SONG OF THE SEA WOLVES.

o here's to the life OF a pirate crew.
Drink deep to the life so frCG0
With a dead mans skull on our starboard
rail,
And our black flag straight in the flying
gale,
We laugh and sing as we spread our sail
And steer for the open sea.
Our blades drink deep of the flowing
blood.
(Cheer, lads, for the gold we takeD
The ocean wind sings the song of doom
TO dying ears A weird, wild tune!
And we sail away through the salt sea-
spume
With dead men in our wake.
o, we kpow our port is the port of he'll.
(Sing, Ho for the pirates deathD
But we curse ana laugh while the red
blood streams.
And "Death" is our cry while the bright
blade CLEANS
And falls. while the stricken foeman
screams
To his last faint, dying breath.
So here's to the life of the wild sea-
wolves.
(Filt up your glasses, mend
One cheer for our captain, so true and
brave;
One curse for the ghost that the dead man
save,
And Wen steer for our isle across the
wave,
Where lies our sea-eirt glen.

The Situation in South Africa.

The popular attention which was at
tracted to the South African republic
by the episode of the Jameson raid and
which has been stimulated from time to
time by the sensational evidence ad-
duCed in the trial of Jameson and the
cross-eXamination of Cecil Rhodes, is
likely soon to be fixed once more on
Johannesburg, the capital of President
Krueger's government, especially if
England shall fulfill her recent threat
of war with the Beers.
For a correct understanding of the
situation as ii now exists, it is neces-
sary to remember that the fertile pas
turage lands Of the Transvaal were
first the property of the Kafirs and
then We're won by the Beers by con-
quest, But the Beers made no at
tempt to develop any other industry
than Cattle-raising; and when gold was
discovered in the region, it was Uit-
lander capital, brain and Drawn (by
Uitlander is meant outsider) that
opened the rich gold mines now consti-
tuting the principal wealth of the
Transvaal. The Beers, being earliest
on the spot, organized a government
and passed laws forbiddlng the Uit-
landers to vote But they do not pre-
vent the Uitlanders from paying taxes
On the contrary, the latter, who out
| number the voting Beers almost two to
| one, supply the greater part of the
| revenue for the government in which
they have no voice. In morals it is a
toss-up whether the Uitlanders
wouldn't have as good a right to grab
| control away from the Beers as the
Beers had to seize it from the original
inhabitants, the Kaftirs. In general
| breadth and intelligence the Uitlanders
comprising chiefly .Englishmen and
| Americans-are pretty nearly as vast
| an Improvement on the Beers as the
Beers We're on their dusky predeces-
sors.
Since President Kruger beat back
i the too-previous Jameson raid, the
| conceit Of the Beers has swelled to dam
| gerous proportions. Contrary to the
constitution, they have passed laws au-
| thorlzing the expulsion of aliens for

virtually puts it in their power to seize
any Uitlander on mere suspicion and
hustle him by force out of the country;
and have also abridged most arbitrarily
the liberty of the press. 1t is alleged by
Joseph Chamberlain the English CO.
| lonial secretary, that these and other
| actions by the Kruger government
| amount to a breach Of treaty stiuula-
| tions and give cause to Great Britain
| to resent such a high handed course
| by force of arms. Here, for the pres
ent, the matter rests, At the time Of
the Jameson raid American sympathy
was with the Beers; but that was be-
cause the facts in the case We're imper-
fectly understood. We suspect that If
a second clash shall come, the Yankee
nation will be content to keep its sym,

Friendly Advice to the Mayor.

one does not like to think that the
mayor of Scranton deliberately falsi-
fled when he sent a written notice to
common council that Street Commis-
sioner Kinsley bad resigned to take eff
feet April 30; but in the light Of Mr..
Kinsleys positive denial an issue of
Neracity is raised of the broadest
character. 1t can hardly be believed,
as in charity one would like to believe,
that the mayor wrote that letter under
a mistaken conception of the facts.
The matter was one concerning which
he had ample opportunity to become
informed. First be asked Kinsley to
resign. Then one branch of councils
passed a resolution asking him If kins-
ley would resign. And lastly, after
prolonged agitation, he sent word that
Kinsley had resigned. And now Kins-
ley says he did nothing of the kind
and intimates that the mayor, in claim
ing to the contrary, knowingly said
what was untrue.
Taken in connection with the mayor $
other extraordinary conduct in sum-
moning, without a vestige of legal au-
thorlty, new joint convention of coun
ellis to elect a city solicitor, this pecu-
liar incident suggests that the chief
executive of our proud city is, to put it
mildly, somewhat obfuscated. We are
not disposed to be critical; and we wish
TO say that for the mayor personally
we entertain the kindliest feeling, but
it occurs to us that FOR his own sake,
mo less than for the good repute and
welfare of the city, he ought to pull
himself together, adopt some definite
policy and stick to 1t. His reputation
will not survive very much of such
official vacillation as has characterized
his treatment of the Kinsley matter.

MOonslllne.

