NOTHING 10 cOMpl AIN OF.

The objection to the resolutions OF the
Young Mems Democratic Club, that they
do not offer to change the system of poll
taxation is specious aud dislngenuous.
The resolutions were not intended to
do more than provide for change in
the system Of county government. The
system Of taxation IS another thing.
The Republicans have made two strug
giles, backed by cloud Of hired wit.
nesses, any amount of money, the best
legal ability they could command, and
engineered with an the skill Of those
who make a trade Of politics, to impeach
both the tax laws and the officers who
enforce them. With every possible
requisite, except facts aud justice, they
failed lamentably in both cases. Their de
feat ia the attempt to impeach the officers
was a disaster their failure to expunge
che law was a rout They were whipped
on their own battle-ground and driven
out Of their own rifie-pits They aban.
doned the field and left their wounded,
dying and dead to be nursed and buried
BY the Democrats
Since the Republicans have been de-
feated in their appeal to the courts in
which they had every advantage,
every opportunity, which plaintiff
could have, 1t would seem that they
should be satisfied. But, in addition tc
that, they have the most complete, sue
cessful and notorious methods of evad
ing the tax laws ever invented. They
have the Young Mems Republican Clut
and its Askew Building Annex which
are maintained apparently, for the sole
purpose Of raising money to bride
the ignorant and venal voters Of the
community We can easily prove that
the poll-tax laws do not give them the
slightest trouble. On the contrary the
law enables them to pay mans taxes,
hold his receipt, and either compel o.
caj Die him to vote as they dictate Hence
considering that the Republicans hav,
been thrown out Of court in two trial.
and that they have such efficient machln

quenees o. the neglect, ignorance ant
yenality Of their hordes Of voters, thel

Ia short, as they exist, the poll-ta,
laws are used to their advantage.

ONE of the interesting and immediate
corollaries Of the Mckinley Tariff bill is
the advance in the Sugar Trust certif-
cstes. Some Of the members Of the
Trust met the Ways and Means Com.
mittee in McKinleys private room and
convinced him that the tariff on sugar
should be changed from per cent. ad
yalorem to a specific duty Of 4-10 of a
cent. How was the committee con-

He has fourteen lines of interview which
Cleveland acknowledges. He has no
other evidence that he did not say what
he was not authorized to say. Lastly,
when Crawford did determine TO defend
himself against his own paper he used a
paper run by Russell Harrison, the son OF

Cleveland to make any defence against

THE objections Of the Morning News
to the Young Mems Democratic Club
resolutions have taken a wider range.
They now include Messrs. Dlekey, Lee
and Turner. These are general. very
safe and glittering objections. They do
not require any expenditure Of mental
effort, no offers Of better reforms and NJ
promises from.the News or.from its party,
ITO substitute anything in place Of the
present system to which they object, or
TO the proposed system which they ridi-
cule. If the News does not approve Of
the proposed changes in the system Of
county government it might propose
something better.

high License v. local option

CHEsTERTowN, Md, May THE last
Legislature passed an act resubmitting
to the voters of Kent county the local
option question and the campaign is now
in vigorous progress and waxing warm.
The late decision of the Supreme Court,
has proven a bomb among temperance
advocates, and many of the best temper
ance men Of the county will vote for
hign license as the lesser OF
two evils. The general opinion
mong members Of the bar is that liquor
under the ruling can be imported here
and sold in bottles of any size, and the
judges of the Circuit Court have privately
expressed their opinion that it destroys
the Prohibition law. The result of the
election on Saturday will most probably
result in favor Of local option, as whiskey
men express their intention to support it
and many pTohibitionists will cast their
votes for it.

LITERARY ACTORS AND ACT
RESSES.
NOTES ABOUT SOME LIGHTS OF THE
STAGE WHO POSSESS FACII-E
PENS.


