This world is full of trouble.
You viii notice as you go
That some very little matters
Cause a serious weight of woA.
And since a song Of sorrow
Now must occupy the muse,
Here's q simple salutation
To the man with squeaky shoes
He Is very hard to lose;
The small boy he'll amusa.
He treads the aisle
With placid smile,
The man with squeaky shoes-
The minister Ia puzzled
And he quite forgets the text,
And the breathless congregation
Wonders what will happen next
There L. nervous agitation;
Faces turn to various hues.
He's the only one that's happy
Is the man with squeaky shoes
He gives every one the blues
As his journey he pursues
With steady stride.
Self-satisfied.
The man with sQueaky shoes.

The GarrOting in Porto Rico.

Garroang may not be an American insti-
tuition but we incline to the belief that the
execution of the five men at Ponce Saturday
morning was thoroughly deserved by the
victims Of the occasion. The publicity at
tached to it was repulsive. and for this
reason perhaps, 1t was too closely allied to
executions of an earlier century. However,
1t was necessary to set an example, in order
ment Is unfortunately a necessity in the
world. Without 1t the number Of murders
would increase ten-fold. 1t rs essential that
men Of violent temper should have a coun-
teracting influence. The remembrance of
what has happened to men who have killed
is the preventive check on murder. With
out capital punishment dangerous charac-
ters would have little to fear. Therefore
We regard thesa executions as necessary to
the welfare Of the public

PartfsanshiD and the Naval Bill.

There Is some disposition shown to oppose
the navy bill on partisan lines; but It rs to
be hoped that this will not be done, as the
sentiment OF the country Is practically
unanimous In favor of a stronger navy. For
many years past army and navy problems
and appropriations have been debated and
adopted without regard to party lines, such
matters being by general consent eliminated
from the field of politics. 1t would be un-
fortunate II naval matters were drawn iflto
politics. as the work Of building up the fleet
would thereby be seriously hampered, and
the navy Itself injured dn popular estima-
ton.

ton Day and as such will be fully observed

Crops About Castleton.

CAsrLEToN, May 2s.-Corn planting is nearly
finished. There are few farmers who are late.
Last year some corn was planted as late at the
middle of June, the continued dry weather
kept it back and the early September frosts
injured both grain and fodder. As q rule
planting will be completed early this year. A
number of Gamers are setting out tomatoes.
Grass is very short and hay will very probably
be scarce and dear. The pears and peaches
give promise now of abundant crops, while
Strawberries are plentiful. Nr. j. H. Pyle
counted 100 blossoms and berries on one plant.

iy dry,
The cut worms are doing q great deal Of

NIGHTS foster their growth, and we hope the sun
viii soon shine warm enough to exterminate
then.
The paper mills have resumed operations.
They manage to keep machines running by
having their pulp shipped from other points
until their own mills are rebuilt. Tho mill
which was lately destroyed by FIRE Is rapidly
being reconstructed The insurance upon the
burned building and its contents amounted to
about $4,000, which will greatly aid in re-
building. GREY.

Removed to baltimore City.

On Wednesday States Attorney James W.
McNabb and Assistant j. Thomas c. Hopkins
filed in Court an affidavit in the case of VII
liam Black, charged with rape, stating that
the State could rot have q fair and impartial
trial in tdis Court, and asking It's removal to
another tribunal. The Court Immediately
passed au order to transmit the record in the
case to the Criminal Court CT Baltimore City.
This closes Inc case go far as the Hartford
County Court has any jurisdiction. The
record has been made out ard mailed, and the
case viii soon be fixed for trial. The Judge,
by his action, indicated that the arrsigument
will not take place In this county, so Black
will not be brought here until execution.
In view OF the intense feeling, this action on
the part OF the State officers was deemed wise,
as the negro would have doubtless been lynch
ed ss soon as he set foot in the county. We
now hope that there will be no delay in the
trial. as prompt and swift justice in these cases
will, in considerable degree, serve to allay
public feeling

Non-Resident Mortgage. Hot taxable.

The Circuit Court for Hartford county has
just rendered an important decision which
affects the taxation Of mortgages throughout
the State. The treasurer Of Hartford county,
Mr.. E. NJ. Allen, Jr., brought suit against the
National Bank of Camden, N. j., for taxes on
mortgages on property in that county. The
Court decided that the tax could not be levied
against nonresident; that mortgage 10 per-
sonel property, and was only taxable at the
domicile of the owner, and that the law levy
Ing the tax was unconstitutional, so far as nom
residents are concerned, the State having no
extra-territorial Jurisdiction on the subject Of
taxation.
Attorney General Rayner was asked % to
the effect Of this decision on taxation OF mort
cages throughout the State, and whether an
appeal to the higher from the lower Court
would be taken. He replied: 81 have just
been informed of the decision by the State
Comptroller. The Supreme Court Of the
United States, some time ago, decided that
the State of Pennsylvania had no right to pass
a law taxing bonds of a railroad company held
by non-residents and compelling the railroad
companies Of the State to deduct the taxes
from the coupons. have no doubt but that
it was upon this decision that Judge Waters,
ofthe Hartford County Circuit Court, rendered
his opinion. Four Judges OF the United
States Supreme Court, in the case In question,
d!ssented from the opinion Of the maj ority.
1.-THE tax under our mortgage law presents
somewhat different features from those which
arose in this case. 1t is an important ques-
lion, and am examining the matter now and
am considering the propriety of taking an ap-
peal"
One effect of the decision of the Hartford
County Court is that residents may execute
mortgages in the meme Of non-resients, ac-
cept notes from the latter, and IN this way
escape taxation. Such action would mean
loss Of over a hundred thousand dollars each
wear by the State.
