Any law or system of taxation that exempts railrond property from municipal wxation or reiieves such property from assessment is void on its face. There iino doubt t the ecity of Omahacould lega!ly compel the railronds to pay their city taxes, even if the legis- lature had not enncted a specific law to thut effect. They can and ought to be taxed, not only upon the property out- side of the right of way but upon cvery inch of ground they own within the city limits,whether it is used for railronds or has leased by the railvouds to other corporations or individuals M, Desty’s *Digest wation” lays down the following ruie irds ilvond taxation, as sustained by numer- ous decisions by various state courts as well us by the federal supremo cou *The real estate of a railroad is taxal taxes the ix, ds cities, ke s, or by sp i, tion o Por Lority to usses s been on as in the county, city ov town where it is situated and their personalty at the place where their principal offico is situated.

This with- drawal of capital has bad the prompt effect of rovolutionizing public senti- ment regarding the law and wing general demand for its repeal. Both of these circumstances furnish instructive and suggestive lessons.

The rush of yoling men from the farm districts to the cities is to bs d and should be discouraged. pecially is this truo in the festile prairie states of the woast, where lands are com- paratively cheap and the soil practically inexhaustible. Ohly three out of 100 men who embark in mosreantile pur- suits are succasshil, than 10 cent of the farmers who are reasonably industiious, sober and skillful ave liable to lose their livélihood by foreclosure of their furms. A farmer has more leisure than any man in moseeantile life who is obliged to contor all his w0 meet the constantly ineveasing competi- tion. Libor saving machinery has taken away a large part of the drudgery of farm life.

Of course thero three classes of farmers in every country—lund owners out of debt, land ownars in debt and tenant favmers.

Practical men have given the matter serious con- sideration, and - philanthropists huve wiven substantiai aid to the solution of the problem. There has just opened in Philadelpbin an institution dedicated to industrial education having a capacity for 2,000 pupils, the largest and best equipped school of the kind in the country. More such institutions are needed, and in time moro will be vided, either by private liberality, or by the people themselves, e mand for industrial education will .l to ve met. Meanwhile there are the public schools in which to muke a be- ginning, and there are few who now question the wisdom or expediency of utilizing them, within necessary limita- tions, for this The oxperi- ment, so far it has been tried, has been ont y successful, and it is not now a question of introducing industrial training into the schools, but sim- ply how far it should be ried in them. It being granted that for industrial, mechanieal and artistic peopls common school opportunities for acquiring o knowledge of industries, mechanics and arts are essential, the question of the bounds to be t upon such instruction in the schools of the veople need not present any great difli- culties, been pro- wse the de- purpose. as e BErwEEN the advices from Chili and the information from Washington, the public is kept in a continual stite of un- certainty regurding the real status of the complication and what the possibili- ties a settlement.
