LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE"!? TUESDAY. XOVICMHIQ1S (. 1,1, Lancaster tnlrlltgnircr. TOK8DAY KVBNINQ, NOV 0. iBU3. JHiigeHlinonten en the Kcrlnlen erTnxcs Judge Slmonten, of the Dauphin county court, lm.i been Indulging him self In some of tlmtjuillelal legislation te which JtulgcH nre I'renc. Tlie state baud I'er the revision of taxes, which Is empowered by law te ctjuullzu the state taxation in the several counties of tl e state, and which, therefore, naturally assumed that It had the power of In. creasing or diminishing the assessment of any county, raised Philadelphia's as sessment te some two hundred millions en the evidence of the recorder's books that mere than twlce that amount of mortgages were recorded in the county The ovidence certainly seems satlsfac tery, nnd the fact seems te be Indisputa ble that the money nl interest subject te taxation by the state in Philadelphia, has net been assessed at tee great a sum by the state beard. Judge Slmonten declares, however, that the amount of the assessable perperty is te be determined by the local beatd of assessors ; 11 decision which clearly seems te deprlve the state beard of revision of Its functions. "We de net understand hew he reserves nny powers at all te them, if they are bound te accept the return et the county assessors. He sajs that the state beard was formed te equalize the assessments between the counties ; and that It lias net acted equitably in Its Philadelphia assessment, becuuse it has net changed the assess ment of ether ceuuties while changing Philadelphia's ; that the whole assess ment of the stnte having been ninety eight mlllieus, of which Phlladel phla's was forty live millions, it was grossly inequitable te raise Philadelphia te two hundred millions without increasing the assessment upon the remaining counties But w hy se, if the state beard only had evidence before it that the Philadelphia assessment was tee low? If Philadelphia really has live hundred mtlliens of unsatisfied mert gages, she cannot complain of a two hundred million assessment ; and if her authorities think she is net assessed in proper proportion te the rest of the state they can easily show the fact bj the mortgage records of the counties. Neth ingef the kind was done in this suit. There is nothing te show that the state beard did net equalize the nssement throughout the state by raising Philadel phia from nearly forty five te two bun dred millions of dollars. If this had been shown Judge Simouten would have had reason te pronounce inequitable the ac tion of the state beard, and lie would have been right te correct it If lie hud the power; as te which there would seem te be a serious question. Hut lie is certainly wrong in herding that tlie state beard of revision cannot go behind the let urns of county assessors, and that the way te correct a count's assessment is only through the county authorities. 11 cannot knock the state beard en the hmd in such fashion ; the Legislature only can de that; a judge is net a law re pealer. , - Tender. Conscience. The people who have been wondering why the Legislature did net adjourn will And, litter the election, that it had cause te stay in session. The returns of the present election will afford the l.i'ejt and In -it li'Sis for apportionment. Tlie memlterset the legislator" have been animated by a disposition te de exact justice te the people in their apportion ment, and se have wait- d for the very latest development of the data upon which a true apportionment could le made. The lust election was a triangu lar affair, and there was a question as te the precise position of the vetetsnfthe two great parties. Seme claimed that Governer Pattison hud received a great many Republican votes, and ethers, said that Stewart had ben lafired with Democratic suppei t. Hut new that the I ndepeudent hogs have gene back te t heir wallew.t hue will be no dlfllculty, after the election, in deter mining tlie pelitie.il state of the several cetuitKs. When the I.egi-datun again convenes we hope te see the members se enlightened by the returns, and se sub dued or invigorated in spirit, that they will readily Kte hew the constitutional mandate, which they all profess te revere.may be can led out .The trouble all along te these geed men has been their consciences. The Republicans could net conscientiously see hew they could give the Democrats mere than ten out of eighteen members of Congress, lint, of course, If the Democrats carry the state at this election, they will see that they ought te have half the c mgressmm anyway, and tliev will hasten te such an apportionment. Senater Jehn stewait could net sleep a wink if he thought he had done injustice te any one. Great things are te lie looked for after the election from his tenderund enlightened conscience. Ne geed citizen should fall te vete to te day. The Issues te be decided in this contest are fraught with the deepest in terest te the taxpayer and te him who believes In the supremacy of the censtl tutlen aud Uae necessity of obedience te Its mandates. Tlie heelers and strikers, the henchmen of the ring and all of society's meat Irresponsible classes wllj be at the polls hi strong force te-day ,and It becomes the duly of the honest man, conscious of tlie responsibility that citi zenship imposes, te de all In his power te offset theirdeloterieiis Inllueuce. The evils of the treasury mismanagement and the stubborn dellauce of the consti tution shown by the Republicans in their determination te rofuae " an honest, just and true apportionment," Imperatively demand that every honest, thinking citizen should reglster his vote against them. Te the polls whlle there is yet time I m ft. Wiikn the polls close tills evenliig the ballet box should contain the vote of every Democrat who believes that the Interests of the state will be better enred for uuder Powell and Taggart than un der NHes and Livsey, the creatures of the bosses. Get your votes In befere 7 o'clock when the polls close, Tiik verdict In Pennsylvania today will be eagerly looked for, as the contest is being earnestly .watched in all the ether states. 0iler In particular, has her eyes en the Keystone state, in ex pectatlen that she will register a Demo cratic victory, as did the Puckoye com menweulth one month age. Hut the triumph cannot be wen miles every Democratic vete is polled. Te the polls then, Democrats, and make certain the condemnation that the bosses have richly deserved at the hands of an nut rnged people ' Oni: je.ir age the Republicans were driven out of the high places they had se long dishonored in our commonwealth, and fearless, honest Democrats were sent id in their stead. Keep up the geed weik then auspiciously begun and drive the (reasuiy leeches treni the positions where thej have been long fattening l the election of Taggart and Powell. It you have net already attended te tins ui gent duty, go at once and deposit jour ballet for tlie Democratic candidates. Tin: confederated lingsters who lune beeti manipulating the treasury in their own behall and against the people, will all he at the ieHs te day, and unless the independent, honest eitl?en attends te the duty of voting, the bosses may be successful. Vele while there is jet time ! Wr.t.ceMK tlie coming and speed tie parting quest ; in ether words, vete that the Democratic party must come, and that the Republican party must go' Tiik Republican party gets n geed fend off te dy. mint go.

