The doctor found ‘ geveral cuts onthe lady’s head, and she stated that the cause of the cuts was by she interfering in a quarrel between her husband and Dan Tuttle. Mrs, Mann says that Tuttle struck her with a rock, and she swofe out a warrant, in Justice Davis’ court, charging him with an assault to do great bodily injury. Mr. Mann also caused Tuttle’s arrest, charging him with assault and battery. It appears that the trouble grew out of soine dispute between the children of the two families. Disabled by ‘Vacemation. Miss Louisa Guscetti, a Nevada City young lady who a year ago went to San Francisco to reside, was vaccinated at the time of the small-pox scare in that city. Iver since that time her arm has béen in a bad condition, causing her great pain and being much swollen. At a consultation of surgeons held this week it was decided that a severe surgical operation was necessary to save her life, but whether’ the operation in question involves amputation of the arm or nut the letter conveying the intelligence of Miss Guscetti’s unfortunate condition does not state. Not at all Complicated. The Transcript reporter yesterday showed Sheriff Lord an article in the Tidings (republished elsewhere) and asked him if he had an idea of being a candidate for County Clerk or Treasurer. ‘Youcan say, if you wish,’’) was the answer, “‘that I will not. If I am candidate for anything it will be for the nomination by the Republicans for Sheriff.’ Mr. Lord’s nomination for that position would be followed by his re-election by a bigger m*~jority than he received last election. No public officer ever gave the people a better administrition, and the people all admit it. Postponed Till dune 4th. The Pythian picnic that was advertised to take place today at Glenbrook Park has been postponed on. account ofthe unfavorable condition of the weather till Monday, June 4th, upon which date the Knights propose to introduce a number of interesting attractions in addition to those already advertised. In fact, the pienic will be all the more enjoyable because of the: postponement.

Among the great many assurances of health afforded us by the regular discharge of the bodily functions, none is more important and teliable than that which regularity of the bowels gives us. If there is any— even a temporary interruption of this— “the liver and the stomach suffer conjointly with inactive organs, and still greater mischief ensues if relief is not : ae ily obtained. A laxative, above gil cavil on the score of mineral composition or violent effect, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, approved by the medical profession and a most important-item-of the-family-materia_medica of American households. It is botanic, painless in action, and if persisted in, effectual. The stomach and liver, in no less degree and no less promptly and thoroughly than the bowels, are regulated and toned by it, and it is an admirable defense against malarial and rheumatic ailments, and a benign _remedy.for kidney complaints, nervDr. Be-San-Ko In his new discovery for Consumption, succeeded in a open which is acknowledged by. all to simply marvelous. It is exceedingly pleasant to the taste, perfectly harmless, and does not sicken. In all cases Seige’ Chott be en ene The auditorium of the Theater was crowded to the doors yesterday afternoon with citizens assembled to wit-ness and listen to the graduating ex-. ercises of the Nevada City High School class for ’88, the members. of which are the following, their relative standing being shown in the order in which they are named: Minnie Lester, Nettie Hackley Mollie Rosenthal. Jeunie White, May Ashburn, George Legg, Louie Woodruff, Maggie Hutchinson, Rachel Morgan, Nettie Breed, Flora Miller, Thomas Goyne, Bert Dickerman, Minnie McNeeley, Maggie Skahaen, Horace Rolfe, Orlena Arnhart, Joseph Stenger, Ella Leonard, Lucy Hurst. & The stage was-tastefully but not elaboratety decorated with ferns afd’ evergreens. The class motto, ‘‘Wisdom Conquers All Things’ (an erroneous assertion, by the way), was wrought in letters of gold on a black background. Shortly after 2 o’clock the members of the class appeared upon the stage, making their entrance to the music of a march performed upon the piano by Prof. Muller, who also officiated gs director of the vocal music, There were also upon the stage Prof. T. B. Gray, Principal of the city schools and Prof. B. F. Hedden, oné of the High School teachers. Prof. Gray in opening the exercises explained that Miss Nettie Breed, who was upon the program for an instrumental solo, was entitled by her standing to take part in the literary exercises; but that owing to the rule of the Board of Education that there shall be but ten essayists, she consented to play and give the tenth place to Miss Flora Miller whohad like her 92.6 per cent. ; The following program was then carried out and won the highest enconiums for the excellence of the various numbers. The songs showed careful training by the director, and the essays were of superior literary merit.-George Legg’s oration on ‘‘The.

