Discussion of New Tax Certificates
General and Personal News.

Discussion of New Tax Certihcates-
General and Personal News.
Real estate men claim that the tax Ger
tifcate now being issued, with the recently
adopted change that ''only redeemable tax
sales reported" defeats the very object
for which the tax certificate was designed
to attain. Heretofore on the payment of
80 cents a certificate could be secured
which showed all taxes due and unpaid, as
well as all tax sales affecting the property
for period of at least twenty years. Now,
however, the change gives the certificate
short value and does not show any sales
that may have taken place four or five
years ago. AS the certificate stands it
shows the condition of the property as re-
CARDS the taxes for practically but three
years, as the property Is not redeema BILE
from the date it is bought in, which Is one
year after the tax Is due. The real eS-
tate agents of this section are desirous
of having the old certificate again in use,
which will show whether the property has
been sold through ignorance or neglect.
During the past week several transfers
Of property in the suburbs have been re-
corded. Among the number are the follow
ing: John D. Croissant to Zaida Fenton,
one lot for $1,000 and Hileary T. Burrows

Suit to Recover Damages for NOn-De-
livery of a Telegram.
Justice Of the Peace Thomas HI. Callan
gave a hearing late yesterday afternoon
In the case of Policeman Samuel Payne
against the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany for 500 damages for failure in de-
livering a telegram which he sent from
Norfolk. Va, to Lieut.. McCathran Of the
fifth precinct on the evening Of July II
last. AS a result of the company's failure
to deliver the telegram, it is alleged, the
complainant was a9udged guilty Of alb
sence from duty without leave, which
caused the imposition of fine Of $4.S3, as
well as impairing his standing in the police
department. Evidence in the case yester
day showed that Payne, having secured
q leave Of absence for five days on July
took a trip to Norfolk. On the night of
July IL he failed to catch the boat for
Washington and telegraphed his lieuten-
ant stating the facts and asking for an
extension Of leave. 1t is claimed the tele-
gram was never delivered, and hence the
suit. Justice Callan reserved decision.

Much Comment Upon What Are Thought to Be

mounted and labelled. What became of
them L know not. If they finally. went
to the Italian ragman it is a pity, for
they contained in their mute lines and
tracings a great object lesson of the men
tai and political methods of the foremost
organizer of his generation.
TILDElN-S TALENTED PUPIL.
David 3. Hill is the Oldest of all Til
denis pupils. He has genius. for COM
bination equal to that of his preceptor,
and he is not behind him in the keep sa-
gacity that enables him to put the right
man in the right place Mr.. Watterson
probably would not coincide in this opin-
ion That is evident from the Kentucky
editors contemptuous reference to Bird
S. Coler as a mouthpiece of Hill. But is
Mr.. WatterSon as wise as he thinks he
is? Mr. Coler is of sufficient Importance
to be one of the very strongest candidates
for the Mayoralty of the first of Ameri-
can communities. He has the confidence
of the silver men of New York State and
city. by whom Bryan was 50 Loyalty sup
ported, and, next to the Secretary of the
United States Treasury, he holds the
most commanding financial office in the
country. Hill is fortunate that he can
attract men like Coler to him.
GORMAN'S INFLUENCE SMALL
The reported antagonism of ex-senator
German, of Maryland, does not appear
to worry the close friends of ex-Gover-
nor Hill. His prestige in the party is
gone, and the last vestige Of it will have
disappeared within the coming four years.
Beyond the boundaries of Maryland he
has no following, and even in that State
the era of his Dictatorship has passed
away. Nevertheless the antaSoniSm of
German. if antasonism there be, is a
symptom that opposition exists to Hills
leadership, or. rather, to his absolute
control of the Democracy of the East.
The manner in which eX-President
Cleveland is going to the front is another
factor in the Hill campaign. There never
was the slightest friendship between the
two men: in fact, they cordially dislike
one another. Their methods ideas and
theories of political management, and, it
nay be said, of government, are utterly
dissinliar.

who. although spoken of, were either
without q diocese or belonged TO sOsne
religious order It occurred to me that
it has been stated I'm some quarters that
Pope Leo .xIII.i has designated some one
of the Cardinals as the man whom his

asked my host IL the Pope had made any
such selection.
Pope LEO HAS NO CHOICE.
..Do not believe anything of the kind,
{ he replied. IF Leo XIII. had Indicated a
choice this alone would prevent his nom
iuee from being elected. AS a rule. the
Cardinals are prone to criticisc the de-
ceased Pontif and to act exactly contra
ry to his expressed wishes. n selection
of a candidate by the living Pope would
make the Cardinals. most of them. vote
for any one else but the one selected =

mentioned in this connection, but you
must remember that he is a CarHeiite.
and like the other members or rehgloiis
orders has no chance to succeed Leo
MIL Some of the men who are men
toned as successors to the present Pope
are too Young to succeed. y young man
will not be selected, because he would
be likely to reign so long as to deprive
the others of the opportunity OF holding
the highest office on earth
AS the Cardinal closed the interview. I
recalled the fact that at the last Con-

Cardinals. WIN they went into the Con-
clave were said to have fully decided as
to the man for whom they. would cast
their votes. Circumstances. however.
compelled the majority TO change their
candidate. and Cardinal Pecci. who had
never been thought of possible sue
cesSor of Plus IN. who was one of the
most unpopular of the Cardinals residing
in Curia. was elected and became La
Mi. The present Pope has more than
once said that he would live as long al
did the Queen OF England. As this let
ter is written the news comes that Vic

knows but that these opening days of a
new century may see the passing of the

SiasticaI monarchs of the nineteenth CEN
fury, for the health of the Pope Is such
that any day may see q breaking down
of his physical powers and the election
of his successor may come before an
other new year No oue-not eveE cA1I-
nal Rampo1la-can say with certainty
who that successor will be. Although
improbable. it is not impossible that an
American Cardinal may be the first Pope
of the new century. for it is said that the
Holy Ghost has a directing voice in q
Conclave. and perhaps the election of an
American Pope is In the designs of Prov
idence, who is able to thwart the pro-
jects of men for the good of the Univer-
sal Church.
