STATE BANK TAXATION.

Another very important feature Of this plan
is tho exemption OF State banks from taxation
by the United States In cases where IL Is shown
TO the satisfaction OF the Secretary OF the Treas
ury and Controller Of the Currency by banks
claiming such exemption that they have not
had outstanding their circulating notes exceed
ing Is per cent If their paid-up and unimpaired
capital: that their stockholders are individually
liable for the redemption of their circulating
notes To the full extent OF their ownership OF
stock; that the liability OF said banks upon
their circulating notes constitutes under their
state law a first lien upon their assets that
such banks have kept and maintained a guaran-
toe fund I'm United States lcgal-tender notes.
Including Treasury notes NJ 1890. equal 10 30
Ter cent Of their outstanding circulating notes.
and that such banks have promptly redeemed
their circulating notes when presented at their
principal or branch offices.
II Is quite likely that this scheme may be
uscfuliv amended in some OF It's details: but
am satisfied II furnishes a basis for a very
great Improvement in our present banking and
currency system.

ciating that the responsibility for all legislation
affecting the people OF the United States rests

enough and more than enough of
elections in which people express
their opinion OF his party, and his
feelings find expression in this way ::
They do say they have been hav-
ing a few more elections scattered
round through the country, and the
grins on the faces of the republicans
grow wider and wider and their lips
smack more loudly in anticipa ton of
the return of the year of the fatted
kline.
Let up on elections.
Boycott elections.
abolish elections out of the con-
stitution and swipe the word out of
the dictionary.
Some people know when to stop.
Nothing is more disgusting than
carrying things too far-carrying

There are thousands and thou

are plumb tired out at the mere
thought of an election.

THE SNOW STORM OF MAY. 1874.

EDITOR OF CALIFORNIAN: Mention
has been made of this event in the
CALIFORNIAN recently, more than
once, and | am tempted to add to
the contributions on the subject
what is said of it in the New Hamp-
shire Courier. That paper says that
in their part of New England it COM
menced to snow about four O'Clock
in the morning of Wednesday, May
Is, and continued steadily, without
wind, until about one O'Clock in the
afternoon, and at Haverhill, Pier
mont, Franconia and in the north
part of this state the snow was from
twenty to twenty-six inches deep.
The stage from Burlington to Ha-
verhill went all that distance on
runners the next day, and one of the
the snow and had to be abandoned,
the driver proceeding on horseback
with the mail.
Water froze in the dwelling houses
as well as in the open air and the
caves of buildings were loaded with
icicles.
The same paper says that sleighs
were all busy during Thursday and
Friday and in some places there were
traces of snow lingering on Saturday
morning.
AS far south as Concord icicles six
to eight inches long formed under
the caves of buildings, and the
ground was white with snow.
My father, whose memory is good
for all local events of the past
seventy years, says that the season
had been unusually early, that trees
were in leaf, and apple trees in full
bloom at the time of the snow, but
the day before was cold and raw,
and people planted corn with their
mittens on, upon the meadows in
Newbury. Old people say that the
farmers on the hills broke roads in
to the woods and pastures, and
brought home their exhausted sheep
on sleds. 1t would seem that such
wiDtry weather would have killed
all the fruit blossoms, but, so little
do we understand the laws of
nature, it surprises US to be told
that the year 1884 was "a good
apple year" F. P. w.
