Stage Gossip From Gotham

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-For the first
time since the season began nothing
new was presented to the thcatersoers
Of New York this week: that is, no rev

trusts are known in free trade
England as well as here. The tariff

In the death of United States Dis

has lost one of its best citizens. Mr..
Hill was an able lawyer and has fill
ed the District Attorneyship for eight
years in a very creditable manner.
Among those mentioned as his sue
cessor are: Hon. George w. Jolly,
of Owensboro, Judge DuRelle, of
Louisville, Walker Watkins, Elkton,
and M. L. Heavrin. of Hartford.
Any one of these gentlemen would
make good District Attorney, but
of course we think Mr.. Heavrin
would exactly fit the place. No
more deserving or better man could
be found in the Western District.

No town of its size can boast of a
better set of boys than Hartford.
They are an orderly, manly class of
young fellows who will make them
selves felt in the doings of the world
in the future. 1t has often been re-
marked on the streets that the pres
ent Hartford boys are less given to
smoking, chewing, swearing and all
other habits and vices, which blight
the minds of our young men of to-
day, than any boys who have grown
up here in many years. They are
not clanish and have no quarrels.
On Sunday mornings, they are at the
various Sunday schools of the town.
Our citizens should be proud of them
and should encourage them in all
their laudable sports and ambitions.
They are the boys of to-day but they
will be the citizens of tomorrow.

The time has come when people
must list their lands, or other prop
erty, at something near cash value.
If they do not do 50, the County
Board of Supervisors should raise
them. If our county falls far be-
hind our neighbors in assessed valu-
alton, as it did last year. the State
Board will proceed to raise US in or
der to equalize US with other coun-
ties, and then the raise will fall upon
all alike. The ones who have given
a fair valuation must suffer with
those who have sought to evade
their fair share of the burdens of
taxation.
