Tke Frand ea tke Ballet.
Referring te the brazen fraud en the
ballet-box in the Sixth ward, the I.an.
caller Inquirer says : " Ne political con
tention has a tight te receive and endorse a
return that Is shown te be false. It is a
wrong te the public and a disgrace te the
party that should be wiped out by prompt
reparation." And, concluding nn article
en the same subject, that paper declares :
" Erery possible effort should be made te
unearth this great wrong."
The IxTELMOEXCEn is rejoiced at
having the Inquirer as a coadjutor in un
earthing the election frauds adverted te.
There is no nonsense about that journal's
Republicanism, and the vigorous manner
in which it takes held of this flagrant Re
publican offense shows it te be in dead
earnest.
Prosecution can new no longer be
averted. The calcium light of investigr.
tlen will be turned upon the dark places in
the Sixth ward, and the stern punishment
of the law will be meted out te the guilty.
The State's Charity.
Governer Beaver is said te be leisurely
considering hew he may reduce the sum of
the legislature's appropriations te a figure
within the compass of the state revenues.
Te keep up the payments en account of
the state debt, it appears te be necessary te
cut away some millions of the appropria
tions. Of course, it will net de for the
governor te let the state debt stand undi
minished during his administration, and
show a worse record for it in this regard
than that made by Governer Fattiseu.
Governer Beaver is said te desire te have
the debt all paid off before he retires from
efflcr, as iiaaMgand should be.
if JHB4HMnndinnd(mt.lv of this miestinn
reduction of the state debt, the gev
erner may proutaely consider wneiucr
many of the appropriations te charitable
uses are properly made by the state. These
appropriations amount te millions, and bid
fair te amount te hundreds of millions if
they go en unchecked. They are bounded
only by the ability of the state te collect
the revenue te pay them; and the legisla
ture never seems te step te consider
whether there may net be an undue bur
then of taxation laid upon the people for
charity's sake ; nor does it even take care
that the charities it festers are equally dis
tributed ever the etate, like the taxes.
We believe in an abundant charity by the
state, exercised in taking care of these un
able te care for themselves. But we also
believe that the state's hand of charity
should be extended equally and evenly te
every section of the state, and should be
equally convenient and accessible te all
her people.
Te secure this end, it seems te us te be
necessary that the money devoted by the
state te charity should be generally ex
pended by its own officers and in its own
institutions, which should be established
se as te be equally convenient te all its
people. The state should take care of all
the peer ; but it is net easy te show t here
fore it should care for the3e who are able
te care for themselves.
And it is needful that the charity which
it distributes should be dispensed by its
own band. It is net fitting that the public
money should be appropriated te the use
of privately managed institutions, as is
new se freely done. If there was no ether
objection te this practice a sufficient
one would be found in the un
even distribution ever the state of
the state's charity thus scattered.
Andlt is net proper that thebeneiiclarlesef
the state's bounty should be selected by
unofficial hands. There should be a sys
tematic distribution of the money, and a
responsibility for its distribution imposed
upon official hands. If the governor should
determine te veto all the appropriations te
privately managed Institutions of charity,
we believe that he would be acting strictly
in accordance with his duty.

W Ithdranal of Lands.
By the revocation of railroad indemnity
withd ra wals about t wenty-u ve million acres
of land will be restored te the public
domain. By the operation of the allot
ment in severalty law of the last Congress
about one hundred and twenty millions of
acres mere will be added ; and the next
C jngreas will be asked te pass bills forfeit
ing the land grants covering the unfinished
parts of sixteen reads and amounting te
about nine million acres. These granted
lands can only be forfeited by act of Con
gress, but public sentiment se strongly
supports the land policy of the administra
tion that it is probable they will reclaim
these lands.
Thus in a very short time an aggregate
of about 151,000,000 of acres will be re
stored te public settlement, which will pro
vide plenty of elbow room for years te come.
This is one reason why the independent
New Yerk llcmU comes out se strongly

