In Macaulay's third volume of his His
tory Of England" We find wisdom of strik-
ingly accurate application to the great
point now at issue here. In the reign of
William and Mary it was proposed 10
raise money for war purposes against
James and against the French by singing
out the Jews for q special tax, because they
were rich. After deciding to raise money
in other natural ways. it was proposed in
the house of commons to exact a particu-
lar 100000 from the Jews. They were
rich. they were few in number. and conse-
quently helpless. Macaulay's comments
are only a re-echo of the arguments reused
by the outrage threatened in the seven
tenth century:
Especial taxation, laid on a small class
which happens to be rich, unpopular and
defenseiess, is really sonfiscation, and
must ultimately impoverish rather than
enrich the state"
The Jew tax was finally abandoned.

THE CONDITION or THE AMERI-
CAN FARMER

J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, the
Democratic secretary of agriculture in
CIeveiand's cabinet, In an article in the
current number Of the Forum denies point
blank the Populist picture Of the Western
farmers condition ''as the victim Of land
holders" as class who are staggering
along under heavy load OF debt. whose
condition is that OF Russian serfs and
whom the protective tariff has robbed out
of any little surplus he can make for the
benefit OF the manufacturer and the wage
worker OF the East.
Mr.. Morton shows that 20 per cent. OF
the farms in the United States are unin-
numbered by any indebtedness; that the
farmer Is the most independents and pros
porous Of all the large classes Of our
people. He explains the growth OF the
story OF their distress by showing that
few farmers have left their burrows to fol-
low The false prophets Of politics. Ii Is
the political farmer who Is really poll
,ician aud not a farmer at all, that has
done all this evil.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Admiral Ammen, a distinguished naval
commander of the civil war and an init
mate friend of Gen. Grants, points out in
the Baltimore Sun that the transconti-
mental railways ought not to oppose the
Nicaragua canal. The canal would COM
pete with them. no doubt, in some things,
yet il would largely. he thinks. be used
for bulky and heavy freight that cannot
now be carried by the railroads "at liv-
ing rate to the producer"
The government he holds, by becoming
the undisputed manager of the construc-
ton of the canal, as well as the owner of
most Of its stock, could insure the pre-
servation OF national interests in ii, in
stead Of risking the passing of its none
tary control, and therefore of its military
advantages. to some foreign power. The
grain, lumber wine and hops of our Pa
ciiic coast would come through the canal,
and, on the other hand. millions of bales
of cotton and millions OF tons of coal
would 20 from Gulf ports, the former TO
the Asiatio coast and the latter to
supply the vessels passing through
the canal. An incidental advans age,
in Admiral Ammen's opinion, would
DO that of making Hampton Roads a
great coaling station. while Norfolk, as
Cart Murdaugh. of Portsmouth, recently
pointed out might become second only To
New Orleans As distributing center for
bananas and other tropical fruits.
But If our country is TO lose the control
OF this great waterway. Admiral Ammen
would rather have IL pass into German
than into British hands. since in the latter
case Englsnd's environment of our coun-
try with her commercial and strategic
lines would be complete

The occasion was one of the associations

THE VALLEY ROAD.
The Project Soon to Be Revived.
The Pacific Mail Trouble,


There are strong indications of re-
newed vitality in the proposition TO build
the San Joaquin Valley road. The gentle
men who have the matter in hand have
been merely waiting until the business
condition Of the country assumed more
favorable aspect, and they are now quietly
perfecting their plans for an aggressive
campaign.
The report comes from New York that if
the Pacific Mail Company does not come
to an early agreement with the Panama
Railroad the new Western Association
will make a deal with the Panama Rail-
road for the operation of its line between
New York and San Francisco in harmony
with the Western Association, irrespective
of the Pacific Mail Company-and posi-
bly, leave the Southern Pacific out of con-
sideration also.
The association would guarantee the
Panama railroad and steamship lines a
certain amount of traffic at reasona BILE
rate Tor perhaps put 1t IN the shape of a
subsidy, and then. in case the Pacific Mail
Company continues running its vessels out
OF New York, authorize the Panama Com
pany TO fight the Huntington line with low
enough rates TO get the business. If the
eighteen railroads in the Western Asso-
citation share with the Panama Company
the losses Of the rate war it isn't difficult
TO guess which company will give in first
IL the Pacific Mail Company does not
come 10 terms, as looks very improbable
al present. IL may be that the Southern
Pacific will net remain in accord with the
new association. But the other railroads
are prepared for the consequences. If
necessary, 1t is believed they would ap-

RIFLED LETTERS.
The Crime of a Nevada
Postmaster.
Charged With Having Stolen Up
ward of Five Hundred Dollars
Sent From This City.

]. W. Haas, who was Postmaster at
Mineral Park, New, until that Office was
discontinued on May Is. was arrested on
Thursday at Klngman, ArIz.. by Postal
Inspector Thrali. who had secured evil
dence that he. while Postmaster, had
stolen the contents of registered letters
sent from this city to miners at FL Dorado
Canyon.
A package containing 1923 in currency
was registered at Station K in this city for
transmission to FL Dorado Canyon on
March 90. but when 1t reached it's destina
ton the money had disappeared, and In
its place the recipient found leaf of q
newspaper.
All registered letters and packages are
placed in an official envelope, and the en-
velope that had contained the package fer
Ell Dorado Canyon was sent to the Postal
Inspector In this city. He found that the
envelope In which the money had been
placed had besn opened by cutting off an
end, and that the opening thus made had
been sealed up very neatly. The official
envelope was discolored, but apparently
had not been tempered with.
A letter containing 5000 was registered

Canyon on May 1. 1t. too. was opened
and rified of its contents before reaching
the person TO whom 1t was addressed, but
In this case the official envelope bore un-
mistakable evidence Of having been tam
pered with.
The two letters had been handled by diff
ferent clerks in this city, and had been
forwarded to their destination on different
trains. The first letter left this city at
night. the second in the morning. and the
inspectors were convinced that they were
not rlfled here.
Thrall was sent to Arizona, and learned
that in both cases the packages of regis
tered letters tor FL Dorado Canyon lay for
one night at Mineral Park postoffice. He
also learned that Haas. who was then
Postmaster at Mineral Park. was known
among his associates as bad" man and
dead shot. The Inspector. who was
then posing as a miner, also learned that
the tough Postmaster was well supplied
with currency at and after the time the
money was stolen, and he took him into
