JUDGE SCOTT, of the Illinois State
Board of Equalization, says that fully one
billion dollars worth of property in that State
escaped taxation this year. While the poorer
and the middle classes were fairly taxed, the
rich and the corporations managed. by false
returns, to evade their lawful share. The in
justice may not be SO glaring in this State, but
there is no doubt that taxation everywhere
does not touch all purses equally.

PEACE AT KILKENNY.
No Excitement Follows the News
of Mr.. Scully's Defeat.


of Mr.. Scully's Defeat.
KILKENNY, Dec. 23.-In spite of the
excitement caused during the past week
by the political struggle which has been
taking place in this parliamentary dis
trict and though the actual result of the
battle fought between the Parnellites
and anti-ParnelliteS was practically i'm
doubt up to the hour of noon, there was
little or no excitement in the streets of
Kilkenny this morning. Peace and
quiet, outwardly, at least, seemed to
reign on all sides, the streets being the
quietest portions of the town. Opposite
and above the court house a small
crowd gathered. Messrs. Parnell. Har-
rington. Redmond, Scully, Hennessy
and Healy were inside the court house
at an carly hour. awaiting, with vary
ing emotions, the announcement of the
result. Though the Parnellites claimed
up to the last moment that victory was
fhovering over their banners, the defeat
Sof their candidate was virtually ad-
mitted long before the close of the polls
yesterday. LIN view of the almost vital
Importance to both sides of the exciting
political contest just decided, it is
claimed that both parties deserve great
credit for the fact that no collision took
place between their followers and that
the last day of the campaign, at least,
was conspicuous for the almost entire
absence of the personal abuse which
has recently been exchanged by broad
sides betwee the followers and the op-
ponents of Mr.. Parnell. During the
Imorning, as has been the case sirce the
polls closed, the door of the counting
room'' in the court house was strictly
guarded by police, but there was no at
tempt to create any disturbance.
Shortly before noon Mr.. Davitt came
out from the court house and said that
MIR. Hennessy's majority would be
sabout 1000. and that the ParnelliIes had
suffered hopeless, crushing defeat.

KILKENNY. Dec 23.-The official re-
5 suit of the election yesterday to fill the
vacancy in the house of commons shows
that Hennessy, the nominee of the
anti-Parnelites, is elected. The result
of the election was as follows: Hen
messy. 2,527: Scully, 1856. Majority
for HenneSsy, LII.
Immediately after the sheriff had Off
cfally announced the result of the poll
ing, the Parnellites present moved in
body to the front of the court house, and
then, with cheer, they hoisted Mr..
Parnell upon their shoulders and gave
HIM what might be termed rousing re-
ception. Mr.. Parnell was upon the
point of making speech to his follow
ers, when Timothy and Maurice
Healy appeared among the crowd.
The Parnellites resented the So
called intrusion. by assuming
menacing attitudes and giving vent to
various threats. which implied personal
violence to the Healys in case they did
bot leave the scene. Finally Mr.. Par
nell, in order to prevent what seemed
likely to be
N IL
asked the police who were guarding
the court house to induce the Healys to
withdraw, as their. presence was caus-
ing disturbance. The police promptly
acted upon Mr.. Parnell's suggestion,
and the Healys were eventually pre-
vailed upon to depart from tine scene
under police protection. While the
Healys were being escorted out of dam
ger Mr.. Parnell diverted the attention
of the crowd by resuming his attempt
to make a speech to hiss followers,
saying that he would not be
turned aside from his deter
mination to do his duty to
Ireland. seeing that the result of the
contest in North Kilkenny was brought
about by conspiracy. Mr.. Parnell added
that he would go through Ireland fight
ing every election. and that he felt con
fdent of eventual triumph. Vincent

election of Sir John Pope Hennessy. as

kenny, it is stated that over 200 votes
are challenged by the Parnellites.

A HOSTILE ORGAN.
Michael Davstt's Paper Is Ex-
! ceedingIy Bitter.


LONDON, Dec. 23.-Michael Davitt,s
newspaper. the Labor World, to-day re-
snews the onslaught recently made upon
Mr.. Parnell through its columns. Dur
ing the course of lengthy attack upon
the "uncrowned k:ng'' it says that if
by any compromise Mr.. Parnell remains
leader of the Irish party number of
ianti-Parnell members threaten to aban-
don public life, which would be disas-
trous to the party at large: that Mr.Par-
nell is greater danger to Ireland than
any outside enemy ever has been. No
foreign force, says MIR. Davitt's paper,
has ever so endangered Ireland's
liberty and honor as this thew pre-
tender, unmitigated trlckster and un-
scrupulOus enemy of liberty and DEM
Ocracy, who attacks Ireland's honor in
its most vital part, and who betrayed
. his trust of honor committed to his care.
Continuing, it says that Mr.. Parnell
should not be permitted to hold power
which would be abused, and which
, would render Ireland'S condition under
her dictator worse than that of South
American republic. Ireland can fight
BalfOurism, for that may be classed as
an open enemy, while Parnellism is
much more dangerous, because it is
hidden foe. Parnell's ''honor," SAYS the
paper, is by-wOrd. His mendacity is
boundiess, his vindictiveness and tyr
amy are Infamous. and his hypocrisy is
colossal, and he may drag Ireland to dis
grace. Those seeing him now in his
hideous deformity will not rest until
they have deprived him of the power to-

"QUOETIZE OW."
Another New Messiah Rises on the
Indian Horizon.

Indian Horizon.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 23.-A. /. Chap
man, a well-known Indian scout, has
just returned from Nevada, where he
went in November for the purpose of
interviewing the so-called Messiah, in
obedience to orders from Gen. Gibbon.
He first went to Walkers lake In Ne
vada and talked with the Piutes, who
told him that the Messiah had been re-
celving calls from all the tribes in the
West. Chapman found the Messiah at
the west fork of Walker river in Nevada.
Speaking of his interview Chapman
said:
1.-The Messiah, 'Quoetize Ow.' as he
gives his name, is full-blooded Piute
Indian, and has always been peacefully
disposed. He spoke freely of his call TO
preach. His first experience with the
Almighty was one afternoon while
hunting. Hearing noise he started to
learn its cause, when he was thrown to
the ground from some unknown cause.
he was then taken to heaven and there
saw all the whites and Indians that had
lived and died upon earth. He was aft
erwardS brought back to the earth, to
the same spot where he had fallen
dead. God told him he had been look
ing for mortal whom he could intrust
with a mission, reforming the world,
and had decided on 'Quoetize Ow.' Hav-
ing been Informed of his mission, he set
out to perform it. He taught the In
dians they should work and avoid fight
ing except in self-defense. Last sum-
mer the Indians told him that unless it
rained soon the crops would fail. He
told them to go home, and in three days
an abundance of rain fell. Quoetize got
his ideas from religious family with
whom he lived"
Chapman thinks Quoetize only indi-
rectly to blame for the Indian uprising,
and that the doctrine imbued the In
dians with more independent spirit to
resist their wrongs.
