THE BURDEN OF TAXATION. Some Plain Figures Which Show that Saloon-Keepers Do Not Bear It. The Amonnt of the Assessment of Individnals, and Its Proportion of tlie City's Total Taxable Property. “The retail liquor traffic causes more expense, ‘iireotly and indirectly, to this city than all other vocations put together; wouldn't it be well for you to see how much in the way of taxes it pays into the city treasury!” r Thig suggestion was made not by a temperance man, but a small tax payer. The reporter thought the matter, in consideration of the fact that the question of an increase in tho city license is being agitated, might be worth acting upon. He did so. In turning the pages of the tax duplicate the reporter was greatly surprised to see how little money the saloon-keepers paid in the way of taxes, and the exceedingly small Cliowing of personal property this interest makes. Truly the philosopher who said that nil that was necessary to constitute a saloon was a portrait of George Washington and a keg of beer was very near the mark. There arc in this city 335 saloons. The tax paid on stock and fixtures in these places is absolutely insignificant in amount in respect to the expense they cause. Tho poorest ward of the twenty-five in this city pays move taxes several times over than is paid on the capital actually invested in the liquor traffic —as given in to the assessors by tho dealers. In looking over the tax duplicates the names of a considerable number of the retail liquor dealers are not readily found. Many of those who have real estate hold it in the namo of the wife; others do business as Agents and through figure-heads. The changes in proprietorship between taxing seasons are numerous, and this, too, makes the task of preparing a list no easy one. The following is a list of some of the smaller tax-paying saloonowners and the amounts they pay upon: Name*. Pays on. Alhortsmeyet, Chas., 490 S. Mer., pers. and poll $125 Albertsmeyer, Ohas.

HONOIiS PAID TO THE DEAD. The Members of the Indianapolis Bar Pay Respect to Gov. Baker’s Memory. Distinguished Gentlemen Speak in Highest Praise of His Character, and the Sleeting Adopts a Memorial Tribute. Yesterday the flags on the Postoffice and Court-house were flying at half mast, out of respect to the memory of Hon. Conrad Baker. In tho afternoon at 3* o’clock, a full membership of the Indianapolis bar, besides other distinguished citizens, assembled in the United States Courtrooms, at the Post-office building, to render fitting tribute to the memory of the deceased. Upon motion, Judge William A. Woods was elected chairman. He stated the object of tho meeting in the following words: Gentlemen and Brothers of the Bench and Bar: We are assembled for the purpose of paying a public tribute to the memory of our late brother, Conrad Baker. Chosen simply to preside over your meeting, there is no need, nor fitness, indeed, that I should say more than an introductory word. There are others here especially chosen for the purpose, and fitted for it by long and intimate personal and professional acquaintance, who, I doubt not, are prepared to present well-considered and adequate estimates of the life and character and individual worth of the deceased. If the bereavement of family, the broken ties of friendship, and kindest considerations could be ignored or forgotten, I should be much inclined to say that this was not an untimely death. “To all men death oomessoon or late.” In his case not until well nigh the end of three score years and ten, and so full did he fill the allotted years of his manhood with good words and work—with conscientious and unremitting effort to do his full duty in every relation—that, if prolonged, his life would hardly have been more symmetrical or complete, or covered in the end with higher or better deserved honors. Certainly his example as a man or citizen could not have been made much more beneficent and helpful, nor the love of friends and their grief for his loss made deeper. Without attempting an analysis or even a general estimate of his character, which, from the time I first came to know him personally, has always seemed to me exceptionally complete and free from blemish, the particular traits which have impressed me most were his modesty and his devotion to truth and duty. Conscious, as he must have been, of the talents, and culture and learning which gave him place in the fore ranks of men, he never was ostentatious, but seemed desirous rather to escape occasion for display of his powers, except when duty compelled it. If to tho call of duty in any important matter he ever failed to respond, all knowledge of the fact, I think, must have gone with him. So far as I know or h e heard, mortal lips have never uttered the accusation. What I suppose to have been the most notable display of this trait of his character, whs his enlistment and service during the war of the rebellion, in the army of his country. Constitutionally as well as by education and training ho must have been strongly opposed to war, and by every instinct of his nature doubtless shrunk fiom such employment. But tho call came; it