"Wealthy men have combined TO do
evil, and have no shame about hiding
away their wealth. SO common is this
that most of the counties have employ
ed tax inquisitors to bring to the light
of day concealed wealth. They find
much but there are millions yet not
unearthed.
The city of Cleveland is wealthy and
prosperous, but her men of wealth are
too smart-or "depraved" is q better
word--to honestly list their bonds and
moneys. Greene County, with about
one-siXth the vote of Cleveland, returns
about 100000 more credits for taxa
ton than Cleveland. Greene County
returns So per cent. of her individual
deposits in bank, while CuyahOga
! County returns only Al pei cent.
Montgomery Co1Hfnnry, with 16,02fTewcr
voters than Cleveland, returns 1885,
1874 more credits for taxation than
Cleveland. Cincinnati, Dayton and
Columbus pay more into the school
fund than they draw out, while Cleve-
land, with all her wealth, one of her
citizens being the wealthiest man in the
United SAtes, if not the world, does
not return pough to cover what she
spends of MSSchool fund. The honest
taxpayers SSSouthern Ohio are max
ing up the delinquencies or robbcries
of Cleveland.
There is need of change! What
shall the change be? The wealthy
must be compelled to pay OH their
bonds and credits, or all must be re-
lieved from tax on personally.
AS the people become better inform
ed on these Objectionable features Of
our system of taxation, they will be-
come more and more restless. The
common custom of holders of bonds
and moneys and notes is to hide them
away. Some say let the Assessor find
them. 1t is not my duty to help him.
lie suggested that if every holder of
bond or note were compelled to have
the same recorded with the Township
Clerk, and have it stamped to make it
collectablein our Courts, and the Court
throw the plaintiffs out of court who
had not listed their notes for taxation,
we would soon see the personality in
crease in our tax duplicate. Who pays
all their taxes? The widows, orphans,
idiots and farmcrs-and none of these
can escape. The probate records show
up the credits Of the unfortunate, and
the Grmcr cannot hide his, unless an
exceptional one may have a bond or
notes."

1t was on Fourth Avenue car that it
happened. The recent snow-storm had
made the traffic unusually heavy, and the
line was only running single cars. The
men on the car had all risen but one, and
he sat next the stove unmoved. The other
side of the car had been filled by ladies',
most of whom had been given seats by
the prompt sacrifice of the men, who now
filled the aisle. The ladies were loosely
distributed along the seat; one sat side

lady entered and looked around for a
seat, and there was none. The men all
looked at the man by the stove. He was q
stout, hearty fellow growing Just little
old. He sat still, apparently unconscious.
All the ladies across the aisle looked at
him; the lady in silk glared. He didn't
move. The lady moved up opposite him
in the car and took hold of a strap, and
still he sat still.

enough, but in q voice plainly heard all

Thayer & Co.
In the year 1884, at the age of l6, the
time approached for Benjamin Butler to
enter college. Tie question what college,
was naturally a matter of serious discus
sion in the family. West Point, Harvard,
Yale, Amherst, Williams, Columbia, etc. ,
We're all in turn proposed, but his cautious
mother hestated. She feared he would
forget his religious teachings, and disap-
point her dreams of seeing him in the pull
pit Of the Baptist church. She consulted
her minister upon the subject, who recon-
mended Waterville College, Maine, an in
stitution which had recently been founded
by the Baptist denomination, with spec
ial view to the education of young men
for the ministry. The president and
several of the professors We're clergymen
and theologians, more than they were in

to make good Baptists, and then good
scholars. This young college also com

the colors from a wounded sergeant and
went ahead until he fell with a wound
through the body and in both legs. He
was found, after darkness covered the field,

His name was entered among the mortally

BIDDING EACH OTHER GooD-BY.
cannot advance on those works-they can
not live The enfilade fire will cut them
down"
In the full knowledge of all this, all ex-
cepting the fact that they were to go for
ward alone and that the regiments behind
and on each side we're not to move one
foot until the forlorn hope had broken
through the enemy's line, the Maine boys
made ready for the terrible work. Maj.
Low says: When the men saw what was
expected of them shall never forget what
took place. knapsacks were taken off and
thrown into a pile, and bayonets fixed.
Orders were to remove the caps from the
muskets and rely entirely upon the bay
onet. The mems faces had grown very
serious. We knew many, very many OF US
were to die Men turned to their com
rades bidding each other good by, and with
tears trickling down their cheeks dictated
messages to wives, fathers, mothers, sis
tiers and sweethearts in case they should
be among the slain and their comrades
survive | myself received . number Of
such messages"
On the receipt of the word to go the
Maine men sprang forward at double
quick, and the moment the first battalion
line appeared above tho embankmeut
where the column formed the slaughter
began MEN were shot dead within tho
first five feet, says Capt. F. A. Cummings,
another survivor. "The crash Of 2,oO
muskets rent the air as a long line OF fame
leaped from the works in our front, and
the well known yell Of the Army Of North
ern Virginia mingled with the roar Of the
rebel batteries on our right and left -

the infantry and tore enormous gaps in our
ranks.
"The First battalion melted away before
this fire and lay in . heap, officers and
men, except now and then a scattering ono
who had mraculously escaped. Before ths
Second or Third battalion reached its
place the regimental formation had been
almost obliterated, and two-thirds Of the
First Maine lay stricken upon the field.
Still without firing gun, but in blind obe-
dience to orders, the remnant struggled
on toward that pitiless line Of fire that
never once ceased or slackened. The reader
must understand that regiment was alone"
Maj. Low thinks that some Of the men
went within fifty yards of the enemy's
works. Gen. Mott says: They charged
nearly up to the glacis, or what would
represent it in a regular fortihcation,
but could not attain the barrier
before them. submitted like heroes to the
tempest of canister balls and bullets, and
were arrested under close fire only to cover
the ground with their dead and wounded
"The wave Of heroes was shattered
against that rampant Of earth, and blown
to pieces by that whirlwind of death"
There were three dags carried in the
charge by three sergeants, and six corporals
