Shorter Catechism as containing errors.

erroneous impression that exists In 0ss
minds Of many people through.
out the country. In the first place the
agency for leasing the apartments and
the general management Of the Shore
ham was placed in the hands of 0ur, firm
long before the building was cohr
pleted. Since we assumed the manage
ment, all leases and business arrange
ments connected with the property have
been made by our firm. In the
second place there Is no truth
whatever in the many state
ments that have been made that
there 10 o bar, saloon or buffet in the
building, or that Mr.. Morton had signed
an application for a license to sell
liquors in the Shoreham. In fact. in
our agreement with Mr.. Keenan,, the
manager, it was expressly stipulated
that no part of the bailding should b
used as bar. saloon or buffet for the
sale of wines, malt or spirituous liquors
However, Mr.. Keenan, found it impera-
tive, in order to supply family at dim
ner, luncheon or other meals with bot
tie of beer or wine, to take out hotel
license in accordance with the-laws Of
the district. This application was mada
in Mr.. Morton's absence and without his
knowledge. - - =
81 wish to say now that Mr.. Morton's
interest in the Shoreham, beyond his
ownership, is confined to the revenue de.
rived from the leasing of the apartments.
Its just the same as though he owned
row of furnished houses on Connnecticu.
avenue. He would keep those houses
in good order, pay the taxes and receive
his rent. That is all he does with the
Shoreham. He has nothing whatever te
do with the success or failure of the

they might contribute to the enhance
ment or deterioration of his property.

REGARDING TAXATION.

The Burdens Borne by the Producing
Glasses of Free Trade England.
The average American "tariff reform
er" is forever lamenting the ''taxes"
that the '.robber tariff imposes upon
the American people. So great and 50
grievous is this outcry that total
stranger to our land and Institutions
might be excused if, upon perusing the
editorial page of the typical free trade
newspaper, he should conclude that the
Americans, instead of being the richest,
most prosperous and most powerful peO-
pie on the face of the earth, were the
poorest of nations, rapidly being re-
duced to beggary by the excessive de-
mands made by the tariff upon their
pocEetbooks. .lt.
The continual burden of the free
trade argument is that protective
tariff means heavy taxation of our peo-
pie, and that a revenue tariff means
their light taxation. In the recent
article of Senator Morrill,, in the North
American Review, attention is called to
the weight with which the present sys
tenn of taxation in free trade Britain
bears upon the British masses.
In Senator Morrill's languages: Free
trade opens in Great Britain by levying
a tariff duty on imported manufactured
tobacco OF "a cents to 90 cents per
pound; on manufactured tobacco OF
194 to l16 cents per pound; on cigars,
S1.32 per pound; on tea, IL cents per
pound; on coffee, 8 cents per pound-ii
ground or prepared, cents per poundi
on cocoa, raw, 2 cents per pound-if
cents per pound"
These are articles all used by the
masses, and, as their production in
Great Britain is impossible, it follows
that the British workman is taxed, and
right heavily too on all Of them.
Further on Senator Morrill, observes:
Supplemental to British free trade and
from it will be found the
following: A land and house tax, paid
by occupiers as we'll as owners; q tax
on iegacies and SUGGESTIONS; a stamp
tax on bills of exchange, receipts and
patents; a tax on carriages. horses,
man servants, guns and dogs; an excise
on gin and all other spirits, and . tar
on incomes
How would the American people
fancy having similar list of taxes per.
saddled upon their shoulders
by the National Government?-N. Y.

THE PATHFINDERS CAREER.
A Man Deserving Every Honor That Con-
Reess Can Bestow on Him.

