Taxing Personal Property.
ATLANTA constitutional


One of the big questions of the day is the
taxation Of personal property.
The States tax this class OF property, and
cities very generally impose similar tax.
Here in Atlanta public opinion is in favor
II il. There is no just reason for taxing a
poor man with $4,000 worth OF real estate,
aud allowing rich man 20 escape because
his property is all in personality. Governor
Hill, of New York, takes this view OF it,.
He urges strict measures TO secure the tax
alton Of all forms Of personal property as
the best mode Of preventing unequal and
unjust taxation.
The Mayor OF Boston is on different line.
In his inaugural he proposes that the city
shsll dispense with such taxes and the
peint is made that it 10 so hard TO execute
the law that il IL almost a dead letter. One
capitalist was 50 strongly opposed 10 il that
he took his $4,000, 600 Of capital 10 Phla-
delphia. In Baltimore, too, there is a strong
movement against the law, and public meet
ings are being held in opposition TO the
system. At one OF these meetings it was
claimed that the limited benefit derived by
the city financially from the attempt 10 reach
and tax personal property and personal Sc
curities 10 more than Offset by the effect
such tax has 10 drive capitalists and cap
ital TO ether cities where such burdens are
not imposed. Al best, ii is said that only
small proportion Of this species of property
is ever reached and made TO pay the tax,
thus making il in its workings an unjust
and unequal tax. IL is admitted by the
Boston and Baltimore tax reformers that
their plan will increase the taxes on real
estate, but IL 10 their idea that this increase
will be more than made up by the growth
Of population and general prosperity.

1t is upon the solid basis OF physiological
fact that Koch POUNDS the efficacy Of his
grand remedy. by inOculating III con-
sumptive with his preparation from the
pure culture of the tissue, destroying tuber-
Gle baclli themselves. he so increases the
amount of necrotizing substance In the
lung tissues that the dead matter swamps
the invading bacillary force, cutting it of

living protoplasm, and the decaying part OF

The revelation which Professor Koch now

Tho Association Ban.
lLynchburg YIrglnian.

The Richmond papers stated few days
since that IL was at first determined by the
managers Of the Assembly ball TO extend
an invitation to President Harrison and
wife, but that, in view Of their supposed IN
ability to attend, the suggestion OF inviting
them had, as il was understood, been re-
consider ed. Ii certainly does strike us
that tie good people Of Richmond would
put their pride. not to say self-respect, IN
their pocket il they should extend this So
cial courtesy to Dir. Benjamin Harrison at
ter the way in which according to the ac-
count or the Richmond papers at the time)
they were snubbed by the man who so I'M
wOrthly wears an hOnOred Virginia name.
IL will be remembered that some
live or six months ago this mag
nate came up James river in
Yacht, on hunting and fishing trip,
and that on reaching the wharf at Rich
mond delegation of citizens were present
to extend to him the hospitalities OF the city:
This courtesy was brusquely declined, and
when the President aud his party we're sum
mOned TO dinner they unceremOniously left
the delegation without so much as saving
"by your leave" much less inviting them
70 the table: and shortly after took hacks
and drove rapidly through the city to The
Washington depot. Under no cir ;um-
stances, according TO our poor ideas of pro-
priety and dignity, ought any social recOg-
milton or courtesy be extended by the cIt-
zens Of Richmond 10 this degenerate scion
Of good Virginia stock. Why, it is even
said that this grandson Of old "TippecanOe
and Tyler, too" expresses his gratitude
that he was not born in Virginia. We have
vet to see the decent Nirginian who re-
GREETED that he was deprived of that honor.

NEW NAME FOR MAIN ,TBEET.

Ia the city OF Richmond to-day, there are
still to be found many landmarks that belong
TO the age when it was very small town'
These landmarks, as a rule, our people are
reluctant 10 part with, for the spirit OF pro-
gress has not yet taken such exclusive
possession Of them that they are disposed TO
regard local features that are associated
more distinctly with distant times than Win
the present, as encumbrsnces that should
be removed because subscribing no useful
purpose.
Many ofthese landmarks might be speci-
fcally mentioned, being chiefly buildings
attractive for their historic interest alone,
bat dear for the memories which surround
them, to the hearts of our citizens whether
leaning 10 antiquary tastes or not Inc
march Of improvement h 10 already caused
many such buildings to be taken down, De
cause not adapted TO modern purposes
For the same reason, there have been many
changes in the face Of our streets. All TINS
has been done in the line Of the advance OF the
city's prosperity and has been properly done
because demand d by the necessities oil the
hour. In instances Of this kind the polcy
of adaptation has been founded on practical
good sense. That policy will continne 10
be pursued, and justly so, for there are
many things which are agreeable TO the
uses of a small town which are cut of keep
ing with large town.
In no respect, is this more applicable than
than to the nomenclature Of the thorough
fares Of city. Forty years age IT was en-
tlrely becoming in town which had the pop
ulatiOn and volume of business which Rich
mond then had, TO call it's principal street
Main street There is probably not a small
town in the STATE OF Virginia to-day, or. as to
that, in the United States, which has not
what 10 known as Main street, simply be-
cause this street is universally and tacitly
recognized 10 be such. But IL there large
city. either North or South, having as many
inhabitants as, or more inhabitants than
Richmond. or doing an equal amount OF
business, which has a street which is both
legally and popularity known as Main?
This city has passed the period when 1t
should allow one Of its great avenues OF
traffic to bear such a name. 1t is unjust to
our other streets, but above all 1t leaves the
impression upon the minds OF the outside
world that Richmond, after all, has not yet
passed beyond the limits of a small town.
The name has not only lost its Significance
but it is well calculated to have an injuri-
Gus effect to an appreciate extent, upon the
fortunes Of the city.
Let the present name of Main be changed.
II might be replaced by commonwealth
Avenue" or by "Washington Avenue
the street now bearing that name being
given designation more suitable to its
character. 1t is only a question Of time
when the innovation suggested Will be car
ried out. II would not be improper in the
light of the rapid growth of Richmond, TO
make this important change now.

easy enough 10 wish for an end. but 1t is

The great danger which threatens In
