and that is that every man must pay his

his taxes, imposes an additional
burden upon his neigabor. Taxes must be
collected. The law now allows considerable

AFTERNOON SESSION.
TAX SALES.

Mr.. TRUTHS (of Jennings) Delinquent
Tax Sales Redemption bill Is. 143l, on it's
second reading, came up as q special order,
with majority report from q committee
recommending that it lie On the table and
minority report that the bill do pass.
Mr.. SMITH continued his speech cut OFF
by last nights adjournment. What good
reason is there why a man who invests his
money in the purchase of delinquent tax
titles should have any more interest upon
that investment than the man who loans his
money? 1t is against the policy Of laws that
there should be class legislation upon any
subject. But the greatest evil under our
present tax law is that il cuts OFF the
right of redemption. This bill seeks to
raise the black flag the law has
placed over the poor mans home-the pro
lection OF the Nation in time of war and the
glory OF the State in time of peace, But it
may be said that il is doubtful whether the
Legislature can make q law which is retro
active in its character. In answer % that
desire to say that these tax laws in most
every feature are remedial. The SHprsm-
Court has held that where an act il remedial
the legislature following the one which
made the law may change or alter that rem
edy, or destroy ii, indeed, il it desires.

ture to make an act retroactive in its char

their lands may redeem them by the pay.
ment OF III per cent. penalty And IL may
be said il will not do to change the rate of
interest, because the people will refuse to
bid at these sales. During the time the
law of 1881 was in force. which reduced
the per cent. from % TO 3, there were as
many tax sales as since the act of 1888
which increased the per cent. from s and 10
tn 20. But rather than haye the bill de-
ieated because the per cent. is too low,
would consent to increasing it IN order that
We may grant the people the right to redeem
their bones from such sales. insist that
the minority report on this bill ought to be
adopted, and insist that it was misguided
official conduct that the Judiciary Commit
tee decided against reporting In favor of this
bill in the first place, and upon question
so important felt it my duty not to abide
their judgment, but to bring this bill by
minority report to the consideration of every
Senator upon this floor. insist upon q fair,
full, deliberate and honest consideration OF
the report.
Mr.. FOULKE: 1t was from no spirit of
antsgonism 10 the poor man whose land is
sold for taxes that the Judiciary Committee
reported against this bill, nor from q spirit
OF friendliness to the man who might
purchase for q nominal consideration land
worth infinitely more than the price bid.
This bill provides that an additional year
shall be allowed to persons whose lands have
been foreclosed under tax deeds, and the
author desires to make that provision retro
active. Under the Constitution of this
State IL we pass such O law, il will not do

Mr.. Charles Allen has sold the steam
ferry boat "Trarsit'' to J. H. Stinson to
whom he has assigned his charter to run a
steam ferry across Sullivan river with all
rights and privileges thereto belonging.
The steamer is being repaired and will soon
be ready for business on the ferry under
charge OF Mr.. NJ. Urann of this town. The
construction of the railroad to Mt Desert
Ferry has taken large amount of travel
from this old ferry. but is cheaper for t,co
persons having business in Ellsworth to cross
the ferry in their carriage than to 60 by rail.
The ride in summer is a very pleasant one
and We have no doubt that the travelling
community will SO far appreciate sure and
quick passage across the river as TO give
their patronage to the ferry, if they are not
detained by the slow tedious passage which
necessarily attends row ferry.

Twenty years have passed since our last
Grand Review. The death roll of years has
added tens of thousands to the half million
graves We left behind The daily toing
bell, the freshly knotted Grape, the mutfled
drum, the slow and solemn procession, tell
now fast our comrades JOIN the silent rank 5

One by one a gallant leader languishes
upon his couch Of pain, and over myriads OF
homes the death angel hoyers darklv. HaI-
lowed be the day that brings such solemn
thoughts as these.
Our comrades sleep well. No tear can
disturb their profound slumber; no per
fume of flowers make their rest more sweet
But wherever Memorial Day is observed
there rises higher ideal of American valor
a holier care for the men who sayeo the
Union.
Let Posts of the Grand Army every
where assemble. Enlist all loyal hearts in
an observance of the day. Let the women
and children be invited. Let all who rev
erence the flag unite in the minstraton Of

ting the clergy TO hold memorial services on

Where there are no graves to gather

services may still be held. Where there
