BEGGING.-Begging in America has been re-
duced to an art. The country is full of cheeky
beggars who have not openly entered the lists of
mendcancy, who are constantly plying their vo-
cation, usually by letter. We have long heard
of the manner in which wealthy people were i'm
portuned for money-the applications even TAX
ing the shape of threats of assassination, expos
ure of some alleged crime, and other forms OF
blsckmailing. Would it be supposed that Mrs.
Garfield, who is possessed Of no means, and for
whose benefit fund is being raised, would he
subjected to these begging annoyancesf 1t is
said to be even so; she is deluged with begging
letters from all classes of people, sometimes re-
ceiving as high as from sixty 10 one hundred pei
day, so that it is impossible even to read and an
swer them. Perhaps these people think that the
money is paid over to her, as fast subscriptions
are made to the fund.- and that they may as well

EMPTY CAST.-Is there not entirely too much
cant about laws being made to favor the rich
and cypress the poori The Eldorado Ifacs,
speaking of tax-paying, says that the law SIMPLY
makes it penalty TO be poor, in thatit provides
for rebate of per cent. on one-half the taxes,
if all paid at once, and imposes penalty OF per
cent. upon taxes not paid by December 2Oth.
Does not the Times know tina: this is demagog-
cry and canti 1t should be ashamed to indulge
in such stuff. If some men are rich, and Others
poor, it is the luck of the and the misfortune
of the other. The law does not reward the one
for being rich or punish the other for being poor.
1t simply offers an inducement to prompt pay
rnent of taxes and imposes a penalty for non
payment, let il strike whom it may. Fully as
many comparatively poor men as rich ones pay
up all at once and get the benefit OF the rebate.
Many rich men let their taxes run and incur the
penalty. because they can make more by the use
of their money in other ways. The collection OF
taxes by sale of real estate may as well be said
to he q penalty upon men for being poor. Ii
there were no forcible means Of collecting taxes,
precious little would be paid. Selling goods
cheaper for cash than on credit might as well be
termed a contrivance to favor the rich and op-
press the poor. because the rich afford to pay,
while the poor must sometimes have credit. Sell
ling goods at 4 discount by wholesale is another
outrage upon the poor, because they can afford
to buy only at retail, while the rich can buy at
wholesale. This tomfoolery about the rich and
the poor can be applied to every branch of busi-
ness. 1t is simply the thinnest kind of bOsh.