Should ten Democrats remain at home in each of the seventy-two election district of tlie county, mere than 700 votes will be lest te the party. Te the polls' The fair weather is in favor of the Democrats. The Republican vete is con centrated in a few centres e( population like Philadelphia, Allegheny aud Lmcas ler. The Democratic vete is mere evenly distributed evei the whole state and goeJ weather will help te bring it out. Shellu the Democrat be success iul te night, it will be a source of everlasting regret that you wete net enrolled iu the victorious army. If jeu have net yet veteJ, go te your polling place at once and cast your ballet for Taggart, Powell and the Democratic oeuoty ticket.

I, iWe Misrp, In He'ialt Krfti I'ri'xx I rccetveti a very impeaaut letter this week. It cenuiutd the anueiiuccment that "The baby walks. ' It is with no drsiie te pun that I say that this is a gnat step forward for the baby. nf course this event has uotbueueii uetbueueii tlre'v unexpected in our family. I have been looking etery day for the news for some time past Our baby has been a remarkable baby from Iho veiy lirst, and a large number of his immediate relatives hate been waiting with bated breath for th-t tidings that his long j mruey had commenced. The parti cu'aisef the auspicious event arc net te hand, but I can t-ee in my mind's eye jiirt bow the wenderlul uccuireiice took place. The biby is out in the ceuutry staying with his "dieters ami his cousins and bis auuts" and I siippesu .f they had been near enough te a telegiaph tdlice they would have sent tne a dispatch about thu tupitme event. Altlaugli the baby's tat hgi tue ridiculously tturdy, he has had all along a great deflidence in ti listing te Uieui. New, last Sunday I held and still main tun that the baby teik one distinct step towards his devoted father. The new. w:im aoreduejs y rece v -dai beiug t je geed te be tine, and the whole family, from his giaudin ither t the Kitchen girl Celli cted around te se if he would tiki another, but thu little rascal seemed te thiuk it was the biggest kind of a jeke te brn.g h's father's leputatien for veracity into quest ten by laughing and heldiug ou te a chair, but refining all the while te move away from it. It vain that I held out and all the endearing was nit iu my ii mils inducements te tike t'10 I could te get hi 111 neens ary steps te corae te me. He would keep 01.0 hand en the chair an I reuch out with the ether ; but net until he had clinched Ins pudgy hatid areuud my linger would he let go the ehair. Once I had vuticed him in this manner te quit the chair, aud then suddenly withdiew my bauds from his, leaving him standing aietie. He lioteicd a moment 111 wavering uidt'ciM in and then instead of stepping sit emplialica y down nnd lexaimnl his favorite style of licometiou. He uevei orept as an eidiuaiy batiy would have done, but sort of hitched along. He would sit down, aud, putting a hand new one side of him and again ou tlie eth ir, his fat httle body swaying this way and that would hitch alenj with his littlu dumplings of feed ahead el him like .1 railroad cow catlier, and this way he moved ever the il jer in a sitting posture at a speed that was wonderful, Practice had made him se perfect ut this sort el movement that he evidently came te leek 011 walking ; s an ornamental mipmlluity. It was most com -jcal te sen him forge ahead iu the beat rae ets call l, with both hands full, holding tliem up from the lle ir ami swaying forward without any help from them. He occasionally took te his feet, and w ith breathless haste would work his way along the wall 111 a hand ever baud fashion until getting 1 10 elated at his new excite ment would upit and roll hnlplesily ever en the earpM. These accidents shook his oentldencii for the time being 111 the stt bility of things, but happily a baby's moinery is ns short as a baby, ami the perils of pedestriauism were braved again aud agaiu. Ofteu the peer little fellow looked Iike a battle soured veteran after his tumbles, but it is a lucky thing that babies are exceedingly olastie, otherwise the population et tins country would net be ns great us it is new. Anyhow, another competitor Ins entered into tlie great walking match : " The baby walks." uoiucirnce Meney. This nieuiing Win. O.
