JACOBS A CHUMP.
He Doesn't Know Enough to APP
preciate Kindness.


GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 5.-An ar
ticle contained in local paper yester-
ay giving an interview with Capt.Solo-
mon Jacobs, of the fishing schooner
Brunhilda, has brought out a great
deal OF adverse comment upon his
reported action. The story in brief was
that Capt Jacobs had visited Fortune
Bay, II. f.. and taken some herring. but
was stopped from taking more by Com
mander Sullivan. of the British cutter
Fiona, who told him::he would have
to give 5000 bonds as guaran-
tee that he would land the herring
already taken i'll the United States.
According to the story, Capt. Jacobs
Informed the commander that he would
have to go to st. Jacques In order to Sc
cure bonds, and British officer was put
on his schooner to accompany him to
that port. Instead of going to St.
Jacques. however, the schooner at
once proceeded to ST. Pierre.
where there is no English CON
sui, and where the British officer
was landed. Prominent shippers and
vessel owners look upon Capt. Jacobs
action as violation Of the law and Il
breach of good faith. and greatly to
be regretted, especially at this time
Newfoundland has granted Amer
lean fishermen special privileges
over French and Canadian vessels
III the matter of procuring bait, and a
complication may be the cause of a
withdrawal OF the privileges already
possessed by rs, and may lead to more
serious trouble

APHORISMS.

The anticipation of evil is the death
Of happiness.-Jane Porter.
Inquisitive people are the tunnels of
conversation: they do not take in ANY,
thing for their own use, but merely to
pass it to anOther.-Steele.
Justice is itself the great standing
policy of civil society, and any eminent
departure from it, under any circum-
stances, lies under the suspicion of be-
ing no policy at all.-Burke.
1t is good thing to laugh. at any
rate; and if a straw can tickle man it
is all instrument of happiness. Beasts
can weep when they suffer, but they
cannot laugh.-Dryden.
Energy will do anything that can be
done in this world; and no talents, no
circumstances, no opportunities will
make two-legged animal man with
out it.-Goethe.
Good manners are the blossom of
good sense and good feeling. If the law
of kindness be written in the heart, it
will lead to that disinterestednesS in
both great and little things-that desire
to oblige, and that attention to the graf
Ification of others, which are the fOun-
dation Of good manners.-Swift.
Mental pleasures never cloy. Unlike
those of the body, they are increased by
repetition, approved OF by reflection,
and strengthened by enjoyment Col
ton.

1T TAKES THE PRIZE

The New York Tribune in lis issue
Of March 81 says:
Tomorrow the he aviest burden the Ameri-
can people have been bearing for many years
past viii be rolled off by the much maligned
MCKINLEY bill. A DUTY averaging two ceuts
pound viii be taken from sugar.
TO which the New York World re-
plies;
Then Il tariff duty is "a burden" is it?
And it is NOT the foreigner. but the Ameri-
can consumer who pays it?
All this reminds the GLOBE of Sena-
tor DAVIS remarkable wrestes with
the laws of logic on the stump last fall.
Among the many virtues of Republican
tariff Legislation which he eXtolled in
his effective fashion was its treatment
Of binding Irvine. Here the duty had
not been raised. Our senior senator de-
clared that tins was good thing. But
he must have been mistaken. If low
tariff Oh binding Irvine were to
be commended, what good could
be said of a high duty on other
commodities? The whole founda-
ton of the MCKINLEY bill was the
political dogma that the higher the
prices one had to pay for the necessaries
of life, the better it was for the country.
If binding twine should have been taxed
until it cost thousand dollars pound.
it would, according to Republican logic,
make everybody who had 10 use it so
much the richer. Senator DAVIS be-
lleved that this would be true of every
thing but binding Irvine. But he drew
the line there. The Tribune draws the
line at sugar. 1t thinks it a good thing
that the tariff on it has been removed.
But the tariff on sugar has not been
removed, Its form has been changed.
Instead of protecting the sugar growers
by tariff. they are now aided by a
bounty. The tax on people who
do not grow sugar for the ben
eft of those who do Is still
maintained. The insane idea that it
helps the state 10 take from one class
and give to another tlourlshes luxuri-
unity i'll this, as i'll every other feature
of this Ubiquitous measure. When poor
men Try to take from rich men, they are
called foul names and shot down in
their tracks. But Tom REED is a car.
and BILL MCKINLEY Il Napoleon OF
finance when they engineer through a
scheme by which everybody in the
rountry is forced to contribute some
lining to give present to the gentlemen
who are engaged III the cultivation of
sugar cane and beetS and sorghum.
This MCKINLEY bill is a fraud here.
rs well as everywhere else. 1t takes
The duty off of unrefmed sugar, but i'm
poses duty of half a cent pound on
The refined product. That is. it gives
The sugar trust its raw material free
from the tariff, but protects it against
foreign competition in its output.
This is magnificent achievement, is il
not? 1t helps the HAvEMEYERs and
the SPRECKELs, but how does it take
any burden off of the shoulders of
The people? The trust can snap its fin
gers at competition unless the people
resolve TO use none but unrefined sugar.
This would not be very palatable.
For pure, unauthorized humDuggery
the MCKINLEY bill takes the first prize.

