THE ENGLISH ON AMERICA.

man is not capable Of comparing any
thing that is not English with that which
is English. Everything American is
criticised most severely by the arrogant
and self constituted English critic. And
strange to say we have many people call
ing themselves American who take pride
liz aping every custom or habit which is
English. Americans put themselves out
to receive noted Englishmen who visit
this country only to learn that the per-
son whom they layished the greatest at.
tention upon, ridicules and sneers at them
as soon as he touches English territory.
TIE latest instance Of this fact is Mr..
John Burns. Although Mr.. Burns is a
radical labor leader and a thorough com
moner, he showed himself the typical
Briton by showering abuse upon Ameri-
can institutions Immediately upon his
return to England. He criticised New
York because It's people built too costly
churches. While this criticism might
be expected from an American it is hard
to see just how an Englishman could
make it, considering the fact that the
English government has long contributed
to the support of fine cathedrals and al
lowed subsidized bishops voice in it's
management. Americans do sometimes
build fine churches, but they are all the
result of private enterprise. There is no
forced contribution made for their cree
ton and maintenance. Fine churches
may be damage to the interests Of the
American laborer, but if so the English
cathedrals and subsidized bishops must
be far greater injury to the English
laborer.
Mr.. Burns does not like America but
he would like very much to sac Ameri-
can institutions introduced into e ogland.
He complains of the tyranny of the rail-
road corporations, and thinks Of the
number of lives that are annually lost in
operating them. He torgets in this con
nection that the railroads of Great Brit
ain are as nothing compared with one
great American system. It is true there
are too many risks TO which the Ameri-
can railroad employee is exposed, but q
comparison OF the number OF lives lost
on American railroads with those lost on
English roads proves nothing. The
American railroad system compared with
the English is like world compared to
q township. Perhaps Mr.. Burns does
not know that there are five million peo
pie engaged in the railroad business in
the United States.
In speaking of the tyranny of railroads
he forgets the English landlord who has
driven enogh people from Great Britain
to run all the railroads in the United
States. He forgets the number of lives
and the vast amount, OF property annu
ally sacrificed to the British army and
navy IN order to maintain q landed arts
tocracy. Mr.. Burns when at home plain
" sees this British tyranny, but the mo
ment he strikes the United States that
latent jealousy which turks in every
English heart Immediately asserts itself.
The London Spectator does not miss the
opportunity to show it's Tory spirit when
referring to the speeches Of Mr.. Burns.
It says: "TheY are pleasant reading be-
cause they minister to the latest jealousy

unelected squire and 9 nominated par

yet where nobody is overworked, and la
borers on IL shillings week live to be
centenarians, and, il brakesmen dropped
of the trucks like fies,' the whole country
would ring with shrieks Of horror and
appeal to tire law and to mechanical
skill for instant and final remedies
The Tory spirit cannot understand why
g mere laborer should labor to obtain
anything moro than mere living. It
does not understand that in America the
laborer has a chance to become mill
lionaire and often strives with that
thought in view. A mere living may be
all that the English laborer cares for or
can hope to obtain but it is not sufficient
for the American laborer and that IS
why he often overworks himself.
Mr.. Burns says Chicago is full of life
and enterprise, pays to skilled workmen
enormous wages, sometimes as high as
one pound a day, elects it's own govern
ment, is entirely free from the aristoc-
racy Of birth, is choked with means of
education and yetls the nearest approach
to hell Mr.. Burns is able to conceive. It
such city as Chicago were situated in
England it would be the nearest ap-
proach to Utopia Of which Mr.. Burns
would be abe to conceive. It is incon-
sistent for Mr.. Burns to charge Ameri
can workmen with being overworked
while at the same time he says they re-
ceive enormous wages. Such assertions
clearly show that the slow-going Anglo
Saxon is not able to keep pace with the
American. The Tory organs do not ap-
peal for ''instent and final remedies
when the Irish peasants drop 'llke fies''
through starvation brought on by Tory
land laws and coercion acts, nor when
inofensive Armenian Christians are
murdered by Kurds whom Tory gov
eminent placed in command.
Then the Tory organ continues: owe
think we ought, as sensible folks, to have
succeeded better across the seas, where
after all, it is we, the English, who have
founded everything and could possess
everything, and could even now, had We
only the organization, bid all the Gro wds
of Italians and Hungarians and Irish
men give proof OF quality before we en-
trusted them with power.
Alb, there's the rub! Had we only the
organization We could Cypress the Irish
in America as we do in old England
The Tory is an entirely frank and self
satisfied Individual. Perhaps now we
can understand better how so many Eng.
lishmen have criticised Chicago and New
York. Was it because these cities are
ruled by Irishmen? IL that the trouble
with Conan Doyle, VIM. T. Stead and
Mr.. Burns? But although we English
founded everything we have not the Or

