pours out the most peculiar, the most

rollicking and tipsy OF all bird music.
He is not SO abundant here as he was
in the days before he was shot by the
thousand by sportsmen as the reed bird
OF the lower Susquehanna and the low
err Delaware. and before a set of worth
less men and boys here in southern
New England acquired, through some
body's ingenuity, a trap which catches
him. He was here in rather greater

Looking Backward.

Those simple rhymes OF other days
We never shall forget.
Each line Of those old childish lays
Is fresh in memory yet.
They linger in the halls OF thought
Like melodies in tune.
"Hey, diddle, diddle! The cat and the
fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.''
The better rhymes and newer songs
We've heard in later years,
Have from the heart forever gone;
Still memory adhcres
To those old words whose import strong
Into oar lives has grown.
"Old Mother Hubbard, she went to her
cupboard
To get her poor dog bone"
Why does the heart so fondly cling
To youthful thoughts and themesl
Up from the tender wales OF spring
Come all our later dreams.
We still recall the youthful times
And for their pleasures sigh
Little Jack Horner sat in u corner,
Eating Christmas pie"

The Dog Had TO Climb.

We were comfortably seated around
the hearth at Porter Lake, in Pike
county, Pa, and the spirit OF story
telling was strong upon us, because
the fishing had been unusually good
and the supper bounteous. The flash
and sparkle OF wit filed the upper air
OF the room as with fine aurora, and
q halo OF calm bliss encircled the
brow of each entranced listener. But
first the drug and then the antidote.
The benevolent colonel drew US down
gently from the giddy nights with a
story OF coarse plebeian, locally
known as a catfish. Thus ran his tale:
"a man and his dog went fishing in the
Mississippi. In n short time the man
felt a mighty pull on the line, and he
knew that catfish had taken hold.
The giant came along peacefully
enough until he happened to change
his mind, ana then he decided to
double on his course and take the man
along. The faithful dog. seeing his
masters danger. rushed to the rescu-
bravely enough. The willy catfish,
when he found the dog pursuing, turn
ed upon him and terrified the dog, who
incontinently turned tail and swan
vigorously toward the dry land. the
catfish holly following. Presently the
dog gained the land and ran hastily,
the catfish surging after him. The dog.
sorely pressed and fearing painful
death, in his extremity climbed "A
tree, the catfish still pursuing"
Hold on! hold onl" we cried in
chorus; "dogs cannot climb trees"
Cant climb a treeP" responded the
colonel. 'But the catfish was close
upon him, and this dog had to climb"

The southern people who advocate
the colonization OF the American
Negroes in Africa, as the best means
of solving the race problem, do not
mean what they say. This is evident
from the alarm which invariably
spreads among the southern planters
when an exodus OF the colored people
takes place. There is considerable
excitement in the vicinity OF Cedar
town, Ca, over an exodus of Negroes
to Arkansas. Plantations are said to
be left without single laborer, and
every effort has been made by the
whites to stem the current. The ex-
masters of the south do not want the
Negro to go, but want him to remain
as a newer of wood, q drawer OF
water, and an object upon which to
vent their spleen when in bad
humor.

The New York World anticipates
the work of the census bureau by pub
fishing an exhaustive review of the
taxable wealth OF the country. The
statistics were obtained rom the
treasurer OF each state, and are based
on the actual returns OF the respective
Offices. The total assessed valuation
of taxable property is twenty three bill
lion seven hundred and nineteen mil
lion dollars, and the actual value
sixty-one and a half billion. The in
crease since 1860 is equal to twenty
five per cent, and since 1886 nine per
cent. In addition the people of this
country own three billion dollars
worth of property abroad. Estilnat-
ing the population at seventy millions,
the total value of property, If convert
ed into cash, would give every man,
woman and child in the United States
nine hundred dollars.

Late advices from Brazil are 10 the
effect that the political eituation there
is not 80 serene as appears on the sur
face, and that serious uprising is
possible - even probable. A great
deal OF dissatisfaction is expressed with
the provisional government, which
has been pursuing a rather arbitrary
course, and an outbreak may occur at
any time. Ii is undoubtedly true that
there are forces at work in Brazil
inimical TO the new republic; but there
is no great Danger to DO feared from
them, unless they can secure European
sanction and aiS, and this they are
endeavoring TO do. The United States
has not yet formally recognized the
new republic, and in the light of re-
cent developments over there, this is
perhaps judicious, although our recog-
milton might have very potent inAu-
ence toward preventing an effort TO
overthrow the republic.

lnefe Is one meJhOu Tot the hDOulOh
OF trusts and combinations that Is simple,
practical and would be effective That is
the method OF tax dissemination. We're
the taxes arranged 80 as TO bear more
heavily upon the properties formed into
or united with combinations than II did
upon properties dissolved Of all connec-
tion with any advantage getting schemes,
and operated within themselves and upon
their own merits, the days Of trusts and
monopolics would be numbered.
No instances have yet been found
where men engaged In business could
stand up against n taxation that was ad-
verse to them, as in favor Of competitors,
and none ever will be found. Adverse
taxation has been employed the world
over to hinder developments supposed to
be inimical, and always with success. In
the form Of tariff II served most effect
ually to prevent foreigners from monopo-
lizing, in the infancy of our government,
everything worth monopolizing, and from
assuming that control over the industries
Of our nation the American conspira-
tors have assumed, because, not kept at
bay by a tax law similar In It's operations
TO the tariff. The tariff Is a discrimlnator
against foreign conspirators The internal
taxation should be disCriminator against
domestic consplrators.
The reason why tax law is effective
are two: First its provisions are enforced
directly by the government itself Qn col
lection Of the revenuey, thereby rendering
resistance futile; and secondly, they are
enforced periodically with the annual
collection Of the taxes), thereby visiting
upon those who would disregard the pur-
pose Of the law penalty as regularly as
the seasons rolled around.
In providing for the government of
themselves, q people should always en-
deavor to select those measures which,
besides answering to the main purpose,
are attended with the fewest drawbacks
and the greatest number Of subsidiary ad-
yantages. The scheme following comes
as near, l think to fulfilling the require
ment as anything that has yet been pro-
posed for the purposes Of which we are
speaking. 1t may be appropriately desig-
mated as the graduated or cumulative
system Of taxation. II will stop the for
nation of trusts and monopolies through
the property which it possesses Of being
discourager to over-enlargement or ex-
cessive capitalization in every form Of en-
terprise, not permitting it even in single
establishments.
BY this scheme the taxation increases
in rate with increase In value Of the par
ticular establishments taxed and where a
number of separate establishments have
been united under a single control,
whether in the form Of single ownership,
q trust or a monopoly, they would be
looked upon as single, or part Of single,
quantity for taxable purposes
The nice and exact rate Of progression
that should be given this tax to attain the
best results would have to be determined
by observation upon It's workings after
it had been in force for awhile. give
the following to illustrate both the char
acter Of the tax in question and my view
Of what should be the rate of progression
to begin with:
Upon all values Of $1,000 or less the
