Political Kicking,

''Alcklng IL COuIcLup tuOuo Wy
Of ejecting person from ones pres
ence, and carries with it much force
and expression, and our cOtempor-
airy the Maryland Republican, in its
leader this morning, truthfully
says
"There is class of politicians whose
political ideas never rise above dollars
and cents. Every move made must
accord with a policy that brings in its
practical cash reward. Nothing can
be done except beyond it lies the ul-
terror object of personal gain. Great
party principles and the great welfare
of the people, .good laws, good goy-
eminent, everything is lost sight OF in
the ignoble sentiment what "pay Is
there lit for us ~ Politics has sunk
to low level with such people. And
when, as is unfortunately too often
the case, influential leaders in State
politics arc controlled by this senti-
ment, fraud and corruption and CHI
canery become the rule and there is
no use in expecting anything else from
this source.
Now, what is to be done in such
case Have the great masses of the
party no redress Is the whip to be
held above the head of every honest
man who protests Is everybody to
be silent and take what comes, be it
better or worse Is the freedom and
manhood of the people to be taken
away from them, their interests to be
set aside and no one open his lips J
Yes, no one has right to say word
against the party management-no
matter how corrupt it is, without CONF
ing under the ban as "kicker." In
stead of making criminal out of the
man who has committed the crime,
and bringing him TO his account be-
fore the party and Furnishing him as
he deserves, the one who attempts this
is put on his defence as kicker, F"
and unless too strong to be handled so

oat of the party. Fortunately the bet
tar sense of the people and the honest
undercurrent which turns their minds
toward party publication cannot be
long held back by such methods. The
great facts come up for judgment and
the great voice of the people will be
heard in the vindication Cf their
rights. Fraud must be checked. Hon
est men will not take part in 1t. Nor
will they sanction the retention Of its
fruits by those who have perperated
it. The great body Of tie people when
they resolve to redress their wrongs

An ingenious stopper has lately been
patented for use in bottles containing
poisons. The stopper is made of India
rubber and is surmounted by q perforat-
ed ball Of India rubber brightly colorcd
so as to render it distinctive in the light
and containing bell which rattles when
the bottle is moved, thus attracting
attention to the character of the
contents, even though it be impossi-
BILE to see the label. Such a warning
stopper would have rendered impossible

Thy ilnnrassinn

IN our opinion the TAX laws Of this STAR
are unnecessarily illiberal and oppressive.
During the year orr attention has been re
peatedly directed TO cases of hardship and
suffering occasioned by the work Of officials
in their attempts to enforce an exceedingly
savage personal tax law
Persons who are able to pay their taxes
easily give very little attention to the situa-
ton of others, but if some of them would
take the trouble TO watch the collection Of
delinquent taxes in this city, they would be
come convinced that the constitution and
laws Of Missouri need revision.
We do not believe that the necessities of
government in this state demand the taxa
ton of the clothes on a poor mans back
We do not believe the civilization of the age
is in accord with revenue policy that per-
mits the sale of the bed and bedding Of a
poor person for taxes. We arc also of the
opinion that the state exercises poor econo-
my when il increases its funds by the sale
OF the tools of citizens who from negligence
or misfortune may have failed TO pay few
cents due the personal tax fund.
From time To time we have been inclined
to berate the lawyers in this city who make
a business Of enforcing the collection Of per
sonal taxes.
The acts of cruelty required are such that
we often wonder that persons can DO found
willing TO do the work for the fees. But
the fact remains that the constitution and
laws Of the state authorize such proceed
ings.
The amount of revenue gained from the
enforcement OF extreme personal tax cases
in no sense iustities the law. In many de-
hnquent cases the fees and costs aggregate
five times the tax levy. A tax as small as 20
cents, when paid at the end of an execution,
involves an expense of 81 to the victim. The
tax agents are the real benefciaries in all
such cases.
In Kansas, personal property to the amount
Of 500 for each family is exempt from taxa
ton. Family libraries and school books Of
every person and family, not exceeding in
value in any one case $50 are also exempt.
These provisions are wise, economical and
humane. They are calculated to make the
citizens friendly TO the state, and they in
crease rather then lessen the number of tax
payers.
The member of the legislature Of Missouri
who shall investigate this matter and for
ward the required changes in the constitu-
ton and laws will engage in a work of hui
manity and wise political economy. The
exemption of personal property to the value
of even 500 would afford relief to many
persons who are now made the victims OF
over Jealous fee seekers. City MOI
