An AntIdote to Care.

Think that the grass upon thy grave Is green
Think that thou seest thine own empty chair
The empty garments thou vast won't 10 wear
The empty room where long thy haunt hath
been.
Think that the lane, the meadow, aud the wood,
And mountain summit feel thy feet no more,
Nor the loud thoroughfares, nor sounding
shore;
All mere blank space where thou thyself bath
stood.
Amid this thought-created silence say
To thy stripped soul. what am / now and where2
Then turn and face the petty narrowing care,
Which has been gnawing thee for many day,
And IL viii die as dies . wailing breeze
Lost in the solemn roar Of bounding seas.

John Farrell, writing to the St.
Louis Courier from Sidney, Austral-
ia, says:
"The New Zealand legislative
council has, on the second time OF
asking, passed a new electoral bill
under which oil males and females
over lwenty-one years of age, ,wheth-
er European or Maori, are given
one vote each, a former bill having
abolished voting on property quail
6cation. The next general election
in New Zealand will therefore give
Australia an example OF how female
suffrage will work. II will also
furnish the world with proof as to
Shelher the female vote is going to
strengthen conservatism.

This represents an expenditure
Of 81. .28 for each educable child Tor
at that rate) in the county, OF which
amount the state has paid 81 80 and
the county .48 cents {; or, for every
dollar paid by the state, the county
has advanced 26 cents on her school
children.
The average monthly salary paid
to teachers is as follows:

This difference in the two aver
ages represents the difference in the
qualifications and ability of the
teachers of each race and it is
mainly by this standard l am gov

the teachers.

I shall make to you for the term

who have but recently retired from
Office, took occasion to score the board
for their action in deciding against
the taxpayers Of the county and in
favor OF corporation, While the
decision was in favor of the commits
sioners legally, morally it antagonized
them in the extreme. The chief jus.
tiee said:
I've must admit that we are at. a
loss TO understand why, in so import
ant matter, the plain provisions Of
the statutes were overlooked and the
interests of the taxpayers of Bing
ham county at least ieopardized to
such an amount. The action of the
board of county commissioners in
this matter is another evidence that
in Idaho the interests and welfare of
the people is not subject, the in
tense consideration of which will be
at all likely to produce Insomnia with
the average commissioner. We do
not know upon what law, or by what
authority the board acted in cancelling
the $4,000 and upwards Of taxes
regularly assessed against the Union
Pacific railway. The board were not
sitting as a board of equalization.
The taxes had become delinquent
If it is claimed that the board acted
IN accordance with instructions from
the state board of equalization, we
saJ, this court on 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1891, more than month prior to
the making of the order of cancella-
ton By the board, had decided in the
case of Or vs.. the State Board of
Equalization, 81 Pac Rep, that said
board had no power to reduce the
assessment of railroad property made
By the county assessor. 1t appears
as though the interest of the taxpayer
had been Host in the shuttls' in this
proceeding. The district court in it's
zeal for the right and desire to de-
feat most palpable wrong upon the
people Of Bingham county, over
looked the provisions of law BY which
the case must be governed, and has
thereby imposed upon this court the
distasteful duty Of making decision
which of necessity does not involve
the merits of the case.
The hoard say: 1t is the opinion
of this board Of county commissioners
that the delinquent taxes Of the Union
Pacific Railway company, etc, cannot
be collected. Upon what evidence
this opinion of the board was predi.
Gated, or what potent arguments were
I Drought 10 Dear upon the board to in
duce them, or a majority Of them, to
reach such conclusion does not ap-
pear by the record, and is wholly a
matter Of conjecture, but surely the
reasons must have been convincing
that would induce board Of county
commissioners to take $4,000 from
the taxpayers of their county and
donate it to corporation, when such
action on the part of the board was
in direct contravention Of a decision
of the supreme court of the state.
"Verily, this is a sort of official
charity not included in the category
Of St. Paul, and the recognition of
which strains the plety of the tax
payers of Bingham county fearfully."

THE INAUGURAL BALL.

Grand preparations are being made
in Washington for the approaching
presidential inaugural bah. The fooI
manager, in arecent interview, among
other things, said:
Rules of etiquette are scarcely
necessary to be prescribed for an office
like this. OF course, it is well under
stood, though not officially given out
that gentlemen will not. others must
not eSpectorate on the floor; that
there shall be no showing in the
supperroom and no shooting inside
the city limits. Men are expected to
appear in full dress, ladies are re-
quested to appear without their hats,
but, contrary to British court regula.
lions. they may appear with or with
out as much else as they please
Strict democratic rule alone prevails
The public approach to the building
will be from g and Fifth streets, F
street being reserved for the president
and his party. One room will also be
reserved for the president. In the
ballroom raised stand, seating about
300, will be tacitly understood to be-
long to the president and his party,
though anybody who has the great
American nerve and the sublime con-
stitutional belief that all men are
crested free and equal can crowd
himself in there If he does not get
too numerous. The ball will begin
promptly at o'clock, and dancing
that is official dancing-will cease
promptly at II, as the 4th of March
this year falls on Saturday. OF
course We can't sweep out the hall as
the clock in the steeple strikes -. nor
officially guarantee that every dear
father will 60 home before /, but the
dance programme will be arranged to
end at midnight, and a Worlds Fair
Sunday closing act is therefore not
matter Of Federal legislation so far
as We are concerned.
"About 10 o'clock the presidential
party will appear, pass up the aisle,
pause to gaze and pass out as they
see fit. They usually spend an hour
or so promenading among the people
and receiving those who may be pre-
sented to them. As said, everything
is strictly democratic. There are no
patronesses of an inaugural balI--no
select few of the society Four Hun
dred who sit aioof in boxes and per-
NIT the people TO dance before them
at SIS and SO a head. There will be
no purple canopy draped over the
presidents head; nothing anywhere
to indicate that anybody or anything
is king but the people.
"The proceeds of the ball over and
above all expenses go to the poor of
the district. Tickets are sold at So
apiece on homogeneous principle.
Every extra lady is charged accord
lngly. The attendance at inaugural
balls is constantly on the increase.
The last inaugural year, after salts
flying all creditors and refunding all
subscriptions, $4,000 were turned
over TO the poor as a result of the
ball, and we have no reason to believe
that we shall not do even better this
year "--Republic.
