ridiculous. The "General” should now
go home and relieve those neighbors
whom he says are doing his plowing.
Whatever is possible for him to do in
the way of saving his country he has
now done, and there is nothing more
for him to do. We are willing to con
cede that afte1 the Coxey efforts of
yesterday, the country will now, on a
pinch, be able to pull through.

Assessment Reform.
rThe inequality in assessments of real
and personal property in Missouri has
become a state grievance of no small
piopmtions and there is a strong popu-
lar demand for some action, legislative
or otherwise, by which existing evils
may be remedied and gross irregulari-
ties adjusted.
‘ As a preliminary step to such action
Gov. Stone, at the suggest; a of many
of the county assessors themselVes, and
upon the further reCommendation of
the state board, has called a convention
at Des Moines for May" .2, which every
assessor in Missouri will be urgently
requested to attend.
The object in view is to agree upon
some basis, if possible, whereby to
'bring about approximate equality in
assessments and a closer confmmity to
law. A convention of th1s character in
Indiana is said to have been followed
by excellent results, and probably will
be in this case.
The question is one of very general
interest and whatever additional light
can be thrown upon it or whatever
measures adopted to reach its just and
permanent solution, will attract the at-
tention of the tax- pay 1n‘r public all
over the country. .

Frank HattOn Dead.
Frank flatten, the brilliant and ver-
satile cditor of the Washington Post,
died at his home in the Capital city
yesterday afternoon. He was a few
days since stricken with paralysis from
which he never fully rallied and early
yesterday morning 1.1+». experienced what
his physicians knew was to be a fatal
1elapse. His physicians had under-
stood from the , first, however, that
there, was a dangerous complication to
deal within a kidney trouble from
which Mr. Hatton had been a sufferer,
though in a mild way, and this trouble
prlmarily caused his death.
He was born in Cambridge, Ohio,
April 28,1846. His father, Richard
Hatton, published the Cadiz Republi-
can, his son when eleven years old go-
‘ ing into the oflice of this paper and
learningthe trade of a printer. It is
but a comparitively few days since that
he narrated'with much enthusiasm, to
the 'EdltOl‘ of this paper, his happy ex-
periences as a compositor at the case
in his father’s printing office
His grandfather was a soldiero’f the
War of 1812, and his'great-grandfather
died in WashingtOn’s army. 'When the
War of the Rebellion" commenced
young Hutton enlisted in the 98th Ohio '
infantry as a drummer, and in 1864 was
commissioned lieutenant.
"On his return from the war he be-
Came local editor of his father’s news-
paper. His father removed to Mount
Pleasant, Iowa,
Journal of that town and the young
mauiwas its editor after his father's
death in 1869. He purchased a half in-
terest, in the Burlington Hawkeye in
1874.~.and it was not long before he
owned the whole property.
He was Postmaster in Bailington for
a few years prior to 1881, when Presi-
dent Arthur appointed him First As-
sistant Postmaster General, and he
served from October. 1881, to October,
1834, when the death of Secretary of
the Treasury Folger led to the appoint-
ment of Postmaster General Gresham
to the vacant position and President
Arthur tendered the office of Post-mas-
ter General to Mr. Hatton. He was
the youngest cabinet officer who ever

ilton alone excepted.
While serving ' as First Assistant

in W ashington, which be retained until
the summer of 1884, when he removed
to Chicago and assisted the reoi'ganiza-
tion of the Mail, of which he retained
editorial control until 1888. He and
"Robert P. Porter, afterward Superin-

Mr. Hutton severed his connection
with the Press in January, 1889, and
formed a partnership with ex-Bepre-
sentative Beriah Wilkins, 'of Ohio.
They purchased the Washington Post,
of Which Mr. Hutton assumed the edi-
torial charge, retaining it until his
death.
He loved his neWSpaper work and

Education in the South.

session at Meiehead City for the fort-
night commencing Juue thh, and we

North and South, will undoubtedly be
present in large numbers, to encourage
by their attendance and counsel and
influence, the progress of it e cause of
public instruction in that section of
the country.
North Carolina is doing remarkably
well with her school System and over-
coming the hindrances and embarrass-
ments that formerly stood in the way
of its best development. The reports
of the teachers’ assembly this year
will, in all probability, showthat the
Old North State is still rapidly gaining
in the number andefiiciency and scope
of her commoni'schools, or if other-
wise that it is not the fault of their
admirable corps. of instructors.

