WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--Those per-
sons who anticipate being gathered in
the folds of the income tax may breathe
freer if they can derive any comfort
from the unabated opposition to that
source of revenue on the part of in
fluential Senators and members. There
is no strong opinion to the effect that
anything will or can be done at the
short session of Congress in the direc-
ton Of lower tariff. The bills passed
by the House at the last session aa
supplementary to the Gorman.Brice
tariff may be brought up In the
Senate, it is true, but the prospect Of
action on them is dim indeed. 1t would
be easy enough for the Democratic pro-
tectionists in the Senate to defeat action
upon them, but the Republican Senators
even in the altogether unlikely event OF
the conservative" Senators DESERVING
from their side, would not have tine least
difficulty in accomplishing that object.
Undoubtedly there will be deal Of
tariff talk and the usual silver diarrhosa
| the coming session, but 1t will be all
talk and no action. Business interests
can, therefore, be perfectly satisfied
| with the assurance that no additional
tariff legislation will be enacted for
three years to come. The whole con-
test over the tariff, except so far as talk
is concerned, will be RENTED 10 the
next Presidential campaign.
AS for the income tax, the men who
| opposed it at the last session will oppose
| 10 at the next. Various propositions for
its repeal will be submitted promptly on
the opening of Congress and advocated
| with vim and energy. Mr.. Hill, accord
ing to reports, will expend his leftover
enthusiasm from his gubernatorial cam
paign in renewed assaults on the income
tax, and those amenable for its provi-
sions will have all the encouragement
they need for Sinking and evasion.
Those who favor the income tax will
see to II that no repeal is effected. But
the means TO render the income tax
provisions abortiye are in the hands of
its opponents, and it is understood they
will be ayailed of to the fullest extent.
the Treasury Department has authors
tatively announced the impossibility of
collecting the tax unless adequate ma
chnery is provided. To do this a lib
eral appropriation is requisite. The APP
preparation for this purpose already
made will scarcely do more than secure
the merest preliminaries for the assess
ment and collection of the tax.
The Senate rules and the courtesy"
Of the Senate place it in the power Of
the minority to defeat any appropria-
ton for this purpose. Mr. Hill is un-
doubtedly in the mood to essay this,
and he is quite sure to have the passive
if not the active support Of the Repub-
lican Senators. Present appearances
! therefore indicate that the government
cannot depend upon deriving much
revenue from the income tax in the next
year of our Lord.

SMYRNA, Nov. 23.----At a special meet
ing of the town council yesterday after
noon the sewerage system, as completed
by Acock q Son of Trenton, N. j., was
firm paid. The whole plant, including
work, material, &C., cost the town a
little over $4,000, and now Smyrna
boasts of having the finest system on the
Peninsula south of Wilmington. The
citizens show readiness to tap the
sewers and give the town their hearty
support.
The sewage was allowed to be turned
on yesterday and those who had made
connections with the main are now en-
ioying the benefit of its excellent regu-
lation. The system is known AS the
Waring system. Flush tanks are placed
at lateral crossings going north and
south, which at stated intervals flush
automatically the sewage through the
main to Duck creek, about mile from
town, into which the sewage is dumped.
Each street of any importance has these
sewers. George e. Gaskell of Mount
Holly, N. j., who has been employed by
the town as consulting engineer and
overseer of the work, pronounces it as
an excellent system, made of the best
workmanship and material. Smyrna is
indeed a model town in the way of i'm
provements and the most pleasing feat.

MIDDLErowN, Nov. 22.-The opin-

ton OF sending Mr.. Addicks to the
United States Senate, or returning
Senator Higgins, would furnish very
interesting reading to some of the
ftiends of these gentlemen, for they
both have admirers, and others who are
not classed in that category, in old st.
Georges hundred. Those who are in
favor of giving Mr.. Addicks what they
insist is his by right Of purchase, say
that the Republicans who now Claim
that the money which the Boston man
spent was not used through the State
committees of that party, did not think
of this before the election, when their
chances of victory depended entirely
upon the amount Of Doodle used. Now
that their party has won, and they are
confronted with the idea Of sending
Addicks to Washington, they hold up
their hands in holy horror, and say it
will never do. Why they did not think
of this before the election is some.

the 'man from nowhere and every

Choptank Steamboat companies have

The Gutheips Successful Rescue of the
Lutin's Crew.

The German ship Gutheil which has
just left this port had very interesting
experience on her voyage here. Just
off the Newfoundland banks she sighted
water-logged vessel which turned out
to be the French ship Lutin.
The Lutin had all her masts gone
and was slowly settling. The crew of
IS men were almost starving, having
had nothing to eat nor drink for four
days. 1t was difficult and very critical
job to send boat to take the crew Of
as che waves were running ''mouutain
high" The captain of the Guthiel
called for volunteers. The first, second
and third mates offered to command the
relief boat, but the captain accepted the
services of Third Mate Joseph Wetter,
as he was an unmarried man and the
other officers had families. The dan
gerous mission was successfully per.
formed by Mate Wetter and his boats
crew, who brought the shipwrecked
Frenchmen safely aboard the Gutheil
where they were well cared for.
