Taxnavers 70 Confer.

There will be meeting OF taxpayers this
evening at the CITY exchange. The D lrpose
of it is TO discuss the city tax ordinances fer
next year in connection with the recent
decision of the suprems court. According
to that decision personal property must be
taxed at the same rate as real estate.
There was meeting a few days ago Of
quite a number of taxpayers who are
engaged in the banking business, at which
the effect of tax levied in accordance with
the supreme courts decision upon that
business was discussed. No conclusion was
reached, however, because it was thought
TO be better to get an expression OF opiniol
from all classes of taxpayers as to the policy
that ought TO be pursued in levying the tax
for next year.
The dilemma in which the city council
finds itself is very well unders God. 1t is
thought that tax levied in accordance
with the decision Of the supreme court
would be so heavy a burden upon certain
interests that the prosperity of the city
would be injured, and yet the way to avoid
levying the tax in accordance with that
decision does not seem TO be clear.
The MORNING NEWS suggested several
days ago that in view of the opinion ex-
pressed by some lawyers that in rendering
its dec son the supreme court acted rather
hastily, and that if the same question were
brought before it again and fully presented
it might reverse its decision, it would be adj
visabls to try to get another expression
from the supreme court at once on the tax
ing provision of the constitution. No doubt
the meeting of taxpayers tonight
will have a good effect, because il will
show the city council that its efforts
to do what is for the public good are appre-
ciated; but at the same time the taxpayers
ought to bear in mind that what is wanted
is not the airing of the grievances of this
or that taxpayer, but practical suggestions
as to what course the council ought to pur-
sue in ievying taxes.
1t is quite evident that if the supreme
court decision is not complied with there
will be trouble. There will be those who
will refuse to pay their taxes, on tue ground
that the taxes were not levied in accord
ance with the constitution. If, therefore,
the meeting tonight thinks that taxing
real and personal property at the same rate
would be hurtful to the city, the thing for it
to dois to advise that steps be taken TO have
the supreme court again pass upon that
provision of the constitution that relates to
the levying of taxes. If there is any other
course that can be pursued with the pros
pect of successfully avoiding the objection
to the one-tax rate for all classes of prop
erty, it has not yet been suggested.

The resolution introduced into the Senate
day or two ago by Senator Manderson,
instructinG the Secretary of Agriculture to
make very thorough report upon the sub
ject of the production of sugar from beets
in the United States and Europe, and also
to suggest what legislation he considers
necessary for the promotion of the sugar
beet industry, is wise one. 1t met with
the approval of the Senate at once, and
within few months one may expect in
formation that will direct attention strongly
TO the sugar beet a means of largely in
creasing the production of sugar in this
country.
The making Of sugar from beets has been
! successfully tried in California and Kansas,
and perhaps in other states In California
the growing of beets for sugar has been
| found profitable. The climate of Kansas.
| however, does not appear to be very we'll
| adapted to the beet, though the yield per
acre in some localities in that state is quite
| large.
There is no doubt that the sugar best could
be protitably grown in all the Southern
States. In the South Atlantic and Gulf
| ASOestSS pal UlSNAaAAyP Bull cOuNl %
readily found and their climate is all that
could be desired 1t requires good deal of
money, of course, to inaugurate the sugar
beet industry in any locality, because a
mill for making the sugar from beets costs
a large sum; hut the money will not be
wanting when it is clearly demonstrated
that the industry can be made a success.
Germany makes an immense amount of
sugar from beets-more, in fact, than she
needs for her own consumption. Her ex-
| ports of sugar are quite large If the sugar
beet industry were once fairly established
in this country it is probable that in a
comparatively short time it would reach
such proportions That we should not have to
import much, if any, sugar. At present the
| duty collected on the sugar we import
amounts to more than 1900. 600 year. If
the Secretary of Agriculture should make
such report as would lead to the cultiva-
ton of the sugar beat upon a large scale in
the southern states, he would win a reputa-
ton of which he would have reason TO be
| proud.

that she had good cause to faint. The band

To Winter.

