The Annual County Levy.

We pubish to-day the animal county
levy. 1t will be seen that the present
board Of Commissioners while paving
literally for work done for the county
have. at the same time. been careful Of
the interest Of the taxpayers. The
taxable basis has been greatly reduced
as the amount Of assessable property for
1889 was SO, 527 $50. and for this year.
1890, it is S3,47O,sSO. a falling of Of
$50 $50, yet the tax rate is only one
cent higher than in 1889: Had the
basis remained the same the rate could
have been put at 81 cents on the 500,
one cent less than last year. The last
Board spent for roads and bridges il
1899, as shown by the statement,
81 .00l 81, more than allowed by law,

monotony of bungling and selfish man
agement is not relieved lie took com
mand of the party when it had clear
majority of nearly thirty thousand and
has held on to it until its majority over
all has to be counted by hundreds in

when the Democratic party was beeom-
ing stronger in almost every State in
the Union
No one can deny these facts. Some
will attempt to explain them away. But
It will be useless. The records of the
legislature speak for themselves and the
bng lists Of ofh,eholders and bills of ex-

The Princes Prison,

The French government is handling
the question of the treatment of the
young Duke of Orleans with SO much
caution that it is evident he is not half
% insignificant as they pretend. After
many conflicting stories as to what was
TO be done with him he has been rapidly
and secretly moved to the ancient abbey
OF Clairvaux, founded by St. Bernard
and now used rs a penitentiary, where
the prisoners are employed in the
spinning of flax and cotton. The famous
old abbey was in its day one of the
greatest centres of industrial wealth,
piety and learning, enriched by the
liberality OF many kings of France; and
now the lineal descendant of the great
Henry may have to spin fax within its
walls ~ prisoner. The government
could hardly choose better way to
make q popular hero of the young claim
ant to the throne. The peasantry and
the masses OF the people will readily
believe that he is martyr to patriotic
impulse, and the history of his prison
will recall the glories of France under his
forefathes while the misery and oppres-
sion may receive scant attention. In the
ssyenteenth century, seventy-six other
monasteries were under the rule of Clair
vaux, and fifty villages, and many
hundred farms and vineyards, with sixty
thousand acres of forest, belonged to the
ancient abbey. II was like a walled

i The natural outcome Of the struggle

Least Of which was the lack Of concentra-
! tion q New York sentiment In making
The demand for II. 1t was made clear that
leadlng Republican politicians feared
TIE effect of 1t upon the presidential
canvass In New York city and there is
hardly room to doubt that these men are
secretly pleased with the result.
Chicago had natural advantages over
New York in its more central position,
and In its hold upon the affections Of the
majority Of the congressman, who repre-
sent the trans-Allegheny country. 1t Is
furthermore city that has como to be
regarded as the natural meeting point of
the nation, as 10 testified by its frequent
selection for holding national conven.
ti0ns. A further influence securing II
the worlds fair was the partisan hostil-
ity Of Republicans to Democratic New
York. 1t IL evident from the vote that
party affillation had much to do with
the result. The Democratic South re-
sponded to the appeal Of Democratic
New York, and Republicans Of New
England aud Pennsylvania turned
away from the inducement of New
York's propinquity and the solicitation
lcf its Columbus, Mr.. Depew, who
probably concludes that he did not get
full mastery Of the egg illustration with
which the original Columbus showed
how he had reached the new world for
he did not reach the fair.
We are quite content with Chicago as
the seat. 1t has the room and the lake
breezes that will make attendance upon
the fair agreeable, and the railroad fa-
ciiities that will make Its approach easy.
1t is little far of, but q worlds fair Is
not to be seen In day and people who
have the time and means to visit 1t will
not be detained by the distance but will
have an additional inducement In the
opportunity 1t will give them to see
good portion Of our great country.
It. viii need all of Chicago's push
70 get ready for the fair In the two
years left for the work and 1t Is doubt
full whether q city less fervent In it's
nature would get through with the
undertaking. So, upon the whole, we
think that the great question was well
decided.

Murder or Suicida.

The man who committed suicide at Al
lentown on Sunday and left note that his
body was to be cared for by T.. T.. Kahler,
Of Reading, turns out TO have been Rev.
Frank KahIer,a congregational. minister of
Southington, Conn, who had been visiting
his brother, E. l.. Kahler, of Reading, for
the past two weeks. He LEFT Reading
Thursday morning, saying that no was
going to visit Millersburg where his rela-
tives reside. He appeared TO be cheerful
and as usual when he left, and there was
nothing about him that indicated that he
contemplated suicide.
He was unmarried, n graduate Of Yale
university, and was about 40 years of aye.
His friends think there may have been
foul play, and that he may have been mur-
dered by tramps. This theory Is strength
ened by tho fact that the writing found
upon his person was evidently not his own,
1t having been written by some illiterste
person.

The Government Al a Broker.

Senator Vance has u scheme for the
banning of government money to the
farmers at one per cent, taking their
crops ~ security. 1t will be seen by the
explanation of his bill elsewhere pub
lishcd that he proposes to advance to the
farmers eighty per cent Of the market
value OF their crops and no doubt the
mortgage-burdened, tax-weighted farm
ers OF the West who pay the high West
orn rates OF interest for money, will be
highly delighted ut the prospect. The
government has more money than It can
safely manage. Why not lend it to the
struggling farmers Nothing could be
more simple and plausible, nothing more
dangerous. The government can not
open a pawnshop for crops with any
more safety or propriety than 1t could go
into business with Wanamaker
with the benevolent purpose of furnish
Ing cheap clothing to the million. The
banking system 30 sternly overthrown
by Andrew Jackson was not more OBJ
jectionable than this pawning system
would surely grow to be. The govern
ment holding the great quantities of
staple products, Of which large proper
tion might never be claimed w ould really
control the market price and so gain
sovereignty over both the farmer aud cen
sumner. Other classes and Industries would
claim similar advantages and extension
OF the system would he forced, while
taxation would be kept at the highest
level to supply the funds, Then when
war strained national resources, as it
may do sooner or later, the artificial
props would be knocked away and the
nnancial air castle would disappear.
The perils Of the project are 30 evident
that 1t only needs attention to command
condemnation, and the fact that 1t is
actually proposed in all seriousness by
noted senator is a striking evidence of
the demoralizing effect Of a sense sf vast
government wealth. Day by day 1t is
becoming more plain that taxation In
excess of government needs is one of the
greatest of public dangers.

claims TO have discovered that intermittent

Many years ago the Lancet says there was
great deal OF intermittent fever In tho
regiment of which he was surgeon, aud the
stock of quinine becoming exhausted he
ordered the patients to be rubbed twice a
day along tho spine with simple oint-
ment. This he did in order that they
might not seem entirely without some
kind of treatment. The day aiter the rub
bing the usual attack did not come on, and
the doctor has often tried the friction treat
ment since then. He says that three
fourths Of his cases have done very well
without quinine. How very simple are
some OF the most valuable of natures =
secrets that mon are only now finding out.
