CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
winter have passed what are called IAN
THRUST" laws but in every case so far
as noticed, they appear to operate against
the insurance companies only, and
whether the insurance companies form a
trust or not, they are not popularity re-
garded in that light. Il would be inter
esting to know the real secret of this sud-
den legislative attack upon them, in which
the executives of the states concerned APP
pear TO join. There is some popular dis
satisfaction with the usual insurance
rates. but so there is with the eXactions
OF other and better so-called trusts, which
do not seem to have incurred legislative
enmity."
The Baltimore Sun Dem.) says:
Speaker Reed, it is positively stated, will
not be speaker in the next Congress, but
will leave public life to join law firm in
New York on a guaranteed income of $780,
600 a year. His relations with the Nc
Kinley administration were not good and
he retires it seems. largely because of
that fact. He was opposed to the reck-
less expansion policy of the administration
and to a number of expensive legislative
Of Pennsylvania avenue His retirement
will accordingly be regretted as not being
wholly in the public interest. In weaker
hands the House may cease to be the con-
servative branch OF Congress"
The defeat of ex-senator Quay for re-
election is giving many Republican news
papers a good deal of satisfaction. The
Baltimore American says: Senator Quay
has tried TO force his reelection against
the majority sentiment and verdict of
the people OF Pennsylvania. IL Is a mat
Ter OF oongratulation that he has failed.
But In failing he has left record that
makes the election OF United States sena-
tors by popular vote a contamination de-
voutly 10 be wished. the pity ~ that
such a great state should be go tied up
by che ambitions and performances Of one
man."

CANNOT CANCEL TAKES.
The District Commissioners Have n
Authority to Do So.

An opinion of great interest to persons
purchasing property at tax sales, which is
discovered to have accumulated ether taxes
than those paid by the purchaser, was sub
mitted to the Commissioners yesterday by
the Attorney for the District. The case
which was presented to him for an opinion
| involved the payment of taxes long in ar
rears, and was submitted to the Commits
sioners by Hallam & Hallam, acting as at
torneys for c. T. Bride.
Ii appears that Mr.. Bride purchased a
lot at a tax sale in April, 1897, for taxes
for the year 1896, and that on October 1S,
1899. he received a tax deed therefor which
has been duly recorded.
The Assessor has recently issued to him
a tax certificate showing that there are
unpaid general taxes against the lot ex-
tending from 1876 10 1895, and also spe-
cial assessment for the improvement of
Third Street, made in 1877 which was
quashed by certiorari proceedings and re-
assessed June H. 1897; also water main
tax, assessed June 80, 1894.
Under the decision of the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia all taxes prior
TO the tax sale are extinguisned by the ex-
ecution and delivery of the tax deed The
Commissioners have uniformly declined TO
cancel such antecedent taxes except in ac-
cOrdanCe WIN decree Ol tue COul l. dI-
Judging the record and lien of such taxes
as a cloud upon the title of the holder of
the tax deed or his grantee
Very many bills in equity have been
filed for the purpose of canceling taxes
under these circumstances, and with two
exceptions, the decree has been without
costs. The Commissioners are without
/ authority TO cancel taxes, and there is no
representative of the municipality who is
! authorized so to do. 1T does seem hard
! ship on the holder of tax deed" the at
torney stated, Ito require him to file his
! bill in equity, and the Commissioners ought
| to be authorized to cancel upon the record
such taxes as the court would by its de-
! cree require them to cancel; and Congress
| should, in my judgment no longer with
+ hold this authority from the Commission
| ers. But under all the circumstances and
! in the present condition of the conflicting
| adjudications on the subject by our
/ courts and until the matter of liability for
! costs is finally and uniformly settled, the
request for the Commissioners to cancel
taxes should be refused by them as hereto
| fore"

ART GALLERY TAXES.
Property of the Corcoran Institution
Held to BE Exempt.

The assessor of the District has written
to the Commissioners explaining a clause
in a published report of the Auditor relat-
ing TO the refund of certain taxes on the
Corcoran Art Gallery. The reason why the
refund was not made at the time Of the
first application was on account OF a mis-
understanding between the Offices OF the
assessor and the auditor The auditor in
his report stated that the papers which
We're addressed to the assessor instead of
to him were not forwarded to the Commis-
sioners or notified him of their contents.
Assessor Trimble stated yesterday that
the letter of the curator Of the gallery,
with the other papers in his possession,
were forwarded to the Commissioners four
days after their receipt in his office, in
April OF this year, and that on the strength
Of his report on the matter the Commis-
sioners issued the order directing that the

JUDGE CHAMBERS RESIGNS.
SHmoa's Chief Justice VIII Not Re

W R. Chambers, Chief Justice Of Samoa.
has rendered his resignation, and it has
been accepted by the United States, to take
effect Friday, the date on which his leave OF
absence expired. He has also rendered
his resignation to Germany and Great Brit
ain, the other powers concerned, and it will
undoubtedly be accepted
The resignation of Judge Chambers is
understood to be due to a belief on his
part that no good could come OF his return
TO Samoa in an official capacity, and not
to the fact that the tripartite powers have
agreed TO partition the islands among
themselves. Judge Chambers served at
Apia during the Toublous period Of the
Mataafa rebellion early this year, and was
antagonized by the German element and
Mataafa's followers on account Of his de-
cision that Malietoa Tanu was the right
