WHOLESALE ROBBERY.

Judge Moer in his decision
rendered last Saturday in the
matter of taxes delinquent on
real estate for the year 1895,
among other things declares:
"That the various assessors
and other tax officials of the
county deliberately, intention
ally and wilfully assessed a
large number of the mining
properties, in the year 1894, at
an amount far below their
actual and known value and
the sum of which they would
have sold at a voluntary sale,
and that no change was made
in their valuations for the year
1895;
THAT the aggregate assessed
valuation of these mineral
properties for 1904 was 1884,
O51, while their true and full
value, in money, was So, 100000.
This is evidence of official
corruption without a parallel
in the whole Northwest. We
have heard of corporations es-
Gaping with the payment of a
half, or a quarter, and even
tenth of their rightful share Of
taxes, but in this case the
county only got 2 per cent of
dues. The next question is,
what are the people going to
do about it?

The Bird.

Little mora than a drift of the air
brought into form by plumes. The
air in all its quilts, it breathes
through its whole frame and flesh
and glows with air in its flying like
blown flame. 1t rests upon the air,
subdues it, surpasses it, outraces it,
and in it's throat is the voice of the
air. AS we may imagine the wild
form of the cloud closed into the
perfect form Of the birds wings, so
the wild voice Of the cloud into its
voice ripping through the clear
heaven in it's gladness, Interpreting
passion through the soft spring
nights, h<l1sting into acclaim and
rapture at daybreak or twittering
and lisping among boughs and
hedges through heat OF day like lit
tie winds that rutf'e the petals of
the wild rose. Also on the plumes
of the bird are put the colors of the
air, the gold Of the cloud that can
not be gathered, the vermilion of
the cloud bar, the flame of the cloud
crest, the snow and the shadow and
the melted blue of the deep wells of
the sky. All these woven into
plumes, following and fading along
breast and throat and opened wings.
And so the spirit Of the air is put
into this created form and becomes
through 20 centuries the symbol of
divine help descending to. bless the
Hebrew cherubi,n, the Greek flying
angel of victory, and the bird has
given it's wings to render the con-
ception of angels and thus has inf1u-

w. c.. Brann, editor of the
Iconoclast, published at Waco,
Texas, has been having a pref
ty serious time of late. He took
occasion, through the columns
of his paper, to tell a few truths
about the mismanagement OF a
Baptist college located in his
adopted city, and incidently to
criticise it's irregularities. The
article "riled" the powers that
guide the destiny of that taber-
nacle of learning; and the fac
ulty and students have taken
the matter into their own
hands and administer such
punishment to Mr.. Brann as
they deem suitable to crafty
their refined ~ tastes as law
abiding citizens. A dozen or
two pious rowdies, whose
wealthy parents are attempt
ing to educate them for the
ministry, called at Mr.. Brann's
residence, invited him to the
door. then dragged him block
or two with a rope around his
neck, beat him and subjected
him to indignities unbecoming
a band of Texas cow punchers.
Not content with this, three
sta1wart instructors of the col
1ege, with more L. L. and D.
DIS attached to their names,
than there are fddlers in pur-
gatory, set upon him in the
public street, in broad day light,
and beat him into insensibility.
Shades of eternal darkness!
What a condition.! What an
example for young men bud
ding into full fledged ministers
of the gospel, and in a country
supposed to be governed by
law. Any low thug or pugna-
cious prize fighter could do no
worse; and these the people
who preach "Peace on earth,
good will to men," Mr.. Brann
said some very ugly things
about the college, and if these
acts indicate the character OF
the people who run the institu-
ton and the students who at
tend it, we, for one, are ready
to believe every word said de-
rogatory to it, and more. Heav-
en- deliver us from such col
leges and it's offspring.

HOW q ROAD Al 11o1&20O w 66 N&Au0s
The way in which the Irish imagi-
nation accounts for the curious notch
in the DEVILS Bit mountain, Upper
ary, is indicated in its very name.
But there are two versions of the
legend. According to one, it is said
that Nickie Ben, just to try how
sharp his teeth were, bit a piece off
the upper edge, but, finding it rather
too hard even for his digestion, he
threw it up at Cashel, in the same
county, where it has remained ever
since. In confirmation Of the story
it is gravely asserted that the rock
of Cashel would exactly fit into the
gap left in the aforesaid mountain.
In Notes and Queries, June /, 1851,
the tale is told as follows: In the
Barnane mountains, near Temple
more, Ireland, there is a large dent
or hollow, visible at the distance of
20 miles and known by the name of
the Devils Bit There is a foolish
tradition that the devil was obliged
by one Of the saints to make road
for his reverence across an extensive
bog in the neighborhood, and 60,
taking a piece Of the mountain in
his mouth, he strobe over the bog
and deposited a road behind him!'

NEW TARIFF MEASURE.
Framers of the Law Expect It to Yield an
 Enormous Revenue.

Enormous Revenue.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The framers of the new tariff law are counting upon an increase of S60, 100000 in the reve- nue above what is yielded by the pres ent law. The exact clements of this increase cannot be determined until the new measure is more nearly com plete than at present, but rough calculation can be made of the sources from which the increase is expected. These may be stated as follows: Sugar, $25, ,O00, ,O0O; wool and woolens, SIS, ,O00,- 900; tobacco, S3,0OO,0O0; agricultural products, $2,OOO,0OO spirits, Sa,0OO, ,OOO; flax, hemp and their manufactures, S4, ,OOO, ,0OO; cotton hosiery and other cot tons, $1 ,OOO, ,OOO; chinaware and glass, $2, ,OOO, 900; miscellaneous items, s, ,OOO,- 900. A deficit of s25,203,245 for the fiscal year 1896 and probab ble deficit of $50, ,OOO, 900 for the fiscal year 1897 would be more than wiped out by an increase of the revenue by the amount of s6O, ,oOO, ,oOO annually. It is probable that the surplus will be much larger by the close of the fiscal year 1899 than these figures would indicate.

For Protection Against Mobs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-A bill to pro- tect the lives and property of persons against mobs was introduced in the house yesterday by Representative Stewart, of Wisconsin. It provides that the city or county in which mob violence results in destruction of prop erty, injury or loss of life shall be liable for damages, and action may be brought against officers of the law for neglect of duty. In case of death a sum not exceeding S5,0OO shall be awarded the relatives of the deceased. When the general government, in the case of foreigner, pays an indemnity it can bring action for recovery against the state in which the person was killed.

CRUSADE AGAINST POVERTY.

The Salvation Army, Under the Personal
 Supervision of Gen. Booth, to Establish
 Social Settlements.
 CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Chicago is to be made the center of vast system of so- cial settlements, similar to that in operation in England, organized and made famous by Gen. Booth, of the Salvation army. Its boundaries are to be the limits of the United States and its object the solution of the national pauper problem. Arrangements have been made whereby Gen. Booth is to come to Chicago and personally direct the inauguration of the movement. He will apply the practical knowledge of such work gleaned in the principal cities of the world to the establishment of system of city colonies, where at least temporary work will be offered every idle man in the city; will place spacious tenement houses under the supervision of the army, and later will extend the movement to form colonies within radius of several hundred miles from the city. Eventually the movement will include the whole coun- try, and will be operated from Chicago.
