THE question OF exempting mortgages
from direct taxation will doubtless he a
fruitful subject of legislation in this statc
next winter Under the present law the
realty is taxed to its full value. and t.
mortgage. held by resident of the state,
is taxed also, and in nine cases out of
ten the creditor is compelled to pay this
double tax, either IN incrued interest or
an extra bonus. 1t is expected that a
howl will arise in certain quarters that
law exe,npting mortgages is legislation
in behalf of eapital-the mortgages be-
ing the apitalists-but as matter of
fact the borrower pays it under existing
laws. The HERALD's plan. us outlined
last week, seems to reach further toward
the desired end than any other yet pro-
posed.

THE BRIDGE.

No more notable improvement than
the bridge to be built has been projected
in this city during the past ten years, UNI
less it be the city hall, and that did not
cost as much money, and will not be
used by nearly as many people every day
in the year. The bridge will be a clear
span of 165 feet, with a walk on either
side safely separated from the road way.
1t will be what is known as. an over
truss bridge-with high network of
braces and beams of iron, and will pre-
sent an imposing appearance. The road
way will be eighteen feet in width,
planked with three-inch plank. The
structure will rest upon four cylindrical
piers of boiler-iron-two at each-end-
and within these cylinders piles forty-two
feet in length will be driven. and grout
cement will be filled in between the piles
to the top of the cylinders, which will be
capped with large cut stoue. The road
way will be raised about three feet above
the present bridge, which willnccessitate
grading up the approaches at the ends,
thereby relieving the grades at both
ends. On the north side the knoll will be
graded down, making the street practic-
ally level. The bridge will be placed in
line with the middle of the street, the old
one now being considerably east of the
centre and canting a little up stream.
The contract price will admit of large
amount Of grading being done within the
authorized price, which will not quite be
reached. Work will be commenced some
time in April and the old bridge will be
servicable for travel until the builders are
ready to put up the upper iron work and
then a bridge for pedestrians will be pro-
vided.
The city is to be congratulated upon
the prospects of substantial, durable,
handsome and serviceable bridge, one
which can be driven over with the fullest
assurance of security and which will give
n sense of safety to pedestrians.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

The president has been so affected by
the awful calamity which resulted in the
death of the wife and daughter of .Secre-
tary Tracy on Monday, that he has not
made any attempt to look after public
matters this week. The funeral of Mrs.
and Miss Tracy took place Wednesday
in the east room of the White House and
the impressiveness of the scene, when
Secretary Tracy broke down and Mr..
Harrison with his arm affectionately
around him and the tears streaming
down his own cheeks, tried to comfort
the bereaved husband and father, will
never be forgotten by those who witness
ed it. Mr.. Harrison never appeared in a
better light than at that moment. Sec
rotary Tracy, who had a narrow escape
from death himself, is for the present liv-
ing at the White House.
The investigation of the Ohio ballot
box forgeries was resumed by the house
committee this week. Governor Camp
bell and Editor Murat Halstead proved
very interesting witnesses, both of them
being at times questioned by ex-Govern-
or Foraker, who closely follows the pro-
ceedings and who seems to think that
Wood is not the only rascal connect ed
with the case.
Superstitious people are calling atten-
ton to the history of the old Seward
mansion, which Mr.. Blaine's family
moved into last fall. 1t has for MANY
years been called an unlucky house and
the death of MIR. Blaine's son and daugh-
ter within month has strengthened
that ide in the superstitious mind.
The resignation of first deputy commits
sioner of pensions Smith has been &C.
cepted to take effect March S. 1t Vas
generally expected that Mr. Smith would
go last fall. He acted as commissioner
from the time Mr.. Tanner left the office
until Gen. Raum was appointed to sue
coed him. He was also among those re-
rated.
1t took four days of the time of the
house before MIR. Smith OF West Virginia,
could get possession of the seat to which
he was elected but which was occupied
by Mr.. Jackson, but he got it at last.
Both Speaker Reed and Ex-Speaker
Carlisle have made statements in rela-
ton to the action of their respective
parties in the house. Mr. Reed says, to
express it all in nut shell, that the re-
publicans have been battling to give the
majority right to rule. Mr.. Carlisle's
statement, in brief, is that what Mr..
Reed did, was wrong because it had
never been done before
The republicans of the house had
quorum of their own members one day
this week, but it was gone the next.
a code of rules for the government of
the house OF representatives has been re-
ported to that body. The new rules will
practically give the speaker all the power
which he has recently exercised over fill
busters. Another very important change
is the clause making pension bills in Or
der at all times. Ehe republicans of the
house after several hours OF discussion
i'll caucus, approved the rules as reported.
Senator Blair's educational bill has
before the senate this week, Of course it
will pass.
Senator Wolcott has introduced a bill

