BURT's DECEPTION.
The Democratic Method OF Juggling
With Figures.

Wellington K. Burt's method Of dealing
with State Taxation is so false and un-
fair that intelligent and honest men viii
disprove it with scorn when viewed in tho
light OF facts.
He compares State taxation as follows;
1885. under Alger, State taxes. l,655,36l 20
1887, under Luce, State taxes. l,950,0S5 10
Without explanation he then tries TO
alarm the people with their increasing

A Protest Against the Mantle.
nance of SectionaIism.
To the Editor of the Globe.
A late editorial in the Pioneer Press
respecting the South should have the
earnest disapprobation of every lover of
his country. In substance, it proclaims
incessant war till it surrenders to the
Republican party. The more solid the
North is in one party the better, but
unity in the South to the other is re-
bellion. 1t is such as this that has kept
a solid South over twenty years, and
will perpetuate it still with evils now
unknown: but it is too essential party
capital to be dropped, and is now an
nounced with emphasis as Republican
policy. 1t is rebellion transferred to the
North.
At the close of the war the South
made full surrender to the nation,
vowed fidelity to its constitution and
government. and those states were re-
ceived back into the Union. both parties
Dledging an equal fraternal citizenship.
But Republicans Immediately deserted
the compact, practically, and demanded
a surrender also to that party or they
should be held as rebels still. There
they stand to-day-themselves the
rebels. The war ending. they as scar
petbaggers" rushed South to seize all
civil Offices, relying on the c0lored vote
to sustain them, holding the South as
conquered province. This recklessness
and insult aroused an inevitable, bitter
alienation. 1t was in violation of the
spirit of the settlement, demonstrated
hypocrisy and made united country
impossible. Human nature made it alb

THE CAMPAIGN ORATOR.

The campaign being en- led. the gen
eral public is now in a position to judge
as to the motives that brought into the
battle so large number of young ora
tors for the Republican party. At the
time Of the contest their Wel-roundad
periods, glowing eulogies of the higl est
principles of government and rabid de-
nunciations of all that was base or low
i'll politics, seemed to the unsophisti-
Gated the highest evidence of self-sacri-
ficing devotion. They elevated these
young sprigs to pinnacleS upon which
SOCRATES or PLATO might have rested
in all justice.
Alas, for human Judgment! Alas.
for the cloak of deception that men
may wind about themselves! These
lofty sentiments, these adiectives
heaped upon adjectiveS, these fiery aD-
peals for the triumph of much-abused
Truth. were, after all. but the frame
works for hidden desires. 1t was not
that the country hung upon the preci-
pice of ruin, but that the sprig did
unless it Secured-an Office. That is the
milk in the cocoanut-the handspring
the craving that lurked behind the
nomination of HARRISON or afterwards
annihilated tariff reduction with thun-
derouS references to the sands of all
times and ages. 1t was a greed. 1t
was a covert, undetermined play upon
emotions. that in the end low desire
might be satisfied. For be it under
stood that the man who makes his party
and its principles the vehicle to carry
him to a position he cannot gain by
honest merit, is pandering to the lowest
sentiments that can move men in pub
lie life.

MORE LIGHT.

There will come day when the East,
with its plethora of wealth, will start
with terror and bow before the wrath of
an outraged West. Much as the draw
ing of sectional lines in poities is to be
deprecated, this question Of tariff re-
duction is slowly and surely forcing the
agricultural states of the Union to array
themselves against the nine naughty
and protected states. Congressman
MACDONALD, in his letter in this issue of
the GLOBE. minces no words in his def
milton of what the Republican triumph
means. With all good Democrats, he
hopes against hope that the sincere
and Intelligent element of that party
will rise superior to the Eastern die
tators and force reduction. But, III
the face OF the fact that the wealth and
backbone of the party is in the manu-
featuring centers of the East. he is
forced to the inevitable conclusion that
protection has triumphed. One sentence
in his letter is significant:
MY advices from all localities are
that doodle drought in within the last
three or four days. completed the work
and carried the day."
And that. o Brother DANA. of the
Sun, is how the West went for protec-
ton. Had principle received more con-
sideration than coin, the tale might
have been different. Let your office cat
peruse the above evidence and then
wait The West lives, and so does a

A MISTAKE.

