THE TURNPiKE TAX.
An Inconsistency Explained.
SOEsc Zine work by the
City 'Bquires.

"HOw do you explain the seeming
inconsistency of the action of the
County Court in the turnpike and
road tax business?" asked the repor.
ter, Of a member Of the County Legis-
lature to-day.
We'll, you see, the tax Of ten cents
to build turnpikes would have been
levied on the whole county, city and
country alike, and applied perhaps to
building one road, part this year and
part next. The tax would not have
been sufficient to build stone roads all
over the county at once"
Who opposed it2"
The country magistrates. All
those OF the city were in favor of it,
Then why should the country Mag,
istrates face about and vote for chC
same amount of tax for dirt roads, nc
help to be drawn from the city?"
For the reason that the latter tal
will be applied where paid, each Civi
District being made a road district
However, the Magistrates themselves
were all in favor Of the turnpike tax
but their constituents were not, anC
therefore they had to vote against it.
1t was learned that the city Magis
trates, after the turnpike levy wa
killed in the morning, refused to vot,
for the highway tax unless the countr,
Magistrates would reconsider thei'
action and vote for the turnpike tax il
return. This threat brought tn
country 'Squires to time, and th,
turnpike levy was ordered.

IRISH IN CONVENTION.
The National Land League Called
to Order In Philadelphia
This Morning.
After Endorsing Parnell they Pro.
ceed to Devise Plans for Or
ganizing To. Morrow.
A General RemOdeIing In Order
Objects and Principles OF
the New Organization.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The OBJ.
lect OF the convention of the Irish
National Land League of America,
which was called to order in the Hor-
ticultural Hall this morning, is to
wind up the affairs of that body and
merge into another body whose scope
shall be broader. Tho Land League.
as now organized, deals only
with questions of land law and not
with those of national or local self
government. The new organization
will grapple with all three eff these
questions and some others besides,
To-day's convention will first endorse
the policy pursued by Parnell in his
efforts in behalf of ireland, and will
then devise plans for the organization
OF to>morrow's meeting, which will be
convention of the Irish race in
America and consist of duly accredit-
ed delegates from various benevolent,
charitable and other Irish societies Of
America.
The call for this second convention
states its object to be to form a new
League after the plan of the National
Land League of Ireland, which will
blend into one organization all the
Irish societies of the United States
and Canada, the new organization to
be affiliated with the Irish National
League Of ireland.
The principles of the Irish National
League, which was formed in Dublin
Ia October last, are as follows:
girst-National self-government.
Secondhand law reform.
Ihird-Local self-government.
Fourth-Extension of parliament>
ary and municipal franchises.
Fifth-Developmept and encour.
agement Of the labor and industrial
interests Of Ireland.
These principles, it is believed, will
form the platform upon which the
new National League, to be created
to morrow, will stand.
