BAKING POWDER.

would hate to have to pay $50 year for
them.
Senator" Dempsey Griffin favored early
marriage and the bill before the house as
means Of suppressing crime. He claimed
that the majority of conviots were baehe-
because they had nobody to direct them.
PROPOSED THREE TIMES.
Senator" Spaid OF Ohio made the most
humorous speech of the occasion. He ops
posed the bill because nothing was said or
provided for about girls refusing to marry
when asked. He would be willing to vote
for bill taxing girls who rejected offers of
marriage, but he vehemently opposed tax
ing man for something he could not help.
Senator Spaid told how young men
while counting girls had to fnancier in q
way which would put Jay Gould to shame
70 cater to their wishes, and oftentimes
after asking them on Bonded knee or other
wise to share their hearts and hands found
out that all the time they were only ar
ranging to secure sisters" or "frends. I"
Senator Spaid related his personal export
enoe. saying that he had proposed three
times and was rejected, and did not propose
to try any more. Under such circumstances
he failed to see any Justice in being COM
PEELED to pay $50 year.
Senator" G. Il. King of Kentucky,
while favoring the tax. agreed with "Sena-
TOR" 5pald about reflections, and offered the
following amendment which was adopted:
And be it further enacted by the authority
aforesaid, That any male citizen of this country,
who can furnish affidavit and satisfactory
PROOF that he has in good faith, proposed to
and been rejected by at least three spinsters,
shall be exempt from the operation Of this act,
and not liable for the payment Of the tax set
out in the first section hereof.
MARRIAGE EQUAL TO SUICIDE.
TNT- \
the measure as abridging constitutional
full thing, advising young men to ride
bicycles rather than marry, because the
former is q quicker way to suicide.
Senator" Cam Of Virginia made fer
vid speech in support of the bill, and re-
ferred to Adam to prove that the tax of
bachelors would be virtue and blessing to
mankind.
- "Senator" Davis Of New York opposed
the bill on the grounds that it was burden
some and unconstitutional, and bore upon
the face every evidence of fraud, trickerY
and corruption.
The question Yves called for at the con.
clusion Of Senator Davis speech, and re-
suited IN the defeat of the measure by a
two-thirds vote.

Ready to Give a Big Bonus TO Get the
M, D. and s.
A force Of about twenty-five hands is en-
gagged in excavsting and grading for the
track OF the Macon. Dublin and Savannah
railway on the lands granted the company
by the city near the new water works site.
The opinion of those acquainted with tho
affairs Of the company is thatthe work will
not stop when enough has been done simply
TO secure the grant made by the city for the
time being, but that it will be con-
tinued steadily until a considerable portion
OF the line between Savannah and Dublin
has been graded and made ready for the
track, The work will not be rushed, but
be pushed gradually and steadily.
gentleman who had received the in
formation from an undoubtedly reliable
source said yesterday that the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah railway had been guar
anteed $4,000 in subscriptions by the
board Of trade and merchants OF Charleston
if the company would make that city its
terminus instead Of Savannah.
The offer was considered and declined by
the company, it preferring to build its line
to Savannah, even without a dollar guar
anteed. This speaks well for the estimation
placed upon Savannah as port terminus
by the railroad company and at the same
time shows the value placed upon the road
by neighhoring port. II the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah would be worth $500, 900
to Charleston it is worth as much again to
Savannah.
The syndicate that will build the road
was formed some time ago, and the line
would have been nearly completed by now
had it not been that the financial
disaster which involved the Cen
trial railroad discouraged northern
capital and caused the f1nanclers to lose
confidence In the ability of the state to sus-
tain another railroad of the character pro-
posed. 1t is the determination, however, of
the parties who are interested in the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railway to push it to
completion, and there is little doubt that by
the end Of next year the road will be COM
pleted and In operation.

BUSINESS MEN NOT WORRIED.

No Damage Expected From the Quar-
antine against Europe.
The business men of Savannah do not
seem 10 be much worried over the enforce
ment Of strict quarantine against Euro
pean vessels this season. They do not an
ticipate that 1t will hamper business to any
great extent None of them would be
willing to have vessels from the infected
ports come up TO the city without going
through a thorough process of disin-
lection. The fact is that almost
all the foreign vessels coming into this
port have TO spend longer or shorter time
at quarantine anyway and the addition of
q day or two TO their enforced stay there
viii not be any great inconvenience, as
they can put in the time getting rid Of
portion Of their ballast.
Many Of the vessels arriving at Savan-
nah in the shipping season come by way Of
the South American and West Indian ports
and are always subject to inspec-
ton. To escape the strict enforce
ment Of the quarantine regulations
the shipmasters who leave ports
infected with fever or other contagious
diseases have a way Of coming by some
healthy port and getting a clean bill of
health there to present on putting in to the
American ports. On this account it is
necessary to examine every foreign vessel
coming in very closely to prevent evasion
Of the quarantine ordinances. The ship
master who is discovered in any violation
of the quarantine rules this season will be
made TO suffer for it.
Mayor McDonough said yesterday that
while the quarantine regulations would be
strictly enforced, they would not be any
more strict than has been the case for some
time past by his orders. He does not think
the enforcement of the quarantine Ia likely
to hamper the shipping trade at all. II
do not believe that we are going
TO get any cholera here" said the mayor
"but we are not going TO run any risk OF II
If strict enforcement of the quarantine will
prevent it."
Mayor McDonough predicted that Savan
nah would have the finest quarantine station
on the South Atlantic coast before the be
ginning Of the next season.

The shots aud screams OF the woman,
however, aroused the village, and in few

a posse and started in pursuit of Virgins,
threatening to lynch him. The posse over

but the cooler heads among 1t dlssuaded the
others from lynching him and decided

his wife were brought in. The would-be

into her side had fractured the fourth rib
and penetrated the plural sack. driving
several pieces Of the shattered bone into the

Norton managed it successfully.

Several members of the cotton exchange
stated yesterday that they had no doubt
that the exchange would have q resolution
presented for its consideration with regard
to the immediate sale of the public build
ing site and that it would be adopted.
Owing to the absence of the president of
the exchange and number Of the directors
and members it is hardly probable that
any STEPS In this direction will be taken for
some days When full attendance can be
assured then such a resolution will doubt
less be adopted either by the directors or by

nenry George ON indirect Taxation.

Henry George Indirect Taxation
In Henry Georges ssProtection or Free
Trade, which IS Just now being extern
siyely circulated by members of con-
gress, the author thus clearly shows
how oppressively indirect taxes-and
especially tariff taxes-bear upon the
poor, while the rich almost entirely es-
cape: "a still more important objection
to indirect taxation Is that when inn
posed ON articles of general use (and It
is only from such articles that large
revenues can be had) it bears with far
greater weight on the poor than ON the
rich Since such taxation falls ON peo-
pie not according to what they have but
according towhat they consume, it is the
heaviest ON those whose consumption Is
largest in proportion 70 their means.
HAs much sugar IS needed to sweetena a
cup of tea for working girl as for tho
richest lady in the land. but the Propor-
tion of their means which tax ON sugar
compels each to contribute to the govern
ment IN the case of the one Is much
greater than In the case of the other.
SO it is with all taxes that increase the
cost of articles of general consumption.
They bear far more heavily on married
men than on bachelors; ON those who

none; ON those barely able to support
their families than ON those whose in
comes leave them large surplus.
''h the millionaire chooses to live
closely he need pay no more of these
indirect taxes than the mechanic. I

possessed not of one, but OF from six TO
ten millions each-who paid little more
of such taxes than ordinary day la
