As TO SALOON LICENSES.
A Senate Bill which Proposes an Exces-
SiVe state Tax,

A Senate Bill which Proposes an Exces-
SiVs State Tax.
The Introduction and consideration in
he Senate Of s. B. No. 60, increasing the
State tax on licenses, has stirred up no end
Of opposition in this city, the general feel
ing being that the measure is direct blew
at the interests Of our people and property.
Regarding State licenses to liquor sellers,
the bill provides that in cities of over $4,000
population-Wheeling. in other wordS-the
saloon tax shall be $780, q sum
so excessive and exorbitant as to be a
virtual prohibition of the business Of retail
ing liquors in this community. 1t is diff
cult to conceive what our sins have been,
that this punishment should be threatened
to large element of our population, but
our fault must be 8 grievous one. Our
citizens-laborers aud capitalists alike
are now struggling under all the taxation
they can bear, and to continue to add to
our burden is unwise and unjust.

Of fishing barks leave the western coast of
France bound for the banks Of Newtound.
land to fish for cod. Women and children,
the families of those on board, stand weep
ing on the quays and watch the banks
sailing westward. while priests in the
chapel say special prayers for the welfare
Of the fishermen. Experience has shown
that there Is ample reason for the tears
that are shed and the prayers that are said.
for many Of the banks never return. Last
year the Thomas A. Dana. Boston ship,
sunk one Of these vessels that was home
ward bound and sent eighty-five souls to
eternity. Now the City Of Rome has given
fresh illustration of the great dangers OF
these foggy banks and the need of ex-
tremest caution on the part OF those in
charge Of 30 many lives. There were no
passengers on the city Of Rome who would
mot have preferred spending week longer
on the voyage rather than that this catas-
trophe should have occurred from forcing
the colossal steamship swiftly through the
fog. The statements OF the officers of the
City Of Rome that their vessel had been
running for several hours At half speed
seems inconsistent with the fact that the
steamer put 408 miles behind her on that
day. though enveloped in the fog and sur.
rounded by iceburgs.
