Vigorous Views On Proposed Change In
OlliO's Tax Laws.
In response to the demand for re-
vision OF the laws ON taxation, Mr.
Welsh, comes to the front with bill
which is as sensational as a plumbers
and as picturesque as snipe'S 1t pro-
vides for making every man spy upon
his neighbor at liberal compensation
in fees. It rehabilitates the confiscaticn
department of the government and pro-
vides work for the militia that will
doubtless keep it continually in the
field. There is no direct provision for
this latter, but if the law is to be exc
cuted there can be little doubt that the
militia will be brought to the condition
indicated, and the branch of the service
which has just resented in q most pro-
nounced way the interference of pri-
vate detective will be called upon to
support, with foot, horst and artillery.
a horde of private detectives to be re-
cruited under state auspices
On the theory that large amounts OF
money, mortgages, notes and other ne
gotiable paper annually escape taxa
ton, Mr.. Welsh provides in this bill
that the failure to list for taxation
property of this kind shall be punisha-
Bile by the forfeiture of such property
to the state, and the payer of such
paper may discharge his entire indebt-
edness by paying forty per cent of the
face value to the county as taxes.
Every man who borrows money is thus
offered an inducement to become q spy
upon the actions of the man from whom

that he does not list for taxation, that
failure of the owner of the list is to be
detected. In order to make reasonably
sure that detection will follow every
evasion of the kind, high price is pat
upon information, the person furnish
ing it to receive eighty per cent. of the
amount reported, the remaining twenty
per cent. to go into the public treas
ury.
This is beautiful scheme that the
Honorable Welsh has evolved. While
it does not exactly create new indus
try, it does transform long noses into
live capital and provides new way for
persons of neddlcsome disposition to
get on in the world. For instance. A,
having borrowed 81, 900 from b, has on
~ to catch B not listing the note or
mortgage for taxation to be able to dis
charge his entire indebtedness to 3 by
a payment of $500 to the county. Then
if A can detect C in failure to list
$1,000 in money he will receive $500 of
the amount, and supposing that he still
has the $1,000 that he borrowed, he will
be 81, 400 ahead. Under the operation

The Long Shot of Col Phillips of

From the New York Times
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 20.--The late Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was at one time the target of
q Georgia confederate. 1t was only by
scratch that his life was saved and that the
Ohio colonel afterw ward became President.
The scene was on the Gouley river, in
West Virginia. The Georgian who took
aim was Gen. William Phillips of Marietta,
and the time was 1861. For several days
Gen. Floyd had been skirmishinG with Gen.
Cox's Ohio troops at the Hawks Nest"
picturesque cliff rising over LOCO feet from
the river road. One fine morning Gen.
then COLI William Phillips heard bugle
blast near the Hawks Nest,n across the
river, and an Ohio colonel at the head Of his
regiment rode out into the river good
distance. as the rocks shelved gradually.
Col Phillips selected a long-range rifle
from one OF his men and raising his weapon
took deliberate aim ut the union officer.
The distance was great, but Phillips was a
fine shot, aud at the crack of the rifle a
plume from the Ohio colouels high hat fiut-
tered out into the water, and the officer
dashed up the bank out of range.
In 1878 Gen. Phillips was in Washington
and saw the President. He said something
about Hawks Nest' and his aim at an
Ohio colonel. President Hayes frightened
up and inquired into details. Then the
President said that ne was the Ohio colonel
whose hat was grased by Phillips butler.
That night Gen. Phillips took tea ct the pri-
vate family table of the Hayes family.
1t is not generally known, but it is fact,
that Gen. Longstreet was offered the port
folio OF Postmaster General In President
Hayes cabinet. AT the last moment it was
discovered that Gen. Longstreet was an en-
thusiastic Blaine man, and as HAYES wanted
John Sherman To be the nominee in 1880
the cabinet was recest and Col. d. NJ. Key
was appointed to represent the ex-confeder-
ates, and Gen. Longstreet was sent as min
lister to Turkey. Gen. Longstrest tells this
himself. @@
