We give in this issue a number Of
local laws, passed at the late session
of the legislature, the most import.
ant being Chapter SIS, providing for
the appointment of County Treas
urer. This law should be read care
fully by every Taxpayer in the
county. 1t provides for the appoint

ished an Office in or near the court
house, and the Taxpayers are re-
quired to pay their taxes there. The
treasurer is required to sit one day in
each district, where payment of taxes
may be made. Taxes become due on
the 1st day of August, and during
that month 5 per cent. and during
the month of September 4 per cent.

taxes are not paid before the 1st day
of January. interest will he charged

OVER THE OCEAN.
ENGLAND.

LONDON, March 21.-In the house OF COM
mons today Mr.. Parnell moved the second
reading of his arrears Of rent bill. He said
that he and his followers still had an OBJ
lection to solving the rent question by a
general bankruptcy Of tho tenants
The house refused to order the bill to q
second reading by a vote of 32S to 243.
Mr.. Joseph Powell Williams, member
for South Birmingham, liberal unionist,
moved his amendment to Mr.. Parnell's
motion for the second reading of the ar
rears of rent bill. The amend
meht declares that no bill will be
satisfactory unless it deals also with other
than debts for rent. He argues that ii one
creditor was to be compelled to come into
court all creditors should be compelled to
do the Same thing He said it would be
useless to protect the tenant from the
landlord If the tenant were to be subjected
to oppression from other creditors. II The
landlord was disabled from recovering
rent because the rent was excessive, was 1t
a fact that storekeepers and money lenders
had taken no extortionate profit.
Viscount Ebrington, liberal unionist,
seconded Mr. Williams motion.
Messrs. +. W. Russell, l.. A. Sinclair
Frazer, Mcintosh, Hobhouse, Flnlay and
Dixon, all unionists, supported Mr.. Par
nell. After Easter the government will
introduce bill on the lines OF Mr.. Will
liams' amendment; almost identical with
the bankruptcy clauses.

GATHERED TOGETHER.
Germans of New York Meet to Listen to
the Memorial Services Of Emperor
William.

New YORK, March 21.-Steinway hall
was crowded by Germans and German
Americans tonight. They had gathered
to take part in aud listen to the memorial
services Of Emperor William of Germany.
The vast stage was crowded with must
clans and singers, all the German societies
Of this and adjacent cities being repre-
sented The services were begun by the
orchestra playing the Trauer Marsch from
Wagner's Goeterdammering.
The first speaker was Hon Carl SchurZ
He said In part: "Finally came the day
day when he placed upon his head the
crown he thought God had given him. He
believed 1t honestly; he believed that who
soever opposed the king was foe of God.
His army was as he thought, the sword
Of God, and himself responsible to the
Divinity only. That was his constitution
alism. He was not an ordinary despot.
He had warm heart far the people and
therefore the people loved him. He felt
the necessity of being loved. he yearned to
be popular. He va, amiable by nature
But not only was the peace of his own
country what he desired; he had it at his
heart to see all Europe peaceful and pros
porous. He was not a conqurer All his
wars tended towards uniting and benefit
ting the German nation. 1t can truly be
said OF him that he prevented more wars
than he proclaimed. All nations have for
these reasons mourned his loss. His heir
follows his glorious example, and upon
him the German nation bestoWs the love
they have felt for his father. Great indeed
is the inheritance May the good fortune
the father enjoyed be enjoyed by his son."
Hon. John I. Biglow also spoke.
