ment te prompt tax-payers, or penalty te be
imiiesed upon delinquent Ux payers. The
abatoiueuts of threo or tire per cent, allowed
for a number of year upon county taxes
have been entirely discretionary en the part
el the commissioners.
Last spring, In order that tbe "Lecal
Act" dlitrlcts shall be troated exactly as
the ethors, the commissioners atter consid
erable deliberation decided te allow thorn
both en state end county taxes (although
no abatement had ever belore been inade
en state tax. mid this time it wsb allowed
lu these districts nt the expense of the
county, net of the state) the same nbate nbate nbate
moets as were by law allowed throughout
tlie rest of the county, nnd te enforce, ir pos pes
slble, the saine penalties In the case of de
linquents. Of course, noejeotton was made
te the nbntement, but as nym as the ;nalty
of flve per cent, was te be added In these
" iecal Act" districts, It was resisted, and
the commissioners having no way te enforce
It, notified the collectors in these disttlcU
net te make any additions.
.low It Is manifestly unratr te tbe twenty,
three districts for the comtnlsslenera te allow
the ethers all the advantages under the
Bet of 1SS5, when they n:e powerless te en
force the disadvantages. In ether words,
it Is net Just or right that the owners
el two farms, lying side hy side, the
one In HaM the ether lu West Cocallce,
should each be able te pay his one hundred
dollars county lax en ibe nrst uay of Ma,
lay
i, ir
with a check for nlnetv-rHe dollars, while, if
they both wait until December, and nav en
the same day, the West Cocallce man can get
his receipt for ene hundred dollars, and the
East Cocallce man must pay ene hundred
and I've dollars.
It abatement and penalty could be enforced
allke in every district, that would be all
right, but as in Kast Ueuipfield, Warwick,
and ether " Lecal Act" districts the penalty
cannot be enforced, then In all fairness the
nbatetieni should net be allowed.
N"w, with two laws epTatlng in this way,
en May 1, the West Cocalieo man must pay
ene hundred dollars, while the E!st Cocallce
man pays only niuoty-Hie dollars ; while en
Decetntmr 1, the West Cocallce man nitty
still satisfy the collector's demand with one
hundred dollars, but tbe Lsit Cocallce man
must pay ene hundred nnd flve dollars, ten
dollars mere than would hate been sufficient
seven mouths befere ; uovertholoss the aver avor
age Is the same, nud nothing fairer can be
dene under existing laws
A misunderstanding In regard te the pay
of collectors under the act or liS5 has been
circulated, Hnd gained souie headway; the
fact is that they received I ut two per cent,
upon all taxes paid in the Qrst sixty days,
aud file cr "cent, en the balance. The
books or this otllce show for ISStJ a total
slate aud county tax ley of JaOO,P03 01, of
which 239,010 60, nbeut four tlflhs of the
whole levy, was paid during the first sixty
days; without making au alie a unce for
exoueratleus, en which the collector, et
course, recehea no cemmissi in, this shows
that the average commission would have
been two nnd three-fifths per cent rer 1SS3,
and making the allowauce ter exonerations
it would reduce it te net en" cent mero than
two nud oue half per cent. Sill Lury, under
Its local law, new pays 3 per -nt. ; Lancas
ter township, 2)4 per cunt. , Crornarien, S
per cent (the school beard getttng nothing) j
.Marietta, t per cent; West HeinpUeld, t per
cent, j aud even Warwick pay 1 , percent.
With echoel taxes the cjnimisileuers have
nothing te de, nor would thilr collection Ikj
atlected In auy way by tbe proposed legliU
lien , with three exceptions the school taxts
for every township and beuugh lu the coun
ty are neui collected under the net of ISsS.
As already stated, the oemmlssioners
dcaire only what is fair rer the whole
county. If, with u clear understanding or
the ctlect, there Is geueial objection te tbe
repeal et these local acU, they wilt cheer
fully withdraw any effort in that direction,
believlng, nevertheless, that theso who
new oppose will by the time the uext legls.
lature meets favor the repeal et our numer
ous local tax collcc'den laws.

