Taxpayer the Under Dog.

''Those sums in the aggregate amount
to the sum Of $3i0.720 20. that this
county has been wronged out of during
the last ten or twelve years. All these
wrongs have been imposed upon the
people by reason Of the malfeasance or
misfeasance Of it's county officers. all of
whom have been receiving a good
liberal salary, and the poor under dog
has been taxed to death in order to pay
them their salaries.
II ask you fellow citizens. If in your
judgment this is fair citizenship? Is
it fair and right that the Assessor
should go around each year and assess
the poor farmer or stock man and all
citizens in a moderate line of business
whose possessions are about all in sight,
to near their actual value, and let the
millionaire mine owner. who is build
ing castles in Paris, London and New

A staggering blow to Government en-

nearly doubling their salaries by the
collection of fees for work as notaries

1t is as follows:

service of the Government, who is also
a notary public. shall charge or receive
any compensation whatever for per-
forming any notariai act for any Of

1t has been the custom for years IN
all departments of the Government for
some of the employees TO hold commits

acknowledgements. This brought them in
a STEADY flow of fees.
In the case of paymasters 1t was
necessary TO handle a large number OF

in 1882 she has entirely neglected her
Notifications on the eastern frontier
centering all her efforts on fortifying
the western frontier as Italy's relations
with France were then so strained. that
under Premier Crispi a conflict seemed
imminent. Since 1889, however, the
most friendly relations have been re-
established with France and the opin-
ion now prevails here that all the Ital-
ian frontiers should be equally protect
ed, not for aggressive purposes but so
that Italy may be ready for all posi-
BILE occurrences. Consequently the
proper authorities have been studying
the best methods of inSuring safety of
the peninsula along the eastern Alps
which are strategeticaIly Italy's weak
est point as Austrian territory so pro-
jects into Italy as to enable a hostile
army to be in the heart of Lombardy or
Venetia after a few days marches.
Therefore a bill will be presented to
parliament making the necessary ap-
preparation for the fertilization of the
Italian frontier in the direction of the
eastern Alps, but any uneasiness on the
subject in Austria is not justified, Italy 5

1900 BAGS OF sHAMRocKs.
Consignment From Ireland for ST.
Patrick's Day Was Late.

The steamship Umbria, that came
into port Tuesday a day late. had
2,4OO bags of mail. Seventeen hun
bred of these bags were from Ireland
and held shamrocks, says the New
York American.
The shamrocks are a-coming, don t
you hear the engines drumming,
a-churning up the waters of the bay;
there is need for care and hurry,
there is cause for postal worry-the
Umbria has already lost a day.
For in southern state and western,
Irish lips repeat the question: viii
the dear old shamrock come to cheer
us, bring us pleasant news of lovers.
give US word of sisters, brothers: give
US hope they'll soon be near us?
1t will bring no tale of weeping,
though the Irish heart be bleeding AMI
gaunt famine sets hard upon the
home. For their woe they seek to
cover, only amity and love are sending
over for the Irish heart would rather
bleed alone.
So on western shore and southern,
Irishmen are fretting, bothering, wait
ing for the shamrocks from DER the
sea; so it rests with Uncle Sam to give
to every maid and man of Irish blood
the plant they long to see.
