NadatlieL(ily

On the Second Page cf this issue appears the first installment of H. Rider Haggard's latest story, Nada the Lily.

As a Literacy Treat Mr. Haggard has furnished something rare.

As a Story of Love It lias not been surpassed by this author.

As a Story of Vengeance We have something powerful, fierce, yet wonderfully interesting.

Do not fail to read this wonderful story from the beginning.

DECORATION DAY.

It was the Inspiration of patriotism that ilxed ono day of the year to clothe with beauty and fragrance the graves of the brave men who died to maintain the noblest freedom of earth. Decoration Day is now universally observed throughout the loyal States from Eastern to Western sea, 'and far ofl lu the sunny South, whore once rebellion raged In deadly strife, the graves of the fallen soldiers of the Gray are not forgotten.

It is now the rule for the soldiers of both the North and the South to decorate the graves of their foea of the late fraternal conflict when such are within reaoh, and thus the heroio warriors of the land teach the fullness of restored union and brotherhood. They have, as a body, been the teachers of peace, the upholders of law and order and illustrated the noblest citizenship, and the tribute of one day of the year consecrated by law to revere the memory of the soldier dead, will keep green the crimsoned cost of the free institutions we enjoy.

The veterans of the war will meet in thinned ranks to strow the graves of their fellow-comrades with flowers. The ravages of over a quarter of a century of peace have called ten-fold more to the dreamless home of the dead than all the flame of shot and bayonet, and many of those who survive to lead the patriotic •ceremonies tire dimmed In oye, bowed in form and deeply silvered in crowh. But while there shall be veterans to answer roll call on Decoration Day, the flowers of spring will perfume the graves of the dead and even future generations will come with the heaity trlbxkte of gratitude to those who rescued the Kepublte from dismemberment and dedicated It anew to uusullied freedom.

STATE TAXES.

The uew tax law Is not aroing to be the least important issue in thecampaigu of 1892. It is urged by tho Democrats in defense of tho law that it insures an even assessment in which the corporations must bear their fair share of the burden of taxation. Let us see about this. In 1890 the total assessment of all tho property in the state was $857,674,387. In 1801 It was $1,249,$07,899,-an increase -of $391,700,055. Of this increase not to exceed $100,000,000 is on the corporations of the state, and of that sum $91,016,899 is on the railroads. The remaining Increase of $291,709,055 is on the farms, town lots and personal property of the property owners of the state. This much for the assessment now for tho taxes.

In 1890, with a total assessment of $857,674,387 the state levied a tax for state purposes of 12 cents on each $100, At that rate the revenue was $1,029,209.26 In 1891 the Assessment was $1,249,38$, 442, and with the tax at the same rate as 185*0 would bring a revenue of $1,499,769. 47, an increase of $470,500.21, or over 45 per cent in the year's taxes, and this loes not include the levy for the use of the benevolent and reformatory institu Hons of the state, which swells the increase of taxes over 1890 to nearly 125 per cent*

In short, with an assessment in 1891 nearly $400,000,000 in excess of that of .1^90 the people are ccui polled to pay at the same rate of taxation for state par* poses $470,500 more than they did last year, and if the additional six cents for the benevolent and reformatory institutions are added the increase is ,220,444, or 125 per cent* If the tax law is intend* ed to bring about a uniform assessment, aud that uniform assessment increases the value of the property in tlse state 45 per cent it stands to reason the tax rate should be decreased in proportion to the increased valuation. But each is not

the case. The people are compelled to pay 45per cent more money for taxes this year at the same rate tbsn last year, and if the benevolent and reformatory institutions are included the increase is 125 per cent. Of this sum not more than 25 per cent of the increase is borne by the corporations about whom so much has been said in extenuation of the law. But it makes no difference who pays the tax. Even if the corporations paid it all that fact would be no excuse for the reckless extravagance of the party which has had control of the legislative branches of the state government for the last ten-years.

Wl LL IT BE HARRISON

Two weeks ago there was every indication that the president would be renominated at Minneapolis on the first ballot, If not by acclamation. There was every reason to believe this, and no valid reason has yet been given why it should not be so. His administration has been not" only an honest one, but has been in harmony with the business interests of the country. It has been tried thoroughly In diplomacy and its foreign policy was above criticism regardless of party bias, while from a Republican standpoint it is certainly above reproach. But, unfortunately for the president, when he took possession of the White House there was not a snfiicient number of offices to go around among the aspirants to public favor, and in the distribution of the spoils he made many enemies. True he make his selections with a view to the efficiency of the service and they have given general satisfaction to all but the disappointed who are now making the fight against him. Failing to find a man among the many available names in the party who would be willing to go before the convention against the president the spoilsmen as a last resort fell back upon Secretary Blaine, and in spite of his declination made several months ago Insist upon nominating him. It is adesperate garrfe, and there are -.very few who believe it can succeed. Nor should it succeed. If there is any honor in a nomination for a second term the president has fairly earned it. The campaign must be'fought on his administration, no matter who is nominated, and President Harrison is fairly entitled to the leadership.

The sentiments given below are from a man who now carries $50,000.00 Life Insurance. He has been unusually successful in business yet he considers it wise to carry a large line of Life Insurance.*' An intelligent agent gave me two months to find a valid reason against life insurance. I faithfully looked Into the matter, and found it impossible to offer a single objection that this agent could not utterly demolish with ease. I thus uecame convinced that every man who can possibly pay a premium should bo insured, and the amount of the insurance carried should only be limited by the ability to pay the premiums." Insure now in the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York.
