GOV. FORAKER, Of Ohio, in a special m es-
sage to its legislature, points out that while
the expenses of that state are increasing its

business in the state; for some method to
equalize assessments, which vary enormous

Too Much Bent, the Bow Will Break.

The Philadelphia street car companies
seem determined to overtax the patience of
the long suffering people of that city. The
Traction company, powerful political
and business combination, in close league
with the Standard oil company, with
newspapers at its beck and councilmen
among its retainers, has been doing pretty
much as it pleased ever since it centralized
its present power. Since the recent strike
Of its men and the concession to them
of reasonable hours and living wages,
it shows a disposition to get even
at the expense of the city and
its citizens. At its request and
for its benefit plant councils
voted to repeal the five cent fare limi-
tation on future grants to the passenger
railways. Next the Traction lines take off
their early morning cars, and between mid.
night and dawn-when people who want a
car want it most of all--the Philadelphian is
| to be deprived of this convenience
1t will not do for the companies TO say
these cars do not pay. That may be
| Everybody knows transportation lines and
enterprises of every kind provide some ia
| cilities that make no immediate profit, il
order to keep up those that bring the large
returns. The street railways make enor
nous gains for their owners they havt
enormous privileges from the city, and the!
had better not trifle with their opportuni
ties. There is German aphorism some

THERE has been good deal of discussion
as to how and where and when the familiar
tune of 4" John Browns body, etc." origi-
mated. To it is sung Julia Ward Howes
Battle Hymn of the Republic !" but it is
pretty certain that the tune originally was
adapted from campmeeting tune, Say,
brothers, will you meet US % This, in turn,
was modelled from song written tor fire
company-"Say, bummers, will you meet
us?' The words of the "John Brown"
song were not based on the inc dent OF the
Harper's Ferry Abolitionist's life and death,
at all, as is popularity supposed. They had
origin in a reference to an entirely different
person. The words originated with me m
bers of the "Tiger Battalion" Massachn-
sets volunteer militia; and as these mem
bers subsequently enlisted in the Twelfth
Massachusetts, volunteer infantry (Webster
regiment), they claim the words and music
of the "John Brown Song" 1t first ap-
peared in April, 1861, in a quartette of the
"Tigers" - Jenkins, Edgerly, Purnette
and John Brown-and was simply a sort of
joke on the name of the last mentioned. He
was Scotchman, and failed to see any point
in the witticism, which, OF course, only
made it more lasting. The Twelfth Mas
sachusetts sang it in Boston harbor, at Fort
Warren, were the first to sing 1t in New
York city, July, lS6l, where it made seusa-
ton, and continued chanting it until it had
become 50 common property as to have lost
all novelty. They claim the adaptation OF
the tune and these words
"John Browns body lies mouldering in the
grave.
His soul goes marching on,
Glory, HalIelujah."
The regimental band (Maitlands, of Brock
ton, Mass, } was the first to arrange and pay
the tune. Two of the quartette are now liv,
ing in Boston, Mass. John Brown was
drowned in Virginia, June, 1862, and Jenk
ms whereabouts are unknown. All were
sergeants in the Twelfth Massachusetts
Volunteers,

In the last AMERICAN we noticed the fol-
lowing: "A correspondent Of the Clipper
writing from North Penobscot says This
town is notable in these points, it has no
doctor, or lawyer, no barber, nor rumshops,
nor no drunkards, neither has il a minis
ter" The AMERICAN evidently made a
mistake in applying this description to
Penobscot. 1t Is true we have no rum
shops or gutter drunkards, but it is not true
as to minister and doctor, as We support one
minister and have raised funds to employ
another, and medicine is represented by
DR.. Sprague, one of the most skillful ply
sicians in Eastern Maine; and as for law
yers, we have no need Of them, as We are
