Who Pays the Taxes?

They have just completed the assess
ment rolls in Chatham county, Ga, in
which Savannah is situated; and as
they make a distinction In property
owned by the whites and negroes, it
affords us an opportunity to see how
the latter are progressing as money
making race.
Here are the figures of the assess
ment rolls:
Population. Property. Per Head.
whites 17,49+ SI2o,42o,7So SI,5Io
Coioted 27,sIs 57I,45o 81
Tie negroes constitue II per cent. of
the population, but hold only per
cent Oft the wealth ofthe county. They
own altogether only GIL acres, or less
than an acre to the family.
If Chatham county and Savannah be
taken as tests. the negroes are pro-
crossing very slowly in the matter of
accumulatIng property.
They pay but 2 per cent ofthe school
taxes, yet call for as much money for
their schools as the whites. The great
difficulty that the South has the burden
it is compelled to bear is well Endorsed
in this very case.--Net0-O Orleans Times.

Tanner and Noble.

IA high officer of the Interior De-
partment who enjoys Secretary Mobiles
confidence" has made public series of
assertions concerning him which we
hope are true. He declares that Mr..
Noble does not approve the methods
of Tanner and his accomplices; that
he is anxious te get at all the facts;
that if they are as alleged he will de-
mand Tanners dismissal and that if it
is refused he will at once resign, him
self.
All this con be condensed into the
assertion that Mr.. Noble does not be-
lieve in fraud and ENLIGHTENMENT. We
believe that this is theoretically true;
only the event can DE relied on to show
whether it is practically true or not.
Mr.. Noble knows that the laws have
been violated as charged by the Re-
public. He has, on evidence forced on
his attention, forced Squires and Butts,
accomplices of Tanner, out of the De-
partment. Tanner has publicly adj
mitled that one of the most notorious
CASES of fraudulent re-rating had his
approval.
If Squires and Butts were guilty,
Tanner and his accOmpllces who still
hold places under Mr.. Noble are not
less guilty. He cannot consistently
claim to be so ignorant of his own de-
partment that his action must be gov
erned by the conclusions of his clerks.
Why then does he hesitate to act?-

And Why Not?

The many manufacturers of table glass
in this country come forward as the
latest monopoly combine. They have
taken steps to appraise and combine
all tie establishments Of the country
under one great trust. to limit produc-
ton, lessen competition, increase prices
to consumers and lesson both labor
and its wages. And why not? All
the others are doing it, and WHY not
the table glass producers?
There is high tariff tax on table
glass to protect the American industry
and presumably to increase the wages
of labor an give open competition for
all home manufacturers; but when the
establishments thus fostered by direct
taxes on consumers form monopoly
trust to reduce product and wages aud
increase prices above the competitive
standard, they proclaim that the tariff
protection is excessive and teach the
people that it must be reduced. And
why not? When protection breeds
monopoly extortion, why not reduce
it to the strict standard of protection
to the wages of labor? That would
crush out trust greed. Shall it not be
done? Ifnot, why not?-Philadelp hia

Chinch Bug Disease.

In the latter part of the past month,
Mr.. H. J. Waters, of the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, in charge
of the Department of Experimental
Agriculture, procured from the entOm-
ologist of Kansas, a half dozen chincb
bugs, supposed to be infected with a
contagious disease prevailing among
these ms cts in that State, completely
exterminating them in many localities.
These were scattered among large
number of healthy bugs on the College
Farm, to determine whether the dis
ease could be artificially introduced in
healthy broods. 1t is my pleasure to
report that the results SO far have
been highly satisfactory. On the
third day after the diseased bugs were
put out few dead ones could be found
covered with the white mold charac-
teristic of the disease. By the eighth
day they were dying rapidly near the
localities infected, and the disease APP
peared to be spreading. A few days
later they were dying by the thous-
ands, and contagion had spread over
the entire field. In a field one-fourth
of mile away the disease has within
the last few days gotten foot-hold, al
though no germs have been artificially
introduced into the field. At the
present death rate only a short time
will be required for the complete ex-
of the bugs on the College
Farm.
Prof. Riley, United States Entomol-
ogist, estimates that these insects dam
aged the crops of wheat, corn and oats
in this state i'm 1874 to the extent of
nineteen million dollars. United
States Statistician Dodge estimates the
damage done by these bugs in the
United States, in 1887. at sixty mil
lions. The direct money value to be
derived from successfully introducing
a plague that will even check the ra.
wages of that, the mos dreadful enemy
of the farmers, can readily be appreci-
ated.
Experiments are now being carried
out at the Station to learn the best
methods of introducing the disease
and also of keeping the germs through
the winter.
Farmers, desiring diseased bugs for
injecting their fields, can procure them
free of cost by addressing Mr.. Waters
at Colun,hia

