SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1893.
The Maryland Press.

The Baltimore Nescs is publishing in its
Sunday editions the views Of the state ed
itors On matters to come before the General
Assembly this winter. In keeping with
its reputation for honesty and industry the
Ne,cs takes in all, and gives the views just
as they are received, regardless of its own
opinions.
In this work the Macs has brought out
some very important faets-or rather the
letters demonstrate them. One is, the
parlisanship Of the Republican editors.
Their letters, with scarce an exception,
breathe partisanship. In stating their
views they all try to score point against
the Democrats. There is an entire abb
sence of partisanship in the letters of the
Democratic and independent editors. They
write TO the public good, not to score a
party advantage.
A carelessness and indifference is dis
closed by these letters. And this is most
apparent among our Democratic brethren.
We note it with regret, but candor compels
us to remark that papers in this state that
ought to be vigorous and forcelul, are put
to press with column of loaded news
matter, instead of instructive articles from
the pens of the editors. In short, the
Democratic editors of Maryland are not
doing their duty to themselves and their
party. The most of them are capable of
vigorous work. Some are very strong
writers, and all are qualified to do better
work than they do.
There is large field for work. The
people nae to be taught that the bay is the
common property of the state;
That a judicious law would not only in
crease the oysters and oyster industry, but
return Il large revenue to the state;
That no assessment law without provi-
sion for the listing system would be of
That all property ought to be taxed;
That where no exemptions are provided
there are no controversies;
That higher education ought not to be
provided at the public expense;
That, therefore, all appropriations to
colleges and academies are wrong;
That all appropriations to private insti-
tutions are wrong, no matter what return
they make to the state;
That the state has only power to support
itself, and .ghen it exceeds this it goes be-
You'd the constitution.
Aud in national matters the tariff should
be continually kept before the people;
Teach them the difference between nd
valorem and specific duties;
Teach them that it is wrong To tax one
class for the benefit of another;
Teach them that all men are equal;
Teach Democracy.

The Flight of Time.

\ theme for moralists and for mOra1iz-
ing and very appropriate at the closing of
the old and the opening of a new year.
So quietly and so stealthily do the years
steal away, that the youth of but yesterday,
as it were, finds himself gray haired man
of to-day. Shakespeare aptly says
I'VE take no note of time,
Save by its loss"
And we scarcely count its loss, while i'm
mersed in the cares of business or in the
giddy whirl of everyday life. There comes
time II all, however, when this subject
must engage our attention. however prone
we may be to dismiss it from our thoughts.
The girl who is growing passs looks into
her mirror and finds here and there a
streak of silver in her hair The robust
man feels, now and then, twitching pain
that reminds him of accommodating years.
All must meet these reminders, sooner or
later, of the flight of time The author
above quoted has said, in another place,
Time i'll advance, behind him hides his wings,
And seems 10 creep decIepid with his age;
But, when passed by, what then is seen
But his broad pinions swifter than the wind.
At the close of the old, and the begin
ming of q new year, it is fit that every one
should say, reverently, to the Author of
time-"My times are in Thy hands" Let
us improve the remnant allotted to each.

Income Tax to Pay Pensions.

The pension expenditures have now
reached about one hundred and eighty
millions Of dollars year To meet this
expenditure Congressman John l.. Brett,
of Indiana, introduced bill in the House
of Representatives on the 18th, levying a
tax on incomes of $4,000 or over of per-
sons and companies and corporations doing
business in the United States.
The revival of an income tax has been
opposed as odious and could only be justi-
fed as a war measure. Payment of pen
sions is result of war, and if the revenue
derived from an income tax is devoted to
paving pensions the objection is removed,
By the operation of United States and
State laws, wealth escapes its just proper
lion Of the public burden, and an income
tax would even up matters to some extent.
The bill ought to pass

License of the Press.

