Herald's Madrid correspondent telegraphs hearing that rumors of a crisis had been spread after the council presided over by the king: "I endeavored to obtain the opinion of Marshal Campos. He declares that he cannot answer for the future, though he will not desert his post. He is disposed to resist the revo lutionary movement, even if it breaks out in Madrid, as some of the revolutionary agents have an nounced that it would. Campos and Sagasta differ on the constitu tionality guaranty and the keep ing up of a state of siege. Sagas ta says the siege ought to be raised before the kinjr groes the round of the provincial garrison. All the late intrigues and move ments were entirely military. They were far more extensive than Cam pos confesses. The military au thorities, by numerous arrests of civilians, wish to put public opin ion off the scent. In official circles the friends of Sagasta ad mit that he may seize this oppor tunity to get rid of Campos, whose unpopularity in the army has con tributed to slacken the energy on the part of military authorities in the discovery of revolutionary work. Sagasta thinks that the moment is opportune for placing some Alfonsis general in the war office and at the same time of obliging the dynastic left. Serra no announces that it is a move of liberalism in defense of monarchy and against democracy; in placing the king between the dilemma of acceptance or rebellion. Tiie king is disposed blindly to follow the conservative course. Campos deceived him in the state of the army and wanted to make him pander to military insubordina tion by visits to the barracks. The king chose to have a review on Tuesday instead. The king does not even relish the proposition of a military tour. "I have seen coppies of a procla mation issued by the revolution ists in Baradoes, Soo de Urgel Barcelona, and Seville. They all proclaim a republic, with a consti tution of 18G9, religious liberty, separation of church and state and the autonomy of the communes, with judicial reforms everywhere. The people looked on at the mili tary movement and showed hosti lities to its military signification, but made no attempt at a royalist counter demonstration. Even the royalists around the king believed that, although the revolution has failed, it will break out again later if Sagasta does not succeed in forming a new cabinet. The king would prefer some conciliating cabinet, with Marshal Concha or Posada Lerrettia. The king's journey to Germany is not at all decided in diplomatic circles. The people say that it will bo aban doned for fear of fresh outbreaks. The news from the south and Andalusia is still disquieting. This prevents the king from leav ing Madrid for a few days." The French speculators raised 750000 francs for the purpose of corrupting the Spanish army and bringing about the rising. The paper making this assertion promises to give more particulars concerning the scheme when the censorship concerning the press is abolished. Some official journals admit that there may be some foundation for the story. Equal Taxation. The discussion of the "mortgage tax" law in this state recalls a case in Jackson county that upsets all theories of political economy and makes money the real value in stead of the representative. A citizen of Jacksonville loaned $4, 500 on & ranch. Being an honest man he paid taxes on the full amount of the note for several years making no attempt to hide the investment Subsequently he ra&do improvements on the place costing $1,500 more, making $6,--000: cash invested. Finally he was liged to take the ranch for his claim and the very first year git was in his possession the assessor fixed its value at $2,500. Since that valuation the ranch has been sold to a California party for 8000, cash, and if the assessor in creases the valuation this 3'ear he will only acknowledge a previous error. Now, is taxation equal? or, is real estate made to bear its just share of taxation? Certainly not for if the last owner of the land referred to were found in possession of S000 in coin he would have been taxed on that amount, as it is, he has exchanged it for land and,for purposes of tax ation, has virtually hidden two thirds of it away. The equality of taxation under our system, that places full power to fix valuation with the assessor, is all moonshine and is a pernicious practice.--JuckmmvlU' ticittuicl. The Northern Pacific. A Xew York special gives a column interview with vice presi dent Oakes of the Northern Pa cific who said: "I can state that all our enterprises under control of cither the Northern Pacific or Oregon Transcontinental are now so far advanced that, at the expi ration of fifty or ninety days, no more money will be required for construction purposes. The earn ings for August will be at the rate of 9,000.000 per annum, or 800, 000 for October; $1,:)00,000 of these earnings include earnings from construction, which, for the last fiscal year, were 10 per cent of the gross amount reported." A circular from Commissioner Fink, announces that the standing committee of the joint executive railroad committee, at a meeting held in New York August Sth, acted upon the following matters: The committee considered the ap plication of the Northern Pacific Railway made through John Muir, superintendent of traffic that upon the opening of that company's road for through traffic on September 8, 1S83, the roads east of Chicago accept the same rates and portions of rates on freight traffic to and from points from Portland, Or., and Lake Pen I D'Oreille inclusive as are accepted on Pacific coast traffic on the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads. A letter from Commis sioner Starman was read, stating that thelines of the Northwestern Traffic Association would accept the same divisions between Chi cago or Milwaukee and St. Paul on general traffic via the Northern Pacific Railroad as are accepted! by the Jowa Trunk Lines' Associ ation on California business via the "Union and Central Pacific. It was agreed that, until further no tice, the existing divisions east of Chicago on Pacific coast business in both directions will be accepted on shipments via the Northern Pacific. The contemplated opening of the Northern Pacific has been well advertised in Germany. The Berlin Tagblatt states that invita tions to attend, through delegates, at the opening ceremonies, have been sent to all the larger cities of Germany, and the invitations have been accompanied by railway and steamer tickets, coming and going. Thirty of these tickets have been accepted and will be turned to use. "Upon a splendid vessel," says the TaffMutt, "thirty of the best berths have been reserved for the guests of the great North American railroad. That these gentlemen will be treated in the most hospitable manner after their arrival in the United States is also self-evident." One of this party is to be Max "Weber, the national liberal deputy in the German par liament. Another is expected to be Dr. Kapp, formerly a resident of the United States. Thev ex pect the trip to occupy about two months. The German press does not seem to suspect that the. hope of selling stock to German capi talists and of influencing emigra tion to the wheat lands of the Northern Pacific railroad may have had something to do with this display of international courtesy. The lawyer who has a bad crim inal case to defend does not court the intelligent juror. A great many sensible men are summoned on the panel, but it is rarely one of the number is willingly ac cepted. The sort of person who is desired in that capacity is the illiterate man who never reads, and who, if he can be found, has at some time been a violator of the law himself, and is supposed to have sympathies with the pris oner at the bar. A farce of jury selecting has just been performed in Tennesee. Polk, the defaulting state treasurer, was up for trial. Before a jury could be obtained to suit the defence different pan-j nels containing two thousand men1 .... . 1 were rejected, it there is any one subject more than another upon which there is a unanimity of opinion among the people, it is that the jury system should be re formed; and yet nothing is done by our law.niakers in that direc tion. .S J Call. Dr. Fonruie, the French physi ologist, describes hunger as a gen eral desire for food of any kind, while appetite is the leeling of pleasure which results from grat ifying that desire. When we are not hungry, appetite often comes while we are eating, or even at the mere sight and smell of some fa vorite dish. The seat of the feel ing of hunger has been much dis cussed, and many theories have been proposed to account for the sensation. Dr. Fournie's view is i as follows. On the approach of the time for eating, the glands of the stomach become filled and dis tended. They are then ready to perform their function of digesting food, and if food is not introduced they continue to distend, giving rise to the uncomfc-tablc feelin called hunger. ft Absolutely Pure.
