Mkenld l'lcliircs he Taxed t
Jadge Mitchell, of tlie Philadelphia
courts, liaaj list given Ills opinion Hint
pictures are net laxuble iia furniture.
The benrd of revision of tuxes lnthitt
city hnd decided otherwise nnd Mr.
Henry C. Lea, u wealthy owner of
Tilitftbte pictures, npenled from tlie
decision. His pica was tliat pictures
were net intended te be taxed under the
law taxing furniture, altice tliey were
net commonly included under lliattenn.
He further insisted tliat private works of
art should net be taxed, as they yielded
no revenue te tlie ewner, and that Ills
ownership should net be put under tlie
penalty of a tax that would tend te re
strict It and se dlscourage art produc
tion. It will be seen that the questions in
volved are didlcult of decision and
wide reaching in their considerations. It
Is a toss up whother you decide that pic
teres are or are net furniture. Yeu will
probably determlne it according te the
bent of your views or Interests. The d Ic Ic
tlenarics will letyoumake the decision
either way. If you Insure your picture
and it Is burned, insurance adjusters
will probably held a different view, from
the ene that is clear te you, en the ques
tlens as te wliether pictures are furniture,
in default of express stipulation about the
matter in tlie policy. Judge Mitchell
inclined te protect art and se agreed
with Mr. Lea that his pictures were net
furniture. It is net a matter of great con
sequence wliether pictures are or are net
furniture. If the Legislature wants
pictures te be taxed it can say se apeclll
cally. The real question of Interest In
the matter Is as te whether works of art
should be taxed. It is a question akin te
that of tariff taxation. Shall there Ins
a bounty upon the ownership of works
of art? Shall the home manufacturer of
them be onceurnzed by their being freed
from tax, and the foreign maker along
with him ? Ic is net easy te say yes.
The home manufacturer should be en
couraged in the production of artistic
as well as useful works, perhaps ; but
certainly art has no greater claim than
utility. It may be very well te encour
age a taste for pictures ; but Is it net te
encourage the ownership of picks and
Bhevcls ? If a bedstead is taxed, why
Bheuld net a picture be 'i It the mami
facturers of articles of utility have their
trade embarrassed by the taxation of
their products, why should net the
maker of articles of art bear a like bur
then V
We defend the Iwunty imposed by the
tariff laws for the benefit of home
manufactures because it is te the ad
vantage of the country te possess such
manufactures. Det we see no cause for
giving a bounty te the ownership of
articles, that may lw made here or
abroad, whether they be articles of art or
utility. The theory upon which our
taxes are imposed Is that they are a tax
en wealth. Kverythiug is supposed te
be taxed moneys at interest and real
estate as well its furniture. If Mr.
Lea's money was net in his
pictures it would be in some
thing else that would yield a
tix, if the tax gatherer could get held
of it. The difficulty with pictures is
that they caunet be coucealed as ether
property may be. The difficulty with
our tax system ia tliat the property
which the law taxes is net taxed. If all
was taxed that was liable te taxation,
t'ie rate would be he light that It would
bj no burthen or discouragement te the
owners of objects of art. What is Im
peratively needed is some system of tax tax
lien tliat will lay a lavel tax en wealth,
and net simply pretend te, falling foul
of the Leas with their mouey in art pic
tures and letting free the Goulds with
their cash in chremes.
Illulue's Irish folic).
Mr. Blaine's campaign started off
with a beast that he whs somehow or
ether going te capture a large Irish
vote from the Democrats. There has
net been se much heard of it lately.
The reason is obvious. Mr. Blaine's
se-called " Irish policy," like every ether
policy he has had, is a transparent
humbug. Mr. Blalne is a specious sort
of statesman who swaggers and blusters
a great deal when he thinks there is a
chance te inake any capital out of it.
Hut he is shallow and insincere, aid
seen gets into deep water. This was
very clearly reveaied in the avidity with
which he embraced and tlie readiness
with which he dropped the scheme te
ralse a surplus fund for the purposes of
dividing it among the states. He dis
counted pepuhir intelligence be rar as
te believe this would commend itself te
the coulldcnce of the people. He found
out tlie contrary and without auy con.
viotien en the subject he drops it as
summarily as tlie original patentee,
Wharten Barker, lias disappeared from
public netice.
An investigation of Mr. Dlalne'a sup
port of these intelligent and well direct
ed efforts for Ireland and Irishmen,
which npeal te their sympathisers in this
country, shown his nakedness again.
He was net secretary of atate when he
was invited te be present at the great
meeting held in Baltimore, April 18,
1882, under the auspices of the Irish
National, Land L vague, of Mary
1111(1. lTnnnltlier lUutit f eenf nvnttan

