The Register INDUCES in a TRADE of
vile abuse of the Parkersburg State
Journal and The Intelllgencer, because
they referred to William ]. Bryan's Gus
tom of making speeches at free silver
meetings and county fairs for share Of
the gate receipts, and in some cases
fixed price of from $500 to $1,000 a speech.
It is no secret that Mr.. Bryan is pursu-
ing this course. and since Mr.. Bryan Is
only private citizen who has adopted
this method to make money for himself,
and for the fund in the next campaign,
in which he expects to be again a candl-
date, we do not clearly understand why
a reference to 1t, or even criticism of II,
in this or any other paper, should call for
broadslde of indignant Billlngsgate
from our Popocratlc neighbor.
A newspaper that cannot make refer
ence to the President of the United States
or any other prominent Republican with
out dpplylng to him an epthet or abusive
language is no paper to lecture on the
propriety of legitimate criticism of
politician who fixes price on his advo-
cacy of the cause of which he poses as
the especial champion.

alarm" and again" as IL we had been
caught before, that is nearly as bad as
throwing u brlck-bat at u gentleman
around corner 1t is demurrable for
Its repugnancy, We did not view with
alarm. We did not even use spy
glass. We simply looked on the level.
Neither did we "see evidences" that the
French revolution Is TO be revived VERY
soon" on the American stage with Alt
geld, Tillman and Henry George as
Robesplerre, Danton and Marat. Very
soon" is wholly misleading, Every one
knows that, though the doors open at
1880, the performance rarely begins be-
fore S:15. There are some people who
have no reasoning faculties, no mag
nation: and we apprehend the Tribune
writer belongs to this category. He sees
nothing but what Is set before him on
the table. That there may be a cup
board, with a bone In Ii; a closet, with
skeleton; does not strike his fancy.
That the people OF the United States
are better fed, better housed, better
clothed and better educated than any
other people in the world Is certainly
true, and being true, it may be said
taking the Bryan speeches OF last year,
and the following which those speeches
secured, they are the most discontinued
and unreasonable people. 1t is easy to
say that II "they should conclude that
any political changes are necessary, or
promising. they Will make them princi-
pally through the ballot-box." Our i'm
preston Is that Debs, and his followers,
were not thinking much OF the ballot
box when they were burning up Chica-
go in 1894. Our impression is that but
for the power Of the government, and
the presence of troops, good deal OF
damage might have been done. With
Bryan in the white house and Altgeld
where he was. that which was merely
an emeute would have deepened into an
instruction: the success Of this in Chi
cago, even for a few weeks, and who
shall say that Indianapolis, Cincinnati
and st. Louis would have remained
passive lockers on; and, the torch Of
the incendlary once master of the great
cities, who shall further say that the

II II is true that Spaln's reply to the
United States is to the effect that the
Spanish government refuses TO recog-
ntze that this country has any interests
IN Cuba, 1t is very likely that crisis in
the situation will be preclpltated on the
delivery of the communication to this
government. 1t is stated that the COM
municatien decided upon by the Spanish
cabinet is courteous in tone, but very
determined in rejecting the substance OF
the American note"
A Madrid dispatch says that Spain
"resolutely asserts her determination to
settle the Cuban question herself with
out foreign assistance or interference of
any kind. She declines to fix any date
for the paciiication Of Cuba, which she
proposes to bring about as she sees fit,
by force of arms and by political reforms
eliminating In autonomy combined"
Furthermore Spain complains that this
country has not strictly observed inter-
national law. and threatens that the
right to search American vessels IN Gu
ban waters will be enforced.
All OF this is not calculated to allay the
feeling against Spain and the sympathy
for Cuba In this country. Diplomatical-
Iy-as the note is said to be worded, 1t
means but one thing. The United States
government is virtually invited to at
tend to its own business and let
Spain bring the war to q close
in her own way. Spain sig
nffes, in other words, that she will
stand no interference ormediatlon on the
partof the United States or any other
power.
AS the Spanish reply has not yet been
formally laid before the President and
the cabinet, the course that will be pur-
sued IN view Of the defiant attitude 1t as
sumes cannot be predicted, but judging
from the sentiment of the people as al
ready expressed in various ways. and
the action taken by the administration,
we may presume that effective action is
likely to be taken. Until the policy Is
shaped there will be much public ankle
ty to know what course will be taken.
The people have confidence in the wis.,
dom of the President and believe that
whatever he does will be credltable alike
20 his administration and the country.

