TWELFTH WEEK OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION
THE MD. Il DEL. SHIP CANAL BILL = MATTERS
ABOUT DOVER.
Special Correspondence Of he Commercial.
DOVER, March "a.
The General Assembly entered upon its
twelfth week of "legislating for the people,"
this afternoon. or the sessions to-day very lit
tie ia to be said, further than that of the Senate
wPs an unusually busy one in reading a great
number Of bills passed by the House, second read
ing and referring bills, and the final considera-
ton and passage of bills, mostly private acts.
There appears to have been sort Of a gener-
al Misunderstanding in reference to the bill in
relation to the improvements to be made on the
Capitol Building, when purchased by the State.
The sum of $4,000, only, were appropriated,
and that for acquiring right and title of the
county's part OF the old building. There has
been no sum specified or appropriated for re-
pairs, that matter being left entirely to the judg
ment OF the Six commissioners superintending
the work.
Just previous to adjourning, this evening,
motion prevailed to reconsider the vote by which
the bill making $4,000 was passed. The bill
WAS then recommitted to the Committee for
amendment.
The little piece of scandal caused by the cow
hiding of Ex-Alderman Vincent last week has
increased wonderfully in proportions, in Dover
since ts occurrence. The verdict OF the people
here seem to be largely against the Alderman,
and reports have been circulated that the aveng-
ing spirit Of this lady is not yet satisfied, and
would apply the rod (cowhide) Of correction to
your representative, andsan others who publish
anything about the affair. We await the issue
Tonight. there is hard and earnest work being
DONE Tomorrow, by the time the COMMERCIAL
appears on the streets, perhaps the bill incor-
porating the Maryland and Delaware Ship Canal
Co. will have had final hearing. All other
matters of interest are forgotten, and the whole
night will be spent in working for and against
this bill.

do well enough in a barbarous state Of society,
but it does not prevent crime here. He denied
to society the right to punish when it does not
prevent crime. When it licenses grog-shops
Of crime and thereby emboldens the criminal,
and when individuals calmly surrender to robbers
in their own homes, they do not deserve to have
homes at all, nor does society possess the right
TO punish, and especially it should not punish
criminals as beasts, but as men. Mr. Beecher
believed that forty years imprisonment would
prevent murder much more effectually than
hanging man and then forgetting him. He
also deprecated the prominence given to crimi.

that young persons can read the daily record OF
crime and not be injured by it.

We have never seen a stormy petrol wrap a
pagan cloak around itself, and our disgraceful
ignorance OF geography makes it impossible for
us to say whether there is a skeptical ocean in
existence or not. But, if it makes George any
happier to dress himself in such clothes, we have
no objection, provided he would put an anvil or
keg OF nals in each pocket of his pagan cloak.

By the way was right glad to see in the last

conduct. His unassuming manner, and the in
telligent, independent discharge of his functions
seem to have secured the respect and confidence
OF all good people. 1t certainly must have re-
qulred considerable nerve to resist the pressure
OF the railroad companies and others asking ape
cial legislation. But the Governor now finds his
reward in the hearty approval and support Of
the people. Those who know him best say he ia
especially Jealous OF his good name that no

A Young sen Serpent.

KILLING " TIGER PYTHON" AT KAauN's POINT.
On Monday morning, about o'clock, as Hen
ry Colbert was walking along the Delaware, near
Kaighn's Point, he saw large snake lying with
in about three feet of the water, In appearance
and size it was different from anything of the
serpent kind he had ever seen in this section of
country He succeeded in killing it by striking
its head with stone, and then broke its back il,
two places. 1t was found to measure nine feet
two inches in length. 1t was conveyed to a
house at Second and Bridge avenue, where hun
dreds OF citizens gathered to view it. On close
examination it proved to be Tiger Python. y
a species Of snake found in Africa and India
which grows to an enormous size, and kills its
prey by construction, like the boa Its teeth are
about half an inch long slender and sharp 1t is
evident that this specimen is young one
as it is not near the size to which they usually
grow. There are several different species OF
the Python found in Africa, some of them varie-
gated, with beautiful colors. This one is spot
ted like tiger, henca its name. 1t is Thought
that 1t must have escaped from some Snowman

What is a Biooded Horse?

HIS is horse having more than an ordinary
amount of drops or pounds of blood in his sys-
tenn, in proportion to the size aud weight. This
large amount of blood acts upon his system
through large heart, and correspondingly large
arteries and VEINS; and, put in notion It acts in
driving him to speed, the same as an increased
amount Of fire under the boiler drives off a
greater amount Of steam, and makes the ma
chinery go faster. This large amount of blood
also acts in refining the skin. making it and the
horse finer than in a horse of less blood, it re-
fines and gives elasticity to the muscles, the
feet, &c.,i it retines the entire horse, making
strong the valuable parts, and fitting the whole
system for speed and endurance,

WEDNESDAY, Afternoon, Maroh 26.:
A REVENUE POLICY FOR THE STATE
LIGHTER TAXES AND MORE MODERATE

A REVENUE POLICY FOR THE STATE
LIGHTER TAXES AND MORE MODERATE
DEBT REDUCTION.
1t is time to decide upon a revenue policy for
the State. The present revenues are suficien,
to pay of the whole of our debt, as it mAturest
dachargiag the last dollar, in 1890, and leaving
in the Treasury, at that time, surplus of near
ly half million. This Is shown by summary
statements elsewhere printed.
But do the people wish to be taxed so heavily
as this ? Do we need to pay of the whole debt,
within seventeen years
These are questions proper to be considered
by the people, and the Legislature. The debt
OF the State was mostly incurred by reason Of
the Rebellion, and is an exceptional thing in the
history Of the Commonwealth. When paid it
may never be re-acoumulated. There is no reas-
enable contingency, which we can now anticipate,
that would require us to again borrow a million
and quarter Of dollars. This being true, is it
not the best policy to pay of the debt more
slowly-to provide for the gradual extinction,
tightening the present burdens of taxation, and
discharging the aggregate indebtedness by easy
and unfelt payments9
But even II we are to insist on maintaining
such taxes as will meet the debt at maturity, it
is plain that those now imposed on the people
are too heavy, and that they will, il duly col
lected, and honestly guarded, produce heavy
surplus. This demonstrates, certainly, the pro-
priety OF reducing taxes, and tightening the
burdens upon the shoulders of the people.
Many Of them are far from prosperous.
They are contending with great difficult
ties, and only manage to escape from year
to year, financial disaster. Shall we first
adopt the severe and onerous policy of paying of
our debt, at the moment of maturity, and then
aid upon this policy taxes far in excess of what
i! demands Let the people speak upon this,
and give word to the Legislature now dealing
with this subject, that there must be reduction
Of burdens. Let them demand the repeal
of such unfair and ill-advised taxes as that on
mortgages, which is collected, per-force, from
the debtor, and becomes fresh load upon the
already over-burdenod borrowing class.
Moreover, there should be at once matured
and adopted systematic plan for the payment
OF the debt There should be q Sinking Fund
provided by which the surplus revenue, accum-
ulated from year to year, shall be at once set
to earning interest. The State bonds, by the
system adopted of purchasing for State ac-
count, in the market, have risen to a fraction
above par. and cannot bo had, except at pre-
MUM. II this price is to be maintained, as prob
ably it will be- the purchasing plan cannot be
continued, and Sinking Fund is the only. az it
is, at any rate, tho best, method to be adopted.
