Howe's Moving Pictures.

The only first class moving picture
exhibition in America to-day is that of
Lyman II. Howe, who is the pioneer of
that particularly entertaining and uni
que class of exhibitions. Beyond the
least doubt his show is the finest, best
and most elaborate that time and mon
ey can produce. He leads and others
make weak attempts to follow He has
many imitators, but no equals. His
this seasons exhibition is as far ahead
OF all others as day is Of night. This
statement will be verified by his exhi-
bition, which will appear here at the
opera house, Monday night, May 18th.
Entertainment begins at eight o'clock.

Too Hot for Glass Blowers.

A warm wave struck this section late
Monday afternoon and the men who
went to work at the glass plant on the
four o'clock shift that afternoon found
1t so uncomfortably warm in the plant
that they had to quit work. At six
o'clock there were only one or two men
at work. The men on midnight shift
went to worl1on time and the plant has
been in operation since. The plant
shuts down Saturday for the summer.
During this fire between sixty and sew
enty thousand boxes of glass have been
made at this plant.

defend il. II is. then. supported in silence so
far as any exposition of its probable workings

Some OF the members of the joint comm ttap

taxation, but nobody attempts to give an esti-
mate OF the income of the proposed tax and
prove IN detail lis reaSonableneSs This is the
more strange in view of the elaborate com
mentaTy made on last years bill by its defenders
and their firm insistence on the Justice and
necessity OF provisions which are omitted from
this years bill without explanation or excuse
as if il were thought that the least said about
them the better
The report Of the Joint Committee on Taxa

with absolute silence. Nobody attempts to say
whether or Rot the rev law will in fact do
| away with the general State tax. though it Is
defended as If it would, the strength Of old
estimates for an entirely different bill
We have no doubt that Mr.. Siranahan and
his associates are acting in perfect good faith
and have reasons for the changes they have
made But the arguments in favor of the old
bill do not apply to the new, and the people
who are asked TO accept this mortgage tax are
entitled to know why ii has been changed, why
New York Central, Erie, Manhattan, Metropoli-
tan and the enormous quantity of other corpo-
ration mortgages have been exempted. They
arc entitled 10 know the proportion these exemp-
tions bear TO the mortgages to be taxed, and
what revenue may reasonably be expected from
the bill If the measure will not bear discus
sion In detail il is not fit 10 pass. The discrimi-
nation In favor of corporation mortgages should
be explained if private borrowers, who as Mr..
Stranahan admits, are pay his new tax. are
TO be reconcled to a levy on their loans which
is not imposed upon the borrowings of corpo-
rations The Republican party, which will be
responsible. matter how many Democrats
vote for the bill cannot afford to go il blind.
The Justice of the particular provisions of the
measure must he made clear. the fairness OF
every exemption demonstrated the adequacy Of
the revenue to be derived to abolish general
property taxation for state purposes-the main
justification of this new tax-shown. II is not
enough TO defend small mortgage tax in gem
eral Unless tho particular bill is wise in all its
provisions il is indefpnsible whole, and its
defects should he corrected instead of being
forced through in silence with all their impor-
fpction
