SOURCES OF REVENUE.

The State Controller says in his annual
report that the assessed valuation of real
and personal property for each of the
years 1866 is less than for any year
since 1872, and the net proceeds Of the
mines which for twenty years following
the organization Of the State paid an
average amount Of $50, 900 per year into
the State treasury. now pay little more
than 81, 900 per year.
The assessment and equalization Of
taxes rests entirely with the County As
SCISSORS and Boards of Equalization. and
all cases of differentiation are a loss to
the State and county, and an injustice to
the taxpayers fairly assessed. That such
cases have been numerous is u~ndisputed.
The existing revenue law seems adequate
to correct such evils if enforced in letter
and spirit. and the Legislature should de-
wise means to secure such enforcement.
The amendment to Section so Of the
revenue law, approved March 9, 1885.
IS approved by the Supreme Court in the
case Of the State Of Nevada, respondent,
VS.. the Virginia & Truckee Railroad
Company. appellant, establishes a new
rule for the valuation and assessment
Of railroad property which may greatly
reduce the revenue to be hereafter de-
rived from such property.

To view Of the fact that u Legislators
will soon be called upon to vote on the
equal suffrage question, the following may
not be embarrassing:
The Wyoming House of Representa-
tives of 1898, just before adjournment
passed by q unanimous vote the following
concurrent resolution:
Resolved, By the Second Legislature
Of the State Of Wyoming, that the pos
session and exercise Of suffrage by the
women Of Wyoming for the past quarter
Of q century, has wrought no harm and
has done great good in many ways; that
il has largely aided in banishing crime.
pauperism, and vice from this State, and
that without any violent or oppressive
legislation; that it has secured peaceful
and orderly elections, good government,
and q remarkable degree of civilization
and public order; and we point with pride
to the facts that after nearly twenty-five
years Of woman suffrage not one county
in Wyoming has q p~oorhouse, that our
jails are almost empty, and crime except
that committed by strangers in the State,
is almost unknown; and as the result Of
experience we urge every civilized COM
munity on earth to ~enfranchise its wo-
men without delay.
Resolved, That an authenticated copy
of these resolutions be forwarded by the
Governor Of the State to the Legislature
Of every State and Territory Of this coun.
try, and to every legislative body in the
world; and that we request the press
throughout the civilized world TO call
the attention of their readers to these
resolutions.

While the State debt Of Nevada is the
least Of my in the Union, the limit
allowed by the Constitution lie very
nearly reached. This limit is $500. 600,
and the State debt at present is s227,.
900. The taxable property in the State
has decreased about IS 5000. 900 in four
years, and as the State tax OF 30 cents
on such valuation has not been increased
ID is very evident that the most rigid
economy consistent with the efficient
management Of the State Government is
essential to enable the State to maintain
its sovereignty. There are State insti-
tutions which must be supported by the
taxpayers. These are the Prison, the
Hospital for Mental Diseases and the
Orphans Home, and. to . considerable
extent, the State University and the
public schools. These are necessarily
expensive, but il the State fails to sup
port them it must 60 out of business.
The State officers and members OF the
Legislature fully recognize the condition
of affairs. A majority Of the members
of both Houses Of the Legislature are
engaged in agricultural pursuits. They
are intent on e~conomizing everywhere,
but there are few places where the
pruning knife can be applied. Penal,
eleemosynary and educational institu-
tions must be maintained, and provision
must be made for their support. But
little more can be borrowed by the State,
aud unless the Constitution is changed,
or there is . material increase in taxable
property, or the rate of taxation is in
cressed-and property-holders say they
cannot stand . raise in that direction
the Legislature must hs circumspect in
appropriating State funds, and vote no
money out Of the Treasury except for
actual necessary expenses.-Rsno Jour.

from the beginning the developments in

effort to connect Ivory with their alleged

YER. When the sensation was sprung in
startling black type or the eve Of the

impression on this side Of the water was
that Scotland Yard. inspired by certain
political leaders. coDjured up . conspir.
acy in order that Great Britain might
hustle to ostentatiously protect Nicholas
and thus further oonciliats Russia, whose
relations with England Of the time were
severely strained. Nothing has since
occurred TO dissipsts this impression,
and English justice has simply performed
an act which il could not avoid without
odium.

With all our boosted support OF law
and order, the fact remains that the
United States has more murders charged
up against il than any other civilized
nation on earth. Look ct the record OF
10, 652 crimes Of that character committed
in the year 1896. 1t is almost unbeliev-
able. No other nation in the world Of
fers anything to compare with it. What
does it all mean 1t cannot be that we
are drifting into savsgery. 1t doesn't
signify that morals are decaying or that
intelligence is giving way to Ignorance.
Possibly it is because the administration
of justice is tardy and uncertain. or be-
cause the laws delay offers q loophole
to the criminal, or because j~uries can no
longer resist the appeals of sympathy as
against the stern demand Of duty. No
matter what the cause may be, human
life has become too cheap in this country.
With lO,652 murders in q single year,
and only 100 legal executions and l3l
ly~nchings, the Great Republic presents .
record which the world will surely regard
a. proof that there is something dresd-
fully, dangerously, ~wickedly wrong in
our social and civil system.

