MIR. KINKS equal taxation BILL, we
think. embodies one radical error. 1t is
the imposition of the one-half of one per
cent. for State purposes upon second
class property In addition to the local
rate. This is in violation of the prin-
cipIe stated by the Stockton Commission
that the present tendency was against the
levy Of a tax for State urposes upon real
estate. 1t is. besides, a hardship, mas
much as it places a heavier burden upon
railroad real estate than upon that of
private owners, plainly an unfair reversal
of the present unfair conditions, OF
which we so bitterly complain.
The bill should be changed SO as to Inn
pose the local rate only.
BY the way. the measure is presumably
only a ruse de guerre to help along the
main fight, which is to be on jersey
city's two per cent. proposition.

dent that Camden o some other county

those only where they could do the least
possible harm. Railroads and Canals was

"IHNIsFAILr AT ST. LUoY's.

st. Lucy's Dramatic Society, composed
of six young men and four young ladies
of the parish, presented last night in the
school hall the stirring drama "Innisfail,''
the proceeds of which will go towards
the church fund.
The drama last night was well played
and was received with a great amount
of enthusiasm by a big audience. If the
attendance is as large as 1t was last
night on the two following evenings that
the play is to be presented, it will reap a
very large sum.
Father Mclaughlin, who had the diff
cult task of training the amateurs, said
that he is satisfied that ''Inn:sfail" is the
best play that the society ever produced.
The following young people took part
last night in the play
Gerald O,Connor, M. Nolan; Felix
O'Flaherty, J. J Keane; Brandon Benner,
p. Kane; Con O. the Boys, j. Lambert;

MISS GAINES ON WOMEN PAINTERS

Miss Gaines lectured yesterday after
noon in the Carteret Club house on "Wom-
en- in Modern Art" She spoke of Rosa
Bonheu and Harriet Hosmer and several
other artists less we'll known. Miss
Gaines gave short biographies of these ar
lists and told of their work.
The lecture was illustrated by stereopti-
con views. The Rev. Mr.. Wells manipu-
lated the st~ereopticon. The views were
reproductions of the paintings of women
artists. Mss ain had secured all the
views of that kind to be found in New
York and Boston and she had several
made to order. The Views were all very
pretty and they helped to make the lee
ture one of the most interesting Miss
Gaines has given.
At the conclusion of the lecture refresh
mentS were served.

weyler's Campaign Against the
Women.

The arrest of women in Cuba for COM
unprecedented or unusual in such cases.
Even in our W a women were ar
rested who were suspected of giving aid
and information to the enemy. In any
European country, women, under similar
circumstances, would be as rigidly dealt
with as men. Even the punishment of
death might be inflicted on them in time
OF open warfare, for acting as spies or
other reasonable offenses.
The reason why the fate of the Cuban
women excites unusual solicitude is on
account of the brutalities of which the
Spanish nature is capable. The first ex-
efnpliication of this is in the incareera-
ton of The women with others of the
most shocking character. One can well
imagine what the life must be in the
convict settlements to which Spain sends
her political prisoners, and it is not too
much to say that the death penalty
would be merciful by comparison in the
cases of refined women.
It remains to be seen whether this new
departure of Weyler's win have any eff
feet upon the courage of the insurgents.
It is very certain that it will greatly
enhance the bitterness entertained to-
wards him in this country and the gen.
eral detestation of Spanish cruelty and
incivilization.
