ANOTHER shipwreck is to be added
to the long list of marine casualties
ut Columbia river bar. Dispatches
from Astoria, Of the 10Th inst, state
that the ship McNear, Capt. VIM.
Taylor, dragged her anchor and
drifted below Tillamook Spit, on the
Washington Territory side. About
two weeks ago this ship came across
the bar in good condition and was
waiting fair wind to take her up to
Astoria. She came from Hong
Kong, with a cargo of Chine Sc
goods. A portion of the cargo may
be saved, but it is supposed that tn e
ship will go to pieces. Thus, we
have recorded the loss of two valu-
able ships within a few weeks of
each other at the mouth of the Co.
1umbia.

Oppressive Taxation Of the Poor.
The above is the text Of . long
article now going the rounds of the
papers both East and West. 1t or
ignally appeared in the -A'lantic
Monthly from the pen of Brooks
Adams, and is . faithful, straight
forward showing up of the political
and civil sins now being committed
throughout tire length and breadth
Of our land. One of the most salient
points brought out by the writer is
che alarming fact that the property,
~ such, in the United States, does
not pay the taxes that annually swell
the Golfers of our revenue depart
ment. The article is the product OF
IN elaborate compilation of statistic
nj knowledge, CLEANED from about
every State and Territory in the
Union, and it should he read by every
properly owner and taxpayer in
the land who has at heart the proper
and equitable adjudication of our stu
pendous governmental affairs. The
unpleasant revelation has been made
that, snquestionably, several hun
dred millions of dollars have been
confscated solely in the interest OF
the antaxed classes through State,
municipal and individual extravag-
ance and fraud. 1t turns out that,
in the state of Massachusetts, alone,
more than fifty per cent of the voters
pay only q poll-tax. In Boston,
the number reaches as high as eigh-
ty per cent. and is still increasing.
It should be the genius of every
Christian government to encourage
the virtue of both public and private
economy among the poorer classes.
This Is one of the main-springs of a
nations perpetuity and should be
one Of the foundation principles that
actuate every true patriot and states
man. The evils to which we have
been alluding are, in the great ma
jority of cases, the direct cause OF
all the labor strikes, financial panics,
stupendous entertainments and other
similar evils that so cripple and en-
barrass our national administration.
A noted statesman. and fnancier
gives it us his opinion that no gov
eminent has any constitutional or
other right to issue non-taxable
bonds to its people. There is a vir-
tual unfairness in the very inception
of such system designed, as it
Ostenahy, is to secure and maintain
. legitimate revenue for the support
of the national commonwealth In
reviewing these =" political sins" as
taking place throughout the length
and breadth of our own country, we
are only telling the old story repeat
ed and re-repeated of other nations
of the earth now long since number
ed among the things past and for
gotten. When the people who make
mp the great sum total of our sopu-
lation learn we'll the lesson of living
within their means, then, and not
till then, we may hope to hear no
more of public and private bank
ruptcy.

ST. PAUL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 1878.
SEVEN PLIERS 4 WEEK.

THE GLOBE has made q new departure in
st. Paul journalism, by announcing its in
tention to issue paper every day in the
year. Others may follow, but they will be
merely imitaters. The GLOBE inaugurates
the system of seven papers a week, and by
this single journalistic stroke, brings this
city and State upon a par with the leading
cities of the country. We call attention to
the accomplishment of this feat at the
very outset of our enterprise, in order
to state that this is but small
portion of the journalistic development
which The GLOBE proposes to inaugurate.
This journal will continue to lead, and if the
feeble imitators only approximately follow,
they will make papers so superior to their past
efforts as to astonish the public. The hum
drum style of journalism, which lack of
competition has produced in ST. Paul, is at
an end Hereafter it is a race, with The
GLOBE always in the lead. Our would be
competitors may regard themselves fortu-
nate if they escape being distanced in every
heat

THE -HIGH sCIfOQL QUESTION,

There has been chronic agitation of the
subject of High School building in St
Paul for years. Just now little more clam
or than usual is being raised on the subject,
and 1t IS proposed to issue a large amount OF
bonds, in order to saddle the next generation,
with the expense.
There is good deal of diversity of opin-
ion relative TO the maintenance of a High
School at all, at the general expense of the
tax payers. While The GLOBE is not of those
who would abolish tbs High
School from our system, il
considers that there should be no diversity
of opinion on the subject of erecting a build-
ing at the present time. The Board of Ed
ucatlon have lease of their present quar-
tiers for three years from next April, at an an
nual rental of sixteen hundred dollars per
annun This amount the taxpayers will
have to meet,whether they occupy the prem
ises or not. If times were propitions tb;o
lease would not be an insurmountable obsta-
Gle, but when there is every occasion TO,
economy and keeping down taxation. il is q
more important question. The High School
building is matter which can wait for q
more convenient season. Not dollar Of
taxes should be levied for improvements
which can be avoided or delayed without
serious detrlment to the public interests.

And yet for all this, reverence should be
had for the morals of the people, and
public teachers should exclude all demon
alizing influences. For after all what is
this beautiful earth, with its flowers and
streams, and groves, and mountains, and
plains, unbent morality, integrity and puri-
ty. And it is by planting the hope of inn
mortality in the human heart, and regarding
this earth as the beginning of more exalted
existence, that the most effectual method is
taken to regulate the conduct and elevate the
character of mankind. Joufroy says, all
things tend to universal harmony; then there
should be no discordant elements, but all
human words, all human acts, all human
hearts should throb in harmony with the
universe of God.

THE PRESS and CHRIST, ay,rr


The words public morality would better
express the idea. The relation of the secular
and popular PRESS of the country to Chris
tlanity. or in other words, public morality.
has OF late formed the topic of impassioned
orotory from the pulpit; and the PRESS has
been denounced in no measured terms.
There can be no doubt that the criticism is.
IN measure, just. And yet it is difficult to
say, whether the press follows or manufac-
lures public opinion. The one reacts on the
other, and between the two there
is surprising scheme of adjust
ment. 1t can not be denied that a
great many newspapers go to the extreme.
and many of their publications are unfit to
enter the family. We have had of late sew
eral notable instances of this here in St.
Paul. But are not the preachers to blame,
too? Is it public taste or craving for the
sensational that demands fashionable preach
ers, sensational pulpit orators, and gorgeous
churches? Is it correct morality that revels
in Beecher's eccentricities to draw a crowd ?
Why, at this particular period, should he
have discovered that there is no hell? He
has changed his mind since that stormy
night he went forth to the cave of despair.
No, there is medium. The great dailies
