THERE appeared IN the August number
OF the Popular Science Monthiys very en-.
tertaiDiDg story entitled the HOctroi at Is
soire." 1t was written by Professor David
s. JordoD, In the form of . day dream at
the gates OF little French town, where he
sst upon nail keg to watch the police COL
lectiug the "Octroi." This was tax levied
upon all merchandise entering the town,
and In his imaginative sketch OF the history
Of this tax the professor makes . fine bur.
lesque OF the extreme high tariff policy. Al
q scholar he falls to indicate the proper linn.
its and scope OF . protective policy, and
confines himself solely to the exposure by
satire OF tho absurdity OF the theory that q
people can be made rich by taxation. After
telling Of the troubles and struggles of the
citizsns OF Issoire, and of how thoy finally
resolved upon reform, he shows how this
was prevented by the com ments of the pa-
pers OF the neighboring town OF Clermont.
In the Clermont Liberal were the head
lines, "Long live Mayor Jacques, the Re
former !" "Down with the Demsgogues, -
''Issoire coming to her Senses" "rhe
working men repudiste the Octroi;'
"Good prospect for the Clermont trade"
1t was on the very eve Of the election thai
the Clermont papers were received at
IssoiTe. 1t was enough for the high tan
party 10 declare that II the others succeeded
the city would be bound hand and foot ant
handed over to Clermont "Every wore
from Clermont In praise Of Jacques wal
one more nall In his oofiln" 'and 10 thu
oc.roi is still levied ct the gates OF lssoire,
poor dull little half dead town while
Clermont 10 thriving.

An Article I'm Elucidation Of = Paragraph Of
Senator Ingalis's Speech
Washington Special.
A special to the New York World from ur-
lington. n. j.. has the following interesting
statement about Senator Wall and the Belgian
rifles:
Senator ingalls, in his speech yesterday said:
''rhe Knights OF the Golden Circle which the
Senator said ne never belonged TO, had ritual.
of which liz copies were found in the Senator's
office at the time when Hancock WAS at the
bloody angie. In that same Office was found
correspondence between the Senator and
Senator from New Jersey, for the purpose OF
furnishing twenty thousand stand OF arms-not
to the national government because the Sena-
tor was not in sympathy with the national
government; not 10 the State government or
Indiana, because that governments in loyal
hands. butfor the purpose as might De imagined,
OF carrying out thsi objects and purposes Of
that organization
Senator Wall, who're name Is used in the In
gals speech, was ex-Mayor of Burlington, at
one time member of the Legislature, and was
elected to the United States Senate, TO fill the
unsxpired term OF John r Thompson, who died
IN December. 1864 The period he served was
only from January to March, whom William
Wright beat him for the long term. Senator
Wall was On exceedingly warm secessionist,
and some thought him insane the subject.
He offered TO sell to Senator voorhees, twenty
thousand Belgian rifles that were secretly stored
away somewhere in South Jersey. dozen or
two OF samples were on exhibition in Burlington.
1t was part of the plan, if the sale was consum-
mated, to equip the Engle Artilleries with them.
This military organization had it's origin in
the old Hope house and numbered eighty men.
1t was composed OF men of strong anti-Cnion
tendencies. 1t was named after Commodore
Engle. stanch Democrat but UnionisE 1t
was for moral effect that IL was titled. To
prevent being sent out under the draft act the
organization assumed military proportions and
applied 10 Quartermastsr-general Perrine for
arms
Major Allen, who was n stanch Unionist,
rushed to Trenton aud let the secret out that
these artillerists were not in sympathy with the
government The arms were refused them and
then an unsuccessful effort gas u ade to sell the
Belgian RITES 10 the Knights Of the Golden
Cross. During the anti-draft riots in New YORK
this organization and its sympathizers had
parade. Had IL not been moonlight night"
said one Of the participants I'VE would have
done some violence" The Union League quar-
ters were to have been destroyed that night.
Senator Wall made himself notorious by writ
ing scathing letter 20 Montgomery Blair, who
had suppressed unpatriotic newspapers. Gen.
eral Seward had him on his lst aud be was
promptly arresred and sent to Fl Lafayette.
where he remained several months in 1863. No
one Is able to tell how the 20, 900 stand OF arms
came into possession of the Burlipe ton people
Senator Wall died in Elizabeth IN 1872