he made no sign. That meeting was
held te and did demand the effectual in
terpoallien of tlie United States in be
half of theso American citizens arbitra
rily seized and neld without trial for tlie
offense of sympathy with the cause of
the land league. Aa secretary of state,
Mr. Blaine had failed te make such in
tcrpoaltlen, and he knew there would be.
a man at that meeting, te speak before
its audience, who might arraign his
official policy, and whom he dared net
hear'uer answer.
The next morning after that meetiug
the eloquent plea which Judge Black
made was berne ou the wings of steam
and lightning te every corner of the
country. It waa the argument of
a lawyer, statesman and patriot ;
and his conduct and speech were
in such marked contrast with
Blaine's cowardice that Judge Black
himself speke of the ex-secretary's
treatment of his Irish friends as "a
monstrous exhibition of cowardlce and
discourtesy." Te satisfy himself that
he had net misunderstood nor 'nlarepre.
BBiitcd Blaine, Judge Black, we are told
lu the Pittsburg 1'esl, "went te Wash
ington te obtain from Mr. Blalne's own
lilts an explanation et the violation of
his premiso made te him personally te
attend. At llrst Blaine answered his
questions cvasively, but en pressing
them he admitted that lie wasiullueuced
by considerations of icrseual interest.
The object of the meeting, he said, was
In direct cenlllct with the policy of the
government during the period when he
was at the head of the state department,
and in view of that fact he euld net at
tend the meeting without inviting critic
ism and censure."
The personal relations between Blaine
and Black were always very kindly ; but
for the tlnie-servlng cowardice and
demagogic double-dealing of Blaine in
this matter, Judge Black cherished and
expressed the most withering contempt

ple, of loe are of a high dogrce of purity,
they are by no means the het waters, In
regard te purity they are inferior te rev rov rev
eral of the Laucaster waters oxarnlued,
including the hydrant water. If this hy
drant, water in as pure as it was a few
weekB age, it is contaminated considerably
by mixing it with Lancaster ice.
Iu conclusion Prof. Ihlter says:
"The porous ice was found te contain a
sotnewhat smaller amount of free ammo amme
ula, but a considerable larger amount of
albumineid ammonia, than the solid, nud
te held a large amount of sediment. A
1 irge amount scdimeut was also found in the
pond ice. The oeuolusion based upon this
oxnmiuatieu is tliat the Lancaster ice is
organieally considered of geed quality,
nud in doubtless mueh better than that
furnished iu many of the larger eities. It
would be much better, honevor, in using
loe, net te put it into the water, etc.,
which we doaire te cool ns is se comraeuly
deue, but put it around a vossel contain
ing the liquid te be cooled. By te doing
any dauger from the use of impure loe,
nnd also the dlsagreoable Ruspomled mat
ter would be avoided. Convenient ves ves
sels could easily be made for the use of
ice in this way."

Tliey were easily retired, as was the home
ume iu their half of the inning. Twe mull's
and wild throws permitted oue of the
Fishers te leach the home plate iu the
second inning. The Columbia's were
unable te soero in the second inning, but
iu the third, safe hits of llartman, and
Hiteshtie permitted the former te scere au
earned run. This emits! the home players
run-getting, although at several diflercnt
times they had two and three men en
bases, but the excellent playing of the vis
itors kept thorn from crossing the home
plate. The Duncanueu boys worn unable
te scere uutd the soveuth inning, when,
with one man ou base, a liy ball was knock
ed 111 the directieu of right Held. Mitchell
ran for thn ball, but was unable te get it,
and the two men crossed the home plate
iu safety. This ended the scoring. Fol
