position had to resign
and was neither allowed to hire a sub
stitute nor shirk his duties. This is a
condition of things that has not prevail
ed at Harrisburg for many years before.
If the Press wants further evidence of
the sincerity of the Democratic House
in the work of reform, it can find it in
the dispatch by that body of legislative
business, which is further advanced than
it has been any time for ten years at the
same period of the session. The appro-
priatiOns committee, which is even more
liberal than it's chairman or the majority
of the House, has already acted on forty
one out of sixty seven bills before it, and
has cut down the amounts asked for
81 POI, 354.

MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 70. 1883.
HaZen,S IlltneSS.

General HaZen was placed at the head
of the signal bureau after the death of
General Myer, although it was well
known that he was untitled for its duties
and that he had no particular ability Of
anykind to recommend himfor responsible
place. He had been a failure wherever
tried. He had been guilty Of the most
pronounced cowardice on the battle
field. lie was recognized in the army
and out of it as a sham and a fraud, a
man of great pretensions and univer
sally poor performance. He, however,
had political influence. We believe that
he had it in both parties Mr.. Mclean,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was one of
his connections and sponsors and a
very fit one, indeed, he was for man of
Hazen's quality. He evidently had the
family traits, being an accomplished
blower and having beyond little less
sense than the original ape from whom
this whole clan cannot be very remotely
descended.
Hazen has been showing his folly con-
spicuouSly ever since he has been in his
present place. lie has done nothing to
raise its repute or to continue it. He is
not capable of it. So disguSted are even
the hard-to. disgust Washington author
tiles with him, that they lend cOunte-
nance to an essay to remove the signal
bureau to the care of the interior de
partment change which certainly
would be for the worse. In the army
there is better chance for getting com
petent instruments for public work than
there is out of it. For army officers
have at least education and esprit du
corps and there is not larger proportion
Of fools among them than are found out
side. UaZenS are not numerous, and
never would come to the fore if the
army regulations forbdding army Off
GERS to use political influence to obtain
atplaces was strictly enforced. AS it
is, this order is carried out SO sporadlcal
ly and feebly as to he wholly valueless. A
poor devil of major, who was comfort
ably stationed at Newport barracks
and wanted to stay, Haunted
too conspicuously his political recon-.
mendatiOnS and was court -martialed
therefor and reprimanded but,
nevertheless, every army officer knows
that if he wants any thing the only
way he can get it isto use political in
fluence, and only the very conscientious
among them decline it.
General Hazen ought to be removed
from his place, but his place ought not
lie removed from under the war depart
ment. General Hazen's ability to
further disgrace the country ought to
be put an end to by his dismissal from
his office and from the army.

INDIAN FIGHTS.
TWELVE APACHE SCALP5 TAKEN.

Current News of the Day-Accident and In

Way of the World.
Reliable information has been received
Of two fights with Apaches on the south
side Of Pagigochic river, in the foot hills
of the Sierra Madre mountains, in Chihua-
hua. The fights were between Apaches
and citizen soldiers of the town Of Temo-
sachi and surrounding district. Last fall
Governor Luis Terrazas authorized the
people of that section to organize COM
pany of citizen soldiers to pursue, fight,
capture, kill and scalp marauding Apaches
On January 80 the company surprised a
camp of Apacbes. A fight, short and
and quick, ensued, in which twelve Indian
scalps were taken, thirty-three Indians,
including men, women and children, were
made prisoners, and fifty horses, with
saddles and brides, and thirty eight pack
horses, loaded with provisions and equip
ments, were captured.
1t appeared to the citizen soldiers, from
the quantity of provisions. arms and am
munition captured, that large band of
warriors belonging to the captured party
was temporarily absent, and consequently
| hurried march was begun to reach Tenn
Osachi i'll safety with the prisoners and
supplies. The citizens were Overtaken by
a superior number of Apache warriors,
who attacked the company savagely. The
citizens fought desperately aud finally
| succeeded in holding all the prisoners, but
lost six of their own men aud had few
wounded. The citizens took four scalps
and the Indians recovered ten of the
thirty eight laden horses The company
reached TemOsachi, 3l5 miles west, on the
right bank of the Papigochic river, with
sixteen scalps. twenty eight old and young
prisoners, the war horses and twenty
eight animals laden with provisions and
arms.
