Chinese Flocking East.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 1S.-.For thiity days
past many Chinese have been passing
through this city i'll parties of from 5
to 20 on their way east. Yesterday
morning a half dozen Chinese, all of
the better class, arrived at the Union
Depot from Chicago, and left few
hours later for Philadelphia, Boston
and New York. A rather venerable
looking Mongolian, who seemed to be
chaperoning the rest of the party, told
a reporter in excellent English that he
and his friends had left a more or less
lucrative laundry business in San Josa
and San Francisco because their lives
were threatened by the very man
whose shirts they washed. They all
had little money saved and were
going to locate in the east. 1t is esti-
mated that over 500 Cinnamon have
pacsed through Pittsburg in their flight
from the vest since September 90.
About per cent. Of them have got
over their sc are and gone back.

OHIo's state election, on Tuesday, OF
last week, resulted in republican vic
tory. Judge Foracker was elected
governor with plurality of about
$4,000 over Hoadly. DR.. Leonard, the
temperance candidate. received about
$4,000 votes, which is more than the
prohibitionists ever before had in the
state. The legislature is republican by
majority of 8 on joint ballot. The
result is no disappointment { odemo-
Gratis, as Ohio, like Pennsylvania, is "a
republican state, and the election of a
democrat can only be expected under
extraordinary circumstances. The con.
stitutional amendment, changing the
time for elections from October to No
vember. was carried.

The New Tax Law.

The people of Pennsylvania would
do well by an early and careful study
of the new tax law passed by the re-
cent Legislature and approved on the
30th of June last. 1t works radical
change in the taxation of personal
property, not so much in the funda-
mental system of taxation as in the
stringent methods by which it is ad-
ministered and enforced.
By the new law all mortgages, mon
ey owing by solvent debtors, all agree.
ments bearing interest, except notes
or bills for work or labor done or OBJ
legations given to banks for loans, and
all public loans or stocks, except State
or National or Building Association,
and all money loaned or invested in
other States, are now taxable at the
rate of three mills on the dollar for
State purposes and they are by the
same law exempt from all taxation
except for State purposes" This three
mill tax covers all bank, saving fund,
safe deposit, guarantee and every
form of financial stocks. All stages,
omnibuses, hacks, cabs and any other
vehicles used for passenger hire, also
pay a three mill tax on their value,
and all annuities over two hundred
dollars, except those granted by the
State or National government, pay a
like tax.
The radical change in the method
of enforcing the new tax law consists
in requiring every citizen to make re-
turn under oath of all mortgages and
other investments or incomes made
taxable, and in case of refusal to. make
return under oath, the assessor is re-
quired "to make return for such tax