Liberty of the press is the heritage Of
free people. Excess of liberty is license,
the abuse of liberty While the liberty of
the press is a fundamental principle in all
well-regulated governments and cardinal
principle in the constitution Of this gov
eminent, it is nevertheless hedged about
with statutory limitations as safeguards
against the abuses to which it is at all times
liable. These statutes defining the limits
of that freedom, and also the law of libel,
are regarded with so much liberality towards
the press as TO be rarely enforced, except
in instances ola gross and hurtful character.
This liberality in the public mind towards
the press, ought to inspire caution and cir
cumspection in the press towards all per-
sons with whom it has TO deal. But, I'M
fortunately, it does not at claims as
large charter as the wind, to blow ON
whom it pleases.' And it does so with
immunity, in the face of this liberality,
which it does not always reciprocate
There is little to restrain the press and to
keep it to its propriety, beyond sense of
decency and self-respect. \ sense, which,
it must be admitted, is too often very OBJ
tuse Witness the cartoons and caricatnres
in Puck and JuIge, and also in many of
our daily papers. These things are gen
orally only provocative Of laughter, but
they are also often accompanied by cruel
filings that harrow the feelings of the vic
Tins thus held up to public ridicule. The
publishers who indulge most freely in this
sort of caricature, would themselves vince
under it, if they were the victims.
kings, queens and priests,
Maids, matrons.
All are victims of this class of publicists.
Presidents and all public functionaries are
equally so. There are no exemptions. We
have been led into this train of thought by
witnessing in one Of the Baltimore dailies,
recently, coarse and vulgar cartoon of
President Cleveland and the Democratic
party, in which there was neither wit nor
point to relieve it of its coarseness and
vulgarity. Such wantonness of the press
may serve its purpose, but it lowers the
standard of journalism, in so far as it has
any effect at all. There is a sense of jus
tiee in the public mind that is not slow to
vindicate any one so damnifed, and the
journal or publication inhicting the wrong
or injury is correspondingly denounced.

Mr.. Osborne |. Yelott, member-elect
Of the House of Delegates from Baltimore
county, has issued two leaflets, one on
oysters and one on taxation. Mr.. Yellott
wants to know how to vote upon these
two important questions. His own views
are given in the leaflets, and show conclu-
sively that he needs instruction. He seems
to believe the oyster counties should regu-
late the oyster laws, and on the matter of
taxation he believes in exempting capital.
''The listing saystem, he says, Golfers a
premium on lying This argument is
always advanced by those who desire cap
ital to be exempted, and it is based on the
idea that the rich or well-to-do will lie
rather than do their duty to the state.

Andrew Carnegie, the great Pittsburg
iron master, will sail for Egypt on the 4th
of January. Before leaving he will start
every iron mill with which he is connected,
giving employment to thousands of labor
ers. And this, Notwithstanding the Will
son tariff bill and its supposed unsettling
effects upon manufacturing interests. The
fact is, there is vast amount of arrant
humbug in the carping criticisms of the
Republicans upon this subject. 1t is a part
of their tactics to create alarm with the
view Of defeating the bill 1t is clear
case of selfish private interest against the
public welfare, aud deserves not the serious
consideration of statesmen and men of

Intelligence comes of greatly reduced
Christmas sales abroad In Berlin, the
dispatches announce, the sales were
'small beyond parallel and in Paris there
was decided falling off in Christmas trade.
There appears to be in existence at this
time worldwide conditions tending to re-
strict trade. OF course it is all owing to
the Wilson bill. At least there is as much
sense in ascribing these restricted sales in
foreign lands to the Wilson bill, as there is
in ascribing to that source the business
stringency in this country.

The Legislature.

The Legislature of this State will meet
at the Capital on Wednesday next. We
have already, in previous issues, adverted
to several of the most important subjects
to come before that body, and need do no
more than simply allude to them now.
The assessment of the real aud persona
property of the State outweighs in impor-
lance all the rest. The question of free
books will again occupy the attention OF
the Legislature, also the subject of good
roads and oyster culture. The members
should be 90 their guard against the pro-
posed expensive and complicated road law.
As to oysters, nothing will be done in the
right direction until the people Of the oys-
ter counties have passed through an eye
opening campaign of education that shall
teach them how to make the oysters fill
their treasury, and at the same time fill the
Golfers of the oyster men much more effect
ually than they do now,

service in New York harbor, and one of
which is dynamiter or torpedo boat.
