A romantic story is told of the wife
of Thomas Z. Watson, the Populist
candidate for Vice President. 1t was
to the effect that after one Of the bat

baby was found among the dead aud
wounded. AS no parents claimed the
child, it was supposed that they had
perished in the strife, and 1t is not

A case in which many Nirginians are
interested is now pending IN the Court
Of Appeals Of Maryland. The facts IN the
case are as follows:
with a view to encouraging manu-
featuring in the town Of Frederick an
enabling act was passed by the Legisla-
ture and an ordinance was passed by the
BOARD Of Aldermen Of Frederick exempt
ing manufacturing plants from municipal
taxation. Under this ordinance an cleo
tric light company claimed exemption
from taxation. The tax collector of the
town insisted upon the payment OF the
taxes upon the theory that an electric
light company Is not a manufacturing
CORPORATION, at least in the sense con-
templated by the ordinance. The case
went into the Circuit Court No other
point than the one stated appears TO have
been raised in the pleadings. and the
court decided. first. that the ordinance
does not apply to an electric plant. and
second. that the enabling act was un-
constitutional.
Both the enabling act and the ordnance
are substantially similar to those under
which manufacturing plants in the city
OF Baltimore are exempt from taxation

THE REMEDY FOR SILVER AGITA-

Mr.. Settle. and l believe the silver SEN

people care nothing for silver. per sc.
They asked for free coinage only as a
means to an end. They know that there
is a lack of currency. and that 1t is hard
to get enough money for legitimate bust
ness demands. and they have been seek
ing relief.
We believe that free coinage would not
only have failed to give the relief needed
but would have made a bad matter
worse. and have brought destruction TO
business Of the whole country But
The Times is in entire sympathy with
the people of the South in their demand
for reform of the present system in such
a way as TO give a local currency that
shall always respond promptly to the
demands of business.
The Republican party will have great
responsibility on its shoulders. The peo-
pie refused to approve free silver. but
they are not unmindful Of the fact that
currency reform is necessary, and they
are looking TO the Republican admins
tration for relief. Not only is the forth
coming administration in duty bound to
grant this relief. but its very salvation
depends upon its willingness and ability
to meet the issue and solve the problem
to the satisfaction of the people. \ con-
