DELINQUENT TAXES.

Here is an interesting problem for tax
payers of San Juan county, who are Ow-
ING taxes for years prior to 1896. Accord
ing to Section 1l8 Of the 1897 Revenue Law
ali costs, penalties and interest in excess
of 6 per cent is RENTED if paid before
November 80. 1887.
Owing to the fact that during recent
years large proportion of the taxes still
remain delinquent, many taxpayers who
would be very glad to take advantage OF
this law might fail to receive any benefit
from it because of their not being famil-
lar with its provisions. In order that all
who may care to take advantage of the
provisions of this act, and may know OF
its existence and of the effect of its prOvi-
sions, it is published here, and the follow
ing table has been prepared to show more
clearly what will be saved by paying de-
linouent taxes before November 30, 1897.
An original tax of 81 90 for the year 1893
if not paid until after Nov. 30, 1897, will
require q payment of LAG or more, but
if paid before Nov. 80, 1897, will require
only 81 % or less, which will make saw
ing, on every $l.00 Of taxes, Of "a cents or
more.
An original tax of LOO for the year 1894
if not paid until after Nov. 80, 1897, will
require payment of 81. 80 or more, but if
paid before Nov. 30. 1897, will require only
Bills or less, which will make saving on
every 81. 90 Of II cents or more.
An original tax of 81. 90 for the year 1895
if not paid until after Nov. 80, 1897, will
require payment Of 81. 20 or more, but if
paid before Nov. 80, 1897, will require only
BLOC or less, which will make q saving on
every 81 90 Of IL cents or more.
Every taxpayer who has property that
is delinquent can save on 1893 or prior
years 244 per cent or more. On 1884, II
per cent or more. On 1895, II per cent or
more.

THE reference to the case against
Lummi and Chevalier which appeared
In the local columns of The ISLANDER
last week was intended merely as the
statement, or explanation, of the coun-
ty attorney and it should have 80 APP
peared. The editor, however. is still
of the opinion that 1.-The boys" were
let off too easily in being allowed to
plead guilty to petty larceny only, in
view of the well-established fact that
they confessed at Roche Harbor, in the
presence of four well-known residents
Of this county and the two Canadian
officers who arrested them and took
them to that place by order of the chief
of the provincial police, that they were
guilty of burglary; aud they agreed
further, to so plead. That being the
case, and with the evidence against
them at Roche Harbor, the question OF
conviction can hardly be considered to
enter into the matter; nor does it mat
ter what the personal wishes of Erd-
mann were, ~ he j. neither the state
nor the law.

THE "Solid South" is not so solid as
it used to be politically and Mason and
Dixon's line is no longer the southern
boundary of Republican territory.
Maryland will soon have two Republi-
can senators in congress; West Virginia
has one and is likely to have another;
Kentucky is represented by one Repub-
lican and by one Democrat who refuses
to stand on the Bryanite platform or
shout for free silver or fiat money; one
of the Democratic senators from Lousi-
ana, one from South Carolina and both
of the Georgia senators refuse to stand
with their party OH the tariff question;
one of the Texas senators refuses to
support free silver and North Carolina
Is represented by one Republican and
one Popuiist. The Democrats are nc
longer "in it' there.

THE most noteworthy feature of the
first annual report of Postmaster-Gen'
eral Gary is his urgent advocacy of the
postal savings banks. It is evident
that he has given the subject exhaus-
tive study and that he has become
thoroughly convinced of the wisdom
and practicabllity of such systems as
have long been in successful operation
in Great Britain, France, Germany,
and Canada especially. The editor OF

FROM his Thanksgiving prociama-

Rogers intends engaging in the real
estate business in the near future, or
possibly entering the employ Of one OF
the trans-continental railroads as imml-
grafton agent. He managed to work
in several fairly reverent expressions,
but his known agnosticism, If not inf
deity, makes it easy for one to imagine
that he sees swear words between the
lines.

men of the United States navy are
American citizens and S5 per cent OF
