Taking Sec. 12, of Art. XIII, of the . proposed Constitution in the light of . these decisions, can we arrive at any . other conclusion than that the great . majority of the Chinese will escape . the payment.of every tax whatever. There are very few of them who own . property which is taxable. Then, under that section of the Constitution they will be exempt from paying poll tax, because they will come under the head of ‘Indians not taxed,” and that class is specially. exempted. It isto b3 presumed that the Convention.in putting words into the Constitution used ‘them in their.ordinary legal sigaiication, and not in a narrow,contracted sens*, If this is the case, then they must have . used the word ‘‘Iuilian,”’ as a GENBRIC term, and im its broadest, legal acceptation, instead of as a specific term in its more contracted sense referring to the native ieecians Indians. Whether Mr. Cross during his remarks on this matter willfully misrepresented it, or whether he spoke . ) from ignorance or not, can inno manner ailect the question. The decisions of the Supreme Court are square on the point, and can be seen by any one taking the trouble to examine them.

Eprror Transcript :—A wail from the tramps, is about what’ the proposed new Constitution sounds like to old éars who have heard such things before. Why did they spend so much time and people’s meney in such a long drawn and linked up string, when they could have put the whole thing in asingle bologaa? A calt for a general division of property is about the only amendment to our present Coustitution. Ain’t it about time that this frog music should cease to alarm us? If we-can’t run this Governmental machine without intporting law makers, it is about time to insist that they shall have a a iacahanmemcneiciee >.>. On the War Path. A lively episode oceurred. at the Union Hotel Saturday night shortly after George Rose-of You Bet stepped up to the clerk's desk and asked to be shown to a bed. Mr. Blimaun, a sewing machine agent who was talking to Ned Bowers, the night clerk, seeing that the applicant was somewhat the worse for liquor replied, saying they {could not give him accommodations. Atthis Rose started out of the office, and upon reaching the sidewalk drew a revolver from his pocket and stooping over fired a shot’ through. the wooden portion of the door, close to the sill. The ballet struck a panel of the ward-robe close to Bowers’ and Blimann’s heads, and glancing . ™ striick the casing of the panel from which it rebounded, goingback in nearly the same direction it came. from, where it struck a newspaper that an employe of the establishment was-reading; and then fell to the flogr,, A young man who witnessed the shooting from the oatside of the building, says that Rose imm.* Aliately afte: firing pulled his coat collar up and started up Main, Commercial and Pine streeté on a run. He stopped in at Beckman’s saloon 9 o'clock, spectability. The next move (if the scum of the political cesspool from which emanates this noxious vapor makes this dose stick,) will be to appoint commissioners to examine and regulate the private business of every one whé is supposed to fbe makng a respectable living.

Taking Sec. 12, of Art. XIII, of the . proposed Constitution in the light of . these decisions, can we arrive at any . other conclusion than that the great . majority of the Chinese will escape . the payment.of every tax whatever. There are very few of them who own . property which is taxable. Then, under that section of the Constitution they will be exempt from paying poll tax, because they will come under the head of ‘Indians not taxed,” and that class is specially. exempted. It isto b3 presumed that the Convention.in putting words into the Constitution used ‘them in their.ordinary legal sigaiication, and not in a narrow,contracted sens*, If this is the case, then they must have . used the word ‘‘Iuilian,”’ as a GENBRIC term, and im its broadest, legal acceptation, instead of as a specific term in its more contracted sense referring to the native ieecians Indians. Whether Mr. Cross during his remarks on this matter willfully misrepresented it, or whether he spoke . ) from ignorance or not, can inno manner ailect the question. The decisions of the Supreme Court are square on the point, and can be seen by any one taking the trouble to examine them.

Eprror Transcript :—A wail from the tramps, is about what’ the proposed new Constitution sounds like to old éars who have heard such things before. Why did they spend so much time and people’s meney in such a long drawn and linked up string, when they could have put the whole thing in asingle bologaa? A calt for a general division of property is about the only amendment to our present Coustitution. Ain’t it about time that this frog music should cease to alarm us? If we-can’t run this Governmental machine without intporting law makers, it is about time to insist that they shall have a a iacahanmemcneiciee >.>. On the War Path. A lively episode oceurred. at the Union Hotel Saturday night shortly after George Rose-of You Bet stepped up to the clerk's desk and asked to be shown to a bed. Mr. Blimaun, a sewing machine agent who was talking to Ned Bowers, the night clerk, seeing that the applicant was somewhat the worse for liquor replied, saying they {could not give him accommodations. Atthis Rose started out of the office, and upon reaching the sidewalk drew a revolver from his pocket and stooping over fired a shot’ through. the wooden portion of the door, close to the sill. The ballet struck a panel of the ward-robe close to Bowers’ and Blimann’s heads, and glancing . ™ striick the casing of the panel from which it rebounded, goingback in nearly the same direction it came. from, where it struck a newspaper that an employe of the establishment was-reading; and then fell to the flogr,, A young man who witnessed the shooting from the oatside of the building, says that Rose imm.* Aliately afte: firing pulled his coat collar up and started up Main, Commercial and Pine streeté on a run. He stopped in at Beckman’s saloon 9 o'clock, spectability. The next move (if the scum of the political cesspool from which emanates this noxious vapor makes this dose stick,) will be to appoint commissioners to examine and regulate the private business of every one whé is supposed to fbe makng a respectable living.
