THE Supreme Court of the
United States delivered an opinion
few days since that will most like
ly have great influence upon the
system Of lending and borrowing
money on mortgages of real estate.
A citizen of Connecticut loaned
$4,000 to citizen of Illinois, and
received as collateral, a mortgage
on valuable Chicago property, This
property was taxed in Illinois for
State, county and corporation, and
other purposes, and the taxes paid.
The tax>assessor of the Connecticut
district, learning that the creditor
held the mortgage, returned it as
personal property. which, by the
laws of the State, is liable to taxa
ton. The creditor fought the case
through the courts of Connecticut,
losing in all of them, and finally
carried it as a last resort to the
United States Supreme Court,
which court affirmed the judgment
of the lower ones.
This of course puts an end to all
discussion as to the legality Of the
double taxation, and can not but
revolutionize this mode of securing
borrowed money, for as the hard
ship will fall on the debtor class,
they will resort to some other means
to obtain money than by taxable
mortgages.

TIE IMBRoGLIo IN MAINE.

Of all State Constitutions in the
Union, that one of Maine is radi-
cally the worst. The present i'm
broglio in that State, if it proves
anything beyond the hitherto we'll
known fact that with Democrats
the end justifes the means, proves
this. This instrument throws a
great temptation in the front Of
whatever party may be in power to
manipulate the election returns for
partisan purposes. AS the pro-
visions may not be known to all,
we will give the gist of the Consti-
tuition applying to State officers.
Instead of providing that the high
est number Of votes cast shall elect,
it makes it necessary for the sues
cessful candidate to receive a clear
majority of all the votes In
the event Of failure of any candi>
date to receive this majority, the
election is taken from the people
and thrown into the Legislature.
Here the proceedings are also pecu-
liar. The House Of Representa-
tives has powers only as a nomin~
ating committee, and even then
with restrictions. They must select
from the candidates voted for, two
names, and these are sent to the
Senate for election. It will be
observed that they must not send
the two receiving the greatest num-
Der of votes, but any two they may
choose. A division in power in
Legislatures between parties, thus
brings about another peculiarly
The last years election exemplify
this. There were three candir
dates for Governor, a Republican,
a Greenbacker and a Democrat.
Of these the first named received
the highest number of votes, the
second the second highest, and the
third the lowest. The Senate was
Republican, but the House was un-
der the control Of the Greenbackers
and it sent up to the Senate the
names of the Greenbacker and
Democrat, and the Republican Sem
ATE, having no choice in the matter,
were compelled to elect one of them,
taking the latter as a choice OF
evils. Thus, clearly the will of the
people was defeated in the election
of Governor.
This year the case is somewhat
different. On the face of the re-
turns, Davis, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, received SO, 10
votes; Smith, Greenbacker, 48, OFT;
Garcelon, Democrat, 21,841; scat
tering, 81. Thus Davis was 21,>
O43 ahead of Smith, 47,261 ahead
of Garcelon, and lacking only
1903, not counting the scatter
ing, of majority, or with
the scattering, 2,119. The Senate
on the face of the returns has
Republican majority of 7 and the
House Of %. The Governor and
Council is the Returning Board,
but their power, according to the
constitution is not great, for it pro-
vides that certificates shall be given

A Warning to Boys.

Joseph W. Mccain, lad Il years o.
ago, residing at 426 West Front street,
came very near meeting tragic death
on the Z. W. & B. R. R. yesterday af.
ternoon. Joseph, with number Of
other lads, was playing on lumber
car opposite Harlan's yard, and when
the 1875 north bolnd express came
along the engine struck a piece OF
plank which the boys had pushed out
too far. Joseph was hurled with great
force to the ground between the cars.
and very close to the wheels of the
passing train. The train was stopped
and the boy picked up and taken to
the depot, where medical aid was sum
moned. Upon examination he was
found to have received very ugly L
shaped cash upon the head, which was
at first thought would prove fatal. He
is better this morning, however, and it
is thought that nothing serious will
result.
The watchman at the foot of West
street has frequently complained OF the
rscklessness of boys in that locality,
and it is hoped that the accident of
Yesterday will have beneficial effect
upon them.

"Queen's Evidence"

The theatrical season for Wilmington
will open to night in the Grand Opera
House with the new and popular play
of "Queen's Evidence" This is said
to be one of the best and most exciting
plays ever put upon the stage. The
audience is furnished with an insigh,
of the happy home of "Gilbert Med.
land" Mordaunt, and his wife, "Kate, F."
Miss Burnside. Through the knavery
Of "Matthew Thornton" Rowe, a fellow
clerk and "Isaacs," Jew and coun.
terfeiter, Boniface, "Medland," is
charged with the issue of base coin,
induced to regard his wife as unfaithful
and to cap the climax his child is sto.
len. "Medland' fires at his supposed
wife's lover, and she rushing forward
to avert a murder, is burned by the
flash of powder and falls to the floor
blind. After six years "Medland"
reappears as 'Philip Stanfield," is
recognized by Thornton who tries to
get "Medland' out of his way, first by
openly denouncing him as "Medland"
in disguise, then by attempting the
murder of "Medland's" wife, and last
ly by charging "Medland" with the
murder of his host. Pleasant TO relate,
however, vice is punished and virtue
triumphs. The lovers of the stage will
be more than satisfied with this excit-
ing and popular play, and large aud
ience will no doubt greet the opening
of the amusement season in Whining

circulated in all quarters of the city.
and the indications are that they will
all be filled with signatures of persons
in every station Of life. It may be
safely predicted that these documents
when ready for gathering, which will
be on next Thursday, will represent an
almost unanimous popular disapproval
Of the action of the Park Commission
ers. 1t has been intimated that this
action was intended simply as 'feeler'
on the exhibition question; if such is
the case the Commissioners have sue
ceeded in raising a storm Of public in
dignation that must make them feel
more than satisfied with its result.
The grand jury at harrisburg to-day
found true bills against Chas. B. Salter

a portion Of it ran off the track. The
condition of the switch was not observ-
ed till the train was within 100 yards
of it, and, as the latter was travelling
pretty rapidly it was impossible to stop
in time. Fortunately there was no
