Tax Conference.


Gov. Brown has published a list of the
delegates be has selected to the conference
to consider the matter of a new assessment.
The Governor has endeavored to select rep
resentatiyes of all interests in making up
his list: It has been objected that too
many lawyers and representatives OF the
moneyed class have been chosen, and too
few farmers. Be this as it may, no valid
affection can be made, for the result of the
conference if a result be reached, will have
no binding force 1t is conference for
an interchange of views aud opinions, and
the farmer members will be able to take
care of their interests.
In considering the assessment question,
it would be well not to lose sight of the
fact that no measure will be satisfactory
that does not provide for the taxation of
all people at their actual worth in real and
personal property; that the listing system is
demanded, and that few exemptions will be
tolerated. and the fewer the more satisfac-
tory the measure. Neither is it necessary
to have an assessment by assessors. This
cost can be saved and just as fair an as
sessment secured by the listing system.

An Extra Session of Congress.

An extra session of Congress will prob
ably be held Immediately after Mr.. Cleve-
lands inauguration The Senate declined
to repeal the Shermon silver purchase act,
and an effort to pass it in the House on
Thursday failed also. There is a very
general demand for the repeal of this meas
IRE, but the Republicans in both houses,
playing a game of politics, decline to do
their duty and want to force an extra ses-
sion in the hope that that event will cause
a lptrre in the party over the silver ques-
ton.
Unless the act is repealed 1t is feared
that the country will soon be drained Of
gold and be ON silver basis. But for the
relief afforded by the New York banks
the gold reserve Of the government would
have been so low that serious consequent
ees might have followed

Judge Gresham Declares Himself.

In an interview in the Louisville Courier
journal, Judge Gresham said
Il am only a Democrat on the tariff and
economic positions. | consider the tariff as
the only great question dividing the two par
ties. II the Democrats, when they take
charge, will carry out their pledges sincerely
and consistently and knock out the protection
fraud, will stay with them, and so will hun
dreds of thousands of Independents who vo.
ted for Cleveland in November. But should
the Democrats fail to keep their pledges not
one of these men will be found voting the
ticket in 1896. | feel pretty good, though,
about the future, for the fact that Carlisle is
going to take the Treasury is guarantee that
the new tariff bill will give tariff reformers
satisfaction. 1t is gratifying to know that we
have man like Carlisle to help Cleveland
through the great tariff fight which will soon
be upon us. Carlisle is great man and
knows all about the tariff and can make no
mistakes. | predict for him successful ca
reer in the treasury, and also in two years |
expect to see the finances of the country so
plain and so simple that boy can write
statement of the Treasury and understand It,
As it stands now, the more statements we
read of the condition of the Treasury the less
we know But Carlisle can be trusted, and he
will succeed in bringing order out of chaos,
and if he does he is my candidate for Presi-
dent in 1896, and there is not man in the
country that can beat him for the nomination
and election.

Beginning with Thursday of last week, in
tense cold has prevailed ever since in the
West and Northwest. Railroads have been
bleckaded by huge snow drifts and the mercury
was from % to 60 degrees below zero.
The temperature fell 46 degrees in one
hours at Denison, Texas, on Tuesday night,
reaching zero, and the cold Wednesday was
the most severe for 20 years. The streams
are all frozen over.
John Hill, colored, is on trial at Camden,
N j., for the murder of Joseph Dodson.
Hill admits the killing and says he was en-
ployed to do it.
Jacob Stoke, a misery farmer of Trues-
dell, Missouri, died on Monday of pneumo-
MIA, brought on by exposure. His little son
died on Wednesday. The mother and three
remaining children are nearly dead from
starvation and hardship. Stoke. through
living apparently in poverty, is said to have
been worth $4,000.
At San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday. the
temperature fell from so degrees to 30 within
two hours This severe change will damage
the fruit prospects. Peaches, pears. apples
and plum trees have been in bloom for ten
days, but cattle will not not suffer, as thare
is an abundance Of grass. The norther has
extended as far south as Monterey, Mexico.

Taxation.

