WHAT ANIMAL is THIS2
A MonstrosIty Caught with Hooks in an
Ohio Creek.

"A Monstroslty Caught with Hooks In an
Ohio Creek.
A small boy living on the banks of
Eagle creek, very fond of fishing with
trot lines, the other morning went out
to run his line, says Necl (O) cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Finding one end of it broken loose from
its place, he got in his boat and crossed
to the other side of the creek to find the
other end of his line.
Taking hold of it and giving it a little
pull he thought he had Il huge fish. He
called for help to save it and man
came to help him, and when they got to
it They found alarge animal about eight
feet and n half long, with sixteen legs
andtfour eyes. He had caught himself
on the hooks, and had eleven large
hooks fastened in his body. After a
long and severe struggle they got the
animal ashore.
lie seems to be n very quiet animal,
and will be easily tanned. They now
have him tied with 4 rope, and with a
SLOW, steady pull he will crawl out on
the bank and lay for a short time, and
then go back into the water.
He has head somewhat like horse,
neck like dog, short, thick legs and a
short tail. He is Of u dark brown color,
with short, fine hair. lie has six toes
on his front and hind feet, and only
Iour on the rest of his feet. He meas
urcs five feet four inches around the
body behind the front legs, and tapers
gradually back, and measures two feet
ten inches in front of the hind legs
His nostrils are much larger than those
of a horse, and he makes noise like q
d uck: only Il great deal louder.

HEAVY TAXES IN ROME.
Levying OF an Unwonted Family Tax
Raises Discomfort.

Levylng OF Unwonted Family Tax
Raises Discomfort.
The British consul in Rome. referring
in Il recent report on the condition of
that city to its financial position. men
tions the levy of an impost called "tassa
di famiglia," or family tax. This, ac-
cording to the New York Post, is one of
the taxes which all Italian communes
are authorized by law to levy, but
which until the present time had never
been resorted to in Rome.
The general law on this subject has
fixed one hundred dollars as the highest
amount chargeablc on a family, where
as, in Rome, as also in other chief towns
of Italy, the necessary power was OBJ
tanned to raise the maximum figure to
ESQ. This tax has caused great discon-
tent, chiefly on account of its nature. as
it is inquisitorial, and is imposed in pro-
portion to the presumed income or well
fare of each family. There are forty
two different classes of TAXPAYERS
Those having Il minimum income of
four hundred dollars year are taxed
ut the lowest rate of two dollars, and
those having maximum income of
twenty thousand dollars or more the
highest. four hundred dollars. This
tax is expected to yield about two hun
dred thousand dollars year.
Foreign families who have not their
permanent residence in Rome, and who
do not own real property or who excr-
else any profession and have no car
riagcs, although they may have rented
unfurnishcd apartments for number
of years, have not been included on the
rolls of this tax.

DO WE WANT THEM?
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION PROB.
LEM.


Hon. Stephen Phillips OF Salem, Massa-
chusetts, who was attorney general OF Hawaii
in the cabinet Of King Kamchamcha v. states
in an interview that he is strongly in favor OF
annexation.
1.-THE indications arc,n he said, 'that the
little kingdom will be absorbed Into American
union. ! sincerely hope that 1t will soon.
But the change involves important consc-
1uenccs-absolutc annihilaiion OF the mon
Mcnial TTfmt1ptes OF labor laws,
the extension of uniform laws against the I'm.
portntion of contract laborcrs, complicated
questions of race, Of education, OF religious
faith, and the enforcement OF federal author
ny at n remote point, exposed to the jealous
les and intrigucs OF foreign powers, and Ger
tain corruptivc influence In classical times
called pro-consular.
Zone thing Is certain Hawaii ought no, NJ
present to be admitted rs II state Nor Is II
consistent with true rcpubllcanism to aiTec, u
patcrnal spirit, and conceal the wasting relies
OF a once noble, though savage race, as wards
OF the nation upon wretcled reservations
where their tribal character may he respected
yet they soon become the scorn and contempt
OF their enemies and the melancholy prey OF
their friends. Let Hawaii with their Poly
ncslan citizens be Immediately admitted as n
territory Of the United States with the right
to be admitted as n state In due season.

MATTER OF PENSIONS.
Gossip Regarding the Proposed Redue
tlon In the Lat.

Gossip Regarding the Proposed Reduce
tion In the Lat.
The Washington Star has this gossip re-
| gardng the proposed reduction In the pen
sion list:
Recent Developments have aroused great
deal OF Interest In the pension question, and
there Is growing conviction that Its agitation
Is going to be one OF the most prominent
features OF the new administration. Mr..
Cleveland has already made record on his
pension vctoes, which appear not TO have
hurt him much In the last campaign. 1t Is
understood that he now hopes to effect n COM
plete reform in the methods of granting PEN
s!ons and to purge the pension roll during tho
course of his administration OF pensioners who
arc carried improperly, and to cut down cS-
cessive pensions.
In this connection great deal Of discus
sion was provoked at the Capitol by the
speech of cx-secretary Fairchild at Richmond
In which he told the Southern Democrats
that they need not stand back and be afraid
to deal with the pension question rs It should
be dealt with.
There Is no doubt felt among Democrats
that Mr.. Cleveland intends TO handle the
question without gloves, with the purpose to
reduce the annual payments us low as posi-
bic. The talk Of transferring the pension
Office TO the war department Is said 10 grow
out of the expectation that Colonel Lamont
VIII be at the head OF that department, and In
the event OF transfer he will make the re-
vision OF the pension list aud reform Of
methods the conspicuous work OF the admin
istration OF his Office. Confronted with an
expenditure for pensions rapidly approaching
s2O0,00O,0O0 year, and ut the same time
threatened with deficiency In the treasury
at the time when the party is pledged TO a
considerable reduction Of the customs duties,
the Democrats feel that something must be
done TO reduce the draft upon the treasury,
and that they regard the pension expenditure
rs offering the hes: possible opportunity for
retrenchmcnt.
The proposition 10 transfer the pension bu-
rcau 10 the war department, to create COM
mission TO examine the roll and legislation on
the pension bill, designed 10 exclude from
the privilege OF pensions certain classes now
enabled to draw them, are MI part OF the
general policy which Is about TO be inaugu-
rated.