A year ago the Democrats might have
brought in Dakota as one state, with
but two senator's. If energetic efforts
in that direction had failed the-cOuntry
would have charged the failure to the
Republicans, and escape from vulner-
able attitude would have been effected.
Now there will no doubt be two states,
with four senators, and no advantage
scored anywhere. 1t is safest on the
average to run the party wheels in the
grooves of craftsmanship, even if they
do not seem to be the most direct chan
nels of success. The four states now
clamoring for admission must be ac-
cepted, and it will be a graceful act for
the Democratic doorkeeper to do the
genuheetlng and escort the applicants
in while he is still in charge.

TO REFORM THE BALLOT.

While the objections to the present
Whiteman election law are many, due
care must be taken in amending it, OF
in the preparation of a substitute, so
that the election machinery be not more
complicated than it is now. The Rhode
Island Ballot Reform association has
placed itself squarely in favor of the
Australian system. They commend it
to the voters of that state in such strong
terms that their encomiums are worthy
OF reproduction here. The association
says of it:
The essential features of the Australian
system are:
A compulsory secret ballot
The printing and distribution of ballots at
public expense, one official ballot containing
all nom: nations made and blank spaces
which the voter can fill by writing his own
choice, voting if he chooses for one OF the
nominees by indicating his choice by X
mark.
The advantages Of these reforms are easily
seen. The objects to be secured are:
A secret ballot, cast as proposed in this
plan, interposes the most effectual preventive
of the bribery of the voter ever devised.
secret ballot secures the voter against the
coercion or undue solicitations Of Others and
enables the most dependent elector to vote
as his conscience dictates. in perfect freedom.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Miss ENDICoTT has married Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN, and Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
is welded to Miss ENDICoTr. Ordi-
narily it would be nobody'S business eX-
cept their own, and all outside remarks
or criticism would be vulgar imperti
nence. 1t SO happened, however, that
at the time of their marriage the young
bride was the daughter of an American
official in high station, and the elderly
groom was a gentleman who enjoyed
the confidence of the British govern
nent in peculiar degree; and as mat
ter of course. they are not to be eX-
empted from the penalties which public
station imposes. The result is that the
gessip-mongers on this side of the
water are making sweet morsel
of the fascinating young daughter of
the nation who has thrown away her
charms Oh equity old English gentle
man, while the interesting family of the
equity old Englishman, on the other side
OF the water. propose to make it hot for
him when he gets home with his bonnie
bride. AS Indicated above, in our opin-
ion it is nobody's business. except the
groom's and the brides, whether their
marriage is failure OF a success. Still,
as we listen to the gossip that is passed
from tongue to tongue and reflect upon
all that is being said. we wonder why it
is that station has such fascination for
young women that even the best and
brightest of them will sacrifice all the
finer sentiments of womanhood in their
eagerness to secure it. ITO be the bride
Of prince for an hour is worth more to
me than three score years and ten of
peasant life" was spoken by a German
maiden of inferior rank in justification
of her morganatic marriage. Can it be
possible that the best results of our
American culture are TO inspire similar
sentiments in the hearts Of our Ameri-
can women?

RESTING PLACE OF A POET.

Nesting amid the trees OH the gentle
slope of neighboring hill is the village
cemetery of Roslyn, l.. /. In this home
of the departed are two graves, side by
side, which resting places contain the
dust of one of the worlds greatest poets,
William Cullen Bryant, and of his faith
full companion in life. The site OF this
last resting place of the dead was Sc
lected by the poet-editor who now sleeps
within its confines, and who at the time
uttered wisll-granted half century
later-in the following words:
4 gazed upon the glorious sky
And the green mountain round.
And thought that, when | came to lie
AT TEST within the ground,
'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June.
When brooks send up cheerful tune
And groves joyous sound,
The sections hand, my grave to make.
The rich green mountain turf should break"
1t was Bryant that also gave the name
to the picturesque village which fol so
many years was his home. In 1916,
when he went there, he learned that
when the British left Long island they
marched out of Hampstead to the tune
of '.Rosiyn Castle" and accordingly
gave the name of Roslyn to the place,
which was then only hamlet. The es-
tate which he purchased there he named

with its odd gables and corners, from

THE RELL TELEPHONE.

