The Tome Institute Tax.

Mr.. w. w. Hopkins, treasurer
of Jacob Tome Institute, appeared
before the County Commissioners
at their last meeting and, while he
paid the State tax, refused to pay
the county tax, claiming that the
bill passed by the Legislature at its
last session exempts the Institute
from taxes levied or assessed or to
be levied or assessed.
The County Commissioners hold
that the taxes in question were
levied before the passage of this
bill and were due in August last,
and that the county levy was made
upon a basis including this tax.
The bill as passed does not exempt
from State taxation, notwithstand-
ing the original bill presented ex
empted the Institute from State,
county and municipal taxation, but
it was not passed until the clause
exempting the Institute from State
taxes was stricken out.
All taxes not paid by April LIST
are turned over to the Sheriff, and
it is probable that law suit will
be the result.
On the subject of the tax which
the treasurer of the Institute re-
fused to pay the Port Deposit Press
has the following to say:
'"The county taxes are likely to
be placed in the hand of the sheriff,
for collection, and this done, a legal
battle will be the outcome to test
the legality of the act. The county
commissioners hold that the taxes
in question were levied before the
passage of this bill and were due in
August last, and that the county
levy was made upon basis includ-
ing this tax. The bill as passed
does not exempt from State taxa
ton, Notwithstanding the original
bill presented exempted the insti-
tute from State, county and munic-
ipal taxation, but it was not passed
until the clause eXempting the in
stitute from State taxes was stricken
out. The exemption of this insti-
tute from county taxes will figure
largely in the make up of the COM
ing levy, and as the residue of the
Jacob Tome estate goes to the insti
tuition, making in all about $3,O00,-
600 of private securities, a greater
portion of which was paid upon
this year by Mr.. Tome, the county
will lose in all within the next two
years about $4,000 in taxes

The possible danger in giving the
President carte blanc as he request
ed in Cuban affairs, and of adopt
ing the resolutions that first passed
the House under the Reed whip, is
pointed out by j. NJ. Bachelor in
the Philadelphia Item
"Because, under it, (the message)
the Lombard street bondholds and
other European bondholders may,
by its means, organize govern
ment on Cuban soil which would
defeat the ends and aims of the
Cuban Republic now existing.
"Under it, Cuban Government
might be formed recognizing the
validity of the Spanish Cuban
bonds, and obliging the starving
Cubans to a sumo load of money
obligations without parallel in the
worlds history, and which would
defeat the independence of Cuba at
the outset"

rlcKinley, the rIan of Action.

Mckinley, the man of diplomacy,
was as cinder in the eye of the
American people. But Mckinley,
the man of action, begins we'll.
He has signed the war resolu-
tons of Congress, sent his ultima
tum to Spain and given her notice
to take down her flag in Cuba or
suffer the pain and indignity of
being elected by force within a
specified time. The Spanish Min
lister has asked for his passports
and received them, and we are at
last on the very verge of war that
should have been fought and won
two years ago.
The President has acted prompt
ly and decisively. Mckinley the
politician, the temporizer, has dis
appeared, let us hope for the entire
period of the struggle that is upon
us. Mckinley the soldier is at the
front, an aroused nation rejoices
in the change. This late coming
tirmness justifies the expectation
that we are enduring the last week
of peace, of tolerated murder by
wholesale in Cuba under the name
of war.
1t is beyond doubt that Spain,
overmatched as she is in every re-
spect, will yet strike a blow in de-
fence of her toully misused sover-
eighty and for the sake of the
shadow Of her fortified honor.
Therefore war is at hand.
1t augurs well for the conduct of
the conflict that the President has
shaken off the bad advisers who
shackled his will and the hesita-
ton that impaired confidence in
his backbone and Judgment, and
has thrown down the gage to Spain
with manly bOldness.-New York

There is a growing tendency,
more and more, in each President
who is elected to demand increased
powers for the Executive Depart
ment. During the last administra-
ton of Cleveland, he commended that
the Executive had equal power
with Congress to recognize the bel
llgerency of State in rebellion.
President Mckinley goes MIR. Cleve-
land one better, and now claims
that it is the Executives sole power,
and that Congress has nothing to
do with it. These requests for I'M
constitutional rights are but nails
IN the coffin of liberty, and unless
they are repressed some ambitious
Executive will wipe out constitu-
tional liberty and assume dicta-
torial, tyrannical and monarchial

Hard on Doctors, Lawyers and
Preachers,

The following is synopsis of Mr..
w. T. Warburton's address before
the teachers institute.
Mr.. Warburton in his address
confined his remarks to the prac-
teal side of life, trying to impress
upon the teachers what is necessary
to be taught to child outside of
the leaves of the text books. One
of the arguments was that educa-
ton should not be the same for all
children. Nature has made dis
tinction in the bestowal of abilities
and practical education should rec
Ognize that distinction and the
child should be fitted for the career
pointed out by nature and indi.
Gated by the child's inclination to
certain fields of study. Showing
the application of this argument,
Mr.. Warburton said: "Humnity in
this world would be an irresistible
aggregation fer good if every unit
thereof was in its right place."
There are thousands annually
brought to untimely graves by
doctors who should have been
wood choppers. Thousands of dol
lars are annually lost to clients by
incompetent lawyers, while tens of
thousands absent themselves from
church every Sabbath day because
of insipid, stupid preachers.
The speech throughout abounded
in practical suggestions to the
teachers along the lines covered by
his arguments.
Mr.. Warburton, it will be OBJ
served, treated only the misfits of
society. There is an underlying
influence far more potent for evil
and largely the cause of those mis-
fits, than the misfits so undiplo-
matically pointed at; namely, the
want of opportunity. There is a
whole volume awaiting the orator
hidden in this unmentiOned causa
of unhappiness suffered by the
human family.

He did not notice box car on an
adjoining track, fell into it and was
painfully wounded about the head.
An investigation showed that there
was nothing on the track ahead of
the train. The authorities are look
