The Vote, as anticipated, was clow, but email as the majority w.sit is decisive snd tariff agitation is settled fornnother year.

Tub treatment of the triple of Dakota by the Democrat in Congress in unpar donable and cannot be misunderstood or excused. Nothing but political rea-ons prevent it admission to the Union a a State. Dakota contains a pulHtion of .Vio,i'il ptsij.le which would entitle them to two member of Congress, but the IVm.sT.itM refuse to entnt them the right of Statehood, because they would eer Liinly ehs-t Republican nipn-Hentativc. At the ivime time they are w tiling to ad mit Washington Territory with a popula tion of 210.(100, and Montana Territory with 110.i"Xl tidiabitatits beoausc there is a prolwtbility that they will go Democrat ic It looks as if Dakota w ill not get jus tice until after lssi, when the Republi cans come back into siwer. Now that the revenue of the State are so ample and are even greater than are ni-eded, would it not le a good idea for the coming Legislature w hen revising the license laws, to pro i.le for an increased lio-:isi' ti-e and divert the money thus r.dsed, trout the State Treasury, into the dillen iit county treasuries? If the evils Isirn of the liipior tiatlic have to lie Ixime by the is.unlii-s, why should they not re vie the Wnelit of the taxes assesstsl iism it '.' Tle re are a ire of good rea sons why ihis should be done and not a valid one that can Ik- urged against it. The State no longer needs the revenues from this source, and until constitutional prohibition comes, if come it does, local taxation would lie largely decreased by authorizing the county oiticials to collect and appropriate the taxe imposed upon this tratlic. Now that the tariff ijuestioti is appar ently sittled for this s.-ssion. Memls-rs of ('.-ngres.s who are borrowing trouble oyer an anticipated surplus, may well de vote their time to measures reducing tax ation and thus preventing the surplus which they dread. There is no valid reason why the " odious war taxes " im swd and c ili.Hted in the shape of iu terniil revenue should not 1m' entirely vvijssl out, or at least largely reduced. If 1 he present rev . n nes are too large, as is a---rte. why not rejs-al the tax on to bacco and spirits in whole or in jmrt? Why should the lals.ring men piiy a tax on the only luxury he s iinits himself the tobacco he consumes or w hy should not the Uix lie taken off spirits, or at least iie reduced from ninety to fifty or forty rents kt gallon ? If this lie done, and the other minor taxes uu bunks, cM lie rcK.iiled, fruii fifty to one hundred and twenty millions of dollars can be annual ly lifted off the necks of the tax payers and thus the danger of a large surplus in the Treasury be avoided. Is the year lS73the legislature regal ed the lax on hores and cattle for State pnrrfiSA. In a number of the counties, the CommisHioncra overlooked the re ieal of the law and continued to have this chu of property aswssed, collected the tax and returned the amount to the State authorities for the years 1S7 , lS7ti and lh77. By this mistake about SI SO,(S0 was impro-rly collected. When the error was discoyensl 1-tl'ort.s were at once made to have the money refunded, but as then; was no way by which it could !? paid back directly to the tax-payers no definite action was taken. At a re cent mis iing of the State Roard of Rev enue t kiinmissioners the matter was ful ly disctiKsedin.l was unanimously agnred by the Board cotnsised of W. S. Stenger Sevn-tary of the Commonwealth ; Jerome li. N i it", Auditor tteneral, and Mathew S. Quay, .Mate Treasurer, to give prviM-r ere. litis to nil the rounti.w that erroneous ly paid this tux. If we are not mistaken this county isentith-d to a cnslit of alsiut "i,0tl0, which will be quite an item to the tax-payers, w hose burden is unusual ly large at th is time, by reason ofthe large numlsjr of bridgist the Commissioners have been tyimis'lled to build within the jKist few yearn, A Band of Murderers.
