The Scott Law.

A stranger in the land wonld be greatly
surprised to hear of judicial decision
which gave unbounded joy to prohibition
lists and rumsellers. He would naturally
think that the antagonism between the
two would be so fundamental and so bit
ter that a judgment of the courts adverse
to one would ill the other with pleasure
and satisfaction, and vice versa. But the
newspapers report that the decision of the
Supreme court of Ohio that the
Scott liquor law is unconstitutional creates
unbounded delight among the two
classes of the community referred to-the
prohibitionists and the liquor men. 1t
seems that the constitution of Ohio for
bids licensing the sale of liquor, and the
clause which forbds this has been con
strued to forbid prohibition also; as the
constitution is judicially Interpreted, both
license and prohibition are unconstitu-
tional in Ohio, and the sale of liquors is as
free from all legal restraint or regula-
ton as the sale of bread or boots The Su-
preme court is made up of five judges,
three Democrats and two Republicans,
and the latter regarded the law as const-
tutional, while the former took the oppo-
Silc view nt IoCOJl law ldltS DdCk tNO
years, and was carefully framed to avoid
| the objection that il was Il license law,
| and was in terms an excise law, imposing
| "A tax on this occupation. The liquor men
showed fight but the law was sustained
by the lower courts, and for last year all
or nearly all the taxes were paid, and the
revenue received by the towns and cities
| of the State was about two million dollars.
| This year an equal revenue was expected
| from this source, and was taken into &C
count in laying the taxes for the year.
Very little, if any, of the excise tax due
| has been paid, however, for the dealers re
| lied upon the assurances of the Demo
cratic leaders that the law would be set
aside, Now that this expectation has
| been realized and the revenue from the
| Scott law has failed, the cities and towns
are in financial straits

One of the leading objections urged
against the proposed law doing away with
the double taxation of mortgaged real es-
tate is that it would increase the general
burden of taxation. Such may prove to
be the case; but it is to he noted, first, that
the relief granted by the bill would be so
great as to more than counterbalance a
slight increase in general taxation second,
that an almost intolerable burden would
be lifted from that part of the commun-
ity which is the least able to bear it and
third, that though there may be an increase
in the general tax it will be because relief
has been given to property now taxed
twice-and that relief ought to be given
and every honest taxpayer ought to be
willing to bear the increased burden that
may come to him in consequence only re-
GREETING that the wrong was not sooner
righted.
There is another objection urged to the
proposed reform on which the Montpelier
Waterman has IA patent. 1t is that We're
the reform adopted, the farmers, relieved
of an onerous burden, would become ex-
travagant and improvident. 1t is diff
cult to believe that an argument so
puerile could have been put forth in
downright earnest but the Waterman
never jokes, and consequently the presump-
ton is that it regards this argument as a
strong and convincing one. We shall not at
tempt to controvert it, for those people
upon whom it will have any effect are of
too low an order Of intelligence to deserve
any consideration in the discussion of n
great public question. But the Wdtch-
MANS puerlllty suggests an important
matter which has not heretofore been con
sidered in the current discussion and that
is, fictitious valuation as n basis of tax
atiCn. Take our own city of Burlington
for instance. Our community is credi-
tor and not debtor one-that is, there is
an immense amount of capital centred
here and our citizens stand in the relation
of creditor and not debtor of the
outside world Hence, whatever money
is borrowed here is borrowed OF
our own citizens. Now, them A and Il
buy building on equal shares for 5000
Each Is taxed for $500. But on the other
hand suppose that A buys the building foI
$4,000 and of that amount borrews $500 OF
Is and gives him mortgage for it, Then
the law taxes a on 5000 and b on $500, OF
Il total of $500 Yet there is really NJ
more property in the city than there was
before. The one-half that has been added
is an entirely fictitious valuation. The
amount of real estate mortgages now in
force in this city can not, for various rea
some, be ascertanod; but it is undoubt
eddy several hundreds of thousands
of dollars, TO that extent, therefore, the
assessed valuation of our city is
larger than it ought to be. TO that eX
tent it is made up of property which does
not exist at all. Our municipal eXpendi
lures, consequently, are estimated upon Il
fictitious valuation our taxes are based
upon fictitious valuation. Suppose, by
way of illustration, that our assessed val
uation was 100000 and that there

FORTUNE SMILED on HIM.
Betting and Winning on
Presidential Election.

A correspondent of the st. Louis GlObc-
says: At the table of the Ell Paso the re-
porter was introduced in his official capa-
city to a big, burly, pleasant-faced man,
whose manner indicated that if he wasn't
boss of all Texas, he had pretty much the
biggest share in maintaining her prosper
ity. The individual in question was Col

of the stage line from Fort Worth to Fort
Yuma, in Arizona Territory. In his idea
there We're but two great enterprises ON
earth. the CLONE Democrat and the Fort

kind of Il chap, whOlc-sOuled and tull of

THE PLENARY COUNCIL.
Approaching session of the Clergy of the
Catholic Church of America.