The decision rendered by the supreme
court last Monday in the Bell telephone
case does not end the case, but it is
none the less important because of the
principle that it settles. The decision
was rendered upon demurrer filed by
the telephone company asserting that
the government had no right to sue in
its courts for cancellation of patent,
even though it had been procured by
fraud. This demurrer had been sus-
tanned by the judges of the United
States circuit court in Boston, and an
appeal from their decision had been
taken by the contestants. The supreme
court OverruleS the decision of the
court below and holds that no one can
build up an oppressive monopoly by
means of a fraudulent patent and defy
the people, acting through their agents,
whose action made the fraud success
full, and who seek to recall the valuable
privileges which they were induced to
grant by fraud. The United States,"
says the supreme court, '.is under an
obligation i'll the present case to protect
the public from the monopoly secured
under patent alleged 10 have been pro-
cured by a fraud. BY issuing the patent
it has taken from the public rights of i'm
mense value and bestowed them upon the
patentee. That the government. au-
thorized both by. the constitution and
the statutes to bring suits in law and
in equity, should find it its duty to cor
rect this evil, to recall these patents,
and to give remedy for their fraud, is so
clear as TO need no argument, and the
proper remedy-is the one adopted by
the government in this case" The eff
feet of the decision is to remand the
case to the lower court for trial without
further delay. The Bell Telephone
company viii now be compelled to show
that the governments allegation of
fraud is false, OF its patent will be can
celed.

SALTWATER NEWS.
A Large Number of Men Being
Sent to the Woods.

Quite large number of men have
been sent to the woods during the past
few days and more will follow as fast as
the mills close down for the winter.
Help is very plenty at present, but will
be more scarce as soon as the snowfall
will admit OF active logging operations.
The indications at present point to a
heavy cut Oh the st. CrOiX ii the season
should prove at all favorable. This is
more likely to be the case from the fact
that the stock of old logs is remarkably
short here. Nearly all the camps to be
run this winter are now in, roads have
been swamped out and the men are Ell
gagged i'll Skidding.
Operations have been begun upen the
new wholesale house to be erected by
the transfer company upon the old
Reiner property, at the corner of Chest
nut and Water streets. The large frame
building which stood there has been
moved to North Third street, and work
has been begun upon the new block,
which will be brick.
The repairs upon the First National
bank block have been practically COM
pleted, and it is now about the
hands0mest block in the city. A fine,
new front has been put in, the floor
raised to grade and the interior entirely
remodled. About 5000 has been ex-
pended in the work.
A man named August Mueller. en-
ployed by the Hersey-Bean Lumber
company, fell through an opening in
their sawmill floor and broke his leg be-
tween the ankle and knee. He was
taken to his home on Fifth avenue and
a physician summoned, who reduced
the fracture.

surd to anticipate such unity in a party
to which there had been such intense.
desperate hostility and surrender. The
South had surrendered in gOod faith to
the national government, but not to
party.
When Grant came to power he put
stop to this policy, saying: LET us have
peace" But the party could not spare
the bloody Shirt and has kept this
pernicious fire burning to his day, hold
ing all Southern men as half rebels till
they join the Republican party. Then
even Confederate generals are all right,
and hold offices. All that allied DR..
Brooks was that he had been a Demo-
crat. 1t would afford no comfort should
the South join the Prohibition party, as
it may. And the call for Il free BALLOT
only means Republican ballot, as the
treatment of ballots in the North proves.
This unpatriotic, pernicious policy has
been one OF the greatest obstacles to the
uplifting of the c0lOred population,
now one-tenth of our citizens. it was
necessary and wise TO give them the bal
lot, totally unfit as they were. if vigor-
ons measures were made for their quail
ficatioD. All can see the vast difficulty
in most of the Southern states nplacing
SO heavy a majOrity-pOwer in the hands
of total incapacity and ignorance-but
yesterday property and stock! There
should have been great liberality and
prudence till this power could be fitted
for its trust. But instead of this Re-
publicans rushed to the South TO seize
this mass of ignorance as party capital
by which to conquer the South to that
party or hold it as still in national
rebellion. What could have been more
obstructive to the upward progress of
people? Is it strange that those states
declared that they would not be thus
governed by the negro vote and hated
party? Their wrong largely is the out
come of Republican policy. The party
was made to antagonize the South and
fraternal citizenship in it is impossible.
The South has neither demanded nor
has it received under the present adj
ministration more than its fair position
in the government. And this section
alism has iatterly been declining. but
this campaign has revived it-with what
results to our wounded country The
future must show. But the people must
answer it. A. WILEY.
