trayed. but they were for the moment
powerless to defend themselves.
Thursday evening. the fun treachery
was revealed. Mr.. Dear's gang struck
their blow. and a foul and d~astardly one
it was. OF course Mr.. Dear was not down
at Trenton. He had the tip to keep out
of the way. But the rest of the combina-
ton did the work neatly and scientifically.
Two Infamous reports were fled. If they
were not drawn by the hired attorneys
of the railway companies, they were cer-
tainly inspired by them.
The first proposal is that a poll tax
should be levied in this State under
penalty Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In other
words. it Is proposed that the poor devil
living on a dollar a day should be made
pay the same tax as John I. Blair. And
for what? For the mere privilege of
living. OF all the oppressive, unwar-
rantable and outrageous survivals Of
mediaevalism that can be Thought of,
the poll tax is about the worst.
Then we have a second report, signed
by H. c. Moore. Chairman of the Com
mittee on Railway Taxation. Who IS
H. c. Moore, by the way? This precious
document proclaims that the railroads
are the victims of taxation to a shocking
extent. 1t was all in ''The News and of
course in the Journal" too, of yester-
day. so we will only reproduce the final
extraordinary paragraph
It seems, therefore, unwise, in the Judg-
ment of your committee, that any fresh
burden should be laid Upon the railroad
efforts rave been exhausted in every d.
rection toward equal assessment of pro-
pertyzall classes should have their just
share. The railroads should not be called
upon TO pay for the ~delinquencies of pri-
vate individuals.
To refute the monstrous lies, thus con-
densed into a few words, it is only neces-
sary to print one summary from the ex-
hibits now before the State Commission,
and which will shortly be published in
the case which Jersey City will submit
as a basis for its application for a report
favoring a radical change of the law.
Here are the figures:-

advertisements to the contrary only pro-
vokes smile with all we'll informed people.

different matter, and we have taken great
pride and satisfaction in the way the in
telligent public of the Northwest have re-
sponded to invitations since Jan. 1, and

shrinkage and diminution of business all

abled plymouth" buyers to keep in touch
with every important manufacturer and i'm
porter in the trade and to secure thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth of New
Spring Merchandise. which we shall offer at
prices that will amaze and dumbfound even
the shrewdest buyers!
The utter stagnation of business during the
past two months, with the manufacturers as
well as with the importers and jobbers, has
given us unprecedented opportunities to buy
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
New Spring Merchandise at prices that are
as nothing compared with the actual cost to
manufacture and import!

instances four times its usual purchasing

DEAD MEMS SHOES.
The Peculiar Customs and Beliefs
Concerning Them.


Concerning Them.
Dead mems shoes is common express

world, where the boots of the dead are ac-
corded much Importance.
In Scotland, in the northern parts OF Eng
land, In Scandinavia, as we'll as in Hungary,
Cretia and Roumania, the utmost care Is
taken among the lower classes that each
corpse is provided with pair Of good shoes
before being laid into the ground. If the dead
person happens to be tramp and to have
been found dead. barefooted, there will always
be some charitable soul to furnish pair of
good boots for interment along with the
corpse.
An inspector of police In Scotland has been
known to purchase of his own accord new
pair of boots and to place them in the grave,
recpened for the purpose, of a murdered
stranger, who had been inadvertently inferred
barefooted the day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tsiganes. well as in many parts
of Asia, is attributable to the belief that, un-
less the dead are well shod wien buried, their
ghosts come back to haunt the locality where
they breathe their last, In search of pair of
