they are pers:stently used it is logical
inference that the Que to whom they
are applied is smaller than the position
he occupies.
Nevertheless, the whole question OF
propriety turns upon the point as to the
circumstances under which q public
mans title or Christian name Is drop
ped. 1t would be manifestly disrespect-
full to address the President by bis sur
name if he were present. 1t would be
in bad taste to do so in the Senate or
House of Representatives. Itwillsound
little abrupt to do so in any company
or under any circumstances so long as
q man is alive and occupying his office
or position. ~ .f-s .
Ii is only when msn has passed
from the stage of action and his name
has become histOric-when the public
has become so familiar with him by
long association, that he is, so to speak,
an old acquaintance, that the propriety
Of dropping the Christian name or title
is no longer a questiOn-it is a right, a
privilege which everybody feels author
lied to use, just as every individual falls
into the habit with his best friend. And
the public acts toward its public men
very much as do individuals toward
their acquaintance and associates.
Every man knows when to use the sur
name Of his acquaintance. He has an
inward sense of the propriety or i'm
propriety Of it. 1t depends upon the
degree of familiarity existing between
them. 1t may become breach of pro-
priety for him to use more than the
surname. And il is exactly similar in
the case of the public. When a public
man becomes fairly adopted by the peO-
pie, so that everybody recognizes his
name as an old acquaintance it is rather
a mark of respect, than otherwise, that
he should be referred 70 by his sur
name alone.

ORR STATE TAXES AND REVENUES.

If the Republicans of West Virginia
should ever again be invested with the
responsibility ofadministerlng the gov
eminent of the State, it will doubtless
he brought about by an Overweening
curiosity of the people TO see how they
would DO it-how they would manage
to raise the revenues without any taxes,
any assessments, any bOthering of the
people with such things.
1t would be another such instance as
that of BEN. BUTLER in Massachusetts,,
who had aspired so often and so per-
sistently to the governOrship that the
people finally elected him out of Curl
Osity to know what he would do with it.
When the State revenues are not
sufficient the organs cry for an increase
of taxation. When the Legislature pro-
posed to increase the tax levy five cents,
they cried out for forty cents. After
the five cents increaSe~was made they
trumpeted the fact all over the State
a. an example of Bourbon eXtrava-
gance.' When a reaSsessment was or
dered in order to equalize the tax bur-
den and make all property bear its
proper proportion, this was also decried
as another measure to increase taxa
ton. They want an increase of tax and
they don't want it. They want equal
taxation. but they denounce all meas
ures to equalize it. You'll be damned
if you do, and be damned if you DON'T"
seems to be the only quarter they offer.
Ii becomes a matter of curiosity
therefore to know how critical, dis
satisfied party would undertake to pro-
vide for the expenses of the Govern
ment if they neither favor equal and
uniform taxation or any Of the Ordin-
AIRY and approved methods Of the
States for collecting revenues.
West Virginia is a rich, prosperous
and promising State. Her people are
thrifty, economical and conservative.
Her government is administered on
the same plan and principles of the
individual affairs of her people. There
is no extravaganza, no lavish appropri-
alton of public funds, no power, ex-
cept in the people themselves, to use
the revenues for any other than the
ordinary expenses of the State, there
are no jobs and no charge or suspicion
of the misuse of the public funds.
We have been administering the gov
eminent of West Virginia on a lower
rate of taxation than almost any other
State in the Union. We have been do
ing this too, under most defective and
inefficient tax system. We have not
been receiving more than twO-thirds
the amount of revenue to which the
State is entitled under the tax rate. In
consequence of these defects and def
Ciencies this rich and prosperous State
is subjected to the notifying spectacle
of having its Governor running about
every year To borrow few thousand
dollars to meets its liabilities.
An honest effort is being made to re-
form our tax laws, and to equalize the
burden without increasing the rate, so
that it will not bear unequally or harsh-
ly upon any class or individual. Yet
the organs discuss these measures as
though they believed the people of
West Virginia were so picayune and
puSiiauimOus in their character as to be
intluesced by no other and no higher
motive than the most sOrdid idea of a
tax rate.

THE VIRGINIA TIDE TURNING.

"The Democrats are jubilsnt over the
results of the elections of Thursday"
says the Richmond Dispatch. "The
MahOnites see the handwriting on the
wall"
This seems to be the accepted verdict
on the Virginia elections, although the
Readjusters are making extraordinary
efforts to appear satisfied.
1t is wisely said by the New York
Times that "a movement such as has
been under the strenuous direction of
MALONE camnOt stand still. Ii il does
not make Roadway, il is pretty sure to
decline, and there is certainly no
indication of progress in the local
contest. MALONE has had the
advantage of possessing the State
Administration and the use
of Federal patronage, and in many
counties he has also had the local Office
holders under his control. Whatever
may be said to qualify the significance
Of these elections, there is no doubt that
they Were regarded in advance as of no
small Importance, and great efforts were
made on the part Of the Readjusters to
secure favorable results. NOtwith-
standing their advantages and their
efforts there has clearly been a falling
off in their relative strength and a gain
on the side of the Democrats.
Among the significant facts is the
alliance of straight-out Republicans in
some counties with the regular Democ-
racy and the Democratic gains in Sec
tons where the cOlored vote is large.
The coalition is obviously less complete
and less coherent than it was last year.
The use of patronage, the resort to ille-
gal assessments upon office holders, and
the cOerciye tactics Of the "bOss' sys-
tenn have proved comparatively ineffec-
tive. With the settlement OF the debt
question, which seems to be very gen.
orally accepted in Virginia as final, the
Readjusters lost their issue. 1t was a
bad one at best, but it gained support
in community infected with the spirit
of Reputation. Since it has been settled
the Malone party has become pre-emi-
nently party of spoils, and has been
completely dominated by boss tactics.

Those who have been looking out for
points of Western journalism in the
new New York World have discovered
that Mr.. PULILzER is guilty of the ion
propriety Of speaking of the President
OF the United States as "ARTHUR."
On the other side Of the question it is
asked whether it is in bad taste to speak
of WASHINGTON, or JEFFERSON, or
GLADSTONE, or BISMARCK? On the
contrary, that is the accepted style Of
referring to them. When a man is so
distinguished by position or attain
ments that the public know who is
meant by the mere mention of his
name, it is not only net in bad taste to
simply use that name, but it. is an
acknowledgment of the distinction, as
when We speak Of CARLYLE, EMERSON,
IoNGFELLOw. The omission of titles
beightens the distinction, and when
