The recent municipal election in Gin
cinnAtI, it seems, was carried by the
Democrats by fraud. The Commercial
Gazette charges that the Democratic
victory was gained by ballot box stuffing
and repeating, and adds: The legal
evidence proving this fact has been OBJ
tanned. Those engaged in the work o.
investigation have been filed with as
constituent by the developments. No
only is this fraud shown, but streak o.
fraud running through years has beer
discovered and will be worked to thu
utmost; and If there is not large croI

some persons who have supposed them

ministration to be amenable to then

SAN FRANCIsCo, April 17.-Edwin F.
Smith, secretary ofthe state agricultural
society submits the following as his con-
illusions concerning the California wheat
crop. From adYices up to April 18th,
and from present indications, the yield
will exceed that of 1880. Without some
unforeseen element overtakes US the crop
will exceed that of last year so per
cent. The only fear now is from the
north wind that sweeps the Sacramento
and San Juan valleys in May and June.
Should these Winds prevail while the
grain Is in the last stage of maturity the

TAxLNG RALLRoADs.


The California legislature has been
endeaYoring TO formulate a system of
taxation suitable for insuring q revenue
from railroads. This seems TO be a very
difficult matter in California, as the
railroad companies have more than the
usual aversion to tax paying. There is
no uniform system OF taxing railroads
in the United States. Some states tax
the gross or net earnings, or levy an in
come tax, or tax the property OF rail-
roads as any other property. The tax Is
laid on the franchise in Massachusetts,
the franchise being valued according to
the market price of the stock; so in
Maine and Connecticut. In Pennsylva.
mia railroads pay eight-tenths of one
per cent. on gross receipts; those which
pay six per cent. dividends or over pay
Ing tax of FIVE one-hundredths of one
per cent on their capital stock; those
paying less than six per cent. dividends
are taxed three tenths of one per cent
on the market or appraised value
of their stock. In some states
the railroad property is appraised like in
dividual property; in Vermont railroads
are taxed on their road beds and real
estate valued by the county assessors.
In Indiana and Illinois the law provide,
for q valuation of the franchise or righl
OF way as well as other property; il
Mississippi broad gauge RAILROADS pay
$50 mile and narrow gauge roads $4(
mile yearly, and Gthey are exemp
from other taxation; in Michigan, roads
earning $4,000 mile pay two per cen
on gross receipts, and roads earning
over 1900 mile three per cent; Il
Wisconsin, the same system is in use q
higher rates. In fact, different syster
is IN use in nearly every state; in man
states the laws are 80 imperfect that tn,
railroads escape with very slight taxi
ton. 1t would probably be better fc
the railroad companies and better for tn
state governments If there was a uniforI
system Of taxation. The methods no
in use are largely defective.
