THE NEW TAX LAW.
In a series of iutt*restiug letters the Hon. T. Beasley, or Sullivan, has given a lucid explanation of the uew tax law. In coucluding this series of letters llr. Beasley insist that the complaints against the new lax law are not %\ell founded, and ttiat it is not vulnerable to the charges urged against it, because:
First: It does not discriminate against the poor and iu favor of the rich, but ou the contrary contains provisions making it operate mure equitably and uniformly than any former tax law.
Second: It does not reduce the taxes on any corporate property, but on the contrary all property of all corporations will be taxed the snine as property of individuals.
Third: The increase of the state levy was made upon the recommendations of the republican governor, and to meet the uecessary and unavoidable demands upen an empty stale treasury.
Fourth: Because the provision requiring all property to be assessed at Its true cash value, was but the effective enactment of a provi: ion to enforce and carry out what has heretofore been the law, ami what is recognized by all authority as the only true basis of valuation for taxation.
Fifth. Because provision was made for the effective taxation of franchises and other property of corporations and baukiug institutions, which have heretofore escaped taxation entirely-
Sixth: Because provision was made for state tax commissioners and county assessors aud the duly enj'iined upon such officers to see that railroads and all other corporations pay taxes according to their worth, aul to ferret out the hidden property of the tax dodgers, features never had iu former tax law in this slate.
BINDING TWINE MADE OF WOOD. Thomas E. Philips, of BMomiugtou, has discovered a process of seperating ordinary Cottonwood into its constituents fibers at a cost which is merely nominal. This liber, he believes, can be converted unto an excelled quality of binding twine for harvesting machinery, and sold at a reasonable profit for not to exceed one-half the price of the binding twine now universally used. Mr. Philip's experiments have proven that the libers comes from the solid wood firm and of the full length of the slick of timber operated upon.
He says too, that it matters uot whether the timber be young or old, large or small, the fibers coming out of a small branch of a tree as perfectly as from the trunk. The only things to be guarded against are knots ou tho wood, which shorten the libers. Mr. Philips, iu the test of his process, took an old liedslat of eottonwood and soon had it converted into strong, linn crd, which, without close examination, would hare beeu mistaken for ordinary hempen twine.
Besides its use for twine the fiber, it is believed by the inventor, may be utilized in many other ways, such as iu the making of mats, uiattiug, carpets, chair bottoms, etc* When the fiber has all been seperated from a piece of timber there remains a quantity of pulpy matter which .Mr. Phillips has not yet experimented upon, but which he has strong hopes nny be used in the manufacture of paper. Persous who have examined the process believe it is destined to prove of great value.
FAIR TREATMENT.
The company that is to pipe gas to this city from Sheridau, should see at the outset that its patrons receive square and fair treatment in every respect, aud that a gouge or skinning game of any kind will not be allowed. The public expect and desire that the stockholders shall receive a good fair per cent, ou the money investsd. They should receive this. I They are investing a large sum of money ou what many regard as an uncertainty that is the I permacency of the natural gas supply. If it should give out in two or three years their money is gone and trey are the losers. The most unfavorable features or the ordiauce perinitting the company to pipe gas through the city is that allowing it in case of "emergency" to add 15:5 per cent, additional to tho rates already fixed for the use of gas. Tho fear is that this "emergency" will soon after the sup-
I ply is turned on, he found necessary and will continue to exist ever after. The per cent, is higher, we understand, than is granted at I Lafayette, Logansport or other cities into which the gas is carried Tor a distance in pipeH.
People will willingly pay prices equal to the cost of wood or coal, but beyond that few of them will willingly submit, and if they liud I there is economy in returning to the old methods will do so. It is a great luxury.
Natural gas'saves time, dirt, etc., but we cannot pay exorbitant prices for it.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
SHNATOH JOHN SHHUMAN in his speech at the Ohio convention that nomiuated .McKiuley for (iovernor said: "We must contemplate the time when tho national banks will uot issue their notes, but become banks of discount and deposit. No notes should ciiculate ns money but sncli as have the sauctiou, authority nnd guarantee of the t'nited States. The best form of these is based on gold and silver of value equal to the notes outstanding. Nor should any distinction made between gold and silver.
