AN attempt was recently made in the
Maryland Legislature to procure the sus-
pension of the Sunday liquor law in Balti-
more during the Centennial Exhibition.
1t was really an entering wedge to its final
repeal, as hoped for by certain Democratic
politicians in that city. The argument was
certainly original, viz, that during the Cen
tennial Exhibition, at city one hundred
miles away, Baltimore should invite guests
by the inducement of Sunday liquor. This
was one of the proposed iniquities, that to
the credit of the State, failed at Annapolis.
In this connection we are glad to see that
the Philadelphia Exhibition Is not to be
opened on Sunday.

IT it not true that the Legislature changed

modelled after Briarcus, with hundred

MIR. MoRRIsoN's famous Tax Reform bill
has, at last, been passed upon by his COM
mittee, and he has secured a bare majority
for it, which enables him to present it to
the House. He endeavored to retain in the
bill tax of two cents on coffee, and ten
cents on tea, but failed As these taxes on
tea and coffee were the most important
features of the bill, and were expected to
yield such income to the Government as
would form the basis of numerous reduc-
tons, the fact is apparent that it will be
finally defeated. No good can come of it
under any circumstances, but rather injury
to the business interests of the country by
the agitation of proposed changes in the
tariff, but which will really not be accom-
pliShed.
