mrs. BOOTH HAS HOPE.
TALKS OF THE PROSPECTS OF
THE VOLU NTEERS.

Attitude Toward the Old Army-A Dis
tinctly American Movement-The Apos-
tie of the New Observation-Disclosures
Kind of ''New Woman"
Mrs Ballington Booth, who, with
her husband, is now in control of the
Volunteers, the newly formed Saliva
ton Army of America, said recently to
a reporter in reply to inquiries:
"Sueh short space of time has elaps-
ed since the movement was inaugurated
that it is impossible 30 say much in de-
tail about the new organization, except
that we have bright prospects ahead Of
us and feel confident of success. We look
for much uphill work, but there are
many friends who will help us on the
way, and we have reason, therefore, to
be full of hope. The meetings thus far
have been very successful We have the
Cooper institute on Sunday nights and
have already attained encouraging re-
suits. "
Mr.. and Mrs. Ballington Booth have
been In New York or points Immediate
~ surrounding that city since the trouble
which caused the retirement of the we'll
known leaders from the command of the
Salvation Army in this country.
MRS. Booth said in this connection:
we have not yet decided on the de-
tails of our new work and my husband
and myself will have to be at the Office
for some time formulating plans for the
organization. You wish to know the
name of our new army? 1t is called
the Volunteers. Everybody knows that
we are American and everybody knows
also that we are for God, SO there was
no need of designating these features
when we decided on our name. So we
are called simply the Volunteers.
1t is a name peculiarly suitable for
America. This is the one country in the
world that has depended on it's volun-
teers in time of need. The European ma
lions keep their standing armies, and
men are forced into service when need
ed. In the past America has always had
an Immediate response from volunteers.
men who have left the plow and the
desk to take up arms against the enemy
And SO our work is to be of the same
kind and is to be extended to all kinds
and conditions Of men. My husband and
| know the country, it's conditions and
its laws better than when we took
charge nine years ago, and are therefore
better prepared for the work.
we are not making any efforts to
secure converts from the old Army, ex-
cept those who come to us of their own
free will We have held no meetings
with our old comrades, although the
other side has gone from city to city
trying to keep the old people from join
ing us. We do not want to force our old
comrades to come to us. for we feel that
if they come freely instead of under
pressure, they will never regret their
action nor feel that they were com
PEELED to it.
1.-The movement is distinctly an
American one, and will not be gov
erned in any way from London. In this
connection" said Mrs. Booth, sit is
only right to say something about the
property of the Salvation Army and to
set us right before the public. The Sal
walton Army moneys and properties
have not yet been decided over, and the
other side has used this fact to attempt

INCOME TAX IN THE STATES.

In speaking of income tax, the state
ment is often made that there is no in
come tax in the United States. This
statement is faIlacious. Two States, viz.
i Virginia and Massachusetts,, levy gen
| eral income taxes at present. In Penn
/ syIvania an income tax is levied on
special kinds of income. According to
EIy's Taxation of American States and
Cities" We find that the income of one
per cent. in Virginia is levied on in
comes derived from interest or profits
in excess of 81 900 In Massachusetts it
is provided that income from annuities,
from certain ships and vessels, and $50
much of the income from a profession
or trade or employment as exceeds the
sum of $1,000 shall be taxed. In Mr.
Winston's law traces of the Massachu-
sets act can be seen. The exemption of
incomes of $4,000 makes a large num-
Der of people escape who should not
escape and who are quite able to pay
a moderate quota towards the general
expenses of government
In Pennsylvania an income tax of
three per cent is levied upon the in
comes of corporations, foreign insur-
ance companies-Which is levied on
premiums received for business trans
acted in the State-and private bank
ers, brokers or incorporated banking
and savings institutions and express
com panies."
Though in none of these States does |
taxation. still it shows that the germ of |
the idea is at work. What we want to |
do here is to have a true income tax |
and not a makeshift, as the Massachu-
setts or Pennsylvania laws are. An in
come tax to be effective should occupy
an essential position in the scheme of
and no incomes, save very
moderate ones, should be exempt. In
his country, upon rough estimate, we
believe an income tax would yield one
bird of the total income of the country,
f the exemption rate is made low
as we have suggested. If the
rate is too high, far too many
would escape, and the tax would not
-ield sufficient But if, as has already {
cen proposed in these columns, a pro- i
ressive rate is established, the tax
yould indeed become the backbone of
ur financial system, and yielding more
han our taxes do now, would yet re-
eve the laborer from all contributions =
wards the State; or, if it were consid- =
red desirable, tax him at the rate of
ne per cent. instead of two and half
nd three upon his pitiful income.

