Oh, sturdy banks Of mud!
That twixt US and the flood,
Protection fling!
That bid the raging mass,
Fresh from its last crevasse;
Hold! Here thou can'st not pass"
TO thee l sing.
Past thine embankments now.
On many a darkened brow.
Care holds its throne;
There. many kneecap bends,
There, many a prayer ascends,
There. many heart depends
On thee alone.
Think Of the ruined homes
II once that water roams
Our lands abovel
Think Of the years OF toll
Spent on our fruitful soil.
That tyrant would despoil
Our people Of.
Think OF the precious lives
or children. mothers. wives.
That look TO thee
To save them from the doom
Foretold them by the boom
OF floods that at thee fume
So angrily.
Think of all these. and let
Not one small ripple get
Thy bulwarks through!
In this. our darkened hour,
When would that tyrant power
Our cherished State devour.

TAXING PERSONAL PROPERTY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir II was pleasing 70 the writer 10 notice that
nj last there seems be effort TO cause per
sonal property TO bear its rigLtful part In the
scheme OF taxation. Justice Keogh Of tho Supreme
Court in a statement 10 the press to-day says he
has given directions to the assessors TO assess all
the personally Of every man this year, and adds
that they will do So Further, that afiidayiis
swearing off the tax will not be received and no
taxes will revoked unless the assessors nave IN
trinsc evidence that the Opponents have no such
property.
TO some this may seem drastic method Of pro-
cedure. But any way which can be found to ac-
complish the result aimed at ana to cqualizc TAXA
tion is worthy OF trial Why should real estate
bear the burdens Of the day There exists more
portable than fixed property. The income from
personally Is az large The average as from
realty Should they not. then be taxed on The same
basis?

these times OF Increased taxation and decreased In

acme OF purple felicity 10 all but the truly good.

owner TO do with II, any more than the domicie
OF the realty owner? Both should be taxed where
found for the benefits each derives from the COM
munity. Why should one continue hsh, the other

owned follows: $500 packages Atlantic mills;
$500 packages, Appleton mills 100 packages, Pea

These mills auctioncd their overstock of nearly
twenty thousand packages Of drygoods. which. with
