axing Unseen Coal.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
just sustained the right of James d.
Baker. collector of st. Clair County, to
collect from the Consolidated Coal Com
pany, of St Louis, a tax on an assess
ment made by Assessor Stookey, Of ST.
Clair township, on coal owned by the
company, under the surface of that
township. The present case involves
the trifling sum of fifty dollars, but the
effect of the decision is of great inn
portance to Illinois, and, says a dis
patch from st. Louis, sit will bring in
to the treasury thousands of dollars
each year in taxes from the vast coal
fields that have never been taxed, and
relieve the farmer from paying such
heavy taxes on the surface, whers there
are coal fields beneath, and viii cstab-
lish precedent for assessi1 :. cCal
lands all over the State of Illrh>s> "
Just so, and if our Illinois friends ms
prove their opportunity, the change in
taxation that will follow will teach the
farmers who have ignorantly clamored
against the taxation of land values
that the farmers not only do not o .vn
all the land, but that the land they do
own is the least valuable and will be
but lightly taxed under system that
makes land values the sole basis of tax

The Single Tax Will Do 1t.

The mayor of Detroit, Pingree, is a
Republican who is far in advance of his
party, as will be seen from the follow
ing excerpt from his message to the
common council, delivered January Is:
The subject of the taxation OF unim-
proved land, Or land held for specula-
tive purposes, is receiving increased at
tention in all parts of the country. Tn.
til within two years the common prac.
tice of assessors every where has been
to discriminate in favor of such land
owners on the theory that property pro-
ducing no Immediate income should be
lightly taxed. He is getting nothing
from it, they say, land he can not be
expected to pay the full rate" There
is no legal warrant for any such dis
elimination in Detroit. If any dis
elimination were to be authorized by
law it should be in favor of the one
who builds upon his land and thus adds
to the prosperity of the city. 1t is false
to presume that because the idle land
is producing no immediate revenue for
the owner, that therefore he is losing
Any thing. Every new public improve
ment, all increase of population, and
all building and enterprise of our citi-
zens, add to the value of the unim-
proved land.
1t reads nretty straight, doesn't it?

EXT RAVAGANT REPUBLICANS
The ProdigaI Appropriations of the Fifty
First Congress.

First Congress.
The full extravaganza of the congress
which has Just expired cannot be accu-
rately determined until many years
have elapsed. Bills have been passed
that will call eventually for the expen-
diture of millions of money, but the
extent of the burden with which the
treasury has been loaded cannot yet
be determined. Nevertheless, we know
that the Worlds prediction of a de-
fciency at the end of the present fiscal
year has been justified, and that the
further prediction that the government
would be bankrupted by the expiration
of the fiscal year, June 80, 1892, is amply
borne out
On the face of the annual appropria-
tions the Fifty-first congress has pro-
vided for an expenditure of more than
81, 900, 100000 for the two years ending
a year from next July. The receipts
of the government for these two years
cannot reach 5000, 900, 900. There will
be a deficiency at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year of at least SS5, 600, 900
which must be met by the embezzle-
ment of trust fund belonging to the
national banks, by the neglect to pay
over the annual contributions to the
sinking fund, and by the appropriation
of every dollar, thereby leaving the
treasury without a working balance.
This year the government. in ODE
dience to the legislation of the repub-
lican party, will have exhausted all it's
available funds and will begin the new
year with the certainty that its ex-
penditures will exceed it's receipts. In
these early days since adjournment it
is possible, from the amounts known
to have been appropriated, to figure out
a deficiency of S7O,000,0o0, and when
the accounts have been finally stated
the excess of expenditures over receipts
will undoubtedly be found to be more
than 500, 900, 900.
The result of it all is that in two
years of absolute power the republican
party has brought the government face
to face with the necessity of creating a
new bonded debt or of pinching itself
to the point of starvation to meet it's
obligations, while al the same time ex-
travagances have been made part of
the current annu;S budget, so that the
emergency must be felt for years to
come.-N. Y. World.

THE ELECTION OF PALMER.
1t Interferes with the High Tariff Major
ity in the Senate.

lty IN the senate.
The election of Gen. Palmer deter
mines the political division of the SEN
ate in the Fifty-second congress. The
legislatures in Florida and California
have still to elect, but there is no doubt
as to the result in each Casa demo-
crat in Florida and republican in
California. This will give the republic
ans forty-seven members and the oppo-
sition forty-one, the latter including
the two alliance men from Kansas and
South Dakota. This would be a repub-
lican majority of six if all of the forty
seven could be depended upon. But
they cannot Three of them-Paddocl,
of Nebraska, Pettigrew, of South Da-
kota, and Plumb, of Kansas-voted
against the Mckinley bill last October,
and Hansbrough, the new senator from
North Dakota, is committed against
all high tariff measures. 1t is there
fore obvious that the senate no longer
contains high tariff ma ority, and
there is every reason to suppose that it
may pass bills reducing the tariff on
particular articles if the house sends
over such measures. Despite the adj

THE TATTOOED IDOL.
Marks That Cannot Be Covered by His
New Mantle.


New Mantle.
An Ohio Blaine organ bursts forth in
to adulation of the tattooed idol of its
party as follows: Blaine is so great
that the mind instinctively refuses tc
class him with the average run of cab
met ministers. He is more than a mere
minister-he is a statesman, and the
greatest living one in this country. He
stands in class by himself" 1t does
not seem to realize that Blaine is great
by comparison only. Standing among
the pigmies of the republican party as
he does he certainly towers; but placed
by the side of the men who'made the re,
publican party great, to what insignii-
cant proportions he shrinks! Mr.. Blaine
is man of craft, a man of political re-
sources, an astute leader, but he is not
statesman. In all his political life his
name is linked with nothing that is not
political device or personal scheme.
To every lip his connection with
schemes of public robbery arise when
the demand for the recital of his public
services is made. He is the man with
gun behind the breastworllS OF the Pa
cific railroad ring that Mr.. Edmunds de-
scribed him; he is the man who was
sunstruck when in danger of investiga-
ton by congressional committee: he
is the man who would have taken adj
vantage of the necessities of wretched
Peru to secure to himself and his
friends the guano deposits of that re-
public: he is the Mulligan letter-writer.

CRIMES AFTERMATH.

A Fatal Street Duel i'm New Orleans
Growing Out of the Late Lynching of
Italians.
New ORLEANS, March 19.-At II
O'Clock last night Capt. Arthur Dunn, a
prominent politician and well-known
attorney OF this city, became involved
in a quarrel with Frank Waters. an ex-
journalist and well-known character
about town. and shooting scrape re-
suited, terminating in the killing of
Waters, and the serious wounding of
Dunn. Capt. Dunn was one of the at
'torneys employed by the state in the
recent trial of the Italians charged
with the assassination of Chief of Police
Hennessy.
The trouble last night began in the
early part of the evening. Waters had
.Ireen drinking in saloon. and during
the course of his remarks stigmatiZed
the killing of the Italians at the parish
prison as an outrage on the community,
and expressed himself as satisfied that
all those men who partooll in the kill
ing would come to an untimely end.
Dunn met him shortly afterwards and
dispute took place, during the prog
ress of which Dunn referred to Waters
as q murderer, he having killed Jo-
seph Baker here in 1887. The dispute
grew warmer, and Dunn pulled his re-
volver and shot Waters in the cheek.
and in the mouth. The last bullet
ranged upward, and penetrated the
brain. Waters returned the fire of his
antagonist, and wounded Dunn twice
in the left leg and again in the right
side of his chest, near the nipple. Wat
ers died almost instantly. Dunn was
taken to the hospital, where he lies in a
precarious condition.
