There Is entire lack OF uniformity OF

businesses in the State, due In some
degree. no doubt, TO the difference in
their character, though sometimes IL
seems inexplioabls on that ground, The
railroads are taxed by the State on their
gross receipts, which is practically tax
on income. Their buildings are also taxa
bla by the cities and towns In which they
are located. Water companies are taxed
by the cities and towns like most other
property. Telephonssand telegraph COM
panies are taxed by the State two and q
half per cent on the value OF their lines,
including poles, wires, insulators and all
other paraphernalia OF the business. Their
receipts are not taxed, as is the case with
railroad companies, The express business
Is taxed one and one half per cens on the
gIozs Ieosipts of the business done in
the State, including pro rata on all
business coming from other states or
countries, or going to other states and
countries. Their real estate Is taxable in
the cities and towns where 1t IL located,
but the amount paid on this account is to
bs deducted from the State tax. Insur-

The House referred the Olmstead reeo-
luton to make inquiry into the represen-
tation of the Southern States to the CEN
sus committee. This is practically a VIC
tory for the opposition to making the in
quiry called for by the resolution, and
confirms the opinion that has been gener-
ally entertained that the Republican lead
ers were not disposed to enforce the four
tsenth amend ment against the states that
had disfranchised their colored citizens.
The meaning of the action OF the House
Is that the South will have rs large rep
ressntation under the new apportionment

up sectional feeling explains the Houses
