SHALL WOMEN PAY TAXES7

n PROPOSITION is before the Illinois Legisa- / \ ture to exempt from taxation all property owned by women until woman suffrage IS se- cured by an amendment to the constitution. It is put forward by the suragists in the expectation that ii it pass their prayer for the ballot will be speedily granted A powerful movement is already behind 1t and an outsider easily wish that 1t may become the law for the sake of the instruction that would be in the subsequent It IS shown that in Chicago alone there ten of millions Of dollars iii property standing in the names of women, and it is estimated that in the whole State such ownership of property is so large that the exemption will greatly reduce the amount derived from taxation and will make 1t ne cessary to largely increase the assessment and levy upon all property that is in male ownership. It is expected of course that under this spur the of the State will be positively tumutuous for woman suffrage.
 We leave out of the question whether exemption of property not by its use but by its ownership, will stand the judicial test for prefer to consider the movement as intended by its advocates, to advance the cause of woman suffrage.
 Is it true that it will incline all men to that cause?
 Obviously it will not Experience proves that where there is exemption of property from taxa
 on based its ownership, the tendency is for prop erty to flow to the point Of exemption. Ii church and ecclesiastical property is exempt the church and 
 quiston of property until its accumulation in their ownership becomes to the State They accumulate because exemption from taxation enables them to pay higher price than buyers whose own ershp is without such advantage. Therefore in Hi nois the exempt class would finally absorb all the property. Not only has sister specula- ton in her eyes, but our brother man would imme- datey proceed to confer his estate upon her in a trust partnership profitable to both and he would never vote for woman suffrage because it would de- stroy the profits of the trust. Nor would our wise sister woman care for the shadow of suffrage when she enjoyed the substance of ownership exempt from taxation Therefore, instead of step toward suffrage this exemption would set against it the impossible barrier of self-interest and the pride and profit of possessions The State would find itself impoverished by holding on and at the time be unable to let go for men, being exempted by the new law, which enabled them to tie all property to the family apron string would refuse to for its repeal The State would be driven to support itself by occupation taxes
 licenses excises and those means of revenue which arise in the use of property and not in its ownership
 This Illinois experiment is original and interest ing that those who not to be affected by should desire tried for the sake of the lesson that is in it.

a great ending.
 A dog was sitting on the sidewalk In front of the Lick, when a cigar butt thrown from one of the windows Of the hotel fell, striking him on the head He started up with a mad yelp of alright and ran full tilt into the legs of a stout old gentleman who was coming hurried ly along, upsetting him completely. The old gentleman used violent language and picking himself up grabbed a small boy, who was standing by laughing ot his discomfiture and proceeded to box his ears while reading him lecture on the respect due from youth to age. Two express wagons stopped to see the fun and when it was over and they started to drive away their wheels became en- tangled The drivers, after abusing each other like a couple of drunken pirates, climbed down off their wagons, in re- sponse to mutual invitations, and a rough and tumble was soon in full swing. An immense crowd gathered, two policemen appeared on the scene and took charge of the belligerent drivers. while a wo- man. who got mixed up in the crowd citement. was taken into a neighboring drug store and treated for hysteria.
 The dog was the only one connected with the whole performance which did not suffer in some way or other. He dis appeared at the inception of the trou- ble and was not seen again until every thing had Quieted down, when he was noticed standing on the corner and quiet ly smiling to himself as If he had some good joke that was all his own.

THE SECRET OF THE WATERS.

Dead, down there in that tepid sea Where the sharks hold high their revelry Some sailors have found sailors grave Beneath the turmoil of wind and wave Away from the battle of free and slave. Dead, and their ship is their winding sheet, Its folds of iron around them meet And hold them close in cold embrace, That the hungry sharks may not displace. Dead are they, and the great white ship Has gone with them on their final trip; Together they rest down in the deep An. mel will the waters the secret keep Which clasps in its hand the sunken Maine And Cubas to-morrow, and the fate of Spain

AN ANECDoTE OF LINcoLN.--At one
period during the rebellion there
were no less than seventy-four Ma
jor Generals and 276 Brigadiers on
the rolls, which was far more than
there was any use for. President
Lincoln recognized this mistake be-
fore any one else, but he consoled
himself by joking about it. 1t is
recalled that on one occasion, when
one of these superfuous Generals
was captured by the enemy, with a
number of men and horses, some
body undertook to condole with the
President on the subject, remarkirg
that the loss Of the captured Gen.
erals service was a great misior-
tune to the Government.
"Pooh!" replied Lincoln, ats
the horses I'm thinking about. /
can make another Brigadier Gen.
eral in two minutes, but horses are
scarce and cost 5000 apiece.-Ksn-
