"In my opinion, gentlemen, there
is no adequate remedy short of a
complete revolution Of our system of
assessments of the property so 1t may
be taxed at Its actual value. BY this
means all property is taxed exactly
alike, and when it Is done the rate
can be reduced proportionately. 1t is
my opinion, further, that high valua-
ton OF property and low rate of taxa
ton not only solves this vexing ques-
ton, but it would be Of immeasura-
bic value to the State in showing to
the world the immensely of our ma
terial wealth and how little we bur-
den II with taxes"

CHICAGO won the Worlds Fair on
the eighth ballot in Congress last
Monday. Some of u exchanges
seem to think, however, that there is
some probability of the whole thing
falling through yet, as the Senate has
to concur in the bill, and as the gov
eminent will probably be called up
on to contribute ten or twelve million
dollars to the enterprise. 1t was al.
most entirely by Republican votes
that Chicago was selected, and that
party being now in full possession of
the government, they are not going
to let such a good opportunity as this
to loot the treasury slip through their
fingers. The fair will be held, it will
be held at Chicago, and the National
treasury will furnish anywhere from
ten to twenty million dollars of the
money, and stacks of it will be used
to buy votes for the Republican Ma
tional ticket.

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is

much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
ters. So many feel they owe their res-
toration to health, to the use of the great
alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

It causes a deterioration of the organic

failure" so commonly met with in our
day, are, have no doubt, very often
the direct consequence of the abuse of
tobacco.
The use of tobacco by minors should
be absolutely prohibited, not by laws
which are impossible of enforcement,
and which cucumber the statute books,
but by home influence and command.

HER IDE4L.
Kate AIasterson.


She wanted to reach an ideal;
She talked of the lovely in art,
She quoted from Emerson's essay
And said she thought llowclls had
heart"
She dotted on Wagners productions,
She thought comic opera low,
And She played trying tunes on either,
Keeping time with sandal-shod toe.
She had dreams of nobler existence
A bi-cated, corsetlesS place.
Where women would stand free and equal
As queens of glorious race
but her biscuits We're deadly creations
That caused peoples spirits to sink.
And she'd views upon matters religious
That drove her relations to drink.
She'd opinions on co-education,
But not an idea on cake;
She could analyze Spencer or Brewing,
thenew Kitchen range wouldn't bake
She wanted TO be esOteric,
And she wore the most classical clothes;
But she ended by being hysterc
And contracting a cold in the nose.
She studied Of forces hypnotic,
She believed in thcosophy quite;
She understood themes prehistoric.
And said that the faith cure was ri,,bt
She wanted to reach an ideal,
And at clods unpoetic would rail
And her husband wore fringe on his troiisers
And fastened them on with nail.

Tho Hop Sing Tong and Malta.


The troubles that are raised and the
murders that are pernetratcl by Italian
secret societies in New Orleans and by
Chinese secret societies in San francisco,
give proof Of the dangerof the introduce
tion Of these CORY handed gangs into
the United States. We cannot tolerate
the existence of the Malta or Of the Hop
sing Tong in this country; and we can
not tolerate the vendetta of the former
or the business butcheries Of the latter.
II would be useless to try to reason with
our small body of Cinnamon on this
subject; but it Is worth while to asl: our
Italian denizens, who now form an i'm
portant element of the community. 10
take prompt and peremptory measures
Tor the eXtirpatlon OF the underground
gang which has been doing bad work in
New Orleats and elsewhere, and which
appears 10 have many branches in this
country. The haltmillion honest Italians
who have taken Zip their abode in this
land, and whose strength is growing by
the constant influx Of Italians 10 This
port, must see 10 it that the Italian name
is not disgrlced here by the operations
of the hlaliaitcs. Theycan do the work
that is needed for this purpose, and
we are sure that they Will do 1t. For
ages past, Italy herself has suffered from
yendettaismand brigandage; and Italians
here must cooperate with Americans
here in preventing the introduction Of
either Of them to this country.

the good and in REFRESHING that which
is not so good; the restraint they will be
in case of need, the wall of support to all
her endevors. And even if she never
require any help of this sort, and the
very thought be a profanity, she should
convince herself that her husbands
people have, before anything is said, a
right to her affection They are the ones
OF whose flesh and blood, of whose life
and manners, of whose thought and
principles, was born that which is most
i precious Of all the universe to her; they
/ cannot be quite unworthy of some por-
ton of that which their son evokes.
] Sometimes she will find these good
| people aching for her love; and whether
they are so eager as that or not, if she
only give it to them with quick and
tender heart, taking theirs for granted,
| whatever are her imperfections they will
be forgiven, whatever are her excel
lencies they will be exalted, and she
will make for herself and for her
husband a happiness far exceeding that
to be had by any other course.
Granted that high collars have become
the order of the day, it must be stimuli
taneously acknowledged that the deep,
open cut of the top of the bodies has
been instrumental in introducing these
collars. Bodies may be either cut square
or shaped, rounded out and filled up
with lace so transparent as to allow the
skin to snine through all (every style ia
admlssible), the worst of this unusual
liberty being such dresses are not useful
for street wear. So high cravats and
broad ruchings appear to fill up the
gaps. The incest of the latter are of
black tulle with picot edge. They are
easily made, and suit every dress. The
ends of the ribbon bow, which ties
them, are left to fall loose over the
waist, though the bow must be always
at the back OF the neck; why it is diff
cult to say.

Troup entertains no friendly sentiments
towards his superior officer and heated

two years in engineering. When Mr..
Stanley, on June 2Sth, 1887, set forth
with the advance column to march
through the forest to Lake Albert Nv
ANA, Lieutenant Stairs ACCOMPANIED
him as second in command, and no
officer of the expedition performed
greater services in the ardnOus march or
deserves n larger share nf praise for

August 18TH, 1887, at Air Sibba, the ma
tiyes attacked the camp in % resolute
and determined fashion. Lieutenant
Stairs and five men were wounded by
the arrows of the natives, which are
tipped with deadly poison; but Lieu
tenant Stairs wound, just below the
heart, was from an arrow the poison Of
which was dry, and he recovered
strength after three weeks, though the
wound was not closed for months. On

to stop the expedition rs il come near

ployed in erecting Fort Bodo, of which
he was left in command on June 18th,

Of the expedition. Lieutenant Stairs,
