The meeting of the Horticultural
Society which met in Dover Ou Tues
day and Wednesday of last week,
though interrupted by the cold
weather and snow blockade, was one
of the most interesting and instructive
conventions it has ever held. In point
of numbers it might not be termed a
brilliant success, for the snow blockade
prevented great many of the society's
most energetic members from being
present, but in other respects the meet.
ing was entirely satisfactory. There
was q fair attendance, aud the papers
presented to the society have never
been more valuable and interesting.
The Society is thoroughly in earnest
in its work and aims for tine highest
development of horticulture that is
possible on the Maryland-Delaw
Peninsula. And the members claim
that the Peninsula is one of the garden
spots of the American continent, that
climate and soil are all that can be de-
sired, and that here fruit culture can
reach the highest mark. The Legisla-
ture of Delaware, recognizing the value
of the SOCiety's services in the devel-
Opment of fruit growing, makes an
annual appropriation of $500 to aid in
its work. The Maryland members
feel somewhat dissatisfied at the appar.
ent lack Of interest in this work by the
Maryland Legislature, which, nOtwith-
standing the fact that the greater part
of the Peninsula is in Maryland, and
that fruit growing is the Peninsula's
greatest industries, has never done a
thing to encourage the development of
the industry. ut has not only failed
to make an appropriation to help US"
said Mr.. ]. W. Kerr, of Caroline
county, "but it has even failed to pass
a really satisfactory 'yellows' law for
the protection Of peach growers. In
fact, said he, the Baltimore Sun has
done more to hell us than all the rest
of Maryland put together.
Much of the important points of de.
liberation are given on our FIRST page.
Strong ground was taken for nut-rais.
ing as a promising source of revenue.
Plum culture, in a limited way. was
thought 20 be with the small fruits a
sure source of revenue.
Prof r p Chester, Of tho Delaware
Exper.r alton, gave an interest
ing talk on the rot Of peach and other
stone fruits, giving the reasons for the
disease, the result of experiments with
relation to it, and telling of means of
prevention.
Prof. Beckwith, of the same station
read two instructive papers, one on
injurious insects, in which he told or
the recent investigations looking to
their determination, and the sccond on
landscape gardening

THE question of tax is one that is
just now agitating our neighbors
oAer in Maryland, as we'll az the peO-
pie of Delaware. The question in
both states is, upon what shall tax be
levied, viz: whether property not tan.
ss-i5is, such as notes, bonds, etc, should
take their place with real estate, stock
etc.
The Hon. James j.. EllegoOd, of
Salisbury, and who was chairman OF
the committee on Ways and Means in
the last Legislature, made q forcible
and perspicuous address before the
Taxpayers Association of Baltimore,
last week, in which he ably reviewed
the propositions of the Hayes bill, and
gave a number OF substantial reasons
why Governor Brown should not have
vetoed it. Mr.. Ellegood paid bis COM
pliments to the capitalists who had
urged its veto upon the Governor, and
refuted the proposition they have
maintained before Governor Brown,
that property not tangible In Mary
land should not betaxed in
Maryland, and very forcibly an
swers Mr.. Cowen's objection to the
bill, that it taxed the brain. the skill,
the managerial enterprise Of the prop
erty owner.
To this specific objection, Mr.. Ellie
COED asked:
What else do you tax? Certainly
Smyrna times., 1893-01-18
WHY vosHELL WAS CLEARED.

The ignoring of the charge against
Voshell is said to be due to the pres
sure of public sentiment in favor of
the accused. 1t is said that there was
no evidence brought before the iurv to
prove greater fault than that of at
tempting to SECURE errors consequent
upon bad bookkeeping. There was
nothing TO prove that the bank had
lost any money; the experts who ex-
amlued the banks books admitted be-
fore the jury that they did not believe
Foshell had taken any money belong
ing to the bank, and that thorough
examination of the banks books.
would probably result in balancing his
accounts and disproving any loss to
the bank.
1t is said that the members of the
jury from Kent county were practi.
eally unit in favor Of ignoring the
OIL when their session of Yesterday
morning began.
II Is said that the grand jury admit.
ted that VOshell was technically guilty
under the law, but there was no proof
OF intent to defraud the bank. Vosbell
when arrested, admitted he had altered
the banks account.

The news comes from Dover that
Messrs. Budd and Cochran, appointed
health commissioners by Governor
Reynolds, will press on the Legislature
the selection of Bombay Hook Island
or part Of it. for Quarantine station,
at least such is declaration of +. r.
Cochran. 1t is a matter that greatly
interests this part of the State. Force
must be met by force, viz; any effort
they may make before the Legislature,
must be met by an equal antagouistic
force. We have only time at this
writing to note what is intended it
is for the people to act in measures of
defence.
