The New York Sun calls attention
to the fact that the negro voters hold
the balance of power in the States Of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
DIANA and Connecticut. That is to
say there has not been an election car
ried by the republican party in any Of
these five States during the past three
years which would not have been lost
had the negro voters voted the demo-
cratic ticket.

Thar taxation for the benefit Of the
Federal government is much too heavy
and ought TO be reduced, the following
from the New York Herald abundant.
ly proves: An analysis of the national
debt as prepared shows il amounts to
1854, III, 727, on which the annual in.
terest charge is SOL, 436,709. As the
estimated population Of the country on
July LIST was somewhat more than
54,OO0,0OO, the debt per capita is
S2S.4l, and the interest charge only
80 cents. There is no other nation
outside of the despotisms of the east
that can show such relatively light
burden Of debt. Ifevery man, woman
and child we're 10 set aside each day
the sum Of nine cents, al the end of
one year fund sufficient to discharge
the whole debt would be collected.
But there is another side of this ques.
ton. Since 1866. when the debt had
reached its highest point, s2.779, 1885,
1850, more than sSS9, 900, 900 of the
principal Of the debt has been redeem
ed, and interest charges amounting in
all to sl,SO5. 139, 1905 have been
paid, in addition to all the current ex.
penses of the government, which have
been by no means small, and of late
years have embodied much waste and
extravaganza. Have not the present
generation paid their share Of the debt,
and is il wise TO continue high war
taxes in time of peace1 AS it is
now, the only way to dispose of the
surplus revenue is to apply it to re.
ducing the debt, unless Congress
throws it away on jobs. Why not
abolish the surplus revenue2

The worst part of the telegraph
strike, says an exchange, is that am
bilious men, anxious for further
strengthening the arm of Federal
power, may make use of this trouble
to urge the building of a government
line, or find some way to get control
of the Geographic interest OF the coun-
try, ostensible as a protection to the
people from the exactions of monop.
oily, but really to use it for political
purposes. With such a scheme as
this, sensible people should have moth
ing to do. The control of the COM
mercial and private business Of the
country is the legitimate province and
right of the people, and no man who
values his privileges as citizen should
countenance any such extensions of
the covering function. The govern
ment has plenty to do within the
legitimate sphere of its operations, and
there is neither necessity nor wisdom
in allowing ambitious men to contem-
plate new fields of conquest.
