A Tax LIS a Tax.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
The people should not forget that a
tax is a curse. The United States is
spending S267 100000 year, and that
money must be raised or that expense
lessened. A cloud of pension lawyers
and host of demagogues surround the
treasury. hammering on the doors with
their leathern tongues, urging a levy of
$500, ,000, 900 for pensions alone.
Whether there be free trade or a Chi
nese wall. there will still be tax of at
least S267.000,000. The Chinese wall
simply affords the easiest way to collect
the most Onerous tax. The producer
pays the bill, whatever it is, under all
systems. Z
In England twenty articles are SUBJ
Ject to duties. The rich and well-tO-do
pay the rest of the levy-S425, 600, ,OOO-
by licenses, stamps, fees and various
direct tax payments. But in the end
the workers bear the whole burden.
The tenant pays his landlord enough
money to leave some for the tax. But
the subsidies made possible by the
American tariff on 1900 articles are in
England restricted to twenty articles,
on which the internal tax often equals
the external, as was the case in Amer
lea on the 1000 articles in war times.
America raises 5000, ,0OO,OO by tariffs.
This the producers pay, and with it a
billion of protection" Whether the
upper classes of England can keep a
billion out Of the tax money paid to
them for the government, the Herald
Will leave any reader to Judge.

CORRECTIONS AND CHARITIES
The Proceedings Yesterday at the
Buffalo Meeting.

BUFFALO, July S.-The Sunday even
ing conference of the Charities and Cor
reetion society was opened with prayer
by Rev. DR.. Hiscox, chaplain of the
Michigan state prison, after which
duet was sung by Messrs. Hager
and Goyer, with Miss Blanca
Fleischman as accompanist. A Scripture
lesson appropriate to the occasion
followed, the passage chosen being
those which relate to prison experience
and blessednesS of visiting those who
are behind the bars. Rev. Frederick
III. Wines, chairman of the committee
on prison discipline opened the topic of
the evening by reading brief report.
The committee does not claim that all
prisoners can be reformed, but
they do contend that in many
instances conscience will be awak-
ened and manhood may be restored.
All prison officials who have gone about
the work of reformation in earnest have
fallen short of their ambitions largely
because they have to contend first of all
against an antagOnistic public senti-
ment. The Rev. DR.. Byers, of Colum-
bus, o., was the next speaker. He said
that one of the obstacles lying in the
way of prison reform, through the adj
ministration of prison discipline, is the
highly cultivated faculty of deceit in
old offenders.

ELKINs SAID 1T.

Honorable Steve's Reliability.

Pointed Attention Called to the
Honorable Steve's Reliability.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-"Oh yes,"
smiled Captain Hassler, of West Vir-
ginia, the appointment-clerk of the de-
partment of the interior. ''Oh yes, the
Republicans will carry West Virginia
this year, and do it easily; for Steve
Elkins has said it. He is always reliable.
He is the man who said that Blaine
could carry New York without the
aid of Conkling, and his friends.
He is the same Stevey who assured
confiding country that West Virginia
would give Blaine and Logan 10000 ma
jority in 1884. Yes, boys, he is the same
Stevey who recently assured a great
party that Blaine would be renominated
at Chicago. He is just reliable enough
to predict that West Virginia will be
Republican this year. But don't put
any OF your good money on the result,
because El1ins occasionally miscalcu-
lateS." The genial captain smiled as he
added, barring Elkin's prediction, which
L do not like to contradict, I think it
would be safer to bet that Cleveland and
Thurman will have about 1000 majority
ence to New Jersey politics, with which
he is also quite familiar, Capt. Hassler
says: while figuring out Republican
success in New Jersey, please bear
in mind that John Roderick Nc
PherSon wants New Jersey to
go Democratic this year. Why?
Because he wants to be reelected to the
United States senate. Although strong
and active Democrat anyway,it is fair to
presume that, under the circumstances,
Senator Mcpherson will put forth all of
his energies with redoubled vigor.
When he does that, you may as we'll
cOncede the state to the Democrats. Fact
is, don't see where the Republicans
can see any hope before 'em."

THE BEAUTIFUL.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal paneS where earth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministry to and fro
Down lowliest ways if God wills it SO.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of hOmely care
With patience, grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight at set OF sun,
Beautiful goal, with race well run,
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful grave where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie
deep,
Over worn-out hands-oh, beautiful sleep!

ries or the lawyers be influenced or
prejudiced in their minds by the race or
color of either the criminal or victim.
Female virtue is respected in all civil
lied countries and by all civilized peo-
pie. A colored woman's honor is as
sacred as white woman's, and if it is
violated the white man is just as ready
and eager to infiict the full penalties of
the law upon the violator as those of
his own color could possibly be. What
ever social differences may exist be-
cen the whites and the blacks, there
can be no race distinctions when it

What Reed Says.

IFIGNCOt RtglSter.
Maj. Strait. at Red Wing, during recess
of the convention, came up to Capt. Reed, with
sardonic smile, and said Captain, wish
nomination" and then resumed his plotting
with his eighteen delegates to compass the
captains defeat. The major is SLY old vii
lain. He endeavored to cover up his tracks,
but the cloven foot was too visible. He as
sured the captain he was not candidate, and
did not want the nomination, but refused to
withdraw his name, and did not withdraw it,
although his delegates went over to Mr.. Hall.
The major will find himself to be dead cock
in the pit should he ever attempt to come up
for Office again. We admire honesty in poll
tics. even in a Democrat, but abhor deceit
and treachery in pretended friends.

UNNECESSARILY EXCITED.

In a spirit of Indignation, and with
possibly some reason for it, the colored
people of this city held mass meeting
in the district court room yesterday, to
take action with reference to a heinous
crime alleged to have been committed
against a colored woman on the West
side few days ago. Judging from the
resolutions that were passed and the re-
marks that were made in the meeting,
our colored friends proceeded upon the
theory that the element of color would
enter into the prosecution, and in conse-
Quence there would be unfair discrimi-
nation in ascertaining the degree of
crime. if a crime had been committed.
1t is somewhat singular that such
feeling Of apprehension should exist
among the colored. people dwell
ing in the northernmost state of
the Union, and a Republican
state at that, but it is probably the nat
ural result of that race jealousy which
is just as likely to exist in northern lati-
tudes as in southern. In this case, how
ever, we imagine that our colored peo-
pie are excited without cause. There is
no necessity for .any eXtra-judi-
cial action nor any reason why
an effort should be made to
work up public sentiment in
that direction. Our courts are open
