AT the hist session of the Legislature important changes were made in the laws regulating taxes in this state. The personal and real estate taxes arc now kept separate and do not become delin quent at the same time. While all taxes for the past year are now due the per sonal tax does not become delinquent and need not be paid until the first day of next February. The tax on real es tate is not delinquent and need not be paid until the first day of next May. This makes the payment of taxes easier upon the people and our Representatives are deserving of thanks for aiding in the passage of so good a law. THE Federation of Labor Unions of the United States and Canada resumed its session Friday and took up for con sideration the resolution providing that the eight hour rule shall take effect from May 1 next. The question caused a general debate. The intention was not to force a strike or to compel organiza tions to do what they did not ft-el able to do. With this understanding it was j said that all the delegates were in favor of the resolution. Tt was thought that the resolution in the present form did not convey this intention as clearly as it shouldand , the resolution with amend ments , was referred to the committee on resolutions for revision. Congress will be urged to consider the subject. SENATOR MANDERSON is getting- some good work for the soldiers. He has introduced a pension bill doing away with the flummery that delays justice to soldiers' widows by making the wid ow of a pensioned soldier a pensioner without further application or without proof that the death of her husband was the direct result of disabilities received in the army. His bill also provides that all enlisted men who served for one year and whose discharge papers show that they were disabled in the service , or were not fit for re-enlistment , shall be prima facie entitled to pensions. This will relieve many applicants of the ne cessity of hunting up army surgeons all over the face of the country or some physician in civil life who treated them at the time. The Senator has also in troduced a bill for the location of a sol diers' home somewhere within the boundaries of Minnesota , Iowa. Nebras ka , Dakota or Colorado , and appropri ating $250,000 for the erection of the necessary buildings. State Journal. THE Prince of Wales was the object of a very thin conspiracy on the part of a young man in Kensington , to get money out of his privy purse. The young man represented that he had been elected by a secret society of noble dy namiters to destroy "Wales , but that the more he thought about it the more his heart relented. Still he would have to kill the prince or be killed himself by his brethren of the vehmgericht unless lie had money enough to take him out of the country. About 750 pounds ster ling would be sufficient. The police made an appointment with the young man to pay him the money and then raked him in. The young man did not consider that the prince is always about a million in debt and might as well be blown up with dynamite as to be bled by soft-hearted dynamiters for hard cash. Journal. DCRINU a sober interval , which ho enjoyed last Saturday. Mr. J. K. Km- met , in the presence of witnesses , gave ' to his wife the sum of $150,000 in gov-1 eminent bonds .as a Christina * gift and as a part , refutation of the rumors' which have grown out of his numerous sprees. Tt was a very graceful thing to I do , no doubt , and the chances arc that the boiidwill be better c.ircd for now i than they would have been had the } * re mained in Mr. Emmet's own hands. But l it doesn't seem to occur to him that a much better Christmas gift and a strong er refutation of the rumors would have been a promi.ieto reform sincerely given and sacredly kept. It is very foolish for the wife of a drunken man to care more for the man usually than .she does for about all the money in the world , but that N one of the foolish things wo men do , probably for the same reason that some men get drunk. SENATOR HARRISON'S retort on But ler and Vest that from their indigna tion at Dakota expressed in their raid on her , one would imagine that she was conspiring to break out of the union in stead of doing her best to get in , was very neat. The attack of democrats on Dakota for her earnest effort to become a state is one of the curiosities of daui- phool politics. Journal. For the first time in the history of the United States there is not a single Smith in Congress. DISPLAY ! AT THE - .oal. hot Never Follow !