Ha! here you come to make us wheeze;
| see your fingers on the trees,
And hear you shouting on the breeze
The storm clans slogan.
You'll soon be here to nip my toes
And paint my cheeks with sunset CLOVIS
And freSco this old chin and nose
With blue and purple.
/ hear you've been. you rowing fellow,
Among the Australasians yellow,
And soaring with your blatant below
The far Fuegians.
You're getting rough: fear you pass
Your time too much with Boreas,
And that star-mantled gypsy lass,
The dark-eyed Solstice.
Old friend, together many a year
We've journeyed on through foul and clear,
And now, old comrade lend an ear
To my petition.
This year, pray you, leave your blows
In cold Arcturus with the SHOWS;
winter gently come TO those
Who have no shelter
o, touch them kindly, kindly deal
With those who most your rigorS feel;
In Widowed raggedness they kneel,
And crave for mercy.
Buster around the itch mans door,
Make him unlock his golden store,
Each year increasing more and more
His deeds OF kindness.
Roar round the miser till he quakas,.
Nip him and strip him till he shakes,
Freeze him aud squeeze him till he makes
A big donation.
And in the cause of science. pray,
Keep out the ice from Baffin's Bay,
So polar heroes win their way
To frozen glory.
Let those we love, though they abide
Far from us now, come to our side
Happy and well at Caristmastide,
And we will bless you.

in connection with the election Of 1888.
Well, Col Dudley has been in Indianapolis,
and he is as free as if Jail had never been

misleading statement, but it is character
istic of the Press. Col. Dudley was not
arrested, as the Press knows very well,

Not a Complete success.

From the NeU York Tribune.
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana is known al
over the country as one of the greatest jury
lawyers of the present day. In nearly all OF
the murder trials that have within the past
twenty years attracted the attention of the
public more especially in the west he has flo.
| ured as one of the leading counsel and has gen
orally been selected to deliver the final appeal
to the jury. He is an eloquent peader, and
more than once has succeeded in swaying the
emotions even to drawing the tears of his au-
diences. But he has not always been success
full His early days were marked by failures
which now, however he can afford to look back
to with composure. He was recalling some of
these not long ago while chatting with q group
of congenial companions Said he:
II remember suit which was tried before a
Justice of the peace In Indiana when | was a
young man. wherein lady was the plaintiff
and bank the defendant. Ttle evidence tended
strongly to prove that the fair plaintiff had no
right to recover, and | knew. as her counsel

my client would lose her case. l therefore
labored hard in her behalf, and did succeed in
arousing the squires sympathy, to such an ex-
tent even that before long the tears came trick
ling down his cheeks. felt greatly encouraged
at this evidence of the force of my argument,
and concluded my address by declaring that it
did my heart good to believe that the honorable
court, in the exercise or a sound discretion,
would not allow the rights of q pure and noble
lady to be trampled beneath the cloven feet of a
soullesS corporation.

other puff at his cigar, and the company looked
expectant.

ITO tell the truth, gentlemen, the squire
rendered the following rather comprehensive
decision: The plaintiff in this case said he
is woman, and her counsel has, for the last
hour, touched the sympathy of the court in her
behalf. aud l am glad of it; but think. under

NISTlIIl-IIEALTlI.

The policy which has been en-
forced during the past two years
has resulted in the segregation of
nearly every leper in the Kingdom.
The systematic pursuance of this
policy in Norway, during the last
80 years, has reduced the number
Of lepers in that country TO one-third
the number existing at the initiation
of the policy.
1t is believed that strict ADLER
ence to the policy of segregation
will stamp out the disease IN the
course of a few years. The present
indications are that high tida'has
been reached, and that the number
of new cases developing will stead
lily diminish. With this object and
hope in view, the Cabinet will con-
tinue to carry out policy of rigid
segregation of every person having
the leprosy. In addition to these
preventive measures no reasonable
means looking toward medical treat
mentand investigation of the disease
will be neglected. The recent ac-
QUESTION to the staff of the Board of
Health of DR.. Adolf Lutz, special.
list in the study of the disease, will,
it is hoped, give valuable results.
