Under the new lax law the assessors will begin to assess on the First Monday in April as usual. The new provisions of ihc assessment law are as follows : The present township assessors will continue in office until the expiration of their terms, the first Mdhday in April, ■1894, but they will be ineligible for a spethid term. Their successors will ' be elected at the-township elections on the first Monday in April, 1894, and will not be eligible for re-election. All assessors and deputies must take an oath that they will assess all property at its true cash value, and when they make their returns they will also file an oath with the county aud- ' itor that they have assessed all property .at Its true cash valtte. :r~ A deputy assessor must make his returns to the assessor appointing him.

The first assessment of real estate ’ snider this act will be made this year, and every four years ^hereafter. The office of county assessor is created who shall hold his office for four years, and shall not be eligible for reelection. He shall be elected at the general election in 1892, but on the first Monday in April, l£91, the board .of county commissioners will fill the vacancy, lie must-be a resident freeholder of the county for not less than five years before the date of such election; must give bond to the amount of $5,000; compensation $3 per day for the time actually employed, i The auditor shall turn over to the county assessor all returns of real and personal property made by the township assessors.

Appeals may be taken from the county board of review to the state board of tax commissioners.

A stale beard ot tax commissioners is created to consist of the auditor of State, secretary, governor and two tax commissioners appointed by the governor. The two tax commissioners are to receive i&OOO as salary and fCOQ Tor traveling expenses each. The state board of tax commissioners replaces the bid state board of |qugii?atlon and additional powers pre granted to the new board. It shall be the duty of the two tax commissioners to especially look after corporations, and see that none escape taxation.

Surplus. It has been but two years since a Democratic Administration committed to the Republicans not only a constantly augmenting surplus in the treasury, but the problem of checking its annual increase so as to relieve our fiscal system of the evils of redundant and excessive revenues. Instead of an increasing we are to-day confronted with a vanishing surplus which promises to take its final departure within the next twelve mouths. Under Cleveland, revenues were greatly in excess of expenditures, and filled the Treasury coffers with an annual surplus of more lhau one hundred millions. Under llarrisou, expenditures exceed revenues, and the menace of a Treasury deficiency i6 imminent. Under Cleveland, the annual increase of appropriations was normal, healthy, and withiu the limits of judicious economy. Uuder llarrisou, expenditures have been riotously extravagant, leaping withiu two years to more than one billion of dollars, and in excess of the appropriations of the last Congress of nearly two hundred millions of dollars. Let us return to the propitious policy which controlled and dominated the legislation of the Democratic party and which wrung from Mr. Blaine a tribute to its leaders when lie declared that “during the long period of Ibeir domination they guarded the Treasury with uik ceasing vigilance agaiust every fora of corruption aud every attempt at extravagance.”

Big “E” Eoeuomj. This is tliie kiiul the Press finds. Call it what you please, it beats the former Republican - practices. We shall lake great pleasure in the near future of showing the difference be* tween the Republican and Democratic allowances. We do not want to speak of men out of office, but those men refuse to choke off the editor of the Press, and allow him to start the ball which the Democrat will keep rolling till the taxpay er sees all sides iff it. And docs the Press know that Ihe only republican on the present Board of Commissioners has growled jvory count because the Democrats have cut ui just claims to $ reasonable alloyrance?

Republicans Seek t« “Divide and Conquer.” The Republicans have been fighting for some time on the paralled lines of high tariff and the “Bloody Shirt,” or the “Rebel Brigadies.” Year after year they have been growing weaker oil the tariff issue. The Democratic Workingmen of New Jersey and New England were not stampeded by yells, oP'J'ruo Trade Wagee,”aud the Republican farmers of the Northwest gave increasing evidence of discontent at being compelled by their chiefs to fight agaiusl their own interests. The farther the war was receded into the past the less reliance could be placed upon the issue of the “Solid South” and the “Rebel Brigadiers.” This, however, was tlec only thing that saved them in 1888. They knew the feelings oi the Northwest too well 4o trust the tariff. Thcv ignored that except to point to the Mills bill as the work ot Southern men, and they worked the aectloua! issue for all it was worth. By a very small majority they got New York and with it the Presidency. In the House they won only a majority of three without the new States and eight with them. The victory was large enough to give them power; it was small enough to warn them that it was their last unless they could change the issues. But the party could not drop the tariff issue. In return for campaign funds in 1888 it had promised certain interests additional “protectioi).” The McKinley bill had to be passed. But knowing the uncertainty of the tariff issue for future use the Republicans coupled with the tariff bill the force bill, whose object was primarily to keep the negroes of the Northern States voting the Republican ticket, and so keep the Republican paity in power iu five or six Northern States that they would never car

