Ifltac Ever Thus.

TO show that railway companies
have always practiced lodging the
payment OF their full share OF taxes
and indti.,ed in packing the capital
with Lobbyists to influence legisla-
tors regardless OF cost, the following
editorial, published in the Mineral
Point Tribune of February 9th, 1862,
is reprinted:
"A bill passed the Senate some
days since raising the tax from one
per cent to four per cent on the
gross earnings Of railroads in this
state. On its being sent to the As
semblv the bill was referred to the
committee on Railroads, who report
ed back substitute making the tax
two and one-half per cent, which
amount the railroad men who had
filled the lobby were reported as
willing 20 pay. The bill was then
referred to the judiciary committee
who reported another substitute,
making the tax three per cent. DR..
Vivian then member of assembly
from Mineral Point offered an
amendment raising the tax to four
per cent, Mr.. Palmer who claimed
to have figured considerably upon
the matter thought Mr.. Vivian talk
ing at random, without having ex-
amiEad the matter, We gather, how
ever. from the published proceed
ings, that DR.. Vivian satisfied the
Milwaukee gentleman, and the house
generally, that lie had posted HIM
self before making the motion. He
showed clearly by their own figures
that even at four per cent the rail-
roads w.u'd lot pay their proportion
OF the taxes by $4,000. The matter
was, however, postponed until the
next day, when the vote for three
per cent iluaIly carried through th2
influence OF tae railroad men pres
ent. A. consequence a large NUM-
Der Of the memhers of the Legislature
had pas s. and the assembly imme-
diately adjourned over until the fol-
lowing Monday, and the members of
the legislature We're in for u railroad
ride and avt ito their homes. The
lobby is sometimes strong branch
of our state leg ,rlature.

Russian Brides,

one OF the most interesting sights in
Russia is the exhibition of would be
brides, which takes place annually ut
hiul, near Moscow. On the festival of
the Epiphany Russian style) all the
young women who wish to get married
IN the course of the year are mustered
IN a long row in the principal street.
In order to make themselves attractive
10 the young men who come to see and
admire them they don nearly every
thlng in their possession Not only do
lhey put on their best clothes. but also
lot OF curious old family trinkets, in
Guiding sometimes valuable scarfs.
'ioahs ana furs, and they even bring
with them their bed linen and other
articles of their wardrobe. A process
sion Is formed, and on their way TO
me church the young men approach
The would be brides, engage them in
conversation, and if the young people
mink they suit one another a formal
visit is paid to the parents.

Mt. Hope one. Boscobel gets an ad-
ditional one and relay. No chang
es ut Montfort or Sitter. The Fen
nimore- Millville stage route will not
be discontinued. Livingston gets
one more route.
Commencing with the first OF this
month the carriers annual salarywas
raised from 5000 to $40, which is
none too large for what Is required.
But pause for n moment to consider
what Grant county is going to cost
the government yearly-$5l, $40. 1t
will be remembered that during the
campaign last winter for the nomin-
alton OF congressman, the people
Of Grant county were promised this
new system, or increase in carriers,
providing their support went In a
certain direction. 1t was a good bait,
and served it's purpose well. But a
question suggests itself here: If
Grant county Is entitled to such a
number Of carriers would she not
have got them IL the result OF the
congressional struggle were the re-
verse? II not, more the shame and
disgrace. And II the county is not
entitled to that number, and Uncle
Sans treasury is being looted to
maintain railroad politics, the public
should be duly informed. Every
loyal and honor loving citizen
should consider himself a committee
Of one for investigating purposes,
and Thoroughly inpestigote.
The howl about game wardens
(who by the way are self sustaining
because OF law requlrements) should
henceforth cease, and will II the par
ties INDUCING therein have any
compunction for political sin, as the
entire number of game wardsns for
the whole state will not equal that
of the rural mail carriers in Grant
county after the first Of next month.

senting the Democrats of the United
States, permit a mere demagogue to
bully them into wrong doing, 1t must
be that the demagogue is greater
than the party"
Referring to Judge Parker, it says:
"A timid eastern Democrat has
been placed on the ticket with an
octogenarian free silverite from
West Virginia and supplied with a
platform which amounts to an en-
dorsement OF the platforms Of Chi
cago and Kansas City. The populis-
tic west and the reactionary south
are again in alliance, with a new
leader, it is true. but with no change
in principle u nd purpose"
The concluding paragraph OF the
announcement reads:
"TEc Chronicle believes that the
Republican party, while not free
from fault by any means, offers the
American people at this time the
only prospect of efficient, intelligent,
honest government. that Is anywhere
to be seen, and, so believing. 1t will
do what it can to advance its prln-
ciples and to strengthen its candi-
dates"
