Plea Ter Equal Taxation.

The cOmlng legislature should amend the revenue laws of the terri tory, 80 AS to make the burden of maintaining the territorial govern ment bear equally on all. Those who are worth thelr miIions and whose in- comes arc from one to twelve millions annually, from properties situated iu the territory, can Oetf CT afford to pay their just proportion of taxes than Jue mall who owns only few acres of land, or a few head of stock, and are barely able to keep body and soul to- gether by working from twelve to fourteen hours day and prdcGIciug tho severest economy Equdlize Jhe onerous burden oi taxation. Make the rich and the poor pay their jusS proportion.- -Wlnsiow Nal

Mckirlsy's Second Administration
 10 be Independent.

Signs multiply that the coming ad- mlnistration oi President Mckinley will be Mckinley administration in every sense, That Is to say, the presi- dent, realizing chat he has had all the ponticai honors that can come to him, will hereafter do what he wants .o do rather than what other people want him to do.
 This does not of course, mean that the presldens will turn his back on the friends who have stood by him 80 loy- aly Gn the past but that he will not Do ss much influenced oy their advice as he Was when there was a second term at stake.
 That he has taken the reinS firmly ia his own hands was shown by ms protest against the scheme of some of the republican leaders uo reduce the congressional representation of the south.
 This plan was favored by many of the men who have been the intimate advisers or the president, but he made 50 emphatic protest that the ides has been abandoned.
 Another eviuence of Mir. Mckinley . independence is his attitude on the Hay faunceiorte treaty, which Is one uf Gls tavorite measures. He UhinKs the Nicaragua canal should not be buiiu without the treaty, and 1t IS saia Dy men Ill position to know that if the Aepourn DIu, winch provides for canal without treaty, Is passed he wlli veto il,
 In the matter of appointments, MT. Mckinley has determined to Dc inde- pendent also. lie VIII t.ike care of hls friends whenever the opportunity ut. Iers, out not of the mere friends of politicians. His personal favorites- men ike Charles C., Dawes get the especially luscious plums.
 There has oeen some talk Of an ex- ecutlye order taking large number or places from under the civIl service | law, out Lhis has not been determined on fully.
 lC Is Mr. Mckinley's ambition to have his second administration go | down to history ss conservative. lie | Is preachIn. conservatism to every part, ieauer who calls on nim. He . does not want the re puoiicans, Decause | or their overwhelming victory, to un- aertake IegtsiaIlon that Is extremely . partisan, and he Is saying so on every | occasion that presents Itself. .

Thirty Years A Conductor.

Capt. Thornton Wright, of Union Bridge,
began his thirty-frst year this month in the
service of the Western Maryland Railroad
Company. During his thirty years service
he has travelled over one million eight hun
dred thousand miles-equal 10 seventy-two
times around the world. A short time after
he went with the road, Capt. Wright was sent
to run the train on the diminishing division,
and the only accident of consequence that hap
pened to him occurred then. He was con
ductor and brakeman, too. One day he was
on a box car and observed bridge some dis
lance away. When the train neared the
bridge his attention was attracted by some
thing, and the top of his head struck
the bridge The scalp was knocked
off from the forehead to the crown and the
Captain fell down between the cars. As he
fell his heels knocked panel out of q car
door, and this attracted the attention of the
passengers, among whom were two physi-
clans, one being DR.. Amman, of Emmittsburg.
They went to him and carried him into the
car, sewed the scalp to its proper position and
revived hun. Captain Wright had narrow
escape from death. The scalp wound and the
injuries to the body in the fall were quite Sc
vere but had be fallen on the track his career
on the railroad would have ended. In time
he recovered, and lived to become one of the
most polite and accommodating, as well as
the oldest conductor, in point of service, on
the road Aud he looks, too, as if he is good
for twenty years more. The only other acci-
dent was slight pinch of finger in coupling

The following poem, composed by Rev. W..
J. Meeks for the occasion, was read at the
conclusion of dinner:
"Graye authors say, and poets sing,
That honest wedlock's a glorious thing;"
Full fifty years this happy pair,
Have proved this truth, so rich and rare.
A half century spent together,
In wedlock's fowery dell;
Sharing each, in every weather,
Life's great burdens borne so well.
Full fifty years together they
Have striven the sacred VOWS to keep;
As step by step in Bymen's way,
They mounted up life's rugged steep.
Yes, fifty years of married life,
Golden years of welded bliss;
Fifty years as man and wife,
Sanctified with loves sweet-kiss.
Upon this golden summit height,
This honored bride and groom
Stand crowned with loves most radiant light,
Midst flowers of sweet perfume.
As with the eye of faith they cast
A look beyond the skies;
Beyond the reach of storm and blast,
Where friendship never dies.
Then hail to the bride of fifty years,
Aud a groom of noble turn;
May Grace divine dispel all fears,
While the lamp Of life shall burn.
