THE CENTRE REPORTER,
FRED, KURTZ, Eprror and Pror'n
The last legislature repealed ail taxes
upon watches, farniture and pleasure car-
riages, and tax collectors have no right
to frighten people into paying them
When the act of 13th May, 1887, wus
passed, many had paid all taxes for the
current year. As the furniture, watch
and carriage taxes were then legally im
posed and due, and as the act made no
provision for refunding such taxes paid
for the year, there is no authority for the
tax department to make restitution; but
there has been no law of any kind since
the date of that act for the collection of
such taxes, and all who are now com
manded to pay them should refuse per-
emptorily to do so. No fears need be en-
tertained of suits, levies or costs by re
fusal to pay such taxes, asthe tax officials
are not fools i some of them are knaves,

UNEXPECTED INCREASE OF THE
SURPLUS,
Secretary Fairchild in his report sub-
mitted to Congress early in December
estimated that the treasury surplus would
reach $140,000,000 by the end of the pre-
sent fiscal year. It is now stated at the
Treasury Department that owing to
heavy receipts during the past few
months, the estimate then submitted
will prove to be too small, and that the
surplus at the end of June, 1888, will
probably reach the sum of $155,000,000

it is not quite so easy as to shave a man

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Corea Legation—-A Queer Lot of ¥m-
bassadors—They, However, Represent
an Earnest and Progressive People.
[Special Correspondence.]
Of all queer people that Washington has
ever seen the Coreans who were presented
to the President recently are the queerest.
There are ten of them in the legation and
they have been going to the theaters and
strolling about the streets by twos and
threes all the week, dressed in their gor-
geous silks and acting as unconsciously as
if they had been attired in the most un-
noticable broadcloth, These Corcans seem
to be very tall people, but this is due wo
their enormously high silk hats, which are
pot at all like the silk hats to which the
Caucasians are accustomed, but are loaf
shaped concerns with a very high turban
brim.
In gorgeousness the Coreans fairly out-
shine the Chinese diplomats who swarm
about Stewart castle in Dupont Circle and
during the long summer evenings sit and
smoke on the benches in the little Circle
purk. The Coreans all wear a peculiar wire
frame, which greatly increases the size of
their bodies. Some of the shortest of them
when they wear this frame look like big
animated foot-balls. The frames are buckled
at the waist and move with the body, being
made of a rigid net-work that never loses
{ts position. Their attire is all of silk and
consists of breeches made of immense quan.
tities of silk and hanging in very loose folds.
Over every thing they wear a long flowing
silk gown, and these various gowns are
AT THE WHITE ROUSE
made of remarkably delicate and beautiful
shades of the precious fabric. One worn
by Pak Chung Yang, the chief of the logs
tion, is of a shade that can be described by
no better term than sky-green. It resem-
bles the delicate apple green sky that
is so rarely seen in a prairie sunset at the
West. The Coreans wear shoes very much
like the Chinese sandals. Their hair is nev
er cut, and they wear it in a long braid
coiled up on the back of the head. Itis the
custom wherever they go to keep their hats
on. At the reception st the White House
the entire legation wore the turbaned hats;
on the street they wear very much like the
ed bell-crowned hats
These Coreans have come to Washington
to stay; they have take A capacious real
dence on © street not far from BSoeott
Circle, which is in the neighborhood of the
Spanish, Mexican and Chinese legations,
and with Dr. Allen, the American
tary of the legat they intend to
their home there and Live 34
lations with the United States. Dr. Alien
is a tall, spare, shghtly bald young man
who has spent the last seven years in
Cores, and has the confidence of the Her-
mit Nation. For the last four years he has
been physician to the royal family He had
first lived in China and had mastered its
language. His relations with the ruler of
Corea are due to his having saved the life
of Prince Min Yong Ik, who in an outbreak
of some traitorous natives was terribly cut
with scimetars, and lay at the point of
death when the young American doctor
was called to attend him. American sur-
gery saved the Prince's life; the gashes
were sewed up, the arteries tied, and in
due time the Prince recovered,
Dr. Allen says that Corea contains fifteen
million people, although it is not larger
than the State of Pennsylvania. The
Coreans are Mongolians, and China claims
that the Corean realm is one of its de-
pendencies. Art and literature have
reached a high standard in Cores, and the
Coreans are on the whole a progressive,
active and earnest people. They keep up a
