About Personal Property Taxation

A bill passed the Albany legislature
last Wednesday TO tax all inheritances
above $1,000 In the debate on the bill
the whole question of personal property
taxation came up; and, among other
statements made, was one by Senator
Fassett, that Commissioner Coleman
had testified that it was impossible to
find more than 10 per cent. of the per-
sonal property in New y DIRK city when
the time came to value it for taxation.
The estimated value of the personal
property in New York city
was $40, 200, 900; yet last year
the commissioner had only been
able to find S1,GS0, 10000 of
it, and only $3.50 900, 900 paid taxes; all
the other was sworn off OF this amount
the banks, which are so much despised
by our farmers, and estates paid 80 per
cent. Senator lassct had come to the
conclusion that not ; per cent of tho
personal property in this state was
reached by taxation, and it could not be
reached.

WHILE at first blush it may seem to
the farmer that to abolish all taxes
upon other things than the value of
land would be TO exempt the richer in
habitants of cities from taxation, and
unduly to tax him, discussion and re-
lection will certainly show him that
the reverse is the case. Personal prop
erty is not, never has been, and never
can be, fairly taxed. The rich man al
ways escapes more easily than the man
who has but little; the city, more easily
than the country. Taxes which add to
prices bear upon the inhabitants OF
sparsely settled districts with as much
weight, and in many cases with much
more weight, than upon the inhabitants
of great cities.

Pretty, But a Natural Thief.

Many crimes are charged to pretty
siXteen-year-old girl, who is locked
up in the county Jail at Carroll, Iowa.
She calls herself Katie Faulkner, but
saws she is concealing her real name
in order to shield relatives from dis
grace. She says she was left an or
phan when only year old and went
to live with an uncle. Her great pas
sion was for money, and seeing cir
cular advertising counterfeit money,
she answered it and placed quite an
order.
When it came it was sent by express
with thirty-tive cents charges, ana
not having the money to take 1t out
of the Office she ran away and went
to another uncle, where she stole $50.
After securing the money she went to
Council Bluffs and put up at the best
hotel in the city. In short time she
left without paying her board bill,
and on arriving at Panama she rob
bed a store, secured a suit OF men 5
clothing, and in this disguise started
for Defiance, where she was arrested,
hut was released OIL condition that
she would reform. She says she tried
to keep from stealing, but could not
resist. She says she failed to secure
the money and jewelry OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Yates because they would not be
still long enough. but If she had had
a revolver they would have been still
enough for her.

Missing For Forty Years.

Waunatah, Ind, May 2S.-Mary Ann
Grier disappeared from her fathers
home, two miles south of Waunatah,
Ind, nearly forty years ago. Last
Friday her body was recovered IN an
abandoned bog iron ore pit without
one vestige of change from the APP
pearance it had known in life. The
last shred of clothing was long ago
destroyed by action of the water in
which she had met her death, but the
same chemicals which removed the
garments preserved the flesh. Not
only is the contour OF the form per
feet, as in life, but even the color has
remained unchanged. The arms and
shoulders are white as marble, the
hands brown, and one of them still
bears the stain of the berries with
which she was working the afternoon
of her disappearance. The cheeks
are slightly brown but suffused with
a ruddy flush. Were it not for the
unsightly cavities that once contained
the eyes, that petritied frame, which
has lain almost half a century in the
soil, would appear the peacefully
sleeping figure of healthy, handsome
Young woman. Will Strunk, who
made the discovery while digging
post holes for fence across the prai-
RE, took his pocket knife and struck
lightly on the exposed shoulder. The
sound emitted was the hard metallic
ring that comes of blow on stone.
Nicholas Grier, her eighty-year-old
father, identified Mary. When he last
saw her she was on her way to visit

A Statement from John Browns Son.

to the Boston Herald says: Many of
Connecticut's old-time abolitionlsts
have greeted Jason Brown, son of
John Brown, the martyr of Harper $
Ferry, who has been visiting here for
two or three days past. He is tall,
bent old gentleman, with white beard
and pale blue ewes. He dresses very
plainly and wears u big, broad -brlm
felt hat and heavy cowhide boots
In referring to the slavery question
he gives this significant opinion Il
believe that slavery was sectional
evil, and that the people OF the North
were as much to blame for its long
continuance as the people OF the
South. Why? Because the old slave
States of Massachusetts, Connecticut,

sylvania, when they found slavery no
longer profitable, sold their slaves to
other people of the South and peck
eted the money. To be sure, a few
liberated their slaves, noticeably the
Quakers. We of the North were their
holders, while the people of the South
were their owners, and we in the war
that followed went down into the red
sea of blood with the people of tn e
South. Today my sympathles and
those of the remaining numbers OF
my family are largely with the people
who have suffered the more because

A Cat Adopts Young Squirrels.

Freddy Gaynor, of Cold Spring, l..
l., captured nest Of young gray
squirrels in the woods. He took them
home and soon after discovered that
the motherly old cat had a litter of
kittens in the barn. A bright idea
came to young Gaynor, and he took
away the kittens in the old cats alb
sence and placed the squirrels in their
place. The old cat soon returned,
but never seemed to observe the
change. She continues to pay the
little squirrels the same attention as
she did the kittens, and administers
to their wants with all the motherly
care with which she is endowed. She
shows great affection for her little
family, but oflate, as they have grown
older, wears surprised look on her
face as she sits by and watches some
of the strange antics of the little long
tailed squirrels while att play.-Ne0

Briqands Are Still Flourishing.

