Halt Colquitt has curdc-d the Democracy ! of Creoixia that he I a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate. Senator Colquitt's term expire. on the 3d of next March. Th.? oM miniate; -Senator, rale and emaciated. does not look as though he could live out another term If he should be chosen for six more years by the Georgia Legislature. For two years now Senator Colquitt has been taken to and from and about the Capitol In an Invalid's chair, lie cannot walk. Some organic trouble has so Impaired his locomotion and reduced . his physical strength that he can scarcely turn over his body. Senator Colquitt Is one of the purest and best men in public life. He will be sixty years old next month. He was a major In the Mexican war, was a colonel In the confederate army during the rebellion and won Ms way to a brigadier generalship py gallantry. He has had a long and brilliant service In public life, coming up through the Georgia Legislature to the governorship of that State and serving in the lower house of Conirresa before he wa inducted Into the United States Senate in lrX3. Senator Colquitt has boen a minister and a temperance orator. He was one of those who led the temjx?rance crusade In the btate of watermelons a few years ago and secured actual prohibition, and finally Implanted local option upon a safe footing. Georgia's three greatest statesmen in the la-st quarter of a century were during the closing years of their career confirmed invalids, anil were wheeled about upon the noors of Congress and through the corridors of the Capitol In invalid chairs. First, there was that great and brainy little man. Alexander H. Stephens, who was the mot potential power In the House during a period of many years, and up to about a decade ago. when he died. He was a puny little man, and was unable to walk during his last two or three or possibly four years' service in the House. He was once a brilliant orator, and was wise in party leadership and nonpartisan legislation. When he addressed the House a page would wheel his chair down into the semicircle in front of the Speaker's desk. Here the little old man would pipe out with his weak and highkeyed voice words which were eagerly CjU8"nt up by the nrat leaders on both Bides of the chamber. Members flocked about him like boys listening to a parent's story, or examining some great curio. Yey member of the House treated him with the greatest posslbls deference. He could speak whenever he wished, and his time was extended without limit. To keep up the succession of Georgia Invalidism in Congress "Uncle Joe" Urown. the great railroad magnate and millionaire, became a confirmed invalid two years before ha retired from the Senate, which was not many months since. Strange, but he was wheeled around the Senate in the saT-ft Bort of chair and occupied about the sa v position on the floor of the chamber whl- h now characterize Senator Colquitt. If Sei.atnir Co,flultt should not be re-elected there will no doubt b? a shudder constantly passing over his successor and Senator Gordon, who will fear that the hand of Fate will emlte them into that Invalid's chair. NEW SYSTC3I OF TAXATION. Interesting Report from n Xew Zealand Consul A Ilarilral Reform. WASHINGTON. March 16. .John D. Conroily, United Ftates consul at Auckland. N. Z., has sent to the Department of State an Interesting report on the results of the new system of taxation practiced In that country, and which Is similar to the Income and land tax so much discussed in the United States. The consul begins with the declaration that in the matter of taxation laws New Zealand excels, as compared "With the other Australasian colonies, and perhaps with many older countries. The consul says: "in a very short time the methods of taxation have been almost entirely changed always a most hazardous undertaking:, because of the tendency to disturb existing value and disarrange business enterprises. Here reforms have been Introduced which revolutionize the old system without affecting, at least to any appreciable extent, existing interests. The most determined opposition to the "new taxation" came from the moneyed institutions. It was foun.?l. however, as soon as the new system became law and was thoroughly established and fully understood, that, instead of involving the colonv in ruin. It had exactly, the contrary effect. The credit of the colony In London (which Is, of course, the center of financial' operations so far as the colonies are concerned) Increased to an unprecedented degree. New Zealand's