Mr.. Sbley of Pennsylvania was so well
thought of by silver Democrats in 1896
that he was seriously talked about for the
vice presidential nomination. While the
Chicago convention was in session Mr..
Sibley found it necessary to telegraph his
enthusiastic friends folbidding the pre-
sentation of his name for nomination.
Early in the present Congress Mr.. Sibley
recanted from the Chicago platform on
the money question and voted for the
gold standard bill. Last week he further
emphasized his disagreement with the
Bryan people by joining the Republicans
in the Puerto Rican legislation with his
vote. Before doing SO he stigmatized the
Democratic party on general principles.
He did it in rhymes at the conclusion of a

Another Augusta History.

Capt. Charles E. Nash for several years
III collecting material which in due season
he may utilize for history OF Augusta.
Ii has already ac cumulated large guam
tity of it, arranged conveniently for use,
and the citizens of Augusta are hoping
that he will conc Jude to publish the his
tory as soon as he is able to complete the
collection OF facts and information needed.
No man in the city is better equipped
than he to perform this work, which,
, coming from him, could be depended up
on as reliable, would be well written, and
the arrangements and points covered
would be satisfactory to everyone.
| Capt. Nash is known as one of the best
| informed citizens on matters pertaining
to the early history of the city, and is
thoroughly posted concerning the Indian
tribes which lived in this region when the
white man appeared. He is doing his
pecting to derive any great pecuniary ben
eft Furthermore, he enjoys work of
this character.
| He has collected much information Of a
photographed nature, pertaining to men
and women of the city of literary ability
and who were authors. He states that
| the city has had a surprising number of
residents who We're writers of talent and
/ who wrote extensively. From investiga-
| ton already made he is of the opinion
/ that there is no place in the State which
has had SO many citizens of eminence in
various lines as Augusta, and he thinks
! comparison will demonstrate this.
| Early in the century it vas the custom,
! when any unusual event occurred, for
some rhymster to write d poem on it.
| When Sager was hanged some one pre-
pared numerous verses on the subject,
which were quite noted at the time.
J Capt. Nash knew of this poetry, and
hunted high and low to find copy of it,
but without avail. Fortunately, he found
an old lady who remembered every word
! of it and reduced it. to writing. This was
a some What remarkable feat of memory,
when ii is considered that it was in 1887
when the hanging occurred. He also has
another poem of interest, which was com
posed when Purington killed himself, his
wife and six children. Both of these are
interesting reading to citizen of Augusta

been written, North's history, but several

The Question OF Taxation.

The report of the joint committee of
the Portland city council, which has been
investigating the question of taxation. is
interesting. Real estate, improved and
unimproved, they find valued close up to
its true value and taxed all it will bear.
Visible personal property, such as stocks
of goods, they find also bears it's full
share of public burdens. Bonds and
stocks succeed to a considerable extent in
evading the assessors and the tax gather
ers. But the most glazing cases of prop
city escaping taxation are found, the
committees say, in the electric railroad,
electric lights and telephone companies.
Assuming their conclusions correct, and
that is by no means violent assumption,
what is to be done about it. The first
thing that must be done is to improve the
laws. The next to elect assessors who will
have the courage and independence to
stand up against pressure. The first can
not be done until the Legislature meets
next winter, and, if current report be
true, the Hon. Joseph 81. Manley is to
make up all the committees on the House,
it is not likely to be done very thoroughly
then, for though Mr.. Marley be ever SO
honest and we'll meaning, it is vastly i'm
probable that he can withstand the intlu-
ence and pressure of corporations with
which he has been associated for many
years and in which he is large owner.
AS for assessors, it will help them very
much to stand up against the pressure of
particular interests to make them directly
responsible to the people.
The time will come, no doubt, when
our tax laws will be overhauled and needed
changes made, but reform is not likely to
be achieved under the auspices of the cor
porations themselves or their agents. Nor
is it likely to be accomplished under the
auspices of professional agitators, men
who are constantly shouting about the
dear people. Conscientious and able men
who will act in spirit OF fairness, and
not IN spirit of revenge, who will keep in
mind the fact that corporations have
rights as well as individuals, who will OF
make tax reform simply political cry to
boost themselves into prominence, but at
the same time will have the frmness to
resist the opportunities of powerful inter-
ests, must lie the main reliance for an i'm
provemeut in our tax laws. The public
have reason to diStrust about equally the
corporation and the professional agitator
in this business. Neither of them is like
ly to devise a system of taxation that that
will be fair and equal Portland Press.
