A few weeks ago the Wilkes-Barre
Ne~sdedler, commenting upon the action
of d. A, l6, X. of L., in endorsing the
single tax movement, stated that it
would have been a wiser and more con-
servative course to have let that ques-
ton severely alone, as it "has been de-
clared in opposition to the doctrines of
the Roman Catholic church by some
prelates Of that body" We asked of
the writer his authority for that state
ment and he refers us to some back
numbers of Georges Stdndard, and tells
us we can find evidence in them that
such opposition has been declared. The
back numbers of the .Standa1d would
certainly be most uninviting to wade
into for that information, and we must
decline any such undertaking. 1t would
be more to the point for the Nersdealer
to name the prelates or give the dates Of
the Standa1d containing the information
we have requested. The question was
asked in good faith and we expected a
more definite answer.

1t has at length been announced from
Johnstown that large distribution of
the Relief Fund amounting to about
81, $50, 900, is to be made as speedily as
may be. The leisurely processes by
which this august commission has CON
Quoted its task of distributing the
generous gifts of the people to a stricken
community constitute remarkably
interesting study in incapacity. What
ever excuses or explanations may be put
forth, the fact that after the lapse of
nearly three months the greater portion
of the Johnstown Relief Fund remains
useless in the custody of the commission
is of itself reproach more eloquent and
more singing than any language of
criticism or denunciation could be. In
the annals Of benefcence there is scarcely
recorded a more dismal failure to carry
out and render effective the generous
impulses of the people of an entire
nation. The citizens of Johnstown will
have reason to remember this Flood
Commission, not with emotions of graft
tude, but as the chief stumbling block in
the way of their restoration to prosperity.

JoHN L. SULLIVAN was found guilty
of disobeying Mississippi's laws and
received a sentence of one year in jail.
The case was Immediately appealed
to the Supreme Court, before which
tribunal it will come in February. In
the meantime Sullivan is out on bail,
but is not by any means free man.
He must prosecute his appeal or
sacrifice his bond for $4,000, and he
must return to Mississippi and sub
NIT himself to the court or forfeit the
other bond for $1,000 for his appear
ance. Moreover, the forfeiture of
that bond would not release him or
act as receipt in full. If thesentence
should be sustained and he should
fail to give himself up he would be a
fugitive from justice, liable to arrest
at any time. Sullivan's lot will not
be a happy one until he has in some
way expiated his offence.

Nothing is exempt from taxation in
Indiana. Even the poor widows stove
or sewing machine must pay tax, or
be levied on and sold to pay the same.
Every male under certain age must
pay a poll tax, and if any one is enter
prising enough to cultivate farm, build
or improve a dwelling, or embark in any
business, the assessor takes him in hand
as if he were getting too smart and must
be punished. AS one instance out of
many as to how workingmen are "pro-
tected," we cite the following instance
of a Richmond mechanic who bought a
lot for the purpose of building thereon a
home. The lot was in the city outskirts,
and cost him $500, payable in certain
time, with interest. On looking over
the tax books he found that the lot had
previously been assessed at $50 valua-
ton, and paid annually 674 cents; but
no sooner was the transfer made to him
than the valuation was raised to $175,
and the first year he had $4 taxes to pay,
which increased every year according to
the extent of his Improvements. The
vacant lots held by the speculator still
pay nominal tax, although their valua-
ton has greatly. increased by reason of
the enterprise of adjoining builders. All
this may be perfectly legal" but if
there is any justice in it we would like
to have it pointed out.

Something New in Glass.

A new Persian industry is the manu-
facture of hoar frost glass, which is cov-
cred with feathery patterns resembling
those naturally produced upon window W
panes in cold weather. The glass is
first given ground surface, either by
the sand-blast or the ordinary method,
and is then coated with soft varnsh.
The varnish contracts strongly in dry
ing, taking with it the particles of
glass to which it adheres, and this pro-
duces very accurately the branching
crystal of frostwork. A single coat
gives delicate effect, and several
coats Weld bold DESIGN.

KING HUNBERr of Italy, no doubt

conferred the title of "Count" upon
one Of our most distinguished citi-

son, however, needs none of those
deceptive charms, for they can neither
give more power to his great inventive

wholly unnecessary here-for some

The new postal cards soon to be
issued will vary in size. There will
be three sizes, one a fine, delicate
card for ladies use, much smaller
than that now in circulation and of
much finer quality. Finely calendered
paper will be substituted for the old
buff blotting-paper. An intermediate
card of the same size as the one now
in use will be retained, and a new
large card will be introduced that can
be used for business purposes, and
will be large enough to allow much

The Sutro Tunnel.

The Sutro Tunnel, one of the greatest
mining enterprises OF the age, was sold last
Monday, by the United States Marshal, un.
der decree OF foreclosure issued by the
United States Circuit Court. The property
was bid in by the Sutro Tunnel Company of
New York, the price paid being SI,3z5, 900.
This tunnel was conceived by Adolph
Sutro, who organized a company and inter
ested capital to construct it. The project
met at first with general favor from the Com.
stock inning companies, but it was subse-
quenly opposed by those companies, headed
by The Bank Of California and the Virginia
City newspapers, which depicted Sutro as a
pirate, and denounced all who favored the
enterprise as his hirelings. The tunnel was
completed, however, notwithstanding the de.
rermined opposition Of the Bank ring, but in
consequence of the failure to develop eaten
s've ore bodies in the lower workings Of the
Comstock, the royalty from ores was not as
great as anticipated, and the stock was not
so valuable as its holders expected it would
be. The tunnel was mortgaged to London

State papers. While nothing much has been

Two years ago last November work was

not being overwhelmed with capital, and
therefore had to 60 slow. The ledge has
been traced over mile and there are tunnels
and shafts aggregaling over thousand feet.

the ledge is north and south ledge, and
dips TO the west at an angle Of about As de.

tanned; and is from ten to fifty feet i'll width,
with pay streak Of ore from one to three
feet in width on the foot wall side and little
less on the hanging wall side. The streaks
are continuous, and the ore as taken out for
5000 feet will work from So to $40 per ton,
under the process that is being used The
company has small two stamp mill located
ON the claim. run by steam power, but the
scarcity Of water preyents it being run more
than six or eight hours day. The scarcity
of water is th. only re al drawback IN The
little camp. There is an abundance Of wood
on the ground, and there is plenty of ore in
sight, that can be taken out through the tun-
nels at a very slight cost. There are three
tunnels tina, have been run on the main claim,
and the lowest tunnel is being run for the
double purpose of prospecting for ore and
water. If water cannot be Obtained in this

mill on The river, which is distant about FIVE
miles from the camp, and haul the rock to

From three to six men have been working
on the mine for the past two years, and have
made a living out Of the prospect, and it is
anticipated by all who have visited thar
