objects OF said com bination; that we will
not recognize the appointee, as weigher, OF
this or any other combination, but Will
recognize only the weighers elected
by the people; and that we
are opposed to any compromise

Though her body hath laid as the ground and

And the crownof her pride hath been trodden

She viii rise, she will shine from a loftier
height
With crown ofnew glory, star of new light.
She hath wealth in her waters, and wealth in
her lands.
d her fate and her destiny lie in her hands;
hath muscle to labor, and skill to secure,
hath boldness to venture, and strength to
endure.
As The mother forgets not her child that is

not said,
So her lost she rememt ers-'-aye, clasps them
TO-DAY,
And deep in her bosom she hides them away
She hath buried her past in the silence OIL
She hath turned her for ever from mourning
and tears.
She hath shouldered the burden no love can
make light.
And hath brought to the conflict her daring and
might.
Will she win?.--Just as sure as the storm.

HIGHER rate than that on which the resi-.
denoe stands. In other words, he contends
that unproduotive property should be
taxed higher than productive property
The object and intent OF this position Is 10
compel the owners Of such property 70
make IL productive, or otherwise expressed,
TO force them TO build, In order that the
city may thereby be enabled 10 collect ust
40 much more for Its treasury. The
IDEA smacks OF arbitrary and unjust

tiers. We regard the ordinance as piece Oh
dlctatiol. as to how free man shall dispose
of his possessions or how he shall employ
his capital. Carried out, 1t meansthat CITY
council may equally order the construction
of seven-story establishment instead OF q
single story. The principle means equally
that state shall dictate how landlord
shall utilize his farm. 1t thus means that
TIE city or the state shall determine LOT a
possessor of property. the question OF his
eyenues. 1t is conceded by nearly, II not
quite all of the writers on politi-
cal economy, that fairly
assessed income tax is in point of justice
the fairest of all taxes, however unfeasible
it NAV now be on account of the present
low state of public morality through which

est sufferers. Therefore it logically follows
that a tax on productive properly is the
fairest tax. And yet here is piece OF
property, lawn lot, wholly unproductive-
unless it be of real sanitary beneft-which
It is proposed to tax at a rate higher than
the productive piece which yields house
rent, or It's equivalent if occupied by the
owner. As this. lawn lot incre ases in value
like its neighbors, it is assessed
at its improved valuation
and so contributes accordingly
We fail to comprehend why an excess OF
tax should be levied on such lot because it
is assumed that the owner who can afford
such comfort. or luxury is able to pay such
increase over those who own merely resi-
dence lot. If such principle were to ob-
tain it would be applicable to other prop
critics and the state or city which acted
upon,it would soon become the self-consti-
tuted administrator Of all our possessions
and could logically determine how our
monies should oe invested, how our time
and energies should Re expended. 1t is
therefore to be hoped that Brooklyn wis
dom will not become epidemic.

can you get out of Libby, and
as soon as you get to Washington
get out of the army. If you are in

and as soon as the guard came in. got
out. The stalwart six forwarded
charges against him from Libby.
When they got out of the prison they
found him out of army, so they drop.

Attention, Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of
the average physician is a hard one.
He is often compelled to ride great
distances through mud and rain for a
merely nominal fee. It is not fit nor
proper for us to condemn any physi-
clan for his work, but we do assert
that his practice can be made easier,
and he can effect more cures by the
proper and judicious use of Pe,und.
If he will only add this great remedy
to his lsit of medicines, he will find
that his usefulness will be greatly in
creased. Full directions for its use
will be found in the "Ills of Life.''
and he should at once procure this
valuable book. Read the following /:
