Tlio West Hide says of tills rejiert: "II places our erodlt iim a county on a much lower plain than the report of April last. From the olio report we wcio led to hellevo tlio county was about $11,000 above the boards. In the last it is about $10,000 behind." This is a disap pointing discrepancy, and Mr. 1). V. Hoars, a former clerk of Polk county, endeavors to explain It by pointing to the delluiUeiit list, lie wtys:"lu tlio published statement of the ooiiuty, all delinquent last and all other resources ate given la full; and also all indebtedness Is shown up as nearly as possible. The value of the dcllmiueut list no one knows, and It can only lm u pnixlmatcd." The approximation Is given In tlieaboe table, and Is plaeod at iX per cent, of the delin quent tnc. This is not com prehensible to an outsider. The property on hleh the tax Is levied should 1st good for the taxi's, and It is the business of the sheriff to onfbivo the collection by public side. This is harsh, of course, but Justice must lHo.Hvted. I'mperty hold ers, In Polk county as oleewhero, will hold on to their lauds, notwith standing thoy can put the groatcr Mirtion of It to no pmlltable um. Those men will live in discomfort and isivcrty, starve their stock In the winter and let their taxes Ih imiiiu dellmiuent from an Insensate laud grtHsl which a reform writer proDoiiiicos "anti-MHilal and sululd al."

Hie evil ( i arr Utg lxo u i)m eouut A sisicch delivered by Mr. Olad stone at Leeds some years ago is resurrected as appropriate to the present occasion. It is not consis tent with the expressions of some of the English newspaiiers, but com ing from a profound statesman it is worthy of consideratien: I will say this, that as long as America adheres to the protective system your commercial supremacy Is secure. Nothing in the world can wrest it from you while America continues to fetter her own strong hands and anus and with these fettered arms is content to compete Willi you, who are free, in neutral markets. And as lonir as America follows tlio doctrines now known as llifiMi n( fulr trade, von are lorfectly safe and you need not allow, any of you, even your iigmesi siumiieiB to be disturbed by the fear that America will take from you your commercial supremacy. Itni'OKTH from England show the unwillingness of that people to accept Mr. Donnelly's Ilaconian theory of the Khakspere plays. Mr. Augustln Daly mentions an in cident conllrmatory of this fact. Jlls dramatic company visited the bnrd's birthplace a week or two ngo, and one of the party Inquired of the venerable guide what he thought of thoMi people who said Shaksjiere did not write the plays. "Well, ma'am," said lie, slowly arranging his Ideas, "there be people all about nowadays as is denyin' their Kavlour, and I think thoy must be the same." This shows that an attack on the prevailing bard is an assault on the religion of some classes. We learn that the name of Mr. Daly has been enrolled along with those of Mary Anderson and Edwin Ilooth as governors of the Khakspere memorial fund. Now the salmon llsherman havo formed themselves Into a trust or combine, and undertake to exclude all persons from tlshiug' in the Bound who are not members of their association They havo llxed the price at which they will sell tlsh, and will not penult anyone to sell salmon for less than this tlxed rate. Tills is all right enough if the public Interest Is to be saerlllced to the policy of protection. Put a good thing can be carried too far, and when every article In general use Is cornered that a few thousand operators may make a deal, it does seem as If the wrong principle prevailed, and it was time for the consumer to put in a word.
