right manipulators and trade politi-
clans are allowed to rob the farmer
Of his small margin OF profit, then
has he indeed become but newer
of wood and a drawer of water for
other men.
In view of these considerations and
of the fact that under existing laws q
| lIrge and constantly increasing pro-
portion of the wealth of the country is
exempt from taxation. your committee
believe that the time for more advanc-
cd measures and more aggressive ef-
forts has arrived, and il accordance
Herewith the following resolutions are
respectively presented
Resolved, That the National Grange
of the Patrons of Husbandry most re-
spectively yet earnestly request of Con
gress-
1st. That the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture be made the Secre ary of Ag-
riculture and a member of the Presi-
dents cabinet, with the same salary as
Secretaries of other departments, and
that this department be sustained and
encouraged by appropriations com
mensurate with its importance.
ed. The enactment ofa general rail
road law, prohibiting all discrimination
in favor of or against any class, locali-
ty, or interest in the transportation of
passengers or freight also prohibit
ing excessive or exorbitant rates.
3D.. Such revision of the patent laws
as shall eff,ectually protect the innocent
purchaser or user of patented artl-
Gle or implement, and make the manu-
factul er or vender alone responsible for
violations of the law.
4th. The immediate enactment OF a
graduated income tax, to the end that
all wealth may bear its just aud equal
proportion of the expenses OF the gov
eminent, and that productive industry
be so far relieved from the burdens Of
taxation as shall be consistent with
strict Justice to all.
Resoired, That we viii hold each
Senator aud Representative of Congress
responsible for his action upon the sub
ject-matter herein set forth, and We
pledge ourselves most cordially, and ear
nest invite every Patron and every far
mer in all our country to unite with us,
to use our whole influence, both by word
aud ballot, wholly regardless Of party
ties, political associations, or peIso a
connections, to carry oul the spirit OF
The foregoing resolutions.

TIE ELnrcoRAL COLLEGE mode @

TIE ELHTcoRAL COLLEGE mode of
choosing President and Vice. Presi-
dent Of the United States, doubtless
need amendments and additions care
fully defining the precise qualifications
and duties of Electors and providing
apenalty for a violation of the laws.
The mode of counting the votes in the
House Of Representatives, and the
power Of the House over the votes
needs to be more fully and accurately
prescribed. The votes of the Elec-
toral Colleges are sent from the
States to the President of the Sem
ate. But just how much power the
President of the Senate has to do
with these votes has become matter
Of dispute and uncertainty. This
needs to be prescribed in precise terms.
II the President of the Senate is not
compelled by law to produce the votes,
then the law requiring them to be
counted by the House of Representa-,
tivcs mAy at any time be set aside.
In fact the law as it is now may be-
come disturbing element since it is
held by some that the votes are to be
counted in the House in the presence
OF the Senate, and the President of
the Senate shall then declare the vote.
Others maintain that it is the duty of
the House to count the votes and de-
clare the result. The law has been
largely discussed and many urge
that the Electoral system shall be set
aside and the President and Vice
President be elected by a majority
Of the votes of the people. This plan
at first looks very simple and inviting.
But II Congress were to resort to the
mode Of voting directly for President
without voting for Electors, it is doub-
hal whether the people would be any
more secure from the work of fraud
and corruption. Ingenious modes
would be adopted for delaying the
counting of the votes, and disputing
the returns.
With some amendments and the
powers and duties of the Electors and
the two houses of Congress over the
votes, accurately defined, the present
system might be found to be the
aAtsst that could be adopted.

INTERNAL REVENUE REPORT.
LARGE INCREASE IN THE RECEIPTS
A REPEAL OF SOME TAXES RECON-
MENDED.

LARGE INCREASE IN THE REcEIPTs-
REPEAL OF SOME TAXES RECON-
MENDED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual
report of Gen. Green b. Raum, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, shows
that the receipts for the fiscal year
1880, in the face of the reduction of
the tax on tobacco, were 1923, ,9S1 ,9IG,
an increase of $l0,532, 295 over the
previous year. The receipts for the
first four months of the present fiscal
year amount to $43, 769,3lS showing
an increase over the corresponding
period of last year of So, 65S,2lS. The
Commissioner says that he knows of
no reason why this increase should not
be maintained, making the total col~
lections for the year S135, 200 900 -
This large increase of revenue, he SAYS
is unquestionably due to the prosper
GUS times. While the receipts from
taxes are thus increasing in amount.
the demands upon the Treasury are
being lessened by the reduction of the
public debt and the annual interest
charged.
It's probable, therefore, that Com
gress will be disposed to relieve the peo-
pie from some of the iEterual revenue
taxes, ant II such reduction is to be-
made be suggests the following list OF
axes collected during the fiscal year
1897, the repeal act not to 20 into effect

ulation. He thinks it would be wise to

Gated 0itters containing more than
twenty per cent, of proof spirits
The tax on savings banks, he thinks,

WILL JUDaK Houston CONTEST
Judge Houston seems to have been
in the hands of the Republican Com
mittoe, and governed much by their
diotation in arriving at his determina-
tion to contest the seat of Hon. E. l..
Martin in the next Congress. We
infer this from the language of the
NsUa 1t says:
"lhe gentlemen who have taken
charge of Judge Houston's contest OF
the election of Mr.. Martin have man.
aged the case admirably thus far, and
have guarded the secret that such
contest was to be made with such sue
cess that when it became known on
saturday night that such a movement
WAS in progress, it caused to the com
munity considerable surprise. Their
reticencs has been SO discreet thai
even now it is impossible to say upon
what grounds tho claim of Judge
Houston will be based, except the
general statement that the claim will
sot forth the unjust assessment laws
the failure to carry out those laws,
such as they are, and frauds prac-
tioed by the Democrats at the election
1t would not be surprising if Judge
Houston could prove that he did moi
receive more than $50 votes to which
he was legally entitled, although to
prove that such is the case will be
difficult"
This matter was kept a profound
secret until Saturday. 1t was then
made known to Mr.. Martin by Rich.
ard Harrington, and Henry w. Can
non, Esqrs., and other members of tht
Republican State Central Committee
Mr.. Martin had arrived at Clayton il
company with Senator Salisbury, oil
his way to Washington to take hi
seat in Congress to-day. At Claytol
the cars were boarded by the Republi
can Committee and the notice formal,
served on Mr.. Martin.
The whole affair had, as the Mem,
Ays, been kept profound secret anc
was, therefore, great surprise to al
parties. Even new it is regarded a
an unsettled matter, intended to serv
the political interests of the Republi
can clique, and give them an advan

In New Castle county Judge Housto

showing Mr.. Martins majority in til

Nor ELIGIBLE.--It appears to be a
fact that DR.. Ellison, of Pencader Hun
dred, one OF the Republican candidates
for Levy Court Commissioner was not
freeholder at the time of the election,
and as the law Is very clear on this
point and requires that none but free
holders can be elected as Levy Court
Commissioners, therefore, DR.. ElIisou's
is likely to be made bar to
his taking a seat In the Court.
