Suit Tried For the Refund of the
1893 Tax.

The case OF A. II. Raleigh against
Salt. Lake City was yesterday tried be-
fore Judge Cherry without a jury, and
taken under adyisement by his honor.
MessTs. 2 S. Richards and a. Miner
represented the plaintiff, and Assistant
City Attorney d. b. Homestead was
for the city.
The plaintiff sued to recover $1,677.14
on 149 causes of action for spriukling
tax paid in the year 1893. The plaintiff
paid his own s,rinkling tax and 14S
others, who also paid, assigned their
claims To Mr.. Raleigh for the purpose

is illegal, and has been so declared by
the supreme court.
For defense, the def 'ndant's counsel
pleaded the statute of limitations. and
also that the tax sought to be recovered
had been paid without any protest be-
ing made.

TO KEEP CHILDREN IN AT NIGHT

II is somewhat surprising to be told
that 200 cities have adopted curfow
ordinances, which compel children to
stay indoors vt night. and the re-
turns from these plnCes.-from the par
ents, school teachers, employers of
youthful labor, and especially the
chiefs of pollce-say cmphatlcally that
the efficacy Of the system Is beyond
all doubt. II keeps the little ones
off the streets at night, and II reduces
to a minimum those many crimes
which ruin the children and make one
doubt thu reality Of civilization.
In this months number of the
North American Review" Mrs. John
ID. Townsend sorcibly advocates the
general extension and adoption of the
curfew for children. After mentioning
the evils OF the present and the fright
full sacrifices OF children, she says:
1.-The only remedy seems to be com
pulsory responsibility, as indicated by
the curfew ordinances And II II is
necessary that such protection shorld
be afforded the children In city OF
100000 population, lew much more IS
desirable when the population In 80
much greater-so large a proportion OF
the children thereof having been sur
rounded by vice from birth. Beyond
the advantages to the youth and right
thinking parents, the aid thus afforded
TO the police In the suppression of
crime must be considered, as also the
additional comfort afforded to citizens
who are compelled TO be abroad AZ
night In being freed from the shocking
sights and sounds which greet the eye
and ear In many portions OF our city,"
The proof OF a suggestion like this
Is In the trial, and whenever II has
been tried 1t seems 10 have done good.
We may yet have In all the cities the
curfew, calling In the little ones at
night and giving them more home ex- I
perience than their present freedom
grants. - Baltimore American.
