That Ohio Idea.


A correspondent writes:-"Does the
Herald really mean to advocate the abo-
lition of all duties and taxes except
those on whisky and foreign wines and
spirits, tobacco and foreign tobacco and
cigars, sugar and a few luxuries like
silks and jewelry? Is the Herald
crazy?"
Well, no, the Herald is not crazy.
The Herald simply copied the sugges-
ton of an eminent and respectable Re-
publican Organ-the Cincinnati Com
n,escidl Gazette. That journal showed
that we can laise all the revenue needed
by the Government by tax or duty on
the few articles mentioned by our cor
respondent. We carefully examined
its figures and they are undoubtedly
correct. To make the matter clearer,
we give here table showing how easy
it would be to raise all the needed rev.
enue by very simple system of taxa
tion. The revenue produced by taxes
and duties named in the first column
will cover the requirements of the Gov
ernment named in the second:--
Excise on spirits aud All the ordinary expenses
tarf on foreign spir- ofthe government.
its and wines.
Tobacco excise and tar
ii on foreign tobacco Army,
oeef ...... navy.
Sugar. ........ .Intsrest on the debt.
Tariff on silks, fnrs, lin
ems, fancy goods, jew
elry and the surplus Pensions.
from previous taxes.
There is nothing crazy about his,and
we congratulate the Commercial Ga
zette on so timely a showing of our
actual condition. OF course no such
simple and easily borne tax system
will be adopted until the people de-
mand it. We have got so used to very
complicated, burdensOme and oppres-
sive system that it scares simple heart
ed men like our correspondent out OF
their wits to have simplicity and econ
omy suggested. We advise our cores
pOndent to rest easy. We are still a
long way from simplicity and economy.
But in our judgment the Commercial
GGseNe has done q useful service in
showing that if We want to be free from
heavy and cumbersome and needless
impOsts and taxes we can be.
Some day this crazy notion of raising
only as much revenue as the Govern
ment needs and levying as few taxes
as possible will get into some party
platform and then "the trouble will be-
gin" " for at heart the American people
have foolish notion that freedom is
the best and that needless taxes are op.
pressive and their exaction is tyranny,
That belief, by the way, as national
belief, dates from the year l776.-M Y

A rather remarkable story is told by
the Van Vert Daily Bulletin, in tue
following item; .Abont four months
ago, Miss Carrie Duckwa'l, Of Paulding,
daughter Of the proprietor of the Man
sion Hotel, in that town, accidentally
swallowed a pin. She supposed from
. slight irritation in her throat that 1t
had lodged there, and severe headaches
have continued to bother her ever
since the accident. and sometimes the
pain therefrom became almost III b bsar-
able. A few days ago, while in the
high school, attending her school du-
ties, she had an occasion to blow her
nose, when to her joy and relief, the
pin dropped on the floor. Since then
she has experienced no pain.

inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose

dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The

The Chronicle of last night Gays:
Er. E. B. Harris is not likely to
return to The CoEstock. For some
years past he has been trying te To-
cate place in which to settle per-
manently and plant his own vine
and Eg tree. He las finally settled

DR.. Harris is 3 gentleman who
will be missed in this State. For
many years past he has engaged in
extensive practice in Virginia City,
and no night so cold and clustering
that he would not rise to attend
the wants of sick family. too poor
to pay him a single dollar. A more
honorable and warm
hearted maa never lived in this
State than DR.. E. 3. Harris.

The Leap Year TOilettes.

Some surprise has been nantes
ted in social circles in Carson that
several gentlemen's toilet:es we're
described in the APPEALS report Of
the Leap Year ball, in cases where
the parties mentioned were not
present. OF course there are nu-
merous persons to whom the inside
management of great metropo,i-
tan daily is sealed book. In Sc
curing descriptions of toilettes at
leap year ball each gentleman is
furnished with blank card which
he fills out with careful and accu-
rate description of the clothes he
wears. In this instance each gen
tleman whose dress was described
wrote the description himself and
in some instances-Hub Parker,
James Crawford and Otto Green
hood-accompanied their descrip-
tons with checks for small amounts
in order to secure a conspicuous
position. Some of these parties sat
ap until midnight, but the ladies
didn't come and as the paper had |
gone to press it was too late to re- |!
call the items.

Compressed Yeast.

Muller & Sehmitt are now the
agents for the compressed yeast
which comes from the Bay View
Distillery, San Francisco. This
yeast mast be used fresh and is sent
up twice q week. It comes in little
cakes wrapped in tin foil and costs
5 cents a cake. This yeast. as the
writer can state by the card, makes
the most delicious bread that the
sun ever shone Cd. Those who
have tried it will use nothing else.
1t lightens the bread, the heart of
the bread maker and the lahors of
bread making. Nothing like it has
ever before been introduced in this
market.

THE GOVERNOR ROPED IN.

Curious Photographic COmpIica-
tiOns fn the Capitol square.
| There is row on exhibition at
Peterson's gallery a picture Of a
member of secret society all GOV.
cred with elegant trappings and
mounted on horseback. The odd
thing about it, however, is that in
the photograph Gov. Adams is act
ing as householder for the eques-
trian. The thing came about in
this way: Some time ago man
came down from Virginia City to
have a large picture taken, he being
unable to get as large picture as
he wanted in Virginia City. After
being taken in front of the Ormsby
House before an admiring crowd
he conceived the idea of getting an
other picture taken with the Capt.
toll building for q background.
Just as Peterson was ready to turo
loose the camera on the man he
saw Governor Adams coming down
the steps and called out. Hold on,
I want to be taken in the act of sa
lutinS the Governor. He then
requested Gov. Adams to stand in
front of the horse where he might
raise 4 sword in salute. The Gov
ernor was pleased with the idea
aud took his position in front of
the horse, when Mr.. Peterson sug.
gested that ucless Mr.. Adams got
in range of the camera no one
would know whom the knight on
horseback was saluting. This
struck every body as being wise
suggestion and so the Governor
came up close to the horses head.
Just as every thing was ready who
should come down the steps but
Treasurer Tufy and Peterson yell
ed out, "Ssy, can't you keep out of
the back ground fluffy kept
right on and said if things had
reached that pass that the State
Treasurer could not walk down the
capitol steps during Office hours he
wanted to know it. When quiet
was restored John Dormer and
Wells Drury hove in sight and
they were made to vacate the s'eps
at once the crowd yelling vocifer,
ously. All this noise frightened
the horse and finally the man on
horseback suggested that the Gov
ernor hold the animals head to
keep him still He rushed up and
caught the bride and just then
Peterson caught the picture and
now there is al immense photo on
of the Governor holding
the horse of a Virginia City Repub.
Ecan. The Repub. seated on his
steed is just raising his sword in |
salute, but the uninitiated observer
inagines that he is about to bang
The Executive over the head Cor not
holding the animal better. All in
al the picture IS worth inspecting
and is at Peterson's Photograph
Gallery.
