Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs.


The announcement that Governor
Waite of Colorado and Governor Level
ling of Kansas would speak drew a
crowd of 5000 people at the Populist
ratification meeting in the City park
yesterday, says recent Topeka dis
patch to the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Ev-
erything moved smoothly until Mrs.
Anna l.. Diggs was closing her speech.
Mrs. Lease was on the platform and
Mrs. Diggs, turning toward her, said {:
But for the infamous traitors who are
trying to stab the party to death in our
ranks we would win this battle easily"
The hot blood mounted Mrs. Leases
cheeks, and when Mrs. Diggs had fin
ished she stepped forward, and direct
ing a fierce glance at the diminutive
Mrs. Diggs, exclaimed: But for the
infamous business OF writing villainOus
letters and kilograms about Governor
Lewelling year ago by pretended lead
ers, our reform movement would be in
better condition to-day"
Mrs. Diggs could not stand the impu-
tatin, and, jumping to her feet and
clinchipg her tiny fist, rushed toward
her assuser crying: You are liar !!
You are liar"
"Sit down " shouted Mrs. Lease.
Then continuing, "Mr. Chairman,
have the platform and must not be mo-
lested." Then she proceeded to score
Mrs. Diggs numerically. AT the con-
clusion of the meeting she turned to
Governors Waite and Lewelling, and,
in tone loud enough for her rival to
hear, invited them to dine with her.
Almost before they could reply car
riage had driven to the stand and she
.triumphantly pushed the two men in
side and rode away with them, leaving
Mrs. Diggs to receive the sympathy of
the crowd.

THE proposition mooted in several
quarters to exempt property below $1,000
valuation from taxation, would be the
hight of unwisdom in practice. Instead
of relieving any one from burden, it
would add to the burdens of all. Instead
of equalizing, it would unsettle and
make inequitable the whole scheme of
supporting government. Personal prop
erty most easily escapes taxation. 1t is
removable, easily concealed, and its value
is difficult of ascertainment. Real prop
erty cannot escape. To exempt values
below $1,000 would be to drive personal
property still more into hiding. It
would put the cost of government main
tenance directly upon class having
property in excess of that sum. Glass
distinction would thus at once be set up
by the law, and what that means it needs
no acumen to understand. Besides, the
key note of free government is equality
of burden, obligation and benefit Just
so far as there is failure in that direction,
there is injustice and dangerous friction.
The exemption idea would result in one
body of citizens declaring that another
body of citizens should bear all the bur-
dens of cost of government, and the re-
suit would be conflict that would end
in confusion. Besides, it is impracti-
cable for an economic reason, namely
that if all taxation were put upon one
body of citizens, they would, out of the
very nature of things recoup, and the ex-
empted would find that after all. they
were not exempt, but by indirection paid
more than if they stood upon tax level
with their wealthier neighbors.

CONVICTION By NEWSPAPER.


The Los Angeles Herald laments the
growing disposition of newspapers to
usurp the functions of the courts in the
matter of trying and convicting or clear
ing those accused of crime. 1t declares
the practice "bad for the community"
That is putting it mildly. But it would
not be so bad if these same papers after
their own trial of the cases would pub
lish the facts as educed at the judicial
trials. In seven cases out of ten, how
ever, they do not do so, because of the false
and ridiculous idea they entertain that
having pronounced judgment themselves
they must not permit anything to appear
that would tend to show that Judgment to
have been erroneous.
For example, fthe San Francisco morn
ing press, all but one hastened to print all
that could be raked up tending to show
the killing of Paisley TO be murder; but
when the examination begins before a
magistrate, these papers shut up like
traps and print no line of the facts as
sworn to before the court. Only one of
the morning press of the metropolis gives
line to the examination.
One would suppose that the really "en-
terprising" newspaper. the newspaper
sollcitous to give the people the truth and
opportunity to form correct judgments,
would take especial pains to lay before its
readers the facts as proved in court. Not
so, however; having permitted the alien
Smith, commanding the Industrials, to
stuff their columns with condemnation
of the officers of the law, the idea of these
prejudging journals giving the other side
8 hearing, is, according to their ethics, abb
surd. The Herald says on this topic:
This is all bad business, and the worse be-
cause it is foreign to the mission of the press.
The press is supposed TO be run as the expo
nent of truth The newspapers are quite as
necessary to the best interests of the people as
are the courts or the lawyers but IN q wholly
different way. Each has its own proper
sphere and the bench cannot usurp the func-
tions Of the press or vice versa without injury
TO the cause of justice.
