GRIPPING THE OCTOPUS.

1t is unfortunate that the few scat
tering Republicans in the lower house
should so seriously object to Dem
ocratic plans for relieving people of
some of the most Onerou5 burdens of
the MCKINLEY law. 1t is unfortunate
because Republican objection creates
antagOniSm and eXciteS friction. The
entente cordiale becomes sadly warped,
with threatening indications of COM
plete fracture. But the saddeSt evil
dence of Republican loss Of confidence
in Democratic legislation lies in vigor-
GUS Republican protest against the
Democratic plan of destroying the Nc
KINLEY bill in detail, instead of open
ing broadsides all along the line on the
measure as totality. The New
York Tribune goes to the extreme
of declaring: 1.-THE piecemeal policy
is not straightforward or manly, but it
will deceive nobody" Undoubtedly the
Tribune is correct. Nobody will be de-
ceived. Indeed, deception is not the
actuating motive of the movement.
Democratic congressman will, certainly,
not deceive themselves or their coDstit-
uents by fostering the delusion that the
MCKINLEY law can be successfully at
tackled en- bloc. Democrats will know
that the Republican senate and presi-
dent will not permit any general re-
vision of the tariff this year. To grasp
at all would be to lose the whole. But
it is believed by leading Democratic
congressman that separate bills for re-
duetion of tariff duties on wool, binding
Irvine, etc., etc., will not be antagonized
by senators representing the interests
of Western constituencies. This is the
plan SO severely condemned by the Re
publican minority in the lower house,
and in which they see nothing but the.
to them, abhorrent probability of sue
cess. Marine divers unite in saying
that the most efficacious way to free
ones self from the deadly embrace of
the octopus is to lop off, one by one, it's
tentacles with Ratchet. The octopus
of the MCKINLEY law will be treated in
similar heroic manner in congress tur-

Gus parts of the state is onerous, but
this is merely by the way. No one
would object to the expenditure of
money made in carrying on the cumber-
some educational machine of the state,
if theresults were what they should be.
There are some weigbty objections
urged against the system aud its results.
To begin with, the schools of the state
are seemingly conducted with the sole
idea of turning out lawyers, doctors,
ministers and other professional men.
Go where you will in the higher grade
schools, and in none is good word said
for the occupations of mechanic and
farmer.
Why is it that the farmers boy will
not remain on the old farm and be SatlS-
fled to become solid, substantial and
contented citizen? Is it not due to the
fact that the ways of modern education
have diScredited an occupation which.
up to few years ago, was considered
the most honorable of all? JEFFERSON,
WASHINGTON, RANDOLPH, MADISON,
and host of the greatest Americans
were farmers. and loved it above all
jeerS and jibes were not leveIed at the
farmer i'll theater, school. college and
everywhere else. No states then con-
sidered it incumbent upon them to
maintain law, medical, dental and other
professional schools for the sake of
making the entrance into profession
as easy as possible.
The universities of the country point
to great lawyers, great statesmen, great
physicians, and distinguished men
everywhere, but they never tell stu
dent of the penniless professional man
who has given his life TO a pursuit for
which he was untitled. The teacher of
today never intimates that prosperous
farmer, or the industrious. well-paid
mechanic is happier and better citizen
than the professional gentleman"
These are some of the mistakes of the
educational systems of the day which
must be rectifed, or the whole thing
will be swept away.

EGYPT'S NEW KHEDIVE.

1t is pleasant to learn that young
Abbas, thenew Khedive, already speaks
English. Young Abbas will do we'll to
keep up his English, for it is the En-
glish mainly that will keep up young
Abbas.-New York Advertiser.
Abbas Pasha, the new khedive of
Egypt, talks English like native.
Like most of the children of royalty, he
had an English nurse and COY erness TIL
he was twelve years old. He will get
considerable English nursing in. his
new sphere, too.-ChicagO Tribune.
Young Abbas, the new khedive of
Egypt, is said to have a Circassian
strain. AS he came through the Cairo
harem, that is probably true, and he is
doubtless all the better for it. The
Egyptian stock can be improved by al
most any admiXture; but the ruling
force in Egypt for the next century will
be English. diluted with German.-New

TAXATION OF PERSONAL
PROPERTY.