will be permitted to succeed and rule

tons falls entirely because of the insup'

deal Of money was spent in sbountles' to
stimulate tillage and the raising Of grain.
at time when, unfortunately, the Irish
farmers, outside Of Ulster, did not know
how to raise such crops without exhaust
ing the fertility Of the soil. But the two
great causes Of the increase were the re-
bellion OF 1898 and the wars with France.
About el0.O ,OO0 was generally assigned
as the cost Of the suppression Of the re-
bellion-a cost which should have been
largely shared in England. The rebel
lion was, nevertheless, suppressed entire
ly by Irish resources, at Irish cost.
Earlier in the last century, Ireland sew:
eral times sent regiments over to Eng;
land, when the Pretender's cause looked
threatening; and on one occasion, at
least, she was left to pay the cost Of
them. England was always very jealous
lot standing army-in England and,
after 1859 q much larger army in proper
ton was kept in Ireland than in Great
Britain; and, Of course, at Ireland's cost.
When trained troops were needed, the
government borrowed the irish regi-
ments. The war expenditure speaks for
itself. Ireland's share was raised on
onerous terms, BY loans, and the interest
was added 20 the principal till, the one
hundred millions interest added to the
principal the total exceeded one hundred
millions by 1917. The ultimate and
enormous gamers were the English
soldier.

Justice Fields Opinion.
Justice Fields opinion was largely
devoted to review of the provisions
regarding rents and was a vigorous de-
nunciation of the principle sought to be
established by the income tax law, his
conclusions being in conformity with
chose announced by the chief justice.
He also attacked the law on account Of
the lack Of uniformity and dwelt upon
it's exemptions and discrimination,
which was, he said, class legislation.
He devoted especial attention to the ex-
emptions of savings banks, mutual
insurance companies and building and
loan associations. He quoted census
figures to show the extent of the opera
lions Of these companies, and said 1t
these facts were not convincing, con-
gress could not be convinced ''though
one rise from the dead" He took issue
with those contended that there could
be no legitimate limitation upon the
power of congress to impose taxes.
Justice White followed Justice Field
in another dissenting opinion.
Justice Harlan followed Justice
White in a dissenting opinion, and the
case was closed. Nothing was said to
show how any Of the justices stood,
save those who read dissents.

No Report Received in the Case of Ex-Con-
sui Waller at Madagascar.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The state de-
partment officials are puzzled at the de-
lay in receiving an official report upon
the case of ex-United States Consul
Waller, reported to be languishing in a
French military jail in Madagascar.
It is now nine days since the depart
ment cabled to United States Consul
Campbell at Port Louis, Mauritius, the
nearest cable point for report. 1t is
surmised that the delay in the case may
be caused by the difficulty Consul
Waller is experiencing in getting in
formation from the French officials,
who are not we'll disposed towards him
on account of some trouble that arose
over the granting of his exequateur.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The COM
pilation of farms, homes and mortgage
statistics made by the last census is in
teresting in view Of the decision Of the

however, give details concerning rents
paid. A summary of the statistics
shows:

United States, and Of these families So
per cent hire their farms or homes and
48 per cent own them, while % per cent
of the owning families own subject to

On the owned farms and homes there
are liens amounting to So, 1872, 949, 563,

HEAVY SNOW STORM.

Big Billiards. Block Business In Kansas,
Colorado and Wyoming.
DENVER, April 9.-Belated travellers
from the east report that the storm
through Kansas was the worst ever
known in that section. Many Of the
passenger trains now more than 4S
hours late are battling with snow and
sand upon the prairie.
Superintendent Bogard of the Union
Pacific, with headquarters at Cheyenne
Wells has large force of men clearing
the tracks. In places within 80 or rs
miles of Denver, the snow is found in
cuts from 80 to 40 feet deep, being over
the tops of the telegraph poles in some
instances.
The Rock Island experienced more
trouble, perhaps, than any other line.
The first train from the east over this
road arrived 90 hours late. The Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Kansas Pacific division
of the Union Pacific, and the Sante Fe
were also much hampered.
Fierce Sand Storms.
The reports from Northern Colorado
and Wyoming are to the effect that
the wind and sand storm was so fierce
that men at work clearing the way were
obliged to wear covering for their
faces, the sand cutting even through
the cloth like knife and decorating the
shovelers in a horrible fashion. The loss
of range stock in some portions Of East
ern Colorado, it is said, will amount to
20 per cent Of the total. Many cattle
drifted into Hugo, Colo, and persisted,
which had been driven before the wind
from the north over 200 miles.