SOME NEW NOVELISTs.

Nothing is more surprising in liter
airy way than the rise of the Scotch
novelist at the end of the century. The
names of Barrie, Crockett and Ian Nc
Laren, both the latter mons de
plume" are now almost as we'll known
as their great prototype, Sir Walter.
Scott, however, except in the Heart of
Midlothian and the The Antiquary, was
eather the historical and romantic
chronicler of his country than the por-
trayer of the characteristics of his con-
tempOraries, though he has given us
some beautiful character sketches. as
in his Edie Ochiltree, his Mucklebackits
and his inimitable Oldbuck-but his
forte lay in the romantic and the pic
Sir Walters footsteps, and in his Men
of the Mosshags' he is every whit as
romantic and picturesque as Scott is in
his "Old Mortality" Indeed. the Men
of the Mosshags" is a better tale, be-
cause unmarried by certain manner
ism which Scott always displayed when
dealing with characters of the style of
Edith and Lord Evandale. In a new
work, THE Grey Man. Crockett fol-
lows out the same vein. But where the
new school excels is in it's short stories
describing the daily life of simple peo-
pie. The Window in Thrums," the
Bonnie Briar Bush" and For Auld
Lang Syne" contain the most beautiful
character drawing that has been done
for years. A writer who can see the
beauty of character and the true poetry
in the lives of the rough farmer folk,
who can show us the nobility of life in
the humblest walks of life is a true
artist, and it is refreshing to turn to
works of this character from the trashy
of the Duchess, or the NOR
bid moral musings of Madame Sarah
Grand.

Senator Lyman's annexation resolu-
ton is timely and TO the point. 1t will
attract comparatively little attention in
his country, as annexation is fore
gone conclusion, and the majority of
the people know that Hawaii is simply
waiting for the United States to ex-
tend welcoming hand and express its
readiness to enter into negotiations.
AT the same time, the legislative session
would have been incomplete without
this reassertion of allegiance to the
annexation principle. Such a resolu-
ton effectually takes the wind from
the sails of those hopeful enemies of the
Republic who are assiduously laboring
TO prove the disloyalty of the present
Government to the central principle
about which all others should be made
to revolve 1t reminds the people of
the United States that Hawaii is still

country is concerned, by simply lend |

FITZHUGH LEE.

The appointment of General Fitz-
hugh Lee to be Consul General at Ha-
vana, in place of Ramon o. Williams,
will probably result in the United
States Government getting accurate in
formation as to the true conditions in
Cuba. Cuban news is more inaccurate
than Chinese war dispatches. The
Spanish Government suppresses and
perverts the truth. the Cuban insur-
gent magnifies and lies, while the news
paper correspondent gets up the most
picturesque copy he can and fills up
his letters with lurid details of con
fiagrations, murders and butchery,
which highly spiced viands are evident
" to the taste of his editors and a mass
of his readers.
General Lee has been sent out more
as a military attache than as a Consul
General The Spanish Government
would not hear of military attache,
and President Cleveland needed some
military man to give him
required information. So the appoint
ment of General Lee was made. 1t will
be some time, however, before the infor-
nation forwarded by General Lee will |
reach the public eye. But the action |

airs will be a guide as to the direction

the subject of government mail sub

ing $50, 900 additional compensation to
the Oceanic Steamship Company for
carrying the mails from San Francisco
to Hawaii and other points, the text for
some interesting remarks, in which he
said that the mail subsidy system,
which he opposed while Postmaster
General, had entirely failed to give a
more expeditions or better mail ser

that it was made necessary by the COM
