ROMANCE OF A Gypsy FAMILY-A
family of gypsies have been camping in
Nelson near the border of Albermarle
during the past week, whose story con-
tains as much pathos and romance as
any to be found in the stories Of fiction
or history.
Although this family, to all appear
ances, was composed of gypsies, with
all the rowing habits of that remark
able race, yet the most casual observer
by glance at the countenance of any
of its members could easily perceive
that only Anglo-Saxon blood coursed
through his or her veins. y number of
years ago this family lived in IL happy
home in Scotland They were endow-
ed with everything to make life precious
competence, love, and an enviable
standing among their ncighbors. The
one daughter Of the house was sent toa
distant city to receive the advantages
of education not offered by the
rural district OF her parental home.
At the age of sixteen she re-
turned To her childhood's home
beautiful, accomplished maiden, the
darling of her parents, and the tayorite
and pride of the entire neighborhood.
One morning but few days after her
arrival she took her bonnet and left the
house, telling her mother that she was
going to see friend who lived at a
short distance.
The grief and aaliction of her loving
parent may be imagined when it is
learned that she was never heard OF
again. Tie country for miles around
was thoroughly searched by sympathiz-
ing friends, but without avail. After
long and unfruitfil search the mother
conceived the idea that her daughter
had been kidnapped by a party of gyp-
sizes, who were in the vicinity at the
time of her disappearance and departed
Immediately afterwards.
Since that time the distracted mother,
accompanied by her scarcely less griev-
ed husband, has been travelling from
place to place visiting the camps of
ovpsies, ever fondly clinging 10 the
hope that she will at last find her longs
lost child.

The Bel Air 4fgis remarks that "when
Hartford Gamers begin to sum up the
net results OF their years operations and
deduct the cost of cans they have bought
they will very likely conclude that the
timed plate tariff is tax that ought to
be abolished" As for the pretence Of
affording labor to American workmen,
SO far us that subterfuge enters into the
justification of this tin plate swindle,
this Hartford county paper, published
in canning community and knowing
well whereof il speaks, very cogently
says that 'it would be cheaper to the
American people to board every man
engaged in the tin factories at tirst.class
hotels than to pay this heavy tax
(S20,736, 80S.30 on the foreign tin i'm
ported since the Mckinley bill went

The tax on tin is monstrous injustice
without one redceming feature, and n
better illustration os the underlying
principles Of the Mckinley tariff could
not well be found"

Equal and Honest Taxation.

All despotic power is alike in its
nature; and once INDUCED in, the re-
suits are always the same. Once let it
be fully accepted as a legitimate feature
of public policy that the great public
power of taxation may be entrusted to
individual hands for private purposes,
and the power Of life and death will be
promptly seized to make tho former
effective. Once confer upon govern
ment the power of dealing out wealth,
and the day is not far distant (if ii has
not already come in the United Statesl
when its recipients will control the gov
eminent and by the use of money elect
their magistrates and legislators to per-
pctuate this policy.
The foregoing discussion leads up to
and warrants the following conclusions:
First-fhat equal and honest taxa
ton constitutes the foundation of every
free government, and that the unim-
paired maintenance of such taxation is
essential to the continual existence of
such government
Secondly-In order that taxation may
be equal, honest, and not tyrannical, its
exercise must conform to the following
conditions: 1t must be justified by
necessity or be absolutely essential for
fulfilling the object Of every truly free
government; which is, not to abridge
the liberty Of the individual citizen in
respect TO either his person. business, or
property, but to increase it by restrain
ing and Furnishing all those who would
lawfully encroach upon it. It's burden
should not bear more hardly upon one
man or class Of men than on another
Its exercise by the State should cantem-
plate no other purpose than the raising
Of money for defraying its expenditures
Thirdly-The instant that these
natural conditions, lawful purposes,
and just limitations of taxation are vio-
lated; the instant that the state takes
property from its citizens that is not
needed or takes incquitably that which
is needed, that instant the exercise of
the power becomes a matter of will and
might and not of law and right. Tie
greatest evils that characterize free and
popular governments Of to-day are evils
that result from the abuse of taxation,
and their magnitude and tendency to
increase are so great as 10 make the
boast Of individual freedom on the part
of citizens in respect to the full owner
ship and control Of their property very
often little more than an unmeaning
phrase. Shall these abuses be recog.
nized and tolerated, and tendency t.
further progress in this same direction
be encouraged, or shall they be met will
stern and uncompromising protests, i'm
mediate check. and ultimate complete
arrest and prevention? These arc the
real questions at issue at the presen
time between the two great politca
parties of this country, and the situation
e&emplities anew the lesson of history
that all the great contests for freedom
from the earliest times have originated
in abuses Of taxation.-D agid A. Wei

monty called long bullets" and Mr..

says he is willing and anxious to en-

the code may be violated every day"
says Mr.. Campbell, "and l would not
know anything about it,"
