COUNTY TAx coLLecroRs.

The Levy Conrt Of New Castle county
has done well in selecting George W. Nc
Kee and John J. Dougherty to collect the
taxes of this county, and we believe that
the appointments will receive general
appreciation. Messrs Mckee and
Dougherty are well fitted for the work
They have the stability, the integrity
and the ability required for the proper
administration of the affairs Of the tax
Office, and there is no question whatever,
of their fealty to the Democratic party.
Everybody has had his can
didates for the tax office but all could
not get the appointment, and we believe
the Democratic party is unanimous in
its feeling that good men for the places
have been appointed We congratulate
the Levy Court and Messrs. Mckee and
Dougherty, and we trust that the de.
feated candidates, all OF whom were well
worthy of the Levy Courts considera-
ton, will have better luck next time

Disputed Success.

New York Press,
The death Of Archduke Rudolph OF
Austria Hungary is likely to have more
serisus effect upon the politics. Of Europe
than was apparent Certain it is that
the courts both OF Berlin and of Rome
look with alarm upon the possible acces-
sion of the Arohduke Charles Louis, next
brother Of the Emperor, to the Austrian
throne. Charles Louis is very ardent
Catholic, a warm adherent Of the Pope
and Papacy, reactionary in politics
rather cold toward the German alliance,
and. moreover, is heir presumptive t.
the deposed Duke of Modena, one of the
Italian princes who were ousted to make
way for a united Italy under the House
of Savoy.
But, although Charles Louis has been
somewhat prematurely hailed AS next in
the line Of the Austrian succession, it S
by no means certain that. after all, the
little Archduchess Elizabeth, only child
of the late imperial suicide, may not be
declared heir apparent to the throne
This princess is not yet 6 years old. Her
mother. the Archduchess Stephanie, is a
daughter Of the King of Belgium She
therefore has powerful influences in her
favor in Europe.
The whole question as to this Austrian
succession rests upon whether the Salic
law is still operative in that empire or
not If il is, then Charles Louis is the
undoubted heir II it is not, then the
Archduchess Elizabeth is as clearly de
signated as her grandfather's successor.

The Chicago Times gives the following
extract from the sermon of a Chicago
clergyman. "As rule, the press is the
friend and ally of the pulpit True,
they are not engaged in precisely the
same work. Their lines diverge. The
function Of the one is secular; that Of the
other Is spiritual. The press is the agent
of civilization, while the servitor of
Christianity. The first aims at the mind
the second seeks the soul But they have
much in common. They often inter
sphere. Both minister TO humanity.
When the clergyman is forming the
editor is informing the public. And they
are alike concerned for good government,
common honesty, peace, prosperity and
all good words and works. To change
the poet little.
These are two Mentors, one born so, the I)ther
bred.
This by the heart. the other by the head.
The pulpit is not as ready to recognize
this alliance as it ought TO be- IL is often
Jealous Of the press, carps at it. easily
INDUCES in dispraise and blame A great
mistake Let the Church welcome this
ally. Every minister should make him
self an active supporter of the best news

to draw them into friendliest CO operation

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

New Chapter OF the samoan Matter.
Baltimore sun.
The protocols and other documents in
relation to the Samoan affair, made pub
lie and sent TO Congress by President
Cleveland yesterday with the assent Of
Germany and England, deal with two
subiects--the conference of representa-.
tives Of Germany Great Britain and the
United States at Washington in July,
1884, which was temporarily sus.
pended at MIR. Bayard's re
quest for a specific purpose,
and the correspondence recently had in
reference 10 a renewal of that conference.
The protocols of 1887 embrace the van-
Gus plans for the governor Of Samoa pro
posed at the conference There were
virtually but two of these-the German,
which meant the establishment Of Ger
man ascendency ina the Samoan govern
ment on the ground that Germany had
the largest property interests, and the
American, which contemplated the con
tinuance of the Samoan government with
It's independence unimpaired and equal
rights for the three treaty powers.
When IL was found that the two plans
were wholly Incompatible, Mr.. Bayard
proposed temporary suspension of the
conference, so that the powers interested
might, after fuller consideration, give
their representatives fresh instructions
likely 60 lead 20 an agreement. The new
conference is agreed TO by Mr.. Bayard
in the hope that time and events
have convinced Prince Bismarck Of the
justice of the American contention. He
suggests, however, that pending the
meeting Of the conference at Berlin
orders be given to suspend hostilitiei
against the Samoans.

THE bill for the protection Of home
beef has been killed in the Pennsylvania
Legislature. The bad principle on which
IL was founded was not so potent as the
money Of the Chicago beef packers. The
principle Of protection has not been
traversed at all in the Pennsylvania Leg
islature but simply ignored in this in
stance. The discussion was not made in
the interest of the people, who are en-
titled to cheap beef but in the interest Of
the Chicago packers who spent more
money than the local butchers. This is
one Of the results Of a vicious theory of
taxation.