The final essay was Mis3 Lizzie Richurds’ ‘‘Farewell from the Sctoul,”’ in which that young lady said: ‘Dear Friends, schoolmates no more. To me has been given the privilege of saying to you a tew words of parting, in behalf of the schoolmates whom you leave behind. We are still treading the paths which you lave trod. Look back aleng our ranks and you will see among us represeasentatives ofevery step you have taken during the eleven years of your school-life. Now you will leave us. We shall continue totread the familiar paths, but the places that have known you will know you no more. Your seats will not be vacant, but you will not be there. We shall miss you. Day after day we have met you, and our associations have been most pleasant. Now, twenty bright faces have gone from among us; twenty happy ones have left us. But those who have been with you in the High School will miss you most. We have seen your work. Tous your society has been an enjoyment, your example an inspir‘ation. Next year we will step into the places you are now leaving and which wecan hardly hope to. fill as well. But your untiring zeal and great success will show us the way and give us hope. We, teachersand schoolinates, shall miss you, and shall anxiously watch your career. May it be asource of enjoyment to us and a blesssing to you.” :s The graduates were at the conclusion of their respective exercises presented with many. floral testimonials of esteem, some of the offerings being quite elaborate and handsome. This custom has fallen into disuse in most of the leading schools of the country, and should in the opinion of many who saw to what an extreme it was carried yesterday be hereafter tabooed by the Nevada City Board of EducaB. N. Shoecraft of the City Board of Education then presented. the diplomas, delivering the following eloquent address in so doing: “Young ladies and gentlemen of the graduating class—I congratulate ‘you upon the advancement you have made in your studies, upon the application to work and the industry shown as evidenced by your standing bere today in all the joy and gratification of a Commencement Day. You part today from the scenes of your Studies,’’ scribed course of study, and for many of you, I regret to know, a finishing of scholastic work and a laying aside of literary pursuits—this parting from familiar scenes, old friends and pleasdnt dreams, is but the commencement of a new life, the opening of new thoughts and the beginning of fresh activities. -And while you stand today on this dividing line, while the past grows misty and the future brightens, while in the freshness and beauty of youth you plan for your course in life as a bird plumes herself for her flight, while in your breast commingled emotions of joy and regret hold sway as your hands grasp the parchment that testifies to your merit, let me say that we hope you have learned lessons while with us that you will never forget. We trust that the lessons of honor and truth have become the very warp and woof of your moral being; that the germs of patriotism have been planted deep bearing fruits of more than idle words and passing thoughts. We believe that the American school system is endesred to your hearts and that you go forth prepared at all times to maintain and d: fend it against the attacks of all who may assail it. Today, no doubt, you hesitate and say to yourselves: What next? ‘How shall I use the material I have stored away? In what calling or profession shall I succeed? These questions have puzzled untold thousands that have gone before you, and await the psesence of unborn generations yet to come. . Pen yourselves,and most of all note well Wherein kind Nature meant youto excel.’ ‘Thus far your time has been occupied in acquiring knowledge. Many things have been taught you the use ef which is not yet apparent. Your receptive faculties have been in constant training and your minds are stored with axioms, theorems and formule. Henceforth your powers of application will be brought into use, and you will find the root and germ of many a truth that comes under your observation in some long-forgotten formula of these schooldays of the past. To those of you that will fot a time longer remain students, as well as those that today step at once into the active conflict of life, I will say that you have and can obtain but ‘a glimpse of the vast and ever-increasing field of knowledge. New studies, new arts and new sciences are being constantly created. ’Tis but yesterday, and the three R’s were a common school education. Today your attainments would grace a scholar of the past. Learn then the lesson of concentration, choose your field of action, and abiding by its limitations adhere toit and perfect yourself in its requirements. In this lie distinction and success, tor he who attempts to master all acquires a knowledge of none. The facts and theories you , have learned, the knowledge gained in your school :ife—these, though valuable, are not what you will uepend upon for success in life; but rather the training you have received inthe acquisition of this knowidge, the expansion of the mind, and the strengthening aud quickening of the intellectual pewers. The forces of the mind, however, must be kept in constant use, or tuis training will be of no avail. Disuse is the rust that corrodes the bright steel of vigorous mental powers. As books have thus far been your tools, do not now neglect them, nor through disuse lose your control over them. And whatever calling in life you adopt, this constant use of them will not only render you better fitted for the duties of your yucation, not only keep your minds active aud your mental powers strong, but wiil hoid you in communication with the best thoughts of the best men of all ages. And now, we who have ussembled here today and listened to your closing words, we who have watched you step by step climb the ladder to this round, rejoice with you in your succ.ss,and extend our hearty good wishes to you allin your future’ struggles. ‘Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,. our tears Our faith, trium phant o’er our fears, Are all with thee—are all with thee.’ “Again congratulating you, young ladies and gentlemen, I now ijn behalf of the Board of Education, present you with the evidences of your wellmerited success.’’ The exercise’ cloged with a song by the”class. . During the afternoon Profs. Gray and Hedden were each made the. recipients by the Class 6f an elegantly bound book, the presentation speech being made by Miss Ella Leonard in one case and by Miss Orlena Arnhart in the other. “it Always Pays. says an exchange, was never exemplified in a more magnified manner than in the wonderful notoriety which has been given tothe Los Angeles country. If statistics could be gathered as to the by newspapers, by cards, circulars, maps, illustrations,etc., of that delectable country, it would astonish the most.speculative mind. The world: has been systematically flooded with such things and the returns have been equally marvelous. Los Angeles is a fine country, but, perhaps, not so good in many important particulars,certainly not better, than many other por.tions of our great State.

Some Suggestions are Made. I returned from a few days’ absence last week and found: my Pard ina mood of meditation. Something had harpeied to wind the old man up. After turning out the old mule,I asked; ‘‘What’s up now?” ; “Oh, nothing, only one of Mr. Bond’s deputies has been here. He didn’t find much, to be sure, and the litile we have got to pay for living in this country is little enough, but small as itis, ithas set me a thinking over this matter of taxes—the way it they are assessed and who pays them. First. comes the thought that ‘the constitution says that “taxation shall be equal.’”” Ihave yot to wondering just what that means? The .way is executed, we all know. Everybody is assessed on the property he owns 80 far as the official can or is willing to discover it. Of course there are men that will cover up the last dollar they in your breasts and will spring forth f¢an, and there are officials that do not do their duty. There always will be such men until that good time comes “when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together,” and it can’t be helped. But is this on equitable method? Does it fairly and justly carry out the plain’ provision of the organic law? ‘The assessor goes to A. who is worth, say ten thousand dollars, avd is living just comfortably. A.’s tax is say one hundred dollars. He pays it without difficulty, and does not find the need of living diferent on account of it, but still could he have kept the money he could and would have added somewhat to the beauty or productiyeness of his home. Th® payment is not -a hardship, but an inconvenience. Next the official visits Mr. B.,-the ‘owner of a large and expensive house and accessories, réported to be worth a cool. million. Somehow the assessment fulls far below the sum popularly believed to be just, but it figures up say, one thousand dollars. Now B. has the cash idle in the bank. “He can pay this thousand dollars and never notice the difference. In truth, it is neither a hardship nor an inconvenience. Next comes C.,aman with a family and ten acres of land, a cow and a horse or two. This man’s house is small, the furnishings are just enough to get along decently, and every cent is of a real and definite and much prized value. C, has to pay but ten dollars, but in order to pay, every little luxury must be cut off for one or two months. Every member of the little home knows and keenly feels that some unusual expense is being met. Causes ought. to be reckoned by their effects. In nature they are without -variatior, but in the affairs of men statutes. often turn them out of their rightful course, Now look at these three hypothetiog) cases. A. is inconvenienced, B, is not affected at all, while on podr C. comes all the hardship. ds this equal taxation? Did -the founders of this Republic design that it should be a crime to be poor, and that the poor should alone feel the cost of government? By no means, They followed the best light they had, as they did on the slavery business and some other subjects that their children have been forced to correct. “I believe the theory is all right, but the practice is wrong. To make taxation equal the amount of tax should be if proportion to ability to pay. Let the lnxurions-living millionaire pay his thousands, he of ten thousand a sum that he will pay just as easily us his rich neighbor, and let the poor man that is doing his best to keep soul and body together yo free. This would be ‘equal taxation’ in the longest and -best sense of the term.”The old man got up slowly, brushed back his grizzley huiir and softly added, ‘‘I don’t expeet to live to see it. This nation is now ruled by.money and nothing else, but the day will come when better things than gold or silver will be recognized to exist and the laws will be made ‘by the’ people for the people.” Squip.