DUBLIN, April 5.-Notwithstand ding a
steady downpour of rain, fully 1000 per-
sons assembled in Phoenix park to-day
to assist in the demonstrations of the
Amnesty association and protest against
the continued Imprisonment and alleged
Inhuman treatment Of Irish and Irish
American political prisoners by the
British government. After speeches
had been made by Mr.. Kenny. Mr.. Par
nell and others, resolutions were passed
calling upon Irishmen at home and
abroad to put forth every effort to Sc
cure the release of their friends, and
demanding that the government hasten
the unconditional surrender of the priS-
oners. Mr.. ParnelIs speech was a
TRADE against the Liberals, whom
he accused of always making po-
litical prisoners, while the Conserv-
atives released them. The same thing
might occur again, and John DAILY and
others, convicted of perjury during the
Liberals tenure of Office, be liberated
by the Conservative government. Why.
he asked, did not Mr.. Gladstone release
these prisoners in 1856? He (GladStone)
did not hesitate to steop to ascertain the
opinions of the dynamiterS in America
as to whether they would accept his
home rule bill of that ear, and even
went so far as to receive some of these
people at 'Hawarden. Why did not he
release the prisoners at that time? Here
a voice exclaimed: "Why didn't you
make conditions?" while crits of kill
him." Lynch him." were raised. In
reply to his questioner Mr.. Parnell de-
clared that the Irish party never made
conditions with the government. The
prisoners, he said, would rather rot III
jail than accept anything but their un-
conditional release.

CORPORATE PERSUASION

recently. The watering of stocks has
not been entirely unknown even in
New England, and, in the way of dis
enlargement for that method Of enrich

requiring railroads TO sell new issues o.
their stock at public auction. This was
first defeated in the popular branch.
then a little later reconsidered and
passed by big majority. This measure
had the special Endorsement Of the bust

tons of the state, as well as those who
have theoretical ideas of reform. Active
work was done from these quarters in
support Of the bill. But the corporate

TO EouAI.IzE TAXATION.

In recent debate on the floor of the
Minnesota senate this statement was
made: This senate is Squarely on
record as favoring the euualizing of the
burdens of taxation" The GLOBE is of
the opinion that the statement is cor
rect, and that no action of the senate
can be construed to the contrary. In
the memorable campaign of last fall the
battle cry of both the Democracy and
the Alliance, after the tariff reduction,
was "EqualiZe the taXeSw and on this
issue, as much as On any other, the
sweeping victory was accomplished. To
equallZe the burden of taxation was the
object OF more than several of the
bills which have been defeated in
the senate, but there was always
some valid objection, constitutional
or practical. which stood between those
bills and their enactment into laws.
However. the good work is still going
on. Senator LA DUE has introduced
bill-Senate File S25-which is or gen.
eral orders, and will probably be reached
early this week, which the GLOBE be-
lieveS to be good meas ure, the enact
ment and enforcement of which will go
far toward equaliZing the burden of
supporting the state government
Briefly stated, the bill makes it the duty
of the assessor, or any taxpayer, when
ever he shall have cause to believe any
person has not made a full list
of his property for taxation, to
cite such person TO appear in court,
where he shall make. statement I'M
der oath of all personal property I'M
der his control subject TO taxation.
which statement shall be transfe RE d to
the assessment rolls. The present law
is to be amended by striking out the
words verified by bis oath" where the
original assessment is made, so that
such oath may be no bar to disclosures
to be made subsequently when cited in
court.
The object of this law is very patent.
1t is claimed-and is undoubtedly true
that millions of dollars worth of prop
erty in the shape Of mortgages, securi-
tie s and other personal property is con-
cealed from the assessor. In the cities
of St. Paul and Minneapolis alone it has
been stated that twenty-five millions
have thus escaped taxation, and in the en-
tire state the amount must reach forty or
fifty millions. 1t is nearly all held by
men of wealth, who could readily afford
to pay taxes; and its escape adds TO the
burden of those taXpa yers whose prop
crty is all visible. The small farmer,
the manufacturer and the merchant
cannot eyade the assessor, while the
wealthy capitalist is enabled TO con-
ceal his wealth and shirk his
share of the cost of government.
If the S50,CO0,OOO now evading tax
alton were paying its fair share, the
rate could be reduced and the burden
laid upon the farmer lightened. Any
sound and constitutional measure which
will tend to change the existin state of
affairs, and bring to light and taxation
this hidden property, is worthy Of sup
port. The GLOBE believes the LA DUE
bill is a move in this direction. If the
contrary can be sh own, it will undoubt-
cdly be done; and ii it cannot, the SEN
ate should enact this bill into law so
speedily that the house may have time,
in the fast-wanlng session, to complete
the good work.

