The Tax Lazy Again.


The Tax Law Again.
The Journal asserts that THE SENTINEL
helped to bulldoze the legislature into
passing the tax law. Our neghbor is mis-
taken. THE SENTINEL did nothing OF the
kind. THE SENTINEL is not bulldozer,
and does not believe in bulldozing. The
SENTINEL expresses its opinions freely
upon all public questions; advocates the
measures which it believes to be right,
and opposes those which it believes to be
wrong; but as to bulldozing-perish the
thought THE SENTINEL did not even adj
vocate the tax law in the form in which
it passed the legislature. THE SENTINEL
urged, with such force as it could COM
mand, separation of the sources OF state
and local revenue, giving the taxes on
railroads, etc, to the state, and the taxes
on real estate, etc, TO the counties. The
bill, in this form, passed the house, and it
ought TO have passed the senate, but a
senseless panic broke out in two or three
counties which are pretty well honey
combed with railroads. Their people
change would work an injustice to
them, and they sent delegations
to Indianapolis to fight it. The
railroad lobby which then swarmed
at the capitol, co-operated heartily, and
the revenue bill-or rather that important
feature of the revenue bill-was rejected
by the senate. This action was taken, we
firmly believe, under a misapprehension
OF the character and purposes of the pro-
vision in question. But it was taken
against the advice OF THE SENTINEL. The
last legislature very strongly resented the
suggestions OF the democratic press in
general and of THE SENTINEL in particu-
lar, and we cannot say that the people are
TO be congratulated in consequence.
However, the law as it stands is, in its
main features, a good law. Its objects
are laudable, and the methods provided
for carrying out these objects are appro-
pirate and effective. The law aims to
make taxation uniform throughout the
state and it creates the machinery reqni-
site to that end. 1t aims to bring

INDIANA LADIES AT The FAIR.
A Plan of Operations Recommended 60
the Members of the Commission.

A Plan of Operations Recommended to
the Members of the Commission.
The board of lady managers OF the
Columbian commission has recommended
to its members plan of work that is de-
signed to interest women engaged in the
industries, or in educational and philan-
thropic work, and to secure eventually
for the worlds fair of 1898 an exhibition
of all worthy work done by women. Miss
Wilhelmina Rietz of Evansville and Mrs.
Virginia c. Meredith of Cambridge
City, who are the lady managers
from this state, are very earnest
in their request that the women
of the state cooperate with them, and
the press is also asked to give publicity to
the plan, which is in effect as follows: ~
That the members of the board of lady
managers make inquiry in regard to the
line of industries into which the labor of
women is being directed and wherever
manufacturers are employing women an
effort should be made to secure the man
ufactured article for exhibition at the Co
lumbar exposition; ~ that wide pub
licitv through the press should be given
to the fact that the board may appoint
one or more members of all committees
to award prizes for exhibits produced
by female labor; 81 that the names and
addresses Of industrial and other associs-
tions of women should be forwarded to
the secretary. The plan, as outlined by
the board of lady managers, is essentially
one that will rebound with great benefit
10 women engaged in industrial pursuits.
Arrangements will be made whereby
young women engaged in the industries
and arts will be enabled to spend ample
time at the exposition in seeing and IN
Outstanding the particular things in which
they are Interested

FROM all the evidence submitted we
are inclined to think that the dynamite
fishermen, rather than factory refuse, are
responsible for the high death rate among
the finny inhabitants OF Indiana's streams.
Every good citizen should take upon him
self the prosecution of the unsportsman-
like dynamiters. The fish OF Indiana
furnish no inconsiderable portion of the
states food supply, and every man who
thus needlessly destroys them is public
enemy against whom every good citizen
should set his hand.

THE charge that the new tax law re-
reduces the tax of corporations is made
out OF whole cloth. Itincreases the taxes
OF corporations very materially. Under
the new law they will pay more money
into the public treasury than they have
ever paid before. They will be taxed, for
the first time, on their franchises. The
corporations don't like the new tax law
any better than the Journal does. In fact,
there is reason to believe that the Journal
is kicking largely in the interest of the
corporations.

