MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
A Few Words About Capital and Taxes Il
Our Sister Republic,


Our Sister Republic,
A leading Mexican statesman esti.
mates the uninvested capital here in tho
City of Mexico alone at S50,00O,000, a
sum big enough to have built the Cen.
trail Railway and left enough to drain
the valley of Mexico in the most thor
ough manner and after the oostliest
plans. All through the large cities of
the republic this strange fact appears
again and again, the actual possession
OF large sums with no disposition to in
vest. This lack Of the desire to coop
crate, to get up stock companies for the
development Of the National resources,
may be attributed to several causes. We
know that in Spain, from which country
Mexico has inherited some very bad
financial traditions, the spirit of CO.
operation does not exist, and that
Spanish railways, mines and banks
IRE largely owned by English and
other foreign capitalists. do not
assert this as an absolutely universal
fact, but admit cheerfully that some
Spaniards have genius for business,
as the commercial success OF many OF
them here shows Enthusiastically. But
in Spain it is still quite the correct
thing 10 do ones own banking, and
to make ones deposit in strong box or
under the tiled floor.
Then another bad legacy from Spain
to Mexico is the absurd taxation system,
which has for its aim to hit every dol
lar in process of transfer in trade,
and knock bit out of it as percent
age for the Federal, State or munich
pal Government. Land is insufficient
ly taxed, houses are not taxed as they
should be, but the burden rests on i'm
ported goods, and on sales of mer-
chandise and country produce. The
man rich in lands and estates gets
of with q comparatively light bur-
den. Hero in the City of Mexico,
stores and houses arc not taxed only
when rented. That is, the lease has
to pay certain percentage monthly
to the municipal Government. What
is the resultp That rents are extor-
biOtlutOy lOE Ilic luuuiUlu Wlbi dii OHippJ
house or store only loses the interest on
his investment when his premises are
vacant and has no taxes to pay until a
tenant comes along. Naturally, the
landlord is stiff in his prices. These
high rents add materially to the cost OF
living here, and l should estimate that
maintaining household at this capital
is thirty-throe per cent. more expensive
than in Boston. There is abundant
room in the Valley of Mexico for town
sites for delightful suburbs, but
the suburban towns are few and
the city landlords have the whip in
their hands. Rents have materially adj
vanced since the completion of the Cen.
tral Railway, for the railway "boom''
gave the city real estate owners highly
inflated idea of the value of the proper
tics. They haven't got over that notion
yet.
When Mexican gets rich about all he
can do with his money is either to build
and rent houses and stores, or become q
usurious money-lender, the latter an oc-
cupation which, thanks to the improve
dence of many of the people, pays well

floor.

"What do you meanp'

"I'm uckW-though he

"Why, Windsor, she's all the comfort
l have. She positively makes holiday
out oiit-talks of light housekeeping in
two rooms, and of-giving art lessons.
She has all the pluck! am the baby"
and lie quite broke down.
Others coming in interrupted. When
once more alone Windsor began with
somewhat awkward hesitation.
brigham, you know I've always said
said man was-was q fool to marry!

Brigham interrupted him with flash
of anger. "See here, Windsor, l want
none Of that! If you have any of your
cursed philosophy to apply to this casc
please bcstow it on the man who, from
the first, deliberately and persistently
and with full knowledge lived beyond
his incomc!'
"But-but," protested Windsor.
you've always croaked, Windsor.
You set me down as fool, and st. Ieger

seemed only ludicrous, bat now that it is

while Brigham turned from red to white

fide in you something regarding myself.

the wrath showed signs of further elfer'
vescence.
Brigham shut his lips with a black
scowl. Windsor continued: II wanted
to say that, though l have rallied good
deal about womcn-about MARRIAGE
am-woll-I am, that is, propose ia
marry myself"
Brigham stopped short in his excited
pacing; his face relaxed, broke into a
wondering smile, and then into broad
laughing-in short, into q genuine,
hearty, old-fashioned outlaw, St. Leger,
happening just then to push open the
door, come upon an errand of condo
lence, was amazed. 1t took some time
before Brigham could find voice to say;
"St. Leger-think of it! o, Jovel
what a state Of things!" Then more
laughter.
"Are you demented, Brighamp Your
troubles have turned your head"
mo, I'm not dcmented. There's the

A curious fact is that although the
lynching of Henry Mason (coloreD re-

ley, is the first occurrence of the kind IN
Campbell County, the very name Of
"lynch law" was derived from native
Of that county, old Colonel Lynch, who
was in the habit of administering sum-
mary punishment to marauders and
miscreants of every description without
paying any attention to the ordinary
processes Of law. Hence he was called
