THE MARYLAND MILITIA. A meeting of the officers of the Maryland | state militin was held at Gen. Stewart Brown’ | residence in Baltimore and was composed of Gens. Douglas. Brown, Cols. Boykin, Wilmer, Howard, Brune, Saunders and Lieut, Col. Mar- | koe. While the immediate matter considered, says the Baltimore Sun, was the preparation of | which they all seemed to want to go, and the determination of Gen. Douglas upon the requi- efficient Law. A PROBLEM THAT 18 GROWING SERIOUS AND WHICH IT 18 HOPED TO SOLVE BY A DOOMAGE LAW—FIGURES FROM THE RECENT ASSESS MENT. Correspondence of The Evening Star Bostox, Jan. 14, 1893, Boston doesn't know just what to do with its Jong and distinguished list of tax dodgers. It | is @ problem that grows moreand more seri- ous each year and presses for solution with especial force at this juncture, when so many | public improvements are held in check by the | high tax rate. The assessors’ figuros for the | current fiseal year are just out and they show | that the total aseessed realestate in Boston to ‘be 680,252,200, a gain over 1891 of $30.013.800; | the personal property is $213,680,300, a gain | of $8,849,300. ‘The total increase of all tax- | able property for the year is $38,863,100—a | very handsome showing and larger than the | total wealth of some much boomed western cities, re + A com of valuations, 9 tions sat mate “Epa a eine es following table: ‘Year. ‘Valuation. | Appropriation.| 28%. 3 3 tes 2eq These figures show that Boston's wealth in- creased more both relatively and absolutely in 1892 that in any other year in its history. But still th ton assessors are not happy. They note the disparity between the increase of real and personal property. not only during the past year, but for many years. Keal estate has comé tobe mainly relied upon for the great bulk of the revenue raised by taxation, At the same time requires only a slight knowledge of the form weaith assumes in great fortunes to see that the actual increase of personal property must be even greater thin that of real estate. ‘There is no escape from the fact that a large sition for overcoats needed in each regiment, other matters were discnesed, especially the | | feasibility of holding an encampment this year, in view of the attractions of the world’ Chicago, and also the prope appropriations for the Nat | plan begun by Gen. Douglas of calling into | conference now and then the brigade com-| | mander and the colonels to consider the best | way to expend the appropriations will be | continued when, in Gen. Douglas’ judgment, ‘it will be desirable. It is evidently his purpose to keep the expenditures strictly within the ap- propriation and at the same time to make that |*ppropriation go as far as possible toward | keeping the guard efficiently armed and | © Club of | quipped and to obtain the best possible re- | without raising th sults.

Conservative and well-informed men have es- timated that not leas than $500,000.00 of tax- able personal pr-perty escapes taxation in Bos ton yearly. If this immense sum yielded its just revenue it, would reduco the tax rate of joston to abont $8 per $1,000. This would greatly ease the burdens on real estate, make lower general welfare. Great public improvements could be taken up and pushed to completion e tax rate to the present fig- ure, $12.90 per $1,000. One of the most marked social tendencies of the time in Boston is the inclination of its rich men to seek suburban residences. They have erected houses of almost manorial elegance along the North Shore and the South Shore, in the shady quiet of interior towns and even as far away as Lenox, among the Berkshire hilis. ‘The accession toa town of men who were taxed on a large personal estate in Boston wouid be expected to have # much greater of- fect on the amount of personal property than on the value of reai estate or the number cf | poll.

Ames, his tax bill to the city being $78,699.03. This is an in- crease of $3,716.17 over 1891. The second largest individual taxpayer is J. Mont ry Sears, who a few years ago stood at the head of the list. His tax in 1892 was 57,123.20, which is an increase of $8,000.52 over that of the pre- vious year. The large individual taxpayers, in addition to the above, who pay a tax of over $10,000 are as follows: Eben. D. Jordan, €25,- Stevenson, $23,338.99; H.' Hollis Hunnewell, $19,587.36; Joseph N. Fiske, $19,223; Quincy . $17,736.27: Daniel 8. Ford, $15,580.07; Frederick R. .03: Henry L. Peirce, 8. Stone. $12,241.52; Frank- $2.76: Join C.