The possession Of one talent
does not always imply that
n person cannot have another,
and this is proved by the
fact that not a few actors and act
iesses have shown considerable
ability as writers. The papers Jos
eph jefferson has been writing fol-
The Century magazine show that he
has marked talent. MIR. William :.
Florence also has much taste for
literature, and has written q num-
Der Of very interesting articles and
sketches for various publications.
Several other actors also write for
both the dramatic and news
Papers, while the number Of
ACTRESSES who write Is still greater.
Beginning with Ella and Linda
Deitz, the list is a very long one.
They are well known both In Eng
land and America by their verses,
which are marked by delicacy and
graceful diction.
Mrs. Kendall writes for some Eng
lish periodicals, and ii is said one
or two American publications.
Bernbardt produced two or three
very readable sketches while here,
but since then nothing.
Lillian Russell has written sew
elal very tender and pathetic little
stories for the different dramatic
papers, and she has n large book full
Of verses and other articles which
she has written from time to time.
1t is said that George Cayvan has
a big hook full of things which she
has "dotted DOWN. as the fit seized
her. and which some day she may
publish.
Annie Pixley does not write her
self, as she thinks she can DO better
with her spare time, and so she de-
signs and makes every one Of heI
ow n dresses; hut she is nevertheless
making n book which will be very
interesting when it Is done. In il
are pasted all the most silly and
idiotic 1--we letters sent to her by the
callOw youths and bald-headed fac.
lions all over the country. She
hands all these letters over to her
husband, and he sorts out the silliesi
and they preserve them.
Kate Claxton comes Of family Of
writers, and once in n while she,
like Silss Wegg, "declines and fall:
into poetry"
Fanny Davenport can write 8
gooi article and does it, too, when
ever she feels greatly stirred upon
any subject. Janauschek has shown
VIII t she can do, and 1t is n great
deal. She writes with force anu
directness-
Rose Eytinge writes a great many
miscellaneous articles, stories, trav'
els, etc, and her clear, vigorous
English Is always worth reading.
"Aunt Louisa Eldridge is writ
ing her memoirs as fast rs her health
will D. rmit. Those stray bits SIN,
has already given out are like her
self, full Of sprightly wit, keen judg
meDt, and are thoroughly readable
and pleasing. She is doubtless tn,
most popular woman on the stage
and she has won that popularity by
kindness, tender helpfulness to un
fortunates and a jolly good fellow
ship which shows through every
line Of her writing.-Er.

EDUCATED IN AMERICA.
YOUNG WOMEN FROM THE LAND or
TIE MIRADO TRAINED IN
THE UNITED STATES.

The Countess Oyana, wife Of the
japanese minister Of war, is one Of
the few ladies OF the court circle at
Toxic who "receive'' at their own
homes in the native costume which
European fashions are so fast driv-
ing out Of the land Of the MikadO.
The countess prefers the comfortable
and picturesque japanese dress to
the foreign costumes which the
court has adopted, aud this IN spite
Of the fact that she is one Of the first
JaTanese women educated in Am
erica, having graduated at Nassar in
lSS2, the only woman Of her race
who has received the baccalaureate
degree.
StematZ Yamakawa, as she was
known before her marriage, spent
about ten years In this country, cUm-
ing with the japanese embassy Of
1872 and returning so thoroughly
Americanized that she had almost
forgotten her own language. She is
remembered by her college mates as
an extremely attractive girl, pretty
even TO American eyes, tai, graceful
and well formed. To return 10 her
native country was something Of an
ordeal. She came here girl Of l.,
adopted the Christian religion and
the customs and hahits Of thought II

knowledge that her parents would
Immediately find a husband for her,
very possibly one not at all in SYM
pathy with her ideas.
Fortunately the chosen spouse
was Count Iwao Oyana, who was
himself educated in France, and rs
whose wife she has taken inlmedi-
ate rank in social and philanthrOpic
circles in Toxic. A number Of Jap
anese women have since come To
this country rs students, and several
are here now. Miss Shige Nagai
entered the Nassar School Of Music
in 1875, and made n love match
with Lieut.. Uriu, Of the japanese
navy, who was educated by his gov
eminent at our naval academy at
ANNAPOLIS, and first met his piquant
countrywoman at a Nassar fete, to
which a number Of Annapolis youths
were invited.
/ The wedding was agreed upon be-
fore either returned home. One OF
the festivities attendant on the mar
rage in Toxic was the amateur pre-
sentation of the fsAIeIchant Of Ven
ice'' before the court and Nikado.
Miss Ume Tsuda studied at the
Archer institute in Washington, and
is now teaching in Toxic at the
Peeresses' School for japanese no.
