Burglars in Taneytown.

About one o'clock last Saturday morning
burglars attempted to enter the clothing store
of p. B. Engar, Taneytown. The outside
wire doors were forced open, and an attempt
was made to force the inside doors, but with
out success. The moulding was then removed
from the lower panels Of one of the front
doors, but further work was abandoned. either
on account of the burglars being scared away,
or because of not having the necessary tools.
They next tried the hardware store of McC.
Davidson, and succeeded in breaking open
the front doors, but so much noise was made
that Mr.. Davidson, who sleeps over the store,
was aroused, and opening front window,
fired two shots at the burglars, who had evil
IDENTIFY taken alarm and were on the opposite
side of the street. AS he had tree to OBJ
struct his view, he could only locate the
men by sound. The gang then started on a
lively run, and were seen by Mrs. j. F.
Warner, when they passed her residence.
She says there were four of them, one of
whom was tagging behind, and may have
been struck by one of Mr.. Davidson's shots.
1t is presumed that the hardware store was
broken open in order to procure tools TO go
back and finish opening the clothing store.
Three strangers, who looked like mechanics
on tramp, and who were seen in the town
the day preceding, are thought to be the
guilty parties.

An interesting Liquor License Case.

George Yunger, of Sykesville, who was in.
dicted at the May term of Court for selling
liquor in violation of the Freedom district
local option law, was tried before Judge Rob
erts yesterday Friday-and was found guilty
and was sentenced to pay fine of $50 and
costs. States Attorney Fink appeared for the
State and Elk Judge Bond for the defendant.
The evidence showed that Yunser was sell
ing under license, issued under the license
act of 1892, giving him privilege TO sellli-
quors until May. 1898.
Some time after the license was issued the
Court, in another case, held that the law OF
1892 did not repeal the local option law
Yunger kept on selling under his license and
was indicted. The case will be taken to the
Court Of Appeals. Pending appeal he was
admitted to bail upon his own recognizance.

The question of taxation is ever IL live one
always present In Maryland it has been
discussed by the press, on the stump and in
the halls oElegislation. 1t is one upon which
the people are divided and upon which there
is need of education
Taxation ought to be just and equitable.
and that is matter that will be considered
by all our people the coming winter. A new
assessment law is needed and demanded by
the people. There is honest difference as to
the theory upon which that law is to be draft
ed. The object is to enact a law that will
promote, not hinder, prosperity. Henry
George, in his great book, entitled Progress
and Poverty" discusses the tax question, and
lays down the principle that tax on land
alone is the only just and proper one. As
all value comes from the land, he contends
that to tax that which is taken from it is tax
on energy, enterprise and thrift.
His theory has never been much discussed
in Maryland, except at Hyattsville, where an
attempt was made 10 apply it in that village,
and we have no doubt our people would be
glad TO learn more of it. Mr.. Louis F. Post,
the we'll known lecturer on the Henry George
theory, can be secured to deliver a lecture
here about the middle of December. He is
an interesting talker and thoroughly versed
in the George theory. If some society or
church would undertake to bring Mr.. Post
here, an interesting and instructive lecture
would be afforded our people, and some
money could be made.
