a member OF congress from New Hanp-
shire. the state In which Zachariah Chan
der was born. There have been but few
years In tie present century during which
some ancestor or collateral relative of the
new secretary has not been in congress.
Another interesting fact Is that Chan
der Hale enters public life In the city OF
Rome. II was in that same city that
Lewis Cass, tr., began his public career
as minister 10 the papal states. The elder
Cas-. born in New Hampshire. only 3 few
miles from Zachariah Chambers birth
place. was for many years a rival of
Chandler in politics. and his predecessor
in the senate. IL Is related that when
Chandler first became conspicuous in poll
ties AS a candidate for governor. Cass ex-
srted his influence and his money TO de-
feat him After election Chandler gravely
remarked, What Gen. Cass did against
me VIII cost him his seat In the senate"
Later Cass heard OF this remark, and
promptly expressed his Indignation and
disgust.
What" said he Chandler succeed me
in the senate? That counter jumper?"
He alluded TO the fact that chandler
was dry goods merchant. But Chandler
was prophet. And just forty years ago
this month he wrestsd from Lewis Cas-
the scat that the veteran had so long hon.
ored In the senate.
1t IL an interesting fact. also. that there
Is another noted family alliance of the
Chambers and Hates of New England.
As Senator Haze IS son-in-iaw of the
late Zach Chandler. SO Is the present Sem
ator Chandler the son-in-law OF the ia
nous John r. Hale.

SWEETNESS AND LIGHT.

A contemporary says that sclehtis'
has Just discovered that light may DC
procured from sugar. He has succeedeu
in taking several photographs by light
supplied by sugar alone.
We dislike to appear as an iconociasl'
but II would seem that our scientist Is
behind the times. Evidently he IS not
newspaper reader, or he would not claim
that his discovery is real discovery
1t is current intelligence that on TWO
notable occasions United States senators
and some of their especial friends de-
rived very profitable light from sugar
Indeed. the light developed on these
occasions was much more powerful than
that developed by the scientist. "A dark
room was essential TO the manipulauons
Of both the scientist and the senatorial
coteries-in the one case a laboratory al
iunct and I'm the other subcommittee
room. But while the light the scientist
derived from sugar did not penetrate be-
yond his little plutonian cut-oH' ana MS
photographs had to be taken therein
the Gight the senatorial coteries developed
flashed from the committee-room In
washington to Wall street, and photo
graphed important tips on the minds oil
certain brokers.
Aside from this, however, the general
publlc have been receiving a very broad
light from sugar-a light that brings out
in most intense colors the conspiracy be-
tween the Republican party and the
trusts and monopolies.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-06-03

We learn from the Louisville Dispatch
that the General Assembly of Kentucky
has proposed the following amendment
TO the Constitution of that State;
."rhe General Assembly may, by gene
raj laws, provide for taxation by
municipalities of property other than
lands and improvements thereon, based
ON income. license, or franchise, which
may he either in addition TO or in lieu
of ad valorem taxes thereon.
The proposed amendment is to be
submitted to the. voters of Kentucky
at the next November election. If 1t
should be adopted, it would vest in the
Legislature the power TO amend the
charters Of the various towns and cities
of the State, so that they could adopt
either the ad valorem system of taxa
ton alone, or conformity with taxes on
licenses. incomes, and franchises In
raising revenue for municipal purposes.
The Dispatch says 1t will not affect
| the rights of the State and the counties
TO levy and collect taxes under the
| present ad Valorem system, but 1t Will
give the cities and towns of the state
| the right in taxing themselves for purely
municipal purposes 10 assess the NUM-
| cipal taxes on the ad valorem principle,
| or substitute for it q tax on incomes,
| licenses, etc. in the judgment OF the
! local authorities.
