State Comptroller Heating is after
the delinquent Collectors of State
Taxes. He has recently issued very
suggestive epistle to these gentleman,
in which he calls their attention to
the Comptroller's report for the fiscal
year ended Sept. 80, '82, which shows
the large sum of 1926, 587 SO due the
State, exclusive of interest, from her
Tax Collectors. The Comptroller
says that This large defalcation is
attracting public attention and de-
mands prompt action for its reduc-
tion." After stating the amount of
the delinquent's Indebtedness the
Comptroller concludes by saying that
"unless the claim is settled he must
resort to the summary and speedy
remedies provided by law for its COL
lection" and calls upon all interest
ed to give prompt attention to the
notice.

Struck a Happy Mean.

If we are permitted to judge from
the wide diversity of views expressed
in regard to the tariff bill, we must
conclude that it has struck a very
happy mean between the two great
extremes of opinion entertained on
this important subject. 1t has dis
satisfied the extreme free traders and
the extreme high protectionists. Mr..
Beck, the champion of free trade in
the Senate, denounced the measure
as disgraceful concession made to
the wealthy iron and steel manufac-
turers, and some of these manufac-
turers, in their turn, were incensed
beyond measure, and declared that
the bill would ruin their business.
Large importers of Australian wool
have besieged Congress for a heavy
reduction of the tariff on that article.
Prominent Democratic members of
Congress favored this reduction alleg.
ing that it would lower the price of
all kinds of wooden clothing. They
asked for heavy cut in the schedule
on wool, and they received reduc-
ton of from two to four cents per
pound. This was not enough for the
free traders, and they are consequent
~ enraged. On the other hand the
high protectionists are dissatisfied.
Manufactured wooden goods of the
finest quality, such as deliberately
trimmed cloaks and dolmans, bear a
heavier rate of duty than that placed
upon the cloth upon which they are
made, and this gives dissatisfaction
to quite large class of importers in
New York City. The great mass of
the people, however, will be bene-
fitted by these reductions because
they will buy their goods at cheaper
prices.-CJeUeJdnd Leader.

AS each successive day passes by,
Governor Cleveland, of New York,
finds his berth anything but bed of
roses. II seems almost impossible
for him to please both wings of the
Democrat party, led respectively by
John Kelly and Samuel J. Tilden,
The last rock on which there is seri-
GUS danger of another split is the APP
pointment of an insurance commits
sioner. Kelly and the insurance
men want ex-Congressman Beebe,
and Sam Tilden's candidate is ex.
Senator Thomas Carroll, of Saratoga
county. The latter's character will
bear the closest scrutiny, and this
gives him slight advantage.

In the United States Circuit Court
at New Orleans on Saturday a suit
for $50, 900 damages was fled on be-
half of the city of Baltimore, against
Jacques A. ella, surveyor general of
the State Of Louisiana, and his sure
ties, for trespassing on 10000 acres of
land in the parish ofSt. James, in the
swanYDs near Blind river, and strip
ping the same of valuable timber.
These lands belong to the city of Bal
timore, being part of the beeuest of
the late John McDonogh. The suit
was instituted by Judge H. Clay
Dallam, secretary of the McDcnogh
trustees of Baltimore.

No Extra Pay for Registers.

The Circuit Court of Anne Arundel
Go. has decided that registers of voters
can only receive pay for the actual
time employed in registering, viz
for country registers 1872 for % days
services. In referring to the duties
of the register Judge Jones says
"The law exacts of him his time and
labor to the exclusion of all business
or employment it requires of him
his personal presence, his personal
labor and his personal judgment.
Here, then, is service which is neces-
sarily embraced within the term APP
pointed for which service the register
is to receive his per diem. 1t is the
only service which is thus meant to be
paid for" The case will be taken to
the Court of Appeals.

The water was let into the Chesa.
peake and Ohio canal at Cumberland
and dam number 6 on Saturday even
ing last. 1t will require three or
four days to fill all the levels. Owing
to the excessively cold weather of the
past week the work of repairs at the
Four Locks was practically suspend
ed as the cement would not set.
Everything will be in readiness how
ever, in few days, and should the
weather prove favorable boating ope-
rations will commence the latter part
of this week. While no formal ac-
ton has been taken by the board it is
believed the rates of last year will be
maintained. The board will meet
sometime between the Goth and 25th
of this month.-HogerstoaCn Globe,

AS to the administration, there
does not appear to be any real cause
for disaffection. unavoidably there
is a feeling of GOODNESS when the
chosen President is taken off, and one
whom the party did not choose for
that Office comes in. But this is the
order of the condition, and all must
admit that President Arthur has been
cautious conservative, polite and Re.
publican f; very respectful toward his
predecessor, remarkably cautious and
slow in making removals from Office {;
and that his cabinet, in ability and
Republican standing, will compare
with any in this political generation.
And after considerable misrepresen-
tation 1t has come to be realized that
Mr.. Arthur, and not any other man,
is the President.

A singular affair occurred inl New

A singular affair occurred I'M Ne"
Haven Sunday evening. Al tne
closing service of the mission in st.
Patrick's Church one of the mission
fathers asked all the men in the
church, and there were about 1900 of
them, to repeat after him a pledge
promising not to 20 into saloon
from IL o'clock Sunday night for one
year. There were not half dozen
men in the church but who raised up
their right hand and repeated the
words after the priest.

sum of $4,000 was In the treasury.
This accumulation worried the men,
who imagined that something would
happen to the money, Agitation
famed the fears of the doubling into
blaze of suspicion, until finally,
against the earnest petitions of Mr..
Parrish, and hosts of well informed
miners, the demand for a distribution
of the fund among the contributors
became so obstinate that the trustees
turned the money over to the claim
ants. Since then no other effective
system has been adopted.
Efforts have been made from time
to time to induce the miners to aban-
don a custom that prevails among
them. Whenever a man is killed in
a mine while at work. every man in
the colliery where the accident occurs
stops work. Frequently $500 en-
ployees turn out and remain out for
two days. There appears to be a deep
superstition that prompts this pecu-
liar exhibition of respect for the dead.

