National Volunteer Reserve.

Mr.. George B. Kerfoot has re-
ceived communication addressed
to the Mayor of Elkton, announcing
that an organization known as The
National Volunteer Reserve is
being effected, and requesting him
to take steps to enroll the citizens
of this community.
The organization is intended to
be permanent and has for its object
the creation of a strong military
reserve other than the National
Guard, upon which the President
may call at any time. At the same
time it is intended to form a mil
itary brotherhood that will unite
more firmly than ever the sections
of our country.
1t is claimed that the movement
has already, although but two
weeks old, assumed gigantic pro,
portions, and that it's committee
includes all the living Generals on
both sides of the late war.
The above bit of Elkton news
has more significance than appears
on its face. 1t has been the aim of
a certain aristocratic class that is
growing up in this country, which
class grows steadily out of the
monopolies and special privileged
lines of business where immense
capital is concentrating. to create a
standing army of large proportions
that will oe in immediate command
of the President, who can order
this new standing army at his
pleasure.
1t should be remembered that
the President of this, assuming to
be, plain republic of ours has more
power placed in his hands than any
monarch of Europe except the Gar,
and that our latter day Presidents
are steadily stretching their not
very well defined prerogative and
usurping power that was never
intended they should exercise. The
time seems now to offer good Op-
pOrtunity to take an advanced step
in forming this new standing army
which is to assume the character of
a military brotherhood, with our
plain democratic President as its
head. AS near as conditions and
the state of society will admi of,
this new military order resembles
the Pretorian guard of Rome, which
ended its usefulness by setting up
and selling at auction the Czarship
of the empire to the highist bidder.
This new military brotherhood
would have its parades, its encamp-
ments, its arsenals, its tinseled and
bedizzened officers and its military
dignitaries as the Nepolianic era of
France had, to set the pace in the
social and fashionable class and
turn the pruning hooks and pillow
shares of the plain democratic
republic to swords and spears of
aristocracy and monarchy.

County Treasurer Drennen last
week turned over to Sheriff Conoly,
for collection, unpaid taxes amount
ing to $4,000. In this amount is
included greater part of the taxes
charged against national banks in
Baltimore city and other parts of
Maryland. The banks refuse to
pay the full county tax rate, claim
ing that they should not pay but
30 cents on the 800. The taxes
collected on dogs during the past
year have been very small, and
from year to year is gradually
growing smaller.
That is characteristic of banks
and moneyed institutions generally.
They beat the State and county on
the basis of assessment and then
beat them on the tax rate, and are
exempt on all their government
bonds. They have no property
that ought to be taxed but their
safe, ink bottles, stools and desks,
and Secretary Gage wants to issue
currency based on them.
That the dog tax is not collected
is the fault of the County Commits
sioners. AS the dog tax decreases
the dogs increase.