A dispatch from Constantinople,
dated June LIST, says:
A party of brigands near Teherskei
Sunday placed distractions across
the railroad track and succeeded in
derailing the eastern express. When
the brigands had thus brought the
train to standstill they found that
there were several German and En-
glish tourists anon. the passengers.
One of then was banker of Berlin.
The brigauds have demanded $40, 900
as ransom for the captives and Chan
cellor Won Caprivi has telegraphed to
Herr Won Badwith, the German Am
bassador here, authorizing him to ad-
vance this amount. The remaining
passengers were despoiled OF their be
longings and were left alone. The
place where the act Of brigandage oc-
Cured lies between this city and Ad-
rianople. The band which made the
attack on the train numbered thirty
men, led by the noted robber, Anas-
tasius. The brigands first seized the
Waterman on duty at the railroad
station, and when they had prevented
him from giving an alarm they SCI to
work and tore up the rails for some
distance. They set no warning signal
for the engineer of the train, but al
lowed the cars to dash on TO possible
destruction. When the eastern eX-
press reached that spot the engine
tumbled over on its side, dragging
over with it the tender, "a baggage
car and all the third-class passenger
coaches. The tirst-class passenger
cars, luckily, did not follow the other
part of the train, but remained safely
on the road.
When the train was thus disabled
the brigands rushed forward, utter
ing loud yells and brandishing their
guns in most threatening manner,
and boarded the cars. Several of the
passengers then resisted the attack
made on them by the brigands, who
replied with volley from their guns
and dangerously wounded one of the
men who sought to repulse them.
The outlaws finally overcame the
occupants of the cars and proceeded
to plumber them, stripping the tray
ellers Of all their valuables and loot
ing their baggage. When the brig
ands ended their work of robbery they
seized four Of the passengers in the
nrSI-cldSS cars anu diSo Tue tuSlhee'
of the train and started with the cap
tives for theirrendezvOusi in the noun
tains.
The men carried away by the out
laws were Oscar Gregor, Herr Maquel,
a land owner of Siegelsdort, Bavaria,
Herr Oscar kotysch, of Sorbig, Prus-
sian SaXony, and Feudiger, the engi-
neer of the eastern express. Upon
reaching their retreat the bandits
sent Herr Israel to get the ransom of
$40, 900, which they demand for the
release of the prisoners.

THE WEIGHT OF IT.

We have already considered the
numerical proportions and the physi-
cal extent of the appropriations of
the billion Congress, if coined into
standard silver dollars.
We will now consider the weight Of
the vast treasure which is drawn as
it were from the very life blood of the
people.
If the appropriations of the late
Republican Congress were coined into
standard silver dollars, the weight Of
the pile would be enormous. If it
were to be removed the removal
would be a great undertaking. II all
the $4,000 pensioners of the Govern
ment were put to work at it there
would be over a thousand pounds of
money for each one of them.
If it were attempted to remove it in
four-horse Conestoga wagons, each
wagon carrying four thousand pounds,
it would require a wagon train a
hundred miles long.
Manifestly this would be impracti-
cable, and the only way to remove it
successfully would be on a railroad.
Loading twenty thousand pounds
i'm a car, the money voted away in
few short months by reckless parti-
sans would make a burden train
twenty-one miles long, and it would
require about two miles of ordinary
locomotives to move it,
Because the people DO not recog-
nize the Federal tax gatherer as he
comes around, they lose sight OF the
amount Of taxation they are really
paying. But this vast sum did not
grow in the Treasury. 1t had to be
produced by some one and paid by
some one.
Who produced it!
Money does not possess the power
of reproduction.
Every single dollar is the product
of labor.
Every dollar represents toll and
sweat.
At two dollars day, it would take
ten millions of men two months to
earn this sum.
Who paid it?
No man or woman in the whole
land escaped payment Of portion Of
it. No one so poor but he had to
contribute some portion OF his labor
to amassing the vast sum voted away
by the Billion Congress, and the poor
contributed many times more in pro
portion to his ability to pay than the
rich. The money was not only extort-
ed by taxation, but it was unjust and
unequal and unnecessary taxation.
And under this peculiar system
known as protection, the payment of
it involves the payment of a vastly
greater sum in tribute to the monopo-
lists.
If this billion of dollars had been
voted away for the necessary expen-
ses of Government economically ad-
ministered, the people could bemoan
their hard fate but would have no
right to complain. But a great por-
ton of the money went in reckless
and wicked extravaganza, millions
were voted away for fraudulent pen
sions and pension sharks, millions go
for subsidies, millions go for unneces-
sary office-holders. And this was the
reason why, at the last election, the
Republican party was overwhelmed
as completely as the six hundred
chosen chariots of Pharaoh were
overwhelmed by the waters OF the
Red Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before
aal-Zephon. -HagerstOpn Mall

Permanent Progress.

Editor Harnsberger, of the Front
Royal and Riverton Gazette, speaks
wisely and well in the following:
We have been all along the line OF
development in this State. To see
what was done during the winter and
spring, should be sufficient to convince
the most conservative minded people
that the industrial movement in Nir-
GINA is certainly on a solid basis. Res
licences are going up at every railroad
station, business houses are being
erected, and what is better than all,
we found small and large factories con
structing The payroll is the basis
of substantial growth. Virginia leads
all other States in the number Of fac
tories secured and being built. And
as factories employ wage-earners, we
do not question the fact that Virgin
ia is ahead of all other States in sub
stantial industrial development. In
the construction of railroads she is not
behind, and if we note her progress
in agricultural pursuits, we will find
that in this line too she lis making won
derful strides. For all-round devel-
opment Virginia is unquestionably
taking a foremost stand. This fact is
becoming known over the distant
parts OF this country and Europe.
The ewes of the world look this way,
and the people of the world are COM
ing this way. Let them come they
are welcome.
