Il will be remembered that some months
since the law und Order Council" finding
the city treasury empty through Its bad
management, undertook to raise revenue
by levying a special tax, Under the law
this cin only be- done by ordinance duly
passed by the board aud published in the
official newspaper. The council passed no
such ordinance, but ordered the levy by res
olution only. At the tune we called atten-
ton to this neglect Of form and suggested
that the attempted levy was illegal and
void, and supposed the matter would rest
there. But IL appears now that John +
Chaplin, who was a member Of the council
and also county clerk, extended the illegal
tax on the Tux books for this year, though
by what authority We cannot imagine.
Under the circumstances no taxpayer
should.pay one cent OF this Illegal levy.
Outside Of Its illrgality there should have
been no necessity for this levy and would
not have been had the council pursued the
commOn-sense course of it, predecessor.

The monotony OF the court room was
broken se,erSl times this week and specta-

ing Judge Harris with his war paint on.
Among the attorneys present WAS Mr.. Nc
donald, Of wellington, and he took excep-
tons to the way Judge Harris was conduct
ing the court, and on more than Que occa-
sion "talkcd back" to his Honor. For this
he WAS gently reprimanded. wednesday
morning the judge saw fit to take seat by
the stove In the room, rather than on the
bench, when Mr.. Mcdonald declined to pro,
coed with the case then under consideration
until the judge took his position on the
bench. "Sir, will not permit any attor
ney or any one else to criticise the conduct
Of the court, or dictate In what particular
part Of the room the Judge shall stir thun'
dervd Judge Harms. Mr.. Mcdonald said
something about having no rights before
that court, II seemed, and sat down In any
thing but good humor.
The incident was generally talked oil
among the spectators during the day.
Under the new city council We hope TO
see:
Substantial sidewalks on the entire
length Of Main street.
A city marshal who will dare to do his
duty;
A strict watch kept over every place In
towH that permits gambling;
And every combination Of sharpers bro

A happy and bountfnl return to the par

A committee appointed to remodel ant

there was brick dust deposits in in my urine. and
considerable desire to nrinste, with severe. dart
ing, sharp pains through my bladder and side, and
dure.I consulted one of Oursresident physicians,
but received no benefit from the treatment, and
fearing that my symptoms indicated "Bright's
Disease" the most dreadful of all diseases, and
must obtain iefspeedily or would be past cure
consulted my druggist, Mr.. Weber,, and after
ascertaining my symptoms, he recommended the
use of Hunts Remedy, as he knew of many sue
eessful cures effected by that medicine in similar
cases here in Bath. purchased a bottle and be-
fore had used the first bottle, found | had re-

No street in the world possesses more
value than Fifth avenue, New York. Yet
that city derives but 81 600, 900 year in
taxes upon the property, which shows
that New York as well as Chicago suffers
from the epidemic of differentiation.
The total assessment upon the property
along the avenue is but $40, 449, 900, al
though it must be worth six or seven
times that amount As an instance Of
differentiation, Mr.. Nanderbilt's property
may be taken. His house cost s., 100000,
exclusive of the land upon which it stands,
which is said to be worth half million
more. Yet the whole establishment is
assessed at S1,OOOO00. The house of his
son VIM. K, which is said to have cost
81, DOC, 900, exclusive of the ground, is
assessed at $500, 900, while that of Mr..
Webb, his sOnin-law, quite as expensive
in value, is rated at 100000. Mr.. Van
derbilts former residence, which cannot
be worth less than $3.50, 900, is rated at
$4,000. The Stewart marble palace is
assessed at 100000 James Gordon
Benefits residence, for which $3.50, 900
was refused, is rated at 100000, while
Robert Bonner, whose place is not much
more valuable, pays taxes on a valuation
of 1878, 600. which indicates that the
owner of Dexter is an honest man.

believes the Ohio election means that the
presidential contest of next year viii be
one of peculiar earncstness. The great
parties present the appearance Of being
so evenly balanced that 81 few hard blows
may turn the scale one way or the other
There will be no tidal wave unless some

The republican party will not have an
easy victory. On the other hand nc
shrcwd politician will be quick to assume
that it is doomed Ia defeat The party
must prepare fng the tiercest attack it has
