THE BATTLE-SHIPS.

Mr.. Cramp of the ship-building firm of
Cramp s. Sons has replied to the WorLds
charges that defective armor has been
used on our warships. While the reply
of Mr.. Crsmp shows the improbabi lity of
the truth of the charges 1t does not show
that conspiracy including all parties en-
gagged in the construction of such vessels
may not have palmed off some poor work

A SOCIAL LION.

A London dispatch says that Champion
Corbett is being made a social lion of In
London. He is not circulating much In
prize-ring circles but in the drawing-rooms
of men of wealth and social position. 1t
is not improbable. The London drawing
rooms are not hard to get into. This is
not the first time that London has taken
up with people that San Francisco had no
use for. 1t Is a little odd, too. that the
four or five residents of San Francisco
who have got on in London were people
whom society in San Francisco had re-
jected for cause. Corbett is perhaps the
cleyerest of the lot. Apart from his pro-
fession, which does not carry with 1t high
social position in this city. Mr.. Corbett is
a very decent sort OF man.

on the same terms as he enjoys air or
water. This loss of revenue is made up in
part or entirely by graduated tax on large
holdings of land which is not imposed on
holdings of less value, without improve
ments, than $500. Then there is an alb
sentee tax of 20 per cent on land owned by
persons who have been absent from the
colony three years or more. The justifica-
ton for the absentee tax is found in the
condition of things. There are there as
here men who have acquired legal title to
large areas of land from which large in
comes are derived in the form OF rent.
which contribute nothing to the general
welfare of the colony. There are large areas
also held for speculative purposes. The
total value of unimproved land in holdings
of 5000 acres and upward is estimated at
S272, 360,S75. Fourteen owners hold i'm
proved land valued at $4,000. 245, and
there are six others whose holdings
are valued at $12.S13, 900. So far as Con-
sui Connolly could see this new departure
was working well. Small taxpayers to
The number of 902S have dropped from the
list, and yet the revenue has increased by
about 100000. 1t does not appear that
existing interests had suffered to any ap-
preciable extent. The moneyed institu-
ti0ns, and also the owners Of large landed
estates, had predicted general smash,
but the prediction was not fulfilled The
credit Of the colony improved in London
at time when the credit of other colo
miss was low. The Consul points out the
difference between this system and what
is known az the single tax. The single tax
is levied at uniform rate on small proper
ties as well as large. There would be no
graduated tax, income tax, no absentee
tax. The 902S small taxpayers who have
been relieved from all taxes under the
present system would be taxed under the
single-tax system, and this class would OPP
pose the substitution of the single tax. A
successful departure iIom old rules and
methods in any country is worthy Of care
full consideration. The world is not so
we'll govern ed that there can be no i'm
provement. In our country small nrop-
erty-holders pay more taxes in proportion
to their possessions than the large. This
is especially true of the tax on personal
property. Franchises which confer exclu-
sive rights are often assessed at a nominal
value. The assessor can find sewing
machine that helps poor family to earn
a living, while a richly furnished house
will be assessed at lump sum, possibly
suggested by the owner. Perhaps the
purpose of the New Zealand reformers to
place the burden Of taxation upon the
shoulders of those best able to bear 1t may
be studied to advantage in this country

SORRY THEY WON.

Mr.. Clark Howell of the New South
writes to the New York Herald:
The re-eDactment OF the Mckinley law year
ago would not have created the havoc which
has been caused by the inane policy that has
characterized every movement in the considera-
tion OF the tariff bill from the day ii was intro
duced until now, when we find il In the throes
OF strangulation in the Senate.
Ii Mr.. Clark Howell could have looked
ahead as accurately in 1892 as he can look
back in 1894 there would have been no oc-
easion for the re-enactment of the Me-
Kinley bill. 1t would have continued the
law with such notifications as It's friends
might make until the people should have
indicated desire for change. The ''irane
policy" which Mr.. Howell now deplores is
an admission on the part of certain Dem
pcratic leaders that they have doubts of
the wisdom Of substituting the Wilson

bill for the Mckinley tariff. 1t is not sup
posed that the twelve Senators who have
been named as traitors by the Democratic
party are really actuated by desire to
injure that party. They are more likely
trying to save it from itself Fearful Of
the effects of change in the tariff policy
of the country on the Congressional cleo
ton of 1894 and on the Presidential election
Of 1896, they want to make the Wilson bill
as nearly as possible a simple modification
OF the Mckinley tariff. The charge which
can be urged against them is that In 1892
they had not the courage of their convic-
lions. They did not want tariff for
revenue then more than now, but they
wanted the Democratic party to win. And
now they are sorry that il won.
