TO TAX CORPORATIONS.

Corporations owe Communities More

Dir. EDITOR:-Apropos the matter
of taxation now being more or less agi-

by the very able and scholarly article
of the Rev C. NJ Hyde in the Adver-
tiser. / wish to add something to his
remarks on the taxing, of corporations
In order to make what l have to say
perfectly clear, it may perhaps be we'll
to explain, for the benefit of the non
professional, that a corporation is an
unnatural being, or person, created and
existing only by law. and deriving all
its rights-that of suing and being sued
owning property and conducting its
business, from the community where it
exists. 1t is being created and en-
lowed with certain rights by it's suf-
ferance of the whole people. and it en-
joys those rights only by reason of
that suffrance. In other words, it is an
artificial person without any innate OF
inalienable rights, deriving those it has
from the State, and indebted to the
the great difference in the principles
underlying the taxation of the individ-
nal and the corporation. The indiviG-

FILTERS.

The report of the execu-

Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of

that will effectuaIly separate
the water from mud and filth.

toward providing the people
with neceSSarieS; it has aiSs
done a little toward securing

some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm

Bonnets Coming Back.

Bonnets, am led to believe, after quitting the field of fashion for some time past, are likely to enjoy a renewal of favor, but they will be somewhat larger than heretofore-of the Salva- tion Army pattern. Hardly becoming, I fancy, yet am told that in hairy or smooth felt, with trimmings of velvet or ribbon loops or tufts of plumes, and, moreover, nicely tied under the chin with bows of old fashioned sarcenet ribbon about to inches broad, they are ever so quaint, and with the hair oyer the ears style of coiffure most ad yantageous to young and pretty faces. We can but hope that none other than ladies possessing the above mentioned gifts of Dame Nature will live up tc this style of coitfure. Paris Cor Lon. don Telegraph.

The Rhone a Light Hearted River.

Of all the rivers which, being navi- gable, do serious work in the world, the Rhone is the most devil may care and light hearted In its 300 mile dash down hill from the lake of Geneva to the Mediterranean it's only purpose other than that of doing all the mischief possible-seems to be frolic fun And yet for more than 2,000 years this ap- parently frivolous, and frequently ma leyolent, river has been usefully em- ployed i'll the service of mankind.
 It has served under many masters. In the Rhone valley of the present day Gel tic fiints and pottery underlie Roman ruins; here and there bit of Roman magniticence remains almost intact On the hilltops still stand the broken strong holds of the robber nobles who main tained their nobility upon what they were able to steal Naturally, these ruined castles, and the still existent towns of the same period, being so con- spicuously ill evidence, the flavor of the river is most distinctly medieval, but everywhere, to the discerning eye, are traces of tho barbarism, of the civiliza- tion and of the hesemibarbarism which suc- cessively were plowed under before what we have the temerity to call our own civilization began.

ARKANS4S Ex- GOVERNORS.

We venture the assertion that Arkansas has a greater number of living ex-governors than any State in the union. Here is the list: Rector, Clayton, Hadley, Baxter, Garland, Hughes, Churchill, Berry, Eagle and Fishback-ten in all, and all, so far as we are advised, are in the enjoyment of a reasonable degree of health. Ex-Governor Henry NJ. Rector, although nearly four score years of age, takes a keen interest in public affairs, and deyotes his time to the manage ment of his property here and in Hot Springs. Ex-Governor Powell Clayton, although about 60, ap- pears in the prime of life and is actively engaged in railroad man. agement and is pushing the inter ests of Eureka Springs. Ex-Governor o. A. Hadley is the only Ex-Goyer- nor who is a nonresident, and he is actively engaged as rancher in New Me xico. Ex-Governor Elisha Baxter is at his old home in Bates vile, still engaged in the practice of law. While ex-Goy. Garland is practicing law in Washington, D. C.,
 with great success since leaving the cabinet, but is citizen of Arkansas and votes in the State at every election. Ex-Governor $. P. Hughes is serving the State very acceptably on the supreme bench, while Ex-Governor T. J. Churchill divides his time between his present home in this city and his plantation down the river. Governor James Fl. Berry Is in the faithful perfor- nance of duty for the State as our junior United States Senator. Ex- Governor J. P. Eagle is devoting his time to his church work and to his large planting interests in Lonoke County, and Ex-Governor W. NJ. Fishback is managing his property interests in Fort smith. Since 1860, when Rector was gover- nor, thirty-six years ago, but four ex-governors have died, Flanagan, Murphy, Conway and Miller-two of them-Murphy and Conway, at a very advanced age. Looking at this long list of executives yet living. nearly all of whom are over 60 years of age, we are constrained to believe that there is something in our climate and conditions that is very favorable to health and long life.-Little Rock Democrat.

 Where did this box of cigars come from?h asked the writer the other day, standing in the shop of a large London tobacconist.
 "That, said the tobacconist, "came from the United States "
 And this-where did this come from?'
 "Also from the United States. J
 Also this other?"
 'Oh, that came from the United States too. I'll tell you all about it. Suppose had 3. .424 boxes of cigars in this shop, and that they were taken pro- portionately from the imports from all countries that send us cigars, then 1, ,315 of these, or considerably more than half, would have come from the United States.
 ''Then you mean to say that 3 out of every 54 cigars smoked in London are American?" I gasped.
 That's just it., he said. You see, the Americans send to Cuba for tobacco leaves, which they use for covering the cigars they make of Virginia, Ohio and Maryland tobacco.
 "Of the remaining 1,085 boxes," he continued, the largest number come from the Philippine islands, from which we get our Manillas-that is, 244 boxes. Almost an equal number, 228, come from our near neighbor, France; I'll from Belgium, 102 from Holland and 61 from Germany. Then very large mum Der, 195, were sent from the British East Indies. Now, you see, only 92 boxes remain, and we have not come to Cuba, the country of true 'habanas, , yet. Of these 92 Hongkong has sent half, AT; II have come from the chan nel islands, 8 from the Canary islands and 12 from Spain. Four are from Aus tralia, 4 from the British Vest Indies and nearly from all other British pos sessions. Now there are only IS more boxes, and they come from all quarters of the globe, including Havana You will see that Of all foreign cigars more than half come from the United States, and of the remainder more than half come from France and other European countries. No, sir, the .habanas which come from Havana are small lot. "-. London Answers.

A New Army for the Spread of Re
llNlAn I'm the Initial Sfa foa

A New Army for the Spread of Re-
liEiOn in the United States.
New York, Oct 22.-The Herald this
morning says: The Protestant Epis-
copal church of the United States is
about to organize an army of uni
formed evangelists who will be un-
der military discipline and compete
with the Salvation Army and the
American Volunteers in the field of
Christian work among the poor. This
important project has been decided on
at Il meeting of prominent clergymen
from different parts of the country
held In the church mission house. The
matter came up for consideration some
time ago, before the parochial mission
society. A committee of this repre-
sentative body was appointed to in
vcstigate the army project. The in
vestigating committees report was
read hnG recommended the adoption
of the army scheme. A committee was
appointed and it will ut once proceed
to complete the details of the organiza-
ton. The plans will include the best
features of the Salvation Army and
of the Church Army of England, from
which the former organization sprang.
Uniformed corps Of trained evangelists
under military discipline will be sta
toned in different cities. The men
will preach in the streets, and be aid
ed by bands of music. The work ul-
timately will include the erection of
labOrers homes and lodging houses
for men and rescue houses for fallen
women.
