Georgia's Finaaces.

The condition OF the treasury and the
general financial status Of the State are
now being made the subject of a special
investigation by subcommittee of the
Finance Committees of the Senate and
House Of Representatives. Assuming
that the financial condition of the State
will be found to be substantially as re-
ported by the Comptroller General and
Treasurer, it seems that the alternative is
offered to the General Assembly of either
levying an extra tax for the purpose OF
providing for the payment of demands
that will come up against the State be-
fore the meeting of the next General As
sembly, or meeting the deficit that APP
pears in the estimates by temporary
loan and enacting law that Will insure
an approximately correct valuation of
property for taxation next year.
There are many reasons why the latter
plan should be adopted, 1t Is almost uni
versally conceded that'the greatest injus-
tice is done honest and conscientious tax
payers in nearly every county in the State
under the present system of assessing
taxes. The taxes Of such persons are
onerous, because verydlRrge proportion
of the taxpayers gwen their property or
have IL assessed at much less than its real
value. Thus the corrupt and unscrupu-
lous pay less taxes thag they should pay,
while the better citizens pay more than
their share. % tso.
An increase in the rate of taxation
under the present systeihof assessments
only increases the burden on the honest
taxpayers, ard intensi6ss the injustice.
There is no reason why the General AS
sembly should not enact, an assessment
law that viii eqHaliSs taxation, and that
can be put into operation next spring.
There is scarcely doubt that such "a law
would insure such an increase
in the sum total of the returns
of taxable property that the
deficit would be easily paid after paying
all the expenses of the State government
and the interest on the public debt, with

Cholera ira Spain.

MADRID, June 5.-The cholera epidemic
is rapidly increasing in extent and viru-
lence at Valencia and other towns in the
southeasterly provinces of Spain. The
peasants continue to chafe under the re-
strictions imposed by the sanitary cordons,
and by their willful neglect of precautions
prescribed by the authorities they
invite and disseminate the disease. The
report that cholera has made its appearance
in this city is denied by the Madrid officials
but this was also the case at Valencia for
many weeks until further concealment be-
came impossible. Some color is given to
the report by the new and stringent sani-
tary rules which are being rigidly enforced.

sentenced yesterday to six years in Sing
Sing on the plea of guilty of burglary.
kindt addressed the court in broken voice
and with tears coursing down his face, said
he had been out OF work. hungry and sleep

happened to find his daughter deserted by
her husband and starving with her little
child. In sheer desperation he committed
the burglary that he might obtain food for
his daughter and himself. During the re-
cital of the story to Judge Barrett, the law
yers and spectators .were deeply moved.
Judge Barrett, in passing sentence, said
that sympathy for man with Kindts rec

Manning. They come in such volume
as to Indicate concerted move
ment along the Western rivers
Several commercial bodies have forwarded
resolutions. mentioning no names. but ask

pealS are timely in one respect. for it is an
open secret at the treasury department, that
the inspection service is just now receiving
considerable attention from Mr. Manning.
and that he wishes to begin a complete
sweep of the present inspectors and boards
by naming Gen. Dumonts successor as
soon as he can. The president is not taking
any particular interest in this office. and the
selection rests virtually with the secretary.
1t is stated to-day that Mr.. Manning
has Sifted the candidates and classified
them, somewhat as the priests do their
choice for the bishoprics. Mr.. Manning's

of inspectors for the several districts will

torship, Pittsburg and Cincinnati dividing
the list pretty evenly. For political reasons
the appointment is almost certain to 90 to
Cincinnati. The Endorsements of Black.

There are 247 positions in tire steamboat

made very useful politically. Good salaries
are attached. the work is light and at times
can be set aside if there is something to be
done for the party.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-At the meeting
of the national board of charities and cor
rectons to-day the Minnesota committee
reported showing that the state organiza-
ton, which is only two years old, has already
accomplished considerable work OF import
ance The state is building new insane
hospit. which is intended to accommodate
all the-atltl insane, feat accomplished in
very few other states. One jail is now be-
ing built on the model plan in Otter Tail
county.
OWAsHINGToN. June 5.-The conference
of charities and corrections was called to
order by President Garrett at 9:30 o'clock
this morning. and was opened by prayer by
Rev. Dr.. Dana of st. Paul. A motion was
made and carried that committee, to con-
sist of one delegate from each state and ter
rtory, to determine the time and place for
holding the next annual conference, be ap-
pointed. A communication was received
from the directors of the Maryland peniten-
tiary in Baltimore inviting the conference
to visit that institution. Mr.. William How
ard Neff of Cincinnati. chairman of the
committee on reports from the
states, read the committees re-
port Notwithstanding the efforts of
the committee it had not been able to
secure reports from all the states. Despite
there being a few failures, the report was
highly encouraging. and the committee sug-
gested that its life be extended for another
year. and that all persons possessing a
knowledge of matters of interest be invited
to communicate freely. The reports from
several Southern states noted the quite gen.
eral reduction Of the system of hiring out
convicts and the adoption of measures
which had a tendency to mitigate the evils
of the system. The report from Delaware
noted the mitigation of the severity of the
whipping system. Blood was rarely drawn
at present. The whipping post was in gen
eral favor with the deople of Delaware for
punishment of petty offenses. 1t was rarely
found necessary to administer second
whipping to the same offender.
The delegates, to the number of $50 ladies
and gentlemen. called upon President Cleve-
la nd this afternoon, and were received in
the east room. They were introduced to
the president by Commissioner Edmunds.
There were no speeches, but the president
took occasion to express to several of the
delegates his warm interest in the reforma-
tory works to which they are devoting their
time.
At the evening session Ex-Gov. Hoyt of
Pennsylvania read paper on the Evolu-
ton of the Prison. Charles Dudley War
ner made all informal address describing
what he recently saw in the reformatory at
Elmira. He believed it right that prisoners
should be self-supporting.
