sTAs,E AND COUNTY TAX LEvK.


So many base insinuations have been
thrown out by an alleged Taxpayer"
who is an anacknowledged oficeseeker, in
the alleged newspaper up street con-
cerning thestats and county taxlevy that
The Review places before its readers
this week plain statement in figures
to show the cause Of the state levy and
to expose the organized hypocrisy OF
the clique that is seeking, BY hair,split
ting subterfuges and downright falsify-
ing, to throw odium upon an honest
administration Of public affairs.
The state tax levy made for 1885
under the republican administration
was 4 mills, Notwithstanding the fact
that there was surplus in the treas.
ury Of S26s,2l2.45. The tax raised
amounted to 1915, ,lO4:o4 which gave
for the entire expenses of the state
for tlre year the grand total Of 1888,
-SI6.49 It is but justice to add, and
TIE REVIEW disdains all word juggling
and petty attempts to make party cap
ital, that this amount was swelled to
its large proportions II order to meet
the appropriations of the Legislature.
The state tax levy for 1886, still
under the Moody administration, was
81 mills, bringing into the treasury
the sum of $239, ,2S48l which With
eceipts from various sources would
leet the estimated state expenses OF
278,O06.38. The round sum of $le,-
90 of this amount was squandered in
le interest Of the republican party in
he extra session which was called for
the purpose of electing a republican
senator. OF course republican sen
atOr is luxury and comes high.
Then comes the estimated expen
ditures for 1887, the year in which
the republican administration was tc
retire, and the republican board BY
placing some SAT, ,6oO.62 Of money ap
propriatsd for specific purposes but moi

which to say the least, was a legisla

1t is only within the last few days that
particulars have been published in the
Swiss papers of brave rescue effected
on Mount st. Bernard the night of the
last Sunday in November. While
violent snow storm was in progress,
Grand, the manager of the hoSpice, no
ticed that his own special dog that was
alone with him in his room became very
restless and maze signs to him to 60 out.
He took the lantern and fog-horn and
went out on the mountain, the dog lead
ing him. In very short time he heard
a call and groaning. and, helped by the
dog, dug out of the snow an Italian,
whom he carried On his back into the
hoSpice. The rescued man stated that
his father, two brothers., and
another Italian, all journeying
home with him over the pass, lay
buried in the snow. He had pushed on
to obtain help, but had been overpoW-
cred by the storm. Grand made ready
and went out again. This second search
was more tedious and led him further
away, but at last the barking of a dog
announced discovery. 1t was the.
Italian stranger, who was now saved
and carried up to the hospice. A third
time Grand and his dog sailed out into
the tempest, and after quarter of all
hours search found the. others, near
where the second man had been dis
covered. They were quite buried under
the snow and almost insensible. He
took the most feeble on his shoulders,
and with difficulty conducted the others,
to the hoSpiee. 1t was now past mid
night. and his toilsOme task had Occus

Two women came before mandarin
in China, each of them protesting that
she was the mother of little child they
had brought with them. They were so
eager and so positive that the mandarin
was sorely puzzled. He retired to con-
suit with his wife, who was wise and
clever woman, whose opinion was held
in great repute in the neighborhood.
She requested five minutes in which to
deliberate. At the end of that
time she spoke: ''Let the servants
catch me large fish in the river, and
let it be brought to me here alive"
This was done. Bring me now the in

in the outer chamber" This was done,
too. Then the mandarin's wife caused
the baby to be undressed. and its clothes

creature outside now, and throw it into
the river in sight of the two women"
The servant obeyed her orders, fiinging
the fish into the water, where it rolled
about and struggled = diSgusted, no

Of the mothers threw herself into the

declared, and commanded that she
should be rescued and the child given
to her; and the mandarin nodded his

time the false mother crept away. She
was found out in the impOsture, and the

The Social Science club held its first
regular meeting last evening at the
Knights of Labor hall, on Jackson
street. There were about thirty men,
bers present. John L. Cronin occupied
the chair. A very able paper was read
by Prof. BrunSOn on the Subjec, 1.-THE
Production of Wealth." He said that
the English and French economists as
sociate the idea of exchange with
wealth. lie defined wealth as any COM
modify that satisfies our bodily wants,
and said that the production of wealth
consisted in the changing by labor of
natures bounty so as to make ii fit for
use. Labor and nature" the pro-
feSSOr claimed, .are absolutely necessary
for the production of wealth-capital is
not necessary" Continuing, he said:
people do not distinguish between cap
ital and capitalists. Capital is created
by labor, and, like all dutiful sons, rem
derS great help to the father. The
wealth of a country is limited greatly
by nature, and other things being equal,
that country is the most prosperous
whose natural resources are the great
eS. though labor and capital seriously
affect the latter"
The professor closed his paper by de-
fining and explaining labor and capital
in their relations to one another. He
quoted profuSely from Henry George,
John Stuart Mill, Adam Smith, Prof.
Jevne and other writers on social prob
lens.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the paper the club entered into gen.
eral discussion of the subject.
