A Law to Increase the state. Revenue.

One of the governors first official
acts after recovering as much as posi-
BILE from the effects of the long legisla-
tive siege and its accompanying wor-
ries, was to sign House bill No. 25O. the
revenue bill introduced by Messrs. Bal
lenger and Hollenbeck Jointly. which
creates state board of assessors and
which occasioned one of the principal
fights of the senate's forty-hour ses-
sion.
One of the terms of the compromise
by which the final passage of the bill
through the senate was secured was
the removal of its emergency clause
The friends of the measure persistent
ly refused TO accept this alteration un-
til they forcsaw defeat of the measure,
when they withdrew their objections
and voted to strike it out. On account
of that action on the part of the senate
the efficacy of the law is reduced.
With the emergency clause it would
have gone into effect to-day. and pos
Sibly would have caused an increase in
Colorado's revenue for 1899. Without
that important clause the law does not
become effective until at the expiration
of ninety days-too late TO influence
the states income for this year.
The purpose of the bill indirectly is
to increase the valuations placed on
county property by the different coun-
ty assessors. By its provisions the
state board of assessors is to be com
posed of all county assessors of the
state and the state board Of cqualiZa-
ton, who are TO act in conjunction, in
placing valuations upon the taxable
property of the counties. The board is
to assemble on the first Monday in
April of each year. and to remain in
session not more than ten days. and
without drawing extra pay for such
meetings. The duties of the board are
to 90 over the tax rolls of every coun-
ty with a view to placing a just and
impartial valuation upon all property,
and making the valuations of the vari-

The nondescript tongue known as
"pidgin- English" is almost the only
medium of communication between
foreigners and the Chinese, and nine
tenths of the enormous business done
in China between the English, German
and Americans and the Chinese is done
through this grotesque gibberish. Mr..

show how absurd it is. A young for

School for Women in China.

The first school ever established for
the education of the higher caste of
Chinese women recently celebrated its
first anniversary at Shanghai and may
now be considered permanent insti-
tuition and a complete success. This
school owes its origin to two young
Chinese ladies who We're educated in
medicine at Michigan University and
returned to their homes inspired with
a purpose and determination to break
down the barriers that kept their
sisters in ignorance and seclusion.

Miss Rella C. Harber OF Trenton
Mo-. secretary of the Interstate Good
Roads ond Public Improvement Asso-
citation, appeared in Springfield, Ill,
last week to inaugurate movement
for the organization of the state in the
Interests of hard roads. 1t is proposed
to hold a state convention in Illinois
early in the summer, and plans will
then be made for the organization of
every county in the state. There is at
present hard-roads association in Illi-
nois. and it is not proposed to organize
a rival association, but to make the
existing one perhaps the nucleus for a
great organization. The object of Miss
Harber's visit to Springfield at this
time is to interest Gov. Tanner and
the members of the legislature in the
project. Lists of questions are to be
sent out over the state with a view to
securing reliable information as to the
condition of the country roads and the
amount annually expended upon them.
1t is proposed to institute such a sys-
'tem of agitation that the question of
hard reads will soon become local
political issue.

The suggestion that oysters might
ne cultivated at the mouths of streams
emptying into the Great Salt Lake has
led to a careful examination by DIR. II.
f. Moore of the United States fish
commission. The lake itself is too salt
for oysters, but it was thought that in
bavs and arms, where fresh water en-
ters, the salinity might be reduced 10

Perhaps no kind of superiority is
more fiattering or alluring than that
which is conferred by the powers oi
conversation, by extemporaneous
sprightliness of fancy, copiousness OF
language, and fertility of sentiment. In
other exertions of genius, the greater
part of the praise is unknown and un-
enjoyed. The writer, indeed. spreads
mis- reputation to wider extent, but
receives little pleasure or advantage
from the diffusion of his name, and
only obtains kind of nominal SOW
ereignty over regions which pay no
tribute. The colloquial wit has always
his own radiance reflected on himself
and enjoys all the pleasure which he
bestows; he finds his power confessed
by every one that approaches him, sees
friendship kindling with rapture and
attention swelling into praise.

Present Population of the United States.
Some of our thoughtful statisticians
are predicting that there will be great
disappointment when the population
of the United States is announced at
the close of the next census. 1t will be
remembered that there was great sur
prise when the returns of the census of
1890 came In and gave us only 62-
100000 instead of the 7OOOO,OOO we
had claimed. 1t is believed that the
census of 1900 will show a little less
than 100000.
