THOUGH 1t has often been asserted IL
has never been known positively be.
yond doubt that the tax rate In Will

were addressed In relation to the tar.
rate Wilmington comes In eighteenth
in number, while such cltles NJ Prov!-
dence, Boston, Philadelphis, Hartford,
Pittsburg aud Milwaukee have less
tax rate Il an Wilmington. Compared
with Reading, which is a city the same
size and population rs Whining
ton, the tax rate for the hrst 10 only
81. 80 and for the latter it Ia S1.75.
What makes the comparison still
more odious for Wilmington Is the fact
that the assessed valuation in Reading
Ia only ST. 1891, 461, while in Whining
ton 1t is SIS, 200, 900. Readings rate Of
taxation only produces 1921, 1857. Al and
Wilmington produces s406. 900. We
use the figures as given in the circular
read before the Board OF Trade last
night, not vouching for their correct
ness. Our understanding is that the
city tax rate, in ,luding school tAxe', is
only 81. As, and the assessed valuation
$27, oOO, 600, but even this gives reve-
nue. Of t406. 900 the same rs the other
rate. The appropriations, however, for
1856 were $442, 1874. There must be
q tumble in figures somewhere. Will

temple in the city, resigned last evening
after a continued passionate of seventeen
years. DIR. Sonnescheim is in his de-

known all over the country because of
his liberal views. He has fraternized very
freely with the Christian pastors OF this

past two years preached from Christian
p%ulpits. His resignation has been caused

All Quiet in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April 2 Missouri Pacific
freight agents are receiving freight this
morning for all points on the Gould South
west system, and the business of those
roads is again being regularly conducted
as it was before the strike. None of the
knights have gone back to work, but the
officials say they have employed sufficient
number of men since the knights left their
employ, to the freight traffic.
Everything up to noon in St. Louis has
remained quiet. The strike Of the trans
fer men renders the reception of freight
at the depots impossible, and no freight
trains have been started out this morning.
Switch engines have been running back
and forth in the yards without interior

Gladstone will Force the Issue.

LONDON, April 2,-Gladstone is riding
straight for a fall, the Pail Mall Gazeu,
declares this afternoon. HE refuses to
modify his Irish scheme and the result
will be that the country will have neither
home rule in Ireland nor Mr.. Gladstone. E"
The Gd=ette announced in the same
way precisely that Salisbury would ride
for a fall at the time the Tory premier
was arranging for his " defeat. 1t is
thought the editor has special knowledge
that Gladstone, being convinced of the
good policy Of his Irish proposals, and
that the Tory and Radical politicians have
determined to defeat them, means to force
the issue and bring about a defeat as soon
as possible.