that the leaders of this majority are men who

particularly bitter In their allusions te the

will wear out the stubborn opposition of the

Southern church differs from the Northern

and that union would provoke argument and

be outgrowths of the war period, the church

LAND REFORM.
Laxd Ann IUDtritttALisw, plea for Arra Taxa
tion. Uy Kstnpsr Ikicerlc
Under this title Mr. Kemper Ilocek, a
Philadelphia journalist, outlines a novel
aad radical but clear scheme of land relerm,
or rather, of tax reform.
Many geed people turn In dismay from the
very mention of radical land reform, because
the words suggest the Impracticable acheuie
of Henry Geerge, whose name Is enough te
alarm the conservative owner ei real
estate. Hut the power and eloqueuco of
"Progress and Poverty" all must con
cede, and "thore Is no smoke without
tire." On the lecture platlerm and tutors
committees of the legislature, Mr. Hoeock
hasexplalued the evils of our present system
et land taxation, ami the advauUgM of the
plan with which he would replace tt.
i lrst he lays den the principle that the
ownership el land carries ith It a duty te
iuu I'uuuu iu miij- m hum ine rigui ei way
of a railway oempiuy ; and the law.
making power can asjustly held tbe hid I
Vldual owner te aceuiiL m It cm teach cer.
porattensto respect the rUtitft the public
in relation for the eercle of eminent do
main In their behalf.
Individualism demands that "the state
should Insure rer the Individual the utmost
opportunity ler selt-culture in every diree
tlen consistent with the rights of neighboring
Individuals." He insists upon private
ownership as the essential object of land re
form and that the problem cm only be solved
by perfect distribution, lit) wants te ' make
every Individual a land owner, as far as gov
ernment can make him one by giving
him every facility for the acquisition el land
at a reasonable cost,"
He proposes te achieve the distribution of
land by the quiet use " el existing Institu
tions, with wulch the public is familiar, and
which it takes as a matter of course. "
" It may be Inferred that the desideratum
la a mtiAeif of fa-rariun that tetll make fnnil
i!uruti(e use m re jeute te the centxnu
ally tncrtasiiij; cfeuiini I thereer ; supple
mented by tmch legislation regarding the set
tlement et estates as will aid In this process
el distribution. Fer example,lt might ba made
unlawtul for an heir te inherit mere than a
certain area of laud In any ciuuty In which
he does net actually reside, tbe excess te be
sold by the sherltl and the proceeds, 1H
costs, turned Inte the estate In cash. Such a
prevision would induce many men te settle
their en n estates by selling ett land as they
had opportunity and Investing tbe money
otherwise. Inueed rich men would be less
disposed te accumulate re il estate, and thus
the monopoly demand for land weu'd be re
reduced, and Improvement promoted by the
capital thui directed Intechaunuis of greater
activity."
He then proceeds te unfold bis plan for dis
tribution ty taxation, first attacking the
present system of tawtien lMed en value
because It isataxen improvement. "A town
that wishea te induca a factory te lrcate within
Its limits exempts It lreui taxation fir a term
of years and the factory comes. This species
of exemption should become perpetual and
universal If possible. A man should net be
fined for buildings handsome beuse by beluir
compelled te pay a big tax en It, while his
next deer negnber, with a squvtty, ugly little
house tbat Is an eyesore te the neighborhood,
Is taxed lightly." "The rarmer who takes
up some wild land, clears it, fertilizes it and
makes it worth something is taxed or fined
for doing se. In one resptct, at least, we
have carried out the Socialist doctrine. The
farmer is only a tenant, the government Is
bis landlord ; the tax Is his rent and when the
tenant makes improvements the landlord,
forsooth, raises the rent."
Mr. Hecock suggests " tbit . eeiiie taxation
be substituted for tbe aJ valerem uxttien or
land, by applying te iu:h unit of measure
ment, (an aero or a square tool ), a tax r.ite of
a definite sum of money." Tun hind would
of course have te be classified and Mr. Hecock
would de this en the basts et the nature of
the community in which the land Is situ ited.
"The nature of tbe community registers Its
growth in Its municipal institutions." In a
large city, for instance, the first class et taxa
bio land would constitute the Uud fronting
en the principle street and there could be as
many classes as necessary. The publicity of
this definition would certainly ronievo the
evils of unequal valuation.
ine lenaeuey ei this system he siys, would
be te discourage large ownership el land.Njt
many men would care te pay heavy taxes en
mere than they could use. It would promote
instead et discourage improvements. Hir
ren lands net worth the taxes would be
abandoned te tbe state, or explored ler
minerals, small hemestvadsand caretul (arm
ing would take the place el great estates and
waste. y the present system the tax per
acre, is heavier en a small farm than en an
estate et a thousand acre ; for the former
must bear a larger proportion of the tax en
tbe farm buildings. Area tax ulen makes no
unjust discrimination in favor of the large
holder, or unw'he penalty upon bis mere
elaborate Improvements ; it taxes at ILe stme
rate all laud similarly situated.
His argument concludes with the follow
ing reference te the working of hH scheme In
Lancaster county :
"As an example of hew the specific
method of taxation would work, let us ex
amine the conditions of taxation in Laucater
county, Pennsylvania the richest agricul
tural county in the United States with tbe
unusually low county tax rale or two and a
half mills en tbe dollar. The assessed
value of real property In the y ear l&w, exclu
sive of the city el Laneas'er nd the borough
of Columbia, was about f70 OOO.OuO, nnd there
fore produced a nominal reveuue el (175,000
Tbe area of Improved land in the county f In
cluding Lancaster and Columbia) at the time
of tbe census enumeration in I5.5O was J'JJ, -922
acres, or a total area et (jTO.quare miles, or
ti.il, WO acres. Thus tbe amount raised by
taxing all rural property ad valerem In 1S3J,
cculd have be;u raised by a specitlc tax et
33 0 cents te the acre of improved I anil, or an
average tax et 1H2 eents te tbe acre. The
average area of a Lancaster county farm is
45 acres ; the average value et farm ltnd, in
cluding all Improvement, fiGU per acre;
se that tbe ad valerem tax, at two and a
half mills en tbe dollar, would be
one fourth of one per cent, of 15,100; tbat
Is, (13 50as the annual tax bill, or 25 cents
per acre. It may be provisionally estimated,
therefore, tbat in Lancaster county tbe effect
of substituting apecllle for ad valerem taxa
tion would be te increase the acutl taxation
according te the Improved area 10 C cents per
acie, or -12.4 pur cent. He tar as this would
operate te etlectaroductien in the average
farm area, It would reduce it from fifty-four
acres te thirty-seven acres and a half ; 37 0
acres, taxed at 35 G cents an acre, paying the
same tax that a farm of fl acres paB new.
But there are 130,000 acres of unimproved
land. Let ua suppene that 30,000 of these
Is cipable of Immediate Improvement and
should be tsxed at 35 6 cents an acre. If It
were all collected, (10,C0 would be obtained
and the tax rate en Improved land would
come down y 1 per cent If tbe 10J.00O acres
of unimproved land net yet considered were
taxed five cents te begin with, (5,000 mere
would be predued anu the tax rate en land
would come down nearly five per cent. mere.
The policy el taxing unimproved lands mere
heavily and thus relieving improved land,
while stimulating tbe unimproved te im
provement, would of course have te be
adopted gradually ; but iu benefits would be
likely te vlndica e it from the start. Doubt
less there is much unimproved laud In Lan
caster county ler instance which would be
taken up auu Improved at once if sold ter
taxes. "

