Judicially Determined.

lnasmuch as very considerable portion
of the revenues Of the District of Columbia
is derived from the dog tax, any decision,
ruling, or decree increasing or diminishing
the number Of dogs liable to taxation is
matter Of public concernment.
1t has, in times past, been stoutly main
tanned by many of the ablcst judicial minds
in Swampoodle, aud has, in fact, become q
part Of the unwritten law Of that locality,
that dog could not attain its majority, or,
in other words, pass the bounds of puppy
hood and emerge upon the stage of taxable
doghood, until twelve calendar months
from and after its natal day.
In defense of this theory, to which
Swampoodle clings as tenaciously as the
boldest Briton to the great truths of
Magma Charter, many notable battles
have been fought and, on more than ono
sad occasion, POundmaster General Einstein
and his hrcling horde have been COM
PEELED to seek safety in ignominious flight.
The equally able judicial minds of Sheol's
Base have hitherto held and, on many
well fought field maintained, that no canine,
however precociOus, could reach the tax
able period until six months after his ad-
vent in this mundane sphere. There have
been great debates between the learned
punGits of Swampoodle and their erudte
brethren Of Sheo's Base as TO which of their
respective interpretations OF fundamental
law would stand the test Of our regularly
constituted tribunals for judicial interpre-
tation. Swampoodle quoted Confucius in
the original text in support of the twelve
months exemption theory, while Sheol's
Base rested its case on an ingenious trans
latlon Of Joscphus.
In the clGs'ic ncighborhood Of Cham
plain Gllcy sim another theory has OBJ
tGined, TO wit, that the taxable age comes
at the end Of the second year. The federal
government has not been more perplexed
and bedeNicd with the heresy Of the polyg-
amous Mormons tnan the poundmaster gen
eral has with TIL ..lsnrd Judicial determine
ton Of Champla;n alley.
But all these conflicting notions have
been swept away as chan before a mighty
wind. Mr.. Justice Smell, of our District
police court, has turned on the light. "For
purposes Of taXation,m says Judge Smell,
''all puppies are dogs This is simple,
heaut;lul, remover Of doubts and con
servator of peace. 1t brings, at one step,
two thousand adole5cent dogs under the
protection of the law, and should add
$4,000 to the revenues for this year.
There will, to be sure, be resistance In
swampoodle and "kicking" in other local
ii cs, but the law must be enforced even II
the fire department has to be called out and
the Jefferson Club is compelled to sleep on
its arms.

It is a curious fact that the Magazine of
American History has been obliged to priut
a third edition OF its July number TO meet
the extraordinary demand for its eight in
troductory "War Studies.n The articles on
the 9TH regiment of New York have created
no little comment.
A poem, which whispers tenderly OF
peace at q great commanders grave, by
Frank Daniel Dl;sh, appears in the Current
Of Aug. l. 1t is entitled "The Silent Wax
rior," and is appropriate to this season of
mourning in the land.
The future of the Indian territory and
the probable result of the efforts made to
secure its lands for white settlers are dis
cussed by Henry King in the forthcoming
number OF the Century.
A two-part story Of an unusual charac-
ter, by George Alfred Townsend, is begun
In the Current Of August /. 1t is an his
torical romance entitled "Anne Hutchin-
SON. relating to the early Puritauic period
Of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Townsend writes
with great feeling. lie glorines his heroine,
Mrs. Hutchinson, and holds up to scorn the
Winthrops, the Wilson's, the Cottons and
others Of their ilk who have long cheated

believes, they deserve.

Samuel j. Tilden.

The Baltimore American remarks that
''lf the story that Mr.. 1ilden has snubbe
President Cleveland be true, the President
must again be congratulated on his remark
ably good luck. More especially will this
be so II the cause of the ire Of Mr.. Tilden
is the fact that the President inclines toward
mugwumpery and civil service REFORM"
There is no doubt at all that the story Is
true as to the main fact-the anger Of Mr..
Tilden-because "the boysn decided to run
the government, and especially to fix up the
New York appointments without consulting
him. II President Cleveland were about to
cut loose from the Democratic party and
join the Republicans, he might well be con-
graduated on having incurred the anger and
Ill will Of the sage Of Gramcrcy. But no
Democrat with future-and especially no
New York Democrat-can afford TO provoke
that old mans serious displeasure. The
American says:
Mr.. Tilden is In no sense of the word pop.
ular man. He Is not beloved His talents as
a conductor Of still.hunt and his "bar'l" of
money made him at one time power In poll
tics; but such power as he possessed disap
penred when he became clNimaut-l man
with q grievance.
Mr.. Tiden is not popular with Republl-
cans or Mugwumps, but he is to-day and
has been for a good many years the most
influential Democrat IN the United States.
Perhaps it may not be affection, or any
sentiment of an ardent character that IS
felt for him, but there is something in the
old man which has given him a strange hold
on his party,
Our Baltimore contemporary thinks his
ability to SET up bar'l is all that gives Mr..
Tildon any power, bat this is great mis-
take, Wealth never gained for It's possessOr
such influence as he holds. This was con
clusiycly shown in 1884, when his most
solemn assurance that he would not &C
ccft nomination scarcely sullccd TO de-
feat movement TO put him on the track.
"lhcp people," says the American, would
te better pleased with Cleveland If he
were to Lccomo the object Of the wrath Of
tie sage Of cylher alley; and II the threat
of Mr. TilGm to fight the adminIstra-
ton he carried out 1t will make It's friends
20 much the wmmcr IN It's support, A