Thomas S. Hodson, of Somerset county.
addressed the Baltimore Taxpayers Associa-
ton on Tuesday night Here is an extract
from his address:
ssThe constitutional rule means that if a
man is worth one hundred thousand dollars
be shall pay taxes on that amount Of proper
ty: these tax dodgers insist that the constitu-
tional rule is gratifed if he pays on only SIX
thousand. If mortgage OF ten thousand
dollars were added to this assessment OF SIX
thousand they would, to a man, cry out
against it as double taxation. Many men
who suffer by it and are the victims of the
tax. dodgers would join them in this cry. Can
it be possible that a man worth one hundred
thousand dollars pays double tax when he
paws on sixteen thousand dollars, although
len thousand dollars should represent mort
gage. For fear of taxing the few people who
own mortgages double we doubly tax two.
thirds of the people of the state. For fear OF
taxing people best able to pay taxes we tax
these who are least able to pay them three
or four times their just proportion, according
TO their actual worth. For fear of doing an
imaginary wrong we do a real one.
.Many a man on the public list of taxables
is known by the assessors and everybody else
to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Yet he is taxed sometimes not more than
$50, 900 or $50, 600, and sometimes less. The
record books disclose thousands and tens OF
thousands of dollars invested in mortgages,
and yet, by i, law peculiar to Maryland alone
of ali the states in the union. this mortgage
property, which is creation Of the law, de-
Tended and maintained and enforced by the
courts, property the safest, best and most
profitable Of all others, cannot, though known
to exist, be counted in estim ating the owner S
,,rnpar nronortion of tax
The truth is the Maryland constitution does
not authorize the taxation of property at ALL
There can be no such thing in Maryland as
the double or single taxation of property.
The language of the rule is that every person
shall contribute II is persons only that are
taxed. Yet the only persons who complain
of and harp at the double taxes are those
who would be most wronged and insulted il
you were to estimate their actual worth IN
private at the assessed value of their property
on the public tax books.

The Truth of History.

To Robert Rakes, of England, has been
commonly ascribed the honor of organizing
the first Sabbath school. \ communica
ton in Baltimore paper, signed Amy
Baldwin, claims the honor of establishing
the first Sunday school III america, for
Samuel Slater, of Pawtucket, Rhode ISL
and, in 1871. Robert Rakes did not
establish the first Sabbath school, although
it may have been the first established in
England, nor did Samuel Slater establish
the first Sabbath School in America. Ac-
eording to Prof Samuel A. Baer, of Read
ing, Pa, the Moravians, Of Pennsylvania,
established Sunday schools forty years
before Robert Rakes established his school
in England.

reply to Ex-senator Bayard on the silver
question, stated that if the Democrats in the
Senate would furnish ten votes there wonld
be no difficulty in repeating the Sherman

repeal and moved to take up the bill to

4 HOG HUNT IN woRcEsrER.
Wild Porkers Corralled and Fierce
Fight Ensues.
From the Baltimore sunday News

From the bslltlmOIc SunuaS NEWS
Snow HILL, Nd, Feb. 4.-The recent cold
weather has been effective in bringing to
light knowledge thathogs can be successfully
grown without food in Worcester, a fact which
enhances the estate Of County Commissioner
Edward j. ellis to an extent not yet fully
known, but certainly several hundred dollars.
The facts as elected by your correspondent
from Commissioner ellis himself are as
follows:
Several years ago two or three shoats stray
ed from the enclosures of Mr.. ellis farm and
took refuge in "Wigwam swamp" a low
tract Of swampy land belonging to Mr.. ellis.
For weeks after their first escape the shoats
were seen on the outer edge of the swamp,
but whenever an effort was made TO catch
them they would again hide themselves in the
brandy meadow, and finally all hope of their
recovery was abandoned, and not till within
ten days past has any hope of getting them
been entertained. But, like bread cast upon
the waters, they are returning manifold
not voluntarily, but in every instance alter
a long chase and spirited fight.
Driven from the swamp in pursuit OF 1000,
the herd of swine accidentally wandered
through an open gate back into their former
owners enclosures one night last week.
Unmindful of their way of enterance, when
Mr. ellis foreman first appeared, the hogs
with grunt took flight toward the woods,
but were unable to find the outlet through
which they had entered, which had been
hastily closed after their discovery was made
Then came the battle, which resulted in cap
tnre after bloodshed on all sides.
A posse of men was summoned TO the scene,
and pack efhounds that looked fierce enough
to eat several of the hogs were mustered and
the capture began. l. occupied one entire

There was nothing novel in Mr. B.
Howard HamaH's plau, presented to the
State Road Convention, recently, in Balti-
more, in which he proposed to make good
roads and reduce the taxes, by putting the
bed of the Chesapeake under the control Of
the State and subletting it 10 tenants at
one dollar per acre annually The subject
was mooted at Annapolis, in 1880. A
prominent New York gentleman said that
if the State would covenant to grant him
the oyster beds of the bay, he would pay
off the State debt, educate all the children.
support the Judiciary, and pay all other
public expenses, and abolish State taxation
entirely. No doubt all this could be done
if the wealth of the Chesapeake were thus
utilized but this generation viii never wit
