IN MEMORIAN.

In loving remembrance of BASIL EARNEST CHA
NEY, who died April l., 1891.
Just one year ago today, precious one from us was
taken,
A voice we loved is Stilled;
place in our home is vacant
Which never can be filled.
Affections sore sometime he bore.
Physicians were in vain:
God thought it best he should rest
And case him of his pain
How long he struggled against disease,
Which bafled skill and care;
And long he fingered wracked with pain
And suffering hard to bear.
What is home without our brother?
'Tis our cottage robbed of flowers
Where our broken, bleeding hearts
Have spent many lonely hours.
We have laid him in the silent grave,
Beside his mother, dear to rest
We know his happy spirit now
Is numbered with the blest
oh how we loved our Earnie
No heart on earth can tell;
But Jesus loved him better
And called him home to dwell.
BY HIS FATHER, MOTHER AND SISTERS

The Assessment Bill.

Goy Brown refused to signed the assess
mcut bill and there will not be revalua-
ZION of property this year.
We believe the Governor erred.
He listened to the voice of capital: rather
than to the people.
The latter were represented in the Leg
stature. The bill was their voice.
The people supposed bill that met the
almost unanimous approval of the Legisla
ture. containing more than one hundred
persons and coming from every county
would need no further commentator. INT
Democratic party had promised new as
sessment, and the bill was passed IN re-
spouse to that promise.
According to the judgment OF the "oV
ernor, it seems the people erred.
1t was contest of numbers. with him
There were twenty protests against thu
bill to one request TO the Governor to Sigl
it.
CAPITAL was more convenient to Annap
oils and more active Had the people hat
time. there would have been an almos
unanimous request from the counties 10
the Governor to sign the bill.
The people want new assessment-no
solely because, as alleged by the Baltimore
press, that the counties believe iars'
amount of wealth escapes taxation IN bal
timore. but because the present assessment
is not equitable and because there are many
thousands of dollars in every county that
is not taxed. as well as in Baltimore.
If everybody were taxed in accordance
with his possessions, the burdens OF toy
eminent would be go light that none would
complain.
Gov. Brown no doubt was actuated by
the best of motives. He thought the bill
would retard progress and drive capital
away, The unanimous voice of the Demo
cratic press is that Gov. Brown erred,
