ing an honorary membership in the
Jefferson Democratic Association OF
York. Pa, Of which Lt.-Gov. Chaun-
eey F. Black. Is president. Gov. But
Ter says his earliest political teachings
were from an uncle who was a Jeffer-
sonian democrat: that by him he was
taught to revere the memory Of the
great patriot and in his maturer
years learned to appreciate the great
philosopher and statesman, and i'm
bibed the lesson Of equality Of right
and equality of burden for all before
the law" which has been the Cover
noris guide in political action ever
since. and to which he promises he
will ever remain true. Gov. Butler
concludes that o return tn Jeffersoni-
an principles is necessary to rescue the
country from an Impending despotic
rule Of monopolies.

Mr.. GLADSTONE AND RELIGIOUS
ToLERATIoN IN MARYLAED.-In Mr..
Gladstone's preface" to Rome and
the Newest Fashions in Religion" he
states that the Maryland act of toler-
alton seems to have been the echo of
an order Of the House of Commons OF
1915 and Of q British ordinance OF
1647. Gen. johnson in his "Founda-
ton Of Maryland attacks this state
ment of Mr.. Gladstone's, and proves
by the original authorities that no
such ordinance was passed, and that
the Long Parliament never in any
manner favored religious federation.
He forwarded copy of the book to
Mr.. Gladstone, and has received the
following note from him:
10 Downing Street, Whitehall, June
80, 1883.-Sir-I offer my best thanks
for your kindness in sending me your
interesting work on "The Foundation
Of Maryland, which reached me this
day and which l have at once begun
to examine. Allow me to assure Won
with reference to passages of mine
which you have quoted that I have
had no intention beyond that of draw
ing notice to some partial but very
significant information which had re-
Gently come to light. l do not hold
the opinion that the Professionals or
the Puritans of that day were con-
WINGED friends of freedom of consci-
ence or practiced it in England.
have the honor to remain, with renew
ed thanks, your most obedient and
faithful.

The Baltimore County Court deci-
ded, in a case brought before it last
week, that every requirement of law
must be complied with in order to
make valid sale Of property for nom
payment of taxes. In the case before
the Court the sale was set aside, for
the reason that some Of the forms of
law had not been complied with.
This decision is of no little impor-
lance, but will probably not be retro
active, as the Courts are very 10th to
disturb title which they have once
confirmed.

The English system of postal saw
ings banks has attained satisfactory
footing in India in the short space Of
a year. The banks were established
over a portion of India April l, 1882.
and the system will be extended over
the whole Indian Empire. During
the first nine months of the existence
of the banks 81, 698 accounts were
opened, of which 1928 were by Eu-
ropeans and Eurasians and 28,770 by
natives. There is no reason why pos
tai savings should not be equally sue
cessful here.
