MARCH 17,1894.

DAY OF SETTLEMiiNT GENERALLY COMES. Abner Bowen, Delphi, lud., tive or eix yeais ago. or at the time of his death, was one of the wealthiest men of the Wabash valley, his fortune being estimated at over f'2,000,000. JIo was a noted tax dodyer, and seemed to have a way of intimidating assessors and county treasurers by which he rarely paid more than a tenth of the taxes he should, lint the day of judgment came at last. 'L'ho uHiciale got after the estate to force it to pay its share, of taxation, and the duplicates for year were looked up and wherever he had failed to giva to the assessor the proper amount it was placed on the duplicate. The heirs fought this, of course, and some years ago took all the personal property out of the State. This failed to stop the fellows who ware looking for hidden tuxablcs. The case was carried through several courts. The Supremo Court last week rendered a uecisiou against the Bowen heirs in thia case. The estate was thus taxed for the years from 1SS1 to IS?!' inclusive in amounts ranging from 8101.000 to ?:!"2.000. ths auditor claiming that this amount of property had been sequestered and from his action in putting the property on the tax duplicate an appeal was taken The supreme court holds for the auditor all along the sine. The law invests him with the powers of assessor. From the nature of the case he could give only a general description of the property omitted from taxation. Where title is sought thruugh a tax sale the statute is strictly construed in favor of the owner, but not where the owner is attempting to avoid the payment of his just taxes. "If these taxes were unpaid." the court holds, "they belong to the state. They are the state's property and the right of the state to them never ceases. The statute of ]s ii [1!1B

no

repealed the law

authorizing the assessment of omitted property. The legislature, in enacting the tax law, had no intention of giving delinquent tax payers any such advantage over the honest, people of the state."

DEM.00RA.TIU 0TTY NOMINATIONS. The policy of making nominations for city offices by the democracy is, we bebolievo, very questionable. We see no particular use in it aside from maintaining the party organization. The result of such a ticket can be easily foreseen, and it will meet with the usual defeat. The republican nvijority of 1500 or 400 canuot be overcome by any such movement now. We believe that party can soonest be overcome by giving it full reign to go on and a?t as it desires, piling up a debt, as it has during the past four yearn. This will bring disgust ami desertion from the party much quicker lhan anything the democracy cau do. Let a few more of the Reynolds. Smiths, and Seotts. have their own undivided sway for a year or two more and it will be no trouble to defeat the republican party in the city hereafter. Let the people fairly understand the animus of such men, let the tax levy continue to be increased, let th» city continue to borrow money at high rates of interest, and the party that tolerates such work will fall to pieces of its own volition. We believe in letting the election go by default this year, and allowing the taxpayers to Lave the full experience from the wjrk of its councilinen of the past three or four years. Of course there is talk of an independent ticket. The ••Reform League" which does not like Handle anil others of the republican nominees, may aim to run a ticket, but all this will not amount to anything. No ono believes that it will. The chance for electing it would bo about as good as the average republican councilman's to enter the gates of the celestial regions.

Tn i. question when will the Wilson bill be put to final vote in the Senate is a long distance oil' so far as an answer is concerned. The Senate has only within a past few days begun a discussion of it. Laeh item must be taken up separately and disposed of, and in every locality where sumo article of importance is produced such as iron, lead, whisky, lumber, etc., a king rambling argument pro and eon must take place. This is in accoidance with the red tape methods and the Senatorial dignity we hear so much about. It may be months vet before the bill is disii'ised of.

I'lliti'.K or four fellows from the rural districts including Johnson of Pawnee,' McCormick of Waveland. and DickBible of near New Richmond, arc foolishly fixing themselves to run for county treasurer on the republican ticket. They should not be so verdant. They should know that tho republican ring has decreed otherwise and that none of them have the ghost of a chance. The nomination has been settled for Cravfordsville this year and you can save breath a«d announcement expenses by retiring at once.

WON'T HAVE THE BEST. Dr. Thomas who was a candidate for Mayor before the republican city uoiui nating election last week, was morally, intellectually, and from a business point of view much ahead of any man that has offered for the position in several years in his party, and yet he was third in the racs. This indicates where a perfectly fit man, clothed with every thing necessary to givo credit to the ortice and honor to the city, comes before the republican party he has little prospect of nomination. The party if run by a ring, and the ing secured every man it sup ported last week except Scott for city clerk. Tracy, the successful nominee, was aided by the (1. A, K. society, or the ring wouid have slaughtered him. The vote all the way through indicates this, and that the ring had things just about as they wanted them. A man need not olfer for any position in that party in the city with any hope of success until he has first attached himself to this combination.

Thk income tax feature of the Wilson bill will be retained and should pass. Jt wiii not suit the iron, coal and whisky barons, and thousands of the monopolists of the country, who for years have bean able to shift the burdens of taxation on tho middle and poor classes of the country, but that matters not. The proposed income tax teems to be the most feasible plan yet suggested for reaching them and should bo adopt ed. Those opposing it are of the same class who drew 7 per cent, interest on non-taxable bonds during the rebellion while the less fortunate class were fighting, bleeding, starvint and suffering all he horrors of war. If any one knows of a better plan lhan the income tax to compel the wealthy of the country to pay their just share of taxation he should have a hearing, but until something better is demonstrated let the present proposed law be put in operation.

