An important point of law should be
borne in mind which is in the act of the
last General Assembly re-enacting the
old delinquent laws for Kent and Sus-
sex counties. On page 122, chapter
3I2, vol. IA, entitled, IAN Act in Rela-
ton to the Collection of Taxes" etc.
Section one, after defining the duties
of the collector in regard to giving no.
tices, and the duties of the Levy Court
In allowing delinquencies in Kent and
sussex cOuntles-expressly says:
The taxes uncOllected by him, and the
names OF such delinquents shall be dropped
from the assessment list by the LEVY Court
and shall not be placed thereon again for
period OF one year from and after the date
of such allowance Provided that the pro-
VISIONS OF TINS section shall apply to persons
assessed and liable to pay poll tax only.
No taxable can be returned as a de-
linquent who has any personal prop
erty assessed to him. The collector is
compelled to carry him until March
1895, even though he is unable to col
lect any tax from him. At that time.
upon affidavit of the collector. that
there is no property 20 collect the tax
from the Levy Court is bound to allow
MIN to the collector as an excess tax.
The law is very clear on this point and
the delinquent lists as presented by the
various collectors should be closely
scanned this week, as the law compels
these lists to lay open for five days
after being presented to the Levy
Court for inspection. If the Levy
Court is not in session, the Clerk of
the Peace is compelled to keep the lists
open for inspection and penalties are
provided for both that official and the
levy court for failure to perform this
duty.

THE recent brutal tragedy at Cornell
University will probably result in some
new and drastic legislation designed to
break up the barbaric practice of haz-
ing in New York colleges. A bill has
been introduced in the Legislature of
that State imposing a fine of from $40
to 500 and Imprisonment from a month
to year on students guilty of any
form Of hszing. 1t Furnishes one form
of indignity to the person, that of tat.
tOOing. with three to fifteen years i'm

iit of their visitP Why did they so
suddenly disappear just after election :?
Just examine the registry list and
the election returns and you will get
some light on the subject. In 1892
12,S4S votes were registered in the
second district. Of the votes pOlled
9,136 were for Cleveland and 1924 for
Harrison. Last year an off year-no
President, 13, ,496 votes were registered,
and of the votes polled, Maynard re-
ceived IL ,046 and Bartlett 1851. My
information is that to the election dis
trict giving the greatest majority to
Maynard was to be given a $1,000 po-
sition; to the next best another po-
sition; to the next a gold watch aud
chain. In three seperate election dis
tricts the entire registered vote was
pOlled, and in these districts Maynard
got every vote. Such a result was
most startling, and was never known
known before in our district.