ry without the uegro vote, and secondaiily, to give the Republicans a chance to organic the House of Representatives as they organized the New Hampshire Legislature last wiuter, and to gamble with the Presidency just as the Connecticut Republicans are gambling with the Governorship. Then came the appeal to the people, and such a response as the people had not made before for half a century. The majority of eight won by the Republicans in 1888 indicated a very even divission of public sentiment The anti-Republican majority of over 150 in 1890 gave evidence of a due aud universal repugnance of the people to the Republican party. The Republicans found that the tariff reliance,^heady weak, had gone to pieces uude^roem. The workingmen of the East and the farmers of the West had both rebelled against it. The sectional cry, which had saved Hie Republicans iu the Northwest in 1888 was worthless in 1890 Mr. Reed's administration of the Speakership was alternately cursed and rediculed all over the country, and except in his own district, wherever Mr. Reed spoke in the campaign of 1890, he made Democratic votes. Republican protests in and out of Congress had put the force bill in peril. There was no hope for the Republicans uuless they could change the issues. At the first session of the late Congress they had passed a bill for the greatly increased coiuage of silver dollars. The} would not have returned to the subject at the second session but for the defeat they had suffered between the two sessions on the tariff and the force bill. They knew the Democrats were united aud iuvincible on the issues of low taxation, Governmental economy, home rule, and full and free deliberation in the House of Representatives. On those issues they had met the solid and enthusiastic Democratic party and been routed. They knew that if* they encountered the same united and enthusiastic party again on the same issues their party would cease to exist. They brought forward the coiuage question at the second session of the lato Congress iu order to change the issue and introduce dissension iuto the Demociatic party. They knew that the Democrats held varying opiuinnsou the question of the free coinaue of silver. They knew1 that Mr. Cleveland was a menace to them and that he was opposed to free coinage, and they wanted to separate Mr, Cleveland from the Democratic party. They knew that on the tariff issue New Jersey, New York and three Southern New England States and Wisconsin aud Minnesota were safely Democratic, but that they would not support freo coinage. Now the question for Democrats to settle is this: Shall we fall iuto the Republican trap or not? Shall we allow them to cross to us and attack us within our own lines? Shall we drop the tariff issue, on which we are united and victorious, and pick up the coiuage issue, on which we are not united, and the eud of whicli is uncertain ? When the Deihocratic party is in l>osition of the Government it will deal wisely and promptly with tlie coiuage questiou. Until then it cannot affect the question at all. We have just won a tremendous victory on the issues of low tariff, home rule aud a representative Congress. Are we going to accomiucdalo the Republicans by dropping all these aud picking up some new issue that will give the Republicans more than an CTen chance ?

Without any exsgeration whatever, ami speaking with ail allowances, the laat Itepublican Congress was no better than the robbers of the people, the plunderers of the poor. Mouiite-banks and frce-booters could have done no more. No wonder the lowns, and other elections, are still going Democratic. The injured are seeking vengeance. Think of it! A thousand millions of the people’s hard-earned money, the larger poriion of It, entirely thrown away— avished on the rich and spent for the iieneflt of tjie rich