Comptroller WEMPLE, of New York,
III his annual report submitted to the
legislature few days ago. discusses
several phases of the taxation problem
in an interesting and valuable manner.
During his term of Office at Albany he
has made study of the different ways
of reaching property for purposes of
taxation, and has prepared bill which,
If passed, will remove real property
from all except local taxes levied for
the support Of town, county or city. In
this report Comptroller WEMPLE states
that the assessed valuation OF property
in New York for the year Of 1890 was:
Personal, $3.50, 329. ISL; real, S5,39S, 325.-
93l. In 1891 the assessed valuation
showed an increase of SOS, 910, 74S on real
property. and adecrease of IS, 10, O64 on
personal. Twenty years ago, in 1871,
the assessed valuation of personal prop
erty in New York reached the sum of
S452, 607, 1872. This shows a decrease of
over S70.000,000 in the annual valuation
during period when every man knows
there has been rapid increase in the
accumulations of personal property in
New York, as we'll as all other states of
the Union.
Comptroller WEMPLE expresses the
belief that over 81, 500, 900, 600 OF personal
property escapes taxation i'll New York,
which is probably very conservative
estimate. AS will be seen from the as
Sessed valuation of the two classes of
property, real estate is paying 80 and
personal property but 10 per cent of the
state taxes in New York The various
plans OF taxing corporations are conSid-
cred, ami the recommendation made
that a reasonable tax be levied upon
the income paid upon the bonded debt
OF corporations and joint stock COM
panieS, the amount of this tax to be de-
Quoted by the corporations from the
sums paid the holders, and by the
former paid into the state treasury.
Such tax Comptroller WEMPLE be-
lieveS will lift some of the burdens from
the shoulders of the real estate owners
of the state, and be generally satisfac-
tory. In closing this discussion of the
taxation problem, Mr.. WEMPLE says:
Time and experience have strengthened
my belief that all the revenues for ordinary
expenses of the state gOvernm mt should be
raised from special taxes upon the capital
and business Of corporations, corporate Sc
curities and interest inheritances and tesla
mentary requests and other special subjects
for leyying duties, without resort to any
direct tax upon real property. Such mode of
raising revenues to support the state govern
ment would limit the taxation of real prop
erty for county, town and municipal pur
poses exclusively. and would permit the
in the towns and wards where situated, sub
ject to the interested scrutiny of the owners
themselves, who would thus be melted to Wig
lance in seeing that every species of prop
erty is equitably assessed and made to pay its
fair share of taxes.

the ballots is believed to be specially
commendable. A single cross opposite
the party heading carries the full ticket
unless the voter sees fit to put cross
opposite some of the names in one of
the other tickets. The change the gov
ernor would have is to put cross oppo-
site every name voted. The law, as it
stands, gives that privilege if the voter
sees fit, and many of the voters did so
mark their tickets at the last election.
This is to be made compulsory.
This is a change in the wrong
direction. No valid reason can be
assigned for it. Possibly it is as
sumed that more Democratic than Re-
publican votes in that state will be lost
by this needless and onerous eXaction.
The laboring classes are largely Demo
cratic, and. perhaps, on the average not
50 nimble with the pencil as the Repub-
licans. The ballot should be made as
simple and as free from complications
as possible. Every legal voter has the
same right to its fullest exercise, and
to require skill and adeptneSs in the
preparation of the ballot is to deprive
many of its rightful expression. In
great state like Ohio, where the tickets
are lengthy, as few marks as possible
should be required.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Not less than fifty
thousand persons visited the body of
Cardinal Manning, lying in state in the
Chapelle Ardente, at the cardinals
house at Westminster. Most of the Wis
itors were workingmen, and many of
them testified by tears to their affection
for the departed prelate, an affection,
apparently, which had nothing to do
with religion, as it was evident that
the large majority had come ir-
respective OF religious faith. Among
the visitors were leaders of nearly
every trade organization in London, and
outside they could be heard expressing
in earnest tones their appreciation of
the dead cardinals service to the cause
of labor. Chief Rabbi Nathan NJ. Adler
alluded in his services on Saturday to
the breadth and humanity of Cardinal
Manning's mind, and especially to his
cordial support of the effort to obtain
amelioration of the condition of the
prosecuted Hebrews of Russia. In most
of the churches and chapels there was
some mention of the cardinal as well as
of the duke.