The Approaching Electlon.
Chairman Babcock’s warning to the
Republican leaders was issued none too
soon. The executive head of the Re-
publican Congressional campaign com-
mittee made a very thorough and care-
ful diagnosis of the case, and there are
recent developments which tend to
show that the Democrats don’ t intend
to allow future elections to go by de-
fault. Notwithstanding the disafl'ection
that exists and the fault that is being
found with certain Democratic leaders,
that party is engaged in organizing in
all parts of the country, and the senti-
ment which appears to be with the Re-
publicans is to be met with a thoroughly
drilled party organization. Rallying
from disappointment has in the past
been the distinguishingfeature of the
Democratic party, and it appears that
its adhesive powers are still act1ve.
The election of a successor to Sena-
tor Blanchard in the Fourth Louisiana
Congressional district, in the face of
considerable talk of Populist gains in
the South, is one straw that indicates
that it will not do for the Republican
campaign managers to depend too much
on assistance in that q-uarter.‘ The
Democrat who will succeed Mr. Blan-
chard in the House triumphed over the
combined forces of the Republicans
and Populists. From Chicago. comes
the news that the city, county, 'State
and Federal officers of that place have
just completedan organization of im-
mense proportions. It is to be con-
ducted on Tammany lines, and its first
mission is to elect a Democratic Legis-
lature in order that Senator Palmer
may have a Democraticcolleague.
Even in Ohio the Democrats appear
to have recovered from their dazed
condition, and, under the leadership of
ex-Gov. Campbell, are making a most
saucy fight for the recovery of a Dem-
ocratic Congressional district that was
carried 'hv Gov. McKinley last Novem-
ber by a plurality of 560. They may
not succeed, but this is but another in-
cident which got-s to show that it is
a great mistake .to assume that the
Democratic party will not make a stub-
born and determined fight to hold its
present vantage points. If Chairman
Babcock can rescue his party from the
have taken possession of it, and wake"
it up to the necessity of organization,
he may be able, says the Washington
Post, to continue the Republican victo-
ries that have been so frequent of late,
but it is by no means’sure that the next
House of Representatives will contain
a majority of Republicdn members.
'If the Republicans carry the next
House they will have to organize and
fight hard for it.
Democracy and the Income Tax.
Senator Voorhees tells us, says the
Washington Post,'thatz the income tax
is to stay in the. tariff .bill, “no matter
what may be in the air,” and we snatch
from this somewhat picturesque meta-
phor the inference that the Democratic
leaders have concluded to make that
specimen of class legislation the piece
dc resistance of the banQuet which they
are to set before the country.
For ourselves, we are sorry to hear
this. In the first place, the intrusion
of the income tax weakens, the bill,
crystallizes and intensities opposition,
suspense, through which the country is
passing. In the next place, after doing
so~ much preli minary harm, it- will,
even should it eventually become a
law, continue its mischievous activity.
The Post ardently desires to see the
- present administration score... 9 brilliant
success. We desire it more in this case
than ever, before, because the country
has not, for many years, experienced
so dreadful an emergency or such urg-
ent need of wise, patriotic, and enlight-
ened action. The incumbent govern-
ment, for the next three years at least,
is. and will be, the only medium through
which relief can be obtained, and, in
praying for its welfare, we look to the
people’s happiness and prosperity. It
is inconceivable, however, as we see
the matter, that any general or lasting
good can come of the income tax that
Senator Voorhees has adepted as his
ultimatum. It is not in harmony with
free institions. It is not'in harmony
with Democratic ideas, so far as those
ted States, will hold its eleventh annual !
meeting promises to be ol unpleced-I 5
wave of overconfidence that seems to!

ideas have been expounded in the
party’ s authorized utterances. It is,
‘on the contrary, one of the craziest of
all the crazy lads of Populism, bor-
rowed by way of a demagogue appeal
to the rabble. We know that it de-
serves defeat and repudiation, and we
hope that it will receive its just deserts.
Mr. Voorhees, of course, is in a posi-
,tion to say that it shall remain in the
Wilson bill.
the Committee of Finance. of which
he is the chairman, and that we assume
is final. But it remains to be seen
Iwhether Mr. Voorhees, after perma-
nently adopting it as a party measure,
can accomplish its enaction into law.
! There is still a doubt whether a majori-
ty of the Sénators are willing to pay
that price of stultification for the empty
eclat of passing a tariff bill.
Economical t‘v’i't'liout Parsimttny and En-
courages Home Enterprises.
A town or City is just what its citi-
zens make it. Given the right sort of
people, and a desert waste will be trans-
formed into a garden that shall bloom
like the rose and a straggling settlement
into a thriving city. Given the wrong
sort of citizens, and all the advantages
of soil, climate, geographical position
and wealth will go for naught. Manu-
factures do not make the city. It' is the
city that makes the manufactures. The
stockyards and the grain elevators did
not make Chicago; pork packing did not
make Cincinnati; a. 1)railroad center did
not make Indianapolis. In each case the
city is the cause and the business the
effect. These cities had public spirited
men, and they attracted the kind of
business which is located in them—that
is all. ,
And what is the right kind of a citi-
zen? He is tlio man who does not look
across the o inti ucnt for . n investment,
couragos home enterprises. The right
kind of citir. on d 005 not g'ru mblc about

citizen knows the disti action between
the virtue of economy, which avoids all
waste, but spends mo: ey freely for pub-
lic improvements, and the 1 ice of parsi-
mony, that sp; 1.11:1 nothing 1.111 ess ub~
solutely compelle lto. The right kind
of citizen may not be a wealthy uran—
indeed he is more frequently not one——
but he cheerfully helps support the pub-
lic schools and the churches, and he is
in favor of the public library.
The right kind of citizen believes in
well lighted streets and good sidewalks,
for he knows that vice and crime hate
gaslight and electric light almost as
much as they do daylight, and that they
delight in darkness. He also knows that
these things give a good impression to
strangers. The right kind of citizen also
is fully aware of the fact that no expend-
iture brings so great a return to the
citizen as that which he pays in taxes
provided it be honestly and judiciously
applied. '