and railroad interests had week or
two to get in their work in opposition.
1t is not intimated that their persua-
sives took any form unusual with such
institutions when presented to legisla-
tors, but they were exceedingly effect
i've. The evangelist, MOODY, was op-
Grating in the city at the time, and
doing successful work in changing the
moral moods of people in various de-
grees, yet, it is believed that his spirit
ual renovators were inferior in potency
TO the arguments of the plethoric cor
poratiOns. In the next vote the great
majority for the bill was dissipated. and
became minority. There was no OBJ
noXious lobby visible, but the quiet per-
suasions were like the forces of nature
that are unseen, but show results. AS
wise as the lawmakers i'll Massachu-
sets are supposed to be. some of them,
at least, are open to conviction.

THE DIFFICULTY

1t is stated that the entire railroad
mileage III Kansas is bonded for an av-
erage of 81, 900 per mile. 1t is hardly
pretended that those are not robust fig
ureS. The roads could all be duplicated
at much smaller cost. Some insist that
contracts at those rates would make the
holders among the richest individuals
of the age. But the roads are capital
lied for double these large figures, and
here is where the great difficulty in the
railroad problem comes in. The people
must be taxed to make the roads pay
dividends upon fanciful expenditure
in their construction. The Kansas
roads are an average in cost of those in
the prairie states, and the methods have
been the same in all. The popular dis
content will not be appeased while
there is so wide a margin between the
value and the capitalization of the
roads

THE ENTIRE BENEFIT.

1t is to be hoped that certain conspic-
uous Republican papers that had the
party sagacity to oppose the passage of
the MCKINLEY bill, on account of the
effect seen to be inevitable upon the
party. are now not equally discerning in
looking for the substantial failure of the
sugar schedule to continue to the peo-
pie the benefits of the abandoned duty.
Their apprehenslonS are that the stu
alton will be found to be largely the
work of the plastic hands of the great
sugar trusts and monopoles, and as
these institutions get tOgetherand ma
nipulate nthings the reduction will grad
ually grow less until it is trifling. This
result is foreShadowed by the recent
cooperation of the trust and the
SPRECKEL'S system i'll California.
which has not heretofore been
working on that line. 1t is
given out that the present re-
lations are so amicable that division
of territory is to be had, and the mu-
tuality will be at the expense of the
people. The full reduction of two cents
a pound on refined sugar diverted from
the national treasury should be retained
in the pockets OF consumers. The act
allows the refiners half cent pound
advantage, and every half cent means
a good million dollars. The only seri-
Gus obstacle likely to be in the way of
the entire control of the sugar market
by these allied monopolies is the i'm
portation of sugar from Germany. This
amounted to only about 10000. 600 last
year: Unless it can be greatly increased
IL will not interfere materially with
the trust. 1t may be desirable for con-
gresS next winter to remove the half
cent duty on refined sugar. The peo-
pie should have the entire benefit of
free sugar,

The German Press Paints Dark
Picture of America.
LONDON, April 5.-It is stated that
the German government has sent in
structions to its minister to ascertain
what, if any. guarantee of protection
the American government gives to Ger
man subjects residing in the United
States. The present controversy be-
tween America and Italy is viewed
with no little satisfaction at BerlinE
and the worst possible form given to it'll
by the German press generally. The
motive is not as much unfriendliness to
the United States as to put stop 10
German emigration, which is already
making itself severely felt in the tack
of laborers for agriculture. The Con
seryative party and the large landhold-
ers generally are in favor of prohibit
Jug emigration for all except Jews, as is
done in Russia. The government is not
prepared to go this far. but none the
less appreciates the drain upon the in
dustries OF Germany. The impression
is therefore sought to be created that
America is lawless country and that
scenes like the New Orleans massacre
are of ordinary occurrence.