Some time ago the state department
at Washington gave out the substance
of a report from our consul at Birming-
ham, NJ. Parker, which set forth, in
effect, that the iron and steel interests
of the United States We're literally un
derbidding the iron and steel manu-
facturers of Great Britain in their own
markets. The statements made in it
were so astonishing that little credence
was given to them by the majority of
American readers until soon afterward
the newspapers began to print fairy
stories from Pittsburg alleging what
wonderful things Andrew Carnegie had
done and was going to do in this direc-
tion.
In the Philadelphia Ledger ]. NJ.
Swank, who speaks for the American
Iron and Steel association, offers re-
ply to this remarkable document which
is worthy of attention. Mr.. Swank's
Views may be condensed in the
statement that the conditions which
are presented as threatening the
supremacy of the English IRON
master at home do not exist in
reality. First, Englands own ores and
the cheap foreign ores she has been
using are not exhausted nor likely to
become exhausted; second, the growth
of American competition is less sub
stantial than Consul Parker seems to
be aware. He speaks of the ease with
which American manufacturers trans
port their ores 600 or 800 miles to the
blast furnaces, and transport the fin
ished product another 500 miles to tide
water, and then ship so as to compete
with the British homemade steel. The
actual fact, Mr.. Swank says, is that
not pound of steel rails has been sent
to England nor a pound of northern
iron. Southern iron has been sent
over for the simple reason that cotton
steamers take pig iron at a nominal
freight rate for the advantage it gives
them in ballastlng their vessels, which
sail better in this way than if loaded
with cotton only, and even this, he
claims, quoting from the London Econ
omist, April II last, "is In a large meas
ure due to the exceptionally depressed
condition Of all important industries
OF the United States"
The clater about Carnegie selling
rails in London is intended for effect.
The fact is that Carnegie isn't selling
half as many rails in the United States
as people think he is. When the do
mestic steel trade gets over its scare
and the railroads secure income enough
TO warrant them in ordering replenish-
ments, the mill whistles in these parts
will toot a different tune.

EqualiZing Matters.

Replying to the arguments OF several
newspapers that the proposed Inherit
ance tax In New York state (and we
now refer TO this subject with especial
interest because a modified form of
inheritance. taxation Is under serious
consideration by the legislature at Har-
risburg) aims n blow at thrift and in
dustry and tends to discourage accu-
mutation, the Springfield Republican,
certainly a conservative journal, makes
reply that these contentious are really
an argument against any taxation of
wealth.
"All taxes" it proceeds, "are q fine
upon accumulation, and we must mar
vel, in view of the objections offered to
the Inheritance tax, that tho existing
taxes in the state and city have not
long since discouraged accumulation
and actually destroyed all incentive
thereto. And since, as we are told,
great individual accumulations Jointly
bless the rich and the poor It is to be
wondered at that the present move
ment against the increased inheritance
estates above a certain limit shall be
exempted from oil taxation in order to
increase the blessing of large accumu-
latioB, in which blessing the poor Shall
find ample compensation for the bur
den OF having to supply all the public
revenue"
The attitude of opposition assumed
by few wealthy persons to the inher-
itanCe tax rests, the Springfield paper
thinks, upon the bold assumption that
extraordinary individual wealth is the
sole product of honest thrift and in
dustry, rather than largely of privileg-
es created by the law or taken in spite
of The law. But even admitting this
last extraordinary assumption,w have
yet 20 consider the fact that through
the protection of the state alone have
these fortunes been made possible to
have and to hold and that their obliga-
tiOns to the state increase quite out of
proportion to the increase in individual
| accumulation. To contend, therefore,
that the state cannot justly impose
| special levies upon large wealth or up
| on its peaceable and easy transfer from
the dead to the living, which alone the
state makes possible, is to contend that
wealth is justly privileged to enjoy the
extraordinary benefits of orderly soci-
ETY. without rendering any fair equiva-
| lent"
1t seems to us that this argument is
unanswerable. 1t is cut of the ques-
! ton for any one seriously to contend
| that as matters now stand wealth pays
as large a percentage of taxation to
| the state as poverty does. A govern.
ment was never devised that did not
| put its heaviest burdens upon the me-
| dunn and poorer classes, and the United
| States is not an exception to the rule.
| Consequently an inheritance tax, grad
| ed or fiat, is a defensible and within
| limits, en- equitable attempt by the
| state to equalize matters. 1t differs
| from an income tax in that it makes its
| levy at the time wher payment is most
| convenient and certain.

The Tariff Bill Reported.

1t is clear that in the form in which
the new tariff bill has been reported in
the senate it embodies distinct i'm
provements. In two details in particu-
lar is the present form preferable--that
wherein protection is extended equally
TO bituminous and TO anthracite coal,
and that which imposes an additional
duty Of A cents per barrel on beer.
The one change provides against un-
foreseen contingencies and the other
assures ample revenue from the mo-
ment the bin becomes effective, not
withstanding the elimination of the
retroactive clause.
The proposed duty or a dime per
pound on all tea imported prior to Jan.
1, 1900, can be defended IL il can be
shown that such a duty is imperative
for revenue purposes. The people Of
this-couh~- Ril submit TO such taxa
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-05

tion If convinced that IL Is necessary to
the sovency Of the government But
unless such necessity can be made to
appear the imposition of this duty
would constitute an experiment Of haz-
ardous expediency. We consider this
the worst blemish yet noted b. the sem
ate bill, and have no doubt that 1t will
be removed ere the measure reaches the
president for approval
Further examination may disclose
additional defects, but these can be
corrected during the bills considera-
tion in open senate. Sufficient time
should be taken to insure a well-di-
gested and symmetrical law, but public
opinion does not invite purely factious
objection, amendment or discussion
and the senator who shall abuse his
office in either of these methods win
depart from Washington marked
