Lottery Stock Exempt from
Taxation.

All stock is subject to taxation, ex-
cept lottery stock. The House revenue
bill, which provided that lottery stock
should be taxed like any other stock,
was brought up in the State Senate this
week, and an amendment offered to
strike out the clause taxing lottery
stock. A motion to table the amend
ment was lost by a vote Of IA to 10 and
the amendment was adopted by 16 to Is.
In the discussion of this amendment a
Senator called attention to article so of
the Constitution
"Any member of the Generable AS
sembly who has a personal or private
interest in any measure or bill proposed
or pending before the General Assem-
bly, shall disclose the fact to the house
of which he is a member, and shall not
vote thereon"
1t may be inferred from this that
some have an interest in Lottery stock,
and can be depended upon to vote in
favor of the Lottery. They may fail
to be reelected, but their successors
might be seduced with a presentation
OF Lottery stock.

The principals and witnesses in the
impeachment case against Judge ton-
telleu returned from Baton Rouge a
few dogs ago, and, save an expense of
about five thousand dollars to the
State, the whole thing, as far as the
impeachment is concerned, is appa
rently at an end, with the accused dis
charged. The next step now is for
the Governor to order a new election,
to take place at the expiration Of the
next sixty days. as required by law.
With the rejection of the case Judge
Gates'S commission as provisional in
cumbent expires, and reliable informa
ton obtained is to the effect that Mr..
James Mouton, of st. Martin, has or
will be appointed to the iudgeship un-
til the election. He will most likely be
the Democratic party's candidate. The
contested election cases will probably
be discontinued, since new election is
to decide the issue. Barring unfore-
seen impediments, it is now easy to
see through our troubles. and nothing
can Prove more acceptable to the trade
of our community.-lbeIi Farmer.

Quinine is lower in price now than
it has ever been; it is selling wholesale
in New York at fifty five cents an
ounce, and is so much cheaper proper
tionately than its usual adulterants
that loss rather than profit would
result from mixing these with it. Says
the New York Tribune: An ounce of
quinine costs the retail druggist little
over fifty cents. There are 4S0 grains
in an ounce. At Il cent a grain this
gives profit of over 81 an ounce, al
lowing for the cost of the rice flour and
the gum arabic which form the body
of the pills as we'll as we'll as for the
time required to roll them. Some of
the high-priced druggists charge two
cents grain, making a profit of about
80 an ounce, or something like 1900 per
cent on their investment"

The Reverend Henry Ward BeeclIer
and others North have made great
deal of money visiting large cities and
preaching the gospel for so much a ser
mon or for the door receipts; and the
irreverend Robt. j. Ingersoll has also
found profitable market for his SER
mons against Christianity. Until
lately the South has not furnished
preachers of this class; but now the
Revs. Sam Jones and Sam Small are
swinging round the country and retail
ing their pious orations to large crowds
for big pay. While they are calling on
Others to lay up treasures in heaven,
they are very intent on laying up treas
nre for themselves here below. They
recently finished profitable tour in the
Vest; few days ago they were plying
their trade in Massachusetts, and they
are advertised to be at the seacoast
camp-meeting in Mississippi in few
days. These men are evidently max
ing merch andise of religion; and the
managers of a campmeeting who en-
ploy them, cannot be prompted by any
higher motive than to draw a crowd.
The spiritual religion taught and prac-
ticed by Jesus Christ, is becoming a
mere abstraction money and plenty of
it, fine churches, fine clothes, fine car
riages, show and glitter, vain forms
and ceremonies, are the essentials of
modern Christianity.

The Legislature is afraid to pass any
Railroed legislation, for fear of run
ming the roads out of the State, but by
their oppression to the farmer and land
owner, they are daily running thousands
of good white men out of the State.
The Lien Law alone, has perhaps been
the cause OF $4,000 good white men
leaving Louisiana, and has doubtless
kept as many good Immigrants from
settling in the State, and perhaps re.
duced the assessed value of the landed
property of the State at least so per
cent, and still a Democratic Legisla-
ture permits this disgraceful act, this
emblem of poverty, to remain on tile

The popular confidence of the people
in the President is thing which the

not toignore as the times approaches for

allowance for mistakes of inexperience,
and perhaps of too great self-reliance,
il is still true that the things for which
the President most stoutly stands, IN

