for the past four years it is reasonable to
conclude that the taxes on at least 81
900, 900 of personal property have been
lost to the other taxpayers of the county
by erroneous assessments in this one in
stance"
This is very suggestive as well as in
~structive. The grand jury found that
the assessor must nave been tempered
with and in doing so violated his oath
of office. The grand jury found that
LELAND STANFORD was guilty of max
ing false returns Of his personal prop
city and in doing Sc had laid himself
Justly liable to the penalties imposed
upon persons who make dishonest or
false returns. Here was an opportunity
for a fearless and honest grand jury. 1t
could and should have set an example by
indicting both the assessor and the tax
Sinking senator. But this California
grand jury only roared very loud and
made a report to the court calling atten-
ton to assessment frauds. And there
the whole matter will probably end.
The moral Of this is plain enough,
however. The whole system of taxation
is wrong and the people have themselves
only to blame. The office of assessor is
everywhere regarded as of no moment
and men of very elastic consciences are
elected as assessors. The consequence
is that the property of great corpora
tions and wealthy land owners is assessed
ridiculously low, while the property of
! the middle class and the homes Of wage
workers are assessed for all they are
worth, and if it so happen that some
banker or capitalist has been assessed at
the same rate as other people the board
of equalization steps in and rates him
down.
The remedy will not be found until the
whole method of assessment is reformed
and the Office of assessor is elevated to q
standard above that of sheriff or county
commissioner and the men who fill these
places are chosen from the ranks of the
best business men of every community.

Guided in those of 1890. The amount of
wages paid increased from 50, 1876 $50 in

THE WEALTHY TAN SHIRXER.

The complaint of favoritism in the as,
sessment of property is every year sent
up by the tax payers of Durham, vet
Durham is not the only place by any
means where large property wner re-
sort to practice of undertaking the value
Of their property in order to evade the
tax which they justly owe. The meth
DDS are practiced all over the country,
and the same complaint is heard from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The ~plutOcrats and nabObs of Califor-
MIA are not only Sinking taxes on their
railroad and mining property, but they
manage to evade taxes on personal prop
erty whenever they can do so. Last
week the grand jury of Santa Clara
county, California, presented a report to
the court in which it called attention 10
the extremely low assessment of the
property of SENATOR LELAND STANFORD.
Extracts are given from the records
showing that 40 thoroughbred horses
are assessed at $45,3 300. The grand iurv
considers this stock, being of great value,
should he assessed at least $500, 900. Per
sonal property assessed at S2S, $50 should
be raised, in the judgment of the grand
jury, and the real estate assessed at
SlOl $50 should have its assessment in
creased $4,000 The report adds: In
view of the fact that this property has
been assessed at about the same figure.

Of their mutual insults, but as deadly

For l shall sadly sigh for her no more.
Although my heart with longing pangs lie

And rent with loves sweet lingering memories,
III try to drive her from my fancy's eye,
And in the future I'll forget the past.

But like all things Of earth must surely die:

EDWIN BOOTHS FIRST BOW.
Appeared as Tresssi I'm Richard III. with
His FATHERS spurs.


Edwin Booths and Frank Mayo's first
speaking parts were the same-!Iressel in
"Richard ILL.," Mayo WAS a failure in IL
in San Fran cisco more than thirty years
ago. Edwin Booth played the part at the
Boston Museum on September 10. lsi9.
He was then acting a. companion and
dresser TO his father, says Wdeerig MdgG.
zine, and half hour before the play. was
to begin was standing in the wings OF the
stage where Jacob Thoman. the prompter.
was arranging some details of the play.
Thoman was also cast for Tressel. and,
ANNOYED at the double task imposed upon
him, turned to Edwin and urged HIM to
take his place on the stage. The lad Che
was then but sixteen) finally consented,
and. dressing for the part, sought his
fathers dressing-room. where he found the
elder Booth dressed for the part OF Rich
ard and waiting for the summons of the
call-boy.
The father surveyed the son critically
for moment and then asked abruptly:
who was Tressel?
"A messenger from the fields of Tewks-
bury"
What was his mission ?"
ITO bear the news Of the defeat of the
Kings partv."
How did he make the journey 7"
ION horseback"
Where are the spurs?"
CHANGING down the son noted their alb
sence and said he had not thought of
them.
Here, take mine"
Edwin undid his fathers spurs and tied
them on his boots. When his work on the
stage was ended no again sought his
fathers dressing-room and found him
sitting seemingly in deep thought as be-
fore.
Have you done well?" was the ques-
ton that greeted him as he entered.
II think So was the reply.
Then give me my spurs" and Tressel
replaced the spurs on GlOster's feet.
Ii was thus that the greatest player OF
his time made his first bow to the public,
of which in ten short years he was to be-
come the idol.

pious negro man was exhortIng them
very earnestly TO prepare tor the
Judgment. but they seemed to get very
little comfort from his words and trembled
with dread. They continued grouped to-
cether, but after awhile the meteoric dis
