some days sgitatiDg the question of a

yesterday that the legislature ought to

UNDER THE ROOF TREE.

Hello, Jiml Where have you been
lately?" shouted broker the other eve
ming to a portly, finely dressed young
man in the corridor of the st. James.
The gentleman stopped, shook hands
with his friend, and replied: "I've been
home to see my old father and mother,
the first time in sixteen years, and tell
you old man, 1 wouldn't have missed
that visit for all my fortune"
"Kinder good to visit your boyhood
home, eh?"
"You bet. Sit down. Twas just think
ing about the old folks, and feel talka-
tive. If you have few moments to
spare, sit down, light cigar, and listen
to story of rich man, who had almost
forgotten his father and mother"
They sat down and the man told his
story.
"How l came to visit my home hap
pened in curious way. Six weeks ago
went down to Fire Island fishing. l
had lunch put up at Crook & Nash's,
and you can imagine my astonishment
when l opened the hamper to find a
package of crackers wrapped up in a
piece of newspaper. That newspaper
was the little patent inside country week.
ly published at my home in Wisconsin.
l read every word of it, advertisements
and all. There was George Kellogg, who
was a schoolmate of mine, advertising
hams and salt pork, and another boy
was postmaster. By George! it made me
homesick, and l determined then and
there to go home, and go home did.
"In the first place l must tell you how
l came to New York. l had tiff with
my father and left home. finally turn
ed up in New York with a dollar in my
pocket. l got job running freight

me, and when 1 did think of them the
hard words that my father last spoke to
me ranked in my bosom. Well, went
home. l didn't see much change in
Chicago, but the magnificent new depot

Milwaukee to my home, and l tell you,
John, that train seemed to creep. l was
actually worse than a school boy going
home for vacation. At last we neared
the town. Familiar sights met my eyes,
and, darn it all, they filled with tears.
There was Bill Lyman's red barn, just
the same; but great Scott! what were all
of the other houses? We rode nearly a
mile before coming to the depot, though

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1888.

ELSEWHERE in these columns will be
found a clear statement of the cause OF
the disgraceful deadlock in the National
House of Representatives. Mr.. Oates,
the leader of the revolutionists, is an ex-
rebel of Alabama.
In the early part of the war direct
tax was paid by the States, to enable the
government to pay its troops and pur-
chase munitions of war. OF course the
States in rebellion paid nothing. Now
it is sought to repay this money to the
States that did pay. Ohio's share will
amount to about $1,300,000.
That legislation should be obstructed
by such methods as have prevailed in the
House for two weeks is disgraceful in
the extreme; but that proposition so
manifestly fair should be delayed by such
revolutionary methods delayed by men
who made the expenditure necessary
is striking commentary upon the polit-
ical situation of the country.

TNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with yirulent
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failing,we called our family physician, who attempt
ed to it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapdlty until the lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees was one solid rash-ugy, painful, blotch
ed, and malicious. We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura- Remedies. The effect was simply mary
elous. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked.
In my Oplmon your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child, per-
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

REPUBLICANS of Belmont county can
do their party no better service than by
extending the circulation of THE CHRoN-
ICLE the coming summer. The splendid
fight conducted last year, in answer to
the gage thrown down by the Gazette,
aroused the people and paved the way
for the brilliant victory won at the polls.
The paper will be kept abreast of the
best thought of the day, and will at all
times treat political and other questions
in straightforward and candid manner.
The newspaper, making regular visits
to the fireSide, is the most effective agent
in forming and crystalizing. public opin-
ion.
Liberal arrangements will be made
with persons disposed to solicit subscrip-
tions, and correspondence is solicited.

WHO PAID THE COTTON TAX:

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
This is an important inquiry, since the
Southern Brigadiers have announced
their intention to insist upon the refund
ing of the tax at the first favorable OPP
portunity for securing the necessary leg
islation. The argument is advanced
that if the direct tax levied on the States
in 1861 is refunded, then the cotton tax
should be paid back. In other words,
if $l7 100000, the great bulk of which
was collected from the Northern States,
NAV rightly be returned, then the larger
sum of $6S,000,000, mostly exaeted from
the South. should also be refunded.
This is the argument, but it is wholly
fallacious. The direct tax levied upon
the States was paid into the United
States Treasury, in so far as it was paid
at all, by the loyal States, while the
States in rebellion paid nothing except
what they have since been compelled to
pay in the way of set-off to claims
against the Government. They are still
on the books of the Treasury
with the unpaid balances, and the prop
osition now before Congress is to refund
to the States which paid and release
those which did not pay from their pend
ing obligations. 1t will be observed
that the direct tax came from the State
and, therefore, out of the
pockets of the people of the respective
States, who will be benefited by its re-
turn.
As to the cotton tax, while it was lev
led upon Southern product it was not
paid by the producers. Those who pur-
chased the cotton and consumed the
goods manufactured therefrom paid the
tax. 1t. was widely distributed, and
there would be neither justice nor equity
in refunding it to the Southern States.
There is no question as to the constitu-
tionality of the law, the Supreme Court
of the United States having affirmed its
validity. Thus it is plain that there is
neither sense nor reason in placing these
taxes on an equality as regards the right
Of the Government to refund them.
They are as opposite as right and wrong.

from it have little hope to be relieved of it this side

treatment of this terrible disease by remedies with
