In THIS issue of the HERALD will
be found the new revenue law pass
ed by the late Legislature. 1t makes
vital changes in the methods OF tax
alton, and shenld be studied by the
taxpayers so that they will be pre-
pared to meet its requirements when
the Assessors call upon them in the
performance of their duties. To
persons with monied investments it
is of particular interest. The new
duties imposed upon the Prothono-
taries and Recorders throughout the
State. for which no compensation is
provided, will not strike these off,
cials as being particularly agreeable.
The feature of greatest interest to
the taxpayers of this County is the
reduction of tax On money at inter
est, from four to three mills, and the
stringent and carefully guarded pro-
visions for the assessment and col
lection of that tax.

PoUGHKEEPsIE July Ga gentle
man who arrived from Chatham,
Columbia county, to-day tells Of an
APPALLING hailstorm there last Mig
At half past six it seemed to burst
with immense weight, and for ten
minutes hailstones rained down
upon the village with appalling
force. They measured all the way
from one to three inches in dame
ter and banked up along fences like
winter snowdrifts. The roar Of the
storm and the crash of breaking
glass was frightful
EFFECTS OF THE STORM
People were knocked down in the
streets and horses ran away with
fright. Large hailstones crushed
upon and through tin roofs and
closed blinds. Where blinds were
not closed, and people started to
pull them shut, men, women and
children were hit by the hail and
cut and bruised about the face and
hands. One hundred and thirty-six
panes OF glass in the windows of the
Methodist Church were destroyed,
100 in the village school house. Big
trees were fairly stripped OF their
foliage and young fruit trees were
ruined All the street lamps of the
village were smashed, corn was cut
away entirely, leaving only the
stalks standing, and the ground was
SO thickly covered with hailstones
that it could not he seen, everything
being covered with glaze of ice.
BIRDS KILLED.
Robins, sparrows and other birds
were found either dead at the foot
of trees or with broken wings and
legs. Lambs in the field were NOW
ed down by the bail and killed.
Hot-houses in every direction were
destroyed. and hailstones were taken
out of buildings by the hodful, and
chickens within the limits of the
storm were killed.
The storm was apparently about
four miles in width and did not last
over ten minutes. Hardly any
wind accompanied it and but little
thunder and lightning. Damage to
roofs and windows estipated at 81,
600. Total damage, $4,000

SENATOR LoNGENEcKER was no
nominated last week, but he ran the
gauntlet of the State press without
a harsh or unkind word being said
against him, outside of this County
He wss simply unfortunate in tax

start, and in being backed by the

The influence of the Philadelphia
Press in Philadelphia politics is
shown by the fact that although il
fought Quay's nomination for two
months with the meanest insinua-
ton, and the foulest Democratic
ammunition, there were but four OF
the fo-ty-six delegates from that city
voted against Quay, and it is stated
they would not have done SO but
that they had paper out to Long.

The Pennsylvania railroad and
the Vanderbilt people are trying to
harmonic their differences, and put
an end to rate-cutting between them.
This has given the knowing ones"
the opportunity tor asserting that
the basis of peace is to be the aban-
donment of the South Penn a. road
To agree to the loss of the five mil
lions already expended on the South
Penn would be paying rather dearly
for peace, in the estimation OF
most folks. The Vanderbilt people
are not quite SO reckless with their
cash.

laws against this evil be strictly en-
forced.
4 We at the same time invite
public attention tc the acts of the
present Democratic National and
State Administrations-to the un-
just war of the former upon "offen-
sive partisans"-.o it's hypocrital
avoidance Of pledges touching the
civil service, to its star chamber pro-
ceedings against Republicans for
whose removal no public reason can
be given, and to its constantly dis
loyal preference for the rebel ele-
ments of the party at the
South, and the semi-rebel elements
of the same party at the North.
Home attention to the acts of the
Democratic State administration
cannot be withheld, in view OF its
unjust, inexcusable and painfully
frequent abuse Of the veto power; its
studied prescription of the Union
soldier. and denial of claims uni
/ versally sanctioned at the tune OF
his enlistment its want of charity,
breadth and iberality, together
with q partisan bias carried to ex-
tremes not dreamt of by any of the
better elements which called it into
power. t

Republican party takes direct issue,
and carries its appeal to a people

pectatlon and promise.

their natural lot and portion. Unless
there shall be yielding such as Great
Britain has not been accustomed to, the
Congo country will not be apportioned
and allotted among the powers without
trouble involving resort to arms.
Germany, the great and gaining
empire of Europe, has grown to such
proportions that it treats England as an
inferior rather than an equal, whereas
only few years ago the Germans
esteemed it an honor to be classed
among the nations that we're regarded
as of sufficient Importance to attract
the consideration OF the English. Ger
many has lately taken the Saman and
other South Pacific islands under its
wing without asking the English if they
might do so, and some of those islands
England has hitherto regarded as her
own.
In Asia the Gear is encroaching upon
British prerogative if not upon British
Territory, advancing his own frontier
at the expense of that OF the British
Empire or dependencies of that Empire.
The relations of the two giants are
strained to the utmost and it would not
surprise the world if war were declared
before matters were adjusted.
Canada and Australia continue loyal
and undisturbed with regard to the
mother country, but the local dissen
tons in each are somewhat threatening
to peace and harmony.
All of which combines TO present a
highly gloomy outlook for the Queen s
government. It cannot be said that
any signs of decay of the empire are
seen, for with all that is threatening,
there is no suggestion of real loss. nor
indication that the English will not be
able to hold their own against the array
facing them. The threat is of bloody
wars which are more likely to result in
victory for Great Britain and an enlarge
of her dominions than the reverse. 1t
will require the exercise OF the best of
craftsmanship and the wisest of coun-
sells to keep the English from being
driven into terrible conflicts before the
world is much older.
