Notwithstanding the prediction by many
farmers of an early spring, 1t Is not yet re-
allied. The earth is yet white, cold Is in
the air, and frost flowers are still blossom.
ing, the pages of Winter are still unturned
and yet the gymnastics OF the ground hog
purtend that early spring is at hand.
In common with other places our sick
last is greater than other years at this
time.
Mr.. Wait Philips boy John, has an at
tack OF pneumonia. Dr. A. B. Harris at
tending, and lie is doing well.
Miss Annie Clough has returned from
Johustown Pa, and Is now stopping at
her parents home, Mr.. and Mrs. Clough.
Mr.. Sam McCracken hurt his hand the
other day, but is now back at work In the
paper mill.
Mrs. Charles Green has been i'll for some
tlmo back, but has now fairly recovered.
Mr., Charles Green is known as our
great political worker. If Delaware ever
gets Republican governor, that man
should be Chus Green. He knows more
about law and politics than any other
uan-not professioual-we have known.
Politics is his first subject in the morning,
and the last at night.
If every christian would do the mission-
ary work for the church that Mr.. Charles
Green of Rockland fortunately does for
the cause OF Republicanism the millinium
would be here. The personal sacrifice is
made from choice, and the labor he has
given to the cause merits high place
among politicians. both Mr.. Buck and
Ewing are Republicans and conduct the
leading stores here and yet which shall
have the Post Office? that is the question:
Its present location, at Mr.. Bucks, would
certainly be more convenient to the resi-
dents here.
1t is II future question whether parti'
sunship or the convenience Of the people,
and of the extensive mills here shall TO-
eide the future location OF Rockland Post
Office.

ASSEMBLY may provide for gradua.
"ted tax on incomes, and for a grad
"uated license on occupations and
"business."
The lawyer in the house is clearly
right in his contention. The license
"must be graduated" as the tax on in.
comes is graduated. The constitution
does not warrant the imposition of any
other than a graduated license, and
the legislature is bound by its terms.
A rigid license which applies to all "oc-
cupations" and "business" without re-
gard TO their character or the returns
from them would be illegal and void,
ipso facto, and it is. beyond the power
of the general assembly to make it le-
gal and effective. The objection is
plainly fatal to the scheme.
The first clause of the same section
of the constitution, it may be noted,
requires that the general assembly
shall provide by law for uniform
and equal rate of taxation of all prop
erty." The lawyers in that body
might do we'll to consider also wheth.
er the proposed provision for an in.
come tax, which in effect exempts from
taxation all property" on incomes be-
low a certain amount, will stand the
test of the constitutional requirement.
We do not think that it will. 1t pro-
vides for neither "uniform" nor an
"equal" rate of taxation within its
special field.