The chief distinction between the
tariff bill of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and the one offered by MI Sam
Randall is just the same difference
there is between the Democratic prin
ciple of Il tariff for revenue only and
the Republican principle of a protec-
tive tariff for the benefit of monopo
lies. Mr.. Morrison's bill proposed to
reduce taxation OF the necessaries of
life in the interest of the masses of the
people and the emancipation OF the
trade OF the country. Mr.. Randalis
bill proposes to reduce the revenue by
wiping out the internal tax on tobacco
SO that the present rate of war taxation
ON the articles of necessity consumed
by the people may be maintained OF
increased, and our foreign trade emas-
culated in the interest of certain
favored manufacturers and monopo
lists. The voters of this country are
to choose between these two PROPOSE
tions, and there is no escape from a
choice States.

Farmerville Gazette.

A law has been enacted by the pres
ent Legislature giving to the Governor
the appointment of the police jurors
for the several parishes of Louisiana.
The yeas and nays were called upon
the final passage of the bill. Let
Democrats who believe that ours is a
government of the people for the peo-
pie, and it is the right of the people to
choose their parochial and municipal
officers, mark and remember every
man who voted for this bill.
The law is not Democratic nor is it
Republican. 1t is not in accord with
the spirit, even, of American institu-
tons. Besides it places a power in the
hands of one man that no one should
possess.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST %. 1886.
Transporting Natural Gas.

Colonel Thomas p. Roberts. of Pitts
burg, Pa, obtained q patent for pro-
cess Of transporting natural gas long
distances. which he. is confident over
comes all the difficulties resulting from
friction and consequent loss of pressure.
He proposes. instead of forcing the gas.
10 draw it at low pressure through
large conduits by means of exhaust fans
at distances varying from ten to forty
miles. according to the character of the
ground to be travcrscd. These fans,
which would be boxed into the conduit,
would be about sixteen feet in diameter.
and would be- driven by engines Of
about twelve horse power. They would
only rcvolve at the rate of from thirty to
fifty times minutc--a slow rate as
compared with the 1000 revolutions .
minute made by blast engine fans.
The pipes would be made of sheet iron,
about five feet in diameter.
The patent provides for an alterna-
tive method. This is to lay second
pipe under the other one when ascend
ing hill. The pipe is to be perforated
with burners, the heat from which will
rarely the gas. At the top of the hill q
tank of water will be placed, from which
pipe would be laid over the gas pipe
on the descent of the hill. This pipe
also will be perforated to discharge a
spray over the gas pipe. thus causing a
condensation of the gas. This system
will cause the main to act as siphon,
and will maintain an even flow over
the hill
The main feature of this process lie
that the gas is allowed to flow at about
or little below the nominel pressure.
and that thus the friction of the gas is
reduced TO almost nothing. The velo-
city of the gas would under this system,
Colonel Roberts estimates, be not quite
ten miles an hour, and the force requir-
cd would be O small fraction of an
ounce per square inch. The only leak
age to be provided for would be the air
trying to get into the pipe, and paint,
Colonel Roberts says, would be ample
to prevent this. The estimated cost OF
this method of transportation, including
fans, pipes, right of way, etc, would be
about So, and it would supply three
million cubic feet of gas per hour. The

SlgacIty.

Instances of the sagacity of dogs
are quite innumerable. A Massachu-
setts paper adds one to the list, exhi-
bitiug this intelligent animal In new
capacity, that of newspaper car
rier. Passengers on the afternoon
"scoot" train from Springfield may
daily witness in West6eId an instance
Of canine intelligence worthy to 20
on record.
Soon after the train passes the
trap-rock quarry on the outside OF
the track by eastward bound trains.
a dog can be seen racing along with
the cars until paper is thrown of
by the baggagemaster. The dog
instantly seized it, and, after giving
a bark Of acknowledgement, trots
down the embankment to the bouse
of bis owner not far away. The sa-
gacious animal ID apparently ofNew.
foundlaDd and st. Bernard breed. and
for three or four years has acted as
news carrier in the way described.
Every day except Sunday, summer
and winter, he goes to bis post on
the track at about the time the train
is due, and there awaits the throwing
of the paper 1t Is said that be not
only knows the hour when the train
should come along, but that one day
in seven there Is no services Ap-
parently the dog has learned to knew
the whistle of bis train from any
other for if in road or yard when the
whistle il sounded half q mile down
the track, be rushes for bis station.
