THE COST OF WAR.

The New York Sun recently col
lected some interesting statistics on
the money cost Of the war between
the States. From these figures the
Memphis Appeal-Ayalanche has Sc
lected a few for the purpose Of COM
ment. At the time the war broke
out the estimated value of all prop
erty in the Southern States was,
according to the census figures Of
1860, as follows:
Virginia, 93,249,6S1; Georgia,
$545,8 ,237; Florida, 1913, 1Ol, 500;
Alabama, 1886, 237, O7S; North Car
olina, S358, 739,399; South Carolina,
54S,13S, 754; Louisiana, $6G2,118,-
568, Mississippi, 1907, 324,9 oil; Ar
kansas, $2l9, 256,473; Texas, $685.
200,614; Tennessee, 493,903.892;
total wealth of the eleven States,
$5,2O2,166,2O7.
The Sun shows that the country
has paid out thus far as a result
of the war SIS, 425, 1856, 017, which is
So, 223, 018,810 more than the entire
value Of the States which were CO.
creed back into the Union. Nor is
this all, for we are still paying war
interest, and the pension expendi-
lures are increasing enormously
every year. Commenting on these
figures the Appeal-Avalanche says
One thing is very evident from all this,
and that is that war doesn't pay. 1t is
entirely too expensive a luxury, and il
leaves behind it passions and contentious
which years upon years can hardly erase
OF course, the South is paying her par
Of this enormous expenditure, and wher
the whole account is wiped out we do no
doubt that she will have an amount large
enough to have bought the entire clever
States that tried to secede from the Tn
ion in 1861. The figures of the late wa
are an unanswerable argument for peace
and we would respectfully commend
them to Professor BENJAMIN HARRISON
of Leland Stamford University, in hi
lectures on international law.

Mr.. cLEvELANp,s POLICY.

President CLEVELAND has fully
decided on four points in his mes
sage to Congress which indicate the
policy of his administration. They
are, first, an income tax; second, re-
peal Of the 10 per cent. tax on State
banks; third, repeal Of the Sherman
act; fourth, the modification of the
tariff tax. President CLEVELAND
and Secretary CARLISLE have given
much time to the study of means to
raise revenues. The present I'M
certainty of what will be the pro-
visions Of the new tariff bill when
it becomes a law has the natural
tendency to decrease importations,
as no importer will bring in goods
at the present rate of duties when
there is a probability that ere long
there will be material decrease in
import duties. Consequently, the
revenues of the Government are
constantly decreasing, nor will they
increase sufficiently when importa-
lions are resumed under the pro-
posed new rate Of duty to meet the
expenses Of the Government. 1t
was inevitable that the President
and his Secretary of the Treasury
should look about for new sources
of revenue. Both Mr.. CLEVELAND
and Mr.. CARLISLE are satisfied OF
the practicability of the income tax
as safe and acceptable method Of
raising revenue, but only the gen.
eral recommendations Of the estab-
lishment of an income tax will be
made by the President. Details
will be left to Congress. Whether
there shall be tax on incomes o.
$1,000 and over, or whether the TAI
shall begin only at $4,000 are de
tails which the President has no
considered. In his message it il
understood that Mr.. CLEvELAN1
will advise the necessity and prac
ticability Of the tax, leaving the res
to Congress.

charged with unofficial conduct Of a
most repfehensible character, and
it is the duty of the State to inves-
tigate the charges, regardless Of the
amount Of cost involved. If he is
innocent, he should be given every

acter; if he is guilty as charged, q
Judge thus unfortunate is unfit to
preside over a court of dignity and
Importance, and should be deposed.
Judge DUBosE should be held
amenable to the laws of the State
just as much SO as any other indi-
vidual violator Of the statutes and
the expense Of dealing out impair
tial justice can not be used as an
objection in this OF any other trial
where the dignity Of the law is in
volved.
By his own acts he has succeeded
in arraying against himself many
good men Of Memphis and Shelby
County; grave charges have been
preferred against him in his official
character, and it would have been
a disgrace to the State for these
charges to have gone unchallenged,
From the testimony Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution, which
ended last week, public opinion has
been rapidly crystalizing, anG it is
decidedly unfavorable for Judge
DUBosE. His own testimony has
failed to present the case in a new
or more favorable aspect, and the
testimony Of other witnesses for the
defense does not materially relieve
the situation for him.
