President Corbin Shows His Hand.
Austin Corbin. president of the l.. B. & W..
had little talk with the reorganization commit
tee Of the Cleveland & Canton. In the course Of
the remarks he said; ..As indication of the in
creased facilities for, and command of, business
of which this company might avail itself by the
change of its gauge and equipment. beg to say
that the Indiana, Bloomington q Western Rail
way Company, which represent, would cheer
fully enter into proper traffic arrangement,
whereby the territory tributary to this property
would be vastly extended and whereby it would
secure volume of business in both directions
which it is impossible to obtain; and no
doubt similar arrangements with other compa-
MES, reaching still other territory, could also be
made. Our system does not Immediately con-
meet with the Cleveland & Canton, but am as
sured that can arrange on reasonable terms for
such connections as will enable to interchange
traffic, and that we can work together. You can
readily see that an allied road, If positively
friendly and one that will not exact any
elusive privileges las ours should not), would add
greatly to the business of the company. Our
company is an entirely independent one. operated
only in the interest of it's own shareholders, ard
is free to offer reciprocal business relations to all
companies that can work with u.s."

Once again the church bells in all
parts Of the civilized world have rung
out the old year aud ushered in the
new. .A'h! how m1hy have watched
the old year writhing in its death agon-
les and recalled the pleasant assocta-
tonsconnseted with it; how many will
look back in the after years and swestly
feeall the days which are no more; and,
still again, how many viii shuddoringly
and with vague aprrehsnsions Of sad
ness look upon year which is "cnly in
memory nov" But 'lat the dea1 past
bury It's Dead" aud on thia frat day of
A HAIRY new YEAR only recall such
sssociations Of the past ss will bring us
JOY. On .bis day we should all unite in
ferTent praise to Him who rules all
things, for the care he has taken of us
in the past, feeling glad that "that
which nas hss been no morse" II we
wish 10 make a auccrss Of the coming
year, we must an Join hands in good
fellowship; and go in with the dotermi-
nation 70 succeed no matter what OBJ
s,aclcs present themselves. Only in
this way viii the years as they come
and go, bring unto each one Of us al
abundance. of the fruits Of the labors

therefore, is that the coming year will

lr will hardly be claimed by those
who are familiar with municipal gov
crnment at home and abroad that Am
erican cities are better policed, better
paved, better cleaned, better managed
in any important respect than the cities
Of Europe. Certainly no one will claim
that New York, Philadelphia and Chi
caSo are superior in these respects TO
London, Paris and Berlin. But the
cost Of municipal government in the
cities named is out of all proportion to
the benefits received by the TAXPAYER.
In London the cost is $40 for each in.
habitant; in Berlin it Is S7.S5; in Paris
IL is $40, and Paris, ,is-notably.- -a.clean
and well-managed city. The cost of the
same government in Philadelphia is
SlO.00 per capitai IN Chicago 1T Is a
tride more, slG.1S; S;sw6iie.m New York
II rises to the figure of s36.65. Nothing
can be said by way Of justification OF
this enormous difference of expenditure.
The explanation IS too plain for argu-
ment to be admissible. In no city OF
the world is there so much extravaganza
corruption and incompetence In the Ad,
ministation of local government as in
the city of New York.

FIGHT AGAINST THE NEW 1AxLAy

Several citizens sofLackawanna county,
following the lead OF citizens Of Berks
county, have applied to the court for an
injunction restraining the Commits
sioners from levying the three mill tax
on mortgages and other moneyed capital.
The injunction is asked for on the
ground that the act under which the
tax is levied is unconstitutional. II is
claimed that the title of the act does
not properly express the subject matter;
that it does not properly designate the
portions of the old law which it repeals
that it allows unwarranted exemptions,
aud does not lay uniform tax upon
the same class of subjects.
Technical questions Of this kind the
courts must decide, says the Philadel-
phia Times, and It may be assumed they
will do so without bias or prejudice.
Brt it is probable that these objections
are raised for the sole purpose Of finding
a loopholc by which large share of the
property of the Commonwealth may
escape its just share of the public
burdens. With this phase of the ques-
tion every one can deal. II the law is
really unjust, il 1t lays greater burdens
upon this form of capital than upon any
other, then Its repeal should be demanded
without any regard to whether it has
been correctly or careessly framed. But
from this standpoint the law appears in
the main to be a just one, and all efforts
TO defeat its purposes cvincc a desire on
the part of their movers still to escape
the taxes which their especial form of
property has heretofore succeeded in
avoiding.
Il cannot be said that tho tax of three
mills on moncyrd capital is excessive.
II is less than the tax under the old law
and is accompanied by provision
e%empting from all forms of local taxa.
ton. Capital invested in real estate,
while exempt from State taxation, is
liable for and cannot escape from Il much
!, heavier rate of local taxation. The
complaint OF the inquisitorial nature Of
the provision for its collection is frivo
ous. Honest men will not care how
inquisitorial it is and as to those who
only want preteXt to avoid payment, {
tax law cannot be framed that vii
suit them and be good for anything.
There Is little doubt that If this much
sbiIsed law is properly enforced it viii
open the way for some reduction of tn,
local burdens which real estate now ha
to bear The revenue derived from thi
sorrre, taken together with the corpora
tion taxes, should be sufficient for tn
great bulk of the State expenditures
making it possible for the Legislature
TO divert the revenues received iron
licenses to the treasures of the variou
counties. Numerous attempts hav
heretofore been made in this direction
only to fail because the revenue coul
not he spar ed from the State Treasury
If the moneyed capital of the State
compelled to pay its Just proportion O
the State burdens, the diversion of th
license taxes to the use of the countie
In which they are collected will bc a yer
easy matter.

THE National Republican as the
result of an exhaustive inquiry concern
the future decisions in The House Of
Representatives in regard to the an
limited suspension Of silver coinage, a
table showing that 14s Democrats and
50 Republicans are against suspension
and 80 Democrats and 9l Republicans
in favor of 1t, The noticeable feature
in connection with the matter is the
division of the members upon sectional
lines. The West and South are practi-
cally unit for coinage, while the East
and Middle States appear to be almost
as solidly in favor OF Suspension.

1t seems strange enough TO think that
we are in the very midst of winter. Re-
ports are read Of the extreme cold al
ready experienced by the more northern
States, and they excite comment. The
coldest weather we have had so far has
only been 20 degrees above zero in the
early morning. The days, mainly, are
poetical and dreamy enough to satisfy
the most particular person. No time
need be lost by worker, except during
the rain storms that occasionally visit
us. And such is life in the South.
