THE GOTERNOR F4TORS THE
LEE ELL.

Governor Lowndes, when question
ed on Wednesday about his opinion
of the Bankarl assessment bill as it
passed the House, said Il
think the subject is in an awful mud
die and that it must be Strengthened
out before the bill is presented to me
for my signature. AS soon as the
Committee of Conference is appoint
ed, intend to ask them to meet with
me and go over the matter in detail.
In my opinion, the Lee bill is the one
that should pass. 1t meets the situa
ton, in my opinion, as it provides for
a reassessment of property under the
present laws and provides for home
rule, in that it allows the various
boards of county commissioners and
the Appeal Tax Court of Baltimore
City to decide whether or not personal
property should be taxed
When questioned as to the particu
lar points to which he objected, the
Governor did not particularize, but
said he thought the bill was muddIed
and did not hang together well. He
said he did not think the taxation on
bonds was too high in the Bankard
bill, but about right. When asked
whether he objected to the taxation of
mortgages, he said: Not specially,
but | hardly believe that an income
tax on mortgages is constitutional"
These views of the Governors are
considered significant. 1t means that
the assessment fight is not yet over.
even though the Herring bill went
through the Senate unanimously and
the Bankard bill went through the
House with only one vote against it
that of Mr.. John i. G. Lee, of Har-
ford, the Democratic author of the Lee
bill.
Last night several of the leading
Republicans in explaining their votes,
intimated that, although they were
not altogether satisfied with the bill.
still they would vote for it, in the hope
that it would be Strengthened out by
the Committee on Conference. In
fact, the unanimity about last nights
action was little too pronounced to
suit some of it's friends.
1t is known that several of the lead
ing Republicans in the House are in
favor of the Lee bill. among those
being Messrs. koontZ, of Washington.
timore city, Smith, of Cecil, Ohr, of
Allegany, Chesley, of st. Mary's, Ches-
ton, of Anne Arundel. and Holmes. of
Prince Georges, all of them influential
Republicans.
ii these men move actively in favor
of the Lee bill they are likely to worry
Mr.. Bankard greatly in the care of his
pet measure. However, nothing will
be done until the two Conference
Committees are appointed.
The Governor is allowed six DAYS by
the constitution in which to consider
the bill. If he does not veto the bill
in that time it becomes law without
his signature. This being so, the as
sessment law will have to be sent to
the Governor before next Monday
week if it is wished to make sure to
have the bill back in the House for
action before adjournment on March

THE LITTLE MAYOR AND THE BIG
FIFTEEN

The people of the State have been
very much interested the past few
weeks about the fight between the
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
City.
1t will be remembered that Mayor
Hooper in his campaign last fall
promised that if elected he would give
a non-partisan administration. In
accordance with his platform since his
inauguration, he has appointed several
persons to offices who had been Demo
Gratis. The City Council refused to
confirm these appointments and pass
ed an ordinance placing the appoint
ments entirely in the hands of the
Council. This the Mayor promptly
vetoed. Then arose the fight. The
city papers promptly gave the oppos-
ing parties the nick name of the little
Mayor and the big fifteen"
For days they watched each other
like hawks and on Monday night the
Council passed the ordinance referred
to over the Mayors veto. They now
have everything their own way and
unless the Courts intervene will make
the balance of appointments. In the
meantime bill had been introduced
in the Legislature authorizing the
Mayor to make all the appointments
and it passed the Senate. 1t met with
very different fate in the House.
Being local bill it was referred to the
Baltimore City delegation which is
composed entirely of Republicans.
They promptly killed the measure in
short order
Now what does this go to prove in
regard to those anti-election reform
pledges. Does it not show that the
only object the present party in power
has is to get into the vineyard and
gather the grapes regardless of any
thing else. What do they know or
care about reform ? Absolutely moth
ing. All they want is the offices and
the peoples interest can go to the
dogs.
In the meantime we as Democrats
who were not hoodwinked by the
false cry of reform, can stand off and
watch with amusement the perfor-
mances of these circus donkeys.
We feel that while reforms were
needed the best way was to reform
within the party and not put in
parcel of spoilsmen who would only
fight over the patronage.
But we advise those in power to get
all they can, as it will be the last time
for many day that they will be in
power. Possibly they are commencing
to realize this and that accounts for
their action

York, says he is tired of Ohio men,
and that New York will be against
Mckinley to the last ballot. 1t looks
as if the the contest against Mckinley
will be more bitter than those in which
Blaine and Grant were fought, and
the fight will. no doubt, be carried be
yond the convention.
With such II broil on hands at this
early day, and the objectionable
bungIing of which the Republi
can party has been guilty, the pros
| poets for the election of Il Democratic
President this fall are unusually
| bright.

relate the story of the failure and martyrdom
of the Maid of Orleans. Other important tic
ton of the year will be Il novelette, by Mark

Mckinley has been making great eff
forts TO capture the State of Illinois.
His friends have already spent 800,

asked prominent iron and steel men
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois to
contribute 100000 more for the same
purpose. These methods have ar

Kinley seems to be using any means

this true during the months of March and \ pril,
