DEFKCr In NEW REVENUE Law.

Assessor Required to Certify What He
Cannot Know.
Some Of the provisions of the revenue
law passed at the last session of the lee,s-
lature do not give entire satisfaction at
the county offices. County Assessor
Abrams was asked yesterday whether the
rule requiring him to certify q summary
of the valuation of all real and personal
property in the city to the city conn.
trolier was practicable or not.
1.-THE provisions of the new law relating
to the assessment and collection of taxes
in cities Of the hrst class seem to me to be
defective" said Mr.. Abrams. "The first
section Of the law requires the assessor to
certify to the city comptroller . summary
of the valuation Of all real estate and per.
sonal property in the city subject to taxa
ton, as soon as the board of county COM
missioners and the state board of eoualiza-
ton have fixed its value This Is absurd
upon its face. as the assessor does not have
the county rolls in his possession at that
time. The rolls are turned over by HIM to
the clerk of the board of county commits
sioners on the first Monday in August.
and fail to see how he can certify to
what has passed from his hands into those
Of another officer. You might as we'll
ask him to certify to the amount of cash
in the possession of the county treasurer"

She Sells Knives by sliding Scale,

light 10 being worked In the city success

of hardships endured and closes with
blessings or curses, according - the per

she wants to sell some valuable silver
Knives, the value Of which Il, according to
the knowledge of the buyer. from 81 to -
Three weeks ago she played the sym
pathy dodge on . little woman in the
southern part Of the city, and sold her
knives for IS . dozen. when the regular
retail price 10 81 When the purchaser
found out that she had been duped she
almost cried aud said:
well, anyway, it was my sister who
bought them. didn't think they were
very good knives when looked at them"
Imagine her horror when she learned that
the best grade of knives can be purchased
for $3.50.
About week ago the widow with the
crocodile tears came to the house where
charitable woman resides and repeated her
story Of Voc. The woman's heart was
touched and. though she did not want the
knives, she agreed to take dozen. The
price this time was 81, which gives clear
idea Of the sliding scale, but unfortunately
the woman gave her $50 gold piece to
change She could not do it, so the
money was taken over to Mrs. Davis. a
neighbor. Peculiar as 1t may seem tho
latter had bought dozen of the knives
short time before and knew all about the
swindle. II should not advise the pur-
chase" she said, ''because tho goods are
not satisfactory"
The suggestion was acted on. and when
the woman with the knives and sliding
scale heard it she dropped the mask and
commenced to talk. One woman said her
language was awful and another averred
that her poor children muss suffer from
such an ungovernable temper.

ELECTRIC ROAD TO MOUNT MANS
FIELD

This promises to be notable season
for the construction of electric railroads
in Vermont. In addition to the roads
projected in Burlington, Bellows Falls
and Brattleboro, the indications are ia
vorable for the building of an electric
line to Mount Mansfield. The Mount
Mansfield Electric Railroad Company
has been organized, and it recently made
proposition to the voters of the town
of Stowe to build, equip and operate a
standard gauge electric road from Stowe
to connect with the Central Vermont
road at Waterbury or with the Boston &
Maine road at Morrisvllle or Hyde Park.
A special meeting of the legal voters of
the town of Stowe was called and it was
voted to donate $4,000 to the road. P.
D. Pike, G. L. McMahan and C. E. Burt
were elected railroad commissioners to
look after the towns interests. 1t was
voted to raise the $4,000 appropriated
by issuing per cent. bonds for the
amount, payable at the rate of $4,000 a
year. Meetings will also be held at
Waterbury, Morristown and Hyde Pork
to see what those towns will bid to Sc
cure one terminus of the road. 1t is pro-
posed to equip the road to have freight
as we'll as passenger cars, and if the road
is constructed there will surely be n re-
vival of pleasure travel to Mount Mans
field, long one of Vermont's most popu.
lar resorts.

EUROPEAN PEASA NTs AS AMERI
CANS.


The serious anxiety which all thought
full Americans fee, in contemplating the
constant flow of immigrants to this cOun-
try from the most discouraged and most
ignorant classes of Europe, finds express
sion in suggestive article on European
Peasants as Immigrants" by Prof. n. S.
Shaler in the Atlantic Monthly. Com
pare the origin and nurture of those free
men who founded America with those
of the ordinary laborers of Europe, and
we see at once the gravity of the danger
which the mass of European immigra-
ton brings to us, The American COM
monwealth could never have been found
ed if the first European colonists had
been of peasant stock. 1t is doubtful
whether it can be maintained, if its pres
ervation comes to depend upon such
men,"
Glass distinction and fixed conditions
of routine labor have destroyed in the
peasant mind that quality of ambition
which is the predominatlng character
istic needed in America. 1.-THE peasant
has no social or political longing to sat
lsfy, for the simple reason that his in
herltances and the traditions of his class
supply him with none. The ordinary
man of our democratic community, in
his Imagination, sees himself among the
powers of the land" A democratic
community ito be strong needs to have
its members aspiring for the fullest
measure of life."
With such outspoken statements, a
thoughtful writer studies the situation
philosophically, and adds the objection
of race to the usual criticism of econom-
&c inconvenience. 1t is not wholly be-
cause foreigners rush into trades to the
exclusion of Americans that they are not
needed in this country; it is not because
they are a disturbing element in indus
tries. Behind these disadvantages lies
the greater one of social disqualification
to share the responsibilities of American
citizenship. Years of education and ell
lightenment are needed to fit these Eu-
ropean peasants of the lowest grades to a
comprehension of the American posi-
ton; and before that time arrives It's no
wonder that thoughtful men are anxious.
