We offered to show her the way,
and as she limped along at a slow
pace she said:
They are all buried there-husband
and three children. 1t was sickness,
poverty, and death, and the dead had
to go to potter's field. We felt the
shame of it, but what could we dor"

~Oh, yes. I used to come quite
often, but it's been five years since !

There's a big elm, with a limb
branching off to the left, and near by
is the tombstone of a soldier"
When we reached the space reserv-
ed for the bodies of the very poor she
was all attention, but we had walked
half mile before she identified the
tree.
Its right here that he was buried,
while the children's graves are further
down" she said as she stood by the
tree.
Next moment a wall of anguish
was wrung from her heart. Men had
been there and leveled the earth

the hOllows to prepare for other pau

1t was so further down. The rough
mounds which had once marked the
children's graves to a mothers eye
were there no longer.

And as we passed on she sank down
on the grass beneath the shade Of the
trees she had kept so long in mind,
and her fearful plants followed us
like those of some starving child des-
perate in his despair.

A CONTRAST IN VALUATIONS.

The marked difference between the
prices at which people value their land
for sale and that at which they. value it for
taxation has attracted attention at sporadic
intervals heretofore. But Allegheny City
has a case which casts all its predecessors
in the shade, and which may also bear
fruit in the matter of assessed valuations
During the excitement connected with
the location of new postoffice site there,
a very striking appreciation of realty was
noted. The fact that the United States
Government was the purchaser created a
belief in the minds of property owners
that their sections of terra frmG were
exceedingly valuable. The assessors have
made the discovery that in most cases the
valuation for taxation is one-third to one
half the valuation when purchase was
proposed, and the rectifcation of such
cases, with general revision of tax valua-
tions, is expected to raise the total of Allie
gheny's valuations fifty per cent.
Still, over here in Pittsburg, it looks as
if the Allegheny assessors should not raise
fuss over little thing like that. The
prices asked for the property needed for
an extension of the Jail reveal the fact
that the owners think it is worth, when
the county wishes to buy it, five times
what it is when the county wishes to tax
it Before this glaring discrepancy the
Allegheny contract hides its diminished
head
1t needs no argument to show that there
should be greater harmony between valu-
ations of land for taxation and valuations
for sale. There can be no law to restrain
mans privilege to put prohibitory
price on his property to private purchas-
ers; but, might it not have salutary effect
if the law should make the tax valuation
the basis for valuation wherever land is
needed by condemnation under the right
of eminent domain for public purposes?

examinations, pooling and the rest OF the
list, are not to be ignored; but their exist
ence is due to failure to insist on the pub
lie obligations of the highway as much
where it is under corporate control as
under political management
The Illustration of this principle takes
us back to the country roads again. There
was time.when respectable percentage
OF roads were improved and operated by
corporations The early turnpike and
plank-road corporations may have pre-
sented mild and rudimentary Illustration
OF the modern corporate abuses OF 1nslde
contracts, but they were wholly free from
the great public injustice of discrimlna-
tons and pooling. This was because the
character of the public highway was main
tanned in the right of every man to use his
own vehicle, such as was suited to the
character of the roadway. 1t is worth re-
membering that as rule the best roads
were those maintained by corporations.
The lapse, with but few exceptions, Of
these roads to public ownership has been
an involuntary adoption of the Socialist
policy, and the result has been a distinct
retrograde in the character of the roads.
The State Socialists are right in the view
that there are many things in our corpo-
late system that require amendment, but
with the example of our country roads
before them, it is difficult to see how they
can advocate public ownership as an i'm
provement on any condition.

Tho Handwriting on the Wall Points to
the Removal Of the Outrages.
New York World.l
The Russian famine is bearing the newt
able fruit of famine. Typhus has appeared,
and men, women and children are dying by
thousands of that most dreadful disease.
This famine is a crime. The Russian Gov.
ernment has produced it and is responsible
for it. That Government keeps about 600,
900 men under arms. That is to say, 1t with
draws 1000 GOO men from productive indus
try and taxes the rest of the people to sup
port them, not in idleness but in the most
costly and wasteful activity known to man.
Hence the poverty and the starvation.
Militarism in Russia has wrought famine
and pestilance. In the other great CONT
mental countries it entails poverty and
suffering upon millions. And militarism
is simply the device OF kings and aristoc-
racies to keep themselves in power, to pre-
serve their hereditary privilege of taking
and expressing the people, to maintain in
the end of the neneteenth century O false,
unjust and cruel medieval system of gov
ernment which denies the equal rights of
men and outrages humanity by its very ex-
istence. Sooner or later, and with such vi
olence as may be rendered necessary by tho
obstinaoy OF the wrongdoers, the people of
Europe will sweep away this system and
with it the evils it entails. That is the hand
writing on the wall.

