Let tho People Oppuse Tho Wrong.

h.tt tuS AeOl'sC oFtpHu IVAN
The people OF Wcss Virginia are not dis
pcsod 10 submit quietly to tho reassess.
ment proceeding. Their strong encourage
ment hns induced Assessors 10 refuse 10 list
for taxation property exempt by law.
Many farmers have Refused TO mako return
OF exempted property. Now come the
people OF Steele District, Wood county, who
have organized for resistance. Without
regard to party they met at their school
house, Last Saturday, and unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS: We, the citiz ana and taxpsyera
OF Steele District, feeling that We are Cypress
ed by the Governors and Auditors inslruc-
lions 10 the ASH In having our hay, grain,
etc, taxed. Dc 1t therefore
ReiOirtd, that we, the undersigned will re.
fuse 10 give In our property which IL exemp:
by Ia 10 tho Guses,or Tor taxation, and feel,
ing II TO be contrary 10 law and juatics In
heing thus taxed. We ask all the citizens OF
Would county 10 Din us In making q test case
and II 1t Is law We will submit to 1t.
Forty.iive Taxpayers signed their en-.
dorsement ofthe resolution, which is 10 be
circulated in tho district for further On
dorsement.
This Is the etand that ought to DO taker
by the taxpayers Of every county. They
olght 10 present a solid front to the un
l.wful edict Of the State administration
Tho expense OF a tect Gaze should be borne
by the whole people, for they arc all in
terested. They will have the law to bach
them and only an unlawful order TO Oppose
them.
Perhaps the Supreme Court will decid'
the exemption act unconstitutional; it will
hardly decide that the executive has the
authority to usurp the functions OF tn,
legislative and judicial branches. at al
events, give the Supreme Court a chance
to decide tho question. l. has neyel
had the chance and mas never decided the
point. .0..
The Supreme Court is "solid" in politi.
cal agreement with the party which has
done this thing for its own purposes; ant
it has been announced, with great flourish
that three judges OF that court, being a ma
jority, acting with the Democratic caucuR
have approved the order.
Lat us see whether the court will stand
by the csucuB edict. Ifso, the people may
see f. TO get at the matter through q con
Btitutional amendment and the overthrow
OF Bourbon management.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Philadelphia Press: Hendricks says
God gave the Democrats their victory.
Carl Schurz regards this as q deliberate
slight
New York Tribune. 1t would be in
teresting to know what Jefferson Davis
whispered to a certain sour apple tree
when he found that his party had been
restored to power. 1t would also be in
teresting to hear the retort of the sour
apple tree.
Philadelphia Times: Mr.. Cleveland
evidently has no desire to meet at table
thousand Philadelphia Democrats hun
CRY for dinner and ravenous for office.
de has, therefore, wisely declined to sub
ject himself to this great test. Yet he will
never thoroughly know what he has
missed.
San Francisco Post: Blaine will never
be politically dead until he is physically
dead. He will be, while he lives, one of
the foremost, If not the very foremost,
statesmen in the United States. He is a
tower of strength, and a reservoir of
thought, and the light of his genius will
illumine his country and his party as long
as the lamp of life burns.
New York World: AS Cabinet-maker
and joiner Mr.. Watterson can hardly be
called success. As matter of fact he
is complete failure as political joiner
for his tendency is to separate the Demo
cratic party. His last suggestion, that
Mr.. Pendleton be placed at the head of
MIR. Cleveland's Cabinet, is not happy
one because Ohio will object.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Another step
has been taken in the Sixth Senatorial
fraud case. Mr.. Brand by and with the
advice and consent of his friends makes
a proposition to Mr.. Leman. He con-
cedes that there were frauds in the sec
ond precinct of the Eighteenth Ward,
and he proposes recount of the ballots
in the whole district. If Mr.. Leman
accepts this would his friends be expect
ed to drop the prosecution of those guilty
of fraud? What is there behind Mr..
Brands propOsitiOn?
