The Norm II iSiuif.

The action of the Democrats of the
State Senate in their attempting
to abolish the State Normal
Schools is only a bluff to head
off the proposed establishment of
more Normal schools. There are a
few Democratic Senators who would
like 10 see the Normal schools abolish
ed. The Democratic party as a party
is not in favor of educating the people,
and these Senators who are fighting
the Normal sclools are loyal to their
party. The Normal schools are doing a
grand work for Missouri, and while
the Republicans are in power they can
never be abolished. Education means
Republicanism and Republicanism
means honest government and pros
perity for the country. Missouri is
redeemed from Bourbonism and here
Normal schools are here to stay.

n strange Tangie.

A marriage occurred out in Clinton,
Ia, the other day, which has caused a
strangefamily tangle. Thecontracting
parties were Mrs. Eunice HOlcomb,
aged a years, and a. Hollenbeck,
aged IS. This was the woman's sixth
matrimonial venture, and she had
been divorced from her fifth husband
only about two weeks. The tangle,
however, comes in through one David
Like, who is the brides step-father
and the gnoom's so~n-in-law. Thus
the bride becomes a mother-in-law Of
her own step-father, and s~tep-mother
of her own step-mother. The groom,
on the otherhand, becomes step son-ln-
law of his son-in-law. The singular
complications apply to other members
of the family, and they now intend to
relieve the monotony of the long win
ter evenings BY trying To figure out
just how they are related to one an
other.

American Sugar Refining Co. is. one
hundred and n~inety-ive: millions OF
dollars, and an intelligent estimate OF
the aggregate income derived from
them can not be less than from s5,Ooo,-
600 to Sc, 900, 900 annually. Notwith-
standing the vast capital of these grea,
corporations the records will be
searched in vain for the payment into
the state treasury of a single dollar in
taxes by either of them pursuant to

OPPOSITION of sIN9fE TAXES.
No action was taken with regard to
the balance of the report, mainly ow-
ing to the earnest discussion of the

i've committee on taxation. In view Of
the criticisms made as to the scope and
extent of the original work and sugs
gestions from those hter> sted in the
question, to the effect thas changes
proposed wereI9too radical, as nell as
from the exp sssion of the views of
changes i'll present methods With
might result in a failure of the entire
chapter and prevent the collection OF
the statutes under a six sic head III
proper order, some changes and modif-
cations have been made, of which the
most radical is the somewhat enlarged
supervisory powers of state assessors
under the name OF state commissioners
Of taxes.
h. The features with r~eferea:e to thtl
taxation Of corporations by r.similaf-
ing taxation upon capital stock toGthe
method employed in taxing banks, the
method of equalization by a nday to
consist of the assessors and super
visors to be presided over by a state
assessor, the equalization of personal
property, taxation of savings banks in
aSmanner different from that now pre-
scribed by law, have all been eliminat-
ed, together with many other matters
which were part of the bill as origin
ally presented.
