AN UNPOPULAR ISSUE.

II Is amusing TO find Democratic journals
which make persistent eff orts 10 be on the pop
ular side of public questions rushing to the
defence of the Ohio demand for the reimpoSl-
ton of income taxes They have short memo
ries or they would not make so fatal blunder'
There was no tax of the war period which ex-
cited so much antagonism and Wpopuarity DIS
the income tax. Perjury, dishonesty and trick
cry of all kinds attended its enforcement, ana
the burden of paying the tax was carried IN tne
main by honest men who felt that thousands
richer than themselves were evadng the re-
ouirements of law by subterfuges and hard
swearing. The impracticability of securing
just and equal levy upon private incomes WIN
ont having recourse to inQuisitoral methods was
generally conceded during the War. Inc
graded system advocated by the Ohio Demo-
Gratis would place higher premium upon dll-
plicity and dishonesty than the old income tax.
It would be the most fragrant species Of class
legislation, and would be certain to arouse the
antipathies of all Americans worthy of the soil.
Democratic journals 60 out of their way to court
unpopularity when they begin by feebly apollo
giving for the Ohio declaration and end by
heartily favoring it as involving the shifting
of the burden of supporting the Government
from oppressed poverty to superlluouS wealth.
The Ohio Democrats in their frantic efforts
to curry favor with the zealotS of the Farmers
Alliance have not only emphasized the Free
Trade tendencies of their party in the most
practical way, but they have also succeeded in
getting down on the unpopular side of the tariff
fence. Free trade would be impracticable In
England without income taxation. Consistency
requires American Free Traders to face the
responsibility of providing the Government with
adequate sources of revenue, and there Will be
no alternative for the income tax, if they ever
succeed in overturning the system OF indirect or
tariff taxation. Americans, however, are thor
oupbly accustomed to the indirect method, and
they are repealed by proposals for the revival
of the most burdensome and intolerable of the
war taxes. Intellige 1T Democratic journals like
THE Sum- perceive the inane folly OF the Ohio
bid for class legislation on communiStlc lines
Less sagacious organs fancy that they can cover
the blunders of their party by TRADES about
superfluous wealth and the necessity of reliev-
ing the masses from taxation of 3" the necessaries
of life.o Ohio, fortunately, is too well-informed
4 community to be imposed upon by reasoning
so specous The American policy Of indirect
taxation is popular there. Under that system
the burden of supporting the National Govern
ment is not felt by either masses or classes, and
industrious workngmen are known to be better
paid. more comfortably housed, and armed with
better chances Of getting on in life in the United
States than in any other quarter OF the world.

A SKINNER DANGER

The Tribune was recently Toved 10 remark that
circus owners should secure their wild animals
better as the general consensus of opinion is that
il is dangerous to have ons tigers, and so forth,
wandering about in public. To show that the
warning was not uncallcd for, we have only TO
point TO the large number Of circus wild beasts
which have been escaping lately Beginning with
y t,cpr in Tennessee, 1t has been followed by
nanther In Arkansas, lion in Illinois, two Loop
ards in Minnesota, another tiger i'll Michigan the
LARGEST sna Ike in the world" in Massachusetts,, and
a bear at Coney Island, not to mention whole
cage of hyenas in Denver, Colorado, which at
tackled their keeper and came near getting away.
We know of few things with greater educational
and civilizing influence than the circus wild beast
in his proper place. He promotes the study Of
natural history and makes possible the continued
existence of the lady bareback rider by provld-
ing an excuse for the staid, digniiied residents
of remote towns to go to the circus with the chill
dren Were it not for the circus Wild beast the
neople Of Oshkosh. let us say by way of example,
would have but an imperfect idea of the appear
once of lions. tigers and elephants. AS a humble
adjunct of university extension the circus beast
deserves the best wishes of everybody and the
nubllc must not be made TO lose confidence in him
by his being constantly allowed to escape and men,
The amount of devastation which may be
wrought hy large and vigorous lion, for instance,
can scarcely be rightly appreciated by any one
who has never met this beast publicly When
tho lion got loose in the Illinois town the other
day. he produced panic and number of persons
were injured. There is Il certain noticeable ag-
rres,ivencss about a lion when you Look out Of
vour window and him coming up your front
,yalk In Mr. Websiers late spelling book il was
boldlv asserted that three mastiGs a certain
occasion defeated lion, the king of beasts being
compelled to seek safety in flight We are in
clired 10 doubt this story. No dates or other
particulars were given. Mr.. Webster did not say
,yLether be had seen the conflict himself or had
heen told about it. The article was one concern
inc the mastia and was clearly written from that
ANNALS point Of view. That lion would be an
important factor in n misunderstanding with any
reasonable number of mastlils may be inferred
from the way the hyenas fought in Denver day
or two ago, the hyena being a small, high
shouldered ANIMAL In no way comparable to the
lion. The regular byena man had gone to the

JcrFr1 TRADE ENTERPRISE.

