"A FAMILY SNARL.
Mother and Son Use Hard Words
Over a Property
Suit.
Sad Condition OF the DeSnOyer
Estate Shown in
Court.

You are no longer q son Of mine, and
I dou't want you ever to address me as
mother again." was the vehement utter
ance of Aunt" Sally Desnoyer in
Judge Brill's court room last evening
Just after the adjournment. The
lady is one of the oldest residents
and pioneers of this city. She is
past eighty-twO years Old, and the
remark was made to her son, William
L. johnson, who on the witness stand
had accused his venerable and feeble
old mother of perjury. The remark was
made in reply to his careless "GOOd-bye,
mother" at the close Of the trial OF
case. The suit was brought by Mr..
Sutton, the guardian of the property of
Aunt Sally DesnOyer, against her son
Johnson by former husband, and
several others. to set aside a
Park. valued at $4,000. 1t was
claimed that William James Bradley
induced the old lady to sign a deed of
the property to Bradley under the rep
resentation that it was a lease of the
property. The property was Subse-
qupntly mOrtgaged. The Farmers TrdSt
company has mortgage Oh the prop
erty for 81, 800. Early in the case Judge
Brill had dismissed the suit as to the
Farmers Trust company and Emily
Bradley. the wife \of James Bradley,
and last evening he took the case unner
considerat on on the application for
damages against Johnson, James Brad
lev ct al. A motion then was made to
grant new trial as to the liability Of
the Farmers Trust company and Emily
Bradley.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Sutton, the
guardian for the old lady, that she has
been badly imposed upon by her son
and others who are friends of his, and
that if her property had been taken care
of earlier she would now be worth $780,
900. when as a matter of fact she is
almost penniess, and was left in dis
tressing circumstances by relatives.
Mr.. Sutton was very ferVent in using
strong invectives against the persons
who have badly treated tine old lady.
He said it was necessary to forbid john
son fl ON going to his mothers home
after the suit was brought, so that he
would not unduly influence her against
her interests.

A WHOLESOME MEASURE.

The efforts of the present legislature
to set on foot means of purifying pri-
mary elections and nominating cOnven-
lions is a movement IN the right direc-
ton. 1t should receive the hearty sup
port of every good citizen. The primary
and the convention are too often made
the tools of designing politicians, ana
the will of the people is defeated. The
bill before the house seems to be well
framed. aud Will, without doubt, come
as near accomplishing the desired end
as anything which can be devised.
Unless some one can hit upon better
means, or the senate mas better bill,
this one should certainly pass. The
people are interested in good govern
ment. and under the existing system
their will is too easily thwarted. 1t is
high time tor the professional p Ii .ician
and heeler to take back seat. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that every mem
Der of the Ramsey county delegation
will record his vote or the light side.
The measure is Democratic, and will
serve the best interests OF Democracy.

"Some time ago." remarked a lawyer
Yesterday to a Louisville COurier-JOur-
nal reporter, Il had occasion to visit

Saturday about noon, intending to re-
main there until Monday morning.
1.-The proprietor of the hotel was a
gray-haired fellow, we'll preserved, and
apparently full of energy. l was con-
seouentIy not very greatly surprised
when he informed me that he was a
LAWYER. He had big, stout wife, and
it struck me that he could very well
leave tine hostelry to her while he
practiced law.
.'He disappeared shortly after noon. L

who smiled blandly at me over the
counter.
II extended my walk until night was
falling, and as 1 approached the hotel

the main street but the hotel proprietor.
1.-THE next morning, which was Sun
day, inquired of him the way to the
church. Come on he said, I'll show
you.' He took me into the church and
showed me to seat, after which ne dis

HE then took up the collection, after
which he again resumed the pulpit and
preached as fine a gospel sermon as l

