MONROE DOCTRINE IN ASIA
Japan Believes In the Policy of "Asis For
the Asiatics."

Japan Believes In the Policy of "Asia For
the Asiatics."
No observer of the progress of the
war in the far east doubts that the jap
anese forces might, if they chose, occu-
py Peking or that the mass of the jap
anese people desire such a eliminating
proof Of their right to rank among the
great military powers
Why, then, on the eve of final triumph,
does the mikado hold his hand? The
most reasonable answer 10 this question
that has yet been offered is given by
Mr.. Henry Norman in his Peoples and
Politics of the Far East"
Mr.. Norman says that he is able to
aver from positive knowledge that the
japanese government has conceived for
the far east a parallel to the Monroe
doctrine, which, if she chose to announce
it, would be embodied in the declara-
ton, Asia for the Asiatics."
To carry out that policy it is I'M
doubtedly essential that China should
undergo regeneration, but tho regener-
alive process must be started from with
in under the influence of japanese pre-
cept and example, or it must be forcibly
applied by Japan at a time when the
European powers would not or could
not take advantage of a transitional
state of anarchy to dismember the Ce-
lestial empire and distribute the frag-
ments among themselves.
The present j%uncture is not favorable
to the forcible introduction of reforms,
because the European powers would not
leave to Japan An altogether free hand
in China. 1t is accordingly the mika-
dos interest temporarily to refrain from
upsetting the Mantchoo dynasty and to
await a more propitious occasion for de-
posing it should the hope of ~persuading
it to adopt voluntarily western ideas
and methods prove entirely delusive.
Hence the reluctance of Japan to strike
a blow at Picking; hence her omission to
foment instruction in disaffected parts
Of China; hence her willingness at this
stage of the contest to accept terms of
peace, which will leave to the MaptGhoo
dynasty some remnant Of prestige and
some chance of stability. York

Senator Hills Opinion.

Upon this subject The Post received
the following telegram from Senator
Hill of New York:
ALBANY, April 4.
To the Editor Of The Post:
i have perused with much interest your ar
ticle entitled "a Southern Democrat For 1895. 4"
Il is able, creditable and timely. Any policy
which seeks to debase an otherwise acceptable
candidate simply by reason Of the section of
country wherein he resides Is unpatriotic, un.
wise and un-American, and am opposed TO ii.
This is no time for the liberation OF sectional
prejudices, iealousies and animosities. The
existing political conditions demand that the
party should have the whole country to choose
from. Let there be a free field, a fair contest,
and may the best man win. This is my BE
mocracy, and these are my sentiments, briefly
and hastily expressed. DAvID B. HILL.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, refer
ring to The Posts editorial, declared
that the case could not have been pre-
sented more accurately or impartially.

Prospects for stock-raisers are
first class, as, owing to the scarcity
of feed last fall, nearly all surplusage
was disposed Of and the market has
taken a bullish turn. About the
only product of the Northwest that
fails to go up in price is wheat, but
great quantities has been fed to hogs

The Income Tax Middle.

30 Tar as can be luugedby b press
there is only n sentiment about
the income tax, as it now is, and that
is disgust. Those who were its warm
est champions before are bitterest in
it's denunciation in its present mutt
lated condition. As a tax it is a clear
case of Hamlet with Hamlet left
out Landlords and bondholders ex-
empt. 1t is as if the South Town
assessor should exempt from taxation
downtown buildings and banks, Ieay
ing the burden on residence proper
ty, merchandise and household effects
of the people.
The court assumed that this decis-
ion would be accepted by all parties
in interest as final, but it is more
likely that none of the litigants will
do so, except the clients for whom
Mr.. Choate spoke. He argued for
the exemption of real estate, and his
contention was allowed. But the
idea that a tax on rentals is more di-
rect than a tax on salaries or the
profits of business is abhorent to
reason. The landlord often provides
in the lease that the tenant shall pay
all taxes, and it would be perfectly
practicable to extend that provision
TO the income tax, which would thus
become indirect, brit there is no
chance for shifting an ordinary in
come tax in any such way. 1t is i'm
probable that there will be a general
refusal to pay the tax, except at the
end of litigation. II one person can
resist it ali can, and the tax as a
whole be held in allegiance until the
full bench has passed upon it. Then
too, If Congress were in session to-
day it is probable that a repeal bill
would be introduced at once and
probably introduced at an early day
1t is estimated that the loss to the
treasury from the court exemptions
of state bonds, municipal bonds and
rentals will amount to about one half
the tax, somewhere between fifteen
and twenty millions of dollars. 1t is
not expected that'any immediate call
of Congress in extra session will fol-
low. The administration will prob
ably continue the policy of drawing
on the gold reserves to meet current
expenses,and then charge it up to the
"endless chain" the United States
legal tender notes.
One of the %pecularities of the situ-
alton is the power virtually vested
in the lower United States courts.
The statute, with the three exceptions
noted, stands because the lower court
held the statute valid. That has been
stated frequently. 1t does not stand
on the ground that the Supreme
Court only can set it aside. There
are sixteen circuit judges and sixty
four district judges, the latter sitting
largely as circuit judges. 1t is quite
conceivable that suit should be start
ed all along the line, and that some
judges should hold the law constitu-
tional and others unconstitutional.
Clearly a ~rehearing before the full
bench in the court of last resort must
come as early as possible, or "confus-
ion worse confounded" can only be
avoided by unconditional repeal

Kun a-G,rOuBd.

The publication by the INDEPENDENT
last Saturday of the fact that there was
a floating rumor current to the effect
that one of the saloons had been open
in violation of law the Sunday before
started Marshal Myers on a merry
chase in search of its cause. Mr.. Meyer
has, in consequence, been engaged this
week in special self appointed detective
work and yesterday had the satisfaction
to report that the rumor was groundless
and without foundation.
The result of this investigation was
just as Mr.. Myers thought it would be
for he did not believe there could have
been crowd of cigarette smokers,
billiard players and card players in any
saloon where all curtains and screens
have been removed from the windows
as directed by the Nicholson law with
out being seen and he was certain that
all screens in all the saloons in this city
had been lawfully disposed of on that
particular Sunday Furthermore this
was matter in which Mr.. Myers was
particularly interested for the odium of
negligence ould have fallen upon him
had the rumor been well founded.
On Sundays one of Mr. Myers special
duties is to guard the people of this
municipality against infractions of the
Nicholson law and see that the dignity
of the state as involved in that law
shall be preserved inyiOlate. With that
special duty and the unpleasant infer
ences to be drawn from a rumor imply
ing that that duty had been neglected
weighing heavily upon him We are glad
that Mr.. Myers has run the canard to
the ground with SO much satisfaction
to all concerned. 1t is gratifying also
to know that wnere lawlessness was
implied there were only the conditions
of peace and good order.