THE COUNTRY PAPER
There are few neoDle WI

There are few people who do the country
paper full justice. Asgreat many are inclined
to look away over the shoulders of a country
editor to some paper printing more reading
matter and then make comparisons. There
are people who actually believe it is impos
sible to find person with common sense,
with industry or with brains in the Office of
country newspaper; newspaper can have
no charms for them unless it can be mysti-
fed under strange personality, and in buy
ing copy they proceed under the same
grounds as in the purchase OF a hat they
would rather have one that comes from the
city, because it must necessarily be so much
better than a home purchase. The same
man would laugh at you if you should refuse
to patronize the homo farmer, because YOU
believe you had rather get your produce
from the city. The country newspaper is
one of the most important attributes of every
town in. the United States. When a COL
ony settles anywhere with the intention of
building village the first thought is news
paper. The press is thus the very vanguard
of civil cation. 1t is the useful agent in ev-
cry place of progress and growth. There is
not another single power that can do so much
good, patient work in the way of building up
as local newspaper. 1t is not altogether
important how it is edited. whether with alb
ility or not, SO that it be conducted with an
industry and enterprise side by side with the
town; if it can afford to keep few years in
advance it is all the better. A country paper
that has little else than advertisements
would be an immense help to any. place, for
advertisements constitute most reliable in
dex to the character, size, business and gem
eral condition of a town. To the stranger
who may have looked in prospective way
upon place, the advertisements are the in
valuable part of the papers that have been
sent him. Without a newspaper, with its
local news and business announcements.
what would the average American city or
village be? 1t would certainly be unknown
of its neighbors. The. country weeklies
ought to be the best supported newspapers
of the whole land. for they contain news and
gossip that cannot be found in anv of the city
dailies. The farmer can learn from his local
paper-if he prefers to stake it instead of
some more expensive publcation-how much
his neighbor's farm sold for, how the schools
are prospecting, what improvements are in
progress through the section in which he
lives. He can get none of this in the city
paper and he cannot be a thoroughly useful
citizen without such items of light informa-
ton. 1t is not always the best towns that
support the best papers, but it is strictly
fact that no place ever gets the credit of be-
ing thrifty Or enterprisng until it can send
out 6rst-class paper, and that always de-
ponds as much on the people as on the edi-
or.-(North6eld News.

SCHOOL JoTTINGs.-State examinations
are over, and now for the last strong pull
The senior class organized last week and
chose Mr.. Tubbs president. Each member
has been assigned his work for commence
ment.
The new classes this term are Civics, &C.
ology and Arithmetic.
All interesting discussion took place last
week in the civil government class on the
following subject: "Resolved that it is
wrong to tax bachelors for the support of the
school, One of the points brought out by
the affirmative was that taxation without re-
presentation was tyranny-the bachelor was
not represented in school, hence, he ought
not to be taxed.
The school extends thanks to MIR. Wood
bury for an excelant atlas of the world
On the afternoon of the 2Ist, the school
expects to float the "stars and stripes" from
the school house. Appropriate exercises
will be made by Gov. Barto, c. F. Hendryx
and NJ. c. Kelsey.
One of the questions in Geography at the
last examination was-What is the ruler of
Egypt called? The following answers were
received: Khedive, Bashan, Pshaw, Khan,
alb, Pharaoh and Ptolemy. Poor man, he
would loose faith in ''the broad knowledge"
Of Americans, il he sew the list of answers.
We request the editor to omit him this week.
Mr. Getty has made fine Set of drawing
blocks for the Primary grades. A set like
the one made would cost four dollars.
Mr.. Blodgett attended chaple on Monday
morning. He gave very practical five
minute talk. MIR. Lawson was in one week
ago. he also gave an interesting talk.
Editor Hendryx made visit to the school
last week. Very few parents have visited
the school this year. We should be very
glad to see more. We feel as if we ought, for
it is the duty of parents to inform themselves
as to how their children are taught
