PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
Bills Which Will Be offered for the Re-
duction of Fees and Salaries.
The Fire Department 70 BE Placed Under the
Control of Metropolitan Commission
Proposed Creation of a New Court.

Probably the most important measure which
will be agitated during the present session of
the Legislature is the proposed reduction of
fees and salaries. Two bills are already pre-
pared, and will be introduced in the House at an
early day. The question was one Of the vital
issues in many of the counties. especially in
the northern part of the State, during the last
campaign, and several of the members, who owe
their election largely to the promises which were
made to their constituency during their candidacy,
feel that there is a necessity for some legislation
to reduce the emoluments of county officers, in
measure, to quiet the popular cry of tax-pay-
ing voters. The future political success of many
OF the members, in fact, depends upon their
activity in working for the passage of law
making reduction in fees and salaries. The
failure of Representative Moody, two years ago,
to fulfill his promises to his constituents, came
very near causing his defeat at the last election
During the session of '83 he was chairman of the
committee on fees and salaries, and, although
he had an excellent opportunity to distinguish
himself, ne more than failed to accomplish any
thing. He found it very difficult matter to
make any plausible or satisfactory explanation
to the people Of his county when he came before
them as candidate for election, and he mar
rowly escaped defeat. His hobby" now, there
FORE is fees and salaries However he seems to
have no sincere desire to do anything more than
deceive his constituents by the introduction Of a
'buncombe" bill He says that under the SUI
preme Court decision, in 1871, reduction of fees
would be unconstitutional, and that any
adjustment which may be made must be
upon the basis of salaries "The only
thing see that can be done, he said to Journal
reporter, lis to pass law making reduction,
and then let the Supreme Court decide it uncon-
stitutional again. His ideas upon the general
basis of reduction are rather vague, and evil
IDENTIFY wholly to no effectual purpose. Repre-
sentative Mosier of Elkhart county, has pre-
pared BILL which will be introduced in the
House soon, making material reductions in both
fees and salaries of State and county officers.
Those who have examined it pronounce the re-
auctions which it proposes equitable and proper.
1t provides that the salary of the Treasurer of
State shall be 81 500 instead of So 900 year, be-
cause, although criminal violation of the law,
the Treasurer gets many thousands year from
interest Oh the State funds The following are
some of the reductions which his bill provides
for.

THE CHILDHOOD OF CHRIST.
Bishop Knickerbacker Occupies the Pulpit Of
Christ Episcopal Church.

Rt Rev David B. Knckerbacker, Bishop of
Indiana, conducted services at Christ Episcopal
Church YESTERDAY morning and evening. The
text Of his evening discourse was Luke, ii, 46, A.
And it came to pass, that after three days they
found Him in the temple sitting in the midst OF the
Doctors both hearing them and asking them questions
And all that heard Him astonished at His under
standing and answers.
Bishop Knickerbacker commented on the ex-
eeeding brevity of the whole childhood OF Jesus,
and yet His childhood, little as is shown of it, is
made the pattern of all childhood. We have the
story of His birth simply told His circumcision
and namingeight days afterward and forty days
after His birth that the child was brought to Je-
Tusalem to be presented to the Lord The next
record, the flight of Joseph and Mary
into Egypt, foreshadows His life of
suffering; then the return after the
death Of Herod and the sojourn of Herod;
then, again, at the age of twelve, where, when
His parents had lost Him, He was found sitting
in the midst of the doctors, in the temple, hear
ing them and asking them questions. Such is
the whole record of inspiration concerning the
childhood of Jesus. fet@His infancy and child
hood have sanctifed all infancy, all childhood
In His taking upon himself the nfirnlties and
sufferings of humanity. Most carefully should
Che parent labor and pray for the increase of
goodness, with the increase of stature of their chill
dren. Let Christian mothers ever have in mind
the child Jesus, and, like Mary, shall their hearts
be amazed by the early WISDOM and gladdened by
She early grace and obedience of their children.
In the training of children they need not point
TO the man Christ Jesus, but to the child Jesus
Let His innocence be the aim and standard of
their purity, and at the same time let it fashion
for the parents their own lives and conduct Let
Us by prayers and by abors, by word and ex-
ample. strive to train up the elect of God in the
kanctity of Jesus Christ.

Tncreased Taxcs Imposed In Virginia
to FIJI the Treasury.


RICHMOND, VA, Oct. 1t.--when the tax
payers of the state generally understand
that the reassessmcnt OF lands and personal
property during the summer resulted in an
increase of over $50, 600 900, they will begin
to inquire why such is the case. SO far as
the actual money value of the property In
the state ia concerned, II may be safely said
that It cannot be disposed of as advanta-
geously to-day as last year, and nat
urallyy then, the reason OF this increase
OF taxable values will be closely examined
into, even II the property holder has 70 go
into the courts, which some have already
done In this city, for an abatement. II has
long been charged that the Democratic
party was determined to raise taxes and it
Is now shown that the charge was only too
true, and this step of theirs has had an
effect ON the present canvass against the
party responsible for II, which has greatly
strengthened the hands OF the Republicans,
who do indeed oppose any increase OF the
public burdens.
During the session OF the late Democratic
convention here one OF the prominent
leaders gave his party away as regards their
purpose to raise money for the treasury
(almost depleted) by this great increase of
assessments, but as the auditor OF public
accounts has made no report for two years
of the condition Of affairs of the state, no
positive charge, based on actual returns,
could be made until within the last fort
night, but from now until the 3D. Of Novem-
Der the people of the state will be fully in
formed of the bourbon method OF decelvlng
them by claiming to favor low taxes while
they increase assessment. This double
dealing will defeat them, and the people
may yet escape general gouglng from the
collectors.
1t is further said here that the taxes for
1886 will be based on the new assessment,
although that would be entirely contrary
to law.
There seems to be the greatest confusion
as TO what the bourbons can and will do In
the management OF the finances OF the
state, and the people are generally fully OF
the opinion that the Old Dominion is not in
that condition in which the Republicans
left 1t two years a go.