was to him the call of duty which he could not disregard. That ho was eminent in, and an honor to, his chosen profession, goes without saying; and so long as it can show such characters, engaged with success in its pursuits, the profession itself will not be without honor among men. Major Gordon then spoke of the deceased. He said that in the death of Governor Baker the country had lost a valuable citizen. His public life was simple, honest and fair. It was as easy to tear the sun from his course in the heaven as to lead him from the path of rectitude. He never did anything for success that would touch the conscience of an honest man. Governor Baker was ready for all tho emergencies and contingencies of public life. He had charity for all and malice for none. Brave as Caesar, just as Aristides, and gentle as Brutus, death never closed over a worthier man than Governor Bakei*. Senator McDonald said that the Indiana bar had lost one of its brightest lights in the death of Governor Baker. There were more brilliant orators, and men of more legal polish in the bar than he; but in his unbending, unflinching integrity, he was superior to them all. Governor Baker was somewhat like his great contemporary, Lincoln, in his homebred honesty. The two men were alike in this respect, both had to convince themselves of the justness of a cause before they would support it When they were not thus convinced, both wore weak men. It was not unfortunate for tho country that Governor Baker had died. His end is the common fate of all men. After rounding such a life as his, and painting such a noble record in the pages of his country’s history, death cannot be regretted. Hon. A. C. Harris said that on such an occasion as the present it was impossible to speak any but words of praise. The character of Governor Baker was formed by his early surroundings. Reared as he was on the farm, he was always fond of the forest, field and sunshine. His whole life was as open and clear to everyone as tho sky overhead. The peculiar traits of his character were his integrity and simple honesty. In political contests these traits won him many supporters. His whole life is a lesson and study for the young men of to-day. Governor Baker’s motive was charity, and his purpose was to deal out justice. He had a high and abiding evidence of a life hereafter, and believed iu God. Everywhere his mind turned on tho poles of truth. Living, as he did, in a heroic age—a time of war—he never shrank from contest, but performed nobly the part of a soldier. Governor Baker had no enemies, either at the bar or in politics. He never sought preferment, but it came to him. All the ends he aimed at were his country’s and his God’s. His great talent was in giving force to reason and fair play to justice. Colonel Denby, of Evansville, once a student of law under Governor Baker, and afterward a partner, spoke with feeling of his indebtedness to the teachings and preceptorship of the deceased, and said that the Governor was the most accurate and painstaking lawyer that he ever knew. His one great fault was that he labored too much. The conscience of Governor Baker was almost abnormally developed, He was deeply read in all the literature of the law, and was one of the brightest examples of the old school of lawyers. Judge Nib!ack spoke also of his indebtedness to Governor Baker, and related how, in his early career as a lawyer, the Governor had rendered him invaluable services. Other lawyers were more ornate in their language, but as a safe, strong lawyer, Governor Baker held the highest place, perhaps, in the State. Not only was he a most useful lawyer, but also a Christian gentleman. Senator Harrison said that Governor Baker was one who found the successful and diligent practice of the law consistent with justice and truth. The light of kindness was in his heart and eye. He was genial, companionable, and his heart was ever a guest-chamber for the needy. In wit and story Governor Baker was most fertile, and the incidents which he had stored away in bis mind he told with great zest. His stories were free from vulgarity, and his wit never had tho sting of sarcasm or malice. The strength of the man was in his character, and not in brilliancy of intellect No matter whether he addressed an assembly from the bar or from the political stump, his words were backed and reinforced by the granite character of his honesty. He was an influential lawyer, and always searched his law books to the end. In all the pursuits which engaged his attention, either as a soldier, citizen, lawyer or legislator, calling into play different faculties of the wind, he won an honorable career. THE MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS. Upon tho motion of Senator McDonald, Chairman Woods appointed Messrs. Butler, Miller, Claypool and Fishback to prepare a suitable memorial, which is as follows: The death of Conrad Baker deprives the State of Indiana of one of its worthiest and most eminent citizens. On its bead-roll ot soldiers and

