Corporation Taxation and Expenses.

but, though in the right direction, it does
not strike at the root of the difficulty
Our trouble is not so much the great bur
den of taxation as it is its unequal dis
tribution There are luxuries in city life
which cannot be enjoyed without large pub

private As a rule the benefits of these are
reaped with very little discrimination for or
against any, hence all should equally share
in the expenses-that is. in proportion TO

lot in any part of the city with 40 600 square
feet pays as much as the Denison House.
though the latter derive 900 times the
benefit from the sewer. The carrying off
of surface water is practically nothing
when there is no roof over IL TO prevent
its absorption. and no domestic Stops to be

as to street improvements. Thousands are
heavily taxed To- improve streets they never

Take Heart.

.'Disheartened' Have you ever thought
OF what the dreful word portrays?
Despotled of heart; each fond hope caught
On whirling rim OF neetlng days.
Once bright anticipations limned
A future rcbed in charming dress;
Sweet melodies divinely hymned,
T. sr breathed of coming happiness.
You thought, perchance, upon the smiles
Your own would win from saddened hearts;
AS sunshine, Nature eer begulles,
And cheerfulness its like lmparts
The years sped on; the gold you'd touch
To ashes turned and worthless grew;
While dross has changed to gold for such
AS you once scorned They now mock you.
You dreamed-ah! who has not thus dreamed
The days to come would glide with joy.
Your youthful mind with visions teemed
OF unsought sweets your taste to cloy.
How foolishly astray you found
Your first imaginings to be;
The fruit you sought has proved unsound-
The canker marred 1t on the tree.
Most painful of all thoughts, to you,
Is that you'll ever have to face
Your boyhood friends who kept in view
The goal, and won from you the race.
Meier envy those who, from their height,
See you still struggling for your life;
They do not all sneer at your plight
But some would aid you in your strife.

There needs one sad soul friendleSs be,

Where er she worthy need may see.
There comes some one Ger each ones path
Who some safe place for worth can find
And there is hope for him who hath
The win to heed an impulse kind.

To perish if you're worth the touch

A Trying Test.

On Saturday the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
& Chicago commenced hauling its limited
fast train between Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne, 800 miles, without change of loco
motive. A Glass x engine was attached to
the limited express No. 5, and run through
to Fort Wayne, a distance of 800 miles
without breaking a coupling or changing
the fire. While the engine selected was
in ffrst-class condition, like all the engines
of the Fort Wayne road, no special effort
was made to select an extra good machine.
The start with the heavy train of six yes
tibuled Pullmans was made nearly on time
This train is scheduled to make the run
to Crestine in eight hours and tIirty-two
minutes and make six stops on the way,
with a five-minute stop at Crestiine. The
t1Ve-minute stop was arranged on the pres
ent schedule to allow for a change of en-
gines but with the engines running through
from Pittsburg to Fort Wayne the time
can be cut down considerably if necessary.
The engine crews will change at Crestline
as usual but ii is said that eventually
they will cover the 320 miles. or in other
words take supper in Pennsylvania and
breakfast in Indiana. After arriving at
her destination the engine will be turned
and started back on No. 6, after stop of
inst one hour

eral contractor, arrived in Marion to-day.
and before their departure they had paid

railroad up to June 10. This was followed
by the resumption of work among the
strikers between Paramount and Summit

of the undertaking are again on the rise.
Mr.. CIodfeter said to-day that the delay
in making payments was not due to a want
of money, but to a dispute between the Off
GERS of the company and the contractors.
He added that the differences had all been
settled, and that hereafter there would be
no occasion for delays. He still insists that
the line between here and Anderson viii
be in operation by the LIST of September.
He says that Contractor Enricht is under