credit Is better to-day in the .London money market than is that of any other colony In Australasia." The report assumes to show that the purpose of the government has been to relieve "the weaklings" from the burden of taxation and place It on the shoulders of those better 'able to bear It. The effort, says the consul, has succeeded, and it has been appreciated and the government rewarded by the largest majority known In recent years. The new scheme of taxation, briefly stated by Consul Connolly, is. flrst, a graduated land tax. The property tax was repealed in 1S31. having proved to be a grievous burden. All Improvements on land up to $15,0"0 were exempt: all above were taxed. The deduction of mortgages and of Improvements to this amount rendered very many owners of land exempt from land tax. In addition to the ordinary land tax a graduated tax is levied, and for this all Improvements are deducted, but an owner Is net allowed to make any deductions for mortgages owing by him. and he has not to Include in his return any mortgages owing to him. This tax is only laid uoon lands exceeding in value $23.0(A less "improvements, and ranges from U penny to I pence per pound sterling. Absentee landlords are taxed 2j per cent. In addition, and this Is considered justifiable, as there ire many large owners living in K.ngland Jrawing large incomes from the colony without recompense. There is also an Income tax. to which then are many exemptions. For instance, ill Incomes from mcrtgarr?s rnd rents from .and or produce cf land derived by the Dwner or occupier are exemnt. Tho result Is that only a rmall proportion of th" po?h p.iv th1- tax. which, though conceded to be Just. 15 regarded with averjdon. owlni' :o its inquisitorial character. Close scrutiny ? th lists has been repaid by many adiit'ons. The graduate 1 tax cn land values over fTS.njq was Intended to co-npel possessors ?f !-rTa f-stntr? or speculative holders to ubdivlde and offer the Hnd for settlement Th consul says it 13 hiving the desired effect, and many of the Immense estates ar" rw'r.tr offered t th government at their lax values. whd others are beinj cut up (:i 1'r.rias and oiTercd at auction. px-:a:il nivnit hauhoh.

Senator Davis, a member of the committee on foreign relations, concurs in the view of Mr. Edmunds and believes that the rirrhts of the United States to Parl river harbor are secure whether the treaty Is abrogated or not. Protest ARnltmt Imported SlnprerH. WASHINGTON. March 1C Superintendent Stumps, of the Bureau of Immigration, received to-day, through Dr. Senner, the Immigration commissioner at New York, a protest from Gt-orse Ganz. the secretary of the Chorus Singers' Protective Association, against the landing of a number of chorus singers expected to arrive In New York tomorrow from England. The chorus is alleged to have been engaged by Mr. D'Oyle Carte, under contract for the performance of "Eutopia," which begins a season on the evening of the 2Sth Inst. It is stated that there are now twenty-five chorus singers out of employment in New York, whose business would be injured by the importation of these contract sinjjprs, and. further, that their landing would be a violation of the alien contract lalor law. In response to this protest Superintendent Stump thl3 afternoon telegraphed Dr. Senners as follows: "If It is ascertained that each chorus singer sings for a livelihood and possesses cultured talent fhe should be admitted. If selected for this performance, and singing is not her regular means of support, she should not be landed." The Frankfort Postmnstornlilo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, March 1C Hoosier Democrats la Washington are looking with considerable suspicion upon the delay in th2 appointment of a Democratic postmaster at Frankfort. The appointment has been hanging fire for many weeks. It was reported some time ago that Marvin would be apjoInted, but the delav indicates that the ccr.test 13 not yet ended. It Is reported that Thomas J. Smith, the soldier candidate, is not without hope. The farm:rs who patronize the office are making a quiet and somewhat effective effort for Shields Fisher. In congressional circles ami about the Capitol generally and Postofflce Department It. has been remarked during the past few days that editor Drown, of the Frankfort Cr?fcent, might be the dark hors?. In any event t'ae delay is a sure Indication that the lucky man has not been decided upon. Cleveland Avretl l- Tlirentn. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, March 16.

