The TAX ON LOAN ASSOCIATIONS

The Germania Loan Association, Of this city,
an organization which as it's name implies has a
large membership of German citizens, is now
eight years old. In three years, since the State
placed tax on the Loan Associations, it has
paid s14OO out of the savings of its members, to
the State Treasury, in the form of tax. At the
same time, all its other expenses, in The 'chole
s,ght years, have amounted to only Sl2OO.
We are obliged to once more repeat an em-
phatic condemnation of this outrageous system
Of taxing the savings in Loan Associations. This
S14O0 taken from them ia sheer robbery. What
is worse, the State does not even need it, for the
taxes now imposed are far heavier than are
really needed to.pay the expenses of the State
government, meet the interest on the debt, and
provide for the discharge of the principal at
maturity.
The refusal of the Legislature to repeal the
tax Was gross wrong put upon those industri
GUS and saving people who are the shareholders
in the Loan Associations.

"sIelanshely Insanity"
p1srnEssrNa SUICIDE OF YouNa LADY.


Young lady named Mary Zspp, twenty-four
years Of age. residing near Deer Park. six miles
from Westminster. Md, committed suicide on
Monday week by hanging. On Monday morning
she arose. and went about her duties as usual
After breakfast she retired to her roOaa. Half
an hour later one of her brothers had occasion
TO go into the attic or garret Of the house, and
there discovered her hanging by strap, with her
feet touching the floor. She was at once taken
down; but although her body was warm, all eff
fort ct resuseitation failed. She possessed an
amiAble and affeetionate disposition. and was
highly esteemed BY all who knew her. The
cause OF the sad tragedy is explained in note
which must have been written only lew min
utee before the fatal deed. The note is with
out date or signature, and it reads as follows:
Farewell dear parents and Kind brothers,
for feel this morning that my time has come
and that can't survive this earth another day.

Wednesday Afternoon, May ?.
AMEs AVN BROOKS.

Associated in the Credit Mobilier affair, and
marked as the two upon whom Congress and the
county fixed most severe censnre, j ames Brooks
and oakes Ames are associated, also, in death
They have survived but little time, the stress
OF condemnation laid upon them. The Credit
Mobilier report, and the action of Congress upon
il. are but two months old, and already Mr.
Brooks and Mr.. Ames are in their eofflns. One
died on Wednesday; the other on the following
Tuesday.
We do not mean to moralize on the circum-
stances Of this extraordinary occurrence The
punishments of men are pitiful and Ineffective
that Higher Intelligence in whose hands men arc
but pigmy instruments, infiicts punishment, re-
auires expiation and at last "makes all things
even" by methods which We neither should wish
to. nor can interfere with. II Brooks and Ames
were great in offence-f they were offenders at
Au-it does not need that the b uman flies and
wasps of criticism shall settle down upon their
grave clothes and seek still TO pierce the shroud
of Death.
Nevertheless, there is moral in all this, and
n sad and severe one. 1t is that which ought to
sink into the American heart. IL is lesson
against our money grabbng-the itch for
wealth.. tfOul luAs has NoAlc aAAt AS~fNAe~N NA~
regard Of official, commercial, and personal in
tegrity which continually stains and soils our
American character. Hence came the Credit
Mobilier monster, with all it's attendent dishon-
ors, and without that, we should not have had
them. The official honor Of the days Of Hamil'
ton and jefferson was higher than the average
of to-day. The Generalization starts with So
ciety, itself, aud reaches upward. 1t was not
alone the special fault of oakes Ames that the
investigation brought to light, but the genera
fault Of the American people. This is our era
of growth, Improvement, development, and ac'
qlirement of riches We cannot change the era
we are simply following the order OF Nature
and submitting to the conditions of our situation
bat we may moderate the excessive greed fo
gain which has become its characteristics, and re
spect to greater degree, the qualities of pei
sonal integrity and uprightness.
The report Of Mr.. Ames death. is ascer
tanned, since the above was in type, to be pre-
mature, but he lies SO ILL., that his physician
have no hope OF his recovery.

city ChoIrs.

The indignant New England deacon Of the
olden time who couldn't be reconclled to the
minister playing second fiddle to the soprano in
church. would be little more amazed than ever
if he should rise from his grave to know the
amounts paid for music IN fashionable city
churches. The New York Erening Post says
that more money is spent in New York ON choirs
than in probably any city OF the universe. not
even excepting London or Paris. The tariff OF
salaries has been greatly enhanced Of late. A
few yeays ago one thousand dollars was consid-
cred very large stipend for an orgauist, while
five to eight hundred dollars easily satisfied the
most exsctng soprano. Now, however, there
are q dozen or more or5ansts who receive
from twenty-five hundred to three thousand
dollars a year, and the average soprano
thinks herself but poorly remunerated with a
thousand dollars. One lady of eminence in the
musical profession recently declined the offer OF
five thousand dollar salary from one OF our
principal churches. Two thousand dollars are
paid in several instances. Tenors who last year
sang for a Thousand dollars, this year de
mand and receive fifteen hundred. Bassos and
altos of course share. in the general rise OF mu-
sieal values Musical taste has advanced OF late
so that congregations are now reluctant to listen
to music which would have amply satisfied them
few years ago. They seem willing to pay for a
higher class Of performers and performances,
and they find their returns in crowded pews. Yet
it would probably shock - Christian sentiment