The Only Way in Which to Gain q Knowl-
edge of Alaskan Territory.
Columbus Dispatch
The only way to acquire and diffuse in
telligence concerning Alaska is for the next
or some succeeding Congress to make an
appropriation which will fully cover the
expenses of an exploring party COM
posed of geogrnphers, astronomers, min
eralogists, and scientists and practical
men of every kind needed to obtain a full
and accurate knowledge of the country to
be gone over. An appropriation to cover
the cost of such an expedition failed to Sc
the last Congress- but it can be easily re-
vlved In the coming session.
1t is absolutely necessary that an enlight-
ened government like this should have an
accurate idea of its territory. Everyone
knows that we have no such knowledge of
Alaska. The north coast has been definite
ly located all the wav from Cape Prince of
Wales to Point Barrow; the mighty
Yukon is known for comparative
ly short part of its length, the
height Of the mountains near tile
western coast has been approximately de-
tcrmined, and well established report has
told us that there are great forests, vast
mineral beds and some arabic land. But
beyond this we know little. The Indians
the fauna and flora, the climatic conditions,
the features of the country back from the
coast are all as the contents of D sealed book.

low this construction of the New York
law by courteous refusals of the Afro
American applications for drink. The
New York theory may not jibe with the
Pennsylvania theory. In this State, as is
well known, all our saloons exist for the
entertainment of the travelling public. In
order that the waYfarer may be cared for
duly and orderly, it is the duty of the
licensed retailer to reject the applications
of minors, females, drunkards and dis
orderly characters; but there is no author
ity for refusing man drink because his
hair is red or his skin tawny. On
the other hand, in the theory of the law,
colored travellers from the regions of lower
Allegheny to the wilds of Fulton street,
Pittsburg, have the same claim for spirit
uous refreshment as the white voyager
from the East End to the jungles of Dia-
mond street.
At all events the average Pittsburg sa-
loon keeper will, upon application, give
the colored citizen his drink for the usual
consideration on a strictly cash basis
Whether the colored citizen might not,
however, justly claim damages for the
quality of the. whisky he gets is another
question.

CIVIL RIGHTS AT THE BAR,

1t should be understood that the award
of damages to the extent of several hun
dred dollars to T. Thomas Fortune, the
able editor of the colored organ of New
York, as result of a refusal to sell him a
drink in fashionable saloon did not arise
from that cause At least it is SO stated
by the Commercial Adoertiser, which de-
clares that the Judges charge based the
claim for damages on the fact that when
the editorial gentleman of color remon-
strated against the deprivation of his alco-
holic refreshment the floor was needlessly
wiped with his editorial person, ,and he was
lugged off to ignominious Incarceration.
The New York law, according to our
cotemporary, rests a large discretion in
the saloon keeper with regard to the dis
pensing of spirituous beverage He NAV
refuse man drink because he has red
hair, because he votes the wrong ticket or
because his clothes do not sit on him to
suit the fastidious taste of the Boni-
face. But he has not the right, if the
person refused wishes to discuss the
grounds of refusal, to use the disputant's
person for floor-mop or to escape the
logical consequences of the argument by
casting the debater into durance vile.
Hence the damages, which have fully
made up to the able T. Thomas Fortune
for his inability to get that drink
Nevertheless, we would not advise our
dispensers of alcoholic stimulants to fol-

OUR BRAZILIAN RELATIONS.
II is rather petulantly remarked bv the

1t is rather petulantly remarked by the
New York Tribune that:
The AngIomaniacs among us who have
been harassed by the success of the reci-
procity policy, are now abusing President
Fonseca TO their hearts content and wonder
ing whether the State Department will rec
ognize the military dictatorship. They will
probably come to their senses in a few days
and admit that it is not the function of
American diplomacy to interfere in any
way with the domestic affairs of South
American countries President Fonseca was
legally elected and now represents the only
de facto Government in Brazil. The State
Department will naturally continue its re-
lations with him as though nothing had
happened
If it is Anglomania to draw sharp dis
tinction between military relationships and
popular self-government, it is proper to
offer up thanks that this nation from its
earliest foundation has been governed on
Anglomaniac principles Otherwise it is
difficult to see what relevancy the refer
ence to Anglomania by the organ of the
Anglomaniac plutocracy has to the Brazil
ian question.
Nor indeed is it much palmer what peril
nence there is in setting up man of
straw, in the shape of an alleged proposal
that the United States shall question the
validity of his action in suspending the
sessions of Congress- solely for the sake
of overthrowing it. No one has proposed
either to do that or to cease to treat Fon-
SEGA as the de facto ruler of Brazil.
But a very little attention to the
lessons of experience should en-
able our Government to remem-
Der that, if the representative branch of
the Brazilian Government should deter
mine to assert popular rights it is not the
part of this Government 10 treat it as Gin
surgents or rebels Nor is it the part of
this country to let its diplomatic and naval
representatives establish close terms of in
timacy or friendship with professed
usurper of absolute power.
Beyond that, as this country somewhat
prematurely and indiscreetly bubbled with
enthusiasm over what was alleged to be
the establishment of popular government
in Brazil, it is no more than our right to
make an equally prominent recognition of
the fact that the popular government was
pretense; that Fonseca, under the dis
guise of a republic, concealed military
rule more arbitrary than Dom Pedro's
ever was, and that he has now thrown all
disguise aside and rules simply by the title
of a military uSurper.