Boohoo, boohoo, what shall do,
With this old elephant big,
Who hangs around and makes me bound
In q whirlpool Of 3 jig?
This elephant, alas, l can't
Shake of, though hard / try;
A Jonah, be will stick TO me
Until be makes me CRY.
He bothers me all night,
He bothers me all day
Do what l will, be bothers me still
And will not keep away.
I pull my hair and rip and tear
To beat ten thousand bands;
oh, curse the fate that put . great
Big elephant on my hands.

His fsbby chest expands,
For we'll he understands,
That l have got 9 great big pot
OF an elephant on my hands.
oh, now / brew in an awful stew.
And 1 frizzle and fume and fret,
For it's no PORTFOLIO. by 10,
That he'll yank in the Cabinet
Though Sherman gray from the Senate's

And the things no better for me
'Twould just fit Mark, but 9 horse quite
dark,
In Bushnell now / see.
For he's hunting all the night,
And he's hunting all the day,
And poor old me is up 9 tree
And up e tree to stay
1 rips and rants and splits my pants
At Fate's austere commands,
And all concur my manager
Is an elephant on my hands.
CHORUS.
All day around he stands,
And gayly on me lands.
Till I know by the trunk
That 9 marked "Podunk,"
I've an elephant on my hands.
I'll have to put my blooming foot
Down on the FESTIVE Mark,
Who e'er hobs up to fill my cup
With grief's Peruvian bark.
He's not the gent to Represent
This country in Peru,
And so I CRY, oh. what will I,
What will I ever do,
For he follows me all night,
And he follows me all day,
A bugsboo and a hoodoo
He turns me blue and gray;
Until l jump and thump and bump
Along these Canton sands.
And curse my lot that ever I got
This elephant on my hands.
He with his demands
For we'll he understands
/ have the bulk Of Q great big hulk
OF an elephant on my hands.

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two thousand Years Ago HAD
Some Practical Convenienccs.

IeoPte TWO Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Convcnienccs.
In two of the museums of old Roman
antiquities ut Naples there are several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle Of the water tube. the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 1000
years ago. Mr.. W. Il. Bonner of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to ho us inter
csting rs they arc beautiful. Ono of
them consists of an outer shell -
inches i'll diameter and nearly II inches
high, surmountcd by somewhat hclni-
specifically shaped top. Inside this shell
is ;in internal Cylinder, also having a
hemisphcrical top, which is 10 inches
i'll diameter and y inches high Tho
two shells are connected at the bottom
by Il rim, like the mud ring of loco
motive tirchox, and the space between
them WAS filled with water. The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldcrcd or
braZcd. These tubes open ut both ends
into the bottom Of the space between
the shells thus forming Il water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed on the CRATE
through an opening i. S inches high and
i inches wide, closed by IL beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tubes cross
ing from the inner to the outer she'll
about Sc inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about ~
inches on IL tripod so MS to allow mir to
reach the fuel. III another boiler of
somewhat the Same type the outer shell
has the form Of an urn, whilc the inner
shell rises from Il water tube grutc to
an opening i'll the side. It is - inches
Ill diameter at the widest part, l7.6
inches high and supported OH tripod
about inches high. Its general shape
Is much like that of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, of course, it is much
larger and has y top closed by lid 1t
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as we'll as water, which suggcs-
ton appears reasonable, as many his
torians state that the Ponpeiians made
great use of hot drinks 1t may be that
they were found i'll one of the tcrmpodi
or cafes, Of which there were several in

Her OlN Slave Aided Her.

Two members from Mississippi were
swapping stories during the intervals
between refreshments, when in an acct
dental way tho name of ex-senator
Blanche X. Bruce was mentioned
THAT reminds me- said one, ''of IA
story told me long time ago by bar
keeper at the Ebbitt. 1 was in there one
day when Bruce came i'll, went into one
of the side rooms, and having been
served, walked out without saving any
thing to any one.
You don't draw tho color line here,
John, ! remarked TO the barkeepcr.
Not on that man, sir, l don't was
the reply. I have had u pretty good
opinion Of him since a little thing that
happened soon after he first came here.
Bruce was in his seat at the capitol
one day, when a card was brought to
him. He read it and at once went out
to the waiting room. There he met The
woman who owned him when he was Il
slave. With her was her daughter. Both
We're III tears. She had lost all Of her
property during the war and was abso-
lutcly penniless. The negro once her
slave was the only man she knew in
Washington. She appealed to him.
Bruce listened to her story He got his
hat and went outside with her. His car
riage, drawn by handsome pair of
bays, was waiting there He called the
carriage, assisted the mother and daugh-
ter to enter it with Us much Difference
as he could possibly have shown them