NEW Works. TAX PROBLEM

NEW YORK'S TAX PROBLEM.
If experimentation can settle any
thing, the problem of getting from the
citizen the full quota of the public eX-
pense which he should justly bear
should have been long ago solved and
reduced to the certainty of exact science
instead of being the thorn which an
nually or biennially plaques legislators,
and the perpetual thorn which irritates
the taxpayer. That it is not yet accom-
plished; that every session of every leg
islature is occupied with measures look
ing to the attainment of equality of tax
bearing; that all men are certain that
taxes are evaded by all others, and each
finds in this fact the justification for his
own evasion, are only confessions by
indirection that our present systems are
failures.
For over a year the state of New York
has been giving to the tax problem an
unusual amount of attention and very
thorough investigation. The state COM
miSsioners have satI different parts of
the state, and taken testimony and re-
ceiyed SUGGESTIONS A joint committee
of the legislature has been studying the
report and examining the conditions,
and has submitted to that body its
recommendations embodied in several
bills and accompanied with a volumi-
nous report.
While here in Minnesota the tendency
of legislation is all in the direction of
making more stringent the provisions
for the discovery and listing of personal
property, the New York committee.
with larger experience, and, presum-
! ably, a larger resultant wisdom, aban-
| dOns that ground, and admits that it is
an open question whether it is not bet
ter to abolish the assessment of personal
property altogether. The committee,
! however, does not go to the length of
advocating it. nor does it advise the
adoption OF the measure pending there
| which proposes that it be left oD-
| tional with counties to levy taxes
for local purposes on real estate
only, personal property only, or on
both; what is there called the
''lOcal option" plan, but what is really
the opening effort of the advocates Of
the single tax to get permission to apply
their system in any county that wishes
it. Rather singularIy. the cOmmittee
give as a reason for opposing this what
the single takers claim would result
from its adoption: the release of per-
sonal property from taxation by any
county would draw to it capital and in
dustrial enterprises from the counties
not adopting it. The committee do not
seem to realize that they admit the ad-
vantages of the system claimed by its
advocates.
One change recommended is worth
considering here. They would have the
revenue, of the state derived from gem
eral sources. excuses, corporate licenses
and so on, so that there would be no
state tax levied on the counties. Ihi:
would do away with the need of state
equalization of values, and leave the
counties free from the motive to under
value for fear that they might otherwise
pay larger share of the state taxes

MADE HAMPTON.

There are yet LETT, no doubt, men who
will carp at the appointment by the
president of WADE HAMPTON as United
States railroad commissioner. They will
be the men who have done all their
afghtin since the war ended, and who
during that trying time were valorous
members of the Home Guards. o.
casionally you will find a certain stripe
of old soldier who will denOunce the
appointment; one of the class who is q
partisan before he is patriot. But the
major part of the old soldiers, those who
snapped hard tack with the JOhnnieS
for tobacco on the picket line and
fought them the next day on the Skin
misn line, will be glad to learn that the
brave old general, who compelled their
SOldierly respect as an antagonist, re-
ceiyeS this honorable recognition.
Some day when the historian writes
the story of those fierce days of 1867
when the presidency Of the nation was
in dispute. when the angry passions OF
men were inflamed and partisan spirit
was at white heat; when men were say
ing that rights not worth fighting for
were not worth having, and the country
seemed again on the brink of civil war.
he will tell how it was that the patriot
ism of WADE HAMPTON, little more
than a decade before rebel general.
doing what he could to disrupt the Union,
was potent in Steming the tide which
was sweeping the country into war.
WADE HAMPTON had been chosen
governor of South Carolina. 1t was be-
lieved that the vote of the state was cast
for TMDEN but that fraudulent boards
counted it for HAYES. Federal troops
occupied the state house at Columbia,
guarding the last of the carpet-bag
governors. 1t was expected that the
troops would be used to prevent the in
commission was making its devious
record. 1t was apparent the seven
tO-eight' court would count in
HAYES. The impetuOuS WATTERSON
was talking OminOusly of his hundred
thousand men. The red-shirted volun-
teer companies of South Carolina, de-
termined that if TILDEN. were counted
OuJ IuGlI SONtIuUI SlOQiu llOI NC, WcIG
rushing to Columbia, armed for the fray.
1t was a supreme moment. A spark
dropped among the cOmbustlDle mate
rial would have set the country afame.
The red-Shirted volunteers came deter
mined to drive the Federal troops from
their state house. Their attempt at
this would have been the spark needed
to start the cOnflagration. 1t needed
but one word from HAMPTON to precipi-
tate the conflict. Had he been the embit-
tered rebel, conquered only, still hating
the Union, and watching for the chance
to overthrow it, this was his oppOrtu-
nifty. Had he wished to give the North
a taste of what civil war is. it was his
chance. 1t is not too much to claim
that when WADE HAMPTON appealed to
the assembled companies to deSist
from violence, to return to their homes
and be patient and cOnfde in justice be-
ing done, he stemmed the tide that was
swiftly and surely carrying the country
into civil strife, and turned it away into
peaceful channels. 1t was the act of a
patriot.

THE organs of the late lamented policy
of protective tariff continue to furnish
justification for Judge EwING's happy
description of their tariff as a magical
ointment that. applied to man. would
make him taller and shorter, thicker
and thinner, older and younger, prettier
and uglier the instant of Its application.
We are told by them one day that the
adoption of revenue tariff would flood
the country with goods which would
displace labor here, shut up shops and
send business to the demnitiOn bow
vows at once. Then as the reports come
in from the customs division of the
treasury showing a steady increase III
importations, they compare the imports
of the corresponding months in other
years and proudly claim the increase as
the result of protection. If the trade
returns showed similar decrease of
imports now as they aid while we were
sending out the enormous crop of '9l,
they would point with equal cheerful
ness to the excess of exports and claim
it as solely the result of their double
back-acting, loW-high-presSure tariff.
