GRADUATED TAX.

Mr.. John NJ. Reynolds. whose pamphlet
advocating graduated land taxation was
recently commented upon in these COL
umns, writes US that the only argument
advanced by THE CALL is that because the
present law fails TO be effective it is useless
to put new ones on the statute books OF
course THE CALL never advanced such
an argument 1t did say that until the
bulk of rich mans property could be
reached by the assessor at an equal valua-
ton with other property it is OF not much
use to attempt double or treble taxes on
part of snch property. Comparatively
little real estate escapes the tax collector
But great deal of property is assessed
below the average of assessment. Until
the law can secure an equal assessment or
one approximating TO equality 1t would be
futile to double and treble valuation for no
other reason than that the owner owns
considerable more than some other per-
son owns. Mr.. Reynolds intimates that
the aim of this system of land taxation is
to correct an evil which THE CALL COM
plains of-the too great Capitalization of
wealth. The aim is a worthy one, but the
method is unwise. Equality is the prin ci-
pie upon which taxation is justified. The
State requires each man to pay the sam e
rate as every other man on what he has.
When we begin to tax property with rela-
ton to its ownership, taxing one piece
more than another because it is owned by
a richer man. there will be rebellion all
along the line.

SENTENCED.

Prendergast, the murderer of Carter
Harrison, has been sentenced TO death.
When asked if be had any reason to give
why sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced he responded with a speech, in
which the burden of complaint was that
at his trial tie plea of justification had not
been entered. 1t will be remembered that
Prendergast had an idea that Mayor Har-
rison would appoint him Corporation
Counsel, and that Prepdergast thought
the failure on the part of the Mayor to
make this appointment was justification
for the murder. 1t is not possible to be-
lieve that this opinion is sincere. Whether
Prendergast thinks that the persistent
urging of 1t will create doubts of his men,
tai responsibility. or whether be is an i'm
beetle. is not easy to determine. No right
minded man could entertain such notion
for moment There are often hundred
applicants for good place, and if the
ninety-nine who do not get it are held to
b e justified in killing the dispenser OF pa
tronage the cause Of civil service reform
would rapidly become popular. 1t is
highly probable that Prendergast, fearing
that the plea Of insanity has lost its hold
on jury. has dropped upon this device to
suggest reasonable doubt of his sanity.

STEAD IN CHICAGO.

Mr.. W. +. Stead, the London editor, has
singled out Chicago as Satsn's stronghold.
He has a book in press about Chicago peo-
pie and Chicago institutions. and it is
rumored he has given free run to his OBJ
servations. il not to his imagination. He
has allowed the title to one part of the
book TO be advertised, and it certainly i'm
plies that the writer has net subordinated
Imagination TO facts. This chapter. which
is devoted to city government, is headed.
''Satan's Invisible World Displayed.
Where Mr.. Stead acquired the knowledge

ward off the threatened blow. should CON-
mence his work with a spotless record .
Why Mr.. Stead should have left the fertile
fields offered fer tillage in his own coun-
try and have selected Chicago to hold up
as a wicked example may be surmised
rather by what does not appear In his
widely advertised book than by what il
may be found to contain. A New York
journal which has been keeping track of
the English reformer In Chicago thus re-
fers TO him:
Mr.. Stead's methods of securing Information

WHITE IS MUM.

There appear to be seven Senators who
will vote against the Wilson bill unless
material concessions are made. Sugar is
well represented in the seven, also coal and
iron ore. For some reason wool does not
seem to have much of pull. The Sen
ators from Texas have not made a stand
for its preservation, nor do we hear that
Senator Whites vote will be cast against
the bill unless wool is protected. OF
course, the Senators who demand protec-
ton for the industries of their own State
are open to charge of inconsistency IN
less they are willing to allow the interests
of other States to be protected. 1t is this
that keeps Senator White still. He might
vote to keep duties on California products,
but unless he has recently changed his
opinion he would not support tariff bill
that made protection general and uniform.
If there is ANYTHING that could convince
the free-traders of the errors of their faith
it should be the spectacle of so many pro-
fessed free-traders who want protection
for themselves. a policy that is so good

FOREIGN LABOR IN FRANCE.

The agitation against the employment
of foreign laborers in France eliminated
last August in the passage through the
Chambers of an act which provided that
all foreigners who b ad not taken the pre-
liminary steps looking TO naturalization
should be registered. For the registry a
charge of 80 cents was made, and to this
was added small municipal fee payable
to the authority of the place where the
foreign workman elected his domicile. An
employer engaging a non-registered for
eignsr is subject to a fine. SO is the for
eigner who neglects to register, or to
exhibit his certificate of registration when
required. A false statement by foreigner
may lead to his expulsion from French
territory, and to his Imprisonment for
several months if he returns.
: France, though denseIy peopled as COM
pared with the United States, is more
thinly peopled than her neighbors, Italy
and Belgium; in those count tries, as in
Germany and Spain. wages are lower than
in France, and there is thus a normal
drift Of labor from all sides into French
territory. Against this drift the French
workman protests, and the protest some
times takes shape in attempts to expel the
foreigners by violence, as recently at
Aigues Mortes. When the French labor
unions first appealed 10 the Chambers for
protection the answer was made by the
Government that the departments which
were most frequently overrun by foreign
laborers were really short of population to
harvest their crops, that the immigration
from Italy and Spain consisted mainly of
men who sought an employment in the oil
and soap factories, which are avoided By
the French workmeD. while the northern
immigration from Belgium and Germany
was composed OF men who sought work in
the building OF railroads, canals and earth
works-a kind of labor in which the
French do not excel. Whatever weight
may be attached to these arguments. thew
were not potent enough to prevent the
passage of the bill.
There can be no question but the steady
growth IF French wealth in the last half
century has rendered France more at
tractive to foreigners than il used to be.
Forty years ago the total number of
foreigners was reckoned at $50, 900, about
/ per cent of the total population. The
number grew steadily until ten years ago
the foreigners were reckoned at 1.130, 600,
or per cent of the total population. They
are still increasing, slowly but steadily,
the fact being that workman can get
better wages and more Of the comforts OF
life for them in France than in Belgium.

Germany, Italy or Spain. Relatively the
growth of the foreign population is more
rapid than that of the natives.
Over half the foreigners in France are
Belgians or Italians, the former being
twice as numerous as the latter. The
French departments which border on Bel
gium-Nord and Pas de Caias-are seats
of manufacturing industry in which a
smart workman can generally get q job.
At the south it is easy for the Italians of
Piedmont to do as their ancestors have
done throughout history. and 10 overflow
the Alpes Maritimes and the Bouches du
Rhone. Germany. Switzerland and Spain
appear each to have contributed $4,000
souls 70 the foreign population of France;
the proportion has probably not varied for
centuries. England is assigned as the
birthplace of 10000 and North America as
that of 1000. There appears to be no natu-
raj drift of labor from this country to
sunny France.
The French workmen argue that they
are contented with their own country and
they do not see why foreigners should not
be content with theirs. 1t is. indeed, a
fact that Frenchmen are disinclined to
pitch their tents in foreign climes. They
cut so small fgure in our tables of immi-
grafton as to be hardly perceptibls. Still.
according to the figures, there are more
enchmen in North America" which in-
cludes Canada and Mexico, than in any
other foreign land. The number of French