Pemikk» .\.-t. the murderer of Carter Harrison, has been sentenced to be hung or, Fridiy. .March "J.'iil, at Chicago. A few extra pious fanatics whose religious zeal is stronger than their sense, are kicking because the day mentioned is "(lood Friday," and in the eyes of the alleged Ood fearing people is wrong to hang him on that day. The court should pay no attention to these people, and whether gootl Friday or bad Friday should proceed to rid the earth of such a monster regardless of the day or the religious inclinations and belief of anj body. It will be regarded as a very good Friday and a deed well done if by his execution the army of pestiferous cranks that are appearing all over the country ready to destroy property and life are thoroughly intimidated by the stretching of the neck of one of their number. v.

An instance of how wealthy people often seek to dodge their share of taxation is afforded in the late W. P. Callup. of Indianapolis. Gallup was a bachelor, and worth fully a half million dollars. He was energetic, moral and a high toned citizen generally, as represented. He gave to the poor and the church, and had the interest of his city always at heart. Notwithstanding his wealth lie paid taxes on only 620,000! JIo held the bonds as investments on a half dozen counties and cities of the State, and was a stockholder in a bank in Indianapolis, but for years was only paying on 820.000. According to this he yearly perjured himself when the assessor came around swore falsely. The assessor has been interviewing the executor of the estate, and will secure more money for tho taxpavers than Gallup in his life time seemed disposed to give.

A ,mn many woodered last week how Billy Nicholson, candidate for city treasurer, could tan tho jackets of his opponents —Fry and Abrams bo easily. His party enemies used the third term" cry on him the same as on Scott for clerk, but with far different results. Nicholson defeated Ilia oponents by 230 majority. It was done by a simple twist of the wrist. Nicholson belongs to the republican ring, and tho ring dared not go against him. lie eould have defeated his opponents evei: if he had remained in his ofiice all day. Tho moral of this is: If you want to win an ofiice join a ring. Nino times out of ten the ring comes out on top.

Bv a recent decision of the Supreme Court, trustees after paving out the different amounts of each fund of a township. if there be any money left must return it to the treasury of the county, and arc not allowed to retain it for the ensuing yoar. uit« often many trustees of the state when there was a surplus, have retained the money or used it in their individual affairs. By this decision they cannot lawfully do this. Trustens cannot loan nor use the tow nship funds for any other purposes than those specitiod in the statutes.

Tin: Catholics of Huntington, liUo those here, showed good sense regarding tho visit and lecture of ex Priest Rudolph. who was there last week. The A P. A. called on the city for police protection fearing the mobbing of Rudolph by the C.'atholics. The city would not grant it. neither was any Catholic present to disturb him. He left without suffering martyrdom or getting much free advertising, both of which ho no doubt much desired, and his lecture and hituoolf tlid neither much harm nor good.

VALUABLE EXPERIENCE."

Those individuals who made their tirei race for ofiice on the republican city ticket last week, have some valuable experience and au extended knowledge of human nature, which may bo of benefit to them hereafter. They have learned that tho business of otlice seeking is very uucertain and profitless to most of those engaging iu it, that the pursuit of it is full of quicksands, treachery, deceit and meanness, that the fellow that said he would "vote for you and do all he could "or you," made the same promise to all the other candidates that solicited his Btiffrauo, that intense selfishness is the predominating characteristic of the voter who is interested in any particular man's election. All of theso thingsmanv of those candidates running last week have no doubt, thoroughly learned. Further observation will show them that nincteuths of the men who have held ollice are poor, are really worse off pecuniarily than if they had never sought official favors, aud morally and socially the ollice was a curse instead of a blessing. They have only to look arouud to see ollicial wrecks. They are plenty here as in every city and county men who would have been a score of times better off had they not have pursued the uucertain course of ofiice seeking. Some men can uevbr kill the oiliciai bee when once it begins to buzz in their ears. One of the late candidates for Mayor is an instance of this. He commenced running for ollice twenty years or more ago, and although meeting with indifferent success the bee still buzzes, anil he will probably be a candidate for something as long as ho lives. The knowledge and experience to be gained by these primitive otlieo seekers is to let the business alone. You can do better, live longer, be more contented, and have more money in the long run by letting ofiice seeking alone. Legitimate business pursuits will roward you bettir and mako your days more pleasant.

Thk commissioners of Tippecanoe county have refused to make an appropriation of #00.000 for Purdue University which institution suffered grea loss some two months ago by tiro. If the county cannot or will not pay anything to keep the school there no other locality should, yet Purdue is called a State institution, and next winter a lobby, no doubt, will b« on hand to work the State legislature into u.akirr a big appropriation fur a concern whose benefits almost all go to Tippecanoe county. Counties in which such institutions as Purdue exist should give all the financial aid needed, and if they refuse them the schools should cease.

(!i:ksiia.m's example of dropping off his own pension does not seem contage ous among any rich republican ollice iiolders who wore in the army. He is about the only man that will ever be hoard of doing this. It is a rested right of which they no not desire to surrender.
