UNUsCAL-On Tuesday we did our work
in the office without FIRE during the day and
in the early afternoon found it to be uncom
fortably warm, III fact, The boys wanted the
windows hoisted at one time. The ther
mometer rose to 65 in the shade On the South
side of the street,
AN OvERsrGETs r. Whi,tingham
having misla.a his manuscript, the column
on the tonrth page that he has purchased for
mis- church notes and interests IS partly
occupied by plate matter this week; 1t should
not DC taken for his; We preferred not to
leave tie space blank. 1t will not likely
occur again.
The Maryland Conference of the United
Brethren Church will convene in the Keckys-
vile U. B. Church today. Bishop f. B.
kcphart, D. d., l.. l.. d of Baltimore, will
preside. Rey, W. l.. Martin of Mechanics
town, is secretary. The Woman's Branch of
the Maryland Conference convened yestcr
day. The Rev. Bell, ID. d., of Dayton, Ohio,
will deliver the annual missionary sermon.
Another important and interesting speaker
who will dclytr an address on this occasion
will be Miss Emma Landis,of Hummelstown
Pa. The report on missions to the conference
will be read by Prof. &. +. Flock, of Myers
vile, this county. On Friday night during
the conference a Young Peoples Rally will
be held, at which time there will be Especial
programme rendered. Rev. J. E. Fout, of
Washington, D. c., will deliver the principal
address on the above occasion.
The Assessment bill has passed the Senate
bv vote fl7 to 8. Its fate in the House
| cannot be clearly forescen as yet; the in
iluencc that the tax dodgers have brought to
bear on the Senate has proven to have been
of so little avail that they should be dis
| Outraged, but they assurcdly are not. The
House being a more representative body,
being in closer touch with the county con,
sttuencies should carefully hearkcn to the
cry that is now going up from the uNiust!y
| taxed agriculturist lie is entitled to relief
and Til" money moguls Of the city who are
unloading mountains of spccious argument
upon the debtor class to frghtcn them into
acquiesccnce in their plans, should be shown
up as beng the wholly selfish people that
they are and 1t does not require Il very deep
analysis of their arguments to demonstrate
the utter sclhshncss thereof.
| There are millions of dollars exempt from
taxation, hidden, today that should be bear
ing itstshare Of taxation and the more per
sistenl the endCavor to defeat rc-aasess
mcnt the greater the proof that there is an
interested class, interested in having the
taxes paid by others, as they are toby by
lhe farmer and merchant who is unable to
hide his taXablcs in bank vaults.
With the more imam wo-thirds majority
in the Senate, an adverse vote in the House
will be reflection upon the business of that
body.
We really do not now consider the bll to
be in much danger, except from the Govern,
or's veto and he Will scarcely risk defeating
the will of the Legislature again, near rs he
may have been to being right two years ago
BY vote of l3 to 81 The House on Tues
day ordered the committee in charge of tn,
bl!l to report it by next Tuesday. This is a
straw, giving some idea of the direction of
the wind, hu, the vote is not tina, of the entir,
body by II votes and the majority on the
vote was but 7.
