Gilman Heard From.

Senator Gilman has secured the passage of a bill that exempts certain kinds of church property from taxation. Havn’t looked the jnatter up, Billy, but expect it is a boss good thing. Billy keeps a sharp lookout for the small things, but,is wonderfully blind about the big things. He ought to know that passenger fares on our railways are three cents a mile and freights twice what th-ey ought to be, but we haven’t seen him move to change them. The inconsistency of his conduct can only be explained upon the theory that he is one of those unfortunately constituted souls, who will strain at a gnat, but can swallow a sawmill. We believe we have that quotation right.