He will serve out his present term and then go to attending to. his own private affairs. It is understood that should Frank Beatty again be.a candidate there will be little use of any one contesting with him, so conspicuously well has he filled the office. Who-wants the county clerk’s office ? z The treasurership is open for a contest. No man has a “‘bill of sale”’ of that office. The position is one of responsibility, but not of a great deal of work. Correctly counting out money and keeping an illegitimate hand out of the:coin is about all the trotble there is to the office. The Auditor (county clerk) keeps the accounts of the treasurer’s office. The Sheriff's office is in a peculiar condition, according to the rumor. Some. say that the present incumbent will not be again a candidate for the place. That incumbent is Geo. Lord, and a better Sheriff no county ever had. He is always ready todo his duty and he does it without any fuss, and he does it completely. Those who think that George Lord will not be a candidate for Sheriff say that he ought.to be county treasurer, and we have heard his name mentioned in connection with the county clerkship. He is a.strong man for any official position. The county recordreship is in open market oneé more. For some years that office has been by cothmon consent and with invincibility assigned tothe present holder of it, Capt. John A. Rapp. There is now adoubt that he will be a candidate again for the place. There will be a contest for the office of district attorney. There always is. This office is filled by a lawyer of course, and lawyers are never apt to be backward about.coming forward. The usual half dozen or mere will appear before the convention for the nomination. Assessor and superintendent of schools are not to be elected this year. For coroner and public administrator there are likely to be a number of candidates, All the above is viewed from the standpoint of the Republicans, The Democrats are not unmindful of the situation and stand ready to make a contest at the polls, The Democrats will not have much contention about nominations. Nevada county is Republican by quite a handsome majority, but at times and without notice to political soothsayers and philosophers, this county has elected the Democratic ticket. Sometimes there has been danger in thesafety the Republican party of the county has felt. Carpets, Carpets 100 Rolls to select from.

The doctor found ‘ geveral cuts onthe lady’s head, and she stated that the cause of the cuts was by she interfering in a quarrel between her husband and Dan Tuttle. Mrs, Mann says that Tuttle struck her with a rock, and she swofe out a warrant, in Justice Davis’ court, charging him with an assault to do great bodily injury. Mr. Mann also caused Tuttle’s arrest, charging him with assault and battery. It appears that the trouble grew out of soine dispute between the children of the two families. Disabled by ‘Vacemation. Miss Louisa Guscetti, a Nevada City young lady who a year ago went to San Francisco to reside, was vaccinated at the time of the small-pox scare in that city. Iver since that time her arm has béen in a bad condition, causing her great pain and being much swollen. At a consultation of surgeons held this week it was decided that a severe surgical operation was necessary to save her life, but whether’ the operation in question involves amputation of the arm or nut the letter conveying the intelligence of Miss Guscetti’s unfortunate condition does not state. Not at all Complicated. The Transcript reporter yesterday showed Sheriff Lord an article in the Tidings (republished elsewhere) and asked him if he had an idea of being a candidate for County Clerk or Treasurer. ‘Youcan say, if you wish,’’) was the answer, “‘that I will not. If I am candidate for anything it will be for the nomination by the Republicans for Sheriff.’ Mr. Lord’s nomination for that position would be followed by his re-election by a bigger m*~jority than he received last election. No public officer ever gave the people a better administrition, and the people all admit it. Postponed Till dune 4th. The Pythian picnic that was advertised to take place today at Glenbrook Park has been postponed on. account ofthe unfavorable condition of the weather till Monday, June 4th, upon which date the Knights propose to introduce a number of interesting attractions in addition to those already advertised. In fact, the pienic will be all the more enjoyable because of the: postponement.

