TROUBLE AT LEXINGTON.
The Mayor and City Council are

pOintment.

A rupture of considerable ma ni-
tude has occurred between Mayor

the Council the Mayor renominated
J.seph Chanslor as Weigbmas,er. an
Office that pays from $500 to $1,000 a
year. One of the Councilmen denied
the Mayors right to make the ap-
p,in'ment, insisting that the contract
should be bid upon at the June meet

mated Mr.. Chanslor, but the
Council instead of confirm
ing the appointment ordered the clerk
to advertise tor bids. At the July
meeting, held day or two agn, the
mayor a third time nominated his
man. The nomination was not con.
firmed, and the mayor refused to open
the sealed bids submitted, and would
not permit them 10 be opened. In

A week ago we stopped for a night at

ride in the palatial slumbering car In:

that people take advantage of his good
nature and lead nim astray and get him

He is just simply a great big, soft,

No New Testimony Being Introduced
Working Rapidly.
The taking of testimony in the second
trial of John Taylor, alias "Larrupin
Jack,'' charged with being implicated in
setting fire to McKinstry & Angrave's
stable at Gait, was commenced in Depart
ment One of the Superior Court yester-
day before Judge Prewett of Auburn.
Grove L. Johnson was on hand to take
charge of the defense, with w. H. S.
Scott, and G. NJ. Green, Lodi attorney,
announced himself as specially employed
to assist District Attorney Ryan in the
prosecution.
j. X. McKinstry, Peter Haller, George
Johnson, Maggie Mitchell and the other
witnesses for the prosecution gave SINH
lar testimony to that given at the pre-
liminary examination and first trial.
From the rapid manner in which the evil
dence is being taken it is probable that
the present trial will consume only half
the time that the previous trial took up.
The prosecution about finished its case
last evening and the defense will begin

If the Democratic press is to be be-
ieved, the Republican party, because it
is earnest and enthusiastic in the work of
nominating for the Presidency, is on the
eve of disruption and revolution. Which
is silly. and reflects only the Democratic
desire. 1t is an excellent sign that there
is warmth, contention and even friendly
strife over the ambitions of favorites at
Minneapolis. 1t means that there is
strength, vigor and the forecast of victory
behind it all. What the Democratic
press would fain have the people believe
are troubled waters is but the swell of a
mighty wave of political power that the
Democracy is likely to find resistless.
Had the Minneapolis Convention gone to
work as worshipers so to prayer meeting
or body Of scientists to a solemn con-
sultation about forces, we should expect
its results to be tamely received by the
Nation. Let not the Democracy deceive
itself. The party to be feared is the party
that makes manifest internal vitality as
well as the outward whoop.

THE discovery of written directions of
highbinder chiefs in San Francisco to
hirelings in Sacramento whom to kill
and the price put on each head, is not
new. But it is the boldest character of
highbindery ever developed. The ques-
ton is, "What are we going to do about
it? Is the law and are the authorities
powerless in the premises ?" 1t would
seem so for these reasons: Inability to
identity; unreliability of Chinese testi-
mony; inability to prove the Chinese
writing to be that of any particular pei
son. All this on the assumption that the

THERE is bitter complaint in New Eng
land at the growing lawlessness manifest.
1t is attributed largely to the influx of a
foreign lawless element, the non-enforce-
ment of laws regulating the liquor traffic,
and the Generalization attendant upon
partisan politics in municipal govern
ment. New England, once the pattern
of order, win yet have to turn to the
young West for counsel and example in
the suppression of the lawless element.

PUBLIC OPINION" last fall offered
best essays upon this question: "What,
If any, changes in existing plans are
necessary to secure an equitable distribu-
ton of the burden of taxation for sup
port of National, State and municipal
governments % One hundred essays
were submitted, the writer's names be-
ing kept under SEAL The judges who
consented to act were Hon. Josiah p.
Quincy of Boston, Hon. j. A. Price of
Scranton, Penn, Chairman of the Ma
tional Board of Trade, and w. II. Page,
editor of the F'orum. After devoting
some months to study and comparison of
the one hundred papers submitted, the
judges have just unanimously awarded
the first prize to Walter E. Weyl of
Philadelphia. The most interesting thing
about it is the fact that Mr.. Weyl, who
has thus distanced ninety-nine competi-
tors, is as yet but nineteen years Of age.
He is member of the Wharton School
Of Finance and Economy in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania This is a dis
tinct triumph for young American man
hood, that should serve as healthy
stimulus to other youths to study dill
gently and to store their minds with
knowledge that will fit them to consider
and debate the essential principles of
good and economic government. Mr..
Weyl's paper is sophomore in style
somewhat, and shade stilted. But it is
so emphatic, orderly in arrangement,
clear in thought, concise and lucid, that
1t commands commentator for the
young author, and proves him to be a
thinker and reasoner Of superior order.
His finding is that our present systems
of taxation are unequal and unjust; that
as the necessary qualities of good tax
are equity, certainty, convenience and
economy adam Smith,. to these should
be added adaptabllity to peculiar politi-
cal and economic conditions. He con-
cludes, therefore, that the aim should be
to minimize injustice, and to do this that
there should be a coordination of the
systems of Federal, State and local taxa
ton. For the Federal revenue, customs
duties, and internal taxes for the State,
taxes on incomes, inheritances and cor
porations; for local purposes, taxes upon
real estate. To which, restrictive meas
ures may add taxes on commissions,
auctions, dogs, and numerous others, as
occasion demands. He follows out his
conclusions with details of application
His views are thus indicated, not in ap-
proval or condemnation, but to illustrate
the operation of study and thought in a
fresh young American mind devoted to
the consideration of questions of political
economy.
