ENGLEWOOD, Aug. 20, 1s97.-Mrs.
Orinda Jane Miller of New York, who
dropped dead in the road yesterday with
in a stones throw of the house where
she expected to visit, claimed to be one of
the direct descendants of King William

her home substantiating this claim. Ac-
ocrding to this record it was in 1919 That
Wolfert Arnant and Amieka Weber
who, it states, were grandchildren of
King William " of Holland, came to
America. From this time numerous
branches of the family spread, but the.
one that concerns Mrs. Miller directly is
that of which Philip Minthorne was the
head.

THE farmers are beginning to realize
tina the pretence of affording them pro-
lection" in the Dingley bill is an impu-
dent fraud. They see that their taxes are
raised by the measure a couple of thou
sand per cent, while they derive no
profit whatever from it. To attain a par
tial rectification of the injustice. they are
going to demand a bounty on exports of
all agricultural products.

can hardly resist the present demand.
The fact Is, carried to it's logical conclu-

citizen for taking the trouble to live.

The Halfway Tax Money.


We eannot help thinking the Board OF
Finance made no mistake in embodying
in the Budget the additional money TO
be received on account of railway taxes
Under the Act of 1897. Assuredly it was
the only course through which there was
any chance of getting the money
IF the sum had not been provided
for IN this way, it should have been
taken out of the taxpayers. If the pro
vision prove illusery, it will have to be
rua,,e good by the taxpayers some other
year, and so far it was very much d
matter Of tweedledum and tweedledee,
whether the estimate was put in or not.
sFsnt If the Board~of Finance. acting on
Mayer Hoos' former suggestion, had not
put the amount in the Budget, we never
would have got a dollar of it from the
State. If we ourselves had assumed that
the money was not due us, why should
the State insist that it was? 1t is non
sense to think of such a thing. Plainly
onr. business was to claim the money, to
go ahead ON the theory thai we We're to
get it beyond the shadow of a doubt, ana
thus place Governor Griggs & Co. IN the
position of robbing the city of its due,
and throwing it into dificulties-if they
dared.
This is the position OF affairs now, and
we believe we will get the money, not,
as Mayor Hoos puts it, as a matter OF
favor. hut as a matter OF right, which we
have had the courage to insist upon.
EVERYTHING that Mayor Hoos has
said regarding the nature of the city Sc
curiries held by the Sinking Fund and
backed by unsolicited taxes is true. 1t is
gell TO remember. however, that if these
bends were not held by the Sinking Fund.
they would be held by the banks.
IN a recent article 1.-The News de-
plored the i~nprobability of the VOORHEES,
Investigating Committee taking up the
snbiect Of tax collections in this city and
Paterson, and showing the public just
where The trouble lay, and how a remedy
might be applied. We regarded such an
investigation as unlikely because it would
hurt Republican officials in both cities.
upon this the Tribune comments
thus
That is an unfortunate way of putting
it. AS a matter of exact fact it makes
no difference in either city what the poii-
tics of the officials may be, as they con-
tinue in the same line as their predeces-
sors. 1t should be possible to find a rem
edy for the evil without dragging politics
into the discussion.
We cannot see that the un~fortunateness
is in the way of putting it. 1t is in the fact,
Senator Foster NJ. Voorhees, and his COM
mittee have been in commission for now
nearly three years. They have been re-
peatedly challenged to look into abuses,
but, except in the one case, where by the
most dishonest methods they were able
to blacken the Democratic party just on
the eve Of a Gubernatorial campaign, they
have never lifted a finger. There are two
fields, here in Hudson, in which they
might do good work. The one is the
Board of F~reehoIders; the other is this
axatIon matter. But politics are in
velved in b~oth,-aId inquiry could not fail
to prove Injurious to the Republican
cause. Therefore. there is little or no
hope that any action will be taken.

LACK OF PATRIOTISM.

The Wadsworth Dispatch says:
The stingy, unpatriotic citizen who
will dodge paying his poll tax for a
lousy s. is not worthy of the right of
suffrage. Hold on Mr. Dispatch
man! Don't you know that there are
hundreds of men in the State of Ne
vada to-day who cannot pay their
poll tax, no matter how patriotic they
are? If you do not know this you
should look about Virginia City. Car
son, and Reno, where you will find
that men with families are living OH
the charity of friends, and that s.
would seem a larger sum to them
could they get it, than, perhaps, $500
would seem to you. There are fami-
lies who live on s. a week in Nevada,
and there are men in our aims houses
Who never see s. from one year S end
to another. Must the be disfran-
Chised because of their inability to
earn a living? And must the man
who gets hold of S. occasionally pay
it out for the privilege Of voting
while his children go hungry? Must
he be dubbed an unpatrlotic coward
who prefers to buy food for a hungry
family than to voteo Then there are
single men who, if they possess S. III
these times of uncertainty of work
hesitate a long time about spending
it for a poll tax when he considers
how many meals it will buy. The
law may be good one for the man III
easy circumstances but it is another
instance of where the man of means
always has the best of the laborer
1t must be recoNec,ed that the law

WOODLAND, May 2S.-The Sheriff's
Arbuckle to-day to arrest William Wal
lace, for whom warrant had been is
sued, sworn to by Auditor Ferrier of
the West Valley Lumber Company,
charging Wallace with embezzlement.
For the past five years Wallace has
been manager at Arbuckle of the West
Valley Lumber Yard. His connection
with the Arbuckle branch ceased a few
weeks ago, when he was transferred to
the Woodland office. An investigation
of Walace's books was then made, dis
closing, it is alleged, a shortage of S2,
OBJ. This amount comprised various
sums, which it is charged Wallace col
lected but failed to account for when
making his settlement with the COM
pany. A demand was made upon Wal
lace for the amount of the alleged
shortage, and c. w. Thomas, attorney
for the company, says Wallace tender
ed 5000 as payment in full, but that
this offer was rejected.
Judge j. G. Bell, his attorney, said
Wallace denied owing the company that
or any other amount; that in writing
he demanded the production of the
books, and that if an investigation of
the accounts disclosed the fact that he
is indebted to the company in any sum,
he is ready to furnish security that
he will insure the company against
loss. Wallace has resided in this city
for many years. and has always borne
a good reputation. He is a married
man
