THE TAX QUEsTIoN.-ln speaking of
this question in relation to the next Legis
lature, the Frederick Examiner says:
What can we expect from the dominant
party of the State? 1t has had supreme
control ever since 1867, but what has it
done towards bringing about a reduction
of our taxes? And what has it done toward
bringing about a more economical and
honest administration of our public affairs
Nothing. On the contrary, they have raised
our taxes, and set examples of extrava-
gance and corruption that no party, except
the Democratic party, would have dared to
attempt. 1t is of no use, therefore, to look
for reform from this quarter. The people
must divest it of politics, There are no
political questions to be adjusted They
have all long since been settled. The tax
question is matter of business, and the
sooner it is taken from the hands of politi-
clans, the sooner will we arrive at salts
factory solution of it. Let the Democrats
have the Governor; let them have the
Attorney General and the Comptroller, too,
with the Sheriff and Mayor of Baltimore
thrown in, but for the sake of common
justice let us have Legislature the next
time that will pay some regard to the wants
of the masses of the people, and who will
not stop to ask whether or not it would be
popular to tax this or that species of pro-
perty, but one that will go to work and tax
everything that can be reached, no matter
whether it is church, parsonage or a
cemetery"

Another Victory for the American Rifle.
men,

Another contest between the picked shots
of the American and Irish rifle teams came
off at Belfast, Ireland, on Wednesday, in
which Col. Gildersleeve was the winner of
the Mayor and Citizens cup, at range of
1000 yards distance. Each man was al
lowed 5 Shots the highest possible score
being 20.
Col. Gildersleeve, Mr.. Lee of Belfast.
and Mr.. johnson of Dublin made remarka-
bly, fine shots. When all had fired their 5
shots each, the scores were announced as
follows:
Gildersleeve, American, 10; Lee, of Bel
fast, 10; Fulton, American, II; johnson, of
Dublin, IS; Bruce, American, II; McKen-
ma, of Dublin, II; Wylie, 16.
The crowd cheered the announce ment
with great enthusiasm. The tie between
America and Ireland was then shot off
According to the terms agreed upon the
men had three shots apiece.
Each shot was watched with breathless
interest. The result was again a tie, Gil
dersleeve and Lees scores being exactly
alike. Each made two bulls eyes and a
center, counting II. The excitement rose
to fever heat AS they began to shoot off
the second tie both men were cheered vocif
erously.
The final result was victory for Glider
sleeve, who made three bulls eyes in sue
cession, scoring 10; Lee made TO- The vic
torious American was wildly applauded by
the excited spectators.
In the course of the shooting for the cup,
Bodine, Dakin, and Coleman, of the Amer
lean team, made misses and were obliged
to retire, in accordance with rule which
requires the withdrawal of any man who
misses a target. A considerable number of
the Irish competitors also retired under the
rule, including Wilson, crack shot. The
enthusiasm in Belfast for the Americans
shows no signs of abatement. The affair
ended with a grand banquet in the Town
Hall at night.
A great pigeon shooting match was shot
at Hendon, in England, on the same day,
between A. II. Bogardus, of the United
States, and George Rimmell, the Champion
of England. Bogardus beat the English
