Old Virginia Ih6Rs of Taxation Advanced In
tho Legislature.
To the Editor orsGs Iatellt0msE.
SrR:-Blood will show. Old Virginia
ideas crop out in the Legislature. One
gentleman rises in his place and proposes
that iaboring men be required to work
more days in each year on the public
highways. This is to relieve capital from
tax to make public roads. Good roads In
crease the value otproperty; this increases
the inheritance Of the property owners
children. Tie laboring mans capital is
his musCle and skin. When he dies all
the days he has worked on the highways
add no additional crnmb TO support his
children. More than half the land in the
State belongs to men and foreigners who
are exempt by law from working the
roads Such oppression makes dynamiters.
A gentleman from Jefferson wants 10
return TO the license system TO raise taxes.
It is fair to suppose that the gentleman
has imbibed deeply from the wisdom OF
the slave oligaYchy, whose object was to
exempt Us far us possible, property from
taxation and throw the burden on
labor and enterprise. They taxed the
income Of tho l2borer who earned $3.50
year or more by a sliding scale upwards
until they reached two percent Of his in
come. Professions were taxed, their in
come In addition. Shop.keepers and
merchants, all had to procure license
and were taxed according to the amount
OF their business, / suppose the OBJ
icct is to tax business Of every
kind; Just make shop.kecpes and
merchants pay license for
the privilege OF doing business, then
tax tile goods on the shelves and the ac-
counts in tho books. This is in accord
unce with Gov. Jachson's policy. He tax
ed exempted artiCles-the products OF the
farm and workshop. He values land
high because it is productive, then taxes
tho product and taxes the fertilizer the
farmer has on band 10 restore the exhaust
ed land. Trnly West Virginia has politi-
cal economists Ola high order and states
men equal To the emergency.
Tho gentleman from Jefferson looks to
Southern States for examples Of wisdom
! in taxation. Why does he not look to
States that have made great progress in ag.
riculture, manufactures and commerce for
examples in taxationP &c.

AbolIshinE the School Fund-1hC Blnir

To the Biiinr Of TIE LatclliS1Ieer.
SIR:-I do not propose to attempt to au'
swcr all the arguments OF the friends OF
Senator Dawson's constitutional amend.
ment. Taken all together they do not
satisfy my mind OF the policy Of abolish
ing the accumulated School Fund. Take,
for example, the argument most frequent
| " heard, to-wit:-that our generation is
under no obligation to provide for the
educational necessities Of the next. The
reason is not n sound one. We are under
lust such an obligation; and il We were
not, the argument, per contra, that our
generation has no right to sQuander, or to
appropriate 10 different purpose the
Fund devoted to school purposes by the
generation that preceded us, is the weight
ier one.
The claim that the Fund draws but n
small interest is not good reason for abOl-
ishing it. II is sufficient response there,
TO to say, that the interest it produces is all
that the money is worth, and is us great
rate, no doubt, as the same money
would produce in the hands OF the private
taxpayer-notably SO as 10 the farmer tax
payer. =,
In my judgment the Legislature Will
act wisely il It leaves well enough alone.
The present, it seems 10 me, is time
peculiarly for the conservation Of the
Fund. Let the members Of the Senate
and House unite efforts, official and per-
sonal, to induce our representatives in
Congress to vote for the Blair bill. I'm
der the operations Of the latter, enacted
into law, over million OF dollars will fail
TO the credit OF our State within few
wears. This amount added 10 the fund
already accumulated will give us IN en-
Iowment basis that will render our public
school system the nobiest institution OF
our State. CONSERVATIVE.

It Has Financially Ruined Major Burke
Should He BE Left to Suffer?
Washington Special.
The announcement was made the other day
that Major Burke had resigned his post as di
rector general of the New Orleans exposition.
1t caused little surprise among those in posi-
tion to know the circumstances under which
Mr. Burke was compelled to ask to be relieved
of the onerous duties devolving upon the respon-
sible head of such an undertaking 1t has been
known here for some time that the decision of
the Attorney general, which declared that no
part of the appropriation of 1865, 900 made by
Congress last session could be used in the pay
ment of Louisiana creditors would involve
Major Burke in financial disaster. This has
come to pass. In December and January,
during the first days of the exposition,
Major Burke became personally responsible for
the debts contracted by the management to the
amount of some $3.50, 900. 1t was expected that
the gate receipts would prove sufficient to cover
the Attorney general alrendered his decision under
which, after the payment of every outside cred
itor, about $500, 600 remains as unexpended
balance, the holders of claims for which Mr.
Burke3 had become responsible looked to him
for settlement of their demands. 1t is under
stood that he has surrendered both his and his
wifes property to satisfy these claims. Nothing
remains Of his fortune except share in the
Times Democrat and it is to devote his entire
energy to that paper that he resigned his place
as Director general Much sympathy is ex-
pressed in Washington for Mr.. Burke, espec-
tally as it is known that he refused the pay of
$40, 900 year as Director-general voted him by
the management, preferring to take stock to the
same amount in the enterprise and giving such
stock as a present to the Louisiana State Agri-
cultural College afterward.

