The Tax Question in Maryland.

"A reporter OF the Baltimore Amer
ican interviewed State Senator
Hayes on this important subject. To
the question by the reporter: "What
do you think will be tie most prom
inent measure before the next leg
islature ?"
"Taxation /! taxation ~ replied the
Senator. "My views as the proper
law to be passed for reassessment
and taxation have not changed in
the slightest. I think the bill passed
by the last legislature was proper
and will be passed by the next leg
islature."
DO you know whether Coy
Browns tax convention will be
reconvened ?"
II have not the confidence of the
Governor on the question of his tax
congress. lido not know whether it
is proposed to reconvene the body,
or let it expire with the report of its
committee, prepared, but not pre-
sented. l did not attend the con-
gress because my services were not
needed there. The experts on taxa
ton who were present were able to
give all tho light needed on the
questions which might arise, without
any assistance from me. Then
thought l had better reserve my
strength and views ON the subject of
taxation for the next General Assem-.
bly,, if l were to return, when and
where the people, in the mode
provided by law, would and could act
and decide GA the property tax law"
"Will you give The american
your views on the subject of tax.
atom" was asked.
II don't think this is necessary"
replied Senator Hayes II will fur
nish you, if you desire, with the bill
vetoed by Governor Brown. That
bill contains my ideas of good
assessment bill. The subject of
taxation will figure prominently in
the next general election. The
people of Maryland ought to know
who pays the taxes and who don't.
believe taxation will be the leading
subject in the platforms of both
parties. The masses ofthe people in
Baltimore city, as we'll as in the
counties, when informed of the
iniqultous system of taxation now in
vogue; of the number who escape
and tor whom they pay taxes, will 60
with the party that not only prom
ises, but means to remedy the exist
ing evil. This I trust, and believe
will be my own party, for I think it
is fully aroused, to the necessity of
proper and prompt legislation. 1t
would not surprise me that before the
first two weeks of the next legislature
had passed you will have a more
drastic tax law passed than the one
vetoed by the Governor" "Will the
legislature pass a similar bill oyer
the Governors veto?" 81 don't
know what the complexion of the
next General Assembly will be, but
if the old legislature was reconveued
| think it would pass the bill over
the Governors Veto"
ado you think, Senator, that it is
possible to amend the Constitution
so as to get rid of the harrler of
Article 10 of the Bill of Rights?"
II do not. The people refused to
change this article at the last cleo
ton. And the eulogies of the Court
of Appeals on this article in the
Hyattsville case will aid in defeating
any change"
"Then The american may state
positively that it is your present
intention to return to the Senate?"
YES, it may" replied the Senator.

Wood Pulp Paper.

A most economical result has attended
the recent improved processes In manufac-
turing wood pulp for paper, contrasting
singularly with the fact that, years ago,
purchasers of sprucewood for pulp were
inclined to pay larger prices for smooth,
clear material than for any other descrip-
tion, it being customary in those days to
spend much time in boring out the knots
before grinding the wood into pulp. Now,
however, IL Is found that the whole sub
stance, knots and all, can best be ground
up, and then, the specific gravity Of the
knots being so much greater than that Of
the average pulp, they sink to the bottom
and can be removed. In fact, in soda and
sulphite pulp, there is less Of the knot left
after being in the digesters than there
would be of the ground wood pulp where
knots are present. The wood pulp grinder
prefers logs of full size OH account of the
larger percentage OF clear wood, but in
many sections much use is made of the
small sise.-New York Sun.

COL. OLNEY,S MAJORITY.

BY the official count of the ballots
cast in last Tuesdays election Col.
Olney's majority is increased to $50,
which is little more than one hundred
in excess of the majority as shown by
the returns of the wardens. This makes
the victory all the more decisive and
proves beyond question that whenever
the Republicans Of the city are thoroughly
aroused they can elect their mayoralty
candidate.
1t is not necessary to say anything at
this time of Col. Olney's fitness for the
Office of chief executive IL was because
he was known to possess the qualities
necessary to the successful conduct of
the city's business that he was made the
nominee Of the Republican party. That
the people regard him as eminently
fitted for the responsible position is sig
nally demonstrated 10y the unprecedent-
edly large vote given him.
In more ways than one Colonel Oh
ney's success will he satisfac tory TO the
people. During the coming year com
missioner of public works is to be ap-
pointed. The responsibility Of making
this appointment rests with the mayor.
There was a well-grounded fear that if
Mr.. McGuinness was elected he would
place at the head OF this very important
department one Of his own supporters
who would turn it into n political ma
chine. Indeed there Is reason for the
belief that it was the fear that this
would be done that led some Democrats
to support Colonel Olney.

