RIDICULOUS CHARGES.
A Straightforward EXPLANATION OF Her
sey's Mysterious Juggling with Figures.

a straightforward ExplanatiOn OF Her
sey's Mysterious Juggling Win Figures.
The Daily Republican makes glarin 4
misstatements in regard TO the assess
ment and collection of taxes. In the first
place the amount Of $24, 900 said to have
been lost to the county through
the neglect of the collectors
to collect the poll tax in Whining
ton hundred is simply ridiculous If
Solomon would stop TO think for mo.
ment what he was writing about he
might be tempted to blush Say that
there are ~ 600 voters in this city on
full assessment, (which Is 1000 more than
were ever polled). There are between 8, 900
and G. 900 property owners, say $500.
In that ., 800 there are 1000 negroes
who would not pay taxes or anything
else. There is, also, a very large class OF
white men who do not care to pay taxes or
anything else, and it is impossible to
collect from such impecunious fellows
Nov il is we'll known fact that after
the election OF 1884 the Republican
managers let their organization disband
and had no ticket in the field in 1885
Therefore they we're not willing TO pay
the taxes for either their negroes
or their white henchmau. since
they did not want their votes.
This leaves balance Of poll taxables Of
$500. There are at least 1900 poll.
taxables, who pay regularly every year.
Hence there are say 5000 only who de-
pend ON the different political organiza
tions to bribe them to vote and at the
same time pay their taxes,
The tax OF mechanic is $3.50 and for
laborer il is 81, or TO be more exact say
on an average $1.25. The highest possi-
BILE number then Of bought taxables,
5, 600 at the average rate of 81 .25 would
amount TO only SO, 1875, provided all of
that number could be bought.
But all of that number could
not be bought so that the amount $24, 600
set down by the Daily Republican is pre-.
poaterous. These facts ard figures refer
to the years 1856 when every body had
ample opportunities to pay tax.
Although these facts were we'll known
to the Levy Court, Sol Jersey had the
impudence 10 distribute among the
members copies Of his paper with I
marked article containing the above
ridiculous and ignorant statements.

The CONDITION OF THE JAIL.
Report of the Levy Court-@5OO for Re
pairs TO Plumbing.

pairs TO Plumbing.
At yesterday afternoons session of the
Levy Court. the following report on the
recent investigation of the jail, was read
and adopted:
Ia the matter of the report Of the
Grand Inquest upon the condition of the
county Jail, and which by direction of
the Chief Justice, was referred to this
body; as Committee of the Whole to
whom the matter was referred, we
would report as follows:
THAT we fully recognize the fact that
the jail is Inadequate to accommodate
properly the average number of inmates,
and that something should be done
either TO relieve the jail of some Of the
prisoners or that more room should be
provided. We are also we'll aware Of
growing feeling of the public that new
Jail should be erected in the city of Will
uiington, the county seat. The citizens
of New Castle complain land
we believe with just cause) that
as the county seat has been removed
from their city against their desire and
protest that the jail, which is constant
menace to the health of the city should
go with it. We are also fully cognizant of
the fact that our people throughout the
county through the general business de-
preston, and the exceeding low price of
grain are now previously burdened and
we do not think il wise to add to the all
ready heavy load by the expenditure Of a
large sum ofpublic money to make the jail
what in our opinion 1t should be; but
rather wait until the next meeting Of the
General Assembly, and to request such
| legislation as will relieve the county from
the burden Of the maintenance of a
greater part Of the criminal class, or at
least provide some way in which they
can be made to earn enough to meet the
cost Of caring for them, besides meeting
out to them in daily labor, the punish
ment they deserve for their transgression
OF the law
ITO meet the fear Of disease from the
overcrowded condition OF the Jail, for the
present we recommend that the jail com
missioners. who are men of experience,
be directed to, as economically as possible,
repair and remodel the plumbing and
sewerage system, and TO provide under
the direction of the jail physician and the
members of the court, proper hospital
facilities, at cost not exceeding $500

THE sad and fatal accident to an esti-
mable and beloved young girl here brings
up .he question, are horses dangarousf
The answer which She daily newspapers
make is yes. It is frequently asserted
that more fatal accidents occur from
the use OF horses than from any
meaus Of transportation It is a notable
fact that people, from long familiarity
with the usually gentle and docile
horses. exercise entirely too much temer-
ity, ana are TOO careless in dealing with
horses. A horse often has more sense
than man, but still he has not enough
sense to be trusted, carelessly, with the
lives of women and children.
Many horses arc frightened at
any sndden or unusual sight and many
become frightened and temporarily in
sane from no apparent cause whatever
1t is only by the exercise Of the most
watchful care that horse, no matter
how old and docile, may be guarded from
sudden fright and disaster to himself
aud to those people who depend ON him
for transportation. The fact is, all horses
may be considered dangerous Some require
more careful watching than others but
every horse is liable to become dangerous
from fright at some time even If he is
not naturally vicious

The niggling efforts 10 disConccft 10 that
