The extraordinary slimness OF the

of the conduct of tine South African
war, in the course of which he had de-
nounced the burning of farms and the

These charges created u general uproar
and provoked an angry demand from

COMMENTS OF THE DAY.
The Adams Tax Decision.
1rom the Daily Republican,.

From the Daily Republican.
The Court has declared that the .Adnms
Tax Law was unconstitutional, which
means a big loss in revenue to the cotln-
ty, State and city. Chief Justice Lore
read the opinion Judge Boycc dissenting.
This is tho result of action in lsstlmpsit
brought by the Equitable Guarantee and
rrhst Comupny, the plaintiff, TO recover
from John II. Donahoe. collector OF taxes
for the northern district Of Wilmington.
the defendant, for certain taxes assessed
and collected in 1898 and 1883 against me
plaintiff under the provisions of chapter
3S1. volume 20 of the Laws of Delaware,
passed May 2ath, 1897, entitled An act
to equalize taxation for state and county
purposes" and under the provisions OF
chapter "a. volume n of the Laws ot
Delaware. approved May 25th. 1898. EMIT
led an act to amend chapter ISL. volume
20 Of the Laws of Delaware entitled AN
act to equalize taxation for State and
county purposes" which said taxes were
paid by the plaintiff. Thus those WIZ
own MOI tgagcs and other securities gel
off without having to contribute one dol
lar to run the city or county government
all the burden being put on real estate
which is not right. II is time real estate
owners asserted themselves i'll politics
and elected men who would relieve thu
real estate of this city from some of it,
burdens. Evidently the whole idea is Il
wiring every dollar possible from real cs
tate and let every other Investment ant
franchise off without paying one dolIa
tribute to RIM our city and county GOV
crnment. Wilmington is behind in IL
plan to raise revenue to run the city GOV
