THE GROWTH OF TAXES.


The great and growing cost Of Gov
eminent IS becoming a question Of
grave Importance to the people Of the
United States, At a time when, with
the natural expansion OF population,
and consequently Of local business and
wants, our municipal, county and State
expenses are steadily increasing, 1t be-
comes US to watch the inroads of ex-
traTagance IN the National Govern
ment, which threatens, when combined
with local taxation, to transform the
United States from one Of the cheapest
governments to live under to one Of the
dearest.-Chicdg0 Tribune. J
That taxes Of all kinds have, during
the present generation, increased much
more rapidly than population. is a fact
as startling as it 10 unquestionable.
That We cannot 60 on THUS forever,
quadrupling taxes while only doubling
population, is a self-ev:dent PROPOSE
ton. We must stop somewhere, the
sooner the better, and an impression is
gaining fast hold among the people
that right now is the best time to be.
gin. The line marked out by the Ten.
nessee Democracy last summer, and
the resulting legislation reducing
our State expenses. to a material
extent is at once an example and
a proof that the good work
can be successfully inaugurated even
now. 1t indicates the mode Of doing
so and also the political party that is
willing and able to undertake the Job.
Republicanism has been promising re-
form for years, and has made some eff
forts of late in that direction; but,
though its very existence depended on
the result, 1t has failed most ignobly.
A practical people will not be slow to
profit by these practical facts, now
that attention TO the matter has been
forced on them by prolonged financial
and Industrial depression.

An IRISH GHOST STORY.

A supernatural incident is said to have
occurred in the wilds of Kerry short time
since. 1t seems that a woman residing in
GleDfesk received a call from the spirit of
her husband, a ''man of the farming class,
dressed in shrouG, and white stockings
and gloves The farmer in white gloves
stated that since his death, some months
back, although he ought to be in Heaven,
he was detained elsewhere ON account Of
owing sum Of Els to friends of his, and
begged Of his wife to give him The money.
The woman in full faith handed him, f 10,
and promised to give him the rest in a few
days If he came for il. Meanwhile she
went and told the priest the circumstances
Of the case, and this gentleman, seeing the
fraud, mode proper arrangements for deal
Ing with the pOacher Of :he ecclesiastical
manor. When the ghost, in complete burial
costume, arrived for the bank note, he was
Al once received by a couple of police, and
proved, as ghosts DO in our day, to be a
mere pretender. He will now have 10 an
Swer for his misconduct before a magis-
trate.

THE Radicals of Cincinnati, in their
desperate efforts to elect the circus
clown John Robinson Mayor of that
CITY, tried to shift the issue from polit-
ical to religious grounds in a manner
worthy Of Know. Nothing times. AS
examples, take the following two para
graphs from the Cincinnati Gazette on
the morning of the election:
We seek no religious contest through
the ballot-box, but when any church,
or sect, or Pope, or potentate seeks to
subordinate the State to the Church IN
this country through the Democratic
party, or any other party, we object,
we resist, and call upon the people to
put down any such movement.
RoMANo-DEMoCRATIC TREASON
The Democratic party, long the secret
helper of the Church of Rome IN its
conspiracy againstOUr liberties, is now
It's open ally. 1t has sold American
principles for Papal support, and has
gained 1t, for the present at least.
If, after such arguments" as these,
the bulk of Catholic voters cast their
ballots against the Republican ticket,
the managers of that party have no.
body to blame but themselves.

TIE NUTMEG STATE

Democrats have become accustomed
to it and bear their honors neekly,
knowing that Democratic successes are
the order of the day hencefortb, and
studying to deserve them, rather than
waste breath and energy in growing
over a demoralized adversary. The
drawn battle of New Hampshire gave
the Republicans some hope for retriev-
ing their fortunes, and not a few hide
p9ndents who had inclined to Democ-
racy, mounted the fence again to see
which way the Connecticut cat would
jump. The State has been a close one
for years, and in this corrupt age all
things are thought possible to those
who hold the purse strings. During
the past month Connecticut has been
flooded with Republican money, Fed
eral ofice-holders in that and other
States around being mulcted for
C campaign funds. 1t was with
this view, doubtless, that the
managers nominated Hundred Guns
Greene" and endorsed the Grant Ad-
ministration, but it makes the result all
the more significant. The Democrats
elect their Governor by an increased
majority, retain control Of the Legisla-
tire, and gain two Congressman. This
has been done on a fuller vote than at
the last election, so that Republican
absenteeism is not the cause. At the
same time the Prohibition vote has
been lighter, and nearly all who aban-
dOned that cause voted with the Re-
publicans. Yet the Democrats re-
elected their State officers, Ingerson
lsading with a majority of $500,
whereas he carried the last election by
only 1909. After full trial the De-
mocracy appealed for a popular en-
dOrsement Of their old ticket, and the
people responded IL fuller numbers.
At the same time We gain two Con-
gressmen, the defeat of Jos. Hawley
being the more significant as
he is a man OF great ability
and has been playing the role of
Conservative Republican. In another
way, the reelection to Congress Of the
Democrat Barnum is equally remarka-
bic, that gentleman being accused of
doing absolutely nothing during his
previous four terms, having been in his
seat only ten days in all during the late
session, and known as a chronic alb
sentee. Yet the people of his district
seem to regard a Democratic mummy
as better than a Radical mischief
maker. Reviewing the result, it would
seem that the Republicans, becoming
satisfied they could not carry the Gov
ernorsnip, and the next Congress being
hopelessly Democratic, turned all their
energies at the last moment, to the
Legislative ticket, gaining few men,
bers by swapping votes.

