the collection Of the taxes l cannot
understand why this large amount Of
delinnuent taxes should be carried By
the city from year to year. TIE city
certainly cannot meet her obligations
unless her revenue il collected promps-
ly, and 1 would therefore recommend
that your honorable body taks some
action to that end. There is no good
reason why these taxes should not BE-
paid. If the assessment and rate Of
taxation were high, this might be q
reason why these delinquent taxes are
not paid, but this Is not $ g. The as

in addition to his taxes he Is compeil-
ed to pay o heavy interest and penalty.
Prompt measures should be adopted
by your honorable body, n these
old taxes as we'll as those not so old
be collected
Your attention is respectfully called
to sections Nos 56s, 81 and 5IS OF
Ordinances No. 52l, regarding the coli
lection of taxes. While upon the sub
iect of the collection OF the revenue |
would also suggest that old suits for
taxes in Judgment be disposed OF In

If prompt measures are not taken
for the collection of the. taxes the city
will run the risk of losing a consid-
cradle amount By being barred by the
statutes of limitation.
From a hasty perusal of the revised
ordinances | am led to believe that
some of the officers of the city do not
fully understand their duties, and now
that the ordinances are printed l trust
they will famiiiarize themselves with
the ordinances respecting their several

Promotion from the Ranks.

The number of men who enter the
army with a view to secure promotion,
outside of those who have relatives in
the service, is limited to a much smaller
number than is generally supposed.
The enactment of the law allowing en-
listed men Of any grade to apply for ex-
animation for a commission removed
all incentive for applicants to strive for
the lower non commissioned grades,
most serious defect in the law. 1t is
in keeping with the legislation advo-
Gated by Mr.. Proctor during his term
of office, relative 10 the gradual elm.
ination of the old soldier, and his re-
placement by better class of young
men, who were to be secured by hold
ing out as tempting bait promotion
from the ranks. The large number APP
plying for examination at present would
naturally lead to the supposition that
Mr.. Proctors object was surely being
accomplished, but such is not the fact.
The enlisted force of the army is to-
day composed of no better men than it
was ten or twelve years ago; in fact,
comparison results favorably to the
old soldier. The men who are now be-
ing examined for promotion do not in
any sense represent the great body Of
the enlisted men of our service. They
in reality represent class consisting of
about one-twentieth of the enlisted
force, who have nothing in common
with the other ineteen.twentieth, and
who are fully alive to the advantages
they possess over the West Point grad
uate in securing their shoulder straps
in one-half the time required by the
cadet to consummate his high ambition.
The enlisted men of the army, espe-
cially the old soldiers, look upon these
men as a favored class-and favored
they are in many ways during their
preparatory two years service. The
soldier reasons, and justly, that if the
four years of preparation at West Point
are necessary to fully equip the cadet
for the requirement of his position as
an officer, it is presumption to sup
pose that a man Of ordinary inteli-
gence can, in two years, in addition to
his duties as a soldier, fit himself for
the accomplishment of the work re-
CURED OF the graduate. Possessed of
the finest military college in the world,
which has been the Alma Mater of the
greatest soldiers of modern times, it
should be the aim of the United States
to supply the commissioned officers of

promotion from the ranks to extreme
cases, in recognition of extraordinary
acts of conspicuous bravery on the
battle field, or other distinguis ing fea-
ture of the soldiers service. -Harper's

OWING to the failure of the blueberry
crop, which usually furnishes the Winnie
bago Indians in northern Wisconsin liv-
ing, they are threatened with starvation the
coming winter. The Indians have already
contracted obligations with the merchants
which will exhaust their annuity to be paid
them on November 1. There seems to be
no likelihood of their getting any interest
on their principal of 100000, and they are
entirely without resources to keep them
through the winter
LESS than one third of the 400 people
who paid their income tax last spring have
applied for its refunding. 1t is said that
probably one third Of those who paid this
tax did 80 that they might hurry over to
Europe, and desired to comply with the law
before their departure. Most OF these have
not returned yet. The treasury department
is repr scented as anxious to close up the
incometax matter, and officials are rather
surprised at the remissness Of those who
paid in not filing their claims for its return.
COLONEL u. SPAULDING of San Francisco,
who has obtained an exclusive concession
from the Hawaiian government for a tele-
graph cable from the United States to

with the trustees of the chamber of com

selves to give the project all the aid in
their power. He estimates the cable com

APPLICATIONS have been made for writs
OF habeas corpus in the cases of the Bannock
and Shoshone Indians under arrest in
Wyoming. The attorney. general in direct
ing this course says that the treaty rights of
these Indians with the United States are
superior to the game laws of Wyoming.
Under the treaty the Indians were permit
ted to hunt on many Of the unoccupied
lands of the United States in Wyoming;
subsequently the state legislature passed
certain game laws which, it is asserted, the
Indians violated by shooting elk and thus
brought them into conflict with the state
authorities. Arrests of Indians by the state
authorities, it is said, followed, and now the
