and Fell Between Cars.

years old, living in Norwood fell between
a cut of cars yesterday afternoon on the
Belt railroad. near Prospect street, and
suffered the crushing of his left hand. The
boy was in hurry to get to Washington
street, and thought of riding on the train,
which was just pulling out. He was told
by the trainmen to not get on, but the boy
persisted. In trying to get hold on a bar
he fell between the cars. He had pres
ence of mind enough to pull his body out,
but could not get his left arm out of
harms way. He was sent by DR.. Lowry,
of the City Dispensary, to ST. Vincent's
Hospital, where DIR. John H. Oliver ampu-
tated the hand. The little fellow displayed
great nerve during the ordeal, and said that
when he fell he began praying. He said
he prayed earnestly during the operation.

Up Indiana-Avenue Lettering.

work. and they told him they would not
work. They seemed to have no income,

THE UNJUST DOG TAX.

The time for the collection of dog taxes has come and the vail of inapounded eanines will soen be heard. Mingled with these will be the mprccatons of the unlucky owners of the luckless cannes.
 We want to say word in behalf of both. We do not hesitate to declare that the system of taxing dogs practiced in Alaska, is little short Of iniquitous It is manifestly just in all its notifications This is country where the dog, largely speaking, takes the place of the horse. He is essentially the mushers friend. oftentimes his support; he is the beast of burden in very many eases that enables the poor miner prospector to take his supplies to his claim. man may own few dogs when'it is impossible for hm to own few horses or mules because of the cost of keeping them. It would bc just as equitable to levy separate tax upon each horse, mule, or reindeer in this country Yet these beasts of burden escape tax while the poor musher, whose only cap ital it may be is his stout heart and limtable age and few faithful dogs, must annually hie him. self to the collector of dog taxes pay two dollars

WORK FOR A DELEGATE.

So long present system of taxation is fol-
 lowed taxes will be unequal that is they will bear more hardly upon one class of people than upon an otiier The poor man is always sure to bear more than his fair proportion of the public burdens, be- cause the rich have way and the of cscaping taxation which the poor man cannot command. Therefore for centuries taxation system has been oppressive, since its invariable tendency has been and is to tax the man who can least afford to pay, and let him who pay. but who will not go scot free, comparatively speaking. Any system of tion that places handicap upon human enterprise and endeavor is pernlciously bad In Alaska see this system illustrated in all it's vicou.ness. Nearly every line of industry is taxed for the support of the federal government. Now, do not object to taxa tion for the purpose of raising for oca! self
 government, but there is something repellent and raucous in the system, conceived in blindness be- gotten in ignorance, and enacted by congress that compels man, because he lives in Alaska and gages in business, to pay taxes unheard of and known in all other "civzed' parts of this republic. Does anyone know of state territory of this Union where the barber and baker, the grocer saw mill owner the druggist, the butcher, in fact nearly every line of known legitimate business are compelled to pay taxes direct to the federal government? We do not think so. Yet this is precisely what Alaskans COnpeeu to uO tnc DleSSCO prlFIeSe or uV1nR in new and in many ways inhospitabic country: They do the pioneering pave the way and make it possible for country to become productive and annually send out millions of money to the "great outside" In return they subjected to unjust system of taxat:on such forefathers rebelle6 against, and the stand they took aud tho principles they fought for made this republic possible:
 Alaskans patient people, perhaps they are apathec; if so, it is because they downtrodden. They pay yearly their "tithes of mint and anise sud cumn," and then forget al' about it until the next year, when they are reminded that they must again render unto Caesar-much more than is Caesars
 God helps those who help themselves, It is said, so in the course of time may faimly hope that justice may be done Our first representative in congress when get him. should devote his first efforts to securing the repeal of the obnoxious taxation to which reference has been made. He will find plenty to do. and will doubt receive his only re- ward in tlie approval of his conscience if he have one, and in heaven, if he ever reaches it.

If a better job of collecting poll taxes (another unrighteous tax by the way) cannot be done than that of last year. it would be better left undone The poll tax collector last year to have selected
 easy ones," and those who refused to pay poll tax were left to themselves. Now, hold it to be the duty of good citizens to obey the laws of the land even if they sometimes press hardly, but we also want to see all taxed alike, so far as the admins tration of the law is concernel-thc rich and the poor. bond and free, barbarian and scythan."

IONS THE ONLY PARTY.

H. P. Hall has left the ship that is
going down toward McGinty and will
henceforth cast his allegiance with the
Republican party. Mr.. Hall made the
announcement that he would cast his
fortune with the only party LAST night
and..his entire was characteristic of
the man. To The Pioneer Press man
Mr.. Hall said:
81 want to belong to respectable
party" said Mr.. Hall 81 am not
going to look for any Office, nor take
any active part in politics. l am go
ing to try and make some money now,
but can't stay in the Democratic
party any longer.
1.-THE primary election convinced me
that there were about 924 respectable
Democrats in ST. Paul, and l think
these were Republican friends who
voted for me.
81 am going to stay out of politics,
but as fsr as parties go l am Repub-
lican. -
It is quite likely that the veteran
newspaper man will take the stump
for the Republican party during the
present campaign.
Really Mr.. Hall never should have
been anything else but Republican.
Had ne been in the Republican party
all these years he would have been
well rewarded.
