America Through a Dukes Eyes
Prom the San Francisco News Letter.
Toe Duke of Marlborough, when
he visited this country, did not re-
ceivs very delicate treatment from
American newspapers. They called
him a cad, and they gave abundant
proof that he acted like q cad on
many occasions. Yet there is
more in the descendant of the hero of
Blenheim than one would suppose
from his actions while engaged liz the
sport of stalking an American
heiress. The Duke has just written
an article for The New
Review, in which he sums up his
observations of American life, aud
presents comparisons between it and
English life. 1t is by all odds the
fairest article of its kind that has
been written in recsnt years by any
Eng lishman. 1t may be that the
coin which his American wife brought
him sOftened the Dukes anger to-
ward her people. II may be that the
clearing of of many annoying debts
and the renewal of the shabby but
historical Blenheim Castle, cleared
his vision. Whatever the reason. he
has certainly judged many aspects OF
American life fairly, and he makes
some suggestions that are worthy
of attention. He was struck with
the an0urm Jus influence of the law
yers'and of the practical control which
they have quietly obtained of all the
lawmaking apparatus in this country.
Next to them he regards the million.
aires as the chief desositsries of pow
er. He was evidently powerfully
impressed with the spectacle of men
who had made forty or fifty millions
by their own shrewduess and the
luck of circumstances. SO Sir Edwin
Arnold was impressed, when he
made his first visit hereseveral years
ago, and q Bohemian asked him
whether he would like to
see some of our literary men
or some of our millionaires.
"Oh, show me the millionaires," was
the prompt reply. The Duke predicts
that the next generation will see al
enormous increase In the luxury OF
life in America, due TO the piling uI
of colossal fortunes, He thinks the
sons of the very rich men will not be
content to slave as their fathers are
shaving, simply to pile up millions
He profesies that ssthey will descend
upon Europe and make more costly
pictures, books and every object o
art. We think h is at fault, as many
other clever observers have been,
when treating of this aspect Of Amer
lean life. The great fortunes can no
be kept intact, and the tendency
among many of the rich Is to revert &
simpler life. There is no question
that new mechanical devices and tn
cheapening OF hundreds of articles
that were Oucs luxuries will raise th'
average of comfort among those wh'
work for their bread IN the sweat o
their brows, but that we will eve
have a large leisure class, devotet
wholly to culture and pleasure, is no
probable, The Puritan strain or
dares we'll. The American inherits
genius for work and q contempt TO
mere idlihg, which cannot be afface
even by great wealth. so it the Duk
could return, say In the year 1000, 1
the guise of q historic New Zealande
he would find the conditions of lIi
much as they are today, with th
chief aim of three-quarters of Amer
cans - the piling up of the almight
dollar.

TburIow Weed and LincOin's Nom

ThurIow Weed and Lincoin's NOM
tnation.
From the Cleveland Leader.
Tn the course of his speech at the
recent Lincoln dinner given by the
Unconditional Club, of Albany, will
liam III. McElroy told the following:
There lie a story in which Mr.. Linz
coin figures which connects him, al
though in rather a droll way, with
Albany. 1t was told me by that dis
tinguished Republican. Seward, the
sun of Mr.. Lincoln's great Secretary
of State. Ia 1860, Thurlow weed,

The nomination of William ID. sew
ard for the presidency. George
Dawson, Mr.. Weeds associate In the
management of the Journal, accom-.
napied him. so the paper was LETT in
charge of Fred Seward, as he was
then called. IL was foregone con.
ciusion to Mr.. Weed that Mr.. Seward
would be nominated. Accordingly,
taking time by the forelock, before
leaving for Chicago he loaded the
lofts of the Journal building with
the works, which were to be touched
off on the joyful evening of the mem
orable day of the nomination. me
morning when the Convention was
to begin balloting Mr.. Weed tele-
graphed Fred from Chicago to hold
back the last edition of the paper UNI
Gil he got news of his fathers nomi-
nation. The leader com nendipg the
nomination was in type; the rockets
and Roman candles were ready to
food the sky with many tinted glory;
the ticket-ior president, William d.
Seward, of New York-was also In
type, aud Fred sat serenely in the
Journals sanctum waiting for the
tormal-but to him rather unneces-
sary-anuouncem that the favor
tie had beaten the field.
That was the situation when, after
the third ballot at Chicago, q tele-
gram WIS handed Fred announcing
that the Republican National Con
vention had nominated Abraham
Lincoln, of Illinois. We may be sure
that tor few minutes Fred was q
prey to his emotions. He must have
felt as if he had been interviewefby
a cyclone with a dynamite attach
ment. But the instinct of the trained
journalist soon asserted itself and he
got to work. There was q Seward
leader to be killed and a Lincoln
leader to be prepared. But, before
sitting down to write, he scratched
off For President, Abraham Lincoln,
of Illinois, and told a messenger to
take 1t to the composing room and
explain 20 the foreman that that was
the ticket which was to go to the
masthead.
Presently an excited voice came
down the tube connecting the sane
tum and the composing room. 1t
was the voice of the paralyzed fore
man. himself an admirer of William
II. Seward, ordinarily an amisble
foreman, but when his temper was
ruffied, more emphatic than genteel
in the use of the language, which he
rendered in nervous, fslsetto tones.
"Ballo, Mr.. Seward" the foreman
scream d down the tube.
"Woll, what is ii?' said Mr.. sew
ard
with as much indignation as the
tube would hold the foreman in
quired: Say, Mr.. Seward, what id

A Grave Problem.

