The presentation of the beautiful
operetta Princess Bonnie," ut the
Opera House in this place, on Saturday
last, by the Jefferson Dramatic Club, Of
Opeiousas, was unquestionably one of
the most successful amateur perform
ances that could possibly be gotten up
and it would be impossible to accord
too much praise to the talented artists
who participated. Not only were the
individual parts perfectly rendered, but
the music was sublime and the ci,oruses
grand. The frequent and repeated re-
calls made by the audience must have
been gratifying evidences of apprecia-
ton to the young artists. We regret
that we have not the space to expatiate
upon the merits Of each individually,
but we can assure our neighbors that
they have left an impression that will
not soon be forgotten.-New Iberia
Enterprise.
Remember that this beautiful
operetta will be produced at tue Opera
House here for the last time on Thurs
day next. Reserved seats are on sale
at Jacobs.

LEGIsLATroN

The Hon. William +. Stewart, States
Attorney for Talbot County, in an able
and lengthy article III the Easton Star,
on Equal Taxation and Honest Money,
the Gold and Silye Of the Constitution
Remedy &c, in which he shows the
cause and effect. says
According to the census Of 1880, the
value of the farms in Maryland was
Sl75,O5s, $50; and the total value Of farm
products S26, AZ. 1854.
According to the census of 1880, the
value OF our farms was Sl65, 5OS, AL I;
and the value Of farm products S2s, $780,
2Ol.
"Our farms were valued 9,553, 029
more in 1890 than in 1880; but our farm
products were worth sl3S5,9l7 less in
1890 than in 1880.
"The farming implements and ma
chnery in Maryland by the census of
1890 were worth S0,540,0s0, and the
larmers live stock $40, 800
's,rhe total value Of implements, ma
chinery and live stock was S25, 734, 400:
those who owned, as well aus those who
rented farms were not only heavily
taxed on all this property, but they also
paid S2,4l0, S25 for fertilizers; yet in this
year, 1890, there were S64, ST., sos moro
cages on which there were no taxes: IN
other words, this one class of most
valuable personal property, worth $685.
$40, 403 more than all the farming im-
PIGMENTS, machinery and live stock, and
chiefly owned by capitalists, by vicious
legislation is exempt from taxation.
This very class of capitalists and tax
dodgers are the ones who cry loudest
against high taxes, except when taxation
is to he lessened by compelling them TO
pay their just proportion of property
owned by them. they care not how high
the farmers taxes may be SO they pay
none.
An in combustion remarks:
There must be a change or revolu-
ton; class legislation has produced our
distress and honest legislation only can
give relief and bring about prospect y
and contentincnt; our State Legislature
must enact just and equitable tax laws
so that everyone shall pay his honest
proportion of taxes; and Congress must
do its duty TO the people; the sove
reignty of this nation must be resumed
and the government supply enough good
money for the necessities of the people.
If these things are not speedily done,
our liberties will be destroyed, the ten
thousand capitalists will continue to
govern, the people will be ruled by
soldiers, and instead of Il free republic,
we will be dominated by an oligar, ny of
i'll gotten money.
The article is worthy as campaign
document, and should be put IN the
hands of every voter of the State.

To Consumers Of Water.
Office Of the Annapolis Water Company
ANNAPOLIS, March 7th, 1896.


Yielding TO the urgent demands of its Con-
sumers for more abundant supply of purer
water, the Directors of the Annapolis Water
Company have, within the past year. greatly
enlarged aud improved the plant of the Com
pany. The improvement consists of paving
the hitherto unpaycd eseryoir. the enlarge
ment comprises the erection of new pump
with daily capacity ofone and a half million
gallons, and the laying of new supply
pipe from the reservoirs to Church Gre G,
having diameter of IA inches: so that the
delivery capacity at the latter point has been
increased from one million to three million
gallons daily. In addition 20 these better
ments contracts are now being prepared for
the construction of an impounding dam at
the pumping station which will have storage
capacity of about twenty million gallons,
Necessarily these improvements have in
volved the expenditure of a large sum of
money, aggregating about forty iiyc ttuas
and dollars. In order TO meet this outlay The
Water Company has issued thirty five thous
and dollars worth of Bonds; leaving Heating
debt of about ten thousand dollars.
For the purpose of extinguishing this float
ing debt the Board of Directors have been
obliged to increase for the period of one year
the rates charged consumers.
All consumers of water who receive no
other notice will therefore take notice that
from APRIL list, 1895, to APRIL LIST. 1896, the
annual rental for Hydrants will be lively y
t$12l DOLLARS. and for Water Closets TEN