W. C. T. U. COLUMN: EDITED EY HRS. A0D1E WORTHAM FIELDS. “Gloryify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods.” “The first wealth is health; sickness is poor-spirited, it must husband its resources to lire. But health answers its own ends and has none to spare; runs over aud iuuudates the creeks and ineaduw-lande of other men’s necessity.”—Emerson. For lo! m human hearts unseen The Healer dwelletb still, And they who make His temple clean, The best subserve His will. —Whittier. The Department of Health aims to extend the revereut study of God’s health decalogue in its relatibn to the Iudividual, the Family, the Community. The methods include the study of the laws of health including their relation to food, dress, cleanliness, exercise, ventilatioii, aud the entire physical conduct of life; the circulation of books and leaflets; scientific lectures to mixed audiences; prices offered for essays in schools and colleges; and addresses by lady physicians. The thought of God acting on the machinery of the body is the most elevating that we can cherish, except the thought of his acting upon the make-up of the mind aud spirit; Hence, we can get a double benefit out of the direct sense of God as dwelling in the body, the teuiplj of the Holy Ghost, imparting to it holiness, wholesomeness, salubrity, harmony, happiness. And then that other higher sense of him as loviug us even a6 our father aud mother do, oiily with a force as much greater as he is more powerful, would ennoble life in a most practical way when applied to every breath aud heart beat. —F. E. Willard.

Vv UK& iuk filial fiiuiaa.no. Hygiene is pre-emintly a field in which the atoms count. It is a field, too, in which all can work. “I remember that a convivial friend of tniue went home one night, aud this dialogue occurcd between him aud his mother: “Where have you been ?—Everywhere." “Who was with yon ‘Everybody.” “What have you been drinking’?— “Everything.” “So the Christian voter returns from the election. “Where has he stood?—“Everywhere.” “For whom did he vote ?”—‘Everybody. “What did he vote for?”—‘Everything. • “He voted to abolish the saloon in Cambridge and to license it in Boston. He took the floor fur righteousness and yielded it to reciprocity. He stood aud faced political death for a protective tariff, and fled at the first fire when he stood for a protected home. lie has boxed the compass of political opinion, and sighs for more compasses to box. “I know where to find Citizen Silver or Citizcu Tin, or Citizen Wool, but where, oh, where is Citizen Christianity ? “You would expect him to say : “Gentlemen, I'll be with you on tin aud salt and silver, but duty on thing* must wait ou duty to mankind. “I’ll help you stimulate the tin industry, if you will stop stimulating the sin industry.” “Slums are the royal preserves of King Alcohol. “You would light the slums? Flash the light of conscience upon the slumberers of the church, and let Ged’s men go out and kill the king. “But the Christian voter is beset by difficulty—certainly, by the devil, the great original difficulty. “The present license system is the verw brilliant experiment of trying to bedeviMlie devil. “Here is the saloon problem at its lowest terms: Given—God, younder; here, John Flannigao, keeper of the only saloon in the world; John Smith, his customer; and John G. Woolley, a citizen and a Christiau. Shall that saloon contiuuc? Required—John Xi. Woolley’s duty. “It is electiou day. These three JoIhis compromise the population of the globe. John Flannigan goes into the booth and votes; License, yes; John Smith follows aud votes; License, yes. John Wolley takes his tarn and votes; License, no; and throws his vote away, for the population of the globe goes two to one in favor eff license, and John Flannigan will have his saloon anyway. “Yes, but I’ll be out of it. “When I meet John Smith’s wife 1 cau sav, I had uo part iu your husbands ru«n; and in the judgment I can look John Smith iu the face and declare, ‘You caunot say I did it’. Multiply Flannigan, Smith, and Woolley by millions and you will not change the principle of the solution. “In Minnesota, where 1- live, they peddle public conscience among saloons as they do here—it brings better prices with us. If your son goes to my state aud perishes back of the paintedsdoors of a lawful saloon, when you come there to hunt his body aud bring it back and lav it by you dead at home, I can say to you, I had no part in it; Could you say that, if my boy’s life goes out in your lawful saloons? “The licensed saloon ought to die, and I believe it will. “The couutry has gone without a moral character as long as it can. “The saloon is going, aud as it lies, dying among its bags of bloody gold, if it shall look up into our laces and whisper, ‘Another hundred millions of revenue for a single breath of life,’ each Christiau man ought to say, ‘No, down, down to hell aud say we sent thee thither’-"

Pimples, blotches and sores aud their cause is removed by Simmons Liver Regulator.