South Dakota is gaining rather I'M
savory reputation as the refuge for dis
gruntied married people who are anx-
ious for the easy severIng of the matri
monial bonds. and it seems that d.
vorces are granted out in that country
with "neatneSS and dispatch" all of
which is quite an immigration boom to
the dried-up, ambitious new common
wealth. There certainly ought to be a
reform regarding the granting of di-
vorceS and instead of every state enact
ing laws on the subject, national law
should be passed which would be effect
i've alike i'll all the states and territories.

EDUCATIONAL MISTAKES.

Education is a good thing. Much
learning does not make men mad. But
state that permits generation to grow
up within its borders without reverence
for authority, with distaste for honest
work, and with no welI-disciplined
knowledge of the principles of just gov
eminent and of the history of successes
and defeats by which we come to know
what government is, will sooner or later
reach humiliation and sorrow. Self-pres-
ervation is the first law of nature. 1t is
likewise as certainly the first law of ma
tions. The community or state that
neglects attention to those principles
which underlle its safety, it's growth
and its perpetuity will as surely decline
as that individual who neglects the
proper precautions of food, shelter and
raiment will soon close his miserable
existence.
Minnesota and her people are accus-
toned to boast of the educational sys-
tenn of the state. There is vast school
fund already, and there are yet many
millions to be added to it when the gifts
of the national government have all
been turned into cash. And yet the
school tax imposed on property in Yari-

THE RIGHT POLICY.

The Minneapolis Tribune inSinuates
by cartoon that the HOLMAN resolutions
which have been adopted by the house
are hostile to appropriations for pen
sions and the existence of soldiers
homes. That is the absurdity of par
tisanship, There is nothing in the let
ter or spirit of the declarations to war
rant any such imputation. The Demo-
Gratis have never been wanting in lIber-
ality toward the needy soldiers of the
country. In the interest of the truly
meritoriOuS the pension lists should be
purged of frauds, and the country ex-
poets that rigid investigation will be
had Of the pension department, and
some light will be shed upon the in
.quiry as to whether it has been oper-
ated more in the interest OF claim agents
than the deserving veterans. Still, this
has nothing to do with the HoI-
MAN resolutions. The first one stands
squarely against the Republican policy
of bounties, subsidies and giving finan-
clal cOuntenance to the business meas
ureS of individuals or corporations.
There can be no S100,OO0, 600 entangle-
ment with the Nicaragua canal, nor
will there be access given to the treas
ury to support Improbable steamship
lines. The policy of subsidies and boun-
ties is not too strongly characterized as
wrong and ineQuitable. 1t may not be
unconstitutional, but it is unjust and
against public policy. The Republicans
were not able to master more than half
their vote in opposition to this declara-
ton. The second resolution is but
a committal to retrenchment and
economy in expenditures. There is
nothing in it to suggest any niggardli-
ness in the treatment Of any public in
terest. If it should be deemed best to
further aid the worlds fair, it can be
done. Reasonable appropriations for
public building or Improvements of
works of general utility are not de-
barred. OBLIGATIONS by virtue of former
legislation will be respected, and Mr..
HOLMAN explained that even private
pension bills would not be shut out
appropriate and legitimate legisla-
ton" is an elastic phrase, but it is be-
lieved it will be construed nationally, in
the spirit of reform and economy. The
people will approve the declaration of
the house, and expect to see it permeate
all the acts of congress.

Roger Latimer's Mistake is a love story,

passages of more than usual merit. The plot
is slight. Roger Latimer, a young lawyer

and deserts his betrothed, Margaret the
daughter of a professor in a suburban town,
for Marie Edwards. society woman of the
sensuously beautiful type. He marries Marie,
who dies after few years, leaving him free
to return to his faithful first love. He is on
the whole, rather a contemplate character.

cially through violent measures. In

Reyes has organized five columns of
ranchers for operations between Laredo

if the American troops force
the ''bauditS" to cross over
to this side their capture
IS sure. But TO do this it is considered
that Stanley needs more troops. The
rumOrs OF revolutionary proceedings in
Durango, Sonora and Cohahuila are
without foundation. The government
has received offers of service from many
officers. but has declined them on the
ground that no necessity for their sery-
ice exists. The government is not
sending more troops to the Northern
frontier, considering the presence of
additional forces there unnecessary.
