THE INCOME OF PROPERTY
Must Be Considered in Making
 Assessments,
so HOLDS JUSTICE BREWER
In Decision, Which Back Tax Collector Bad ham Thinks Has Some Bearing
 on His Cases.

Back Tax Collector Henry L.. Badham is jubilant over a recent decision of Jus tice Brewer of the United States su- preme court, involving the taxable value of property.
 He says the decision has direct bear ing on the cases which he has insti- tuted against persons and corporations, which are now pending in the circuit court and have been set for trial Dec. 6.
 The suits were instituted for the pur- pose of collecting taxes on an amount based upon the earning capacity and the excess of the assessed value as given to the county tax assessor.
 The text of Justice Brewers opinion, which was delivered in denying a rehear- ing of the Ohio and Indiana Express tax cases. regarding the taxation of corror- ate property of an intangible kind, is as follows:
 THE OPINION.
 'Tt is a cardinal rule, which should not be forgotten, that whatever property is HoIeH loT tue purpose or income ana sale, it Is also tn for purposes of taxation. In the city of New York are located the headquarteas of corpora tion whose corpora te property is confesaedly of the value of $16, GOO, 900, value which can be realized by it's s,ockhol lders at any moment they sse fit. Its tangible property and it's business are scattered through many states, all of whose pow CTS are invoked to protect it's prop -rty from tres spass, and secure it in the reace- ful transaction of it's widely dispersed business. Yet because that tangible property is only s4,O00,000, we are told that this is the limit of the taxing power of these states. In other words, it asks these states to protect property which to it is of the value of $16000 000, but is willing to pay taxes only on the basis of valuation of $4000 900. The injus- tice of this speaks for itself.
 .Tn conclusion, let us say that this Is eminently a practical age; that cour.s must recognize thi gs as they are, ani as possessing a value which is accorded to them in the markets of the world, and that no fine-spun theories about si us should interfere to enable these large corporations, whose business of necessity is carried on through, many states, to escape from bearing in each state sush burden of taxa ton as fair <istribution of the actual value of their property among those states requires"

The London Raspberry.

On February 9Th had the pleasure
OF visiting the venerable horticulturist,
F.. w. Loudon at his home near James
vile, Wis. and looked over his field
of Loudon raspberries. They have
stood the severe cold weather and seem
to be alive to the very tip. This new
Seeding red raspberry seems destined
to become the best Of all red raspber-
ries for general cultivation, as it Is
proving exceptionally hardy every
where and in quality and productive
ness has no equal. Mr.. Loudon has
spent years in growing new seedlings
of Strawberries and raspberries. The
Jessie strawberry, which has nation
al reputation, Is one of his many seed
Iings. His new raspberry will without
doubt make the name of Loudon a
household word all over the country for
generations to come. No new berry
that has yet been produced seems to be
such an advance over its predecessors
as this seems to be over all the vari-
cites now in cultivation. 1t is through
the efforts of such men as Mr.. Lou
don, whose whole soul is wrapped up
in horticultural work, that we can ex-
pect to see our fruits and vegetables
keep pace with the onward march of
progress that is going on throughout
the world. L. H. Read.

as are reared by him for food and Ia
bcr. For these reasons, If for no 9TH
ers, the principles of agricultural sci
ence should be taught in all schools
and colleges, as well as any other Of
the sciences or arts. First see that
knowledge OF the principles is &C
CURED, and their application later will
become not only pleasant, but profita-
Bile. No occupation is better calculated
to call forth the learning of the man
OF science than that of agriculture, and
none in which man can engage with
more honor or to which more honor
should be attached Good farming Is
the handspring Of national progress.
The farmer who calls to his aid the
light Of modern science and doubles his
crop per acre is justly entitled to more
praise than he who builds cities. When
the first general assembly of the agri-
culturists of France was held its first
president, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, in his
opening address, said: Agriculture Is
the noblest of professions: stable as
the earth which is its base, pure as
the sun which enlightens, free as the
air which gives it life; it ripens reason,
fortifies the character and elevates the
soul toward the Creator by the con-
tinual spectacle of the miracles OF crea-
ton. Agriculture is seated upon the
granite upon which the state reposes.
All honor, then, 10 agriculture as a
science, as an art, and as the mainstay
OF the nation.

The remains were dressed in the uni

csc navy. The casket was draped with
an American flag.
A letter written to DR.. Gracme Ham

himself in the Post Graduate hospital,

Export of American Corn.

Newton b. Ashby, United States con-
sui at Dublin, Ireland, some time ago
sent to the State Department in
Washington, for the consideration OF
the Department OF Agriculture, some
data and suggestions relating TO the
use of American maize, or Indian corn,
in foreign countries. MIR. Ashby said:
The difficulties in the way OF the
American maize are twofold; in the
first place, maize, or Indian corn, is
not as widely used by Europeans for
feeding purposes as its value in the
feed ration, considered in reference TO
comparative cost, merits. In the sec
ond place, our maize comes in COM
petition with Danubian and Black Sea
maize
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat adds.
Figures were presented showing that
in 1894 the port of Dublin received by
direct import nearly 100000 hun
dredweight of maize, Of which only 61s
per cent was from the United States.
although the maize from the Ameri-
can corn belt is generally acknowledg-
ed to be Of better feeding value, pound
for pound, than the Asiatic and Eur
opean varieties. Mr.. Ashby suggested
that the difficulties Of competition
might be overcome by American mill
ers in large degree by preparing for
foreign export a ration composed OF
mixture OF maize, oats, oil-cake and
wheat. The British and Irish farmers,
feeders and dairymen are more famil-
lar with feeding stutfs in the form OF
cakes than by any other method.

He Turned on the Gas.

Mrs. Pickett, the widow OF Gen.
Pickett, hero of the desperate rebel
charge at Gettysburg, relates an anec-
dote Of an old nanny whom she dis
covered at Fredericksburg and who
Veritably believes that she was Wash
ington's first nurse, says the New York
Mail and Express. Here Is her story:
she was an old woman in a linsey-
woolsey petticoat and bright turban.
and we found her in one of our jaunts
around the city, and took kodak
picture of her. One of the company
asked her in fun if she remembered
Washington-you see, she was very
old.

answered glibly.
" Perhaps you were one of his

interest.
" 'Ise don know nothin' bout no
cherry tree, missy, but / members

" Did he tell her he turned it on,

But. nanny, there wasn't any gas
in those days
Yes, dere was, honey, l members

We decided that old nanny had
been the servant of some George Wash
ingtOn, but not our own immortal
George, and we left her to enjoy her
peculiar delusion undisturbed.

He Was Responsible for the silver.

In one of the most splendid Of the

at the public table, had his meals
served in his own parlor, with all the

the conduct OF the servant who waited
OH him, he desired him, one day at din

took his stand directly behind the gem