Aoommission appointed by the govern
ment ofthe state OF Massachusetts to de-
wise ways of raising additional revenues
for the state has just made remarkable
report and recommends novel scheme
which is in the nature of an income tax.
It imposes tax on occupants of habi-
tations," and 1t should be entitled IAN
oct TO discourage the building Of any
thing but cheap houses" It is based on
the assumption that a mans income Is
estimated by the value of the house he
lives In. "A man with large income Is
supposed To occupy fine house, and
such q man is taxed on his supposed tn
come, the rate being ten per cent of the
estimated rental value OF the house In
excess of $500 year. The Baltimore
Sun describes the tax as follows:
A man who lives in house which the
assessors think should rent for 800 year
has 10 pay an income tax OF $40. II the
rental value OF the house Is $1,000 the tax
is $50 a year. II a man has two residences,
n city homo and q country nome, each
worth 1900 rental, his tax would be $3.50.
The tax must be paid whether tho person
owns the house or rents II. II ne owns
Il, OF course, he must pay, SO we presume,
the real estate tax upon It's value, and IN
addition tho income tax upon It's value,
and In addition the income tax upon its
rental value. II would seem that persons
in moderate circumstances who live In
house which rents for less than 800
year escapes the tax altogether. and Il rich
man can also escape by being content to
live in q Observation-Disclosures house Such
taxes as these are dangerous experiments.
In the olden times there was a window
tax upon dwellings In England. The re.
suit was that In order TO escape that tax
people deprived themselves OF sufficient
light and ventilation by building houses
without windows. II may bo that the
effect Of this way Of estimating mems In.
come may cause them to build cheaper
houses. and so retard Improvement and in
a measure deprive mechanics of employ
ment.
10 Massachusetts should adopt this
proposed tax she would take n step back
ward. It 10 n queer proposition
and one which would never
be popular with the people
or any state or city. A dlroct income
tax would be far more preferable to one
that would discourage progress In the
matter Of homo-buldlnE.

Louisville Courier Journal. Some
speculative observations which recently
appeared in these columns, touching the
soclallstic tendencies and possibility of
contemporary politics In the United
States, have encountered the usual
comment bestowed by those vehicles OF
dlsjointed thought, the daily newspa-
pers, upon every attempt to penetrate
somewhat below the surface of things
current and to set intelligent men to
thinking.
Thatthe times furnish not little food
for reflection will hardly be questioned.
The particular luoubratons OF the
Courler-Journal were not In the least
sensational BY n process OF deduction
perfectly simple and obvious they
sought to reason out certain consn-
quencos as likely to follow certain evils

While II is usually the case that the
first year after a new administration
comes in a political reaction occurs, and
the party in power sustains defeat at
state and local elections. the present year
is likely to prove an exception TO the rule.
This year the conditions are such that
the Republicans are not apt to lose much
by the movement of independent voters
from one party to the other, as is often
the case in an off year. A Washington
writer who is close observer notes this
fact and says that It is due to the threat
of free silver, which still corrupts the
Bryan wing of the Democracy, Until
1t can be clearly dispelled there will be
less of the off year Independent voting,
says the writer, while the revival of pros
perlty has prevented the dissatisfaction
among the people which the silver DEM
ocracy had hoped would be advantage
Gus to 1t. He continues:
But in the unexpected event OF series
of Democratic victories in November there
would be little real encouragement for the
free silver cause, That issue Is being gem
orally suppressed, and In nearly all cases
made Incidental TO something larger. il
Mary land and Kentucky should give Dem
ocratic majorities, for instance, as It is
entirely possible that they Will, It would
mean that the high steam pressure worked
up in the presidential year to lift these
two border states from their Democratic
mornings could not be kept up in an OFF
year.
That is about the size OF 1t. There is
not likely to be very heavy vote In any
of these states this year. but 1t is not
probable that the usual off year failing
off" will be as injurious to Republican
chances as our Popocratlc friends had
hoped.
