About the Bridge.

Mr.. L. d. McClintlc recently returned
from a trip OF some weeks to 81, Louis,
where he went to get estimates on the
cost Of building a bridge across the river
at this place. The gentlemen with whom
he conferred examined his plans and pro-
nounce them practical, and say the bridge
can BE- built for $4,000, and if the people
will give a bonus of $500 and take a
part of the stock, they have no hesitancy
In putting up the bridge.
1t seems probable that Mr.. McClintic
will be able to get his proposition in
tangible shape pretty soon, to present it
to the people. We know that Lexington
wants a bridge, and is willing to do .
good part by any substantial company
that will make US a clear business propo-
sitiOn.

Superintendent ID. Hardy, Of the Mis-.
souri, Pacific, has issued a new order,
which affects all passenger trains on that
road. Trains that leave Kansas City or
St. Louis behind time are now ouly
allowed to make up twenty minutes OF
the lost time between those two cities.
These trains could make up an hours
line between those points, but the new
rider prevents anything Of that kind.

Another War Predicted.

A special dispatch to the New York Herald
from London. under date of February %,
says that war between England and France IS
inevitable and the time for il viii be shortly
after the close of the International EXPOSE
ton. The press of the two countries have
been severe in criticisms, and one French
paper has been caricaturing Queen Victoria.
Added to this, the Duke Of Orleans has
writer the artist complimentary letter on
his work. Still further, Frence and English
interests have clashed in Northern Africa
The Herald's dispatch says the prospect OF
war between England aud France is rength-
ened by knowledge Of an understanding be-
tween the KAISER and Qleen, which leaves
Germany free action in Asia Minor in return
for England's free action in South Africa

Against the Banks.

The city of Baltimore has won its suit IN
the United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
against the national banks. The banks de-
clined TO pay higher rate than thirty cents
on the 500, the rate imposed by the state on
foreign stocks and securities. The United
States law provides that national bank stocks
shall not be taxed any higher than the lowest
rates imposed upon other stocks. The banks
commended that, as the state taxed foreign
stocks at only thirty cents on the 500 Tor
county. city and municipal purposes, national
bank stocks should be taxed at the same
rate. The law officers of the city held that
the stock should pay the regular city tax rate,
which was then 100 on the 500, or two per
cent, and the next year was S2.20. a test
case was made by the National Bank OF Bal
timore. The bank lost in the United States
Circuit Court in Baltimore, and took an ap
neal to the United States Circuit Court OF
Anneals and this court last Saturday decided
in favor of the city. The amount due the city
from the back taxes on bank stocks aggre-
gates over 1881, 200. and the taxpayers are
rejoicing over reduction in the tax rate to
about 81. 20 on the 500 for this year.
A tax of two per cent. on national bank
stocks in addition to the state and government
tax, seems pretty steep, bu thank stocks, at this
rate, are better investments than real estate.
Besides. there are FIVE or six thousand tenant
less buildings in Baltimore, from which no
income is received, but upon which taxes
have to be paid, insurance charges and repairs

mereus leaves granted TO introduce new bills

test WIS taken up, aud lengthy debate
followed on the printing of the testimony,
which was passed.
TUEsDAY-In the Senate new bills aud pc
titions we're presented, and bills favorably
reported. The Baltimore 81 gas bill was
taken up, and after considerable debate was
passed by.a vote of IA TO 3; three Senators
being absent.
In the House, numerous bills aad petitions
were presented and referred, favorable and
unfavorable reports made, aud hearing to
large delegations on the Sunday law, before
the Judiciary Committee. Speeches for and
against the passage of the bill were made. and
the bill was made the special order for Thurs

Committee on Finance. Ii had been report
ed unfavorahly some days ago, and q
special order Of the day. In explanation Of
his motion Mr.. Bryan stated that it was bis
intention to offer amendments to make the
provisions OF the bill applicable to 81 com.
ties of the state as well as Baltimore city.
Senators Crothers. Chairman Of the Finance
Committee. objected to the bill, sad gave
some strong reasons why the law should re-
main as it Is.
In the House, large amount Of work was
transacted. Speaker Wilkinson warned the
members that business is accommodating, and
that there are more bills on the files than
there have been ataRy time this session. The
occasion for the warning was after a motion
10 take recess until eight Q clock Wednesday
evening had been defeated. The Speaker
was anxious to have the evening sessions con
tinue motion 20 adjourn until twelve
o clock tomorrow prevailed. The truth Is
that business has accumulated because OF the
Of some Of the members. The
Committee on Rules has tackled the dilema
BY adopting "a rule to be submitted 20 the
House, limiting each member 10 1--WE minutes
IN debating any proposition before the House.
