Tho7 Know Hosv nc Ks Themselves.
The Morning Nesos tries to bury
spoonful Of fact under tuhful Of words,
but the stubborn little fact wriggles out
from under the load and defantly refuses
to be bur7ed. Life is short and we have
neither the time nor inclination to re-
view, dissect and analyze all the legisla-
ton relating TO the assessment and col
lection OF taxes to be found
on our statute books. This has
been thoroughly and exhaustively done,
as the Nescs is well aware, before a judi
cial tribunal and by such men as Senator
Gray, Congressman Lore and Anthony
Higgins, Esq, aud EVERY EVENING has
often cited the warm words of
commentator which the latter gentle
man, whose Republicanisin the Neaos will
cheerfully admit is unimpeachable. pub
licly bestowed upon our assessment laws
upon that occasion. Besides, such dis
cussion is irrelevant and immaterial to the
fact at issue. That fact is that electors
even ''poor men"--eyen ''colored mem
can and do pay taxes on the very
day of election and almost or
quite up to the hour of closing the
polls, and by such payment can and do
qualify themselves to vote. The editor
of the Mems certainly should be one of
the last men to assail the integrity of this
stubborn fact, since he himself endeav-
ored SO to qualify upon the day of the
last city election, and would have had no
difficulty whatever in doing so had his
name not been enormously entered
as "W. A. Sperry by d
Republican assessor. We have Re-
publican assessors in Delaware-quite o
number of them-although the careful
and circumstantiar' investigator of the
North american Repiao would probably
never have learned of them through the
medium of the Morning Nesos and in
the district of one of these Republican
assessors the editor of the Neaes was re-
turned as delinquent for non payment
of taxes in 1884 and either omitted from
the list or assessed as "W. A. Sperry" III
1885. Had lis name been correctly
entered he would individually have quail
fed by paying his tax on the day Of
election.
1t may not be particularly the business
of the public, but it is perhaps worthy of
mention as illustrating the familiarity
with the laws and the readiness to
'dodge" their eyident requirements
which seem to have been cultivated in the
office of our esteemed contemporary, that
another member of the A0rninQ Neaos
staff deferred the payment of his tax for
1882 long enough to carry him over the
election of 1884, and after
that election requalitied as an elector by
paying his tax for 1885. Still another
member of the Morning Ne'os staff was
returned as delinquent in 1884 and has
since become an elector by the payment
of his tax for 1855. These gentlemen are
all good Republicans and certainly ought
not to kick against the operation of laws
from which they are sharp enough to ex-
tract all the benefits and immunities of
full citizenship ut half price. They were
well aware that the assessment for 1885
would be the quadrennial general
assessment, which would afford such
wide awake delinquents as they ample
opportunity to get their names back again
on the list of taxa bles.

The suggestion that President Cleve-
land should, in duty to the American
people, forego at this juncture the pos
sible perils of railway journey to
Indianapolis to attend the funeral of Vice
President Hendricks, comes with the best
fitness and grace from the indianapolis
Journal, and every one will appreciate
the patriotic spirit in which that paper
says:
The Journal feels free to make this sug-
gestion as Republican newspaper, and as
one published at the home of the late Vice
President, and as one against which the
charge cannot be made that it would do or
say anything to interfere with the largest
possible measure of honor to the memory
OF the distinguished dead. But Mr.. Cleve-
land is not his own; he is not his party's;
he cannot follow merely the dictates of his
personal or political friendship. He is the
nations head-the only life between the
government and an interregnum.
In view of this we would not have him
take the risks incidental to the rapid transit
that would mark his journey from the ma
tional capital to indianapolis. Let all sec
retaries come who can be spared from their
official duties, but the President should not
leave Washington.
But there is another view The life of
President Cleveland is in the hands of
One whom we are taught to believe doeth
all things well. While it is true that
even the most trustful reliance on Divine
wisdom and protection would not Justify
him in taking extraordinary and unwar-
ranted risks, yet if he regards it as duty
to pay this last tribute of respect to his
late associate in the government of his
country there is no sufficient reason to
apprehend that he will incur any extra
ordinary risk in doing SO. Upon this sub
ject the New York Star we'll says
But Mr.. Cleveland himself does not feel
that any timorous deterrent should be
weighed at such u time. He realizes that II
is his duty TO attend the funeral of the Vice
President, and he would scorn to permit
himself to be influenced by considerations
purely personal to himself. He is toe
genuine an American, too profoundly i'm,
pressed with the grandeur and strength o.
our institutions, to apprehend that the
elimination of any individual could jeopar
die their integrity. He knows that tn,
republic rests on foundations too secure Il
be disturbed so long as human intelligence
and patriotism exist, and he would think o
his individual safety as little as of his indi
vidual comfort in an emergency demanded
of him in the exercise of public duty
The people will applaud his action
and there is not an American citizen bu
would consider 1t his sacred obligation, Il
well as his dearest privilege, TO interpos
his life between the President and an
danger that might arise in the execution G
so solemn and imperative charge.

Forty Thousand People Take "a last
Look nt the Dead Vice President
The Cabinet starts for Hndtnmapo-
lis-The City in Mourning.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30.-There was an
early lighting of the public streets and
city buildings this evening, night coming
on rapidly, owing to an impenetrable
wintry sky, which completely obscured
the sun. The night is cloudy and the
fear has been general that the morrow
may usher in storm. There was slight
sprinkling of rain this afternoon, but II
was hardly perceptible and soon passed
away, but the heavy appearance of the
the storm might only be held in allegiance.
During the afternoon there were evil
dences at hand in every direction of the
preparations for the ceremonies of to-
morrow. The crowds began to grow
dense in the business portion of the
city and the hotels took on crowded
appearance. On the residence streets the
finishing touches were given to mourning
decorations, the work of draping having
been practically concluded in the bust
ness centre. Washington street, the
main business thoroughfare, presented a
sable appearance, no structure appearing
without its drapery of black, relieved oc-
casionally with an intermingling of white.
The face of the dead Vice President met
one everywhere. This street led to the
portals Of the court house, where the re.
mains of the dead statesman lay exposed
to view and surging and notwithstanding
throng was to be met at any point along
its entire length, but grew more dense
when approaching that public edifice.
Here the military and police were called
into requisition to keep the mass moving
and to prevent blockade.
