A New York Herald Editorial

The story that the New York Herald
property is to be turned into a stock
company and capitalized at $4,000, 900
was ridiculous one The Herald is
worth five times So 100000 1t seems
that the absurd report was started by
Reuters news agency, and an editorial
in The Herald the other day, evidently
inspired by Mr.. Bennett himself, states
that unless a categorical denial of the re-
port be made legal proceedings for libel
will be instituted.
The editorial referred to is breezy
one-that is to say, for The Herald, which
turns out rather dull editorial page as
a rule. Mr.. Bennett says:
The Herald today is at the height of its pros
perity, and any syndicate having for its sole
object making money could easily earn per
cent on S2000D,00 by taking off extra expenses
for special cabling, reducing the extraordinary
salaries of $1,000, which some members of The
Herald staff receive, cutting down also some
of the $1,000 and $1,000 salaries and curtail-
ing many of the $500 salaries, besides numer-
Gus other economies that would at once be eff
fected, supposing The Herald to be simply
tory
The present proprietor, it is true. has in view
the formation OF cooperative society," but
one for the sole benefit of the members of The
Herald staff, including the general manager,
city editor, news editor, night editor, all edi-
tors, correspondents, reporters artists, cashier,
clerks foremen press and composing rooms
proofrcaders, compostors, printers, exchange
readers, shipping clerks, telegraph clerks, ad-
vertising clerks, messengers. porters, firemen,
machinists-for they are all members of The
Herald staff are they not?-and not for any
stock jobbing or speculative purposes, as has
boen done often in England and America
This cooperative society may be formed at
any moment by the proprietor whenever he
thinks proper.
As to the withdrawal of Mr. Benefits
name from the title page, it is intimated
that the name of the paper and its own
er are synonymous. AS to the names of
Messrs. Rowland, Reick and Henderson,
the general manager, city editor and
night editor respectively, Mr.. Bennett
says they We're placed there by the pro-
prietor because he reserves the privilege
of selecting his own executives and de-
sires credit to be given where credit is
due"
All of which does credit to Mr. Ben
nett. Time was when he did not feel
that way-when he would allow no
ones name but that of his own on the
title page. The man who does not change
his mind never corrects his mistakes.

The Republican party has es.
tablished a policy which has Sc
cured America for Americans
1t has protected all industries
impartially. 1t has secured tc
labor its highest rewards not only
in wages, butin opportunities and
advancement impossible in other
countries. 1t has secured us a
sound currency, the highest fl
nancial credit, general prospect,
ty and an unexampled growth in
wealth, intelligence, invention
and development. 1t has cared
for the patriotic soldiers of the
war, their widows and orphans,
not only by honors and sympa-
thy, but by liberal pensions.
Compared with the empty and
fruitless promices of its adver-
saries, the Republican party has
engrafted its policy in the acts
and executed them, and now
points to the history of its deeds
as the best evidence of what
it will do in the future,
while a Democratic party with a
Democratic President can not
agree upon or formulate single
affirmative measure of public
policy.-JOhn Sherman.

An Income Tar.

II is reported that the next congress
will pass an income tax bill This idea
Is opposed by the influential press of the
east and favored by many of the news
papers and statesmen of the west. The
idea of graduated income tax is also
popular in the south.
Those who oppose this idea claim that
It would impose burden only upon the
comparatively few who have themselves,
by their greater ability, energy and en-
terprise, gained wealth. while at the
same time contributing to the riches,
power and dignity of the nation. They
claim that it is an unfair tax and can
not be successfully defended on any
ground Further objections urged are
that it would be q most fruitful source
Of lying, as the untruthful would avoid
payment by making false statements Of
their income.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. An income tax can be defended
on the ground that it will secure a wider
diffusion Of moderate welfare, and it
will act as a leveler. smoothing off tho
extremes of poverty and wealth. In all
questions Of this kind the feelings and
the rights of individuals must be sub
servient to the general welfare. We
make laws forbidding the shooting Of
game and catching Of fish at certain sea.
sons; they may be unjust to the individ-
ual. but they are benefit to the mass.
80 likewise we grant franchises and
often benefit individuals, although it is
not done for this purpose, but to sub
serve the welfare of the many
The question of an income tax must
BE- considered from the sauna standpoint
not as to Its effect upon the individual,
but its effect upon the people at large
An income tax has been levied by the
United States but once in its history,
and then it was established because Of
the necessity for revenue caused by the
civil war. An act passed in 1851 created
Q 8 per cent tax ON incomes of $500 per
annum and over. The rates of taxetian,
the amounts Of the INCOMES taxed, and
the proportion of the income exempt
from taxation, were averaged by various
acts, till In 1872 1t was abolished.
During the 10 years the law was in
operation nearly $3.50, 900 900 were col
lected. There Is no particular need Of
suoh law at the present time to raise a
revenue, but it is the right and the duty
of the government to do everything that
lies in its power for the general well
being even to the extent OF sacrificing
the individual.

There is sometimes room for honest
differences Of opinion concerning the
making of improvements that must
needs destroy historic spots, but there
seems to be little chance for two views
regarding the project Of those who would
deface the field of Gettysburg by the con-
struction of trolley railroad through
the grounds. The preservation of Get
tysburg in the same condition az it was
when the awful struggle took place is Is

torious, and it is an encouraging sign Of
the times that the proposed improvement
is generally regarded with indignation.