One Of the many strange episodes
of the recent Western foods was the
finding of an infant near Louisville
floating in a cradle IN the river. A
man who was rowing around in search
of wreckage saw the cradle, and on
rowing Sp 10 it was surprised to find
a beautiful infant, about threemonths
old, gazing up at the sky in OPEN
mouth wonder. The little waif was
comfortably and warmly dressed, and
had not received the slightest harm.
Its parents have not yet been found.

Democratic Decay.

What happened to New York and
to Pennsylvania at the last elections
may happen to Maryland at the next
the party too long in power may be
turned on. Precisely the same sort of
political Reorganization is now pre-
pairing the Democracy of Maryland
for its overthrow that led to the down.
fall of the Republican party in some
of its strongholds last fall. Stalwarts
and anti-Stalwarts were not then
more antagonistic than the two OPP
posing factions of the Democratic
party of Maryland to-day.
There is no need for any fear that
the threatened victory of the Repub-
licans of this state will bring together
the Earring factions of the Democracy.
The feud is too bitter for that. Even
a sense of common danger cannot
bring together the two factions. If,
therefore. the Republican party takes
advantage of the situation. we will
have the only reform which promises
any enduring results-the retirement
of the Democratic party from power.
A II efforts TO harmonic the Demo-
cratic party haye failed, and the fight
between the two factions now is as to
which of them shall control the pri-
mary organization. Either faction
would prefer Republican victory to
victory of the opposing faction of
the Democracy. 1t is not mere per-
sOnal antagOnism, revenges or spites,
that make it impossible for the lead
ers to harmonize. The ambitious men
of both TANKS are fighting for self
preservation. Each side knows that
even Republican victory would be
less fatal to ambitious hopes than a
victory by the opposing clique. If
the anti-Whyte faction can control
the Democratic organization, the re.
sponsibility of defeat will be laid up
on Mayor Whyte if Mayor Whyte
should control it, the responsibility
for defeat would rest on the German
faction. Should there be--what all
Maryland Democrats hope fora
Democratic President elected in 1884.
the faction having control of the Oh
ganization will be recognized by the
President as the representative of
Maryland Democracy, and entitled to
the patronage. Armed with this
patronage, each ambitious chief would
feel assurd of a speedy return of his
party to power, with himself as its
recognized leader. 1t may thus be
said that the ambitious men of the
rival factions care far less for carry
ing the elect ons than for controlling
the nominations and the struggle
that is now going on beneath the
seemingly calm surface of Democratic
politics is struggle for life and death.

CaDture of "a Famous Fox.

A Cincinnati telegram says: For years q
large red fox that has been dubbed " Stone
wall Jackson" has evaded the hunters OF
Kenton county, KY, and to capture him
had long been the ambition OF the owners
OF several fine packs Of hounds. This has
finally been done by Shelly Hudson. OF
CovIngton. and a number OF associates Of
the Kenton Cunning Club. Mastering
pack Of thirty-two fine English fox
hounds, they repaired to the sly Reynard's
hauntS. and in short time the hounds
were observed TO be "giying tongue 4"
beautifully on hot trail. The run lasted
for six hours, terminating in the capture
Of the fox miles away from the starting
point, near the BOone-county line. Had it
not been for good Judgment on the part OF
the hunters and the fleetness OF their pack
the fox would have again escaped. As it
was. many Of the hounds gave out long
before the chase ended. The brush and
paws Of this fox are TO be preserved by the
club us mementoes OF Il notable chase.

baltimore SUM-

baltimore SUM-.
Some twelve years ago Captain Thomas
w. williams sailed from the port OF Balti-
more for Honduras, Central America. The
vessel he commanded was owned by
Messrs. Dix & Steiner. OF this city. Among
the crew was young Joseph II. Williams, q
son OF the captain. Joe was nineteen years
old then. After reaching Honduras, and
while the vessel was being laden with
fruit. Joe and his father had a quarrel
about some trihing matter. They were both
bot-headed. impetuous men, and as some
bitter words had passed between them,
Young Joe made up his mind TO run away
and seek his fortunes elsewhere. Moth
inc more was heard OF him until the Cap
tain made another trip to Central America,
when he received information that his son
was living among the Indians. A few
years afterward a newspaper, with mark
ed paragraph. was sent TO the old captain.
The paper contained an account OF the
killing OF man named Joseph II. Williams
by the Indians. This was taken "a conclu-
sive evidence that The lad was dead, and
consequently DO further search was made
for him. About two years ago the OLD
captain died. His wife had died be-
fore Joseph went away. Last week
Mr.. William II. Linthicum. an uncle
Of the lost Joseph, received letter,
In which the writer said that after
leaving his father at Honduras he had
travelled in various parts Of Central
America. and had finally returned to the
United States and settled in the cotton dis
trict of Mississippi. He had determined
not to come back to his home until he had
made fortune. This he had at last sue
ceeded in doing, and would soon in Bal

once to him, and asked him TO come on in
time to eat Christmas dinner with them
and take part in retinion OF the family.
