The CapitatiOn Tax Case.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
rendered its decision in the case of the State OF
Maryland against the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, growing out of the claim ofthe State
for one-fifth Of the passenger receipts on the
Washington branch road. Judgment has
been recorded against the railroad company
for 1916, S17,43, being the amount in arrears
The principle is thus established that the
State has now and for all time TO come val
id claim for this one-tifth of the passenger
treights, unless by action of the Legislature
the company is released from the further pay
ment of the tax. The question will no doubt
come up before the next General Assembly,
when we hope it may be disposed of fairly
and equitably.
The Baltimore and Potomac road run
ming from Baltimore to Washington is sub
ject TO no such tax. Although under the
law the State can hold the Baltimore and
Ohio Company to n strict fulflment of its
obligations, yet it would appear no more
than just to place both railroads upon the
same footing, especially in view of the fact
that the efforts of the Baltimore and Ohio
Company are constantly being directed to-
wards increasing the prosperity of both the
city of Baltimore and the State at large.

THE WAR FEELING DYING OUT.-On the
2Gth of April, Memorial Day, the ladies of Au-
gusta, Ga, decorated with flowers the graves
of the Federal and Confederate dead alike,
and General Evans, who followed the flag of
the Southern Confederacy during the war,
made an eloquent speech, of which the fol-
lowing is an abstract. 1t goes to show that
there no longer exists in the South any EN-
FILTERED state Of feeling towards those who
fought for the Union, and that the passions
begoiteu of civil war are rapidly dying out.
General Evans said:
"Let us do nothing to keep alive the pas
sions Of war. To study its lesson is prudence,
to profit by lis teaching is wisdom, but to
stir up the old animosities is madness. The
voice of this nnnument will not be for war
but for peace. 1t will say to us the COnied-
erucy has expired lis great life went out on
the purple tide of blood that flowed from the
hearts of its sons We have buried it we
don't intend to exhume its remains. We
were utterly defeated, and we dismiss our
sentiments. Sadly we parted with the dear
old cross of stars which we followed through
many n storm of shot and shell, but we take,
with the true hand of Southern honor, the
staff that holds the flag of the stars and
stripes l respond with truest feeling to-day
to the fraternal words of Gen. Bartlett,
spoken at the centennial celebration OF the
first battle OF the old revolution"

Three daring French eronanls on the
10th of April made a balloon ascension near
Paris, rising to q height of more than 5000
yards, or nearly five miles. They all became
insensible from the extreme lghtness of the
atmosphere, and two of them, Captain Siyel
and M. Croce Spineli never came to life
again. The third, Mr.. Tssandler, recovered
his consciousness as the balloon descended
towards the earth, but was left extremely
weak and almost dead. The experiments
made proved that no watery vapors exist in
the suns atmosphere.

adequate understanding of ali legal questions

clear explanation of those universally recog.
nized principles, on which are based all existing
laws enacted to secure us in the enjoyment of

That every one should be well informed con.

of the greatest Importance in this country where

The spring here has been delightful. An oc-

was planted last week. Cattle are herding on

TIE BEEcuER-TILToN TRIAL.-In the
Beccher-Tilton case, on Monday, Mrs. Til
ton rose in open court and presented letter
to Judge Nelson, which is understood to be
an appeal that she be allowed to present to
the jury as q witness her statement of the
facts in the case. There is no legal obstacle
in the way, the Legislature of New York
having recently passed law permitting wo-
men TO testify in all cases in which their hus
bands are parties to the suit. The counsel
for Tilton, early in the case, offered to allow
her 10 go ON the stand as witness for
Beecher, under the ordinary rules of evil
dence, but Mr.. Evarts objected. A letter
has been published, purporting to be the one
presented by Mrs. Tilton to Judge Nelson,
but the gcnuineness of the document has
been questioned. 1t would appear to be an
act Of simple justice for Mr.. Bcecher's coun-
sci to allow Mrs. Tilton to testify. She has
been held up to the contempt of the world
by her husband and Mr.. Beecher has declar-
ed, under oath, that he had reason to believe
Mrs. Tilton's affections has been transferred
from her husband to himself Knowing this
fact he admitted that he afterwards was in
the habit of paying her various attentions,
such as walking and driving out with her.
1t is difficult, indeed, to recoucile his own
statements with the theory of the purity of
his intentions. The case is drawing to a
close, and it will be q matter for congratula-
ton when the columns of the daily press
cease 10 be burdened with the disgusting de.
tails of the greatest scandal trial the world
has ever known.

stream crossing the road leading from Forest
Hill to the Rocks of Deer Creek. The dis

Immediately drew the body out and notified
theneghbors. An inquest was held by Squire
Gilbert, and after an examination of the body
by Dr. ID. Preston Wysong, the jury brought
in verdict that death had occurred from
causes unknown to them. 1t is stated that
on the day previous Wilson was seon walk

able to get out, and persisted from exposure.
His body was taken to his late home near
Chrome Hill, andburied on Sunday.
