A Way to End Pork Hunting
CFrom the New York Tribune)

Getting a s42,00O.OO0 River and

ers. If the President approves this
vicious legislative hand-out, the sig

raid on the treasury 10 the shape Of

The pork hunters are IN a majority
in each branch of Congress. If the
President is afraid to defy them, no
limit oan be put on their rapacity-
except the limit of temporarily salts

Patriotic members of Congress, who
put the interest Of the country as a
whole before the interest of their
states and districts, are beginning to
despair Of shaking off the I-ticlLle-you-
and-you -tickle-me system Of spending
the public's money. Few Presidents
can be expected to have the moral
courage TO veto pork measures. There

NOT EVERYBODY DEAD.

From the Elkton Whig.
Everybody in the State Of Maryland
IS not as dead" and Indifferent to
public affairs as are the people OF

several counties public meetings are
being held and public proceedings are
being taken with regard to the new
assessment Of real estate recently or
dered by the state Tax Commission.
In Frederick county. the county COM
missioners have announced them
selves as opposed to the new assess
ment and Leo Weinberg, as attorney

agents from proceeding with the re-
assessment and the court has fixed

ceedines are being Instituted in Wash

sioners allege that the last assess
ment. made in 1910. cost the county
between s35 600 and 100000.
The opposition TO the assessment
arises from two considerations. In
the first place It IS confined to the
counties. Baltimore CITY being ex-

In the second place the reassess-

second. But that lesson is still tho