One OF the trade journals has done excellent
work in furnishing merchants and manufactur-
ers with practical information respecting com
mercial opportunities in Spanish America. This
is 1.-THE Boots and Shoes Weekly" which pub
fishes id its current number an admirably writ
fen account of the investigations of one Of its
staff correspondents in Mexico, Cuba and the
Bahamas. This is trade which enjoys peculiar
advantages for competing with European manu-
facturers. Its raw material Is largely drawn
from Southern countries, and its manufactured
goods ought to be returned in exchange Amen-
can leather is known to be the best in the world,
owing to the marked superiority of the pro-
cesses employed in making it. American man.

specialists. producing few lines of goods and

to which we have referred supplies much in

how those markets can be reached, and how the
exports of boots and shoes can be largely in
creased.
The methods Of American commercial travel
lers in Southern countries are justly criticised
by this intelligent correspondent They at
tempt to introduce their goods with a rush, for
getting that what passes Tor energy and brisk
ness in the United States is disliied and re-
sented there as indecent haste. An American
drummer who expects to spend day in each
town and u push through Mexico and Cuba in a
month inevitably returns without selling goods.
lie has boied every merchant with his energy,
and frequently has aifronted possible customers
by suggesting that their business methods are
intolerably slow German and English drum
mers remain a fortnight in town where an
American competitor stays only twenty-four
hours. They are allowed n year for making the
circuit of Cuba and Mexico and are expected
10 sell 1890, 600 worth Of goods; and they
in gariably succeed in doing this, since they
adapt themselves to the deliberate ways Of the
merchants These foreign drummers always
speak three languages iuently Spanish, Eng

American rival may have a smattering of Span

80 endured this arduous service as long as
thew could, but have been crushed and democrat
yod at last by the responsibilities OF their OK
LTD station as the Guards of Royalty. Inc
oficials seem to recognize the serious character
of rho revolt, for they take pains to explain
that " unreasoning compliance with orders Is no
Ior,ar obtainable from men who are permeated
,,i,b ouasi education" and that 90 this must be
considered in ali future dealings with soldiers"
THE time has been when it was theirs not to
reason WHY but only :" to do and die" ; but
tbose were old-faShiOned soldiers, who possibly

we're not sufficiently educated to appreciate the
dignity and responsibility OF the Foot GUARDS
on full dress parade.
The Duke of Wellington in his day would
probably have restored discipline and suppressed
mutiny in the ranks by having file OF the
rineleaders shot That was before the era OF
military education began. Now it is necessary
for the officers to reason with the mutlneefs' 10

heart to tell the petuant pets OF the service

higher educational standards of the rank ana
file. These things in future are to be seriously
considered, as the officials oonoede. II neceS,

in charge of william Collins, the elephant keeper.
Mr.. Collins understood elephants but he knew
little of hyenas His idea was that in the morning
street parade he could ride In the hyena cage and
have his elephants follow behind. He accordingly
entered the cage with q camp-stool and copy OF
Denver morning paper, which latter he intended
10 Glance over while on the parade. The hyenas
saw TINT he was stranger and attacked him with
great enthusiasm. Collins fought them with his
club. other circus men came with other clubs, and
when the hyenas had been nearly killed with
clubbing, Collins was rescued almost dead him
self Then the hyenas went TO fighting among
themselves and were only subdued by having the
hose turned on them. Had they been lions in
stead of hyenas the present whereabouts of Will

MTT[NOTS ENGLISH GUARDS.

The English foot guard regiments have been
petted' and fattered until they have been
spoiled. Last year there were two serious out
breaks of disalfection among these dress parade
carpet knights, one of which was followed by
Punishment TO Bermuda. The military pageants
which attended the German EmperOrs visit to
England have involved another mutiny. a
battalion of the Coldstream Guards containing
the flower of the English military service was
constantly employed during the international
festivities in heading parades and furnishing
guards of honor. 1t was ornamental work such
as they are accustomed to perform, but there
was mole Of it than the fastidiouS guardsmen
liked. The nervous strain caused by the ne
cessty Of constantly exhibiting themselves be-
fore kings and princes was most exhausting TO
these soldiers OF fashion. After the Emperor
departure they felt greatly in need of rest and
recuperation but they were required to mount
guarG at the palaces, Whitehall and the Bank
of England. and were denied the privilege of
a weekly holiday. They sullenly chafed against
the tyranny of military discipline, and finally
became ganngIy insubordinate, refusing to
march, bauicadng themselves in the barracks.
