No single Tax Nonsense in Delaware


The Constitutional Convention, on
Tuesday, by decisive vote, adopted u
provision for tho proposed now Consti.
tuition that will, if adhered to, put n
stop TO the attempt to impose tho land
confiRcating schono OF the Single Tax
advocates upon tho people Of Delaware.
Tho section adopted directs that uascss-
monta of real estate for tho purposes OF
taxation shall be upon the value of tho
land and all buildings and improve.
menGs thereon, tho Same as at present.
Tho existing system has proved its
fairness after many yoars Of operation,
and there is no necessity for change.
particularly the radical departure adj
vocated by tho Single Takers. In ad.
dition, the people havo already OK.
pressed their opinion upon tho queq.
tion. There was Single Tax ticket In
the field at tho last election. and despite
the very plausible and attractive argu-
ments put forth by its advocates, il
received less than thousand votos in
a total poll of over forty thousand.
Tho Constitutional Convention is
right, therefore, in moving TO place
this feature Of thu taxing system beyond
the reach of Legislative agitation for
years to como, by making il matter
OF Fundamental law.

The answer of Grooco TO the great
Powers OF Europe. with reference to the
latter's declaration as TO Grecian oecu-
patton of Crete, ia decidedly diplo-
matte. It Opens the way to settle.
ment OF pondipg Issues without resort
to war, Or. IL war be forced. Greeee'will
have placed the Powers 10 the position
Of sacrificing everything TO protect
Turkey from attack by any one coun-
try, and thus opening to all the great
nations Of Europe the temptation to
fall upon the temporarily endangered
raimont Of the "sick man Of Europe"
for division among themselves
Greece's anewer Is exceedingly brief
for diplomatic document referring to
such grave issue, but it covers the
situation completely. Particularly
effective is its summing up. in the fol-
lowing concise paragraphs, which prar-
| tically serve the functions of an ultima
tum:
Our duty specially forbids US to
abandon the Cretan people TO the mercy
of Mussulman fanuticisrn and the Turk.
ish army, which at all timos has DELHI
| erately and Intentionally participated
| 10 the aggressive acts of tine populace
against tho Christians. Above all, If
our troops on the island, who are
worthy Of all the confidence of the
| Powers, l1ave received mandate to
pacify the country, their desires and
intentions would have received
promptly the most perfect satisfaction.
1t would be then after the re-estab-
lishment Of order that it would be pos
able TO loarn the desires freely OK
pressed of the Cretan people for de-
oision as to their fate.
| Tho sorrows which have REQUIRED reg
ularly in Crete for many decades past
not only do not occur without pro
foundry agitatingl the Hellenic people,
but they also interrupt social activity
and gravely disturb tho economy anu
finances of tho State.
Even il we admit that it would be
possible to forget for an instant that we
1 share the common religion of the
Cretan people, that We are OF the same
! race and bound 10y tics OF blood. We
could not in silence allow the Powers
| to assume that the Greek State is able
! aug lpbSSi w lSbiHt huCl bHuUhSs
| For this reason we appeal to tho gen.
erous sentiments animating the Powers,
and beg them to permit the Cretan
peupIe themselves 10 declare how they
desire TO be governed.
This is, in effect, demand that the
armed forces of Creece-which, a dis.
patch states, GREECE will permit TO be
commanded by foreign oificer-shall
be permitted TO preserve order in Crete
until the people OF that island vote
upon tho question of annexing their
territory to tho domain of Greece. OF
course, there is no doubt what the de-
cision Of such vote would bs.
There is force and sound argument
in this claim that the people of Crete
should have voics in determining
their political salvation. Greoce's an
ever has put tho Powers to thinking,
and there ia probability that in this
battle Of diplomats she may come out
victorious in the end, without the
firing OF Il hostile shot.

held at horticultural Hall to day. The
principal business was the adoption oi

inent OF committee to nominate q

to be voted for on March 23u. In view
OF tho death Of the late president,
Geo &c b. Roberts, and the many
changes which have been made IN the

quence, the meeting was looked forward
to with interest by the stockholders,
and tho attendance was proportionately
large.
The meeting lasted only 20 minutes.
Gen. Louis Wagner of this city was
chosen to preside.
The resolutions on the lenth Of Mr.
Roberts, adopted by the board OF direc.
tors last month, were unanimously
readopted. President Frank Thomson
delivered brief address eulogistic oil

Ilo said the strong trait of his charac.
tor was his devotion to duty. lie had
served the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
faithfully for more than 30 years and in
all his positions displayed ability
second to that OF no man.
The usual committee to elect board
OF directorH was chosen, aud the meeting
adjourned. The present board will un.
doubtedly be reelected.

