The scramble over the borders of the
Cherokee strip begins today. Reports in
dictate that thousands will be disappointed,
as there Is not enough land to go around.
Under such conditions II Is to be deplored
that there is not some effective means of
preventing speculation. SO that the actual
settler seeking a farm would not have to
contend In an unseemly race against land
sharks. Ultimately the farmers will get
the land, but not until many of them have
paid a heavy toll to the swarm Of heeter
scramblers. who go without baggage and
pose as settlers for what there Is In 1t for
them

The inability Of the government to get a
naval vessel to Rio In quick time may re-
suit seriously to American interests there,
and even IL 1t does not the occasion has its
lesson. Secretary Herbert's prompt meas
ures In the case of the Atlanta will un-
doubtedly do much to brace up the navy,
so vessels in commission will be in readi-
ness for instant service. The present diff
fculty relates more to general admlnistra-
ton than to lack of efficiency OF diligence
on the part of ships officers. and may re-
suit In reforms In other directions. which,
combined with those already inaugurated
by Mr.. Herbert, will result in producing a
navy that will be always ready for active
service

IT Is pleasant to note that in these hard
tunes one industry seems to be extremely
profitable and that is train robbing. It is
an industry. too. carried on without any
protective legislation, so tariff reformers
may find in 1T an argument to help their
case. There are some features of the north
EN- Michigan robbery which ought to be
studied by men going into business. In
stead Of organizing a large company as
did the Indiana robbery. requiring a divi-
sion Of the plumber which gave each share
holder only about 1900. the Michigan men
had close corporation of only four men.
AS a result their profits. after deducting all
expenses for masks and ammunition. reach
nearly $4,000 each, a comfortable figure to
compensate them for the wear and tear on
the nerves

those proposed by Mr.. Trimble, although
more deliberately stated. The method he
suggests, would, he thinks, insure the pay
ment Of taxes by those who have the means
to Day them. In view Of the high assess
ment of property he favors an abatement
of ten per cent Of the taxes and suggests
the deduction of ten per cent from the first
half Of the taxes IL paid In November and
ten per cent from the second half If paid
In May, no rebate being allowed on the
excess If more than one half is paid in
November. This would discourage any ad-
vance payments and to some extent, on
that account keep money in circulation
In the case of the poorer class who, on ac-
count of financial stress might be unable
to pay promptly, he would favor the sus-
pension Of the penalty Of two per cent a
month imposed upon delinquen.s and allow
all taxes for the present year paid before
June 80. 1891, to be received without penalty
1t requires but little study to see that Mr.
Petty's proposition is substantially the same
as Mr.. Trimble's-to permit a postpone
ment of the November payments until May
without penalty. and to allow a discount
Of ten per cent to those paying the half Of
their taxes due in November The tax COL
lector could not, Of course. discriminate
and rich and Door alike might postpone
their payments until May without penalty,
everybody being assumed to be Door, at
present. so far as ready money is con-
cerned. Neither proposition seems to make
any better provision for a postponement of
tax payments than the existing law, for
persons who now settle their taxes prompt
ly in order to avoid the payment of penal
ties, would under either Of the pending
proposals be equally as prompt in order to
save the offered discount or premium which
would amount. 50 far a mans cash ac-
count went. to the same thing as a penalty
for delinquency. II Mr.. Trimble's plan was
not approved as a means Of avoiding the
expected drain Of money from the city, there
Is little reason why Mr.. Pettys should re-
ceive approval in such connection. There
is another light. however. in which both
propositions are worth consideration. Prac-
tically outside Of the postponement feature
both are merely proposals to reduce taxes
ten per cent. and this reduction, It is
claimed. is desirable under the increased
assessment. Instead of speaking of the
abatement of ten per cent for prompt pay
ment, the proposal might be worded In this
way and 1t would be the same in effect:
taxes will be reduced ten per cent and q
penalty OF ten per cent imposed upon de-
nnquents. About the same conditions are
proposed as would exist If the taxes were
reduced directly without any roundabout
way Of getting at 1t. and the present legal
penalty Of two per cent per month for de-
hnquency were enforced. Considered, there
fore, as suggestions looking to the reduc-
ton Of taxes. and not as means of avoid
Ing the November payment, the proposals
should receive attention. and, If 1t is found
that the tax levy under the new assessment
Is so high as to justify such a reduction.
should be approved

There Is evidently a good field for the

she has been driven from this field of labor
by taunts. assisted by an occasional bonn

by other women. Now, Mrs. Poiizzi, not
