Nauseating Statements.

The Baltimore papers several times during
the year, especially during the sessions of the
Legislature, claim that that city pays about
rs per cent. of the direct taxes received by
the State, the most of which goes TO the coun-
ties. Only or Tuesday last the Sun was COM
planning that Baltimore city and county re
ceived $3.50, 900 less of the school funds than
they paid to the State. We have not the
Comptroller's report at hand, but if the edi-
torial writers of the papers will examine the
reports for some years past they will find that
Baltimore city receives in one form or another
about the same amount she pays in taxes to
the State. She gets an appropriation of $780,
900 year for the John Hopkins University.
The Maryland Institute and dozen or more
hospitals get appropriations.
The Sun complains of the heavy tax rate of
$500 in Baltimore compared to the rate in
the counties. Republicanism and extrava-
gance are interchangeable terms. Look every
where in the State and you will find the low
est taxed counties are under Democratic con-
troll. Democracy and economy are inter.
Cn3ukoADie 1hS Jun aiu SfCl D.A'tl-
more paper has been advocating the election,
in the name of reform, of Republican officials.
The Sun complains of 81. 90 tax rate. Under
Mayor Master, Republican, it once went TO
1928 on the $4,000. The Sun may rest
assured that the Democrats of the counties
have no interest in the tax rate in Baltimore.
1t will find that no straight Democratic paper
in Maryland will lend Baltimore helping
hand If the rate goes to $500 on the $4,000
The Independents and Republicans and the
chief Baltimore papers, in the name of re
form, have been putting the city under Re
publican rule, and let them bear the results of
their action.
We hope The Democrats from Carroll in the
Senate and House will not aid one toto in
lifting Baltmore's burden. Whatever dis
aster has come to her mas come by abandon
ing Democratic principles. Let the people Of
that city who spent their money for reform, -
spend more to throw off the yoke of Repubi.

JUSTICE AT LAST.

WASHINGTON, January 2. The supreme
Court Of the United States today affirmed the
decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in
the case of James B. Howard VS.. the State OF
Kentucky. Howard was tried three times in
the Circuit Court Of Franklin Co., Ky, on the
charge of numbering Gov. William Goebel, Of
Kentucky. on January 80, 1900, and convicted
each time. He is now under sentence 10 life
imprisonment, and he brought the case 10
this court to secure review Of the ruling Of
the Kentucky Court of Appeals, affirming
decision of the Circuit Cont against allowing
him another trial. His principal allegation
was that the proceedings Of the trial court IN
the matter of selecting and discharging jury
men WAS irregular.
Justice McKenna delivered the opinion af
6rming the conviction Of Howard for killing
William Goebel.
