A CHAPTER ON RAILROAD TAXATION.
One of the rankest abuses in Yer
mont@today and one that cries to heaven
afar correction pertainsto railroad taxes.
AS the result, perhaps, of railroad in
fluence or domination of past Legislation
/ in this state, there exists the most iu-
adequate and unfair enactment govern
ing the proportion Of state and local
burdens Of taxation to be borne by the
railroads, that can be found in any state
in the Union.
This practical immunity from taxes is
accomplished under the corporation tax
law which gives the railroads the option
of paying seven.tenths of one per cont
on their assessed valuation or 21-2 per
cent on their gross earnings according
to the railroads own reports and inter-
probation of the, meaning OF "gross. y
Practically all roads elect the latter al
Tentative and this, of course, means that
it is less than the latter tax would.
amount to. This provision for taxes is
altogether Inadequate, and works a
gross injustice upon other interests in
the state whose taxes are thereby in
creased, and should be repealed. The
person in Vermont who pays $l.60 on.
$780, at conservative estimate pays
ten fold what the railroads of the state
contribute on like amount Rutland

Hon. d. j. Foster, who claims to hold

the whole of the situation as well, if any

When we make our yearly statement of sales of machines it is with 8 certain satisfaction at the growth of our business.
 When we place on record that we built and sold 189, ,760 machines in 1898, we are not devoid of appreciation of that enor- nous quantity. We have, however, other sources of satisfaction and other reasons for publishing these figures annually. The aMcCormick machines are modern. It is true the Mccormick was the first that ever burst conqueror into the fields of wheat which up to 1881 waited the master mina of the inventor. It is true we are an old firm-the first and longest in the business. But 1t ia also true that as times and exigencies change the Mo- Cormiek has anticipated every change and led the way for others to follow. Thus each recurring season demonstrat- ing sales exceeding those of the past sea- son is hard and practical endorsement Of our modernity. The Mccormick ma chimes are Modern Masterpieces.

Dear MT Editor: During the last year of my connection with the State Sunday School Association, as it's secretary, visited Hawleyville and had several in terviews with Brother A. B. Fancher and others, with reference to starting Sum day school. The outlook was very dis couraging and nothing was done. To- day, passing through Hawleyville, and having some time to wait for train, called on Brother Fancher and was de. lighted to hear from him of the prosper ous school that is maintained there now and was still more delighted to accept his cordial invitation to visit and inspect the chapel, which has been erected in cor . nection with the work. This chapel is 6 tasteful and commodious building and is & great credit to those through whose combined efforts it was secured. It is also great encouragement to ali who are engaged in Christian work and find difficulties in the pathway. I write these lines because of my continued interest in Hawleyville, and as an expression of my gratitude to God for what has been wrought there. I can see now that I ought to have been mere courageous and persistent in 1896. Yours truly,-[W. H. Hall, President Connecticut Sunday School Association, West Hartford, June 29, 1899.

Do It Yourself.

It is easy to tell whether your Kidneys are diseased. Take bottle or glass tum- bier and fill it with urine. If there is a sediment-a powder-like substance-after standing a day and night, there is some thing wrong with the Kidneys. Other sure signs of disease are desire to urinate often, pain in the back, or if your urine stains linen.
 There is no question that pr David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia and Chronic Con- stipation. It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold urine and the necessity of getting up number of times during the night. It puts an end to that scalding pain when passing urine and corrects the bad effects of whiskey and beer It is sold for one dollar bottle at all drug stores.

Capt Dreytus was ignorant of the fact that new court martial awaited him, and remained in ignorance during the first part of the voyage. When he was finally informed not muscle of his face moved. He merely said: 1T have no ill will toward anybody. shall be glad to re-enter the army, which have pever ceased to love-" It is said he has aged greatly and that he can scarcely talk, having lost the use of the vocal chords through lack of use.

RATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE co. IH TRoU.
 BILE.

Application has been brought to the Superior court for receiver for the Ma tional Life Association of Hartford. Judge Wheeler has ordered hearing. It is said that the troubles of the com- pany began under the presidency of D. $. Fletcher, who was forced to retire about year ago, after an examination Of the company's affairs by Insurance Commissioner Betts. It was found that the statements under affidavit, that had been accepted as true by the directors and the insurance commissioner, were not entirely reliable and many things have been unearthed since Mir Fletcher's 8 retirement which increase the obligations of the company beyond the previous knowledge of the directors. Contracts were in existence with agents and with policy holders which, apparently, only Mir Fletcher and the holders of the con- tracts knew anything about. It is claimed that the company is solvent, but that it's present condition does not war rant it's continuance in business.
