The DIFFERENT VALUES OF MEN.
"A man should be the same value all
over a state, and most any one would
think that in levying taxes this would
be followed out, but it is not in Della
ware. In placing an assessment on a
man he has to be given some value
In New Castle county, if he is laborer
he is assessed to pay tax on 5000. If
he is a mechanic, he is assessed to pay
on $500, and if he is a professional man
he is rated higher. II Kent county
any man who is not a professional man
is taxed on 5000, regardless of his
occupation. A professional is as
sessed at $500. In Sussex county men
are assessed at $3.50 each. How this
value was first determined, no one
seems to know, but it has been fol-
lowed for years, and no one has ever
asked why it was done, or inquired as
to the relative taxes which a man
should pay in any of the three counties
This is an argument which some men
are using in the State at the present
time in favor of an uniform poll tax
throughout the State, to be paid at the
time of registration. 1t is held to be
unfair that man in one part of the
State should be compelled to pay more
tor the privilege of voting, or the right
of voting, as it may be considered, than
in any other part of the State.-MOrB-

Southern Railroad were in Annapolis
last week and appealed to the Ways
and Means Committee to change the
appropriation of $5S, 900 from the Elk
ton and MiddletOwn Railroad to the
Elkton and Southern Railroad. The
cOEcensus of opinion was against any
railroad at all, rather than the Elkton

give the Pennsylvania the control OF

effectually blocking any competing

Want a county reasurer.-Some of
the people on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland are trying to secure the pass
age of a bill providing for a county
treasurer, who shall also be collector to
taxes. The law which they want the
General Assembly of Maryland to pass
is similar to the one under which the
taxes of this county are collected.
The bill is being opposed by many
people in Maryland, although it is ad
mitted that the new system would save

John F. Salisbury editor of the Del

to the last. His parting shot was at
the EUening Journal, of Wilmington,
as follows: We know that the owner
of the EUening Journal has been in the
market, for he offered himself to the
Young Mems Republican Club, of Will.
mington, for membership. He also
offered to sell himself to the present
editor of this paper to advocate what
ever he wanted for a consideration
profitable 90 himself. In the face OF
such facts we feel constrained to say
that it is beneath us to have further
controversy with him because ne is
nothing but a low cur, contemplate in
action. low in morals, destitute of prin-
ciples, and not respected by decent
people who have come in contact with
him. In fact, he may be justly classed
a true Polly McKnatt, and Polly
McKnatt is Democrat when among