" A mother and her babe were
seated in a car on one of the rail-
roads going out from Philadel-
phia. The woman sat near an
open window. holding a babe IN
her arms. 1t was leaping and
laughing and clapping its hands
as the train dashed on at a rapid
rate of speed. Suddenly a sharp
curve was rounded-the coach
gave a lurch, and-out the win
dow went the baby-out, out into
the arms of death :, but that was
only as they thought. The dis
tracted mother ran to the door,
and would have sprang from the
platform, but the passengers re-
strained her the bell rang, the
engineer pulled up, and a hun
dred men went in search of the
baby, expecting to find only its
mangled remains on the road.
But there, on a soft cushion of
grass, it lay unhurt, and laugh
ing and clapping its hands! 1t
was nothing short of a miracle.
Perhaps, when from that flying
train the baby fell to what seem
ed certain death, it was caught
in the arms of an unseen angel
and clasped to a breast as tender
as it's mothers. Who knows %

Idyl in Edinburg's Flower Mart

| saw two children, the boy, | sup
pose, about u, fine, golden-haired
Scotch laddie, with bare feet, carefully
mended clothes, a worn bonnet, and
bright, open. ruddy face, aglow with
health. Clinging to him was the most
fragile fairy, with long brown ringlets
of fashion of forty years ago, great
blue eyes, and. alas!-for her exquisite
face seemed destined to blossom into
superior Deauty--a bent and twisted
limb and crutch held her up with
one arm, while the strong boy steered
her with the other.
They had not yet gained the object
which they sought, and | wandered
after them. not from mere curiosity,
but drawn by the magnetic attach
ment that seemed to radiate from one
to che other. Now, JESSIE" said the
boy, "it will be all right; you just hold
on" But Jock, the pennies will nae
buy it, doubt" 90, never you mind,
we'll see.' Then they came full in
view of the object of their search. 1t
was a dwarf rose, full of bloom, and
the boy, with all the certainty of
youth, stepped forward to the old wo-
man.
"Please, mem, dye ken what may be
the price of yon?" Then his face fell,
for the price was evidently far beyond
the coppers which he held SO tightly
in his little hand. He just whispered
to the girl, a great tear gathered in
her eye and rolled slowly down the
beautiful face. Istepped forward, but
some one was before NE, and the boy
and girl passed out of that crowded
show, the boy holding the plant with
his protecting arm SO proudly, and the
girl, her face shining with a JOY that
words fail to tell.-Lomdon Figaro.

In the Temple OF Baal.

There rises huge wall seventy
feet high, inclosing square court, of
which the side is TAO feet long. Part
of the wall, having fallen into ruins,
has been rebuilt from the ancient ma
terials; but the whole of the north
side, with it's beautiful pilasters, re-
mains perfect. AS the visitors enter
the court they stand still in astonish-
ment at the extraordinary sight which
meets their eye; for here, crowded
within those four high walls, is the
native village of Tadmor. 1t was
natural enough for the Arabs to build
their mud huts within these ready
made Notifications, but the impression
produced by such village in such
place is indescribably strange.
The temple, so to speak, is eaten
out at the core and little but the shell
remains. But here and there fluted
Corinthian column, or group of col
umns. with entablature still perfect,
rises in stately grace far over the
wretched huts the rich, creamy color
Of the limestone and the beautiful
holdings of the capitals contrasting
with the clear blue of the cloudless
sky.
The best view of the whole is to be
obtained from the roof of the noas
which, once beautiful and adorned
with sculpture, is now all battered and
defaced and has been metamorphosed
into squalid little mosque. TO de-
scribe the view from that roof were
indeed hopeless task. High into the
clear blue air and the golden sunshine
rise the stately columns, crowded and
jumbled and heaped together below,
untouched by the gladdening sun
beams, unfreshened by the pure, freaf
air, lies all the squalor and wretchedF
ness of an Arab mud-hut village. N

MARK OF PROGRESS.
Marriages Made After Long Waiting Arc
Often Happiest.

Accepted authority states that as
nations advance the approved age for
a woman to marry becomes proper
tionately older, and cites instances of
barbarous nations where the girls are
married when they are mere children.
In these halcyon days of the nine
teenth century another mark of prog
ress is the fact that the age when
woman becomes an old maid is no
longer 25. but decade later, 35. 1t
may he said that the maidens them
selves have removed that significant
milestone; but, at any rate, some one
in popular publication is responsible
for the notice that such removal has
been made, says the Washington Post.
But suppose, after thirty years of a
life filled with good and happy times,a
woman finally finds the one man, the
like of whom she has never met be-
fore. He is mature, like herself; his
character is formed, and she knows to
a reasonable extent the man she de-
cides to marry. She gives up maiden
hood with struggle, but she under
stands and realizes what she is doing.
She believes in her tiance and respects
him profoundly; she has had evidence
that their tastes are harmonious, and
that neither one is mental beggar."
When such state of things exists
woman runs less risk in what is, after
all's said and done, but one grand ex-
pertinent. Suppose the experiment
proves happy and withal successful,
then it is as it was originally designed.
Suppose, on the other hand, it is dis
astrous, there are fewer years left in
woman's life to live out her mistake
She has lost nothing by waiting. There
is goodly amount of sound sense in
the oft-repeated saying of the old Irish
housekeeper: Better be shure than
sorry"
There is a good deal of silly talk
about woman's being phlegmatic,
incapable of loving'at 25 or 80, as she
was at 16 and 20. That's all nonsense.
AS woman natures in grace of mind
and body. just so much more deeply
will she love. Her love at 80 is worth
a hundredfold more to the one who
wins it than when she is at the uncer-
tain, impressionable age of twenty.
Many urge early marriages on the
ground that the husband and wife
grow into each others ways more cas-
ilv, adapt themselves to each other
more readily, and thus live more har-
moniously.
There are many natures which could
not adapt themselves to each other, no
matter when they were brought to-
gether, and those two people who
marry make mistake fatal to their
happiness if they are not sensible
enough and reasonable enough, and
can SO supplement each other that
they can marry at 40 as well as at 20.
