REFoRMIN TAX METHODS.

The lecture of LOUIS F. Posi-, of New
York city, tomorrow night in Music
hall, should be attended by all those
who are interested-and who are not
in the question of taxation. 1t was a
question of taxation that overthrow the
Republican party in the last campaign !;
it was question of taxation that made
Boston harbor tea pot over hundred
years ago and created this Union; it
was question of taxation that brought
LOUIS XVI. TO the guillotine. Our social
economics today are inextricably inter
woven with 1t. All these greater queS-
lions that are looming GU the horizon of
politics turn on it.
The legislatures of every state are
wrestling with the problem of taxation.
Our own law books are replete with
laws original, amended and discarded.
Courts have replaced auditors and treas
urers in our latest methods because it
was thought they would bring greater
care and certainty Of revenue. But the
results are no better than when the
sheriff collected or the treasurer sold.
Our law reports surrender large por-
ton of their space to decisions of tax
cases.
In spite of 1t all, in spite of the ex-
perience of hundred years of effort,
our legislature is trying yet to devise
some means of compelling a divulge-
ment of property to the assessor, and it
finds no warrant in the result in other
states that any measure it may adopt
will be whit more successful. Every
body admits the failure of our attempts
to reach and tax personal property. 1t
is one of the grotesque failures of gov
ornamental experimentation.
Mr.. Posi- comes to advocate the single
tax; the centering of all taxes on land
values only. He is qualified to speak,
and will speak well and entertainingly,
if not convincingly. He is one of HENRY
GEORGES earliest and ablest disciples,
and was for time editor of the Stand
ard. He advocates a reform that has
quietly, persistently made its way
among thinking men until it is surpris-
ing how many men one meets who have
come 10 the conclusion that, as practi-
cal manner of raising revenues the con-
centration OF all taxes on land values
alone is the fairest, most equal, simplest
and best. The GLOBE bespeaks for Mr..
Posi- full house and candid hearing.

England Strengthens a Weak

CALCUTTA. March 14-The British
have had severe battle with the tribes
beyond Chltral. where the British have
for some time been endeavoring to
strengthen the Indian frontier against
the possibility OF Russian encroachment.
The British recently occupied Chilas,
beyond Chitral, with gar
rison. and fortified the place
with the intention of holding 1t perma-
nently. The mountain tribes took
otfense and made an attack on the tort,
which was brayely defended by the
British. The conflict was desperate and
sanguinary, and the natives were
at length driven off with loss
of 200 men. The British then took
the aggressive and marched against
the entrenched villages of the hostile
tribes. Owing 10 the mountainous char

extremely hazardous. but the British
troops acquitted themselves CALAMITY.

Every point occupied by the hostile
natives was carried. The British loss
was twenty-three killed and thirty
wounded in the fighting. The tribes

greatly strengthens the British position
at what was considered its weakest
point in the vicinity of the Hindu-Kush.

TARIFFS BRED COMPETITORS

When it became clear, after the close of
our war and the full resumption of our
powers Of production, that this nation
had fallen under the control of those
who believe that foreign purchases are
all loss and that everything needed
should be made at home, we obliged
foreign nations to seek new outlets for
their products. England, whose free
trade had made her the capitalist among
the nations, began at once the develop
ment of the prOduetiYeness of countries
to which she sent her products, in those
things she needed. She threaded the
valleys of India with her railroads,
reaching the hitherto inaccessible pla-
teaus where wheat could be grown. She
pursued a similar course with the Ar
gentine Republic. About the opening
of the last decade the fruits of this pol
icy began to appear. Wheat from India
and from the ArgentineS began to reach
Liverpool, and has since been coming
in increasing quantities. The latter
country, from being an importer of
wheat and -four, produces $4,000. 900
bushels, and India's production last
year was 235.00O,OO bushels. The two
produce about half the quantity raised
by this country.
The American wheat grower has voted
persistentIy with the party which was
to give him home market for his prod
uce, but never has, while he has only
succeeded in aiding the development of
competitors who have been largely in
strumental in reducing the price of his
staple i'll both the home and the for
eign markets. If he learns wisdom
from past folly, he will cease prating
about free coinage and characterization
and begin agitatIng for absolute free
dom of exchange. He must sell in free
trade markets, whether he will or not;

ANoTHEn STORY,
But 1t Seems TO Fit the Case of Mr..
Roach.


The spasm Of gaseous virtue which
prompted Frank Hatton and few little
news mongers in Washington to exploit
the story of Senator Roach's youthful
error makes very apropos this incident
narrated by the gifted editor OF the
Courier-Journal in one of his lectures.
We commend it. especially its moral, to
the Washington harpies: ''
That was queer story Henry Waiter
son told in his lecture about defalca-
ton case in Louisville. He said that
several years ago gentleman holding
commanding commercial and social
position in the Kentucky metropolis
had used the funds of the corporation of
which he was the trusted and financial
head, and when the day of accounting
came he found he was short in his ac-
counts. The time was too brief to make
the deficit good, and his own funds
were in such shape that he was mex
tricably entangled. He was an honest
man, but in a moment of OvercOntidence
had permitted himself 10 deviate from
the narrow path just enough to use the
firms cash as temporary loan, prOmiS-
/ ing to return it promptly.
When the time came he could not
Instead of waiting the inevitable dis
cOvery he called a meeting of the di-
rectors. made a straightforward con-
feSSion, resigned his position, threw
himself upon the mercy CT the court. so
to speak. and pledged himself to pay
every dollar if lie were not exposed and
prosecuted. An animated discussion
followed. and a large majority were in
favor of giving the delinquent chance.
His hitherto high standing and un-
doubted business ability were in his
favor, not to mention that he might
have skipped if ne had desired. Two Of
the directors held out. They thought
it would be compromising felony, and
it was an awful thing 10 let such man
loose upon the unSuspecting commu-
nifty. But they were 0utvOted, and the
defaulter was given another chance. He
is now wealthy and prosperous husl-
ness man of Louisville.
Two years after his misfortune one of
the TWO men who had objected to his
release was fugitive in TeXas, charged
with embeZZlement, and at the end of
another year the other fled to Canada to
escape arrest on the same charge. In
the whirlgig of time this prosperous
merchant, whose early misfortune these
TWO men had endeaVOred to turn into
disgrace and calamity, was the foreman
of the grand jury that indicted the two
fqgitlveS.