civilians tnere is not any name that occupies a more honorable or conspicuous place than his. Its history would be grossly incomplete without any mention of his life and public services. His name is written in the records of its courts as a lawyer and as a judge; it is on the journals of its Legislature; it may be found among the archives of its executive department, and it has an important place in its military annals. Wherever it appears the State has reason to be proud of a name that was never stained by a single vice or sullied by one dishonorable act; whose owner always and everywhere wore upon his breast the whole flower of a blameless life. The fierce light which beats upon every candidate for political distinction disclosed no spot upon his character; slander was disarmed by its purity and detraction was stricken dumb. Mortuary literature abounds in benevolent falsifications, but itcan be guilty of none in its unstinted praise of him. The most sensitive conscience is not strained in the commemoration of his virtues, or by the concealment of any shortcomings. It would be impossible to overrate him, for the highest eulogy is the simple truth. In every act and relation of his long and useful life the simplicity and goodness of his nature were manifested, as they were revealed in every lineament of his singularly benignant features. Asa lawyer he was conscientious, painstaking and industrious, a safe aud judicious counsellor, faithful to the interests of his clients and regardful of his own duties to the court He had the implicit confidence of the courts, because they knew he would not consciously mislead them, or suffer them to be misled. His forensic triumphs were due to the sincerity and earnestness, the skill and judgment with which he advocated and managed a cause, instead of the arts and devices of the orator, for which he indulged a quick and humorous contempt The bar of Indiana may have had more brilliant members, but it never had one more justly distinguished for the depth and accuracy of his professional learning. His legal period of service on the bench was long enough to demonstrate his peculiar fitness for the discharge of judicial functions, and to afford an unmistakable earnest of subsequent distinction as a judge, had he chosen to continue as one. Indiana has never had a wiser or better administration of its affairs than while he was its Governor. He gave to the administration of them a dignity and elevation of character which had its source in himself. In the field and at the head of his regiment he displayed a tranquil courage and a calm fortitude which never deserted him under any of the vicissitudes of war. A striking illus tration of these qualities is afforded by an act of his while he was Prevost Marshal General at Indianapolis. An unruly and belligerent mob of soldiers was threatening with destruction the office of a newspaper which had incurred their hostility. He went among them alone and at great personal risk, and stopped the assault as soon as it began. It was at a time when the union sentiment wa3 intense and proscriptive, and his interference in behalf of a newspaper that had become the object of its passionate fury was simply heroic. His sense of justice could not be subjugated by popular clamor, and it was broad enough to include those who were regarded by his associates and comrades as the enemies of his country. The patriotism which made him a soldier actuated him as a citizen, and it never degenerated into mere partisanship. In his social and domestic life the virtues which marked his professional and public careerhad their counterpart. The ‘‘honor, love, obedience and troops of friends” which, according to the poet, “should accompany old age,” have followed him to the edge of the grave, and attest the universal and heartfelt esteem in which he was held. He has left a fragrant memory and the precious legacy of a good example, which through many years that are yet unborn, will stimulate and encourage the virtuous efforts of those who have known and survived him. What Antony said of the dead Brutus is applicable to Conrad Baker: life was gentle; and the elements bo mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ‘This was a man!’ ” Noble C. Butler, Solomon Claypool, W. H. H. Miller, John M. Butler, William P. Fishbacik. Committee. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL. The funeral services will be conducted at tho family residence to-day at 10 o’clock, and the rej mains will bo taken to Evansville to-night and be interred to-morrow. The Governor, State officers and court officials, besides a number of leading attorneys and citizens, will accompany the remains. The pall-bearers will be Judge Gresham, Judge Woods, Senator Harrison, Noble C. Butler, Oscar B. Hord, Thomas 11. Sharpe and Silas T. Bowen. The Tippecanoe Club, of which ho was a member, will meet this morning at 9 o'clock in the Council Chamber, and attend tho funeral in a body. The doors of all the State offices were draped with crape, yesterday, in respect to tho memory of Hon. Conrad Baker, and his portrait, among those of Indiana's Governors in the State Library, was heavily draped in mourning. During the funeral services the State bnilding will be closed.