They have pelted train crews of the C, II. & I), with stones and clubs and had things their own way In the edge of town, where their camp fires have been burnin.tr all night long. The woods rinir with their ribald sons and deviltry. The conduct of the "hobos" has been rather connived at until to-day when it is likely they have done enough to drive them out of the country. A lon.cr train of hogs was standing In the yards, destined for the Cincinnati market to-day, wnen a number of tramps made a raid on It. As they passed alons the line of cars each man would grab a hog by the ear and with a sharp knife slash off an ear close to the head. This was kc?t up until the men had an armload of plgrs ears, when the terrible squealing of the helpless swine in the car3 attracted the trainmen. The tramps then beat a retreat to their headquarters, where they are banqueting to-night on roast p!g ears. SOLD irr.o HOUSES. Lnckcj'H Four I)n Sales Amount to Nearly $-10,000. RICHMOND. Ind..

AVAS EOT DESECRATED L?o Decides La Madeline Church Need Xot Be Reconsecrated. Pauwclls Was a Cruel Anarchist, According to His Widow The KussoGerman Treaty Adoj)ted. LONDON, March 16. The correspondent of the Dally News at Paris says that telegrams have been exchanged between Cardinal Richard, Archbishop of Paris, and the Vatican anent tho explosion and the death of Pauwells In the Church of the Madeline yesterday. It was thought In rome quarters that, according to the rule of th church, the shedding of blood in tha sacred edifice would necessitate a reconsecratlon. This was the reason for the telegrams. The correspondent adds that the Pope has decided that the church was not desecrated. Ills Holiness says that Pauwells- may have ertercd the structure only to seek shelter from the rain, or that he was seeking sttcneth in the holy ediflca to enable him to abandon his evil courses. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris says: "In an Interview with the widow of Pauwells, the suppos3d Anarchist, w"ho lost hl3 life by the prsmature explosion of a bomb, with which It is alleged he Intended to blow up the "Church of the Madeline. Madame Pauwells said that her husband had be.n an industrious worklngman until he became imbued with anarchistic ideas, when he became cruel. She left him because he was always preparing explosives, and she feared that an explosion would occur at her home. Madame Pauwells further said that the death of her husband was a mercy, because he would never have rited until he had killed many victims. The answers of Madame Pauwells to the questions put to her by the interviewsr compelled the suspicion that Pauwells was once in the pay of the French and Belgium police. Idenfttr of the Itom? Thrower. PARIS, March 16. The police of this city are now convinced that the man passing as Rabardy, the author of the bomb outrages in the Rue St. Jacques and in the hotel on the Rue St. Denis, and Pauwells, the Anarchist, who was killed yesterday afternoon, are one and the same individual. The bombs or infernal machines used in all these cases were of the same class. The individual wanted by the police for the two outrages previous to that of yesterday lacked one of his front teeth, and the man blown to pieces In the church also lacked a front tooth. PASSED I1Y TUB REICHSTAG. The ItuHHO-Germnn Trenty Adopted Caprlvl and Count UUmnrrk. BERLIN, March 16. The Reichstag finally passed the Russo-German commercial treaty to-day by a large majority. When the debate on the treaty was resumed. Heir Hammersteln. Conservative, said that the treaty, instead of becoming a milestone in German history, as described by the Baron Marschal von Biebersteln, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, would be a gravestone Inscribed: "Here lies German husbandry, which will not long be survived by German Industry." Ilerr Sonnenberg, anti-Semite, described the treaty as a "domestic Jena." To this Herr Lleber rejoined that he rather likened it to the victories of 1870-71. During the course of the debate Count Herbert Bismarck said that the remark that "the way to Constantinople is through the Brandenberg gate." did not emanate from his father who, according to the Count, always held that Germany had no interest in the Mediterranean or in the East- The remark, he added, emanated from the present Chancellor. To this Chancellor Von Caprlvl replied: "I have always attributed the remark to a Russian source. I beg Count Bismarck to better Inform himself before he again accuses me." Count Herbert answered the Chancellor by saying that he only spoke In the Interest of historical truth, adding that General Von Caprivi's attack upon him was uncalled for. After the vote had been taken. Dr. Thlelmann announced that the treaty would go in force on March 2u, and then the Reichstag adjourned for the holidays. AVhut Mr. Stead Say About I'm. LONDON.