Pensions for Ex-Conredcrates.

There is one resolution adopted by the
Mississippi Democrats In their recent state
convention to which we are glad to give our
hearty approval. We refer to the declara
tion in favor Of state pensions for disabled
and indigept confederate soldiers.
There is no objection that can possibly I've
urged against this proposition. Humanity
appeals strongly for its adoption by all the
states which constituted the expunged con-
fedcracy. We aro assured on the evidence
Of carefully collated statistics that the south
is almost phenomonally prosperous She
has recently been gaining in wealth beyond
all precedent. Tie southern statcs--evcn
those which have repudiated honest debts
ought to have pride enough TO care for
their crippled and sick veterans. We may
add that stotcs which repudiate their bonds
that belong to the Peabody educational
fund-a fund for the education of children
in the south-do not gain In responsibility
hy neglecting their old soldiers.
Many of the northern states, nobly sup.
plemcnting the good work OF the federal
government, have, erected homes for
disabled soldiers. Some states have
made provision for soldiers orphans. 1t is
not creditablc to Mississippi that she has so
long neglected this duty.
For reasons too obvious to require their
presentation here the general government
ought not to pension soldiers who fought
against the old flag. But these reasons do
not operate against the plan we are advocat-
ing. The rich men of the south urged the
poor to go into the army. If they did not
go voluntarily they were conscrlptel To
let them suffer in their old age is simply
shameful.

A Personal Matter.

EDITOR NATIONAL RErUBLIcAN:-In this
mornings issue of THE REPUBLICAN, Inotice
the article headed, Glove Levels Rank"
an account Of the clopement of Miss
McKeen, of Tcrre Hautc.
III justice to both parties concerned de-
sire TO make the following statements:
/. Valentine, or, "Tine," Shuler is the
son Of Col. Lawrence S. Shuler, of Indian
apolis, gallant officer during the late war,
aud in later years warden Of the Indiana
state prison, south.
Tine is well-educated young fellow, with
no aptitude for business, who stood well in
society when his fathers business affairs
were prosperous.
2. Miss McKeon's mother and Mr..
Shuler's father were cousins, and the fami-
lies have always been on the most friendly
terms, and have always acknowledged
relationship.
While the affair will of course be
regretted by those who know the parties,
yet it is not so bad as it might be; the
young people have known each other
always, and the lack of money is all that
has prevented Mr.. Shuler from being Il
bright and shining light in society for the
past few years. INDIANA.

National Canal System.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Why
may not the government of the United
States make a national system Of canals,
giving q perfect system Of water com
petition with American railwaysP The
Erie canal should be ship channel, of
which the great lakes would be an extension
to the ship channel connecting Chicago and
Lake Michigan with the Mississippi. This
Hennepin canal would be tributary of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. From the
Missouri, at or near Kansas City, a ship
channel should relieve the Missouri Of one
third of its food tide, TO be diverted
into the Neosho, flowing into the
Arkansas. This should be made to flow
into Lake Providence and this lake into
Red river, which should be diverted from
the Mississippi into the Sabine or Atcha-
falaya flowing into the gulf of Mexico.
Then there would be two Mississippi rivers
parallel with one another, and not only
would overilows be impossible, but the
canal system OF the country would compete
everywhere with the railways. l.. j. D..

For laughter hushed when he laid down his
pen,
Aid shadows gathered when his smile was
gone.
The twilight decponed in the sNnGtum when
That EcHrt of laughter sought the silent

Brave heart of mirh. that laughed oar cara

Sleep on, ln waiting tor thl brighter dly
When oil Of JOY oar m0urd!ns hearts VIII

And lar of CChue, olson laughter clml
Above thy sleep, like rlc1lil ;Ot lifl+