What Boston wants to do is to get more of her many-times millionaires on this same pub- lie roll of honor. The competition to stand high on the tax list should be sharper. — NEWS FROM ROCKVILLE. Serious Inconventence Caused by the Con- tinued Cold Weather—Notes. Correspondence of The Evenins Star. Rockvitze, January 15, 1893. Tho hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Fields, about one mile north of this place, was, on Friday night, the scene of a pleasant dancing party, tho numerous guests bailing from different parts of the county, the District and other places. A cordial welcome was ex- tended to ench arriving guest and every atten- tion showu to make the occasion a pleasant one. The largo parlors were thrown open to the dancers, and from 8 o'clock until 5 the next dance and waltz to the inspiring strains of a fine Washington orchestra, At midnight a sup- per was served in fine old Maryland style to hich ample justice was done. The tasteful and elegant toilets of the Indies lent an addi tional charm to the scene. Among the partic pants were the following: Licat. and Mra. Boy and son, Mr. and Mrs J. R. Rabbitt and daugh- ter, Miss Brown. Mrs. Baldwin and danghter, Mr. and Miss Kilmartin, Mr. and Miss Garner, Misses Mary Rabbitt, Clara Hardy and Bertie Poore of Washington; Mr. Frank and Miss Edna Hardy, Kensington: Mr. Will Richter and brother, Mr. Jos.

If it be impossible to extend civil service rules to presidential appointment in the Indian service, yet the eelection and retention of agents and inspectors, and also of Indian agents and allotting agents, ought to be left free from partisan dictation, and only those | persons appointed who are creditable examples ‘of white civilization and whose character is it- | self » pledge that they will use their office to | promote the welfare of the Indians among whom they labor. 2 The gqvernment is now committed to the education of all Indian youth, and this educa- tion should be obligatory. It is humiliating that ignorant or bad men should be allowed to thwart the purpose of the government. Whil persuasion will usually be sufficient to fill the | schools, an exercise of force should not be | withheld whenever it may become necessary in | order to prevent interference with the execu- education. $. In the transition incident to the develop- ment of a public school system by tho government, religious and benevolent so- cieties, so’ far from withdrawing their interest in the Indians, houid increase their efforts, remembering that it is their special ‘function to develop character, as well as in- telligence; to give higher education and moral fiber to those who shall be the leaders of these | people, and by intimate contact in the home and the church to mold_the children who come | out of the schools into Christian citizens. 4. Indians should be brought to self-sapport | as rapidly as possible, and to that end not only | should tho issue of rations soon be discon- | tinued, but meantime, where practicable, funds | due Indians should be paid them in cash rather | | than in supi lies. | 5. The fuil success of the Indian service requires greater unity of management aud con- centration of responmbilities, The appoint- ment or nomination of all employes, from the agent to the lowest official, should be committed to the bureau which is responsible for the ad- ministration. 6. The adjudication of an enormous amount of depredation claims brought against the In- | | standing and where they cannot be heard is un- just to the Indians, and should not be made a lien on trust funds in the hands of the United States government created and held for the benefit of the Indiane. Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the chair to convey to the President-elect a copy of this action and to present to him per- sonally an expression of our earnest desire that he will apport such commissioner of Indian affairs as will carry on the Indian office in the spirit and along the lines herein suggested. #0 that even greater progress may be made during his term of office. The board also adopted resolutions declar- ing: “That in the view of this board, that portion of the act of Congress of March 3, 1891, Telating to claims against Indians for depreda- tions, which makes the sums adjudged by the ‘Court of Claims a lien against funds held in trust for the whole tribe, is unjust and oppressive, and threatens the Indian trust funds with anuihilation; that trust tunds‘held by the United States for the benefit of the Indians should be as inviolable ae other trust funds, and this board respect- fully but earnestly’ appeals to Congress to also much of the act as authorizes the parment of these claims from said trust funds.

