The ratu of taxation for school purposes
this year Is 30 cents, the turne as It was ler
some years, en the flOO valuation. In uJ II
tleu te that rate the law directs that 151 shall
be added te each taxable. It Is net discre
tionary with the be trd te add the $1 head
tax. it Is mandatory.
The only thing wrong with this head tax is
that the tenant and single men, as a rule, es
cape Its piyment Kretit the property-ownor
it can be collected without trouble or suit.
The tenant ami single men simply reluse te
pay and the beard of directors have never
yet been able te get it collector who will use
the power the law gives him te collect all
thu school tax. During the past few years
the average amount of head tax assessed en
tenants and single men was J -1, 000. Of that
amount less than f 100 was collected.

of chairman Mr. Jehu F. Fiuerty's uame is
most favorably mentioned. Mr. Flnerty is
also luoutlenod us President Kgan's suc
cessor. Warm Iriends of his are
pushing him te the front A geed many
howlers, who would be otherwlso strong
Flnerty men, have uew strong doubts or
the wisdom of electing him te the presidency
in view uf his recent physical force utteran
ces. Mr. Fluerty himself says he does net
dosire his name te be put forward. With
regard te his Hpeech in Ogdeu's greve, he
inade the following explanation te-day.
"We bave no deslre te iorce tee baud of
Ptiruell or te drlve the Irish people into war
unprepared. Alt that we demand is this
(aud wu will bu satisfied with nothing less)
that no leader of the Irish people who
is supposed te speak ler thorn shall
commit hlmseir or them te accepting
as a final settlement bills or rolief unworthy
or the dignity or Ireland's national demand.
We are perfectly willing te bee them accept
such bills us that of Gliulstoueasa settlement
ou account, but that must net be accepted
as closing the transaction. We sce no wis
dom iu it It lewers the tene el the Irish
cuuse. It lowers the spirit of the Irish
poeplo, Te usk them te subside te a spocles
of inore provincialism is au outrage en thelr
struggle of "OOyeara for liberty. We admit
that it may be geed policy en the part el
Mr. Parnell aud Mr. Davitt te be what Is
teruied modemto In tone, but for us who
ropresent the national lile.r of the Irish
people It would be werse than felly
te conceal our beiitiments. We recog
nize that Ireland is Incapable of lighting
Kuglaud at prosent We de uet want her te
light England except lu seme mauner that
will be safe te her, and whatever risk she
may take, uew or iu the future, she will lind
that we are sincere in our dosire te help her
In her struggle for liberty ; and 1 cannot con cen con
celve what the object is of distinguished
Irishmen who uiller from Mr, Sullivan, Mr,
Kgau and myself In charging us
with u dosire te ferce the Irish
people Inte mi prepared revelt I, at
least, have ompliasl.ed my dosire net te
place the Irish people iu any such position,
though I have been equally emphatic iu con cen con
demuning that ethor policy which woakeus
thonervoaud demoralizes the spirit of the
poeplo ; but he far us te the charge et at
tempting te condemn the policy or te ferce
the hand of the Irish leader, I have nover at
any time In my career dene se nud I never
will. It will conclude, however, by saying
this much ou ene ethor subject: When When
ever an Irishman is brave eneugh
and magnanimous eneugh te take the risk
et terrlfy ing the enemies of his country and
his race, let such et us as may net be able
te appreve of bis action, nt least remain slleut

It is probable that ex-Congressman M. V.
