Judge Wright, in the Baltimore Cit,

Judge Wright, in the Baltimore City
Criminal Court, on Monday, decided that the
ordinance regulating the sale of fresh fish,
fruit and vegetables, recently passed by the
City Council, is invalid. The Judge held
that it was an attempt to extort tax under
the guise of a license. Under this ordinance
$25 charged for the privilege of selling
from wagon and $15 from basket The
law worked great hardship on country truck
ers. This decision will be very satisfactory
to our county people. The ordinance has
always been regarded as illegal and as extor-
tionate in it's effects.

The Mckinley tariff, it was frankly stat
ed, was intended to check foreign importa-
tions, and thereby incidentally permit home
manufacturers to charge any prices they
might please. 1t has had this effect, and an
other, besides. According to the report of
the bureau of statistics at Washington, our
exports of breadstuffs in the three months
ending with March 31st, 1891, have declined
3S per cent, as compared with the CORES
ponding period last year, under the old tariff.
Thus farmers, under the Mckinley tariff, not
only pay more for what they buy, but send
less Of their surplus products abroad. Of
course, the more beef, pork, wheat and corn
we keep at home the lower the price will be.

lection of State and county taxes sufficient, they
were accordingly appointed
Second and Sixth districts, Robert A. Mitchell
per cent. Third district. James b. Harkins,
~ per cent; Fourth district, Henry G..
Wheeler, 215 per cent. Fifth district, Nathan
Rigdon, per cent.
The appointment for the First distric', Wa 8
laid over until the next meeting. The lowest
bidder, David T. Benson, 1886 per cent, filed a
bond with the Fidelity and Deposit Company,
of Baltimore, as security. The counsel TO the
Commissioners decided that under the public
local law relating to the appointment of tax
collectors this bond could not be accepted the
law requiring that the bond shall be lien on
the real estate of the several collectors and their
securities in Hartford county. The Security
Company, owning no real estate in Hartford,
can not become security on a collectors bond.
The next lowest bidder is William Munnik-
huysen, ~ per cent. The counsel decided
that his bond was sufficient and in proper form,

The Republican Legislature of Kansas
passed an act allowing women to vote At
the recent municipal elections the colored
women all voted the Republican ticket, where
upon the white women went the other way
and carried with them their husbands, BROTH
ers and lovers in such numbers that in many
towns the Republicans were turned out and
Democrats put in. In Kiowa a lady mayor
was elected. With the charming simplicity
and directness of her sex she did not wait for
the slow process of law but at once proceed
ed to close up all the saloons, billiard
rooms and other places of bad repute No
body appears to have found fault with her,
except, perhaps, the men who ran the places,
but as public sentiment is with her, their OBJ.
iections amount to little.

The high-tariff journals, in their efforts
to excuse the Mckinley law and reconcile
their readers to its Ubiquitous provisions,
point with pride" to the fact that under the
new tariff law the retail price of granulated
sugar has been reduced to fivecents pound.
They have neglected to explain that the re-
dnction is not due to high tariff but to no tar
if, the duty having been abolished. They
would have US believe that high tariff makes
cheap goods, yet we see prices advancing all
along the lines of protected Industries and a
fall in sugar when the tariff is taken of. Our
protection friends are welcome to any COM
fort they can extract from the effect of the
Mckinley tariff on the price of sugar. The
people understand it, and taste of cheap
sugar will only whet their appetite for fur
ther experiments in the reduction or aboli-
tion of the tariff on the necessaries of life.