sary, can be fully and successfully carried
out.
We have a strong faith that we shall get
that cooperation. The State has at least
done part. She has appointed an officer
whose duty it is, under the bill, to devote
all his energies 10 devising ways and means
to accomplish the WOrk-authOlized him 10
solicit the aid and cooperation Of all in
terested. She has appointed an advisors
board, who are to see that the means raised
are accounted for and properly applied.
Now, we know that the press will aid.
We have already an earnest Of this in the
liberal proposal Of the Rural Sun Publish
ing Company to give in their advertising
columns all the property listed one inser-
ton free. This is equal to at least a dona-
tiOn Of $1,000 to the office, as it will be a
strong inducement to real estate agents and
owners to list, for they get the worth of
their money In advertising at home, be-
sides the far extended circulation in the
land register. And We have no doubt the
rest Of the press will all, TO the extent Of
their ability, aid in circulating the infor-
nation impaired.
We feel sure every railroad company in
the State will come up with a liberal con-
tribution TO aid the work, and will also
give the Commissioner free transportation,
and thus cut down expenses. They are
now giving special low rates 70 Immigrants
and prospecting parties coming into the
State. We feel sure Of the help of all the
real estate agents and associations in the
State, and they cOuld well afford to
lake a small percentage of the COM
mission they receive on sales made
through the aid Of the Commissioner, and
devote the same to the State fund to keep
the work going. All who have lands to sell,
or investments 20 offer, will have the
strongest inducement to list and pay their
fee, for in no other way could they get so
much eifectual ayertising for the money.
In few days all the arrangements will
be completed, aud the Commissioners
Office fully organized, when we will issue
sheet giving full particulars and sugges-
lions.
We will lay before the people plans
which, We feel satisfied, will convince all
that we can and will carry out the full
programme, and have our special repre-
sentative al our great financial centre and
seaport.
In the meantime we ask our friends to
be patient till our plans are fully matured.
we will take it as special favor il the
papers Of the State will copy this article,
and get the subject before the people, send
ing marked copy to the Commissioner.
Remember now is the golden Oportunity
for our State; this is no private enterprise,
but something in which all are interested.

Commissioner Of immigration.

THE JAPANESE.

The subjoined translation from an
editorial in a leading Japanese Journal
is full of practical good sense, worthy
of a nation of much higher civiliza.
ton. The growing commerce between
Japan and our Pacific States and thus
with the Union, causes an increasing
interest in the progress of that peculiar
people. We quote:
Many among us are DESTROYS that our
civilization should take equal rank with
that of Europe and America. But, as
our country is poor and the people are
ignorant, we must first promote agri-
culture, so that the land should yield
more abundantly. We should promote
commerce. We should promote the ed
ucation of our children and compel
the indolent to be industrious; and
when all this has been done It will be
time to talk about rivalry with
foreign countries. But our scholars
who desire all these changes immedi-
ately are ike those who would set a
child to hard laOOr, or who imagine
that the poor should abound in luxury
like the rich. We do not mean to say
that we are in the same condition as we
were several years ago. But, as we
have said before, the first and most i'm
portant thing to be done is to build
schools, and to secure the diffusion Of
useful knowledge among the people;
then to make an advance IN commerce
and agriculture, so as not to be deco
rating the outside only and doing so
much expensive work IN vain. Our
scholars of European science ought to
be assisting both the Government and
the people This is the manner in
which they viii best show their patri-
otism. And we entreat them, too, to
have little more patience, and to cool
their ambition that all these changes
should occur at once. Let them pre-
pare the way for them, so that when
they come We may be ready for them
and they may be really to our profit.