The time appointed for the holding
at Baltimore, of the Plenary Council
of the clergy of the Catholic Church in
America, is drawing nigh. The growth of
the church in this country will, on account
of the great number of that faith now
citizens, invest the deliberations of the
body with a great degree OF interest
This council will be the most noteworthy
assemblage Of prelatcs ever held outside
the city of Rome. On May 9, 1852 Arch
bishop kenrick presided over the first
tlenary Council ever held in this country.
and twenty-six bishops. The second
council was held Oct. :, 1866, at which
Archbishop Spalding presided. This coun-
ell was attended by seven Archbishops
and thirty-eight bishops. OF the Arch
bishops present at that council four are
dead, namely Spalding, Purcell, Odin,
and Blanchet. Two will scarcely be able
to attend on account Of age and feebleness,
namely McClOskey and Kenrick. OF
the priests who attended the council of
1866 three will occupy prominent positions
in the third, the coming council, namely
gate and president Archbishop Corrigan,
of New York, and Archbishop Ryan, of
Philadelphia. The council will be com
posed OF twelve ArchbiShops, represent
ing the following sees Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louir, New Orleans, san
Francisco, Oregon, Santa Fe, and Mil
waukee. In addition to these over seven
ty bishops will take part in the delibera-
tons. AS is usual to the Plenary Coun-
ellis, number of theologians will also at
tend.
The plenary council will be composed of
two branches or houses, corresponding
to the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyes Of the United States. The Archbish-
form one house, and the theologians, who
will be devided into congregations, equiva
lent to committees OF ten or twelve each
in number. Each congregation will be
presided over by a Bishop, and will have
It's secretary. 70 each of these congrega-
tions is referred some particular subject
or matter which the cOuccil is called to
have, for instance, for its consideration
the subject of priests another education,
another canon law, and so on. The diff
ferent members of the congregation will
express their views and cast their votes.
The secretary will take account of the
opinion or view which majority or the
unanimous congregation sustain, making
a report of the result, the reasons for it,
and the number sustaining it, which ac-
count is referred To the other house when
the ArchbishOps and Bishops in their turn
consider, discuss and vote upon il, APP
proving ii entirely rejecting it, or accept
ing with some modification as the case
may be- Finally the action of the council
is returned to Rome, when the questions
are again considered by the congregations
of Cardinals and eminent theOlogians
Their action is made known to the Pope
whose approval makes it a finality. The
proceedings of the plenary council as thus

One of the most remarkable political in
cidents on record took place in New York
on Wednesday. Nearly IA thousand clergy
men called on Mr., Blaine in IA body, at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, to assure him of their
confidence and support. In "A list of about
300 of those present, are the names of
many prominent Presbyterian, COngrega-
tional, Methodist and Baptist ministers,
and representatives of other denominations,
the Episcopal excepted, were not wanting
Among the number was Rev. DR.. Edward
Beecher, brother of Henry Ward, who
expressed to Mr.. Blaine, his regret at his
brothers strange course. Besides paying
their respects to Mr.. Blaine, the ministers
organized "A meeting, and adopted resolu-
tions of confidence in the personal and
public character of the Republican nom
nees, and protesting against the corona
ton of conceded impurity, as represented
by the head of the Democratic ticket.
The four steamers of the American
Line Steamship company, the Ohio Penn
sylUdnid, Indiana and Illinois, have
been sold to a foreign company. They
were built on the Delaware river, for the
Pennsylvania railroad company, in the
hope that at least one American line of
transatlantic steamers could be main
tanned but the enterprise has failed,
They will still move between Philadel-
phia and Liverpool but under the Eng
fish flag. Captain Bedford PIN of the
British navy, in recent address, delv-
cred at Philadelphia, said; "Your ship
ping has fallen off simply from the ten
dency of your countrymen westward
where, in railroading in ranching, and in
farming, money is to be made much more
rapidly than in the old fashioned line of
commerce on the ocean. Reaction will
take place sooner or later-I believe soon
er than you think"

The Election of Judges

At Montpelier is set for to-day. The
present Judges rank as follows, on the
bench-Royce, Redfeld, Ross, Powers,
Neazcy, Taft, ROwell. The opposition to
Chief Justice Royce has greatly subsidized,
since the falsehood and malignity of the
attacks on his private character became
apparent, and though the effort to defeat
him has probably not been abandoned,
there is, we are glad to believe, no longer
any fear that it can succeed. 1t would be
Il great pity under all the circumstances
of the case, for the state to lose Judge
ROyce's ability and experience as n iurist
1t would be a greater pity to have him
struck down by Islander and malice, and it
would be slandering our Legislators to
believe such Il result possible. The other
Judges will he reelected, except Judge
Redfed who declines II rc-eection-and
for the new Judge the choice is likely to lie
between Hon. William II. Walker of Lud-
low and Hon. l.. II. Thompson of IraS-
