A Important Question Concerning the
Csnnfy Tax Levy.

The county commissioners have no. yet
made the TAR Iesy for 1893. and will not do
- nn.ll they get legal advice from Prose-
eating Attorney Miller on question they
kays submitted to him. They are un-
certain - 10 whether they are authorized,
erfasbsr compelled. by law 10 levy the
rosd and bridge tax upon the whole
e6Hnly, including the city, or upon only
that portion outside the city.
A the valuation of property in the
esaniy outside OF the city is about SIC, 000.-
un. aud that of the whole county. includ-
ins the city, is x5I. 0o0, 900, the determine
tlea Of the question will decide whether
tbe iax for this purpose shall be 3 mills or
mil
The commissioners all believe that IL
VS. not the intention of the Legislature
that county road and bridge tax should
BE- syisd against city property, but the
language OF the law seems very ambiguous,
and . Il Is very mandatory IN character
ths bard feels that the matter should be
eeanlteiy determined by legal opinion.

A Good Prayer.


Shake paw and claw is pretty good.
The phrase occurred i'm the Rev. Mr.. Ed
prayer over Farragut's grave on
Sunday. Admiral Kaznakof Of the Rus
sian navy stood by the grave bearing
aloft the Russian colors, while our naval
veterans held services In memory Of our
own illustrious admiral, and it was In
the course of the prayer with which the
exercises were closed that Chaplain Ed
wards appealed to heaven In words that
will be memorable. 20 Lord, may this
union of hearts last forever, and let the
Russian bear and the American eagle
shake paw and claw over this gravel"
We say this is pretty good, and Admiral
Kaznakof must have liked 1t. Probably
the car himself win smile when the fig
ure Is put into Russian for him. But, by
the way, Alexander LII understands Eng
lish and can get the metaphor at first
hand.
There were other passages in Chaplain
Edwards prayer which show that he is
freespoken man Of genius, and it is to
be hoped that he will be in possession OF
his metaphoricaltalents long years hence
when he meets Admiral Kaznakof upon
what he described in his prayer as the
quarter deck Of the glorious kingdom
There are few chaplains hereabout who
can pray like Edwards-good luck to
him!-New York Sun.
