''There is more complaint at and around

more odious than that same locality. Periur-
ers, dead-beats ex-convicts and reprobates
generally, are seemingly recommended to Office
with good deal more zeal than the just
claims of honorable and meritorious gentle
men are thought of being pushed. Such con-

The "Jeffersonian simplicity" of the DEM

been demonstrated A Washington special
to the Courier Journal says that Secretary
and Mrs. Manning entertained at handsome
dinner party of eighteen covers, Tuesday
night, President Cleveland and his sister,
The other guests were Secretary and
Mrs. Whitney, Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle
Senator and Mrs. Voorhees, Secretary Endi-
colt, Senator Hampton, Secretary Lamar
Mrs. Fairchild, wife of the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury; Mr.. and Mrs. Robt L.
Foyer, Of Albany; Mrs. Andrews of New
York, and Mrs. Cassidy of Albany, who is a
guest atthe White House. The cards at each
plate bore the Manning crest in silver and
name in pretty text. There were baskets of
hybrid roses and hyacinths at the ladies' plates,
and an oblong bed of growing pink and white
tulips were surrounded by single camellia
blossoms, which were afterwards given to the
gentlemen as boutonniers. The silver service
in use was very elegant" The Manning

DoRMAN B. EATON has once more resigned

DoRMAN B. EATON has once more resigned
as Civil-service Commissioner, and it is to be
hoped that in new appointment Mr.. Cleve-
land will recognize the spirit and the letter of
the law. No honest and candid man can
doubt that the purpose of the law was not to
have more than two of the Commissioners in po-
litical harmony with the administration. That
is las plain as the nose on aman's face Yet, since
the great reform administration of Mr..
Cleveland came into power the spirit of the
law has been willfully violated by having three
Commissioners upholders and supporters Of
the administration. For Mr.. Eaton to claim
that he is Republican, and therefore eligi-

THE contested will case brought by the
heirs of w. F. Storey, late owner Of the
Chicago Times, and now in progress, develops
some curious occurrences in the life of that
eccentric editor, and some remarkable conduct
on the part of certain persons with whom he
was in confidential relations. AS an instance
of the latter, it is brought out by cross exam
ination of Mr.. Trude, the attorney who looked
after Mr.. Storey's legal business for some
years previous to his death, and who wrote the
will now in dispute that he purposely drew
that document loosely, for the reason that he
did not regard the testator as Of sound mind,
and, knowing that it would be contested,
thought it advisable to lend his aid to the
complainants in advance. One reason given
by Mr.. Trude for bis belief in Mr.. Storey's
insanity was the fact that, in die
tating this will he left the bulk of
the property to his wife, and persistently
refused to listen to the attorneys urgent adj
vice that he make requests to certain relatives.
These relatives did not, it appears, have any
special claim upon the testator, and were not
needy; but it hurt Mr. Trude's feelings dread
fully to have them left out of the will, and
Mrs Storey provided for more literally than
he thought proper. Mr. Trude it may be
added, is now attorney for the heirs whose
cause he 80 valiantly espoused in advance. If
the will isn't broken, he can assure them that
having done what he could from the very
beginning, it is not his fault that they do not
get what he considers their share Of the
property.

The question Of jamestown subscriber,
to which reference is made, was printed and

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
"Are national bank notes subject to State, county
or municipal taxation, either as the property of hank

Jamestown.
'They are."
The sections which our courteous Williams
town friend desires printed are as follows:
sSection 37O1-All stocks, bonds, money,
notes, and other obligations of the United
States, shall be exempt from taxation by or
under State, or municipal or local authority.
''Section 5413-The words obligation or
other security of the United States shall be
held to mean all bonds, certificates of indebt-
edness, national currency, coupons, United
States notes, Treasury notes, fractional notes,
certificates of deposit, titles, checks or drafts
drawn by or upon authorized officers of the
United States, stamps and other representa-
items of value, of whatever denomination,
which have been OF may be issued under any
act of Congress"
It is remarkable fact that, in the greed to
escape taxation, not few people confound
national bank notes or currency with national
currency or Treasury notes, and insist that
under the two sections quoted national bank
notes are exempt from taxation. Of course,
almost any one who does not need to 60 to
night school knows better, and, therefore,
the answer we gave our jamestown inquirer
is absolutely correct-national bank notes are
not exempt from taxation. It is to be hoped
our Williamstown friend will acquire an ac-
cess of information from this statement. The
Journal has replied to this question more than
a score of times, showing that there is quite a
prevalent desire on the part of holders of ma
tional bank notes to escape taxation.
