Demagogy.

The Sun reports the Governor as saying
when asked why it was that he took SO much
intert st in the assessment matter as to talk
as freely to members of the Legislature as
he does on the subject. He replied: 81
give my views because am very anxious
about the result, not on personal account,
because there would be far more enjoyment
for me in Switzerland or anywhere else than
in perspiling over debt, taxes and finances
in Annapolis, but because there is duty
devolvlng upon me that must be met with
frmness. I have much anxiety for the
effect of any reassessment. We are by no
means sure that the revaluation in Balti.
more city will increase the basis. A de-
crease is looked for In some of tine counties,
and if the aggregate decrease is very large
there is but one thing to do, and that Is to
raise the taxes. Put up the tax rate in
such times as these and you are very apt
to produce political revolution"
sRaise the taxes ''-Such talk as this is
presuming the people are fools. 1t matters
not what the property is assessed at if the
same amount in tax is paid. If man is
paying $50 tax on $1,000 farm and the
farm Is valued at $500, his tax is not in-
creased If he still pays $50.

Two Bills of General Interest.

Senator Crothers has introduced
two bills of general interest. The
first relates to the selection and
qualification of jurors. The object
of this bill is to allow the judges in
the counties to hear suggestions and
make inquiries as to the fitness OF
the persons to act as jurors, and is
intended to meet late decision OF
the Court of Appeals combining judges
to the poll lists and tax lists. and
prohibiting them from hearing any
suggestions whatever.
The other bill is to amend section
SO. of articles Sc, of the code, making
it unnecessary for married women to
obtain an order of court to get q
traders license. The clerks are 10
the habit of issuing the license with
out the order of the court. and it has
been decided that without this pre-
liminary order the provision impos.
ing liabilities for contracts made in
business does not apply.

The Assessment Bills.

There have been two assessment
bills introduced at Annapolis, one
the we'll known Hayes Bill and the
other the Field Bill. The latter is
recognized as Governor Browns bill.
The Hayes bill is drag net and is
so framed as to miss nothing OF
property kind in the State. This
Bill provides the listing system,
which is the distribution of assess
ment blanks to all persons who have
or are supposed to own or control
taxable property. The persons sup.
piled with such blanks are required
to fill them out with the value OF
such property as named on the blank
being in his or her possession, and
return it to the assessor of the
district attested to under oath. The
Hayes Bill also provides an assess
ment be made every four years.
The Field or Governors Bill sup
plies the machinery. and scarcely
anything more, for making the
assessment, prescribing the duties OF
the several officers, leaving the pres
ent law stand, which designates the
property liable to assessment and
taxation. The listing feature is
omitted and there is no provision
made for any future assessment, but
the assessment to be made this year
ends it for all time, or until another
law is enacted. The Governor
bill is nothing more than making o
new assessment of property under
the present old tax dodger law
The Governor is making a deter
mined struggle to have the Field
Bill passed and the Hayes Bill re
jected. and intimates-or his friends
for him-that be will veto the Hayes
bill if it is passed, as he did two
years ago.

little easier terms?
Queen Lill,-reAecting a moment-Your
Excellency, might omit the chopping and
Danish them and their children from the
country for ever, and confscate their
property.
This is about the sum and substance Of
Minister Willis dispatches from Honolulu
These dispatches reveal the most disgraceful
chapter ever made by an American
President and Secretary in our country's
history. II is revelation such as the
American people never had before of the
kind of man, in his true character, Cleve-
land is. The papers which the President
concealed for weeks shocked the whole
nation when made public.
When Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated as
chief executive of the patton he fonnd a
defacto government in the Hawaiian
Islands. II mattered not to him or auv
nation how il came to exist. 1t was estab-
lshed by revolution as all governments are.
He had no authority to attempt its over
throw, either by diplomacy or force Of
arms, and the dsgracefnl revelation which
the papers laid before Congress brought to
light, emphasizes fact, which causes every
American to Jingle with Indignation or

Important Bills.

Among the bills which will pro-

insurance committee is the fire
marshal bill This ,s q general act
and wi affect the whole State, and
the county members will take an in
terest in it. II creates an office
carrying a salary of $4,000 and one
or two minor offices. The bill itself
has been Endorsed by the Baltimore
underwriters. 1t is claimed for it
that the new official may by careful
investigation and the detection of
incendiaries, decrease the heavy rate
of losses in farm properties. The
number of barns burned last year is
believed to be unusually large, and
the rural population will welcome
any expedient to protect their pro-
perty. Senator Hayes, at the head
os the finance committee. is deeply
impressed with the necessity for
economy and any improper sppro-
priation will have a hard road to
travel through this committee. In
this respect his associates on the
committee are said to be in entire
sympathy with him,-Balto. Sun.

Subject Of a Long and Animated Discussion
in the Senate.

Might Decline to Interfere with the

Over a Discussion on the Sugar
Schedule.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 90.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
IPOR nearly three honrs today the
H. senate was occupied in the con.
IT sideration of the resolution Of
u fered by Mr.. PETER Pop, Kan }
last week, declaring that the secretary
of the treasury had no authority in law
to issue and sell per cent. bonds, as
proposed in his notice. Mr. PETER held
the floor most of the time. yielding.
however, to other senators to interpose
remarks.
One of the most pregnant of these re-
marks was made by the Populist sena
tor from Nebraska, Mr.. Allen, and had
reference to the proposition on the part
Of the Knights of Labor to apply to the
courts for an injunction to prevent the
issue Of bonds. MIR. Allen suggested
that the courts might decline to inter.
fere with the action of the executive
branch of the government and that
the best way would be to allow the
bonds to be issued and then to enjoin
their payment.
The resolution went over, without
action, till tomorrow, when it 10 to be
further discussed by Mr.. Stewart. A
resolution on the subject of civil SER
vice reform was considered in tha
morning hour, and was. after some de-
bate, agreed to. The bill for the repeal
of the federal election laws was not
taken up Mt all, having been laid aside
informally to accommodate Mr. PETER.
