IL 10 underst Dol that the Atlantic d
Pacific railroad will refuse to pay taxes
on the assessment made by the territorial
board, and we rather think they are right.
The railroad now pays two-thirds of the
tax Of this county and As the other tax
payers do not give in their property at
more than one.third it's value, the rail-
road company should be dealt with in
the same manner. They are willing to
pay on an assessment Of 5000 per mile,
but no more. The assessment, ss made
by the board il over $4,000 per mile.
The rsilro I'd, like the miner, lie not max
ing operating expense, and though we
are not ia favor Of letting the railroad
get away with anything, We believe in
treating them the same as other tax.psy'
ers. II it 10 possible to get the assess
ment reduced we think It would be =
good idea to do 30.

For number Of years the county Of
Mohave has been fighting the railroad
Company in tax matters. At last the
matter was carried to the supreme court
and there it Was expected that q decision
in favor OF the county would he given.
Many thousands Of dollars had been
spent to carry the case through the
courts. At this time a compromise Was
effected and the case dismissed before
hearing, and We are now back where we
started from. This matter will be a bone
OF contention for years to come and We
are glad TO note that in the event Of an:
other suit the legislature has taken the
matter of compromise out Of the hands
Of the supervisors. At the time Of the
com promise We understood that the rail.
road was to pay the amount agreed on
pending suit and that the case was to be
carried to final decision. Why it was
dismissed when thousands has been
spent on it surpassed our ken.

Secretary Carlisle in the course Of .
speech in congress In 1878 made use Of
the following language. "The absolute
and instantaneous destruction Of half the
entire movable property Of the world,
including houses, ships, railroads and all
other appliances for carrying on com
merce. while il would be felt more SEN
sibly at the moment, aould not produce
anything like the prolonged distress and
disorganixation Of society that must inev-
iiably result from the permanent xnnihi.
lAtion OF one.half OF the metallic money
IN the world"
There is no doubt but what Carlisle
Is still Of the opinion that the withdrawal
OF silver as money metal would entail
a world OF desolation and distress among
the wage earners Of America, but the
strong opinion Of the president has over
mastered the once brilliant Congressman
and made him subserviant to the views
Of the master. Secretary Gresham was
once q bimetallist but he, too, has sue
cumbed to the iron will Of Cleveland.
That these two able men should be hand
led by the president shows that 1t is the
purpose Of the administration at any cost
to force the white metal aside and en-
throne gold forever in Its place.

Antiquity of Eeu Founding.

The art Of bell founding IS undCubted-
Is OF great antiquity. I1e 1GEOCs are
known u have used balls in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end Of the seventh century, a.lude5
to than in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar things.
Tie towers Of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable Dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire, there was a famous
peal Of seven bells MANY years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after We're the chief practitioners Of the
art Of bell fOunding-which indeed IS one
Of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to Us. Their bells
were rarelv without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point Of which IS
quite lost. More often they Were Of q re-
ligiOus nature, sometimes. We fear, not
unniXed with a dash Of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives aH;ay the demons Of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
ana thunderstorms.
AS rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, q defect which has
been III some measure overcome by the
researches OF many enthusiastic campa-
~nologists, but which is likely to keep The
early history Of bells shrouded in dark
ness for a long time to come.-Gentle-

A WICHITA COMPOSER,

Mr.. Fl. A. Sheppard has just received
from the publishers the first edition of his
three latest musical compositions. Two of
these are vocal selections, entitled: "What
He Said to Me, and Il Am Coming in the
Cleaning" The instrumental piece is
the "Oneita Waltzes," apd it would be
quite well to say that these are some of
the prettiest waltZes written of late years
The words of the first named song were
written by George Morgan, Esq, well
known attorney of Philadelphia. and the
words of the latter by W. X. Sheppard of
S.. Paul, Mimi, an uncle of the composer
The waltzes, especially, are meeting with
general favor here in the city, and give
promise of being as popular as the famous
Remembrance of Naples" and "Auf
Wildersehn" waltzes. The songs are very
pretty and catchy. Wichita certainly has
musical talent and thoroughly appre-

Much Pleased at the Prospects.
Secretary Howard of the Wichita Me-
chanical and Agricultural association re-
turned from Chicago yesterday, where he
attended meeting of the American Trot-
ting association. He showed them the
map OF America and pointed out to them
the Peerless Princess, and after recount
ing some of her achievements as fast
horse and racing center they unanimously
elected Wichita to membership in their
association. Yesterday was the closing
day for the stake races, and they were
not filed, although some seventy
three entries were made. The matter was
declared off and purses were given for
same classes. Four stake races were i'm
mediately opened and they will be filed
by June 10. As only two Of the six stake
races remained untitled it is considered
very fiattering expression of what horse
men think OF Wichita
Al yesterdays meeting the following
program was adopted for the races:
