On the Grounds That He Was the Milford
Man Brings Suit Against Him.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, April 30. The Superior Court
heard the case Of George S. Grier. 1t
was a suit brought by man living near
Milford against Grier TO recover cer-
tain amount Of money for tomatoes sold
to j. Alexander Harris & Co, which was
never received by him. IL seems that
Harris ran away and as Grier was one Of
the firm, suit was made against him.
The defense will endeavor to prove that
Grier was not one of the firm. Counsel
for Grier are Lofland aud Davis, for
plaintiff, p. Il. Causey and Edward
Ridgely. Sr., and James Pennewell. The
case took up the entire day and part
Of this morning.
The decision in the case of Henry g
Collision. which was argued last week,
has not as yet been given.

The White Clay Creek Hundred Nan
Scores the Measure Numerically.
Mr.. Pilling-"Mr. Speaker, we might
Just as well decide right now on this
as at any other time. l don't consider,
from my standpoint, that that amend
ment alters the principle. 1t makes
some minor changes. but does not alter
the principle engrafted in the original
bill-therefore, we might as well under
stand here whether we are going to tax
investments and stocks-right here on
this question Of this amendment now.
There has been a great deal said with
regard to this taxation question Both
parties, IL is charged, are pledged to IT,.
/ admit it, but what are we pledged to-.
We are pledged TO pass laws to make
every man pay his proper proportionlof
the taxes TO support this state and its
government That is right; but / con-
slider that If we adopt this amendment
to the bill we will be farther of than
with the present laws on the statute
book. IL is well known everywhere that
capital will flow to where it will bring
the most return, let that be where il
will-here, in the little state of Della
ware; or the Empire state, New ork
or Europe. It will 60 where it can gel
the most return, just as mechanic viii

Lawlcss Merchants.

Last week some of the jealous
merchants of Franklin organized
themselves into lawless mob to
order five Jewish merchants who
seemed to be doing a good bust
ness to pack up and leave town
within ten days. -s-c. t... .-
Four OF the Jews are men of
families, the fifth one is unmar-
ried.- These Jews are all peace
full law abiding people and some
of them live and do business in
that town for the last two years.
Itappears that their only crime
is that they give better attention
to their business than their jea-
Gus competitors and are doing a
lucrative business. .. ..-,.
1t is with pleasure we note the
failure of their lawless move and
the decisive and bold stand taken
by Judge A. c. Allen and District
Attorney NJ. T. Goody. They are
brave and worthy officers who will
maintain law and order at any
cost. f.t4
The following special taken
from the Picayune, dated, the IL
inst, gives fuller details OF the
disgraceful affair:
"a crowd of men, composed prin-
cipally of merchants, called upon
five Jew storekeepers here last
night and ordered them to shut
their stores and leave the town.
The parties who we're ordered to
leave made complaint before the
grand jury, who will investigate
the case tomorrow. The action
of these parties is generally dis
approved. t t-~
This seems almost incredible,
coming especially from so enligh-
tened and progressive sectien of
the state. The anti-Jewish cru
SADIE in Russia and Germany is
disgrace to those countries; what
then are we to think of an outrage
such as this in Louisiana? We
are glad to see that @the action
of these parties the bulldozers-
is generally disapproved" by the
good people of Franklin.

that is necessary for the expenses
of the government early in the
coming week. The question was
also discussed as to where the re-
venues were to come from, and
the Secretary gave the committee
the benefit of his advice. After
they left the treasury = meeting
was held at which,. according to
the best information abtainable,
it was decided to place no duty
whatever on sugar. and to take off
the bounty; not to- increase the
duty on beer; to place the whisky
tax at 81 20 per gallon, instead of
ninety cents, as at present; to put
coal and iron on the free list, and
to adopt a graduated tax on in
comes, from which to derive the
greater part OF the necessary re-
venues, r.t
So far as the programme with
regard to sugar is concerned,
there is strong evidence in. sup
port of the statement that it will
be made free in
THE NEW TARIFF BILL,
as it will be presented to the
House. For the last several days
the committee has been wavering
between the two propositions, q
revenue tax on sugar or an in-
come tax. One or the other had
to be adopted in order to provide
enough revenue, and it is said
that, fearing the effect of a sugar
tax on future elections, and in or
der to attract and hold this rural
vote. the question has been deter
mined against sugar and in favor
Of incomes. - eas.>ssrsss .
Two members of the committee,
who were up to yesterday oppos-
ed to an income tax, to-day told
The Times-Democrat correspon-
dent that they would favor tho
proposition. The sudden change,
coming after the conference of
yesterday, augurs SO badly for
sugar in view of the alternative
situation that il is worthy of no.
tice, and taken in connection with
the other information heretofore
referred to, seems to be of consi-
derable Importance and in the ma
ture of corroborative evidence. 1t
is also learned that the influence
of the ways and means committee
will be thrown against the propos-
ition of submitting the bill to a
Democrats before presenting it in
open House. The reason of their
objection to be their desire that
protectionist members of the par
ty should state their position in
open house, rather than behind
the closed doors of caucus, the
object being to produce more CO.
hesion and a more definite party
policy on this issue than would be
otherwise obtained. The bill, if
it is based upon the lines now in
dicsted, will have a hard time in
passing the House and Senate. It
is likely to produce many dissen-
sions in the ranks of the Demo-
cratic Representatives, and it
would not be surprising, were the
committee to find itself beaten OH
several points of the programme.
The discussion on the bill will be
heated, and the debate is likely to
be one of the most lively and in
teresting, as we'll as vital in its re.
suits, of any of recent years.
Some far-seeing politicians even
profess to believe that of its re-
suits will be the entire recastinr