Postmaster-Gene Wanamaker is
making extensive preparations to
back down from his position in refer
ence to the price to be paid for Govern
ment telegraphing. In an interview
published in the Philadelphia Press he
says that his order fixing the rate at
one mill per word twas not final, +"
but was in the nature of prop ,sition
to the Western Union Company, like a
first bid at clothing store. He intends
now to investigate the subject thor
oughIy, and if he finds that one mill
per word does not cover the cost to the
company, he will go on and find what
the cost is, and will make that 1.-THE
basis for fixing the rate finally" A
glance at the notification which Mr..
Wanamaker sent to the company
shows that when it was sent he had
no thought of making proposition
or first bid. His words were: / have
to notify you that the uniform rate for
the. fiscal year beginning July l, 1889,
and ending June 80, 1890. will be one
mill per word. irrespective of distance,
for all messages day or night" The
fact is that Mr.. Wanamaker is not up
to the business he now finds himself
engaged in. His promotion from the
clothing trade to the Cabinet has been
to rapid.-NeW York, Post.

There Is much that is significant in
the newly born interest taken at the
present time in the tariff question.
Up to the present time there has been
disposition on the part of the hopeful
to be patient, and on the part of the
"free traders to await their inevitable
awakening. Apparently the inevita-
BILE has come. The predictions of the
protectionists have not been fulfilled.
Wages, which they asserted would be
higher when Mr.. Harrison was inaug-
urated, have, in certain striking in-
stances, been lowered. Business has
been slack, employment unsteady and
failures frequent. The foyer for trusts,
which. though they may not be alto
gether the outcome of protection, are
nevertheless dependent largely for
their means of existence upon it, bias
developed into an epidemic. In fact
the reverse of the Republican picture
has been flashed upon the community
at large, which the people, who con-
fided in their superior craftsmanship,
are beginning to understand and grum-
BILE al.
These straws aud the comment they
have led to in an off political season
we regard as most significant. They
show that for the first time in the his
tory of the controversy the masses are
prepared to argue the question. They
were not prepared during the recent
campaign. for their judgement and I'M
derstanding were warped by partisan
passion then. The indications are
most encouraging to the tariff reform
ers, who should feel new incentive
to preach the goapel ofrevenue reform.
Now 10 the season for work. Let the
discussion begin anew. In 1892 it will
bear fruit. and this great nation will
be relieved of its incubus Of false and
thisving financial policy. Let's all
pull together for tariff for revenue

Almost everybody knows Water
bury. We do not refer to the Water
bury watch, but the Waterbury who
is to be watched. Waterbury is pres
ident of the great American binders
trust that by conspiracy has robbed
the farmer of the west of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The farmer who
has not heard of him has felt his claws
weighs all others. Waterbury pos
sesses a paradise on Long Island near
Brooklyn, and this place of delight
was fitted up by money from the pro-
time ago he gave an entertainment to
a select number of friends. Included
in the days programme was a circus
performance, the rehearsals for which
had been going on several weeks prev
iously. The seats were richly uphOl
stored in velvet, and everything else
was in keeping with the same style.
To get an idea of the style and display
at the entertainment, we may merely
state that it is estimated that the
blowout cost fully thirty thousand
dollars $50, 0OO) Waterbury howled
for protection last year and the farm
ers in the West took up the howl and
made the welkin ring. They went to
public meetings where spoke orators
whose expenses were paid with trust
money; they read and helped circu-
late documents gotten out by that
trust organization known as the
"Home mardet club" and finally cap
ped the climax by voting the trust
ticket. Waterbury howled for pro-
lection because he knew what he
wanted, and it seems the farmers
howled just to be bowling. Well,
Waterbury got what he wanted, and
can now give $50, 900 parties, and the
farmer got left. In the select crowd
at this meeting the only granger seen
in the neighborhood was the one who
brought the cream, and he remained
but an instant. Waterbury is to be
congratulated npon his good sense in
bowling for what he wanted. The
farmer-we1l, he's catching it.-Cdna-

THE SUPREME BENCH.

Tho Vacant Judgeship Not Likely to Be
Filled Until After Congress Meets.
WASHINGTON, DC: at is extremely
probable. If not altogether certain, that no
appointment to I'LL the~acancy on the Su-
preme Court bench caused by the death of
Justice Matthews will be made until after
the assembling OF Congress Notwith-
standing the statements that Attorney
General Miller has been selected for the
place, it can be safely asserted that no ten
der OF the vacant Justiceship has vet been
made TO any one. The President has had
the matter under consideration ever since
the vacancy occurred, and on Tuesday he
had talk with Judge Marston, OF Aichi-
.an, about the appointment
