DELINQUENT Tx BILL.

One Of the most important laws
added to our Legislation this winter
was the delinquent tax bill intro
duced by Representative Woods.
It provides that the county treas
urer shall Immediately file with
the clerk of the court a complete
list of all taxes on real estate which
have become delinquent for the
year 1895, or any prior year or
years, and which taxes have not
be IL satisfied by payment, or re-
demption or sale of the real estate
to actual purchasers. Such list
shall include such taxes upon any
real estate which may at any tax
sale have been struck off to, or de-
clared to become forfeited to the
state, or county, whether such sale
or forfeiture was valid or invalid,
and that judgment shall be enter
ed against the property and the
owners, and the property sold at
sheriff's sale to satisfy the judg-
ment.
The law also provides that such
delinquent taxes may be paid be.
fore the list is filed with the clerk
of the court by the payment of the
original tax and interest at the rate
of Z per cent, from the time such
tax became delinquent. After the
list is filed with the clerk, the full
interest and penalty with the costs
mast be paid.

NE W ELECTION LII ".

The new law governing general
elections in this state has been
signed and approved by the COVER
nor. One Of the main features of
the new ballot is that man can
vote his entire party ticket by
making single cross in front of
the column de signatel for his party.
It will be remembered that this
rule prevailed during the first year
that the Australian ballot WAS in
troduced into the state. The style
of make up of the ticket has been
considerably changed and the first
column o. the ballot will be taken
up with the name of the Offices to
be filled. Next in separate columns
to the right will come the names
of the candidates of different par
ties for the Offices designated in
the first column. After each name
will be found square in which
the voter is toput his cross. Under
the new law no name can appear
on the ticket more han once, which
it is expected will largely do away
with fusion deals, and it is gener-
ally thought that the new style of
ballot will greatly simplify the in
tricacies which in past campaigns
have called for general complaint.

McKL.NLEY"S PROMISES.

So emphatic is the declaration
of President Mckinley in favor of
the creation of a currency commits
sion that there can be no doubt Of
his intention to limit his extra ses-
sion recommendation on that sub
ject to the establishment of such a
commission, with instructions to
report to the next regular session.
If he has any ideas of a plan of
currency reform they are yelled in
vague generalities. The only clear
note as to the policy of his admin
istration is the promotion of inter-
national bimesallism and, until
that end is gained, the maintenance
of the gold standard.
For the rest, the inaugural adj
dress outlines a policy which in
cludes the increase of the revenues
by tariff taxation, protection with
reciprocity, SWIVEL service reform,
economy in expenditures, antitrust
Legislation and the "jollylng' of
the people with prosperity" tink-
ering In foreign affairs, the Pre-
sident offers no consolation to the
jingoes and indorses with unusual
vigor the arbitration treaty of the
late administration His language
with regard to the honor of the
country and the protection of
American citizens may be inter-
preted as an intention to carry out
the policy Of Consul General Lee
in Cuba.
But an inaugural address is COM
posed of words. The country will
await with interest the practical
shaping of the Presidents pros
perity- making policy. 1t will
watch with particular curiosity the
enforcement Of the principle of
equality undsr laws granting spe-
cial privileges; the building up of
an American merchant marine
under a policy which has driven
American shipping from the face
of the waters; the destruction of
trusts under laws which create
their opportunities to rob the
people, and the enforcement of
economy in party which has the
record of having dissipated a sur.
plus of $lO0,000,OOO in four years
and raised expenditures to the
high-water mark of extravaganza.
Major Mckinley has the good
wishes Of the country, mixed with
anticipatory sympathy.