On Sunday morning the return of the
vote for prothenotary in all the wards et Lau.
caster city were reported, with the exception
et the Sixth (the ward In which Candidate
Hattman resides), and It was found tbat
Jehn W. JMentzir. bad a majority In the eity
outside of tbat ward el i;,s votes. Ltter In
tbe day It was said tbat Hartman had re
celved SSS votes and Mentzsr .11 Iu that ward.
An Investigation resulted In 112 cltlsns,
among them many of the best known
residents of the ward, coming forward and
swearing tbat they had cast their votes for
Meutr.Br.
The matter was laid before the Investiga
ting committee and they reported te the re
turn Judges in accordance with the above
facts, but that body, after hearing the report,
at once proceeded te receive the Sixth ward
return as sent In, in the lace of the fact that
It was proved fraud 1 We have never known
of the action of any public body se absolutely
Indefensible as this. The proper thing for
the convention te have done was te threw
out this fraudulent return altogether, or, if
uch anion was net permissible under the
rules, te have thrown tt out "te tbe extent of
the fraud." This would have been In accord
with a literal Interpretation of the rules, and
would have evinced a disposition te make
right te some extent a manifest wrneg. In
the face of sworn and unimpeachable testi
mony te admit the false return, was te en
dorse what tbe beard knew, and what every-
m-ujr kuvw, was a irauu.
Tee sixth ward return was a manifest
fraud ou its fa:e. It is true it altered no re
sult except in the case of Jacob S. Smith,
candidate ter prison keeper. His opponent,
S. W. Shirk, received tbere .Mi votes te
Smith's 50, thereby defeating tbe latter by
51 votes, though Smith has already obtained
the alUJavltsef a sufficient number of citi
zens te show that he received votes enough
iu the ward te uemlnate him tt preperly re
turned.
It Is net alone the candidates who are In
terested In this matter. It is the right of
every citlzm te have his vote csunted for the
person whom It Is cast, and, whether or net
results are affected, no political convention
has a right te receive and euderse a return
that Is shown te be false. It ts a wrong te
tbe public and a disgrace tn the party that
should be wiped out by prompt reparation.
The Sixth ward la a manifest fraud and
proved te be t-uch by sworn testimony.
Homebody is guilty ; who is it? The pub
lic, and esrveclilly the voters of the ward,
have a right te knew. It Is net necessary te
suppose that all the officers of the election are
guilty; quite probably they are net. Hut
some one iu that beard la guilty and knows
all about the transaction whereby this wrong
was committed against the people of Lancas
ter county. Kvery possible effort should be
made te unearth this gieat wrong.
