The Alliance Proeramme.

There is undoubtedly concern in the Demo-
cratic party lest a third party appear in the
neld In 1892. SO far as electoral votes. are
concerned there Is little prospect that third
party could injure Democratic presidential
chances. Ii 1t divided the electoral vote SO
that no party should have majority the
Democracy would win its President, even
though its vote In the electoral college shonld
be less than the Republican vote or the vote
OF the new party. For the House of Repre-
sentatiyes elected last November will exist
until March 4th, 1893. and would have the
election of President in its hands in case of
no majority in the electoral college. But
the Democracy do not relish the prospect of
the fight of third party in their state con-
tests. In the south where the Alliance is
very strong 1t might get to the polls many
men whom the Democratic machine leaders
do not want to see having share in political
aitairs-the poor whites and the negroes. In
the north it might break up party discipline
badly. On the other hand the Alliance
leaders seem anxious for the new party :;

The effect of the treasury order in regard
to consular seals, which is soon to be pro
mulgated, cannot be correctly judged until
the details Of the order are known. An in
spection on the frontier may be of so general
character as to produce no serious delay in
shipments, or 1t may require such specific
examination as to practically break up the
traffic. Ii it be of the latter description it is
obvious that its OBJECT on the ports of Boston
and Portland will be very disastrous. Indeed
II Is difficult to conceive of severer blow o
the business CT Portland than would be struck
by hampering,the Grand Trunk to such an
extent that 1t would be compelled to seek a
new outlet for its freight inside the Domin-
ion provinces. And not only would Port
land be seriously hurt, but the whole of New
England and the great Northwest also. The
people OF New England are now able to get
their breadstuffs laid down here at as low
cost as the people Of New York, by aid of
the Canadian lines. Shut these lines cut
and the cost of bushel of oats or barrel of
flour brought into this State would be in
creased by reason of the increased cost of
transportation.

The Massachusetts legislature is struggling
with the problem of the taxation of personal
property. The present law reaches only a
small part OF that kind Of property, and now
new law is proposed apparently something
like the one that was killed by our legisla-
ture. A majority.of the committee on taxa
ZION nave reported in its favor The chances
are That no such measure will pass, but if 1t
should, the results will come far short of an
ticipation, Every device that human inge-
nuity could invent has been brought to bear
on the matter of the taxation of personal
property. and not one of them has proved
successful. The drastic law of Ohio leaves
millions OF personal property unexposed to
view; Vetmont's law has fallen far short of
revealing all the personal property In that
state; West Virginia's has mulcted widows
and orphans. insane persons and idiots,
while the shrewd traders and rich men have
escaped. In Europe the equitable taxation
OF personal property has proved so hopeless
task that 1t has largely been abandoned;
and sooner or later we are coming to that in
tnis country. The truth is that much of
what we call personal property is not prop
erty at all, but only evidence of debt. Ac-
tual property, like stocks of goods, horses
and carriages, 1t is not much more difficult
TO reach than real estate. but the evidences
OF debt give trouble And in equity the
holder Of these evidences ought not to be
taxed for them, but rather the person or cor
poration who hold the property which they
represent.
The Polynesian lands but 60 passengers at
Portland, although she brought about 462
across the Atlantic, -Four hundred were
landed at Halifax to be taken by rail to parts
OF Canada and to the Western states. 1t is
impossible to tell how many of these will
ultimately find their way to the United
States; but our customs agents are suspect
ing that large number of such emigrants
are really bound for the United States. A
more rigid inspection upon the border will
OF course be necessary ito enforce the new
immigration law. A Vermont paper face
tlously suggests that the proposed military
posts that have been talked about for Yer
mont might help solve the problem. The
soldiers might be utilized in keeping out i'm
migrants who sought to steal across her
border. Tho sport too wonld lbe an attrac-
ton for summer visitors. A regiment of
soldiers chasing the elusive Italian over the
ermont hills would be more iexcitinq nhan
fox hunt at Newport. UnfortpS tely
Sans army would be hardly large
enough to patrol the whole frontier; and be.
tween the Cinnamon on the west and the
Europeans on the east, many slippery i'm.
migrant would get through. A few good de-
tectiVes in the larger.cities of Canada would
probably contribute more towards heading
of Immigrants than the soldiers would
though the latter might make the New Eng
land summer season more lively.
