the only taxpayers are those who formally
pay tar bills, he ought TO 70 further. Peo-
pie ought to have votes according TO the
amount OF their taxes, for the larger their
bills the greater their stake In the gov
ernment. In his olicarchy Mr.. AsToR's
vote should coun'erbalance the votes Of
thousands Of small taxpayers. The heavier
a mans tax bills the greater should be his
voting power. Tho voting should be con-
Quoted on the principle Of stock companies,
where majority of shares, and not Of indi-
viduals controls.
But the true theory Of our Government Is
that every citizen Is an equal member Of the
body polite. equally sharing in its duties
and advantages. Every mans vote counts
one and no more whether 1t be Mr AsToR or
Mr.. AsToR's poorest tenant. We do not
measure his qualifications by the amount OF
his wealth or count him out rs voter be-
cause he pays his taxes indirectly In his
rent and consumption instead OF directly at
the tax Office.
Mr. WHITE does not propose q property
qualification except In municipal govern
ment; but II it is desirable there. why Is It
not desirable in all government? II We
should have 1t In municipal Affairs, why
should we not have it In State and
Federal affairs also7 II the oligarchy is
established in the town. 1t must extend to
the country also. II only the actual payers
OF tax bills should govern in New York, only
the actual payers OF customs and internal
revenue bills should govern at Washington.
The list Of qualified voters should be made
up by the tax collectors, and the rest Of the
citizens should be barred out.
But SO vicious policy and discrimina-
ton so fatal to sound republican govern
mont will never prevail here. This is Gov
ernment Of the people, for the people, and
by the people, not an oligarchy made up by
bureaus of assessment and taxation, GUS
tom houses, and internal revenue collectors.
Experience. too shows that, on the average,
the business OF the public Is as honestly
managed as the business OF corporations
run by the sort Of men to whom Mr.. WHITE
would commit the exclusive control Of the
expenditures OF cities.

The Maine Election.

The defeat Of Speaker REED In the First
district of Maine to-day would 10 In one
eenss misfortune 10 the Democracy. II
would remove from public lie for at least
two years the man whose reckless strength
Of will and whose magnificent insolence are
making Democratic votes throughout the
country faster than any other influence-ten
times faster than the so-called educational
campaign with its dreary tariff tracts and
its mountain-climber attachment.
The defeat OF REED is not likely to occur.
His majority In 1888 was 2,4SS; and notwith-
standing the fact that the indifference OF the
Republican voters OF Cumberland and York
counties to the Speakers Importance as a
national parsonage is so marked that Mr..
MCKINLEY observed II with surprise and
spoke OF it with sorrow, the margin Is pretty
cafe, and the machine is working as usual.
In the Second district Congressman DINO
LEY will be reelected as usual. and MILLIKES
In the Third and BoUTELLE in the Fourth
are sure Of another term.
On the State ticket, the returns from to-
days election should properly be compared
with those OF September, 1856, when, on q
total vote OF l29,O53. BoDwELL, Republican
candidate for Governor, had 1853 majority
over EDWARDS, Democrat. the Prohibitionist
candidate receiving 3s7s votes. In 1888, a
Presidential year, the Republican plurality
at the September election rpse to 1906.
Less than $4,000 majority in Maine to-day
will signify that the same remarkable polit-
ical reaction tn atcut down the normal Re-
publican majority in Vermont nearly fifty
v,ar cont Inst HvscE is actively working in
the State OF BLAINE and REED and of Re-
publcanism that asks no questions as rule
but comes up smiling at the polls.

because modern sentiment demands that
Scripture shall be 90 interpreted as TO

words. they all proceed on the theory
that as the convictions OF the time change
the creed should change, which amounts to
about the Same thing as saying that every
man should be left to construct q creed
for himself. TO include what he really
believes and nothing more. II. for instance,
the Committee for the Revision OF the West
minister Confession formulates creed which
docs not agree with Prof. BRIGass belief, it
will not be his creed; and yet he will remain
Presbyterian all the same, working inside
the ranks to bring about the construction Of
a general creed in agreement with his indi-
vidual views.
That is what Mr.. MAcQUEART claims the
right to do in the Episcopal Church. He con-
tends that 1t is his privilege and his duty to
propose amendments to the creed. and that
by so doing he is no moro heretical than a
member OF Congress who proposes amend
ments to the Constitution is traitorous. 1t
is very remarkable defence. and will make
the ensuing trial unique among ecclesias-
teal inquisiuons.

An OliparchY Prom osed.

