RELATING TO TAX SALES.
Assessor Darneille Proposes an Amend
ment to the Law.

The District assessor, H. H. Darneflle,
has submitted to the board Of Commission
ers the draft Of an amendment to the act
of Congress of May Is, 1892, relating to tax
sales and taxes In the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Darneille calls attention to the fact
that the law as 1t stands makes a tax GER
tificate issued by his office, from which any
item of overdue taxes may be omitted,
bar only to subsequent purchaser. He
thinks it the part of wise public policy to
SO change the statute to bar the colec-
ton and recovery Of such item of tax omit
ted from a certificate from any piece of
property. In other words, that the tax de-
partment shall stand by its issued certifi-
Gates.
The proposed amendment requires the
assessor to prepare and keep for public
reference list Of all the property sold in
the District for delinquent taxes, either of
the regular levy or special assessment. The
amendment would further require the
SCISSOR to furnish, when called upon to do
so, a statement of all delinquent taxes
against any piece of property, and such
certificate would represent all the overdue
assessments. In case any were omitted, the
recovery and collection of the same would
be barred by statute. The fee for such
certificate is prescribed by the amendment
to be 81.

REVISING THE TARIFF.
Republican Members of Both Houses
Should Make Any Necessary Changes.

SQOulQ MAKE any N necessary CuduR6S
Senator Stewart does not believe in any
general revision Of the tariff at this time.
1.-The republican party is the tariff party"
he said when seen by Star reporter today.
Tariff for the protection of American labor
Is the cardinal doctrine of that party. All
free traders are democrats, but all demo-
Gratis are not free traders. Some democrats
are free traders: some democrats are for
tariff for revenue only. Most democats are
for tariff on articles not produced in this
country, and few, If any, Of them are for
tariff, for the protection of American labor.
Whenever the democrats are In power
and tinker with the tariff, which they al
ways do, business Is largely suspended be-
cause nobody can guess what will be done
next If some articles which were properly
taxed in the Dingley bill have grown out of
adjustment and some notifications ought
to be made, 1t Is not necessary to have a
general revision and suspension of business
while the adjustment is being made. The
republican members of the two houses
should investigate and report If conditions
as to any particular articles have SO
changed since the passage Of the Dingley
bill as to require modification; if so, prepare
a bill for that purpose on protective lines
and not on the destructive theories of the
democratic party. The bill thus prepared
ought to pass both houses without amend
ment and without debate so far as repub-
icans are concerned.
1.-THE report of the committees should be
sufficient to go to the country. Let the
loose talk about revising the tariff stop, so
far as republicans are concerned and let
such action be taken as will restore the
Dingley bill to the excellent adjustment
which existed at the time of it's passage 1t
is the best tariff law ever passed, and has
produced more prosperity than any other.
The republicans who are responsible for the
tariff cannot afford to allow the Dingley
bill to fall into the hands of non-rartisans
freetraders or revenue 'tariffites.' They
have had their day and the country has had
enough Of them. Discussion Of schedules
with free traders is about as useful as dis
cussing the benefits Of prosperity with
calamity bowler"

Regulation of Railway Rates.

The Senate committee on interstate COM
merce is to spend some time during the
coming session discussing bills int roduced
by Senators Elkins and Nelson. Senator
Nelson's bill vastly extends the power of
the interstate commerce commission and
gives it not only power to regulate and
enforce the rates II deems reasonable, but
also power to punish by fine and imprison-
ment for violations of its rulings. Senator
Elkns bill Is not quite radical, IL
allows the railroads to pool in regulating
their rates and gives the commission less
power than is provided by the Nelson bill.
1t Is understood that Senator Carmack Of
Tennessee viii make an extended speech IN
the Senate on this subject.

Geological Survey Report.

David T. Day of the United States
geological survey in his report to the
department pays attention to Mon
tana. The copper mining industry of
this state is reviewed at length. be-
ginning in the year 1883. when copper
first attracted the attention OF Mon
tana miners. The report says:
"In 1900 Montana's production
reached 120.S65 tons, or 44.7 per cent.
The Lake Superior mines that year
produced 64,93S tons, and Arizona
$3.50 tons. Considerable space is
given to facts relating to the depres-
sion in Montana's 1901 output Of cop
per. with all of which the public is
familiar.
Notwithstanding the fact that sill
yer mining in Montana is carried
along as a secondary consideration,
and that the metal is a bi.product
with copper. Montana stands second
in the list of silver producers for 1901,
with a yield of 1871, 700 ounces, a
decrease of 1908, 200 compared with
1900. The coinage value was $16,97S,-
800. and the commercial value was
s7,S79. 900. In the production of gold
the report gives Montana the fifth
place, with 229, 495 fine ounces, valued
at s4,744,1 100. Montana was n of
the FIVE states whose production Of
coal in 1901 was less than tina OF 1900.
The value decreased from $2,7lS,7 O7

Mayflower Mine Abandoned.

The famous Maytiower mine, in
Madison county, which has produced
over $1,000. 900 and is owned by Sen.
ator w. A. Clark, has been abandoned.
The development work reached a
depth of 1850 feet, and at that level
the ore pinched out. The ore, which
was in the nature of a chimney. vas
one of the greatest deposits of gold
ore ever discovered.
The mine was purchased by Sena-
tor Clark for $4,000, and at that
time there was owe 100000 worth
of ore in sight.
The ore was shipped to the Clark
smelters and no one on the outside
knows the actual production OF the
property. though it is asserted by
many that $1,000, 900 a year has been
taken out.-Avant Courier.
