TIIn gigantic monoliths Of Egypt and oth-
Oriental countries have long been regarded
with wopder by modern travellers, and
have frequently furnished the text for COM
n ants on the superiority Of the ancients in
mechanical skill. Mr. N. Cummings, a
Buffalo manufacturer Of lime and cement,
has elaborated a theory which, if confirmed
BY further examination, win explain the
mystery which has 50 long prevailed as to
how these vast masses Of stone could be
qnarried and erected in single piece, He
states, in a letter to the Scientific American,
that examination Of the Egyptian obe
isk in Central Park, New York, has
satisfied him that this famous monument
Of Egyptian art Is simply mass Of con-
crete, composed Of pieces Of granite from
the size Of q walnut to that of a grain Of
wheat. These stones are mixed with some
hltuminous matter Of the nature Of asphalt
tosn and with hydraulic lime containing
clay. The hiesoglyphics must have been
formed by fastening letters on the inside Of
the box into which the concrete was placed
Such structure could be carried up at the
rate Of from twelve to fifteen inches day.

In is gratifying to learn thai under Gener-
al Walkers able and energetic adminlstra-
ton the compilation Of the census reports
is going on so rapidly that the end Of what
at one time seemed 10 be an interminabIe
business is now in sight. The available
funds are nearly all expended, but they are
expected to last until The end Of the current
fiscal year, and as on the LIST Of July another
100000 will be at the disposal Of the Blu
reau, the work will probably be continued
uninterruptedly until it has been completed
1t has occupied long time and cost great
deal of money, but there is reason to believe
that the results attained are more thorough,
comprehensive and accurate than any prev
vious returns of the same kind.

Judge HOadley Opinion on the Scott
LIQUOR Law.

Hon. George Hoadley. of Cincinnati
has given Cincinnati reporter ms optn'
ion on the Scott liquor law as follows: :,
When YOU ask me whether the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio has power
to tax when it has not the power to IL
cense this traffic. l answer that SUCH
taxation can not be imposed under the
present Constitution of Ohio. The rea.
son for this answer is that the mandate
of the Constitution is to tax "all real and
personal property according TO It's true
value in money"
Another clause Of the Constitution is
that "private property shall ever oe heid
in violate but liable to be taken for
public uses upon first making .compensa-
tion therefor to the owner in money.
The right to sell and use property are of
the essence Of property itself. and the
specific taxation of the properly, but not
according to its true value in money"
The Scott Bill can not be sustained
nnder any power to license, for the power
to license the traffic in liquors is denied
" the Constitution. This, then pre-
eknts the bare case of an attempt to tax
nroperty in one of its relations, and with
out the free exercise of which it cannot
be said to be "inviolate," and this taxa
ton is imposed by the charge of speci.
fic sum, whereas the Constitution re-
auires the taxation of all property to be
according to its true value in money"
The case will become very clear If one
will only imagine tax law passed re-
quiring farmers to pay five dollars per
acre tor the privilege of cultivating their
farms. or selling the produce thereof,
after making full payment of taxes upon
its true value in money. 1t would not
take very many minutes for any su.
preme Court that ever sat in the State of
Ohio, to find out that such tax upon
property, and is inhibited by the Consti-
tuition. And yet there is absolutely no
difference in principle between the tax |
have supposed upon the right to culti-
vate farms or sell their produce, and tho
Scott bill tax on liquor, except that a
plausible argument might be, that the
Legislature have the right to license
farming and charge license fees, whereas
the Constitution forbids the licensing of
the traffic in Intoxicating liquor.
