A false account subjects the owner

should, in spite Of the terms of the
act, make over the trust estate to a
Philadelphia trust company, an at
tempt to enforce the law against
him before n jury would, perhaps.
not be very fruitful of results. and
the property would be permanently
removed from this locality. ANY
legislation having a tendency to
drive away capital from the State is,
of course, to be deprecated.
Manifestly the accuracy and fair
ness of the assessment will largely
depend upon the experience and
character of the assessors, and in
the draft of the bill sent out for
inspection it was provided that
each assessor must have been a tax
payer for two years previous to his APP
pointment within the district for
which he is to serve. This salutary
provision appears to have been
stricken out of the bill as presented
to the House, and if omitted from
the act will make it more difficult
for the Governor to resist the pres
sure for these places which comes
from small politicians in need of q
job.

However great may be the popu-
lar feeling that the existing system
of taxation results in occasional in
justice, q new assessment bill il
certain to be the cause of some APP
prehension and disquiet. The gen.
eral aim of the craftsman of the
bill for q new assessment proposed
by the ways and means committee
of the House seems to have been to
have a revalnation of most classes
of property already subject to tax
alton, and to use for this purpose
in the main the machinery to which
we are accustomed. Accordingly
he has preserved most Of the old
law, even its involved and cumber-
some language, and has added but
little that is new. The general plan
of the bill is conservative. The
classes of property which by the
terms of the code are now exempt
from taxation all remain exempt in
the new bill, such as churches,
parsonages, hospitals, asylums and
free cemeteries. Certain other ex-
empsiOns now first appearing in che

SHOULD BE VEToED.-We COM
mend to the attention Of our far
mer readers the following letter Of
Messrs. Dudley & Carpenter OPP
posing the proposed lease Of two
of the Tobacco Warehouses;
We believe the tobacco planters OF
this county are in thorough accord
with their yiswsN Every farmer
whom we have heard speak upon
the subject. and we have heard
many, is opposed to the proposed
lease. The reason tho Southern
maryland planters have not sent
to Annapolis Q mighty protest
against the Bill is that they have
yet to learn its provisions. News
travels slowly in this section, and
unfortunately the Bill made rail-
road time through the General As
sembly:
BALTIMORE, Feb'y. 90, '92.
Editors Beacon We lnclose you
u copy Of letter from the Leaf
Tobacco Association of this City
which it has issued to the planters
advising their opposition to the
Laird Tobacco Inspection Bill
The Governor has promised the
Trade that il it and the planters
can satisfy him that all the Ware
houses are necessary for the accom-
mediation of the Tobacco Trade
that he will veto the Bill. The en-
tire Trade here has acted unitedly
and promptly and il the planters
will do their part we have a good
show to have the Bill vetoed and
save the Tobacco Warehouses for
their legitimate use. During the
months of July, August and Sep
TENDER of last year. with only a
crop of about %, 900 hgds., we had
to wait sometimes ten to fifteen
days before we could get tobacco in
spected, and this too with all the
screws in all five of the Warehouses
running-No. / Inspector running
No. with his Deputy, and No. 3
running No. lin order to accom-
modate the Trade and the planters.
Now. with a crop of say 40, 900
hgds., which present indications
point for the present year, how are
we to handle such crop with three
houses !? The storage capacity of
all five Warehouses Is about 80, 900
hgds.
The present system is, perhaps,
the best we have ever had, and in
our judgment, it would be a step
backward to interfere with it in
any way. Our samples now stand
well both in this country and in
Europe--much better than for many
years.
The Warehouses, notwithstand-
ing the two small crops of the two
last years have paid a revenue into
the State Treasury of about $50, 900,
so that there is no longer any ex-
cuse for depriving Us of them on
account of their being burden to
the State.
We think it unfair and unjust
to deprive us of any of the houses
becuse of the small stocks now on
storage. They were built for the
use Of the tobacco trade and should
be kept for this use only. IL they
once get them away from us we can
not say that we viii ever get them
back. We trust You will give this
matter a place in your next issue
calling the Planters attention to
the Importance of holding on to
the Warehouses.
Very truly,
DUDLEY & CARPENTER.

A STRANGE Rennion.

A strange reunion took place at the
Dunning Insane asylum Thursday after
noon. an error on the part of criminal
court bailif leading to the meeting of
husband and wife, who thought each
other dead.
George and Lena Hillman lived hap
PLY at Oak Park. One night, not so
long ago, George did not come home at
his usual hour, and his wife started to
look for him. He returned home and
then went out ON hunt for her. While
she was wandering around the police
picked her up, and after short stay at
the Detention hospital she was sent to
Dunning, her identity being unrevealed.
Almost the same performance was gone
through with the husband. He was TO
be sent to the poorhouse, but an intelli-
gent bailiff got him mixed with an in
sane patient named Larson and he was
sent TO the asylum.
The chief physician, who knew Hill
man, soon Strengthened the case out
when Larson" was placed on the books
He learned the unfortunate mans story,
and Wednesday located the wife in one
of the cottages occupied by women.
The matter was reported by Superin-
tendent Sawyer to the county commits
sioners, and Thursday, in the presence
of Commissioners Spofford, Ballard and
Stauber, the reunion took place. Hill
man will stay at the poorhouse until his
wife Is well enough to leave the asylum.

The new African gold fields are prov
ing profitable beyond all expectations. 1t
was prophesied about one year ago that
the output of the Witwatersrandt dig
gings would reach 10000 ounces in De
cember, 1891. and one year later 110, 900
ounces. Already the first prophecy has
been borne out, the average being about
$4,000 ounces q month. 1t is warm
thought and not unpleasant still, that
when the latest reports from Natal were
written, from which the facts above
were taken, and when the people Of this
country were shivering before the blasts
of winter, Natal was simply scorching
under temperature Of 100 degs. in the
shade, figure which was reached on
several occasions during Christmas
week. All trade was abandoned, the
people being content to exist without
exertion in such an awful heat.-Pitts-

There arrived at Richmond, Ind, re-
Gently husband and wife, accompanied
by q faithful dog, who, since Nov. /,
have walked more than l 500 miles, and
who now find themselves within fifty
miles of their destination. The man is
John May. Since the date mentioned
he and his wife have walked every foot
of the distance from farm in South
Dakota, and they have not cut across
lots either. They proved up claim in
South Dakota, and experienced the hard
ships that thousands of other early set
tiers in the northwest went through
with. Fate seemed turned against
them, and after they had lost almost
everything ON their place they secured
few dollars and started on the long
tramp that is now almost ended.
Their destination is Dayton, o., and
today they refused assistance from char
table people who offered to pay their
car fare there, saying they preferred not
to break their record and would COM
plete the journey on foot. The man is
twenty eight years of age, the wife a
year younger, and they have been mar
ried but three years. After leaving
Dakota they walked through Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, ending their
journey in Ohio. Cor. st. Louis Globe
