Equitable Taxation.

Our federal tax laws, from the founda-
ton Of the government to the present time
have borne most heavily on the poor and
people Of moderate means. For instance,
diamonds are on the free list and wooden
shawls pay a higher rate of duty than the
India, and common cigars and tobacco bear
the same rate of taxation that the finest do.
The man WHO smokes two cent cigars pays
as much tax ON them as he who uses TWEEN
ty-five cent ones.
During the late war, to meet the unu-
sual drain on the treasury, an income tax
was imposed. From this source the gov
eminent received about $4,000, 900 Il
year. A similar tax now would yield about
S225, 00O,0 900, II was an odious tax to
the rich, and they made haste to have 1t
repealed. II was contended that ii was
inauisitorial. OF course it was. Any tax
system is. But that was not the real
ground of objection The rich and pros
porous were being made to contribute a
fair share of the public burden and they
rebelled. An income tax has again been
suggested, in order to meet the ever
increasing public expenditures, mainly on
account of pensions, and opposition is at
once set up. Says the conspicuous tax
dodgers organ of Maryland-"As re-
source for war it has distinguished merit
and is best reserved for that exigency.
With an equitable state tax law probable
mex, year, the tax dodgers shudder that
the Federal tax laws may be equitable also.

At the Democratic primaries in Hartford
county last Saturday 3,544 votes were cast,
235 more than We're given To Cleveland
last year. This shows large increase in
population or more interest in who shall be
Sheriff than who should be President.
The nominations are made on the Crawford
county plan, and the result in November
will be watched TO see if the antagonisms
developed in the primary contest cease and
the party vote equals that cast at the Pri-
mary, in order to Judge of the merits of the
system in selecting candidates.

Fast Mail to be Continued.

From the Baltimore American. June %.
President Hood has decided, in spite of the
failure of Congress to make the usual appro-
priation for fast mail service on the Western
Maryland Railroad. to continue the early
mail train which leaves Hillen Station at
4.30 and runs through to Hagerstown. The
continuance of this train will, however, be
provisional upon the action taken by the
board at the meeting of June %. As the con-
Meeting train on the Norfolk and Western
road does not meet the Baltimore mails at
Hagerstown until 1890 in the morning, it
would be much more profitable for the West
ern Maryland to meet it by train leaving
here at 7.30, when both local and through
passenger traffic would be heavy, whereas
4.3O is practically prohibitory to such bust
ness. Between Baltimore and Hagerstown
the 4. 80 train is of the utmost importance to
the residents, as it brings them both their
morning papers and letters.
When the 4.30 train was started on the
Western Maryland in 1884, through mail
coach carried the papers and letters to Chat
tanooga. This was afterwards shortened to
Roanoke, and later to Hagerstown. Under
the present arrangement the Philadelphia
papers reach the Southern territory as soon
as do those of Baltimore. President Hood
stated that the early mail, especially during
the summer months, when the number of
cif- people all along the route is greatly in
creased, was a matter of such satisfaction
everywhere, that he would be sorry to see it
discontinued, and thought that it would not
be, at least, not until September.
During this time the service will be run at
5he expense of the road, as the Postmaster
General has no discretion to continue the ap
General j. Lowrie Bell was in the city
Thursday in conference with President Hood
about the matter. Yesterday Mr.. Bell sent
a letter to President Hood regretting the fail
ure of Congress in the matter, and indicating
that the department would take it kindly if
the Western Maryland would continue the
early train.
