the usual kicking, but that has sub.

LOWERING THE PENALTY

At every legislative term, some
wise legislator. who is greatly inter.
ested In the poor, dear people, intro.
duces u bill lowering the rates of in.
terests OH delinquent taxes and argues
that inasmuch as the state legislates
against usury, it is unjust to compel
tax payers to pay usury, OH delinquent
taxes.
The difficulty, with this class Of
reasoners, is that they forget hotl, the
theory and practical principles which
necessitate the payment Of taxes.
Tho foundation of all government is
partly financial. 1t is the mortar that
binds the stones, 1t is the "sinews"
that hold together and govern the
movements Of the whole buly. The
measure of q nations strength is as
much in its ability to pay taxes as In
the size of the armies which it can
raise. N" government could survive
the non payment of taxes. Taxes are
therefore a necessity to the prrser.
walton Of the good government Of the
people. and any law which prevents nr
puts OIL the payment Of taxes must lie
against the interests of good govern.
ment. A law which makes the penal.
ty for non payment of taxes equal to
simple interest, only invites all
tax payers to become borrowers.
In this country the majority Of ppo.
pie are borrowers. and simple interest
on delinquent taxes would result in
the majority not paying until forced.
1t would also place the state or county
in the position of u bunker or lender,
without the choice of its borrowers,
with a certainty of lending to the least
desirable Of that class. 1t needs 40
argument to prove that it is against
public policy for the governcent to
loan money in this way, even though
1t had a surplus revenue. But it is Il
matter of fact that of the taxes paid.
there are nearly always some funds to
to which a part Of such taxes helong,
which need the money ut the time,
and ii the taxes are not paid result
In the issuing of orders bearing in.
terest. and arc also subject to the an.
noyances and increased expenses al.
ways incurred by buying OH credit
system. These losses have, at last,
to be borne by the tax payers, and the
result is. that in spite Of the law. lie
must pay double interest, to.wit: In.
terest on the taxes not paid and inter.
est and discount OH orders issued he.
cause of no money in the treasury.
But the latter loss falls on the delin.
qnent and the man who pays in time,
alike, and is u manifest wrong to the
latter with no special benefit to the
former.
Hence. the law assumes that govern.
ment is necessity; money is necces.
sary to government. that u govern.
ment whose credit is less than par is
less than par value us u government,
That no more taxes should he levied
than are necessary, and these should
he collected within a given time, and
less than extraordinary pen.
alties will secure these prompt p,ly.
ments.

THE SALARY SYSTEM

1t Is questionable whether the re.
suit Of the new salary system will re.
suit In the benefit of the tax. payers.
In the register cflice the fees will re.
main the same. and it will he no saw.
ing to parties doing business with the
register except the small Fraction,
that it may reduce their taxes. It is
also stated that much of the work
now performed by the register is not
necessarily his duty and that under
the new system that lie may, or will,
refuse to perform them unless lie has
tile fees. Another result of the sal.
airy system is that the incentive to
do all the work possible in order to
get the fees is taken away. and in
such cases the work has been known
to drag months behind, greatly to the
Inconvenience of the public.
1t is probable that tile $4,000 salary
connected with the register office and
the other possible perquisites viii am.
ply pay the register for his duties, but
in the case Of the treasurer. th&tom.
pensation In county of this sig. is
too small for the labor and response.
bility involved. II the work was
simply routine and the responsible.
ty was simply question of handling
money with honesty and ordinary
ability, even then. $1,000 would lie a
small salary. But when the officer
has to he guided Ivy intricate and of.
ten blind statutory enactments
whose authors were ignorant of every
thing pertaining to the treasurer,

Union General Harrison was self-possessed
and showed no signs of the fatigue Of travel.
There had been some correspondence be-
tween the Whit, House people and General
Harrison before he latter left Indianapolis,
and, as n result of that correspondence and
the sending during the afternoon Of a note
from the President General Harrison and
Mrs. Harrison were on that night the guests
of President Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland
at dinner, the only other person present being
Mrs Folsom
The invitation had been issued for 80, and
few minutes before that hour General and
Mrs. Harrison drove up to the White House.
Upon entering the building General and
Mrs. Harrison left aside their wraps and

A New Mineral.

A new mineral has been discovered
named Sperryite, in honor of tho man
who found It, Francis l.. Sperry, OF Sud
bury, Ontario, chemist to the Canadian
Copper Company of that place. 1t is es-
sentially an arsenide of platinum and OF
great interest, since platinum has not
been found before as an important con-
stituent of any material except the alloys
with other metals of the platinum group.
The mineral was found at the Vermillion
mine, in the district of Algoma, province
OF Ontario, q place twenty-five miles west
of Sudbury and twenty miles north
of Georgian Bay, on the line Of the Al
gonna branch of the Canadian Pacific
hallway. The mine was dis overed in
October, 1887, and three-stamp mill
was put up for the purpose of stamp
ing gold quartz. Associated with this
gold ore are considerable quantities OF
pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and
at the contact of ore and rock, and occu.
pying small pockets in decomposesi
masses of the ore, there is quantity OF
loose material composed of gravel
containing particles of copper and
iron pyrites. 1t was in milling this loose
material that several ounces Of the arsen-
ide of platinum were gathered on the
carpet connected with the stamp mill.-

The existence of the large stables for
these horses jn the centre OF the city,
with their outfit cf hay and fodder, and
manure, is cause Of danger, and in
time all our horse-railroad stables have
one liter another been destroyed by fire,
causing destruction Of adjacent property
and. tho roasting Of cavalry regiments oi
horses. During the tie-up in the latter
part of January the elevated railways
worked with all their might. and large
proportion of the operating and business
people felt no concern about the street

showed their annoyance, and the loss OF
occupation, and therefore OF value, wai

In a Bath for a Year.

A unique remedy for eczema and
other cutaneous diseases is Hebra's
water-bed, or rather. to define 1t accur.
ately. continual bath. The patient lives
entirely in his bath, eats, drinks and
sleeps there till he is well. One patient
was kept in such q bath for 3S5 days.
Think of thisi More than year oi
washing dayl 1t is enough to make
anyone hate the sight of water forever.
There is slight danger of the patient
slipping under water in his sleep and
drowning; but it is usual to pass band
age under his arms and fasten it, so as to
support the upper part of the body on
the inclined part Of the bath, on which
the head rests. The palms and soles be.
come white and shriveled like washer.
woman's hands, but the skin of other
parts of the body does not suffer, and
the treatment is said to be very effica
cious in severe burns. When the patient
first gets into the bed the temperature i:
eighty six degrees, but as he gets used
to it it is raised by degrees to ninety.
eight degrees. Hospital.