The plague of locusts is upon the country,
with what general effect remains to be seen.
AT Clarendon, Mo-, On Sunday, the track was
so covered with army worms that freight
train was derailed while attempting to make
progress over the slippery rails In the States
of Vera Cruz and Pueblo, Mexico, the thirteen
year locusts have made their appearance, and
are destroying the crops in many places Re
ports from California say that grasshoppers
are ravaging the foothill farms. It is not a
new visitation, but every year the plague is
growing worse, Until now the grangers Of
Butte, Yuba and Tehama counties are crying
aloud for State cognizance and aid. The grass
hoppers are swarming down by the millions
from the dry foothills, and travel toward the
valley rivers, stripping everything as they 60.
The young wheat they eat close off to the
ground, the vegetables they destroy, the fruit
buds they particularly affect, while even the
bark of the trees is chewed off the peach
orchards. Not sign of vegetable life escapes
them, and their track is as bare as a section
of the Sahara. There is no occasion, however,
for alarm. The different portions of this
country are so closely connected by railway
lines that anything like general distress is
well nigh impossible.
The Indianapolis journal., 1885-05-21

The Washington Post which built up out
of nothing the sensational story in regard to
the renting of a pew by Fred Douglass in the
Presidents church" grudgingly prints the
pastors denial that Mr.. Douglass had rented
pew, or that any member of the congrega-
ton would object. The Post says DR.. Sun
derland doth protest too much, and offers to
give the names of certain of his parishioners
who did and do object to the presence of the
distinguished colored gentleman. Since the
Post aspires to be an administration organ, the
inference is that it wishes to be understood as
speaking for the President in this instance.
With all the criticisms of Mr.. Clevelands
failings, this is the first time he has been ac-
cused, even indirectly, of being a snob, and
even his enemies will be slow to heed the
organs insinuations.
The Indianapolis journal., 1885-05-21
Sly Mr.. Hendricks.

From all that can be learned there was much
more behind the visit of Vice-president Hen
bricks to this city than was represented It was
said the distinguished gentleman was in Phila
dephia only to stop long enough to make train
for Atlantic City, where he was seeking rest for
a few days. Now it is whispered that the seaside
was sufficiently convenient to the city for cer-
tain Democrats possessing more or less influence
to make pilgrimages there to consult with the
second officer of the government. From the
statements going the rounds, the visit to this
locality was for other reasons than that of mere
rest, the principal object being to learn some
thing of the reluctance to understand the temper
and desire of the Philadelphia Democrats, and
to acquire information as to the standing and
strength of individuals pressed for places under
the national administration.
Since the departure of the Vice e-president for
Washington there has been less talk as to what
will be done in the way of filing the federal Of
fees now held by Republicans, but the opinion
prevails that there will be clean sweep made,
even to the removal of Postmaster Huidekoper
Certain prominent Democrats are sanguine that
gentleman of their own political faith will soon
succeed the gentleman named. They State that
they have been abundantly able to show that no
rule of the civil service will be violated by or
dering the present incumbent to step down and
out. It is wholesale decapitation that is being
demanded, and as consequence nervousness is
manifested in all the Offices, particularly the Gus
tom house and postofice.

THE death Of ''Profeasor" Odlum, who per-
ished in jumping from the Brooklyn bridge, is
pitiable, as the death of any rash but harmless
creature is. Yet he had no one but himself
to blame, as many of h;s friends tried to per-
suade him from the peliloss feat. It now ap-
pears that Odlum undertook the perilous ven
ture for purpose Explaining his determi-
nation to do it, he said that he was about to
open swimming school, and intended
to jump from the Brooklyn bridge in
order to gain notoriety. This reduces
his daring to a very low level. It was just
Che same kind Of idea that made Boyton un-
dertake the foolish feat of attaching dummy
torpedo to a British man-of war, in the ac-
complishment Of which he came near losing
his life. A man who risks his life for the
purpose Of attaining notoriety may not de-
serve death, but certainly deserves little
sympathy in any accident that may happen.

IA MAN who stands near the President"
gives semi authoritative expression of Mr..
Cleveland's views OF what is to be done with
the public service. 1t will be seen to be full
of hope and encouragement to the Every
hungry and very thirsty"
''The people wanted him elected badly. and
would naturally be gratihed. to the Demo
cratic party for giving them what they want
ed. Above all, he was put in power to reform
the civil service and the country indorsed the
Democratic platform charging that the civil
service was rotten and corrupt to the core--to
the very smallest office. The country, there
fore, believed there were great frauds in the
service that had never come to light, pecula-
tions that had never been punished, idleness,
extravaganza, vice, theft, treachery, job
berry, abuses OF every sort that had
never been shown up. And these
rascalities were all done by men now in Office!
They and all their satellites, abettors screens
and apologists must be turned out and prose-
cuted the people said. But how to reach
them? Were they to be set to work to exam
inc their own books-to convict themselves?
The black records were all in their keeping.
If his chief had been crooked, every clerk
must at some time had evidence of it. The
clerk said nothing then, and would fearfully
keep silence now. Democrats-eager, hostile,
bitter--must get hold of that evidence Ro-
tation in Office was good thing. To re-
former it was necessary thing. The rascals
and the friends of rascals must go. This was
the logic of it. He faced the results squarely
and made up his own mind. And you'll see
the result from now on.
