Referring to the action of the Executive
Committee of the New Jersey Firemen's
Ast ociation in recommending that all tax
exemptions be abolished, and calling it
something unique, the Elizabeth Journal
says: SAT present each volunteer firemen
who has served five years is granted
exemption from tax on $500 of assessed
valuation. The State organization says
that the volunteer firemen do not wish to
be classed as public teneficiaries, and
are willing to surrender this privilege,
provided, however, that all similar
privileges are abolished throughout the
State. And this proviso is significant
for it includes members of the National
Guard, churches, schools and every other
kind of private property now exempted
The broad principle which the fremer
state, and upon which they stand is this:
That everything containing value, nc
matter by whom owned, should be taxed,
without discrimination of any kind.
There is a great deal more in the action
of the State Firemen's Association than
appears onl the surface. 1t isn't.often that
men petition ito have themselves taxed
for $500 more than the law requires"

The latest story of Maceo's death is
one of the BLACKLIST treachery, and almost
incredible on the part of nation calling
itself civilized, being nothing less than
deliberate violation of flag of truce and
the cold blooded murder of man who
had trusted his life to Spanish honor.
Even SPANS bitterest enemies must hope
that this report is not true, and that the
detailed account of DR.. Zertucha' g
t'eachery, and the Marquis of Ahumada's
business is, if not wholly false, at least
cruelty distorted by Cuban passion. II
it is true as related-if it was a plot
arranged by Weyler's second in command,
with the full knowledge and approval of
the Captain General himself-then the
dark lage of Spanish warfare must
receive blacker stain, and civilized
nations must regard Spain as an OUTLAW
not amenable to any laws but those of
force, and not entitled to the comfy of
nations. However, despite two or three
combinations from various sources, a
report is now current that the Insurgent
leader Is still alive, and the public will be
moresready to believe this report, since he
has so often been reported dead, only to
turn up alive to push even more vigor-
ously the cause of Cuban liberty. Such
heroic efforts as the struggling Cubans
~.v-makIng for the liberty of the Island
deserve to succeed, and their su ecess
ought not to be long deferred.

The refusal of the silver Senators to
enter the Republican caucus is pretty
good evidence that no tariff legislation
can be enacted at the present session of
Congress, if. indeed, their obstructive
policy does not defeat such plans even In
an extra session. This is greatly to be
regretted for the reason that it threatens
to postpone the remedial legislation which
is so necessary to the restoring of good
times. So long as these Silverites stand
out it will bs impossible for the Repub
licans to control the Senate or to muster
q majority for any distinctly Republican
measure-unless it should please the
sound money Democrats to act with
them. What these recalcitrant Silvetites
will decide upon when the new Congress
assemblies is mere matter of conjecture.
