THE STATES REVENUES.
The Legislature To Be Asked to Increase the
Tax Levy Because They Are insufficient,

The question of most vital Importance to the
people of the State, that the next General AS
sembly will be called upon to consider will be
the apparent necessity for legislation in
creasing the tax levy. Provision will have
to be made for extraordinary expendi-
lures amounting to from 900 to $780,,
0O0 the revenue from the present
levy of twelve and half cents being barely suf
fcient for the current expenses. 1t is rather a
remarkable fact that the valuation of property
in the State in the tax assessment has decreased
instead of increased and, in consequence, the
revenue has grown less. In 1882 the assessed
valuation was $685. COZ 1872, and in 1888 it was
only $770, Oil, 0S2, which made a difference of
$34 pol 10 The amount of taxes possible to
be collected was 1925, $50, but 40 per
cent was delinquent, which left a balance of
only $57l, III Last year the taxes collected
upon the assessment returns amounted to $574,-
BIB and the revenues from all sources, including
800 600 transferred from the State house to the
general fund, aggregated $l,5O1, $50, while the
total current expenses were 81, 773 5l5. With the
increasing expenses and decreasing revenue the
necessity for legislation to equaze the growing
discrepancy is apparent, and it is matter to
which the attention of the General Assembly
will probably be directed by the Auditor Of
State IN his forthcoming annual report In ad-
dltlon to the current expenses, $500 600 or more
will be required for the completion of the new
insane hospitals now in course of construction,
and other extraordinary expenses will swell
the amount it is estimated, to
about $500, ,0OO The mistake which has been
made in the legislation heretofore, it is claimed,
has been in making reductions in the State de-
partments, while the county expenses have been
allowed to escape reform legislation simply from
the fear senators and representatives have of
the influence of county officers. The tax levy is
now twelve cents for current expenses and one
hal of I for ha MT fun Of
State University. 1t is estimated that an in
crease to fifteen cents will be required.

No statutory Limitation.

The district attorneys demurrer to the de-
PENDANTS plea of exemption from liability on ac-
count of the expiration of statutory limitation
in the case of the United States against Kinds
ct al, which has long been pending in the federal
court was sustained by Judge Woods yesterday.
The suit is for judgment on the bond of former
United States marshal and there is statutory
provision that after three years from the accru-

does not apply to the government, which is not
bound by statutory limitations.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE-''THE sHAUGHRAUN."
One of the most entertaining performances
given here this season was that by Mr.. Dion
Boucicault at the Grand, last night, for the
reason that the play "The Shaughraun" is one
of the cleverest of that authors very many clever
plays, and his company is one of uniform ex-
cellence. In spite of advancing years, Mr. Bou-
cicault acts with his old-time fervor and force,
and his Conn is one of the best characterize
tions known to the stage. Last night he was
honored with a call before the curtain
at the end of every act. The company is
composed of capable ladies and gentlemen-all
of whom give creditable presentations of the
parts allotted to them Particular excellence
can be attributed to the work of Miss Helen
Leigh (who, by the way, in appearance and
ton, is very like Miss Rose Saker of the Wynd-
ham company, very clever actress, Mr., Jo
seph Haworth, a leading man of fine reputation,
whose part in the 'Shaughraun" does not give
him adequate opportunities, and Dion Bouci-
cault jr., a good character actor Last night
was the only appearance the company will make
here this season.

the bloody clothing mentioned belonged to her
son. who, she thinks, has killed himself: "Con-
siderable excitement was created at Portland by
the finding of some clothing in the woods two
miles east of Indianapolis. They were covered
with blood, and cut as if done in stabbing" The
police know nothing of the reported finding of
bloody clothing near this city, and from the
reading of the item it is evident that there is
some mistake in the matter.

LUCKY TIM.

Tim Flanagan always lived quite high,
For mkt to the roof he had home;
A laborin' man who kept job
For Tim was niver hand to roam.
Wan avening Tim was ploddin' home,
His legs wur heavy, his pockets lite;
Sez Tim to himself: The laborer's lot
I'm not regardin' with delite.
He slowly trudged along the strate,
When down forninst him on the ground
He spied bundle nately tied.
1t wondered Tim what he had found;
He picked it up wild a cautious hand
Begorra! 1t might be dyna,nite
But when he saw twas Bull Dog, thin
His heart went thumpin wild delite.
Bedad, sez Tim, it's the laborin' man
Is the lucky mortal after all
It's him as hes his eyes cast down
Picks dainties up the rich let fall;
For if I'd had me wish this mite
Twas Bull Dog that most desired;
'Tis Bull Dog fine cut gives delite
To man that's falin' wake and tired.
When dimes are scarce and Bull Dog gone
'Tis thin the world gets lookin blue;
But not rason for complaint
Has a man wild Bull Dog as his chew.
And Tim was right beyond doubt,
For chewers now on every hand
Agree with Tim that Bull Dog is
The finest chew in all the land.

A LIVELY ROW.
After Hand to Hand Contest Two
Sets of Delegates are Elected.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 9.-The Republican
convention to elect two delegates to the Chi
cago convention from this congressional dis
trict assembled at Slingerland's to-day.
Great interest was taken in the meeting by
outsiders, owing to the knowledge that the
Draper and Smythe factions were in num-
bers about equal. The first conflict took
place over the delegates from the Sixteen tn
ward. This trouble was settled by the ballot
taken for president. The chair announced
the result: George H. Fits, of
Cohoes, "a, William II. Haskell, of
Albany seventy three. The latter was sup
vote had hardly been announced when
rush was made for the platform, and imme-
dietely the officers and reporters found them
selves in the midst Of a SURFING, fghring and
hustling, pulling and yelling mob. The sup
porters of Haskell gained the platform, and
lifting the chairman and secretary, threw
them bodily from the platform. Haskell was
Immediately installed as chairman, and
formed a Gordon round him which the Fits
adherents could not break. Hand to hand
encounters were constant, and the yells and
cheers unceasing. Haskell was maintained
in position long enough to entertain and
put motion for recess. The opposing fac
ton of Draperites now made desperate and
successful charge upon the platform, bearing
Fits upon it. Fits began his role of chair
man, being upheld by strong body guard,
yelling and cheering most vociferously and
constantly. Fits then named the delegates
to Chicago, declared them elected and adj
journed the convention. The anti-adminis-
tration, men or Smytheites, now resumed
possession, named delegates to Chicago, de-
clared them elected, and likewise adjourned.
