4 Card.

With objectionable ignorance of the facts,
the Advocate charges that voted for an in
crease in sheriffs commissions, when, as the
code will show, the amendment referred to
makes their commissions much smaller. Pre-
yious 10 the session of 1891 there were three
separate chapters relating to this matter.
Under the law of 1881, the sheriffs received
n per cent. commissions OH all taxes on which
a discount of p per cent. was given if paid on
days named by them in October, and were
given 8 per cent. Oh district school taxes, on
which no discount was allowed This law was
amended in 1891, and sherifls given uniform
rate of five per cent. and allowing a discount
on all taxes, including district school taxes
The effect of the law was to reduce their com
missions on all other taxes q per cent. and on
the school tax per cent with the discount on
The time on which discount was to be made
was extended to the whole month of October

The story that Hon. VIM. i. Wilson IS
to be appointed to position on the United
States bench is being revived. A new ju-
dicial circuit has been created in Texas,
and it is to this position it is now said the
President will appoint him. Of course, the
story is started by a Republican paper, and
nothing would De more pleasing to the Re-
publicans than to have him appointed to
some position that would take him out OF
Congress. If Mr.. Wilson prefers Judge
ship to further Congressional honors the
Register trusts he may get it, bHt we would
respectfully advise our Republican friends
that Mr.. Wilson is still in Congress, making
his presence very much felt, in spite of their
present and previous efforts to get him out.

The project to erect granite shaft to the
memory of John Brown, at Harper's Ferry.
on the site of the building which he and
his sons converted into fort. deserves to be
encouraged. 1t is eminently fitting that
this movement should be headeded by men
like Frederick Douglass, Blanche X. Bruce
and John R. Lynch. 1t is easy to under
stand the gratitude in which the colored
race holds the memory of the rugged old
hero of Ossawatomie. The proposed mon
ument, however, should not be reared solely
by the colored people. The fame of John
Brown is part of the glory of the Republic,
and his sacrifices aud services were rendered
in the cause of freedom and humanity
The Harper's Ferry monument should be
the tribute of the people, regardless OF race,
party, section or creed.-Nelc York Press.
The promoters of the proposed monument
should see to it that it be properly inscribed.
For the truth of history we suggest the fol-
lowing "John Browns first victim at Har-
per's Ferry was an industrious, inoffensive
colored man." The inscription is our only
contribution-we make that cheerlully.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

The Coxeyites must behave them

the society people OF Washington and
to have the courtesies of the capital ex-
tended to them.
In Montana some of them broke into
n Northern Pacific round-house last
Monday night. seized an engine and
train, manned them from former rail-
road employees in their own ranks and
started East, running at the rate OF
forty miles an hour. Considering that
they were ignorant OF the roads time
schedule. this was rather n risky bust
ness to others besides themselves.
over in Jersey City division of the
grand army was not quite as successful
with its railroad experience as its
comrades in Montana. More than n
hundred OF them gathered at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's freight
yard at West End early yesterday morn
ing and boarded an empty freight train
that was to start south at o'clock.
The chief gateman shrewdly tele-
graphed to the Jersey city police to be
In readiness in force; waited until all
the unlimited passengers were in the
freight cars then locked the doors and
started with his load for the city. in
stead of heading south.
When the army saw where they
were going they managed with some
difficulty to break open the doors.

is very mixed. but 1t cannot stand such
doings as those. The Coxeyites must
learn to behave themselves If they ex-
pect to be welcome at the National cap
ital. Especially must they refrain from
stealing railroads. The Washington
people want to reserve that business for
themselves.
