NJ. r. HOullldn SalO he UuOuSAO ~
an injustice to the other liquor dealers
and the taxpayers that one man should
get a license for $3.50 and another have
to pay $3.50. He could not see the JUS
tice Of making flesh of one and fish of
another. He asked why it was that
the revenue from licenses and other
sources was reduced, and by what in
fluence this license was obtained.
Selectman Morris told him that the
loss of income from the state for
schools was caused by less school chill
dren. AS to the falling off in license
money Mr. Morris said Mr. Houlihan
probably knew more about the matter
than he did. Mr. Morris was glad that
the question had been asked for it gave
him opportunity to state, in contradic-
tion to all rumors, that he had never
in any way, shape or manner, either
by letter or petition, used his position
or influence in getting hotel license
for any one, and he further said that
his position on the liquor question
ought to be we'll enough known to not
make 1T necessary to contradict such
rumOrs. In conclusion he asked Ex-
County Commissioner Houlihan if the
county commissioners did not have
absolute control over the granting of
licenses.
At this point Chairman Beers stated
this license business did not seem to
be in order. A motion was then made
by J. J. Northrop to lay 1O-mill tax,
but an amendment offered by Frank
Wright to make it II mills, was carried.
The meeting then adjourned.

Tie company did business about
four years, and the stockholders finally
lost every cent they put in. Mr. Mitch
ell, the president, also lost, it is said,
s., 600 he had loaned the company.
The annual report of the company
filed July, 1875, brought out these
facts:
Amount OF capital paid In, s19,9O7.9o
Cash Value Of Assets, 2s, 10000
Debts, 100000
When they stopped doing business
the company had four or five car loads
of manufactured matches on hand.
They were sold in lump to S. J.
Adams, who was engaged for several
years in selling them to country mer-
chants. The company had quite a
racket with the United States govern
ment at one time. At that period
the boxes of matches had to be stamp
ed. The government brought a suit
against the company, claiming they
had violated the internal revenue laws.
The ruling called for a cent stamp for
every hundred matches and a fraction
thereof. Because the Washington
Match Co. were honest and gave good
measure, the internal revenue people
started suit against them, which is
on record in the town clerks office.
1t tizzled out, as it ought to have done.
AS Mr. Woodruff leased the building
to the Match Co. for the match bust
ness, he got possession of the property
again and later sold it to Maj King
man.

 He hung himself with soft hemp cord not larger than a lead pencil. The deed had been deliberately planned and undertaken with evi- dent determination. As high as he could reach he drove a large spike in the wall. To this he made fast the hemp cord. He placed a box under the spike on which he stood. A slip moose was placed about his neck when the box was kicked from under him.
 When discovered he was hanging with his face to the wall, his feet reaching to within six inches of the floor.

THE trouble with railroad tax ex- emption, as the Courier has always maintained, says that paper, is that it is in the nature of a contract without a consideration-the rail- road gets an un-American class law for its benefit, has no taxes to pay, and, as we have said a thousand times, has unlimited power to tax the people in the way of freights and fares. The next legislature should repeal all tax exemption laws, for all property should bear its proportion of taxation, es- pecially so now that we have to pay those illegal bonds which taxless political influences have foisted upon us. We must do some thing to avoid the property confis- cation which the Murphy bond blight threatens, and that some thing is to make the power which brought on the blight help stand it.