Among the great many assurances of health afforded us by the regular discharge of the bodily functions, none is more important and teliable than that which regularity of the bowels gives us. If there is any— even a temporary interruption of this— “the liver and the stomach suffer conjointly with inactive organs, and still greater mischief ensues if relief is not : ae ily obtained. A laxative, above gil cavil on the score of mineral composition or violent effect, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, approved by the medical profession and a most important-item-of the-family-materia_medica of American households. It is botanic, painless in action, and if persisted in, effectual. The stomach and liver, in no less degree and no less promptly and thoroughly than the bowels, are regulated and toned by it, and it is an admirable defense against malarial and rheumatic ailments, and a benign _remedy.for kidney complaints, nervDr. Be-San-Ko In his new discovery for Consumption, succeeded in a open which is acknowledged by. all to simply marvelous. It is exceedingly pleasant to the taste, perfectly harmless, and does not sicken. In all cases Seige’ Chott be en ene The auditorium of the Theater was crowded to the doors yesterday afternoon with citizens assembled to wit-ness and listen to the graduating ex-. ercises of the Nevada City High School class for ’88, the members. of which are the following, their relative standing being shown in the order in which they are named: Minnie Lester, Nettie Hackley Mollie Rosenthal. Jeunie White, May Ashburn, George Legg, Louie Woodruff, Maggie Hutchinson, Rachel Morgan, Nettie Breed, Flora Miller, Thomas Goyne, Bert Dickerman, Minnie McNeeley, Maggie Skahaen, Horace Rolfe, Orlena Arnhart, Joseph Stenger, Ella Leonard, Lucy Hurst. & The stage was-tastefully but not elaboratety decorated with ferns afd’ evergreens. The class motto, ‘‘Wisdom Conquers All Things’ (an erroneous assertion, by the way), was wrought in letters of gold on a black background. Shortly after 2 o’clock the members of the class appeared upon the stage, making their entrance to the music of a march performed upon the piano by Prof. Muller, who also officiated gs director of the vocal music, There were also upon the stage Prof. T. B. Gray, Principal of the city schools and Prof. B. F. Hedden, oné of the High School teachers. Prof. Gray in opening the exercises explained that Miss Nettie Breed, who was upon the program for an instrumental solo, was entitled by her standing to take part in the literary exercises; but that owing to the rule of the Board of Education that there shall be but ten essayists, she consented to play and give the tenth place to Miss Flora Miller whohad like her 92.6 per cent. ; The following program was then carried out and won the highest enconiums for the excellence of the various numbers. The songs showed careful training by the director, and the essays were of superior literary merit.-George Legg’s oration on ‘‘The.

To me has been given the privilege of saying to you a tew words of parting, in behalf of the schoolmates whom you leave behind. We are still treading the paths which you lave trod. Look back aleng our ranks and you will see among us represeasentatives ofevery step you have taken during the eleven years of your school-life. Now you will leave us. We shall continue totread the familiar paths, but the places that have known you will know you no more. Your seats will not be vacant, but you will not be there. We shall miss you. Day after day we have met you, and our associations have been most pleasant. Now, twenty bright faces have gone from among us; twenty happy ones have left us. But those who have been with you in the High School will miss you most. We have seen your work. Tous your society has been an enjoyment, your example an inspir‘ation. Next year we will step into the places you are now leaving and which wecan hardly hope to. fill as well. But your untiring zeal and great success will show us the way and give us hope. We, teachersand schoolinates, shall miss you, and shall anxiously watch your career. May it be asource of enjoyment to us and a blesssing to you.” :s The graduates were at the conclusion of their respective exercises presented with many. floral testimonials of esteem, some of the offerings being quite elaborate and handsome. This custom has fallen into disuse in most of the leading schools of the country, and should in the opinion of many who saw to what an extreme it was carried yesterday be hereafter tabooed by the Nevada City Board of EducaB. N. Shoecraft of the City Board of Education then presented. the diplomas, delivering the following eloquent address in so doing: “Young ladies and gentlemen of the graduating class—I congratulate ‘you upon the advancement you have made in your studies, upon the application to work and the industry shown as evidenced by your standing bere today in all the joy and