small pox Ana Baltimore.

DR.. Taylor, Commissioner of Health, makes
a somewhat gloomy exhibit of the prevalence
Of smallpox in Baltimore, and recommends
the adoption of such preventive measures as
will be most efficient towards staying the
spead Of the disease. He complains that the
disposition Of many persons to underestimate
the danger, and to conceal the fact that the
disease exists in their houses, interferes very
seriously with the operation of sanitary pre-
caution, and wishes the rule made compulsory
that vaccination shall be submitted to in all
instances where the physician may deem it
necessary, aud that all cases shall be reported
Immediately to the Board Of Health. DR..
Taylor states that there are now forty-five
patients at the Marine Hospital, and the num-
Der is being added to daily, while many are
concealed in private houses. With such very
good reasons for the system that he urges, the
Council should feel constrained to give bis
suggestions earnest consideration and speedy
action. There were six deaths from small
pox 10 the city last week.-Anlerican.

Bedford county, Pa. was held on the 18th,
at which William Haitley was chosen Repre-
sentative Delegate to the Democratic State
Convention, and the following resolution,
among others, adopted by reclamation:
Resolred, That it is the earnest desire oil
the Democrats of Bedford county, as it should
be of all patriotic citizens, that the several
political elements whose common creed is the
preservation of our liberal form ofgovernment
and resistance to the centralizing influences
and corrupt practices which under the present
nondescript administration are so rapidly un-
dermining the foundations of our Republican
system, may unite upon candidates and a
platform of principles at the impending Pres
idential election, and that mutual concessions
looking to such union may be freely and
cheerfully made.

that "the proposed withdrawal of the party
was matter about which Democrats might
well differ. For himself he was free to con-
fess that the adoption of the passive or Missouri
policy was our only hope. The great desire
OF every patriotic heart was the defeat Of Grant
and to bring about change ofaffairs. This
could not be accomplished by the Democratic

OBITUARY.

Died, at his home, on Waverly farm, on Sa-
turday morning, February 18th, Mr.. JOHN T
HERBERT, in his 64th year.
Thus has passed from this life-we have rea-
son to hope-to better, good man, kind,
afectionate husband and father, and an honest
and faithful friend. His manners were gentle
and refined, his heart pure-free, as far as we
could Judge, from every unkind and selfish
thought. Though fully conscious of his situa-
ton, his last hours were calm and peaceful, and
he gently passed away without fear. Fit
ending of such life as his By his sterling
qualities and kindly manners he has won the
affections of many, the respect of all. His death
will be sincerely regretted by his friends.

The Maryland Democrats and Present
Policy.


Hon. John Richie, member of the national
House of Representatives from the fourth
district of this State, writes to the Baltimore
Sun from Washington in relation to the caucus
with the Democratic members If the Legisla
ture at Annapolis last week and explains the
policy now advocated. He says:
Messrs Editors: The correspondence from
Annapolis published in The Sun inregard to
the Democratic caucus of Wednesday night
declares that "the speakers Messrs. Hamilten,
Merrick and myself generally advised the
party to remain inactive" This expression,
coupled with the head line, maryland Dem
ocracy and the Passive Policy" has been
understood by some to imply that what is
known as .'Passivism" had been recommended.
Such. an impression is erroneous. The
speakers simply deprecated taking formal
action Of any kind at tbis time. When we
consider either the differences now dis,racting
and daily multiplying 10 the Republican party,
the full effect of which cannot yet be estima-
ted, or on the other hand, the various and
conflicting views prevailing in our own ranks,
it would seem inadvisable for the Democrats
of Maryland now to take action as to the
Presidential campaign.
tits the universal Judgment Of all our friends
in Congress, however variant their individual
views as to what should ultimately be done.
that our true policy al present is to watch
and wait.
At another point Of his letter Mr.. Richie
says: Nearly two months remain yet before,
in any aspect, steps need be taken to call a
National Democratic Convention, the only
body, by the way, authorized to dictate
platform or policy. Much will doubtless
trahspire during that time tending to enlighten
and consolidate the Judgment Of our party.
Meanwhile our prospects are hourly bright
ening. The fruits of success are conceded to
be within our reach, but the hand only OF
discretion can gather them.
This recommendation OF delay must not
be misconstrued. 1t has my approval, not
as device to undermine the organization of
our party or to smooth the way for an aban-
donment or adulieration of its principles. 1t
is in order that both may be promoted, and
it is matter of tactics merely.

The Ceal Tax---PrOPosed Reduction Of
TolIs ON tlse CumbeFHRnd and Psmn.
sylvxnfa Raflroaa.
: As matter of interest to our people we copy
the following article, which appeared as .
Communication, in the Baltimore Gazette of
the l4th instant. The argument in favor of
the proposed tar seems both reasonable and
strong. The tax is moderate and the interest
sufficiently developed to maintain it without
seriously feeling it. This industry having
reached its present high development, in great
measure, through the medium of State aid, it
would seem but just that it should bear just
proportion of the burdens of the State. The
bill providing for the taxation of this interest,
on Monday last, reached its second reading in
the Senate:
Nearly half the session of the Legislature has
passed, and yet no appreciate progress appears
TO have been made in the work of equalizing
the taxation of the State. The recommends
lions of the Comptroller have not been needed,
the Democratic party will be held accountable,
Hno Improvement is made in the financial con-
ditioni of the Treasury, and no relief given to
the oyerburdened interests, by the equalization
Of Taxation. The proposed tax on coal rests
upon the most unassailable ground of justice,
that peculiar interest having been developed at
an immense sacrifice of the means of the State,
supplied through the avenues of taxation upon
MI the visible property of the people, produc-
tire and reproductive. The agricultural and
property interests have stood taxation for years
and years, to give development to this branch
sfindustry, which, in its turn, is now strong,
and capable Of bearing directly, at least to some
extent, portion of the burden created for its
benefit The proposed tax is one cent more on
the ton than the tax imposed by Pennsylvania
on the production of their anthracite coal, but
atennage tax also exists there of two cents per
ton on the transportation Of coaf produced from
sny Of the mines of that State. The ordinary
rules Of competitive trade viii of course throw
fhez payment of the proposed tax on the pro-
Queer Of the coal, for whose benefit tho inn
mense outlay has been made by the State.
The trihing extent Of this modest little tar,
howeYer, to operate as burden on the produc-
don 81 coal in this State win be easily seen,
when the facts and statistics I'm regard to the
cspecity Of that interest are properly under
