Gov. Pingree has called the legislature
o. Michigan in extra session to con-
slider the question of equal taxation.
IN his special message he recounts
what the state and the various mu-
inequalities have done for the roads
in the way of grants and bounties.
He exp! aims the principles of taxation
and cites Harrison's address on the
subject to show that taxation ought
to be in proportion to ability. He
says the inequality of the system In
Michigan is so great that it is no
longer to be borne. To exempt one
person from taxation is to rob anoth-
err The average taxation OF the state
is given at % cents on the dollar.
He then compares the valuation OF
the railways OF the state as shown in
their reports with the valuation OF
other property returned by the assess
or, and finds that the rates of other
property, the railroads should pay
So, 428,083 in taxes, but they paid
actually but $741, 4O8. They paid
less than one quarter of l per cent on
their own valuation, while the other
property paid 2.8 per cent, or more
than IL times as high a rate. He
calls attention to the rates and
amounts paid by other corporations
showing like, if not equal, disc~epan-
cies, and calls on the legislature to
appoint commission to frame law
which shall require the taxation OF all
these public corporations on the ba-
SIS of their true value as compared
with other property and cause the
taxes so levied to be paid directly to
the state Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.

Sunday, April 18th, the subject at

the Priest the Power to Forgive Sins?

every one come to hear it. No offense
to any one. At 7:3O P. NJ. GOD is in

Even the Star and Times cannot
swallow all the machine made
laws forced upon the people of this
state during the last session of the
legislature. 1t says editorially:
"a wise, simple and carefully guarded
caucus law is q prime necessity in
Wisconsin. The one passed by the
last legislature is a squint in the
right direction, bnt it is SO vague and
bungling as to be practically of very
little account.

The President in his message to
Congress yesterday recommends
armed intervention to stop the war.
His message is a disappointment to
the American people who think Cuba
should be free. Congress will no
doubt be whipped into line and in
dorse the message. This will end all
the war scare, and Cuba be forced
back under Spanish rule in a limited
degree.

There Is one virtue in the revenue
bill, says Harper's Weekly, and that
is, as has been pointed out by a writer
on financial questions, that taxes will
be brought home directly to those who
pay them. We doubt II the price of
beer will be any higher to the con-
sumer on account of the increased tax,
but probably the quantity of beer In a
glass will be smaller. The price Of
tea also will be increased, and every
time a citizen draws check or takes
a receipt or executes a conveyance OF
mortgage his attention will be called
to the fact that he is helping to sup
port the government. These taxes
are annoying, OF course, but they are
necessary, and under the present con-
ditions they will be cheerfully borne'
But all taxes, at all times, ought 10
be thus brought home to the taxpayer
iu other words the taxpayer ought al
ways to know just what tho govern.
ment is a,ting of him. Then he will
he in a position to criticise tax bills
iutelligently, aud his representatives
will be careful how they lay imposts
upon him.

CAMPHOR PILL FOR FOWLS.
Country Gentleman.

Country Gentleman.
The camphor pill, recommended in
the poultry columns Of the Country
Gentleman, was given a successful
trial at my place last spring. A hen
was nearly ready to hatch sitting OF
eggs, when found her off the nest
standing beneath the roosts violently
sick. Her head hung directly between
her legs. and ! had little hope Of her
recovery. A wad of dough was speed
lily made with camphor and flour, and
administered to the hen. Within
twelve hours there was signs of i'm
provemeEt, and in less than two days
she could eat little. Her recovery
was gradual, but certain, and for some
time she has been laying hen. A
friend had a small chicken taken sick,
and it was likewise cured by the same
remedy, which evidently is good for a
variety OF ailments, but for a crop
bound fowl, it must yield to the knife.

BROWN1NG'S LOVE STORY.
HIS DEVOTION READS LIKE A TALE
FROM FICTION.

wherever Mrs. Browning trod,
whatever she touched, became en-
dowed with the sacredness of her
presence" writes Clifford Howard,
Rhet and Elizabeth Barrett Brown
ing, In the June Ladies' Home
Journal.n when Mr.. -Rrowning
returned with her on a visit to Eng
land, after an absence Of several years.
he repaired to the little church in
which they had been married, and
there, at the entrance, he reverently
kneeled and kissed the paving stones
upon which she, the light Of his being,
had stepped. And In after years,
when the light had gone from his life,
he sought this sacred spot on the 18th
OF each September, and in the dusk of
the evening shadows passers-by might
have seen a whte-haired man kneel-
ing for moment as If in prayer before
the doorway of the dark and silent
church. Yet little would they have
thought to recognize in this man the
poet Browning, he whose mystical
writings had led the world to regard
him as man of austere nature.
"Not once in all the years of their
married life was Browning absent
from his wife single day. At home
or on their occasional journeys he was
ever with her ready to protect her aud
to wait upon her. Often i'll and un-
able to leave her room he nursed her
with the tenderness OF a woman,
cheering her in her convalescence with
stories and songs, or reading to hel
for hours at time, as he oft had done
in the days before .heir marriage. Il
was in his touching thOughtfulness-
in his little acts of loving and un
solicited attention-that his love fol
her was most truly shown.
"Ofttimes would he rise early in thu
morning, long ere the time for hel
awakening, and fastening forth into
the garden or the fields, gather {
bunch Of fragrant blossoms to place al
her bedside. that they might be the
first realities OF life to greet her with
their sunshine and with their tender
message of love upon her return from
the world of dreams. His every
thought, his every care, was of her, to
add to the joy or the comfort OF hel
life. and many were the means devised
for the accomplishment of his loving
purpose.

still. His mother added: "Graham,

lFor the Der. .ocrat-Star,
(. IDEALS.

The closing century marks bril-
liant era in the history OF our nation.
This is time of wonderful possibili-
ties and lofty ideals. The greatest
forces in the world are not armies,
not riches, but the blending Of moral
and spiritual forces. If we would at
tain the highest good we must have a
lofty ideal and a holy enthusiasm, con-
secrated to the service Of God and hu-
manlty Life is an education and a
probation, and times, like these, test
and prove each individual character.
If we are true to our ideals as we
journey through life we will be fitted
for its stern duties and hard battles,
and there will be no lack OF her0sm,
courage and patriotism. Environment
and inheritance have much to do with
character, but Gods grace can en0ble
His true soldiers to surmount all evil
influences. God is the God OF all ma
tions, but He does not change the
world by destroying the warning forces
Of society and human nature, but by
transforming them and making them
subservent to His will, TO the carry
ing out of His mighty purposes. Well,
for each individual soldier, if he is in
harmony with his great Leader for
whether he will or no, he is but an
instrument to be used for the attain
ment of these eternal ends. Tennyson
has said:
Mighty hopes make us men"
A moral devotion to a great cause
gives strength almost unconquerable.
Crowns, possibilities, ideals and eter-
mites lie before us, shall we claim
them, or shall we sit In darkness and
mourn our wasted lives?
Fear not to build thine eyre in the heights,
Bright with celestial day,
And thrust thyself unto thine inmost soul
In simple faith, alway;
And God shall make divinely real
The highest forms of thine ideal"

Speaking Of the proposed return Of
the captured Confederate flags, the
Lynchburg Wa. Advocate says: 1.-THE
proposition is gratifying to US, as
maniiesting the advent Of an era of
good feeling and the obllteration OF
sectional animosities engendered by q
war that ended thirty-three years ago.
Otherwise, we care nothing about II.
Why should anybody In the South
care to recover the flags9 II theii
possession gives pleasure to our North
ern friends, so far as we are c0ncc-r