gratification of a Commencement Day. You part today from the scenes of your Studies,’’ scribed course of study, and for many of you, I regret to know, a finishing of scholastic work and a laying aside of literary pursuits—this parting from familiar scenes, old friends and pleasdnt dreams, is but the commencement of a new life, the opening of new thoughts and the beginning of fresh activities. -And while you stand today on this dividing line, while the past grows misty and the future brightens, while in the freshness and beauty of youth you plan for your course in life as a bird plumes herself for her flight, while in your breast commingled emotions of joy and regret hold sway as your hands grasp the parchment that testifies to your merit, let me say that we hope you have learned lessons while with us that you will never forget. We trust that the lessons of honor and truth have become the very warp and woof of your moral being; that the germs of patriotism have been planted deep bearing fruits of more than idle words and passing thoughts.. We believe that the American school system is endesred to your hearts and that you go forth prepared at all times to maintain and d: fend it against the attacks of all who may assail it. Today, no doubt, you hesitate and say to yourselves: What next? ‘How shall I use the material I have stored away? In what calling or profession shall I succeed? These questions have puzzled untold thousands that have gone before you, and await the psesence of unborn generations yet to come. . Pen yourselves,and most of all note well Wherein kind Nature meant youto excel.’ ‘Thus far your time has been occupied in acquiring knowledge. Many things have been taught you the use ef which is not yet apparent. Your receptive faculties have been in constant training and your minds are stored with axioms, theorems and formule. Henceforth your powers of application will be brought into use, and you will find the root and germ of many a truth that comes under your observation in some long-forgotten formula of these schooldays of the past. To those of you that will fot a time longer remain students, as well as those that today step at once into the active conflict of life, I will say that you have and can obtain but ‘a glimpse of the vast and ever-increasing field of knowledge. New studies, new arts and new sciences are being constantly created. ’Tis but yesterday, and the three R’s were a common school education. Today your attainments would grace a scholar of the past. Learn then the lesson of concentration, choose your field of action, and abiding by its limitations adhere toit and perfect yourself in its requirements. In this lie distinction and success, tor he who attempts to master all acquires a knowledge of none. The facts and theories you , have learned, the knowledge gained in your school :ife—these, though valuable, are not what you will uepend upon for success in life; but rather the training you have received inthe acquisition of this knowidge, the expansion of the mind, and the strengthening aud quickening of the intellectual pewers. The forces of the mind, however, must be kept in constant use, or tuis training will be of no avail. Disuse is the rust that corrodes the bright steel of vigorous mental powers. As books have thus far been your tools, do not now neglect them, nor through disuse lose your control over them. And whatever calling in life you adopt, this constant use of them will not only render you better fitted for the duties of your yucation, not only keep your minds active aud your mental powers strong, but wiil hoid you in communication with the best thoughts of the best men of all ages. And now, we who have ussembled here today and listened to your closing words, we who have watched you step by step climb the ladder to this round, rejoice with you in your succ.ss,and extend our hearty good wishes to you allin your future’ struggles. ‘Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,. our tears Our faith, trium phant o’er our fears, Are all with thee—are all with thee.’ “Again congratulating you, young ladies and gentlemen, I now ijn behalf of the Board of Education, present you with the evidences of your wellmerited success.’’ The exercise’ cloged with a song by the”class. . During the afternoon Profs. Gray and Hedden were each made the. recipients by the Class 6f an elegantly bound book, the presentation speech being made by Miss Ella Leonard in one case and by Miss Orlena Arnhart in the other. “it Always Pays. says an exchange, was never exemplified in a more magnified manner than in the wonderful notoriety which has been given tothe Los Angeles country. If statistics could be gathered as to the by newspapers, by cards, circulars, maps, illustrations,etc., of that delectable country, it would astonish the most.speculative mind. The world: has been systematically flooded with such things and the returns have been equally marvelous.

