A TERRIBLE CRIME.

Some reference wa made in this
paper several days ago TO the awful
crime which was committed by ne
gro In Future City suburb on the nth

the affair is given this morning. II
is not plea ant TO write detailed sto-

but there may be conditions and cir
cumstanccs which NOT only justify,
but make it nece sary that the truth
in all its horrible details shall be told
and read; and these conditions aud

cd concerning ii in any paper Of the
city except The Bulletin, probably be
cause of the false notion that the
story Is too hooking for publication.
But the fact that hardly any interest
has been shown by any one in the
poor little victim and her distressed
mother. excepting that shown By the
attending physician, justfies the con
cmsion that little shocking will
do the public no harm in this instance

more serious than parading about the

ton
Perhaps it is in order 10 say, in
this connection, that this case offer,
no ground for any manifestation oi

PROHIBITIoNISTS IN DOUBT

The Prohibition national convention
at Indianapolis has adjourned till TO
day and il is not yet known whom
they will favor with their nomination
for president of the United States
Some of them are strongly in favor
of Gen. Miles as their candidate,
though they admit that they do not
know whether he is in accord with
their party as a political Prohibition
list. and that II is only by reference
that he has agreed to accept their
nomination, If rendered

hard to reCist.
But what would avail a mere in.
crease of a hundred thousand or two
hundred thousand in the vote Of the
Prohibitionists If it were obtained By
man not fully IN accord with the
party, and whose popularity Is due
to other circumstances than biz
views with reference to the liquor

for the party, but rather a personal
tribute to the candidate drafted into

TAXATION IN ILLINOIS.

No branch of The law should be
palmer in statement than that defn
ing taxation, and not many branches
present more difficulties of interpre
tation. The recent decision of the su
prcme court in what is known as The
Hub case is an illustration.
For about a quarter of a century
the law governing the taxation ol
certain classes Of corporations has
been generally, perhaps universally
construed to mean that the franchise
or what one might call the good
viii, is not assessable. only the tan.
gihle property OF these corporations
being supposed to be taxable. appar
emily on the theory that If an ndiyid
ual owner were conducting the bust
ness such would be the rule.
Now the court holds that this was
not the intention but only that the
local assessors should fix the value OF
the franchise or good will as that Of
certain other corporations organized
for profit must be fixed by the state
board Of equalization
II is a legal mu1dle into discussing
which ii would not be profitable 10
enter, though it may be remarked in
passing that il the court Is right now
as to the legislative intention II
seems strange indeed that il was SO
differently understood when the legis-
lltiye action was fresh.
Aside from that. however. one may
al least remark that there Is no good
( reason why the state hoard of euu,li.
zation should have been given orig.
inal authority in assessing anv corpo
rations If the legislature intended
all corporations 10 be assessed alike
why vest the assessing authority for
one class in one board and for other
classes in another board? Probably
the legislators who enacted the law
could not answer the question now l.
