Here is a bit of New Year advice
from Sol Miller: beware how you
pitch in to redress grievances. Es-
pecisAy if you are editing q new:
paper, beware Of this. Men will come
TO you;and fell yeyaH Rannc of scan
dalous>tIings that strsulf be exposed,
until you feel that you are chosen and
snnointed for that especial purpose
You pitch in and expose some rascal.
IF g. broken head or a sore sitting
downarraugement is the consequence,
it belongs exclusively TO you; the pub
lie have no ~intercstin ii. Perhaps, in
the process of d~enouncfrs fraud and
redressing grievances. you find your
self jcrked up in 8 libel suit. But
you feel that YOU are right, for you
have your witnesses Yes, you have
them. when you put them on the
stand, they don't know anything at all
nUeut it. You are the one that must
stand Se punishment and pay the
lawyer. Net a nan " heetae forward
to help you out in expenses. Let the
public. redress rs own griersnc.s.
under the laws in such case made
and provided"

the vessel became water logged. The
ship was pitching and dancing about
on the crest of the tempcstuous ocean
like q straw in a whirlpool. The pas
sengers were crying and appealing
to heaven for aid. Col. Throckmor-
ion, with all the gravity of a Ken
lucky gentleman, viewed the scene
with composure. The storm increased
in fury. The sailors were running

everything was in confusion. About
this stage of the proceedings the Col
onel edged over to tho side OF the
captain and said.
"'Tell me is there really any DAN
ger?
"'You see what the rest of the pas
sengers are doing replied the captain;
they are making their peace with

The prospect of a tax on pla, ing

humorous taxes that we had in war
times. All your photographs had to

you played cards the pack must be

Curioua Taxes in Rursfa.

The Russian Government; which
abandoned the idea of an incolEe tax
some time ago, has now determined
to impose q tax upon the rental of
occupied houses, to be paid by the
tenaR's. This impost will be levied
for the present only in 220 of the chief
towns in the empire. which will be
divided into four classes, according to
the estimated value of their house
property. The first class comprises
tho two capitals. Moscow and St. Pc
teYsburg. The second includes ten
toE'nsj- Easely: Warsaw, wilma, ka-
IAN, Kiev, kishincy, Odessa, Riga,
Ro%stoy-on-the Don, Saratov aud khar-
kov. There are siYty-seven towns in
the third class and 141 In the fourth.
All of them are situated in European
Russia and Poland, but the tax will be
extended hereafter to other parts of
the empire. The aggregate popula-
ton Of these 22O towns is about $780,
600, but the rating is' arranged SO as
to spare the poorer classes. Thus, the
lowest asnaal rentsi subject to the
tax is 500 rubles (S1J0) in the capitals
$50 AVID 12O rubles respectively.
Arrangements have been made for a
fifth class, in which the lowest taxable
rental will be so RULES, but as yet no
towns have becu selected Tor il. Be-
sides the privileged official and eccle-
siasticaa classes, schools, hospitals and !

- unfn the Noflh.
1t is proposed TO tax incomes, which
means to lay . special and sectional
tax upon Northern States, in order to
make up = deficiency to be created In
the revenue for the c of foreign
ers. The money thus to be raised
would be largely used, as the revenue
from the tariff on foreign goods is
now largely used, in paying expenses
made necessary by the late Rebellion.
That is, it is proposed to lay upon the
North, which remained loval and
subducd the Rebellion, q direct and
special tax, from which the South
would be practically free. Instead of
the section which made the enormous
war expenditure necessary being re-
quired to pay indemnity, the portion
OF the country which saved the Union
is to have laid upon it special and
mcst onerous burden.
II remains TO be seen whether any
Senators or Representatives from
Northern States are willing to 20 mis-
represent their section as 10 support
an income tax. II is easy TO understand
why Democrats from the Everglades
and the recesscs OF the Blue Ridge
may be willing to vote for a tax to he
paid in New York and other States
Of the North. But that any New
York or other Northern Congressman
could vote against the Interests of his
own section for the qualification OF
those who regard Northern thrift MS
q reflection on their own lack of en-
tcrprise and energy, seems Incredible.