A bill In equity was flleil Tuesday In the
belted States circuit court, Philadelphia, by
Samuel Dicksen, cop, en behalf of tbe Putt
man Pal sce Car company, against the Cen
tral Transportation company. The bill ro re ro
citea the lonse or the cus or the dofendatits,
with thelr franchises or patent rights, con
tracts, Ac, te the pialntltli, far which
201,000 rental annuity was te be paid, with
the condition of the ronewalB of the contracts
then existing for the running or Bleeping
cars e or various railroads, Al .
The plalntllls carried ou tha btislnesa of
nporatlugslceptng cars under his leasts but
when the contract with the Pennsylvania
railroad company for the running or these
cars evor Its reads explred, the plaintiffs were
unable te reuew It upon anything llke the
faverable terms et the expired contract, nnd
were, thorelore, compelled te accept ether
terms, by which the rental et ?2C1,000 per
year oeuld net be oarned.
The eighth section or the contract, plain,
tills claimed, authorized them te nniml the
loase and surrender the leased property In
sueh an event, or te pay te the defendant u
pireontage of the earnings under the new
contract with the railroads and that tLey,
under this clause, otlered te pay the deleu
dants (00,000 yearly In lieu el a percontage of
the earnings under the new contract with thn
railroad company, which offer was aoceptod
by the beard of directors or the company
defendant. Upen that acceptance the plain
tills entered into n new contract with the
Pennsylvania rallreid company bd(1 sub
sequently the doiendants refused te accept
the feG.OOO rental and brought suit te re
cover the full amount of the rental under
the erlxlnnl loase nnd recovered a verdict of
ever (119.000 against the plulntilli.
The bill further recites that the contract
made with the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany by the plaintiffs wai upon the induce
ment that the defendants would accept the
105,000 rental; that the centra-t with the
railroad company is net astlgnable, and
plalntllls cannot transfer It te defendants j
that ir platntlfft de net carry out
that contract they will be llable In
damages te the railroad company, and
they cannot cam the 5201 000 rental de
manded by the defendant-s, and though, In
consequence et the action of the defendants,
plalntllls had netlded them that plaintiffs
had deolared, as was their right under eoc eec eoc
tleu 8 rorerred te, the lease te be null and
void, and offered te surrender Ac., property
et tha defendants, they claimed that plalntllls
could net avoid the loose, as they could net
surrender tbodemlied property.Fertheoand
ether reasons plalntllls asked that defendants
be enjeined from brlnglngether suits, as tbey
purpese doing, against plaintiffs; that they
be decreed te make answer In full te this bill
and that the court appoint a receiver te taks

very faverable impresaleu. The result
was that tbe house was scarcely large
enough te held tbe poeplo in the evening.
Iu the first part about twenty Ilvo persons
wero seen, Including ten end men. U. L
Hall and Geerge German eccupiid the out
side chairs, nnd wero qulte funny. All of the
comedlans had plenty of chestnuts, but the
audlence seemed anxious te coveur the fruit.
The songs by Messrs. Manning, llarley and
Malcom wero well rontlered. The seoeud
part of the show contained but four acts, but
almost the whnle treupe were seen In
two of them. It opened with what
the management termed a spectacular
novelty entitled "The Ulack Watch." In
this twelve members et the company were
seen, and they were led by the three Gor Ger
mau brothers. They did oemo wonderful
drilling and dancing, and wound the act up
with a tableau. Tbe Quaker City quartette
next appeared. They are excellent musiclius
as well as slngcre, end the audlence wai se

They wero recalled n number of
times and always pleased. The new

served te lntroduce tbe Gerinans aud about a

E. M. Hall, who is always a great favorite,
came next with hli banjo. He has few supe
riors with this Instrument and hli comie
songs and payings always add greatly te his
act. Encores were pltnty with him. The
show cleed with au eppretta entitled " King

forth at any tlme. Socretaty Bayard deellned
te say anything en the ndmunda bill beeauie
the department thore of state bad net been
censulted when the bill was prepared. This
morning's JMt says, however, it is learned
from au authoritative source that the bill 1
in porfeet nocerd with the policy of
the department which was set forth In
Senater German's' speech ou the bill. The
department Is nlse said te favor the amend
ments that were offetod by Mr. German, pre.
hlbltlng cemmerce between the two coun
tries by rail as well as by water. It Is hoped
by the Btate department that the bill tlU tlU
speedlly bring about the desired result by
showing te the Canadian government that
the Unlted States has dotermlned te make a
stand for her rights. The talk about war I
net regarded as very serious.
Editorially the Jst says : "Several of tha
Republican senators who championed the
bill for the protection or American fishermen
epoke with uiuah mero beat nud bltterneaa
than that occasienod for. They became
absurdly bloodthirsty. Hews betwoen Great
Britain and the Unlted States Is net wanted.
Sueh a calamity should be provented at all

patient leaders or both countries." Although
simply the true annenucement that the
cabinet bad considered the matter was given
te the preas last night it Is understood that
the members ell agreed as te the expedloeoy
of adopting retaliatory measures, and that the
discussion yesterday afternoon related te the
effect the Edmunds bill would bave en the
Canadian authorities. There Boomed te be
