to indorse the Republican ticket or its plat

Senator so much that he warmed up to his

Senator Plumb. He wanted me to affiliate
with the Republicans. when l replied:

relative to the appraisal of property
under the tax act of the last Legisla-
ture, and the difference in taxation be-
tween 1890 and 1891. The Journal has
from time to time given facts about this
matter, and will continue to dO&so as
fast as they can be ascertained. In re-
Spouse to certain questions the follow
ing is given:

Grand total valuation -s782, l26 ,OS5 .202
Includes 1919, 25s added by the Equalization
Board TO lands and lots and improvements
thereon.
This valuation does not include the
railroad property. 1t is 81. 0S5. 625, 202 in
1891 against $751; s72. 1876 in 1S9O-an in
crease of $500, 753, 076, or over 80 per
cont. The increase on farms and i'm
provements is over 80 per cent; on lots
and improvements, over 56 per cent,
and on personal property "a per cent.
Thus it appears that the increase on
personal property under the present as
sessment has been much less than on
farms and homes.
At the present time it is impossible to
ascertain the exact State tax assessed
upon the new valuation. but the increase
can be shown on two of the leading
items. In 1890 the general tax levy for
State purposes was 10 cents on each
800, and for the school fund ia total
for both purposes of 90 cents. The last
Legislature increased the tax for gen.
eral State purposes from 12 to 10 cents
per 500, and left the school tax the
same in spite of an increase in the val
uation upon which it was to be assessed
of $3.50 per 800, making the present
levy for State and State school tax "a
cents OH each 800. For comparison, let
the case be stated as follows:
At 81 cents per 500. the general
state and school tax payable in
1892 on valuation OF $685.
At 2S cents per SIO0 the general
State and school tax paid In 1891

At Napoleon's Tomb.

A little while ago stood by the
grave of the old Napoleon mag
nifcent tomb of gilt and gold, fit
almost for diety dead-and gazed
upon the sarcophagus of rare and
nameless marble, where rest at last
the ashes of that restless man. /
leaned over the balustrade and
thought about the career of the
greatest soldier of the modern world.
I saw him walking upon the banks
of the Seine contemplating suicide.
I saw him at Toulon, saw him
putting down the mob in the streets
OF Paris. I saw him at the head of
the army in Italy. l saw him cross
ing the bridge at Lodi with the tri-
color in his hand. l saw him in
Egypt in the shadows Of the pyra-
mids. I saw him conquer the Alps
and mingle the eagles of France
with the eagles of the crags. | saw
him at Maringo, at Ulm and at Aus
terlitz. / saw him in Russia when
the infantry of the snow and the
cavalry Of the wild beast scattered
his legions like winters withered
leaves. saw him at Leipsic in de-
feat and disaster-driven by mill
ion bayonets back upon Paris
clutched Ikea wild beast-banished
to Elba. l saw him escape and re-
take an empire by the force of his
genius. l saw him upon the fright
full field of Waterloo, where chance
and fate combined to wreck the for
tunes of their former king. And l
saw him at st. Helena with his
hands crossed behinds him, gazing
out upon the sad and solemn sea.
/ thought of the orphans and
widows he had made-of the tears
that had been shed for his glory,
and of the only woman who ever
loved him, pushed from his heart
by the cold hand of ambition. And
l said would rather have been
French peasant and worn wooden
shoes. would rather have lived
in hut with a vine growing over
the door, and the grapes growing
purple in the amorous kisses of the
autumn sun. I would rather have
been that poor peasant, with my low
ing wife by my side knitting as the
day died out of the sky-with my
children upon my knees and their
arms about me. I would rather have
been that man, and gone down to
the tonguless silence of the dream
less dust, than to have been that
imperial impersonation of force
and murder known as Napoleon the
great.-Robert G.. Ingersoll.
