Owing to tax lodging, the total
assessment of Chicago is now-incred-
ible as it may seem-42 millions less
than in 1871. Tax lodging is a
crime against the people, and the re-
suit alwaysis that the poor pay more
than their share of taxes-because
the poor do not dodge taxes.

Among the many articles made from
cork waste is the familiar cork grip for
bicycle handles By secret process
the waste is pressed into the required
shape, and, strange to say, the grips thus
made are stronger and more durable
than those manufactured from cork
wood, although the latter gives much
smoother finish. Cork slabs for insulat
ing purposes, life preservers cork soles
and insoles and penholders are also
made from cork waste 1t is very large
ly used for IA filler in the lining of cold
storage and ice houses, since cork is
nonconductor of heat
Another and unique use of cork is
that to which it is put in the interior
ironworb and plates of ironclads and
steamers between the bottom of the YES
sci and the second or false floor in order
to prevent rust. The interior surface of
the ironwork is coated with paint, and
while the latter is still wet it is pow
dered with cork dust in the same way
that wood is sanded to resemble stone.
The waste sometimes takes the place OF
asbestus i'll covering steam pipes Both
cork wood and waste make a very de-
sirable handle or grip for fish poles,
which is comparatively recent idea.
Cork hats and helmets, gill or seine
corks ring buoys and mooring buoys,
cork tenders for vessels and cork caps or
washers for tops of cans represent also
some of the uses of this article.-New

Lewiston Journal-Somerset demo-
Gratis have in some way got the idea into
their heads that the republicans are dis
satisfied with the nominations at this
weeks republican county convention.
State Committeeman w. II. Hunnewell,
DEM. tells me that this is the reason
why at the democrat county convention,
Saturday, July I'd, they have been so
careful to put into the field the strongest
men they could get hold of. Mr.. Hun
newell says that the mill folks of Pitts.
field, are disgrunted at the defeat OF
their man, Alonzo Burse. for the repub-
liean nomination to the senate. Mr..
Iunnewell says all the operatives stand
ready to go for the democratic nominee.
Well hope springs eternal in the demo
cratic breast. | had to inform Mr..
Hunnewell that M. Burse's friends al
the convention moved on behalf of that
gentleman TO make the nomination of
Mr.. Merrill unanimous and promised
their hearty support, feeling of course
that Mr.. Burse is right in line for the
nomination two years from now. There
fore Somerset has no more reason to be
disputed by democratic rumOrs than
has the First Congressional district, over
the candidacy of MI. Mckinney.
