81. Louis Republic
In Z spirited communication published
elsewhere Mr.. q. M. NApton directs q.
tentiou 10 the differences between the
Cleveland and the Harrison method ol
dealing with election frauds. Four years
ago large number OF persons In ST.
Louis who had voted the Democratic
ticket were indicted for election frauds,
There was clamorous demand for their
punishment aud for the complete un-
earthing Of the frauds. and in order to
make sure that the popular demand in
this regard should be met. President
Cleveland appointed . Republican to a.
sist the Democratic District Attorney IA
the prosecution. Not only Was this
done, but citizens committee, suppos-
cd 10 be non- -psrtisan, engaged distin-
guished counsel 10 reinforce the Govern.
snent prosecutors, and . large sum Of
money was raised, so that there should
be no lack OF funds for the work. Al
the present time . number Of Republi-
cans have been indicted for similar cleo
tion frauds, and not only 10 no citizens

matter, but instead Of the District At

rsscals ia sn alleged attempt to uuesrth
their guilt.
The Cleveland and the Harrison
method OF dealing with election frsuds
are thus sharply c0ntrasted, and We are
not surprised ct Mr.. Napton's iudigna'
ton. The public would no doubt share
lhis indignation. but for the knowledge
which has become general that fraud Il

as for the sparks to fly upwards, and th'
people st large recognize, just ss th
press does, the uselessness Of growing
cIsmorousIy indignant over any parti

position In the postotiice ct Canneltons
Ind. aud his appointment Of local pol
itician TO her place, seemed % ast0uOd-
ing, In view Of the declarations OF Gen.
eral Harrison when senator In 1886 con.
cerning the elaine OF this woman upon
the government. that gentleman Of This
vicinity sent on to Mrs. DE II Hunt .
copy Of the statement for verification.
The reply is as follows:
CANNELroN, Ind, June 2, 1859.
DEAR SIR Tho statements Of the In.
closed clipping are true. except that Ztm-
merman was only ex-chairmau. During
the last campaign he did nothing until
within week Of the election, and then
only because self-interest impelled him.
His appointment Was brought about by
William HeiIman, . wealthy politician
OF Evansville. Ind who wished the
place for his fellow countryman Ger
man, Heilman urged that unless the
Office was given TO Zimmerman, It would
injure the party among the Germans;
President Hsrrison was thoroughly in.
formed for, besides I'll the other papers
and documents sent forward, made :
personal appeal. By letter, TO him.
Very respectfully.
ISABELLE Dr. LA HUNT.
These ingenious statements mako the
case more solemn for Mr.. Harrison. The
|"infiniie pathos Of indignation which hs
felt in 1856 for Mrs. De ID Hunt may
have evsporated, together with other
passing sentimentalities; but the fact
that be has overpaid "workef" who
began work only after the distribution
Of the Dudley circular, must be regarded
by him as blunder worse than the in
sincerity which It accompanied.

Charles DENLY, Minister to China, has
written . letter 10 relation to Chinese
methods Of taxation, and Il IL published
10 the Consulate reports for March, 1859,
which WAS prepared and Issued before
the recent change in the State Depart
ment. The account OF the way the
Chinese are taxed II On interesting study,
whether We agree with Minister Denby's
conclusion or not
In the department where Minister
DENLY describes the system OF taxation,
arabic land only is taxed. and the tax II
according to the value Of the products.
Inside the city Of Peking there is 20 tax
lon lsnds. house or personal property |;
goods brought into the city pay : tax at
the gate and never afterward. II land u
sold there 10 tax OF 10 per cent. on the
price. There are license taxes on certain
kinds OF pawn shops 10 tho cities. Out.
side Of Peking, something like poll tax
is levied. There are other details Of the
tax system. but the conclusion given By
Minister DENLY covers the case.
The description Of the system which
|he gives shows, he says, that the bulk Of
1.-THE people pay no taxes whatever. "The
Imam who owns HE house and lot, his
OF labor, enjoys bic earnings
without toll or deduction" "H0w diff.
Iferent Il this condition" be adds, "from
THAT 10 our cities where sometimes per
|cent on high valuation is exscted foe
public purposes" Aud then comes this
statement:
"In China the chief tax Il on land |;
there is no tax on personalities. The
LAND tar. the salt mOncpolv. foreign and
native customs duties, and the proceeds
OF sales Of tonors and Offices make up the
revenue OF the state. To the absence Of
Of the body Of the people may
we'll be ascribed the permanence OF the
government aud the tranquility and
contentment OF the Chinese race"

Puzzled over n Letter nox.

There is new letter box at the corner
OF First and Spring streets, by the Ma
deau. 1t is not like the others, the sloi
for the reception of letters being replaced
by receptacle at the top of the box and
reaching all along the front. This il
usually closed, presenting no indication
of what it is used for.
The other day an old man came along
to deposit a letter, and missing the
familiar slot, he looked the box over on
all sides, top and bottom, back and front,
and not finding the receptacle, was turn
ing away in disgust. wondering what that
box was for anyway, when a newspaper
reporter, who always knows everything,
touched the little knob on the end of the
receptacle, when open it flew. The old
man looked as much astonished as if he
saw Aladdin before him, who said "Open
Sesame" and the world was his.

room to witness the proceedings in the
preliminary examination of Felipe
Chavez and M. Brunette, the two men
charged with the murder of Charles

The spectators, however, were doomed
to disappointment, fer as soon as the
court was called to order, District Attor-
ney Kelly moved for the dismissal of the
joint complaint against the defendants,
that separate complaints can be filed
against them. There being no objections
on the part of the defendants, the motion
was granted. Deputy Sheriff Brady
almost Immediately afterwards rear
