THREE NOTABLE WOMEN.

Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, Ada ReIian
and Greeiey's Daughter Gabrielle.
Mrs. Sylvanus Reed showed herself
n shrewd woman when she secured
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland's
services as associate principal of her
school. The Presidents sister has
dropped as completely out of newspa-
per mention as if she had never pre-
sided in the White House, but her
name still has power in the select cir
cles from which private school pupils
come. In spite of her school-room
duties Miss Cleveland is seen very
frequently in the quieter gatherings
of society. She is as pronounced
a blonde as her brother. Her
eyes are blush gray, and
the very best of New York dress
makers do full justice to her graceful
figure. In class she is always very
quietly dressed, but there as elsewhere
she gives the impression Of woman
OF position, or as an enthusiastic pu-
pill puts 1t, "a queen every inch of
her." Miss Cleveland, to casual OBJ
server, looks as though she had bet
ter stuff in her brain than she has
ever succeeded in getting into her
books.
An interesting couple cross the
Hamilton ferry at the same hour
every Monday morning. Passengers
seldom fail to notice the pleasant
faced elderly woman and the fine
looking daughter who attends to every
want so carefully. When the
New York side is reached the
two pass out to the street to-
gether, stand q minute in converse
tion and then the elder enters the
ferry house to go back to Brooklyn,
while the younger goes up town.
This is side OF Ada Rehan's life that
few people know. She is warmly at
tached to her quiet little mother, who
lives in South Brooklyn, and spends
every Sunday with her, the mother
going a piece" as the saying is, with
her on her return to her theatre life
as leading lady at Daly's, in the
morning.
The only surviving daughter of
Horace Greeley is almost as striking
figure as was Greeley himself. Miss
Gabrielle Greeley is woman past
her first youth, She must be hard
upon 80, but there is an electric force
about her, splendid vitality which
perpetually renews and multiplies its
charm. She is seen often this winter
in company with Miss Siddons, a
granddaughter, or great granddaugh-
ter, of the magnificent Sarah, who
has made successful debut as q
reader at private entertainments IN.

"How many languages do you speak

INTERNAL REVENUE TAXES.
Only to be Resorted TO In Times of
Great National Emergencies.

Only to be Resorted TO in Times of
Great National Emergencies.
The policy of this country from the
first, says the Boston Commercial
Bulletin, has been to leave all internal
taxation to the States. No internal
tax was levied at first, but the import
tax being insufficient, Hamilton re-
luctantly urged a tax on distilled
spirits which Congress levied, after
bitter fight in 1871. 1t is stated that
one object which Hamilton had in
the passage of this act was to demon
strate the power of the new National
Government. At JefTerson's recon-
mendation the odious act was repealed
in lSO2, but was again resorted to in
another form in the war times of
1912. In 1917 the law was repealed,
and from 1918 to 1861 no internal
tax was in operation under
United States law. The traditional
policy of the fathers has been to
resort to internal taxation only in
times of eXigency. They ought to be
the first taxes to be RENTED in the
palmy days of Treasury surplus, if
such action can be taken without
harm to society. The tobacco tax
should go and the tax on alcohol used
in the arts should go. 1t is IL question
whether or not the cause of temper
ance would not be best served by
taking off the tax on alcohol alto.

ions for keeping absolute sovereignty
out of his hands and leaving all rul
ing power with agents who can be
held to prompt and strict account.
The whole trend of British precedent
is in line with the Interpretation of
the veto power that we would like to
have had put upon our Constitution.
Since the days of Macauley and
Burke, the two English authorities
quoted by the Court, the advance of
that line of precedent has proceeded
far. 1t is very questionable if any
authority of these latter Victorian
days could be found who would con-
cede SO much to prerogative as those
former eminent authorities. And
should Queen Victoria go the way of
all flesh without having ever exercised
"the naked right of Veto" nobody
will dare contend that such right
will not have been forever buried
with her. In this connection it may
be said that the anecdote of Glad

had been published in several papers
with credit to Temple Bar, a we'll
known London periodical. British
precedent and the intent of the Ha-
waiian Constitution, as we perceive
the latter, run very much in parallel
lines. But with the Constitution as
we must now abide by it, the King is
clothed with power that the British
sovereign-according to the Courts
citations-can only WELD at the risk
of civil war.

opinion that, as the Chinese can
never be incorporated as part of our
nationality, their presence amongst
us is a danger to the common veal Of
the Caucasian races in these lands"
Another Colonial paper indicates
where the chief difficulty lies in the
Colonies, or any of the British pos
sessions, in the following words !:
"Our last war with China cost
Britain six millions, and China as
much. The result was that China
opened twenty-five Treaty ports to
commerce, and admitted the English
into the country on the condition
that her people were to enjoy equal
right with other nations in the Brit
ish dominions. The trade of those
treaty ports with Great Britain and
the Colonies at present amounts to
f40,000,000 year, and IS increasing
enormously. Great Britain has,
moreover, just completed a new
treaty of friendship with China. for
the opening of trade via Burmah and
Thibet, which means big thing in a
few years. Well, if the British colo
MES adopt such a measure of hos
tility against the Chinese, China will
be perfectly justified in abrogating
all her treaties with Great Britain
and kicking every Englishman out of
the Empire and shutting up the
treaty ports. Especially as China
would most likely freeze on to Rus
STA, and give her the whole benefit of
her maritime position in the Pacifc?"
