Opposition to Two-Cent hin.

A. score or more of the general passenger
agents of the roads doing business in Ohio
have been in Columbus for several days
fighting the bill to make cents a mile the
rate all roads in Ohio. E.. A. Ford is
one OF the most prominent of the opponents
of the bill, he being general passenger agent
of larger mileage of road in that State
than any other of the systems In his adj
dress on Friday before the committee of the
Legislature, he emphasized the fact that
but few big roads are on a paying basis,
and that a reduction in rates would put
back Improvements and result in detriment
to the general public. AS the head of the
Pennsylvania lines passenger department,
he has had an opportunity to study care
fully the local and general situation, and
those who know him best will be the fore
most in making the CANDID adms. On that
he is an honest man, Notwithstanding the
fact that he works for one of the largest
and most important railroad systems in the
United States He calls attention to the
fact that but few trunk lines are in posi-
ton to favor any reduction in the mileage
rates, and his arguments are convincing
and in their nature rational

souri,, Kansas & Texas Railways from put
ting into effect the notices they served on
the Lone Star line, as result of the New
York conference, that they would, after
Feb. Is, cancel all divisions with the Lone
Star line and accept no freight from it with
out the prepayment of all charges. The
news came in the following telegram from
NJ. &. McLemor, attorney for the Lone Star
line, from Jefferson, Tex, TO Daniel Ripley,

conference of chairmer and passenger
agents of the passenger associations of the

make application for reduced rates to New

the movement of reduced rates to New

Western roads by the New York Merchants

roads referred the matter of rates to the

Nor for their glances fond and true.
Which offtimes meet mine,
And tell with loves own tenderness
The tale OF her life's sweet gentlenesa
That I love my valentine.
'Tis not for the sunshine of her face.
Nor the happy look her smile can plaza
Upon the pretty lips
Each time they speak, in tones so clear.
A word Of welcome sweet to hear.

TRIPLE TAXATION.
Result Growing Out of Differing
State Laws.
New York Indenendent

NEW IOIk
BY common consent double taxation is in
equitable; what shall be said then, of triple
taxation? Mr.. David A Wells than whom
no man living has a better understanding
of the problem of taxation shows in a re-
cent number of the Popular Science Month
ly some of the disadvantages of our vary
ing State systems His illustration applies
to the State Of Massachusetts,, popularity
supposed to have looked as deeply into the
equities of taxation as any State in the
Union. We give it in his own words:
"A lady of Western State. for the sake
advantages, removed to a town in Massa-
chusetts, near Boston, and benefited the
town by building a fine residence therein.
Her property which was held by a trustee
in Indiana, was taxed to him by reason of
his legal holding in that State. The prop
erty itself, mainly in another State, was
taxed there, and properly, by reason of its
location; but at the end of her first year
residence the lady was Mortified to learn
that a third tax on her income was demand
sets. And this the person communicate
ing these facts adds, win, If enforced, be
decree OF my personal Punishment from the
State as effectual as that which the State
and the Quakers.' Can any one doubt that
human nature. as ordinarily constituted,
will protest against and successfully evade
such laws2 Would ii not be well in discuss
ing tais subject to mention also that ii was
a question of taxation that gave liberty to
ciple that the people of Boston and their
ministers once mainly relied upon to JUS
tify their destruction of imported tea, which
they regarded as unjustly taxed by even
small amount was that resistance to
tyranny was obedience to God?' +"
1t is evident that TO avoid such grievances
II is necessary that there be a common IN
derstanding between the States.

Chicago Post. .
The decease Of Mr.. Mengel at Spring
field yesterd would not concern us We're
it not for q few words at parting IN the
county Jail. Just before Mr. Mengel took
his place on the elevated platform prepared
for his exit he said farewell to the conVicts
who have been his associates ana called out
cheerly: Il will met you all In heaven.
Mr.. Mengel spoke with a degree OF asSur-
ance that we think Is hardly justified by the
facts indicated. He might nave said:
Il hope to meet yoi all in heaven, or 4
will endeavor to r 4 you IN heaven, or
even Il will meet a few OF you In heaven,
but TO assert that this precious assortment
of rugues and thugs and cutthroatS would
get together in heaven is little too much
for our orthodox faith and We feel our feet
slipping OF the rock. Mr.. Mengels spiritual
advisers worked him up to too great pitch
Of religious enthusiasm and thereby caused
him TO make a break that we must deplore.
While we dislike 10 peer into the future, or
to assert what we shall do under changed
conditions. 1t is our impression that If we
are eventually permitted to walk the golden
streets, and if during the stroll we see Men
gel and his crowd approaching we shall feel
very solicitous about cur crowns. II heaven
is to be filled with persons of the Mengel
variety we fancy that worthy citizens here
below VIII adopt the methods advocated by
the man whose mother-in-law told him she
was going to heaven, and give up thelr
news In church.

tearing down the old building on the Della
ware street and Virginia avenue point to
make room for a modern four-story build

grocery house. Later it was known as the

The second story OF the building became

The local packing houses are in the height
of prosperity, killing more hogs and cattle
than in any winter packing season in their
history. The packers have made large sums
of money in buying pork the last sixty
days. The price in that time has advanced
nearly 81 per barrel and is now almost
double the price during the depressed time
of 1893 Lard has advanced and packers are
experiencing the best trade in meats in
a long time, and foreign markets continue
to send in large orders.
