MUNICIPAL FRANCHISES.

In all American cities the municipal tax
is the heaviest to the people have to pay.
The State tax need not be more than one
third as much as the municipal tax, and
the costs of the general government come
in the form OF indirect taxes, largely laid
upon articles of luxury. Why should not
municipalities profit by the experience of
the Federal Government? Why not raise
one-half or more of the money needed to
support the municipal government by in
direct taxation? Such a policy is entirely
feasible. 1t is practiced to a considerable
extent in Europe, and it enables municipal
governments to do many things that could
not be done By means of direct tax The
franchises a city parts with, in most cases
for nothing. might be made a considerable
source Of revenue. Most of these franchises
are very valuable. New York receives a
yearly revenue Of 81. 100000 from ferry
franchises, with out apparent detriment to
the service. The companies pay the city
money which otherwise they would add to
Profits. Mayor Low of Brooklyn, n. Y,
lays down the principle that city should
sell leases only for a term of years. At the
expiration Of a lease the city should be in a
position to lease it for what the use of the
franchise is worth. The right to sell water
and gas, to run street railroads and ferries
across the bay might have been made
the source of considerable revenue. Neither
water, gas nor fares would probably be
higher than they now are if the companies
using such franchises had been required to
contribute fixed per cent of their earnings
to the Dill bic treasury

BLAINE's MANIFESTO.

The speech delivered by Mr.. Blaine to
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
on the subject of the sugar duties is the
most important political event of the day.
1t is understood to have been made by and
with the advice and consent of the Presi-
dent, and to command the approval OF a
majority of the Cabinet. Mr.. Blaine holds
that the admission of Cuban and South and
Central American sugar free without a
corresponding abolition of duties now inn
posed in those countries on American
breadstuffs and provisions is most i'm
polite; he objects to the increased duties
on wool and hides, as calculated to preju-
dice the South Americans against us, and
to impede the consumption of American
farm products in South America. he
added, with the impetuous candor charac-
teristic of the man, that he would give two
years of his life for two hours on the floor
of the Senate when the sugar duties come
up for discussion. He showed how re-
duetion in the duty on raw sugar-couped
with an increase in the duty on refined
sugar-would not benefit the farmer, but
would place him at the mercy of the sugar
trust. He reminded the committee that
the result of placing coffee on the free list,
which, as he said, was done some years
ago, to meet supposed political exigency,
to afford a free breakfast for the working
man, had not in the least cheapened that
breakfast, but had enabled Brazil to pocket
the revenue we relinquished. He wound
up by warning his fellow Republicans of
the danger of the course they were pursu-
ing.
Whether the majority in Congress will
give heed to the counsels of their oldest
and wisest leader rem aims to be seen. If
they do not, the emphatic words Of the
Secretary of State would appear to fore
shadow a veto of the bill which they may

POL ITICAL CONTACTS.

Pennsylvania papers are now much dis
turbed over the signs Of compact between
Senator Quay and ex-senator Wallace, the
presumed object of which is to secure the
election of Wallace to the seat in the
United States Senate which becomes vacant
in 1881. At the first glance people may not
understand why United States Senators
prefer that their colleague should be Of the
opposite party. The reasons, however,
upon examination are found to be solid. A
Republican Senator under Republican
Administration has all the Federal offices
within his State at his disposal. So with a
Democratic Senator under a Democratic
Administration. The fiction of a Congress
sonal delegation is maintained for the pub
lie eye. but in point of fact the Congress
sonal delegation is composed Of one, and
that one is the Senator. Now if there are
two Senators belonging to one party neither

NOT AN ADEPT IN THE ART.

1t is quite likely that ex-Polieeman Haw-
kinS will be punished for an alleged attempt
to eXtort money from young lady Of Sac
ramento who had been placed under sus-
picion by publication of this city. Haw-
klns evidently is not an adept in the art of

come so dazzed by results that he thought

ask for money Hawkins is wiser now. A
plucky young Sacramento woman taught
him lesson. lie failed to get any money,
lost his position and is in danger of being
interviewed by the male relatives of the
young lady he thought such an easy victim.
This is one Of several indications that black
mailing in this city is not so profitable pur-
suit as it has been. 1t is not that the field
is worked out, but that public sympathy
goes more decidedly with the blackmailer's
proposed victim. The courage and ingen-
uity now required to work Matchmaking
scheme successfully will produce better re-
suits in legitimate business.

NEW YORK CoNGREssMEN.

The expectation expressed by the New
York Tribune that the Republicans would
gain three and perhaps four Congressman
at the coming election induced the Sun to
show upon what basis that hoie is enter
tanned. The Sun shows that there are
seven Republican districts held by a ma
jority of less than 1000, while there are but
three Democratic districts held by that
slender majority. There are three Repub-
lican districts in which the combined ma
jority is but about 1900, and but one Demo-
cratic district in which the majority is less
than 1900. This would seem to give the
Democrats the best chance to make gains,
unless the general drift is in favor of tine
Republicans. 1t is expected that the COM
ing political campaign will be as closely
fought as in an ordinary Presidential year.
The contest this fall will be in a sense a
test of Governor HIPS strength. If he can
carry the Legislature and majority of the
Congressman his chances of becoming the
Presidential candidate in 1892 will be
greatly improved. To do this he has to
gain three Congressman and eleven mem
bers of the Legislature. If he succeeds
with the Legislature he will probably be
chosen TO succeed Senator Evarts, whose
term expires with the present Congress.

Editorial NOTES.

The recent gold shipments to Europe ex-
cited considerable discussion in New York.
one reason being the fact that the gold bars
in the assay office which a couple of years
ago amounted to $4,000, COO had decreased
TO little over S30,0O0,0c0. AS means of
heading off the movement it has been sug-
gested that the law allowing the with
drawal Of gold bars for export should be
amended, and that demands on the Sub
Treasury should be paid in coin. This
would have a tendency to limit the ship
ments of gold. Gold bars are of known
fineness and are paid for accordingly, but
coin shipments show losses caused by
abrasion, ETC., recent heavy shipment
having shown a depreciation of over cent
and half on each sovereign.

AMERICAN CATTLE IN GERMANY

Mr.. James II. Smith, Commercial Agent
of the United States at Mayence, in Ger
many, reports that the recent importations
of American cattle into Germany have
netted a loss to the importers. That is
easily understood. Under the regulations
which Bismarck established for the protec-
ton of the German cattle-grower, foreign
cattle are subjected at German ports to
quarantine of four weeks, under the pre-
tense of making sure that they are not dis
eased. A large proportion of them die in
quarantine, and the rest come out of prison
in poor condition. But Mr.. Smith is in
formed that this was not the reason why
the importation of American cattle into
Germany did not pay. They did not sell,
he informs us, because they were too fat
for the German taste. The German, he
adds, prefers his own native meat. This is
the first instance on record where steer
was objected to because it was in too good
condition.
We suspect that Mr.. Smith has been i'm
posed upon, or that, for some reason or
other, he msstates the case. thought really
not be necessary to say that in every meat
eating country in the world fat cattle are
preferred TO lean cattle as an article of food.
For the preservation Of animal heat in the
system-without which it would perish of
inaniti0n-Liebig says that 100 parts of
fat are equivalent to TO parts of lean flesh.
Meat absolutely destitute of fat would
hardly be fit for human food. Happily, no
such meat exists; but meat which contains
a due proportion of fat is far more nutri-
tious than meat which only contain a small
proportion.
1t viii probably be found that the objec-
ton of German meat-dealers to American
cattle on the ground that they are too fat
is like the objection of German pork-dealers
