GO SLOW ON THIS BILL.

HERE is to be introduced in the Legislature
II a bill to require property owners TO pave
the streets in front of their properties. Under
the terms of the proposed measure, every owner
of a house or lot in front of which the street
is unimproved be compelled TO pave the
street, the city sharing one-thrd of the cost and
the owner of the property paying the remainder.
If the property owner failssto pave when directed
TO do so, the city can do the work and the cost
will be entered lien against his property.
This bill savors of discrimination against GER
tain property owners. For illustration, the own
ers of houses in the South Wilmington end of
the Second ward or of the section of the Ninth
wand beyond Eleventh street bridge and Market
street bridge, or the western end of Wilmington,
or in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards have
been paying their Just share of taxes for years.
Yet they have not received much in the way of
improved streets. The taxes they have been pay
ing have been applied to the general fund out
of which streets in other sections have been inn
proved and paved while the streets in the sec
tons named have been perpetuated in the same
old muddy and disgusting condition.
Is it fair now to compel the property owners
in the sections having miserable streets to pay
for the paving in front of their properties
after they have been contributing their taxes to
assist in paving in the center of the city and in
other sections where the streets have been inn
proved systematically? The dwellings in the sec
tons having unimproved streets are owned most
" by working men who depend upon their week
" wages for existence These small property
owners have borne faithfully more than their just
share of taxation to benefit and assist in paving
the streets of property owners in other sections.
Now it is proposed to compel them TO pay for
the paving in front of their own houses, with
very little financial assistance from the taxpayers
OF neghborhoods that enjoy good streets pro-
vided out of the general tax levy.

STATE TAXATION.

HE debate in the House. at Dover over the
u report of the Taxation Commissioner
being decided to report favorably the bills
recommended by the COMMISSIONERS highly
entertaining Judging by the different views ex-
pressed, it seems that the Commission will have
TO be continued so that the general subject of
taxation in the State may be further examined
and additions made to the present report
There is disposition on all sides to arrive
at a fair and equitable scheme of taxation 1t
strikes us that Mr.. Sanborn, attorney for the
Baltimore and Ohio Company, made pertinent
remark when he stated that he hoped some gen
eral law would be prepared relating to the taxa
alton of railroad companies.
The Legislature, is however, nearing its end
and there will probably not be sufficient time
for the preparation Of such law which would
require much thought and care. The report of
7ne Commission should have been taken up at
the beginning of the session as it is the most n-
portant subject that has been or will be before
the present session of the General Assembly.
The taxation of the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia Railroad Company is one of the diff
cult problems. One view is that the company
should be taxed in accordance with the assessed
value of its property. Mr. Ridgey who is a
keen student of taxation, said that the Commits
sion did not propose TO tax companies on their
income but on their property. He expressed his
personal opinion as in favor of taxation on earn
ings, but remarked that this is difficult thing
to decide. We presume that Mr.. Ridgely, from
this statement, believes in the taxing of public
service corporations according to their earnings,
and this is plan adopted by many students Of
taxation If however the d., M. and v. Rail-
road Company were to be taxed on its earnings
the same principle would have, in justice to be
applied to the other railroad companies Of the
State
Here, then, the different theores--the tax
alton of earnings, the taxation of the actual prop
erty and the taxation of franchises. And to
he fr,ie Of faxa
would seem most fair, because under such sys-
tenn the community would share by taxation in
the Increasing value Of the franchise and if the
franchises did not increase in valve as in the in

NAVAL TITLES IN DELAWARE.

w L note that some of the sedate members Of
Wv the Delaware Legislature have conferred
upon Colonel A. l.. Ainscow, of this city, the hon
orary title of Commodore of the Oyster Fleet
and henceforth it is to be Commodore Ain
scow" We have no objections to the title. In
fact, we rather rejoice because the action of the
legislative members opens a vast field of posi-
bties in the way of bestowing titles, and
titles make some people happy we believe jim
them, as we believe in all things that may cause
this world to be better and happier world.
The appointment of Mr.. Ainscow to be
Commodore, suggests the idea that might
have sort of Navy in Delaware, carrying with
it the appointment by the Legislature or by the
Governor of a number of men to bear the bur
den of the titles
1t may be recalled that numerous citizens
were disappointed when Governor Pennewill
overlooked them in making up the Governors
staff Only half a crop of colonies and generals
was harvested, due to the fact that many of the
old staff were reappointed We have been read
ing so much of half a crop of vegetables and of
half crop of peaches that, it is rather dis
heartening to note only half crop of new col
onels and generals.
This condition, however, can be remedied il
the course suggested by the saluting OF Mr.
Ainscow as a Commodore is followed If we
should have a feet-an oyster fleet an aux
iliary navy--there would be large number of
Admirals Commodores, Captains, ieutenants
and Midshipmen to be appointed and number
of new honors would thereby be available.

various qualities Of ardent spirits, having
attempted TO set us Alright in the matter
OF drugs and foodstuffs, 1t is gratifying to
know that the pure food experts now pro-
pose to take up the question Of cigars, and
let us know precisely what is what in that
regard.
AS firmly as the smoking habit is fixed
on this country, we doubt that 10 per cent.
Of the smokers really know good cigar
when one comes their way. Tobacco is
susceptible Of chemical treatment-just as
whisky is-to a marked degree The mere
fact that given cigar tastes all right is
no sort of guarantee that 1t is all right.
Various drugs are employed on occasions
to bring a low quality cigar up to an ap-
parent high stage OF perfection; and Of
such, It is said, are fashioned the cam
paign brands and the Christmas gift
boxes.