Some Suggestions are Made. I returned from a few days’ absence last week and found: my Pard ina mood of meditation. Something had harpeied to wind the old man up. After turning out the old mule,I asked; ‘‘What’s up now?” ; “Oh, nothing, only one of Mr. Bond’s deputies has been here. He didn’t find much, to be sure, and the litile we have got to pay for living in this country is little enough, but small as itis, ithas set me a thinking over this matter of taxes—the way it they are assessed and who pays them. First. comes the thought that ‘the constitution says that “taxation shall be equal.’”” Ihave yot to wondering just what that means? The .way is executed, we all know. Everybody is assessed on the property he owns 80 far as the official can or is willing to discover it. Of course there are men that will cover up the last dollar they in your breasts and will spring forth f¢an, and there are officials that do not do their duty. There always will be such men until that good time comes “when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together,” and it can’t be helped. But is this on equitable method? Does it fairly and justly carry out the plain’ provision of the organic law? ‘The assessor goes to A. who is worth, say ten thousand dollars, avd is living just comfortably. A.’s tax is say one hundred dollars. He pays it without difficulty, and does not find the need of living diferent on account of it, but still could he have kept the money he could and would have added somewhat to the beauty or productiyeness of his home. Th® payment is not -a hardship, but an inconvenience. Next the official visits Mr. B.,-the ‘owner of a large and expensive house and accessories, réported to be worth a cool. million. Somehow the assessment fulls far below the sum popularly believed to be just, but it figures up say, one thousand dollars. Now B. has the cash idle in the bank. “He can pay this thousand dollars and never notice the difference. In truth, it is neither a hardship nor an inconvenience. Next comes C.,aman with a family and ten acres of land, a cow and a horse or two. This man’s house is small, the furnishings are just enough to get along decently, and every cent is of a real and definite and much prized value. C, has to pay but ten dollars, but in order to pay, every little luxury

must be cut off for one or two months. Every member of the little home knows and keenly feels that some unusual expense is being met. Causes ought. to be reckoned by their effects. In nature they are without -variatior, but in the affairs of men statutes. often turn them out of their rightful course, Now look at these three hypothetiog) cases. A. is inconvenienced, B, is not affected at all, while on podr C. comes all the hardship. ds this equal taxation? Did -the founders of this Republic design that it should be a crime to be poor, and that the poor should alone feel the cost of government? By no means, They followed the best light they had, as they did on the slavery business and some other subjects that their children have been forced to correct. “I believe the theory is all right, but the practice is wrong. To make taxation equal the amount of tax should be if proportion to ability to pay. Let the lnxurions-living millionaire pay his thousands, he of ten thousand a sum that he will pay just as easily us his rich neighbor, and let the poor man that is doing his best to keep soul and body together yo free. This would be ‘equal taxation’ in the longest and -best sense of the term.”The old man got up slowly, brushed back his grizzley huiir and softly added, ‘‘I don’t expeet to live to see it. This nation is now ruled by.money and nothing else, but the day will come when better things than gold or silver will be recognized to exist and the laws will be made ‘by the’ people for the people.” Squip.

He will serve out his present term and then go to attending to. his own private affairs. It is understood that should Frank Beatty again be.a candidate there will be little use of any one contesting with him, so conspicuously well has he filled the office. Who-wants the county clerk’s office ? z The treasurership is open for a contest. No man has a “‘bill of sale”’ of that office. The position is one of responsibility, but not of a great deal of work. Correctly counting out money and keeping an illegitimate hand out of the:coin is about all the trotble there is to the office. The Auditor (county clerk) keeps the accounts of the treasurer’s office. The Sheriff's office is in a peculiar condition, according to the rumor. Some. say that the present incumbent will not be again a candidate for the place. That incumbent is Geo. Lord, and a better Sheriff no county ever had. He is always ready todo his duty and he does it without any fuss, and he does it completely. Those who think that George Lord will not be a candidate for Sheriff say that he ought.to be county treasurer, and we have heard his name mentioned in connection with the county clerkship. He is a.strong man for any official position. The county recordreship is in open market oneé more. For some years that office has been by cothmon consent and with invincibility assigned tothe present holder of it, Capt. John A. Rapp. There is now adoubt that he will be a candidate again for the place. There will be a contest for the office of district attorney. There always is. This office is filled by a lawyer of course, and lawyers are never apt to be backward about.coming forward. The usual half dozen or mere will appear before the convention for the nomination. Assessor and superintendent of schools are not to be elected this year. For coroner and public administrator there are likely to be a number of candidates, All the above is viewed from the standpoint of the Republicans, The Democrats are not unmindful of the situation and stand ready to make a contest at the polls, The Democrats will not have much contention about nominations. Nevada county is Republican by quite a handsome majority, but at times and without notice to political soothsayers and philosophers, this county has elected the Democratic ticket. Sometimes there has been danger in thesafety the Republican party of the county has felt. Carpets, Carpets 100 Rolls to select from.
