The Tax: Question.

Our people are little restless nuder the
apparently heavy taxes they have to
pay and as the State is q big sort of thing
without soul, it gives little comfort to
grumble at that; 30 the people generally
take it out in finding fault with their
editors and representatives, because they
can get at them easy enough. The tax
payers should know that certain things
are settled and will not be changed. For
instance the interest on the State debt
and the current expenses of the govern
ment have to be paid. Then current
county expenses, the two mill school tax
and interest on county bonds cannot
be avoided. There is no way of getting
rid of the State debt except by paying it
off, and the same applies to county
Indebtedness. Then some other things
are pretty we'll settled and cannot be
changed. 1t is the fixed policy Of the
State to make liberal and gradually
increasing appropriations for the State
University in all its departments. Then
the Winthrop Training School, at Colum.
bis, will call for increased appropriations
as the years roll by. The taxpayers may
make up their minds to meet appropria.
tions necessary for these expenses. No
reformer, or reformers can 60 to Columbia
and cut off any of these expenses. Your
reformer generally has some pet scheme
of his own and in order to carry that
through he will swap off and "log roll
with riders of other hobbies. For instance,
send man to the Legislature who is a
Citadel man but. opposed to appropria.
tions to other institutions. He will be
there only short time before he will
understand that they must all stick too.
-gether and your reformer goes for the
appropriations every time. In this way
an agricultural college and training
school in each county are possible in the
near future. The taxpayers may settle
down to the fact that taxes will be made
lighter, but will increase faster than
assessment values and population.

In the Azores.

There are no beaches and but little OF
no level ground on these islands. Most
of the roads are excellent, equal, if not
superior, to anything that our parks can
boast of. While ut Fayal I had several
rides along these smooth, clean, hard
roads. They are lined for miles with
flowers, the most prominent being tho
hydrangca, whose flower clusters some
times exceed ten inches in diameter, and
were SO close together that the leaves
were hardly visible. For miles we could
see this magnificent shrub doing duty as
fences for their fields and gardens. 1t
appeared like passing through park like
gurden. The road skirts precipices and
passes over hills, giving o magnificent
view of the country; and then descends
through valleys and crosses many water
courses spanned by good substantial stone
bridges. These people use the same OK
cart as their forefathers. The wheels, a
circle of wood with iron tires, and the
axlcs simply q huge stick firmly wedged
in the wheel and kept in place by a wooden
pin.-Cor. Pittsburg Post.

Dong Khan and His Brides.

Queen Hoang-Q Quiphi is one of the young
est and loveliest Of the hundred and odd
wives who help to make life pleasant for
his Majesty Dong Khan, the potentate of
AMMAN, and now that she has become
mother is generally boss and overseer over
all other brides. The king can have all
the wives he wants. The clever idea of
exempting from taxation all his fathers
and mothers-in-law has been very success
full, and he has the choice of each seasons
debutantes. Theirs, however, is not the
life of an American girl who marries well.
They are divided into nine classes, and are
told of, thirty each day, to look after the
king, dress him, perfume him, polish and
trim his finger nails, and generally to
make life easy for him.-The Argonaut.

Wanted TO Be a Pirate.

Washington Irving in his early youth
had a longing to go to sea and be a pirate.
He determined to make the attempt, but
wisely decided to prepare himself for it by
preliminary experiences. He began by
eating salt pork. That made him sick.
He then slept for night OF so on hard
boards. That made him sore. 1t was
enough. He had no more desire to go
away.-Chicago Herald.

Muscle ,1oremeuts After Death.

DR.. Brown Sequard has just read q re-
markable paper before the French Acad-
emy of Sciences on the movements of the
muscles after death. Many psychologists
believe that these post mortem movements
are due to atmospheric causes. DR.. Sequard
controverts this, although he does not
deny that they may be partially brought
about by variations of the temperature
He argues that the real cause Of such
movements is to be sought in the vitality
of the muscles, which remains in dead
body sometimes for forty-flve hours after
death,-Frank LeSlie'S.

proach if 1t should be adopted be-
fore your party obtained control OF
she Legislature, x and this l
laid bare to the public gaze and you
had not the courage to deny, &C."
No, have neither the courage
nor disposition to deny the truth,
but reaffirm and emphasize what l
said before, viz: that the fact of the
existence in both old parties of 80
large a proportion of liquor men
and other voters who Gas the Judge
declares) care more for party than
temperance, would subject the
Amendment, if adopted, to the dan
ger of becoming byword and re-
proach, for the want of a party to
enforce it. And in this posi-
ton l am fully corroborated by the
able and interesting discussion now
going on in the two leading Repub-
lican journals of the State, the
Intellig encer and State Journal The
Inteltagencer insists that we already
have complete and ample temper
ance laws" unexecuted, it seems to
intimate, for want of sincerity and
honesty in professed temperance
men. To which the Journal replies,
citing, for example, Wood county,
where for the last two elections
have been nominated for Prescott
ing ATTORNEY Repu blicans who
would enforce laws, "but they
couldn't be elected because" Gust
as 1 Intimately "the liquor vote
and influence went to the Demo
cratic nominees" and then very
pertinently asks, "What are tenn
perance Republicans to do?" The
discussion is exceedingly interest
ing, practical and important, and
we hope the IpteIlige1acer will re-
spond to the inquiry. Will these
distinguished journalists allow me
to suggest that there is but one
remedy in State or Nation, and
that is not in putting new wine in
old bottles, but new bottle for the
new wine-the real friends of tenn
perance from both old parties uni
ted in new and better party,
whose interests and delightit would
be to enact and execute Temperance
laws. The faithful execution of
these laws by either old party
means the party's execution. And
while we are not to rejoice even at
the death of the wicked, and while
we would cast no reflections on
anybody's theology, we confess that
to us, in the face of the fact that
the honest masses of the country
have at last determined upon the
destruction of this great curse, the
position of these old parties is very
truthful,y and graphically indicat-
ed by the poet, where
be says:
You can and you can't,
You will and you won't,
Youll be damned if you do
And you'll be damned if you don't
