The suggestion of the tax commission that
more taxation might be imposed upon the
savings banks is opposed by the Bank Ex-
aminer and the managers of those institu-
tion1. Tho average dividend paid by these in
situations Is now about four and one half
per cent, and of course If the tax is increased
this rate must be diminished. A diminution of
the rate which is pretty low already will I'M
doubleday have the effect of diminishing the
deposits, so that it is by no means certain
that an increase of the tax rate will increase
the aggregate amount received by the State
The more the matter of taxation is con-
sidered, the more difficult satisfactory So
luton appears. 1t is admitted that the bur-
dens are somewhat unequally distributed
under our present system, but the recogni.
ton of an evil and its correction are two
very different things.

The incident of the killing of Barrundia on
board an American merchant vessel in the
harbor of Acapulco involves some nice
questions of International law about which
there is room for disagreement. In the de-
bate in committee Of the whole Tuesday, Mr..
Lodge presented Secretary Tracey's side of
the case and defended his action in repri-
handing Commander Reiter. Congressman
Boutelle presented the other side of the case
and made some very telling points against the
action of the Secretary. The weak point in
the action Of Mr.. Tracey was his condem-
nation Of Commander Reiter without giving
the latter tchance to be heard. and Mr..
Boutelle's criticism of this action Will, we
think, be regarded by the public which likes
fair play, as fully justified by the facts.

One of the suggestions made at the ballot
hearing was that candidates be grouped on
the Australian ballot according to parties
and that one mark against the group be re-
garded as sufficient to indicate the voters in
tention to vote for each individual member
of the group. While we do not regard this
suggestion as an Improvement. but quite
the contrary, 1t involves nothing vital
to the system and for that reason we do not
think the friends Of the system will be likely
to make strenuous opposition to it. II this
concession is needed to secure the passage Of
the bill we should certainly favor 1t. The
great object to be obtained is a secret ballot.

The Bangor Wing keeps on day after day
accusing the PRESS of slandering the State
by representing that bribery is rampant at
our elections, Now as matter fact the PRESS
has never made any such assertion. All
that it has offered on this point is the
statement of the chairman of the
Republican State committee of 1880
made in a despatch that was sent all
over the country, saying in effect that in the
two or three days preceding the State cleo
ton of that year several thousand votes
were changed by the corrupt use of money.
The Wing published that despatch and en-
dorsed 1t. Does it repudiate it now? Does
1t also repudiate its independent declaration.
in the same direction made at that time?

1t is curious fact that though Sir John
Macdonald's supporters gave as reason for
the sudden and unexpected dissolution OF
Parliament that as negotiations were about
to be entered upon with the United States for
closer trade relations. the government
wanted an expression of the people on the
matter, in mis- address to theelectors the SUBJ
ject of reciprocity is not referred to even in
them casual manner. The address is taken
up chiefly with an appealto the loyalty of
the Canadians. coupled with the insinuation
that the programme of the Liberals means
the virtual handing over of the Dominion to
the United States. 1t is skilful document
and though a good deal of 1t is buncombt
yet lis buncombe OF taking sort.

The South Bound to Be Built Into Sa.
vannah and Columbia.
The South Bound road is to be completed
into Savannah and Columbia at an early
day.
That is the decision arrived at yesterday
at the meeting of the stockholders Of the
Savannah Construction Company. The
meeting was largely attended by the resi-
dent stockholders and by several from
South Carolina.
President Denmark of the construction
company and President Conner of the
South Bound reported the results of their
conference with the northern stockholders,
substantially as appeared in the MORNING
News several days ago. 1t was decided to
increase the capital stock to 81, 900. 200.
The new issue will be readily placed, and
as soon as 1t has been the work of complet-
ing the road as designed by the projectors
will be carried out.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and
the hackers Of the Magnolia route showed
plainly that they are determined to make it
q success.
Many OF the large stockholders here, 1t
is stated, will double their subscription and
the balance will be taken by the South
Carolina aud northern members Of the COM
pany.

The Speakership Election Does Savan-
nah and Georgia Proud.
The nomination of Congressman Crisp
for speaker was the topic of talk among
Savaunahians yesterday. Everybody was
delighted and everybody was jubilant over
the honor conferred upon the distinguished
Georgian and ex-Savanuahian. Many tele-
grams of congrstulation was sent to the
new speaker by his personal friends who are
numerous
hon. +. Il. duBtgnon, a warm friend of
Mr.. Crisp, sent him the following telegram:
Accept my warm congratulations. hope
you feel as good over your election as we do
down here"
Mr.. duBignon said that he considered
Crlsp's victory great one in view of the
difficulties which the Georgian had to sur
mount. There was no doubt, he said, but
ex-President Cleveland's influence was
thrown to Mills, together with that of all
the members Of the late cabinet, Senator
Carlisle and other great lights OF the Demo-
cratic party.
The selection Of Mr.. Crisp" said Mr..
duBlgnon, "was the most judicious move
the democrats could make. He is wise,
able, conservative. calm and deliberate
man. who has absolute control OF his tenn

officer. He is as sound on the tariff as any
man IN the party. Mills, on the other
hand, would, in my opinion, have been mis-
take. He is good man, with pronounced
ideas, but he is too easily ruffled. Once
during the last session, while in the report
ers gallery, saw little display of this.
Mills was making a speech and Reed ruled
him down. The Texan waved his big head,
colored highly and with the remark, that
ruling is - outrage he strobe out of
the hall. If he had been elected speaker he
would have been losing his temper every
day. My choice il Crisp could not have
been elected was Springer"
Congressman Springer came in for a big
share of compliments from Savannahians
for the manly way in which he broke the
deadlock and cast the deciding vote for
Crisp himself. II the Illinoisian could have
heard the nice things said about him here
he would no doubt have felt amply recon-
pensed for his good services to Crisp.
Many puns were made on the selection Of
Crisp. Some were good and others-well
| it's useless to remark.
"This is a very Crisp day in Georgia" re-
marked banker as he entered his Office
early in the morning. Eyes, but, a -
cold day in Texas" replied his cashier who
had foolishly bet on the Texan.

There was probably never funeral In
Savannah at which so much genuine grief
was exhibited. Sobs could be heard all
during the service, aud there were hundreds
with tear-bedimmed eyes. There were
many more with tears in their hearts that
did not appear upon their cheeks. The
line OF carriages to the cemetery was a
long one. Many people took the street cars,
so that the crowd at the grave was q very
large one.

It was later when the procession reached
the cemetery and the services at the tomb
were very short DIR. Burrows spoke a
few words and delivered a short prayer.
The choir sang GOOD Night and the last

The Holding of Two County Offices by
One Person to be Tested.
It is reported that there is a move on foot
to test the question in Chatham whether
one county officer can hold two Offices. The
law on the subject was passed at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature.
The first attack will be made on Capt.
John r. Dillon, tax receiver and clerk of
the county commissioners. 1t is under
stood that the fight is being made by
County Treasurer Waring Russell and will
bs opened up to-day at the county commits
sioners' meeting. The manner In which it
will be brought will either be by q writ of
quo warranto or mandamus, and unless
settled by the commissioners will probably
be long -litigated question.
The working of the new law is vital
question. but Of course all cases have two
sides. The point has been raised whether a
county officer can even be a notary public.
Mr.. Russell yesterday resigned his Office as
q notary.