Edward Clark, D.D..who has for the past twenty years been the pestor of the Church New York, has publicly re- nounced his allegiance to the Presbyterian gep- eral assembly. “I cannot endure the tyranny of the general assembly,” Dr. Clark said; “it cannot dictate what I shall think or believe, or, rather, I cannot think and believe what it may dictate. Iam done with it.” | Se. for the greatest liniment—Salvation OU, * } | | of the Puritans of | ite | in 1880 was | years from $943, than doubled its real estate, but has reduced personal property nearly one-half. On the face of these returns alone the inference would be that Nahant had received a large number of people who had invested their all in little roofs to shelter them. But with ail these shiitings of personal estate Nahant's tax rate 5.25 and in 1890 $6.50. Brookline has incrensed its real estate almost fourfold, from $8,331,100 in 1870 to $129, 000 in 1890 and raised its polls from 1,415 to 4,104, yet has ouly advanced its personal’ prop- erty about 50 per cent, from $10,557,200 to $15,571,100. Its tax rate was 87.50 ‘twenty years ago aud now startles taxpayers at the aiurming high rate of about 29.0 Beverly, ineluding Beverly s, famous the world over for the town division co troversy. has trebled its real estate and more than doubied its polls, but has increased its personal property less than 50 per cent—it had | $2.610,800 of personal property way back in | 1870. and with ail the growth along the branches since then had but $3,850,550 in per- sousl property in 1800. Marblehead, which includes Marblehead Neck, boasts a tax rate of £5.16, but confesses to have €300,000 less personel proserty than in 1870, thongh its real estate has more than doubled and its polls have gained more than £0 | per cent. Cohasset has raised its real estate in twenty 9 to $2,203,554, but, despite its popularity with men of wealth, its personal roperty has advanced in a score of years only $700,000. It can, however, claim to have low- ered its tax rate from €13 in 1870 to $7.10 in 1890. = Bat the worst feature of Boston's lost millions is that the city is even denied the consolation of looking over the state at inrge and saying in the cold comfort of bereavement: “What is Boston's lows is Massachusett’s gain,” WHAT THE STATE LOSES. The state loses as wellas the city. It loses for purposes of taxation just what personal property disappears from the assessors’ books in Boston and fails to reappear on the tax dup- licates of the towns to which these migratory citizens go. ‘The inequality of public burdens h ro- sults from this loss of personal property is one that ought to move the individual and the pub- lic conscience. It is dufticult for the plain cit zen, who is taxed for every dollar his little homo is worth, to understand by what rule of ethics learned, distinguished and even philanthropic men deliberately shirk their share of legitimate public expenses, often those which their own votes ha e helped to incur. It is perhaps not too much to hope that the moralist ot the next century will have attained #0 mach clearer view of human rights that he will regard the nineteenth century tax dodger's eccentricities of conscience as we esteem the thrift of those Bostonians who 100 years ago were growing rich in the slave trade. A FORM OF SLAVERY. Indeed, Chief Justice Doe of New Hampshire bas set forth in an elaborate legal opinion the principle that to take by unequal taxation the property of one man_ to pay the taxes of an- other is only modified form of human slavery. ‘A REMEDY. How to remedy this evil, whose monstgous injustice grows more and more apparent as great fortunes multiply and grow larger, is o question that disturbs Boston. Mayor Henry Winn of Walden is an able writer and thinker on taxation. He appeared before a committee of the legislature Legal cterran dg plan of tax evasion restoring tax equali- zal (1.)

The intense cold weather of the past week is causing mach inconvenience in this section, and should it continue much longer will be a serious drawback to all branches of business, The county mills which depend on water for a} motive power have stopped running on account he ice, and many public roads are so block- aded with snow drifts as to be impassable to vehicles, All kinds of farm stock not closely housed ard well fed are suffering, as is also wild game of all kinds, ‘The regular qnarterly meeting of Montgom- ery County ¢ Xo. 7, will be held at Brighton on the 26th instant.

Bond, the colored man confined in the jail at this place under sentence of death for the murder of Margaret Cephas, colored, stfil main~ ins a stolid indifference, although the time or his execution has been fixed for a day dur- ing next month. Many persons who have coi versed with him since his conviction have come to the conclusion that he is of such a low order j of intellect as to be almost irresponsible. A petition to the governor asking for a commuta- | | tion of his sentence to lite imprisonment has for some time been in circulation here, and has received a number of signatures, ‘The cireum- ances of the murder were so atrocious that ay decline to sign the petition, thinking he richly deserves the extrome penalty of the law.

A detachment of gomrades of Post 42, G.A.R., reached the house shortly after the private funeral exer- cises. ‘Their standards were draped and the banner of the post, bearing a portrait of the dead com- mander, was also in mourning. Col. Dimon, who hus charge of the arrangements for the faneral, was in command. Comrades bore the body from the house to a hearse drawn by four horses.

When the crowd was admitted to the hall they almost carried the doors off their hinges. ‘They struggled upstairs, and bowled over the police who tried to restrain them. Shouts and cries awoke the echoes of the hall where the dead man lay. Huntington Hall, whenever Gen. Butler ppeared there in life, saw tur- bulent scenes, but those of yesterda ything ever seen before at theold hall. he streets thousands pressed forw: saw the doors open, All th ‘ternoon a teady stream of peoplo poured in, but the crowds that wanted to get in did not diminish, ‘The exit was on Shattuck street, and a stream of people poured through that door. Noimprossion could be made in the mass that clamored for admission at the other side of the hall. Late in the afternoon the doors were closed, and the officers had an hour's rest. It was designed to close the hall at 5 o'clock until this morning, but at 6 o'clock they were opened again. ‘This time the people were beaten into lines, and more order was maintained up to 11 0 clock, when the final closing was made. Hundreds left the pas without getting in, and others, who wanted to get out of the jam, were forced to wait and be swept into the hail by the stream. ‘The preparations are for a great event, greater than Lowell has ever witnessed. Last night the police force was increased, a about forty firemen assisted.