WASHING TON, Nov. IS Special +
For sometime past there have been
reports that the administration would
recommend to Congress in December
the imposition of an additional tax of
forty cents gallon on distilled spirits
to meet the deficit feared, owing to
heavy pension payments. 1t can be
stated on good authority that there is
very little probability. it, indeed, even
possibility, that Secretary Foster, of
the Treasury, from whom such recon-
mend tion would naturally come, will
recommend any increase OF taxation on
distilled spirits or anything else to Con-
gress. The condition of the Treasury
will be discussed by him in his an
nual report and the state of the finances
exhibited, but the Secretary believes
the whole subject Of taxation should be
left TO the incoming Democratic admin
istration. AS the Democrats have been
elected on that issue, the question of
raising revenues for the support of the
government will be left to it. The
problem is admittedly one of gravity.

a Refugoe From Venezuela Says Crespo
is Usurper
New York, Nov. 1S.-[Special The
Red cd" line steamer Philadelphia ar
rived OF her pier in Brooklyn this morn
ing with Vicente Mijares, ex-governor
of Caracas, political refugee abroad.
The passengers were loud in their
praise of the patriotic and courageous
stand taken by Captain Chambers in
refusing to give up tho fugitive. The
steamship agent says the Philadelphia
acted under the ad vice of the American
representatives in Venezuela and that
the trouble is ono for the two govern
mcntS to settle.
Mijeres Was secretary of the interior
and governor of Caracas under Presi-
dent Palacio, and claims that the charge
of cattle stealing made against him was
trumped up to get him into prison.
Mijares says everything is quiet on the
surface in Venezuela, but he predicts
another big revolution against the pres
ent government inside of a year. He
says Crespo is as much Of o usurper as
Palacio, and has thrown into prison
about 200 prominent Venezuolans who
differ from him in their political belief
and opinions.

DIRKcT TAXATION.

The duties on wool and wooden manu-
Tho duty on tin plate foots up about
'e6,000 900. phe present revenues of the
government are barely sufficient to pay
its expenses. The Democratic party is
pledged to radical reductions and
-eliminations OF the protective features
Of the tariff.
If it makes radical reductions, the
government will be compelled 10 adopt
one or more of three courses to raise
revenues: BY specific taxes, as in the
present internal revenue system: by an
Income tax, or by direct taxation.
THE TIMES does not hesitate in de-
claring that direct tax on property is
the cheapest and most economical Of all
taxes. 1t falls most evenly and justly
upon property and not upon individuals,
and is losh open to evasions. The only
sound objection to it is the popular and
unreasonable prejudice against direct
which ever became rampant.
We believe the American people
would listen with great patience to
President Cleveland should he be as
bold in his inaugural address as he was
six years ago in his famous tariff mos
sage to Congress and argue for direct
taxation.
A hundred million dollars would be
added TO the federal income by direc.
tax OF four mills on the dollar of az.
sessed values. or that revenue SO, 900.
900 people would pay one-half and the
other 10, 600, 600 the rest. hat tax of four
mills would be less than two mills on
the dollar on the actual wealth of the
country. And IL would permit of the
most radical reform OF the tariff
In some places the tariff played an
important part in the recent elections.

THE SCHOOLS.

The extended interview with School
Superintendent Derr, published else
where in THE TIMES, is plain state
pent of the public school question.
There is no more expensive economy
than that which cuts service below the
people, with school population of
5000, cannot afford to let its public
schools'dr!ft without the close, imme-
'diate and constant oversight of q school
superintendent, whose whole time
should be devoted to their interests.
The public schools of Roanoke are as
important to the moral and intellectual
growth of Roanoke as the Machine
Works and furnaces are to it material
property. 1t shonld be remembered
that the whole schooling of three
fourths of the rising generation of Roa.
noke will be had in our public schools
alone. Yet the schools are being
hampered by lack of necessary atten-
ton. We pay three members of the
board of public works good salaries and
support an expensive city engineer
Office to superintend the public works
of Roanoke. Yet by the force of in.
'ersia we, perforce, let the public school
system drag along without the full SER
vices OF u supeiintende mt.
The matter is worthy of early and
decisive attention.
