Financial Blundering.


The bill to reduce the marriage license
fee from $3.50 to so cents was virtually
killed in the House few days ago, anc
the Baltimore Sun becomes indignant
That journal remarks that it is full time
that a State like Maryland should discon
tinue these unequal forms of taxation, sucI
as maintaining the collateral inheritance
impost, the high license for marriages, and
other burdensome and indefensible exac
tions, and seek more legitimate sources Of
revenue, which the modern development Of
our material resources amply afford.
The state received last year S27 ,575.24
from marriage license fees and from collat
eral inheritances 103,311.23. By abol
ishing these taxes there would be loss tc
the state treasury of nearly S131 900. The
Sun does not enumerate what the "othel
burdensome and indefensible exactions are
and we cannot compute the additional losses
to the state the Sun would make. MOI
does that great luminary indicate what
"more legitimate sources of revenue" the
state should seek, and it is just possible
that the article from which we quote was
dashed off without much though int while the
author was indignant at the defeat Of the
marriage license bill
There can be no valid objection to a
marriage license fee. The man who is toe
poor to pay $3.50 for a license, is too poor
to maintain wife; and man who is toe
close and stingy to pay that amount is not
worthy of the most Indifferent sort of a
wife.
AS to the collateral inheritance tax, il
may be remarked in its defence that Ma
ryland is not the only state that imposes it
and that the Legislature Of New York has
a bill before it now to tax collateral inner.
itances, and the measure has the support OF
many prominent men and newspapers
among the latter being the New York
World, the leading paper of this country.
1t is possible that if the Sun were asked
to enumerate other sources of revenue ii
would not be able to point out many, and
the revenue derived would perhaps fall fan
below the s131 600 the Sun would do away
with, and an additional tax upon real estate
would have to be imposed to make up the
deficit.
Let the Legislature continue the mar,
rage fee and collateral inheritance tax; and
if they can find other sources of revenue
let them take advantage Of them, and re-
lieve farming lands.

The German and American press are still
discussing the Herr Lasker resolutions, and
the ADVOCATE would make a suggestion
on the subject; If war is insisted upon on
such an unimportant matter, let the Amer
lean forces be confined to the members of
Congress and the German forces be COM
posed of members of the Reichstag; or, let
Col. Tom Ochiltree, the author of the res
olutions, and Prince Bismarck, the most
aggrieyed of the Germans, contest four FIVE
minutes rounds under the Marquis Of
Queensberry rules. These are the only
persons particularly interested, and if they
feel sanguinary toward each other let them
settle it in one of the modes above suggest
ed. The common run of Americans and
Germans care very little about Ochilnee,
Bismarck or Lasker.

The Democratic National Committee met
on Friday last in Washington and decided
to hold the national convention at Chicago
on Tuesday, July Sth. Some members
wanted to hold the convention as early us
May, before the meeting of the Republican
convention, and otE.rs desired the date to
be fixed as late as August, so Il compromise
was made and July 9Th decided upon. The
Republican nominating convention will as
semble at Chicago on June ), and the
Democrats will have five weeks to study
the weak points in the Republican ticket
and platform. 1t is said the prevailing
sentiment among the committee Was in IA
vor of the old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks.

The Maryland Legislature adjourned
from Thursday of last week until Tuesday
of this. Much work has been done, most
ly on local bills, though some bills of gen.
eral Importance have been considered since
our last report. In the Senate the bill to
tax mortgages was up on Thursday last,
and an effort to strike out the enacting
clause failed by vote of II to 12-six
Democrats and six Republicans voting aye,
and seven Democrats and five Republicans
voting no. Senator Shriver voted no. In
the Senate on the same day bill to elect
county school commissioners was reported
unfavorably, and bill to elect school trus-
tees was defeated in the House by strict
party vote, Ga Democrats voting against
and 81 Republicans for the bill.

The Democratic members of Congress
have organized campaign committee,
composed of one member from each state
and territory having Democratic represen-
tation in that body. Senator A. P. Cor
man is the member for Maryland. He
was spokenof for chairman of the commit
tee, but declined on account of his cam
paisn work at home His reputation as
an organizer and effective worker is not
confined to Maryland, but is known to
prominent Democrats in every state. Mr..

man as one Of the most valuable organizers

The state central committee of the Re-
publican party has been called to meet in
Baltimore on Wednesday March 18th, to ar
range dates for primaries and congressional
district conventions and state convention
to select delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton. Already, it is said, the two wings of
the party are skirmishing for advantage,
and it is probable the struggle this year
will be as bitter and attended with as much
fraud and deception as was that at the
Frederick convention in 1880.

washington Letter.l


] heard fact or two about Judah p.
Benjamin's early life, the other day,
which were new to me. His father was
a small, dark. skinned Spanish jew, who
kept little fruit shop on Market street,
Charleston, 8. c. Benjamin's early
life was spent in that shop. He was
educated by the Hebrew Orphan 20.
ciety Of Charleston, graduating under
their care at Charleston college. He
was grass orphan by that time. His
mother, disagreeing with his father,
had left her home and gone to Beau
fort, where she opened general coun-
try store. Forty years ago she was con-
Quoting il successfully.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin were
devoted sdherents to the grand old
religion Of their fathers, and Judah p.
Benjamin was educated in it. He has
always retained his respect for his race,
although he married Gentle, and has
never been identified with the Jewish
church. You remember his fine reply
in the senate, when he was iauntcd in
a hot debate with being jew. "lhe
senator" he said, rising gracefully and
speaking in his usual silvery way, will
please remember that when his half
civilized ancestors we're hunting the
wild boar in the forests Of Silesia, mine
were the princes of the earth" The
senate was electrified. and the carping
senator was silenced.