A Man Deserving Every Honor That Con-
geess Can Bestow on Him.
The career Of John c. Fremont reads
like romance, but the career Of no
living American has been crowned with
more substantial results His history
during the best years of his life is closely
interviewer with the history of his coun-
try's development. He pointed the way
to the Pacific when the intervening re-
gicn was a trackless and barbarous will
de:ness. He led the vanguard ofciviliza-
ton in that direction. He defeated the
vaccinations of Mexico that at one
time threatened the permanent occupa-
ton of California. 1t was he who, more
shan any other one man, saved the
Golden State to the American Union.
Nor was duty ever performed, whether
10 the service of the Government or
voluntary ard self-imposed, with more
loyal and unselfsh purpose than Ere
mont rendered to the country, from his
original explorations of the South Pass
in 1912 to his terrible passage of the
Sierras in 1913, and his final and fifth
expedition across the continent several
years later.
Every new path that he found became
in time new highway to the advance
ing march of civilization. and Fremonts
name is indissolubly linked with the
reclamation from savagery, the opening
to settlement, the growth and expan-
sion of the trans Mississippi domain.
Tie services that he thus gave to the
Government, and those Of his subse-
Juent life, entitle him to all the recog-
milton for which the bill nov before
Congress provides. If it we're much
more. it would be none too much, but
Congra;s can honorably do no less. The
honor that is sought-the retirement of
his distinguished man with the rank Of
Majo e-General-has been nobly earned.
and will well become his declining
years.-WashingtO Post.

RUSSIAN DISHONESTY.
A Bureaucracy That is Gangrened WI
Corruption and Fraud.

n bureaucracy That Is Gsngrene0 Win
Corruption and Fraud.
Partly through translations Of Russian
novels, and partly through essays
penned by Russian exiles, we have
learned great deal about Russian life
and character since, twelve years ago.
Mr.. Mackenzie Wallace and NJ. Anatole
Ceroy Beaulieu began to eliminate the
great Northern Empire. We soon dis
covered that the Russian bureaucracy is
gangrened with corruption, but it is a
later and more painful disclosure, that
dishonesty pervades every channel Of
professional and business activity. In
the report issued by the council of tho
st. Petersburg bar, for the year ending
March, 1888, eighty-eight out of one
hundred and thirteen pages are taken
up with the lists of penalties inflicted
on lawyers for misconduct. 1t is, it
seems, a common thing for university
professors to steal the researches o:
their fellow-scientists, and publish them
as their own.
The adulteration of Russian products
subjects them to serious disabilities in
foreign markets. Russian kerosene is
looked upon in England with misgiving.
In Brazil, Russian canvas for sails is
boycotted. In Belgium, Russian timber
has no chance in competition with Nor
wegian, because it is imperfectly pre-
pared. Russian fax is almost always
mixed with stones and old ropes, to in.
crease the weight, and accordingly it
fetches only half the price of the Belgian
article.
Oats is one of the staple exports from
Russia to England, yet the quality is
found so inferior to the sample, that the
purchasers are forced to make large de-
auctions from the covenanted price. In
1886, some English importing firms
agreed to give up buying barley from
Odessa on the ground that in the con.
signments large quantities of earth
were added. Even Russian eggs bring
forty per cent. less in England than eggs
imported from other continental coun-
tries.
These statements seem scarcely credi-
BILE. but every one of them is made On
Russian authority, in a recent number
of London periodical. 1t is pointed
out, however, ny lue sduc uuuiHCuluS
exposer of Russian vice that the all-per-
vasive dishonesty, above exemplified
is confined to the adherents of the Or.
thodox Greek Church, who constitute
the main body of Russian society.
Among the Russian schismatics and her
etics, there are scores of communities
and fraternities like the Molokani. the
Stundists and the Sarepta Brotherhood,
whose principles and customs are mod.
eled on the teachings Of the Gospel, and
whose members, in respect of veracity
and problsy, are the Quakers of Russia.
Collectively, these honest and truthful
men and women number hundreds of
thousands-perhaps millions-snd they
show what the subjects of the Gar
might become. were they not corrupted
by the spectacle Of vice rampant and
triumphant in the high places, whore
enlightenment, justice and honor are
presumed to dwell-N. Y. Ledger
