THE COUNTY TAX RATE.

The County Commissioners on Tues
day fixed the tax rate at S5 cents
on the one hundred dollars. The
rate for property in the city of Havre
de Grace and the towns of Bel Air
and Aberdeen will be sixty five cents.
The reason for this is because these
corporations are exempt from the
county road tax and in lieu thereof
keep their own streets in repair. The
State rate is seventeen cents and will
yield on a basis of $12, 524, SIS, the
sum Of sol ,291, rs, and in addition
thereto the amount to be ascertained
September 1st as the States pro-
portion upon interest of mortgages
to be collected within the year at the
rate of one fourth ofeight per centum
per annum on such interest. The
rate of eighty-ive cents outside of
Havre de Grace, Bel Air and Aberdeen
will yield $94,9s7.61 upon all pro-
perty. The three interpretations
above mentioned will contribute to
the county's exchequer the sum OF
$12,973.30. The stock ofMaryland
corporations will yield 1893. Upon
bonds and other evidences of debt at
the rate of thirty cents per hundred
dollars on a basis of $431, 1868 the
sum of $1294.OS will be collected.
The mortgage tax is estimated to
give an income of $2773.O1.

The reduction in the county tax
rate of three cents will be gratifying
news to the taxpayers. The Com
missioners were enabled to do this on
account of curtailment of expenses
and increase of the basis. One mat
ter that they had under considera-
ton we think, however, should have
been done. 1t would have added
forty-nine thousand dollars and thus
reduced the burden upon the other
contributors. We refer to the assess
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. This corporation has been
pampered by the State of Maryland
and every encouragement has been
offered to it in the way ola reduction
in taxation. This position by our
officials was tenable so long as it
was a Maryland enterprise. But
that day is now a matter of past
history. 1t is as able, and far more
soto stand its just proportion of
taxes than is the average farmer.
The Pennsylvania railroad pays a
tax of 500, 900 per mile and there is
no earthly reason why the Baltimore
and Ohio should not be raised from
$4,000 to the same rate per mile.
There is no difference either in road
beds or equipment-if anything, the
latter road is better than the former,
and therefore, we cannot see why the
Commissioners, if it is not too late,
should not increase the basis by
assessing this political corporation
somewhere near the amount it
should pay.
The Commissioners showed dis
erection in allowing the school board
the full amount asked for in
their memorial. Every one knows
that the money is spent in conscien-
tious manner and that the Commits
sioners who are large taxpayers
themselves, will not countenance the
waste of a dollar, but will continue
the school system on the same high
standard that it has been conducted
in the past. All that the average
taxpayer gets in return for his annual
contribution is through the schools
and roads. Both should be remem-
bered in as liberal manner as pos
sible. The condition of these two
important branches of our county
government is a good indication of
the progress of civilization that the
county has made.

THOSE REFORM LEAGUE JOKES.


1t is thought by many persons
that the Honorable Charles Jerome
Bonaparte and his associates in the
Reform League of Baltimore city
missed their calling when they did
not study to become professional
humorists. Certainly nothing could
be more excessively funny than the
TRADE they recorded against the
Democratic party at their annual
meeting in Baltimore last Tuesday
night. They condemned everything,
both generally and afterwards, par
ticularized each and every action, so
that thereby, their fnesse of the art
of wittieism might become more ap-
parent. Of course what they said
and did would lack an essential part
of entertainment if they did not pose
as Democrats and Independents.
There is where the laugh comes in.
Their calm egotism in claiming the
credit for all the good points in the
recent ballot law is enough to make
any lend man" as famous as Haverly
or Primrose. Another good joke
too, was the one they exploded about
the corruption of the Democratic
primaries that have recently been
held in Baltimore. They alleged that
it was simply a fight for faction SUI
premacy within the party. Ofcourse
it would have spoiled thejoke if any
one should have been indiscreet
enough to say a word about the recent
victory ofthe Stone faction in the Re-
publican primaries only n few weeks
ago.
The star performance of the even
ing, however, was when the Chief
Interlocuter who is sometimes vul-
carly known as "Soup House Char
ley" got off that ancient joke about
Senator German controlling the
Democratic party. The meeting
would not have been complete with
out it in fact; it would have been
''like the play of Hamlet, with Ham,
let left out" OF course everyone
keyed himself up to the highest pitch
in pleasant anticipation of what
they knew was to follow, and when
this ignoble scion ola Royal House
gritted his teeth in his characteristic
manner as he Missed his denunciation
of Maryland's former Senator, aided
by his good friend "Billy"Keyser, who
has turned reformer since he was re-
fused the nomination of Governor by
the regular organization, the tab
leaux was indeed complete.

An Exhibition of Fire Extinuuishjnu
Which Proved Failure,

Which Proved Failure.
An exhibition was billed to be given
Thursday night on Main street op-
posi,e the Kalispell hotel by a fire
eXtinguisher man, who advertised
chat he had the only dope" to put
out fire that ever happened He
GAINED that he would start a fire
among a lot Of boxes and after the
flames had gained a good Roadway, he
would throw few handfulls of his
wonderful eXtinguisher on the hercely
burning debris, and, presto, the fire
would be put out.
Wilen the appointed time arrived
a crowd had gathered to witness the
wonderful performance and to see
,--e fire fiend subdued at so much
per sub. The boxes were set afire,
and after burning a short .lme the
dope" man threw some of his won
derful compound on the flames and
watched the result. No res,... More
eXtinguishing powder was cast onto
the fire, but the flames refused to
exiting. With look of despair the
fakir man threw all of his stock on
the burning embers, but the more he
threw on the better the fire burned
and he was forced to give it up. AS
a spectacle from the watchers stand
point, the affair was bowling sue
cess, but from the performers side 1t
was rank failure.
