Taxpayers Called Upon BY the Treas.
urer=to Walk up and Settle. .x.:z :

T. tt jIt J.
County Treasurer Jackson has sent
the usual notice this week to all con
cerned that personal taxes areSnow* due,
that they must be paid before March lst
to avoid the ten per cent penalty and
that If not paid before April LIST they
will be placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection. The receipts of these
notices have caused a heap Of discussion
OF the question of taxation and raised a
general cry of reform. Nine out Of ten
think they are getting the worst of it
and it would ne hard to find the tenth
man who is ready to- acknowledge being
the favored one. It's the same old
story. Men are made to think hardest
and give earnest attention to public
questions OF any sort by touching their
pocketbooks. But the disturbance will
blow over in day or two, the mad ones
will cool off, assessors ears will cease to
burn and the question of taxation will
be laid away for another year.
\ In Cook county there are something
like $50 personal property taxpayers.
OF these there are just forty-five who
pay over $500 personal taxes. AS a
matter of special interest just at this
time we append hereto the names of
these together with the amount paid by

ions we believe every preacher in the
land should at least take two good in.

them first of all for the news they con.

The church ought to be well informed
not only on the tenets and the doctrine
of it's faith and order, but on current
events. There is not much warmth to be
expected from religious fossil, in the
pulpit or in the pew. The sacred desk
should be center of information and
not place for dawdling, sickly, re.

from time to time. the advantages offered
by the courtesy Of the press, and allow
brief and pointed synopses of his sermons
to appear, not merely his sensational ser.

efforts.
The power welded by the press is tire.
mendous, and as rule the editors of our
dailies and weeklies are men of broad
and liberal views, and know and realize
it to be their province, in the truest
sense, to gather news and publish news,
and we must believe that in the columns
