ocean. Electricity in fog, as the Judge
knows, is of no more account than a
penny dip. That may be the reason he
rushes on rocks. We knowwe would, if
we put on steam. We prefer to lie to
until the fog lifts, which we hardly ex-
pect to see it do soon. 1t has been down
as long as our civilization has lasted and
will be down until all men are as good
as the farmer friends of the Judge, who
show up all their Ownings to the asses,
sOr.
We do not think it possible to secure
entire equality in taxation. We cannot
even declare what perfect equality would
be. We must do the best we can. Let
us tax fairly all visible property real and
personal; and let US patiently wait for
! our share Of the invisible until its owner
dies. The property a man leaves behind
him is just object of heavy taxation.
1t has no owner but by the grace of the
law. 1t moreover loses its visible char
acter and passes through the courts in a
most convenient shape for the tax gath
erer. The heirs need not complain, for
they have not earned what they
are to get. AS the real property
of the decedent has borne its share of
taxation during his lifetime it might be
just to let it pass untaxed to the heirs :;
but the personal property need not be
spared, but should be taxed with in
creasing rigor as it swells in size. The
state would hardly take too great share
from an estate of million dollars il it
took half. OF course, the result would
be that rich men would try to distribute
their property during their lives but
death comes when least expected, and
comparatively few men have their affairs
arranged in anticipation of it. More
over, such distribution Of wealth in the
lifetime of les collector would be a benefit
to the state and she would have this
compensation, though the tax did slip
through her fingers. Then the exemp-
tion of real estate from an inheritance
tax would cause rich men to invest in it,
Which would raise its price and secure a
greater revenue to the state, and be !,
compensation to the landowner for the
unlucky convenience OF his land for tax
alton.
Judge Black finds that we have not
had occasion to rush for him very
savagely. If his fellow-yeomen DO not
rush for him any harder he may feel
very comfortable. We are comfortable,
aud at peace with Judge Black, Gov.
Pattison, the Changers and everyone
who wants equal taxation. We want it.
We know none whom our views are
specially calculated to aggrieye, unless
it be dead men, and they cannot make a
noise.

JEFFERSON DAvIs-the original jeff
proceeds to explain that he is responsible
for the feathers in tue cap Of the figure On
tbs dome of the National capitol. In the
original design of this statue, representing
g America" Mr.. Hiram Powers had sug-
gested g liberty cap" to which Mr..
Davis, then secretary of war and entrust-
ed with the supervision of the work OBJ
jected because it was among the Romans
the badge of an emancipated slave, and as
the people of the United States were born
freemen, it was held to be inappropriate to
US. Mr.. Powers yielded 10 the objection,
and designed a lead dress of feathers for
the figure. This was accepted. Tie
feathers seemed, in view of the orig inal in
habitants, appropriate to statue typical
of America. Mr.. Davis might also explain
how it comes that this statue has it's back
turned TO the South, which has been the
subject Of some complain5 from that Sec
tion.
The proposition, which in 1876 began
to assume considerable Importance to

has resulted in extent and value far

lines, which in 1879 amounted to /, 54j
miles with 49, 402 miles OF conduits in
1879, at the end of last March had been in-
creased to $500 miles in extent, with

There have boen brought to the St.
Mary'S industrial school, Baltimore, from
Cumberland, two small boys who have
been through more suffering than usua,ly
falls to ;ho lot of people SO young. For
more tiian year past they have lived
with ti2ir mother in tie mountains near
Homecoming, ia the Goa! regions. Their
home the mother built with her own
hands, and it was about as big as as a
turkey per, and jus5 about as comfortable.
1t was built OF the limbs of trees, with
matched roof, and contained nothing but
4 stove and frying pan. Tho mother.
whose name is Clark, had been driven
from her home about mile from the
place by her parents On account of her
erring life. Both her chII:f.en were lille
gitimate. ihey fared well enough
during last summer, bat since the
winter began they had suffered
terribly. There was plenty of wood
SO they kep5 from freezing, but tho hut
was so cold that t;ey were obliged to he
close to II roaring fire all ttay and night.
In this way the flesh Of he children has
become absolutely bakct,. and there arc
large Cracks aDd sores up, it. They had
the scan,iest of clothing and the mother
had the only pair OF shoes in the hut.
When they were discovered couple of
days ago she had only one garment,
ragged gown, while the boys were stark
naked. They had had no food at all for
two days. The father, who is a farmer.
was persuaded to allow his errins daueh.

mother was living in this way but no
efforts to ard her were made until SUNDAY

THERE are variety of bills before
the Legislature to prevent freight dis
ordinations and to otherwise secure for
the people the freedom from corporate
tyranny which it was the purpose of the
seventeenth article of the new constitu-
tiOn to effect. OF these that of Mr..
HulingS is furthest advanced and is be-
ing discussed before the committee, the
Pennsylvania railroad company opposing
it and Mr.. Gowen promising to disc lss
it in his characteristic brilliant mani er,
supporting the main features of the bill,
but desiring some notifications of it.
Senator Gordon has introduced an elab-
ol.,te and mplehensive measure which
may be :upposed to represent the ad
vanced views of the administration on
this vital issue. 1t is more severe and
far reaching than any legislation hereto
fore seriously proposed on this question,
and yet it is to be doubted whether it is
not i'll harmOnywith the efundamentallaw
Even should it fail of passage, because
of others which have precedence of it on

purpose in furnishing a standard to
mark the lines of discussion of this
great issue, which the Democratic party
Of the state stands pledged to press to
effective conclusions.

Cut Down the Appropriations.


good record for itself in the vigilance
with which it scrutinizes and the courage
| with which it cuts down the lavish ap
preparations proposed, and especially
those designed for private charities We
have contended ali along, that here is
where the test of Legislative virtue and
strength was to come, for which there
was no better preparation than for the
members TO denythemselvest the personal
and political advantage Of filing unnet-
cessary offices with their friends. In what
the Times calls the battle between
proligacy and economy the House
committee on appropriations showed Il
disposition to be liberal, or, ut least, 10
shirk responsibility : but the chairman,
Mr.. Hasson, leads the contest on the
floor for the reduction of such grants as
appear to be excessive. He is doing him.
self great credit and his party much
service.
Mr.. Lands, of this county, is entitled
also to credit for the industry with which
he has applied himself to an examination
of the merits of some of these applicants s
for tlr states bounty, and the zeal with
which lie exposes the imposition sought
to be practised upon the commonwealth
in making it bear the burden of support.
ing charities established without the
authority Of the state and not under its
control. Like Mr.. HaSson, Mr.. Lands
is an old member of the House, and on
their respective sides they can be infu-
ential i'll preventing d lavish waste Of
the public money.
Appropriations for private charities
should be examined with great care. AS
Shown by Governor Butler, they are
often expended to maintain an extrava,
CANT pay rOl! and in the debate which
ensued over the house of refuge appro
priation yesterday, it was disclosed that
this institution had 1000 left over
from a previous appropriation, that its
superintendent gets $4,000 salary, an as,
sistant 81 800, fireman 81 200, carpenter
$500, bandmaster $500, cOachman $500;
that the engineer has all assistant. as
well IS a fireman, and the baker also has
an assistant that the 600 children got
only 81 800 worth of beef last year, while
the 50 officials got $685. worth the chill
dren were made to swallow 500 worth
of pork. but the officers could not relish
more than So 65 worth the officers bill
for mutton was $500 larger than that of
the children. Upon this showing the
bill was cut down $1,000. A similar in
vestigation of other institutions that are
to come will likely result iD similar
raZeeing.
