A number OF districts in this county report
Il decrease in taxable property by the newns
scssment rs compared with the present basis
In this district there is a gain Of about $75,
900 and, dedlctng exemptions, net gain Of
$50 900 in round numbers. This should be
very gratifying to our people, aud will be, il
they may be assured that there has been just
and uniform basis adopted and preserved by
the assessors throughout the entire county,
but of which there exists serious doubt.
Iu our judgment the gross total of aesess-
mcnt for each district, showing gain or loss,
as compared with the present basis should he
published IN advance of Il e meeting of the
Board of Control and Review; this would
largely establish or disprove any claim tina!
the assessment hat been on a variable basis
as to the different sections OF the county.
WIND AND RAIN. 1.-THE gulf storm first
noted in Saturdays weather report passed
up through the South Atlantic coast states
on Monday, arriving here on Tuesday. A
heavy rainfall occurred during the day and
night and from about ten until one O'Clock
at night furious windstorm ragged in this
section. In this town more than sixty shade
and other trees were blown down but little
or no damage was done to buildings AT
points the wind blew with hurricane force,
Graceham and Double Pipe Creek beng in
the line of such tierceness. Mr. l.. G. Smiths
hay sheds a. the former place were blown
down and ON Rev. D. II. Sayler's farm near
the latter the house was unroofed aud many
outbuidings barn we're damaged. Evidently
the vortex of the storm passed inland. The
uprocting of trees seems to have been
marked feature of this storm; as we 80 to
press reports are coming in of much damage
done in this and adjoining counties. In
Baltimore City, the electric companies; light,
power, telegraph, fire alarm and telephone
seriously crippled and the fire department
patrolltd the city.
Mr.. Charles Shipley's observatory on his
Graccham farm and the wagon shed on his
Thurmont farm were blow down, the latter
crushing his tenants buggy.
Corn shocks suffered severely where the
wind was fiercest.
The damage was wrought here in brief
period Of time. 1t came with the vecring OF
the wind from southe east to south west, that
is with the passage OF the storm centre.
The storm was very severe in the Il cality
Of Emmitsburp.

AZ oRLECr LESSON.

The remarkably rapid recovery Of all
branches Of business from the Harri-
son-Sherman-McKinley panic of 1884,
after the adoption Of the tariff Of 1894,
wasauributed by the Republican organs
when the change for the better first
began TO make itself felt, to the cleo
ton Of a Republican Congress in the
fall OF that year. And this Congress,
friends and fellow-citizens, was our
present do-nothing Congress. 1t adop-
ted do-nothing for It's motto on the
motion Of the Speaker at its first eau
Gus. and has done nothing, religiously,
ever since.
Let rs ask our Republican contem-
poraries again if they still think the
present Congress is responsible for the
remarkable revival in trade and indus
try since 1891 which is nowhere more
noticeable than in the case Of our own
town. And If the present worse than
useless Congress is not the cause. what
is. if not the change in our tariff laws
made in August. 1894. by the passage
Of the Wilson bin. which has largely
removed the oppressive burdens of Nc
Kinleyism from American trade. com

The annual statement OF the P. ".
& Ky. r. R. Co. furnishes another
strong instance Of the growth and pros
peri,y of Wheeling. particularly in the
past year or so. Il shows for 1895 a
total Of freight hauled of 92S. $50. OF
nearly a million, tons. This is an in
crease for the year 1895 over 1894 Of
4O6.91S tons. or about 70 per cent The
bulk Of this freight was coal, coke and
iron for the Wheeling mills, which
seems TO show that our staple indus
tries did q rushing business last year.
nearly twice as great. in fact, as they
did the year before.
This is the largest business the road
has done for twenty years. The net
earnings-that is. the earnings over and
above all charges and expenses, OF
which there are very many-for the
year we're So per cent on the capital
stock This is a showing which few
railroads in the country. great OF small.
can equal.
The "Pewiky" and Ohio county,
which is a large stakeholder. are to be
congratulated. also, the iron mills,
which. the statements Of this and other
carriers of their product and raw ma
terial show. have done an exceptionally
large business Of late. Coming on
top Of TWO years OF depression and
semi-panic this indicates wonderfully
sudden and thorough recovery since
1894.