We have italicized the last sentence of the quotation, because it indicates a change of position of the learned aud expert financiers oa the republican side of politics. Tho republican party demonetized silver, and has ever since denied to it its money function but now SKNATOII SHEKMANstands up before the whole republican party, aud proclaims, that "no distinction should be made between silver and gold."
CLEVELAND'S leadership of the Democracy lets the Republican party out of tho hole it had got into on the silver question.
IF the government can pay a bouuty of so much per pouud to those raising sugar can any body furnish any argument with any sense in it why it should not do the same thing for those producing wheat? If so lets hear It.
THE CRAW* OKD&V LLLE vVi lijbi is
IT is lather iu poor grace for the Indianapolis Sontinel to score Parson Chase, !ieuteniut-governor, for securing pay of $1,0(111 per year, throuh the new law, for a position in which there is nothing todo. Thesameuickempoopsthat veieil upon aud passed the fee aud salary bill, aud which is now a law, are responsible for the act that allows the sanctinnuious individual §1,000 for doing nothing. Of course it is an outrage and scandal that such should be a fact. The sen tors aud representatives permitted it to go with the "acts," not Chase and the responsibility rests with them. The people pay for this piece of idiocy as they do for others ere ated by the incompetents that they sent to the legislature. Of course, Chase earning from the party that he does, will be expected to pick up everything lying loose or left out over night by its owner, but if proper persons had beeu iu the legislature to look after such matters it would not have happened.
THE FOURTH.
Iu the celebration of the 115th anniversary of American independence last Saturday Crawforilsville did herself proud. It was tho largest crowd of people ever seen here on a similar occasion, and good order aud good nature seemed to have prevailed. The procession of merchants arid manufacturers was flue and creditable, the music by the four bands first rate, and the drill by the military companies first class. This is one celebration out of many iu years past that cannot be called a fizzle.
Everybody was feeling good, the farmers from the wheat crop prospects aud the merchants for eucouraging prospects of increased buslnpss. For the great success of the "Fourth'' the gentlemen composing the committees having the manageu.ent of the affair are to be thanked.
THE honest republicans of Pennsylvania and there are some left yet in that state, are disposed to throw off the bossistu of Quay and are making it decidedly uncomfortable for that individual. His record in many business and political matters is being opeued and it is evident that Quay has about reached the terminus of his political career. Pennsylvania is the worst ring governed state iu the Union, and always has been. A few politicians of the Quay, Cameron and Wanamaker stripe hold evorythiu tightly within their grasp, recognizing the voters as mere tools, consequently their is little honesty in the oflicial management of that state. The fight that the republicans are mak ing against ring rule in that state is being car ried on vigorously, and honest intentioned people will wish them unbounded success.
FOR BLAINE-
It would seem that all Blaine has to do to obtain the republican nomination for president in 1S02 is to say so and it is his. Everywhor the rads seem to want him as their caudidate, This enthusiasm for Blaine most make the cold chills creep down Harrison's back bone when he observes it. He is, no doubt, contemplating a second nomination, yet his principal cabinet officer inspires ten times the amount of feeling iu his party, and can have the nomination without a struggle ll he will but speak tho word. Notwithstanding Harrisons recent swing around the circle to the south aud west there is much more feeling for
Blaine in that part of the country than for Harrison.
THE arrivals of emigrants to this country in the last fifty years reaches tho enormous fitiires of 15,011,000. We believe all, both native and foreign, would bo satisfied now for it to cease for a period. We don't need any more additions to our population from that source for a long time to come. This nation lias become a very mixed hetrogeuious mass at best and whether a free government is a success will become a question of doubt, as our population continues to increase, and especially through emigration.
Two terribly disastrous railway accidents occurred the latter part of last week, one near Akron, Ohio, and the other in West Virginia, in which over thirty lives were lost. Both appear to have been the result of carelessness, and were avoidable with proper vigilance. Those responsible for such horrible affairs shoild be taken to the nearest treo aud executed, or shot. Accidents of this kind would be fewer if severe punishment were promptly administered.