A Thousand Million. In the last Congress no one realized until after it was dead what a tremendous amount of money the Radical leaders were taking out of the Treasury. The total for the last session was orer fire hundred and twenty-fire millions—it is not yet possible to 6tate the exact amount that will be called for by all the bills that were passed. The total for the two years of the Fifty-first Congress is orer a thousand million. \ 'this is what comes of trying to get rid of the surplus wiithout reducing the tariff. The Republican idea is that so long as the money is taken out of the Treasury it doesn’t make *any difference how it is gotten out. The Radical leaders seem to think that it will help them in the Presidential contest next year to shoulder the responsibility of a Treasury deficit. They beliere that they hare rendered any material modification of the taViff by the, next Congress impossible, and that they will be able to dirirt the minds of the people from the tariff issue. __ It is a bold scheme, surely. It is a desperate scheme. If it does not result in the annihilation of the party attempting it, then we mistake the temper of the American people. It is a curious fact that none of the Republican leaders in Congress were willing to present the usual statement of appropriations at the end of the session. That was left to the* Democrats. Iu the House of Representatires Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, made a short speech setting forth the facts. Tariff Pictures. (Petersburg Press. Here is another one about the home prices of cereals. .The price‘of wheat iu eight farmiug States is 66 ceuts per bushel.

In eight manufacturing Stales 91 cents per bushell 38 per cent, higher in mauufacturiii States. And does not a bill to increal home manufacturing give a markJ for many bushels more of wheat Why, certainly!—New York Press. Does the Press know that it wa ever thus, even before the diys the robber tax ? Does it know th| tiie manufacturing states raise ie wheat and coru than the aga cultural, and that the freights make] big difference ? Does the Press knl that in free trade (?) England whj is higher than in protected Ameriu Docs it know that protected New Etl laud has a large number of abandon) farms? “Constancy, thou art jewel.” Last Friday eveuing, just as t gloomy, rainy night set in, foi tramps sought lodging in Petersbur; They went to Marshal Myers and quested hint to lock them in jail ovo1 night. They said they had lain ou four nights in the rain and cold, and' would rather go to jail for the night than to lie out agaiu. The marshal went tp Sheriff Slil well who refused them admittance to the jail, as he did notlknow whether they were not trying to help some one out of jail, and the tramps were then sent to Township trustee Smith who provided for them fbr the night. There hive been rather too many tramps about town for the last week or two. You may help some men, especially in politics, and too often they will desert you in your hour of sorest need. Warrick has said of such meu as will desert you : “When I see leaves drop from their trees in the beginning of Autumn, just such, thiuk I, is the friendship of the world. While the sap of maintenance lasts, my friends swarm in abundance; but, in the winter of my need, they leave me naked. He is happy who hath a true friend at his need, but he is more truly happy who hath uo need of a friend.” Assistant Clerk Crawley, of the Indiana House of Representatives, has balanced his books and duds that the expenses of the lower branch of the Fifty-seventh General Assembly aggregated $54,503,83, which isoverlll, 000 less than two years ago, when the House cost the Stale $66,226,11. The Senate’s cost this session was about $37,000, against $42,000 in 1889. When the statesmen see these figures they will wish there had been enough more junkets to have used up the rest of the $105,000 appropriated to run the two bodies. Gas. Palmer in the U. S. Senate will make 47 Republicans, 39 Democrats aud two Independents, Kyle and Peffer. In party complexion the Senate stands, 40 straight Republicans, 38 straight Democrats and ten Independents, which are Kyle, Peffer, Irby, Plumb, Pettigrew, Paddock, Wolcott, Teller, Stewart aud Jones. This Independent pary will generally rote with the Republicans, especially ou fiuaucial question.

Now the little President threatens to close the ports of the U. S- against Germany unless that government raises the embargo on American pork. He has a legal righr to do so, we suppose, and we have no objection, not being iu any way concerned. But it seems to a hoosier like the semi-ero-bargos on German products might be used as a plea by the Germans in urging their side of the question. A half dozem strongly Republican towns of Maine went Democratic in the recent election. Why were these things so ? Czar Riid’i town had to have an other electiou. It used to be largely ' Republican. Wurn will Petersburg trot out her pamjidates for the town offices?
