The subject ofrevising and chang
ing the tax laws of the State is likely
to occur. 1t is already given out
that Gov. Foraker will recommend
wholesale and radical changesin the
method ofraising State revenues, in
volving a system of bank taxation
which will raise a regular storm. 1t
is altogether likely that the liquor
tax will lie raised from 5000 to $500;
that manyforeign corporations now
practically exempt, will betaxed up
on their gross receipts and therewill
probably be a revaluation of real
estate ordered with an appointive
Board of Equalization. THERE'S
need of largely increased revenues
to meet the Republican idea of do
ing things and they will be raised
by the most radical methods if nee
essary.

The Michigan pensioners who
lately refused to accept their pen
sions on the ground that they had
recovered from the injuries on
which their claims were predicated,
contrary to expectation, turn out
to be men of sound minds. When
they die monuments should be
built over their bones. We never
before heard of a man who knew

All the Republican "indignation"

Reviewing at some length the
Democratic and Republican Presi-
Dental outlook, as regards 1888,
the New York Times declares itself
Convinced that at the present time
the clearest and most significant
facts in the situation are that party
ties are looser than ever; that the
independent vote is growing; that
itis more likely to decide the next
Presidential election than any 9TH

An important insurance tax case
has been decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States. A New
York company taxed upon its en-
tire capital, claimed exemption to
the amount invested in U. S. bonds.
The State Courts in the first in
stance, and now the Supreme Court
hold that there can be no exemp-
ton. There are several large insur-
ance companies in Ohio that will
hereafter be affected by this deci-
sion, which is certainly in the in
terests of taxpayers.

The recent investigationsinto the
condition of the working women of
New York have revealed a terrible
state of restitution, wretchedness
and misery amongst the members
of that necessarily toiling and
poorly paid class. Three-fourths of
the 100000 persons comprising it
work day and night for a rate of
compensation that rarely suffices to
keep soul and body together, while
the other fourth are driven to star
Walton and shame. Both the church
and society are called upon to come
to the rescue of these wretehed chill
dren of toll, and it is believed that
the revelations now being made will
lead to an organized and effective
effort for their relief.

that the "negro laborers of Alaba-
