EDITOR ADvOCATE:-I want 10 express
my thanks 10 you for the noble efforts
you are making through your paper 10
awaken the farmers and workingmen 10
recognition OF the evils that oppreas
them, and 10 arouse them 10 unite their
efforts toward a remedy. But especially
your remarks In the number OF May IA
in regard TO the position OF the "RGnsas
Farmer and Senator ingalls," are we'll
timed, and embody a very important
principle.
II The alliance will support men simply
because they talk all right and pretend 10
be with US In our aims, then this move
that promises 80 much now will surely
prove q failure. With the strength that
the alliance Is developing now, the pollti-
Cal hacks will be ready 10 flock in, and If
Senator Ingalls, and others like him
think they can got Office easier by en-
dorslng the demands Of the alliance, they
will do 80. II 10 we'll TO have good
platform and to work together to estab-
lish the noble principles Of our order, but
II we entrust the enacting OF the laws We
need TO men who only pretend to endorse
our demands in order to have our sup
port, we will never succeed.
Many members of the alliance have
only recently come to a conviction Of the
justice and general benefits Of our de-
mands, who would be true to our princl-
pies under any circumstances, but when
an Ingalls,, who by every act Of bis past
life has always sided with the money
power against the producers wishes TO
come In, we should gladly receive him on
probation and assign him a position in
the rear ranks.
We must never forget that we can only
Judge a mans character by his actions, by
what he has done and Is doing-not by
his talk Words flow easily TO those
whose profession is TO talk, and perhaps
nothing else has done 80 much to bring
about the present deplorable condition Of
the farmers as their disposition to 10
gulled by empty words Of political trick
sters.
We will undoubtedly make some mis-
takes In choosing candidates, but let us
not make the mistake of choosing men
who by every act have proved their In
sincerity, dishonesty, and that they are
entirely out Of sympathy with our aims
and objects. M. SENN.

TAXATION OF CAPITAL STOCK.

Decision of Much Interest by the Court
of Appeals.
The decision of the Court of Appeals re-
ported recently from Albany in regard to
the suit Of the State against the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company was received
here with, much interest by those who have
watched the case. The question tried grew
out of an agreement between the canal COM
pany and the State to test the mooted point
as to whether the canal company should be
taxed upon the valuation of its capital stock
at par or at Its market value.
The statute provides, literally inter-
preted, that when a corporation pays or
more per cent dividends it shall pay a tax
OF n mills upon the par value Of its capital
stock, but when it pays less than per cent
dividends 1t shall pay q tax at the rate of
a mills upon the actual market value Of
the stock.
The rule has not generally been ques-
toned, but in the year 1888 the Delaware and
Hudson Canal COmpany's dividends were
slightly under per cent. The tax on their
capital stock was accordingly based upon
the market value of that stock instead of
upon Its par value, and the company found
itself In the rather curious position of be-
ing obliged to pay bigger tax by about
$1,000 than if it had made larger dividend.
In other words, its tax bill was S21, ,456 Al,
when, if 1t had declared 6 per cent diYi-
dend. and had on hand so much less cash,
Its tax would have been only S19,477 80.
This state OF things seemed to be contrary
to the spirit of the law. and the case was
accordingly taken to cohrt, David Wilcox
OF Brlstow, Peet & Opdyke appearing for
the canal company. The Court Of Appeals
yesterday decided against the company,
thus sustaining the letter Of the statute and
the opinion of the lower court.
So much Importance has been attached,
however, to the further removal of any mis-
nd oFnFn ffNnar
administration of the law that a new law is
before the Legislature making all future
taxation of such corporations to be assessed
on the market value of the stock.-N. Y.

DR.. Stellwag, the famous Austrian oculist
during the course of recent lecture at
Vienna related the following story of Dom
Pedro of Brazil: He said that one of the
Emperor's dearest wishes had been to have
big hospital at Rio, but that he lacked the
money wherewith to build it, and the
wealthy people could not be induced to
subscribe. Then an idea came to him,
as 1t had to the German Emperor
Joseph century ago. He began To-
grant life peerages to all persons who were
willing to subscribe good round runs toward
the hospital. The patents of Count,
ViscOunt and Baron were not hereditary,
and if the children wished to inherit their
fathers title they had to pay for it afresh.
Brazil became peopled with mobiles, and
the hospital was built ON grand scale.
When it was completed Dom Pe1ro had the
following inscription placed on its gates:

man Vanity to Human Misery."-N. Y.

but is lower than it wonld be except for
