INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT OF THE PERSONAL
PROPERTY IN STAUNToN.-The assessment of
personal property in Stanton in 1889 was
SIO76 7l3; in $780, 81 4A 65O-an increase of $751;.
937. The assessment of the personal property
Of the whites was 81 ,429 s42. and Of the colored
sl53OS. being only fraction over l per cent.
Where the whites are taxed ON their personal
property 500. the colored are taxed Sl.07. The
disparity IN assessment OF real estate we sup
pose Is even greater than this.
AS the colored uniformly vote with approx
innate humanity against the bulk of those
who pay the taxes for the support of Governs
ment and the Public Schools, it seems that the
principle for which our ancestors fought in the
revolution OF lS76-that taxation and repre-
sentation should go together-is disregarded
in the government of their descendants for
whom they fought. bled. and died."
In this there is no justice, but a generous
baneficence which is received by the oolored
under the vicious guidance OF unprineipIed
politicians. with ingratitude unnatural to
their dispositions. Justice would deny them
what q generous beneficence literally and
willingly bestows Would not the people Of
the North, under similar circumstances, de-
mand justice. and Danish benefcence?

WATER AS CURE FOR CoNsUMPTION.-
The announcement that DR.. W. II. Burt
would explain a new theory in the cure of
consumption caused large attendance at
Saturday nights meeting of the Chicago
Medical Society at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
Chicago. DR.. Burt's paper was mastery
in its exhaustive treatment of the disease.
He did not disappoint his audience in the
absolute novelty Of his theory. Eight
months ago; when reading Of the wonderful
change brought aboct in the obesity OF
Prince Bismarck through refraining from
the use Of water and carbohydrates, it &C.
CURED to him that an opposite treatment
ought to result in the cure of all wasting
diseases. His experiments since have
justified him in the statement that Excess
sive eating and the excessive use of water
will cure fifty per cent. of all consumptive
cases in theit first and second stages. He
explained at length the tonic influence and
power in building up tissue possessed by
water, which forms three-fourths of the
human Dody, ana stared Gnab even IN neairn
six pints day were necessary to meet the
water waste, and in disease twelve pints
charged with earbonic acid. The Doctor
claimed it would give the very life to the
system and TISSUES demanded in copsump-
ton. He pronounced the bacteria theory,
so popular of late, as pure nonsense. In
detail his treatment consisted of the free
use of water every hour in the day, nine
hours sleep regular and if possible the sea
or mountain air. Above all the patient
must look upon the drinking of water for
all time as his life. Heredity was the
great danger, and DR.. Burt advocated the
passing by Congress of a law forbidding
the marriage OF consumptives. With this
in force one hundred years from now con-
sumption would not exist in the United
States.