Ex-President Cleveland.

After serving two terms as President
Of tho United States, and standing
thrice before the people as candidate
for this high Office, Grover Cleveland
Thursday retired from public office and
became once moro a private citizon.
MrS Cleveland will 60 into history aa
q President who was made target for
tho most malignant abuse and mis-
representation at the hands OF partisan
and personal enemies. But history
will also record that TO no other Prosi
dent, with the exception of George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln,
was accorded 10 greater degree the
respect and confidence OF the plain
people.
Mr.. Cleveland assumed the duties Of
the Presidency with tho idea--now 30
completely ignored by modern political
ethics-that pledges made to tho people
during the campaigns that resulted in
his election should be respected with
religious fidelity. II was this infexiblC
purpose to keep faith with tho people
and redeem every promise made Ia
them on his behalf by the political
party by which he was placed in nomi.
nation thst made him the target oil
partisan hatred, but at tho same time
strengthened his hold upon the con.
fidence and affection of those whose
votes had twice made him the chief
executive of tho nation.
1t is no misuse Of terms, or more OK
preston OF fulsome admiration, to say
that Grover Cleveland will tako rank
in history as one Of the really groat

Pres,dsns mckinney.

Thursday at noon. William Mckinley
OF Ohio, In the presence of assembled
thousands at the Capitol in Washing.
ton. took tho solemn oath OF President
of the United States.
1t Is not possible to predict at the
outset, with any dogreo of accuracy,
what the administration Of q President
will prove TO be, but IL ever an ad.
ministration opened with the essential
elements OF SUCCESS, Pre1ident Mokin-
ley's does. lie was elected by one of
the largest pluralities of the popular
vote ever received by candidate for
the Presidency, and this plurality was
swolle6 By the votes of thousands OF
his political opponents to say nothing
OF thousan,is of others who indirectly
aided In bis election by voting for 40
independent nominee.
These Independent voters thus aided
in the election Of President Mckinley
because they inistrusted tho candidates
and platform of their own political
party and desmed it their duty as
patriotic citizens TO cast party behind
them aud vote for what they conceived
TO be the bost interests of the country.
And in shaping the policy OF his
administration President Mckinley
should show sons measure of con-
siderction for this large independent
vote,' without which his election would
not have been possible.
Many grave and perplexing problems
will doubtless confront President Me-
kinley from the very outset OF his adj
ministration. But If no will advocate
and labor for reform OF our currency
system, for the maintenance of the
gold standard, 70. freedom from yeya-
tious tariff disturbances, for economy
on tho part OF Congress, and for an
| avoidance of troubles or entangling
alliances with foreign nations, he will
largely justify his election, no matter
what else he may stand for or whether
his efforts shall be sustained or
thwarted by his party's representa-
tives in Congress-
President Mckinley has a great OPP.
portunits before him, and thousands
OF his fellow citizens earnestly hope he
will rightly avail himself of it.

1t has long been recognized that in
situations devoted to religious, re-.
formative and elesmosynary purposes
generally should be exempt from any
burdens of taxation. 1t is admitted
that their functions are public; that
they are conducted for tho public good
and not for private gain that their
aim is the general benoiit Of society,
the botterment of humun conditions
and the amelioration of human suffer
ing, Therefore it is, and very rightly,
that they are exempt from taxation
and IN many instances made the bene-
tiriurics Of contributions from the
public purse.
This question of tax exemption was
brought up in the Constitutional Con
veution Monday, and developed an in
teresting discussion, which will be
found in our convention correspondence,
Tho point was raised that it would be
well to leave tho matter almost ex-
cluaively to tho Legislature, but tho
majority very properly dissontcd from
this proposition. Such referonre, it
was held, might npon tho way to
fayoritism, by which one institution
would secure tax exemption, and
another, equally worthy, bu compelled
to make payment.
In this matter tho Constitution
should declare, clearly and unoquivo.
cally, just VIVA: clasa and character
of institutions should he thus exempt
from public taxation. Then the Gen.
nral Assembly would have no trouble
in naming them specifically in tho sub.
sequent legislation. Only through tho
adoption of this plan by the Constitu.
tional Convention can diacord and COZ
tontion in the future be avoided.