1Iair as a Cleansing Agent.

That the hair covering the body Of an
animal or the head % human being
serves the purposes Of warmth and protec-
tion is manifest, but one would hardly ex-
pect to find that it also acts as cleansing
agent. This, however, appears to be the
fact. The minute scales which cover the
outer portion of hair are fastened at one
edge and free at the other, and the free
edges lie in the direction away from the
skin.
The surface Of hair, therefore, Is like
that of piece Of fur or cloth covered with
nap; rubbed from root TO tip 1t Is found to
be smoother than when rubbed In the op-
posite direction. This being the case, 1t
is evident that particles of matter In con-
tact with hair must find their direction
of easiest motion to lie toward the tip end
of the hair and away from its root. So
by virtue of the peculiar structure Of its
surface the hair serves gradually To re-
move from the skin which it covers all for
eign particles which may have found lodg-
ing there.
The oily secretions emanating from the
follicles Of the. hair probably assist this
action by gathering up the tine particles
Of extraneous dust and scales from tho
skin and thus enabling the hair to retain
them, so to speak, I'm the grasp OF Its Gu
rious system of brushes. Every move
ment of the hair, however produced, must
tend to set the particles sticking upon 1t
in motion, and as we have already seen
that motion can be In only one direction.

Increase of Chinese Leprosy.

Leprosy is said by the Chinese to result
from the eating of too much fish, but the
real cause is, / believe, still mystery.
Poor blood and uncleanly habits have
doubtless great deal to do with It, but q
satisfactory Investigation as regards the
best means for its prevention and cure Is
much needed. There can be no doubt that
in the south Of China the disease Ia great
ly on the increase. The number OF vic
Tins sent from Hong-Kong 10 Canton Is
becoming larger year by year, AID unless
somo effective means are adopted TO pre-
vent It's spreading there seems 20 DO no
reason why IL should not by and by in-
wade tho more northern latitadss, which
have been until now exempt from its raw
ages.-Gentleman's Magazine.

VAN ALIENS ADVICE.

Ambassador Van Allen has broken his
long and dense silence and talks upon
political matters. One of his gems of
thought, as expressed by himself, is " to
make the cost Of production small, we
must first reduce the cost of living"
This multi-millionaire thus talks to the
workingman. Reduce the cost
of living. In other words the
producer, the working man in
America, instead of fiviny as becomes
man, must make his living correspond
with that of the underpaid workman of
Europe. Then we can reduce the cost
of production and thus compete with
foreign nations in our own markets. The
cost of production must be lowered by
the lowering of wages, hence Mr..
Van Aliens sage remark that it
must be obtained by reducing the
cost of living. The idle workman
of the United States today can readily
understand this brutally expressed policy
of Mr.. Cleveland's chosen representa-
tive.
II is fair to presume that among his
duties when he finally arrives at his
post will be to learn how the laboring
classes in Italy live in order that he can
send home pointers for the American
working man.

The NINTH WARD CASE.

From the revelations made at the
meeting of the board of aldermen last
Wednesday there would seem to have
been a gross violation of the election
laws by one Of the officials charged with
their enforcement. The charge is made
that during the counting of ballots after
the close Of the polls additional marks
were placed upon some of them by "A
district warden. the purpose, it is
claimed, was to render the ballots de-
fective and by this means to elect the
warden who is accused of making the
marks.
Some very direct and convincing testi-
mony was given to the board by wit
nesses whose truthfulness can not be
doubted. 1t is to be said however that the
accused official has not yet been heard
in his own defence and a suspension Of
judgment is due him until he is given
an opportunity to speak. AT the same
time the facts presented make out such
strong Indictment against him that
prompt action should be taken to bring
him before the courts.
There he will have an opportunity of
establishing his innocence, if he is inno-
cent. The infraction of the law with
which he is charged is so serious that It
would be simply disgraceful to permit it
to be passed by without judicial investi
yafiop

never been permeated by politics.
Those who secured employment in 1t
were never asked as to their political
faith nor were they in any way inter
fered with in the free and untrammelled
exercise of the right of franchise. They
voted as their judgment directed and
the only control exercised over them
was that which was necessary to secure
for the city prompt and efficient work.
There is no doubt that Colonel Olney
when that duty devolves upon him will
select man of proven ability and one
who will be as successful as has Com
missioner Smith in the management OF
this most important department.
