A Mugwump Opinion.

For downright chicken -heartedness
commend us to this remark by the
Springfield Republican: THE seals are
a small issue to get excited over, how
ever much Mr.. Sherman may scold
Lord Salisbury. Not one person in 1O0,-
600 is interested in sealskins, because
they are luXurics which only the rich
can afford to wear"
In other words, that which concerns
the rich should not concern our gov
ernment, nor should we resent the
wanton destruction of an American in
dustry by Great Britain provided its
output enters mainly into the homes
of the well-to-do. This is socialism
with vengeance; but it will hardly
be relished by the labor once employed
in seal fishing but now unable to find
employment because British poachers
have well nigh eXterminated the seals.
We find it difficult to believe that
the Springfield Republican in this mat
ter is truthful exponent of the ideas
and the public spirit of New Eng
land.

portation since the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the customs, Internal
revenue and total receipts under this law
have been much less than in the corre-
spending months of the history of the
Mckinley law. This Is especially inter-
esting and important because of the state
ments made from time to time by the
Democrats to the effect that the Wilson
law was more successful as a revenue
producer than TIE Mckinley law. The
absolute falsity of this statement Is
shown by the ofIicia, figures covering the
receipts Of the Wilson law from the be-
ginning of it's operations down to the
present time and comparing those with
the receipts under the Mckinley law in
the corresponding months of It's exist
cnce. The Wilson law has now been in
operation thirty-four months. In those
thirtyfour months the customs receipts
aggregated $467, PAS. while in the first
thirty-four months of the Mckinley law
the customs receipts were $5iS i52, ,il4. The
internal revenue receipts under the VII
son law in it's first thirty-four months
were S3S2, ,732, ,453, and in the first thirty
four months of the Mckinley law were
$433, ~, ,45S The total receipts, under the
Wilson law in its first thirty-four months,
ended June 30, 1897, amount TO 1901, ,200-
652 while the Mckinley law in its first
thirty-four months produced S,0i1, ,04S, ST.,
balance of more than Sl37, 100000 in fa-
vor of the Mckinley law.

The fact that DR.. Charles f. Cadwal-
ader, of Philadelphia, respected and
eminent representative of one of the
oldest and purest Quaker families in
Pennsylvania, has welded the woman
he loved, though she had been his house,
maid, would not call for public com-
ment but for the fact that comment has
been provoked. Such being the case,
we take the liberty of saying that DR..
Cadwalader has exhibited in the matter
the instincts and courage of a true
gentleman and both he and his admir-
able wife merit the congratulation of
all who are untinged with caste, snob-
berry or social affectation, A society
which presumes equality and demoe-
racy in its civic relations and then tries
to despise honest service in humble
position is intrinsically rotten and de-
serves to be torn open. That DR.. Cad
walader should have had the manliness
to estimate character regardless of sta
tion and to offer to 1t the highest COM
pliment which man can pay to woman
makes us less disposed than we had
been to regard with contempt the pride
of lineage and worship of ancestry
which in some quarters too often lead
to social tomfoolery.

An Evolution.

Discussing the change in manage
ment in the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company the Providence Journal says:
From now on, it may be assumed, there
will be no more railroad sensations in the
direction of the coal regions, no more
Mcleod schemes, and, probably, no more
serious trouble about the mining and
Transportation of hard coal. The Morgan
syndicate, in order to make these proper
ties pay. must avoid rate wars, differences
among it's roads as to the proportion of
coal to be produced, and conflicts with
the trunk line traffic. That it will be wise
enough TO do this, no one can doubt.
Thus the stability which the Morgan in
fuence will impart to the vast network
of railroad routes between the New York
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio will
communicate itself to the entire business
of transportation in the Middle states,
and in some measure to all business there.
The Mcleod scheme" was an at
tempt to do without adequate financial
backing what j. Perpont Morgan and
his business associates are enabled to
do because they have at their command
practically the entire railway capitali
Zation of the territory affected. The
new regime comes therefore in the line
of evolution and conspicuously illus
trates the modern business tendency to
conserve by cooperation the former
great wastes of competition. 1t prom
ises not only to make it possible for
capital and labor in the coal regions
to approach a fair return for their
expenditure but also to afford to small
investors in the securities of the coal
carrying railroads the return in divi-
dends which had been sacrificed in a
foolish era of railway throat-cutting.
Some may object vigorously to the
combination of interests under single
directing power, but that kind of con-
servation of commercial energy is now
very popular, and it will continue to
be so just so long as it can produce
superior results.
Students of the problem who possess
common sense need not fear that GEN.
tralization such as we are now witness
ing will work injury to business. When
it begins to do that, the intelligence of
the men concerned in the problem will
devise remedy.
If Spain and Japan want to form a
triple alliance against Uncle Sam they
might work in the Sultan or the Bey
Of Morocco. BY all means let the dis
gruntled get together.