HANNIBAL HAMLIN-
Hannibal Hamlin, vice president of the United States, during Lincoln's first term as President, died at Bangor, Maine, ou Ssturday last, aged 82 years. He was one of the pillers of the republican party, for the first two or more years after its formation, before which lie was a whig. He had held official positions of various kinds for fully a half century, and died a respected and honored citizen.
NEW wheat in snrili quantities is being brought to tho warehouses. The price is SO cents. This is reasonable, although if commanding $1.00 per bushel it would be rushed into market rapidly. Eighty cento is a fair price considering the cost of things now iu preparing and threshing the wheat to that of three years ago, and some money can be made at that figure. For the present there is no prospect of tho price increasing.
JAMES C. BLAISE was again reported a very sick man at his retreat, Bar Harbor, Maine, last week. These reports come too often not to be believed, and the conclusion will be among many, that for political purposes his real condition will be kept as secret as possible. It is perhaps for this reason fie has refused the use of his name as candidate for president before his party heretofore iu the knowledge that his hold on life is very Blim.
PRESIDENT HAHHISON does not seem to be one of those executives that is going to overwork himself, but will have as much pleasure as possible while holding a §50,000 per year office. He is now at Cape May, at which point all public business requiriug his attention must be attended to. He will remain there six weeks. After his late southern and western trip persons would think he had "recruited enough for a year. ».
Is order to diAert attentiou Trotn the iniquities of the McKmley tariff law, which is a tax on every one, the republican papers are mak ing desperate efforts to cast odium on the uew tax law or this state which simply equalizes the payment of taxes and forces many who have heretofore dodged considerable amount of taxpaying into payment of the just amounts due froin them.
EIGHTY hinders were sold by one firm this year to farmers. It is to be hoped that this will not create hereafter eighty law suits and eighty foreclosure of mortgages, and have eighty families iu misery for the next few years, yet the careiessuess of many fanners in indiscriminate purchasing often leads to ju6t such results.

OLD BEN. BUTLEK, who NOOMA to have rapia ly goue into obscurity since the close of the war, has lately published a bo .k of himself. A full account of his war ou the strumpets of New Orleaus, when he was iu commaud there, will doubtless form an interesting feature of his book.
THE republioau papers that are congratulate ing themselves upon the line coudition orcrops by which they hope it may give them another four years lease ou the government should remember that another year of crops must be gathered after this before tho next presidential election.
MOKE business failures were noticed last month than for the same period last year. It is tunny how the McKiuley law does help things. Iu spite of the fact that we have much "protection" mauy business men, be they ever so prudent, are compelled to assign.
THE board of review, whose business it is to hear complaints regarding the assessment of real estate, is now in session. Of course it will bave much business on its hands, as about every other man in the county will think he has been wronged by the assessor.
THE Midland railway owes $5,000 in state aud county taxes iu Madison county aud over $4,000 iu Boone. The treasurers of these couatis should call on A. P. mua, of Waveland. and get his patent for raising money out of that dead beat corporation.
RKITHMCANS are oigaitizmg iu clubs already for the campaign next year. Demociats should commence the same thing at once. Thorough organization is greater iu a campaign than a thousand silver tougued orators.
PRESIDENT BENNY HARBISON has given us a real fine whoat crop, aud now if lie will do a3 equally well in corn, potatoes, hay, etc., we will be disposed to overlook many of his other numerous shortcomings.
A Koliublo Assistant.
The poet and the almanac-maker agree that all seasons have their signs, but those of spring are most active and insistent. It is then that nature throws off the lethargy of winter aud prepares to renew her bounties. It is '.lieu, also, that nature attemps to throw of the impurities that have lain dormant iu the human system. This effort mauifests itself iu various ways—in the increased activity of olr affections, in the appearance of boils, carbuncles and other eruptions,1 and iu the various symptoms so familiar to those who have suffered. It is at this period that nature finds ail active and a trustworthy assistant in S. S. S. which, in the work of purifying the blood and strengthening the system, has proven to be the most perfect spring medicine evur offered to the public.
