The IlIlnoIg Report on TaxatlOn.

OF the second edition or the 1884
Report on Taxation In Illinois, by
George A. Schilling, Secretary Illinois
Labor Commission. Address George A.
SChilling, Secretary, Springfield, Ill.
This large book does not deal with
theories, hut with cold, hard facts,
taken from official records for series
of years, throwing q food of light
upon all relating to taxation. A cor
rect knowledge of facts must preCede
any sound theory, and this Invaluable
work gives the facts as they actually
exist, thus enabling each to construct
his own theory from reliable data.
The report quotes in full the laws of
Illinois governing assessment and tax
ation, which laws are very similar to
those Of Kansas, and shows in detail
the practical working Of these laws
and the gross inequality In rates of
tax actually paid by different classes Of
citizens and the pernicious results
upon the prosperity of the producing
classes.
1t details the exact manner In which
the millionaires of Chicago shirk their
share of public burdens, while the
farmer and small home owner bear
practically the entire load. A typical
case Is that of a Chicago man who re-
ceiVed an annual income Of 6 per cent.
on an investment of $5,OO0,OOO and
swore In his assessment at $4,000, yet
he posed as a sanctifed saint and as
sumed to be the moral censor Of the
entire community. Men who every
day In the year own from 1000, 900 to
100000 bushels of wheat In Chicago
elevators pay no personal property
tax and their real estate Is assessed at
only to 5 per cent. of selling value,
while farms and small homes pay on
from so to 80 per cent. of selling value
Of all real and personal property.
Banks, railroads and other corpora
tions do even better than this, and pay
practically no taxes at all, although
they own more than half the assets In
q majority of the counties.
Mr.. Schilling shows conclusiVely the
utter hopelessness of reforming an
originally vicious system-s system
inherited from the ban bsrous past of
European monsrchies- and which was
svowedly designed to cast all public
burdens upon the poor and shield
from taxation "the upper classes" F"
He also shows the true and effective
remedy to be in right system Of tax
alton and shows what that system Is.
He also shows the steady decrease of
values In rural communities and the
steady increase Of city and corporation
values, as evidenced by actual sales
and current quotations, and to what
extent and why this variation Is the
result of the vicious system of taxa
tion. The book contains numerous
tables, maps, plates, ETC., each clearly
explained in the reading text, and IL q
work of great ability and much labor
ious research. It has attracted the
attention of scholars in all parts Of the
world and has been widely noticed by
the pregs of both continents.

A person who knows exactly the right
thing to do In sudden emergency, without
stopping to think dt all; deserves to have
his presence Of MIND noted aud commend
cd. A German drum majcs has lately
attained such distinction, with good rea-
son.
A regiment Of the imperial army, rest
Ing on a country road, was appalled, to sec
a great bull madly pursuing q little child
In field which was near by and yet SO
far away that the child could not be reach
ed in time to save it, nor yet saved by tho
shooting,of the apimal
The bull had his horns down, and all
the soldiers were Mortified to see that In
another moment the child must be gored
to DEATH For an instant no one seemed
to know whit to do, and then the drum
major shouted to tie buglers of the hand
who stood near with their Instruments
In their hands to sound q loud blast. They
looked aghast
Sound, / say, for Gods sake, to save
the child!' he repeated
Then the buglcrs blew blast at, the top
of their lungs The drum major knew
that animals Of the COW kind are 80 much
affected by strange and high pitched ma.
steal sounds TINT they seem compelled to
initiate them. This bull proved to he no
exception to the rule. ,--,
As soon as he heard the bugle blast he
paused In his pursuit Of the child glanced
toward the band raised his head and be-
gan to below muddy. The buglers kept
up as high and dhcordant tumult as they
could, and meantime soldiers were run
ming to the rescue Of the child.
Before the bull had finished his atten-
ton to the bugles the child was in place
of safety. Companion.

Tho Republicans of our State occupy a
very high plane in the scale of morality
and honor. For honor, they will destroy
the party, and even contribute to defeat
the election Of Mckinley to the Prcsidcn-
cy. 1t Is rare indeed, that such an exam
pie of adhesion to principle can be found
among politicians in any part of the world
outside of Delaware. Think of it, in or
der to punish Addicks for his detcrmina-
ton to be o candidate for United States
Senator, they have decided to contribute
to the election Of Bryan to the Presidency
They have decided to defeat the election of
member of Congress-, and allow an at
vocate of free trade and free coinage of
silver to represent our State and also
Democrat of the same kind to go to the
United States Senate. The Governor is to
be sacrificed also, in order to vindicate
their adhesion to honor. OF course politi-
cal death Is preferable to disgrace and our
leaders are ready to have their names writ
ten ON the rolls of the martyrs who died,
rather than deny their faith. There are
few such shining examples OF honor, pa
triotisn, integrity and love of country, in
ancient OF modern history They can only
be compared with the martyrs who died
Tor their faith, or, moro properly, perhaps,
to Samson, who slew himself, as well as
scores of enemies, when he pulled down
the temple. History will repeat itself,
men will be sensible to the last

Arnour's Religion,

In the course Of conversation with
Philip ID. Armour of Chicago the other
day Frank G. Carpenter the newspaper
correspondent, asked him If he was u
Christian II am not a Christian" was
Mr.. Armour's reply, sin the sense Of be-
ing "a member of the church, but believe
in Christianity. l believe in Christ rather
than creeds go to church, and my boys
have been brought up to go to church. I
know that they went when they were
young. I ain afraid thcy don't 40 as much
as they should now. The churches arc all
right, and think the closer man keeps
to them the better. 1t makes little differ
cnce TO me, however, rs TO the minor parts
OF the different doctrines which tho
churches profess, and think TINT there is
about an equal chance for the Catholics
and Protestahts-that they are each on the
right road to heaven" "You were speak
ing OF your boys, MIR. Armour. How about
them Arc they good business mem" IL
think So said Mr.. Armour as smile of
conscious pride came across his face. MY
boys arc, you know, my partners They
do most of the BUSINESS now and all I
have to do is to sit here and kick now and
then"

Republicans, predicts that they will get

Gates free coinage and endorses, or at least

coinage advocates will be selected for Gov