Brave old General Gomez pauses In
his march upon the Spanish strong
hold in Cuba to remark that at the
gates of Havana he will publicly thank
the patriot army for it's valor. Re-
garding the proposed Spanish reforms
he says: Spain might better stop all
preparations she may be making to
grant reforms to Cuba. We will accept
neither reforms nor home rule. We
have had enough of Spanish promises
during four hundred years of oppres-
sion. Spain must know that this war
is only for independence, and that the
Cubans will rather die than yield to
any other solution. The day we again
lifted our flag of liberty we wrote on
it, Independence or DEATH" At up
ward of seventy, unawed by opposition
and undismayed by hardship and fa-
tigue, Maxine Gomez comes near being
the grand old man of the century.

The Tribune takes pleasure in an

dolphia, is better protected and carries
more men. 1t may reasonably be as
sumed that our officers are more skill
full in naval warfare, and that indi-
vidually as fighters our men are
stronger than the Japanese; but our
fighting machine is inferior. The
maxim that Providence favors the
heavier artillery is not confined in its
application to the land. In the close
quarters of Honolulu harbor the guns
which can throw the most metal in a
minute are apt to first strike vital
spot. The climate of Honolulu is de-
lightful, and its harbor furnishes today
a healthful and inviting station for one
of the strongest of our modern war
ships"
Action already taken by the United
States government may be sufficient to
avert a japanese coup d etat In Ha-
wai: but the safest way to insure
peace and the permanence of American
control there is at once to ratify the
treaty of annexation and thus put Ha-
wall for all time behind and under
meath the Stars and Stripes.

ATTACKING THE ALIEN TAX LAW.


The constitutional validity of the new
alien tax law has been attacked by a bill
of equity, filed in the Circuit court of the
United States for the western district of
Pennsylvania, to enjoin firm from col
lecting the cents per diem tax on the
labor of an alien cmploye. Inasmuch as
1t is proceeding to secure an injunction,
and no time will be consumed in taking
testimony, the facts having been agreed
upon, the court may be expected to hand
down a decision In few weeks. The
questions involved in the issue are of the
highest constitutional Importance, and
their final disposition will be awaited with
interest in this and other states. If the
discriminating tax upon alien labor i'm
posed by the Pennsylvania statute is held
to be valid exercise of legislative power.
other states will probably adopt similar
legislation.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-17

The police power of a state is not inn
paired by the Fourteenth amendment.
How far its taxing power may go with
out violating the amendment 1t is diff
ficult to say. a commentator upon the
amendment says that it contemplates
protection against discrimination in state
action as between persons and classes of
persons. The amendment declares that
no state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due process
of law" but this does not apply to a
tax eXaction. 1t was decided in the Ken
lucky railroad cases some years since
that when a person liable to the assess
ment of a tax under a state law for
raising revenues has had due notice of
the preliminary proceedings, as pre-
scribed in the statute, and has had an
opportunity to test the validity of the
proceedings, he cannot plead, success
fully, that he has been deprived of his
property without due process of law.
The plaintiff has raised an issue bristling
with important constitutional questions
and those involving the Interpretation of
treaty rights and privileges.

fuses to allow the armor plate bills
necessary to give such a demand re-
spectability at Madrid.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-17

1t is urged by the plaintiff that the
Fourteenth amendment provides that no
state shall deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws" The plaintiff contends that the
phrase equal protection of the laws" Is
tantamout to the "protection of equal
laws" and that the act infringes the
Fourteenth amendment in that the plain
tiff is subjected to a tax upon his labor
which is not levied upon all other persons
within the state. The plaintiff AYERS also
that the statute is in contravention Of
the Federal Civil Rights act of 1870, de-
claring that all persons within the jur-
isdction of the United States shall have
the same right in every state and ter
ritory to make and enforce contracts, to
sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the
fun and equal benefit of all laws and
proceedings for the security of persons
and property as is enjoyed by white
citizens, and shall be subject to like
punishment, pains. penalties, taxes, IL
censes anu exactions of every kind and
no other"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-17

The bill in equity presents a plausible
arraignment OF the act, but lay judgment
upon the matter must be suspended until
the law officers of the state have hlcd
their answer and the court has declared
its opinion. 1t Is the contention of the
plaintiff. as set forth by his attorneys,
that ii Is for congress, and for congress
alone, to determine the conditions upon
which aliens shall enter the country and
follow their pursuits. The alien plaintiff
is a subject of Great Britain, and one of
the apparently strong points he insists
upon Is that, by treaty between the Unit
ed States aud Great Britain, 1t is cove
nanted. among her things that the sub
jects of each country shall enjoy recpro-
cal rights of residence under the proteC-
ton of equal laws and free from all bur-
dens and conditions, except such as are
imposed upon the citizens of such country
by it's own laws" that the constitution
provides that the constitution and fed
eral laws made in pursuance of it and
all treaties made under the authority of
the United States shall be the supreme
law of the land. The reason why con-
gress and not state legislatures should
regulate the terms upon which aliens
shall come into the country and pursue
their avocations is cogently stated by the
plaintiffs attorney in an interview in tho
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette LAS the
states have no power to treat with foreign
governments upon any subject, any re-
taliatory legislation would fall upon this
country at large, and any responsibility
for breach of treaty would rest upon the
United States, and not upon the state OF
Pennsylvania"