Democrats Feel.


Democrats Feel.
Ex-Congressman George Ford of South
Bend was in the city Friday. Mr.. Ford
served during the Forty-ninth con-
gress and declined a denomination in or
der to devote his time to the Oliver pillow
works, of which corporation he is a men,
Der. During the last five years he says
that his company has established big
pillow trade in the Argentine Republic and
Mexico. Two years ago branch house
was established at Glasgow and thousands
of plows have since been sold in England.
France has also been invaded. Mr.. Ford
saws that the English pillow makers cannot
compete with the American manufact-
urers upon their own island, and it is not
to be supposed that they could compete
with them in the United States, even
with free trade. The democrats OF st.
Joseph county, Mr.. Ford says, are de-
cidedly in favor of Cleveland.

THE tax law makes some increase in
state taxes. The increase was necessary
and it will be but temporary. In every
county where the officials discharge their
duty to the people faithfully the local
levy will be reduced to more than offset
the increase in state taxes. The law is a
good one, and the more the people know
OF it the better they will like it.

Not for Sale.

The Salt Lake Exchange Journal
says that its editor is asked almost
daily if he knows of any producing
and dividend paying mines for sale.
This kind of property is hard to buy
as stock in a dividend paying mine is
better than government bonds, and
owners of such properties want fancy
prices for them, and why not :? as they
can just as well get the "~velvet' money
as the would-be-owner. Therefore the
man who wants to buy a dividend
payer must make up his mind to pay
handsomely for it or else go to work
and develop a mine for himself, and
this, by all means, is the best method
to pursue.

Nevada as a mining and mill man.
He used to live in Austin, White Pine

to Australia and is General Manager
of the Broken Hills mines. In a let
ter to ID. A. Bender OF Carson he says
he is working about 1900 men, besides
a large force at the company's refinery
on the sea coast. The ore output
averages about 1000 tons per day,
producing about $4,000 ounces Of
silver and 900 tons of lead per week.
Over 1000 tons Of coke and 400 tons OF
coal are used per week, and a million
feet OF Oregon pine lumber is used per
month. Monthly dividends OF f96, 900
are declared. The company owns
1000 feet on the lode, and works a
continuous ore body averaging sixty
feet in width its entire length.

THE CASE.

The three men arrested for the as
sassination Of W. J. Penrose are now
undergoing their preliminary examin-
alton. The case attracts much at
tention and waists crowds Of people are
attracted to the courtroom. There are
20 or 80 witnesses on a side. The last
we noted Of the trial in the Butte pa
pers only three witnesses for the
prosecution had been examined, aside
from the doctors who testified to the
character OF the wounds that caused
death. One witness testified that he
passed three men who were standing
on the corner and less than a block
further up he met Penrose coming
down. He had hardly gone the
length Of another block before he
heard a pistol shot and soon after that
three men, whom he now believes
were the same he saw on the corner,
ran up the street passing near by him.
lie did not know that any n had
been murdered and so went on to his
room. 1t is pretty certain that the
three men in question killed Penrose,
but whether the right parties have
been arrested remains TO be proven.
The witness could not positively
identify the men,. II is quite prob
able that the prosecution has stronger
proof in reserve, rs it is not usual in
cases OF this kind 10 offer more testi-
mony than will warrant the holding OF
the accused over to the Grand Jury. But
in the very nature of things the case
must rest wholly upon circumstantial
evidence as there we're no eye-wit-
nesses to the killing except the men
engaged in it. Another witness testi-
fed that he had heard one Of the
parties say that he was going to leave
Butte but before going he intended to
+" do Penrose up" or words to that ef-
feet. He further said that he had
never done anything to Penrose but
Penrose had injured him. The case
will probably occupy much time and
continue to enlist deep interest in
Butte and the surrounding country.

1t appears that Rathry is a stage
driver and a man entrusted him with
$500 to deposit with Wells, Fargo &
Co. The temptation to get away with
the money was more than he could
Withstand, and he boarded a train and
started west. When arrested he had
all the money but Sc in his possession.
Utah officers will be here next Tues
day and take him back for trial.