On Thursday, at the meeting Of the Social
Science Association at Saratoga. tho Hon.
ANDREW ID. WHITE propounded q plan for
the government OF cities. It's chief features
are the election Of the Mayor and Board OF
Aldermen on general ticket, and the cleo
ton OF Board OF Control by property own
ers only, no franchise to be granted and no
expenditure made without the consent o.
this latter body.
There is nothing novel about this plan. 1t
Is brought forward at pretty regular inter-
walls, more especially the property quail
fication clause. The theory Of the Con-
stitution tinkers is that the citizens who 20
to tho tax Office to pay tax bills arc the only
taxpayers. and that therefore thoy should
have rights in the city government superior
to those ottse rost OF the population. They
put up the money, the shallow argument is,
and hence have a deeper Interest in good
government and ought 70 DO allowed to fix
the expenditures.
This. OF course. is utterly ial.acious. Every
body in town pays taxes, and everybody Is
concerned in good government. The men
who own property and actually receive and
pay tax bills merely act as agents In the
matter for their tenants and customers who
have cacn contributed their proportiona'e
shares OF ths taxes in rents and prices paid.
Nobody can es ape paying taxes Of some
sort and 10 some extent, whether he lives in
Fifth avenue mansion or an east side tene-
ment. II the expenditures OF the municipal
government are cItrayasant b. suffers, and
II they are ccoaomica! he Es!us.
Accordingly, every c tzen is interested in
good government, and he ought to take
part In the government, whether he be land
lord or tenant, capitalist or wage Garner.
II is part OF his business as member OF
the body polite, and TO deprive him Of tho
privilege or TO relieve him Of the duty is to
do him outrage and to bring injury TO the
public welfare. The money in the municipal
treasury ia the money OF the whole COM
munity, and the whole should be consulted
IN It's disbursement They have all con-
tributed TO 1t.

One item Of the big River and Harbor bill'
as agreed to in the conference committee,
authoriz es the purchase Of the Portage Lake
and Lake Superior Ship Canal from the pri-
vate company that now owns and runs 1t,
the sum Of $780, 600 being appropriated for
the purpose. This is one OF q group OF meas
ures. including the scandalous Henneptn
Canal and the Sturgeon Bay and Lake
Michigan Canal projects, against which q
sturdy fight used to be made. The House,
in tho last Congress, insisted on striking
them out o, the River and Harbor bill after
theSenate had inserted them.
Tho Portage Lake Ship Canal WAS designed
to avoid the longer course around Keweenaw
Point. by cutting through the peninsula
that juts into Lake Superior from its south
ern shore. The principal local commerce for
the northern coasts OF Michigan and Wiscon-
sin and the eastern coast Of Minnesota is,
OF course, along this shore, while the grain
and other products brought from the North
west through this lake, particularly from
Duluth, finds some saving OF time by pass
ing through the canal on its way to the
Sault Ste. Marie, and so on south
ward. Private enterprise, enthusiastic
there would be enough traffic through tho
canal to make it a great investment. tits evil
dent that the question involvedwas business
one, that Of the economy OF going around
the point or taking the shorter cut and pay
ing the tolls. 1t occurred to the people who
navigated the lake, and perhaps particular
ly to the owners Of the steamers connected
with railroad lines and largely controlled
by them, that it would be a very good plan
for the Government to bear this expense Of
the tolls instead Of themselves, by buying
the canal and making it free, defraying also
its running expenses.
This is about the substance OF the Portage
Lake Canal affair. II ths Government
chooses to take the enterprise of the hands
OF its present owners at their price, and to
give shippers and others at It's own cost ac-
commodatlons which they have hitherto
paid Tor themselves. naturally they will not
object. The commerce Of Lake Superior is
undoubtedly growing and it was not diff
cult TO obtain the professional opinion OF
Government engineers that the Portage
Lake Canal Is a genuine aid to this COM
merce and is well worth tho price. Perhaps
the exaggerated stir recently made about an
accident in the lock OF the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal helped this and other River and
Harbor bill projects in that region.
The Portage Lake Canal does not COM
pare, OF course, with the Sault Ste. Marie in
Importance, but no doubt it originally cost
much more than the Government is to give
for it 1t will also cost the Government in
the end a good deal more than the appro-
priation now made.

Our trustworthy old Republican friend, the
boston Journal, remarks on the eve Of the
Maine election:
The elections in Maine always attract great deal
Of attention parity because OF the early date which
they held and partly because Maine citizens
politics loving people given to thouRhtul and ntelh.
gent consideration of public questions and acting upon
them with dreetnsEs which gives 10 their votes more
than ordinary significance"
That is Just about what the Boston Journal
remarked on the eve Of the Vermont election
concerning the voters OF Vermont. After cleo
ton in Vermont the Journal observed:
The apparent decrease in the Republican majority
has no political significance"

New England Republicanism say after the RS
turns are in from Meine2
