PHING lip TAX MONEY.

The Springfield CNass.) Republican, in
discussing war revenue measures, says
that II long time bonds were used to
raise the temporary loan, the end of the
war would find the extra tax money
piling up in the Treasury to the distress
of the money market and with no outlet
save through purchases of Immature
bonds at a premium or through gratuitous
loans to pet banks.
But that is not all. The extra
tax money would continue to pile UP 10
the distress of the masses from whom 1t
would continue to be wrung, and to the
encouragement of jobbery and extrava-
gance Should the end of the war find
the Republican party in power, that party
may be depended upon to contrive
excuses for perpetuating the war taxes
for a long season. and for max
ing ducks and brakes of the receipts 10
its own advantage.
Our credit and resources should be
used to the fullest to provide all the
money necessary to prosecute the war 70
a speedy conclusion and a complete VIC
tory for American arms. AS to that
there should be absolute unanimity
in Congress. In this matter the Demo
Gratis should not be. nor will they be,
less Jealous than the Republicans. None
the less the Democrats would do well
TO guard against schemes of taxation
and fnancierlng that would go beyond
this and might result in putting a politi-
cal lever in the hands Of the Republican

The publication OF Zolas paris" is an
incident in the literary world long since
closed, since it occurred at the beginning
of March, but 1t was the occasion Of the
disclosure of piece Of information which
possesses a continuing interest, says the
Nation. Sixty-three thousand copies had
been ordered in France in advance OF
publication. Ten thousand Of these were
countermanded, probably on account or
the famous trial, and yet 5000 was the
number dispatched the first day. Fifteen
thousand copies more than usual had
been ordered from foreign countries. This
just about doubled the number of volumes
usually sent abroad. A novel of Zola's,
or of any of the half-dozen writers most
in view in France, is distributed by pub
fishers to the trade in proportions that
rarely vary. One-fifth of the production
remains in Paris, one-hfth Is taken by
the railway bookstalls, one-fifth only
goes to the booksellers of the depart
ments, and two-fifths go abroad. Russia
absorbs the largest number of them; az
ter her comes Germany. then England,
and then Italy. These figures seem 90 in
dicate that provincial France is not doing
much reading, and, adds the Nation, 1t
might be curious TO inquire whether
Frenchmen living in the country read
less than the same class in other lands,
as there must be some good reason why
the literary output of France runs so
much below that Of Germany or Of Eng
land

THE rnrLrpprxEs rnonLEM.

A contemporary asks: Are We going
TO retain the Philippines? Was the ac-
QUESTION OF the Philippines one OF the
chief objects OF the war; II not, why
should pewey's fieet-so much needed at
present in the West Indies-be lying Idle
on the other side of the globe?' In the
two last questions, there is an insinuation
that will strike the average reader as
hardly less than absurd. 1t Is that our
taking up of the Cuban quarrel was mere
~ blind TO hide a preconceived policy
OF territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the far
East
The fact is. that when Dewey was
turned out of the neutral ports on the
other face OF the globe. there was no
choice left MIN but TO make for MS ships
a haven in the enemys possessions or
sail for home, with the prospect, as the
situation then presented itself, OF ar
irving here too late to be OF any mate
rial service in bringing the war TO
close. In accepting the former alterna-
tive. ne not only struck Spain biow'
the moral effect of which was very great
but eliminated from the war problem the
nossibility of. SPANS Atlantic naval
forces receiving re-enforcements from
her Asiatic squadron. Had Dewey sailed
for home the Spanish admiral In the
waters OF the Philippines would have
been free to detach for Atlantic service
a part Of his squadron. at least. II wouid
seem, therefore, that the order 10
Dewey TO capture or destroy the Spanish
feet must be regarded as associated
from any question of concealed territorial
policy. It was dictated and 1ustihed
by the exigencies of the existing cohul-
tions. and having been carried out so
successfully, to let go at this juncture our
hold in the Philippines would De 10
commit a serious blunder. Not TO make
our victory more complete by driving the
Standards from Sthe islands would be TO
neutralize the moral effect of Deweys
achievement, lose prestige, and REIN
quish an advantage that is capable OF
being made powerful factor In tho mat
ter Of bringing Spain to terms. Hence
the two questions so far discussed may
be said TO dismiss themselves.
But not so with tne HiSb pu'S'i''''
which is. Are we going to retain the
Philippines? There appears no doubt
that strong efforts are being made In
some quarters to create sentiment
among the masses In favor of a per-
manent occupation OF the islands-ln
favor of a policy of land grabbing. That
is TO say, there appears no doubt that
efforts are making TO bring about the |
discrediting Of our solemn pledges regard
ing Cuba. the reputation Of the |
wise doctrine OF the fathers Of the re-
public as summarized by Mr.. Monroe. |
and the precipitation OF conditions that |
would necessitate the Incorporation into |
our government machinery Of features |
entirely foreign to the genius of our in
stitutions. Truly, If this is to be avoid
ed. if we are TO keep out of the whirl-
pool of European diplomacy with its
jealousies and quarrels and II we are TO
maintain the integrity of the bulwark
we have built up against European ag-
erosion in this hemisphere, it is time that
the craftsmanship of the country was
organizing an earnest crusade against
the expansion propaganda.

Why must our volunteers be bundled
into railway trains to 80 eight miles, or
200 miles. unless there be vital reasons
for getting them to the objective point
at once? How can they acquire the ex-
perience so much desired except by ac-
quiring 1t practically? We say they must
be trained Why not train them? When
can this training be inaugurated so aus
piciously as at the present time? Oh
course, there may be some better way.
In that case, Of course we shall be en-
lghtened very soon.-The Washington

Our volunteers are not yet prepared 10
undertake long marches, but 1t would DC
well for them to be practiced In snort

the fighting. our soldiers will be cailed
upon to do a deal Of campaigning IN
Cuba, and those OF them who can walk
long distances with ease Will ma that
they have an advantage over less fortu-
nate comrades.

moro forbearance on both sides during
sherman's continuance in Mckinley's
Cabinet than the public knew.
In these latest expressions OF opinion
on important questions Sherman happens
TO take the right view. but lately II mas
been very questionable whether he had
any permanent convictions on any sub
tect. He has reversed his own opinions
on several occasions.
AS 10 the matter of forbearance. IL
sherman's incumbency OF the Office of
Secretary OF State embarrassed the
President, Mr.. Mckinley has none to
thank for that but himself and his friend
Mark Hanna. Never was there commit
ted a greater bfunder than that of the
appointment OF Sherman to be Secretary
Of state, and when the final object of his
appointment is considered. the matter
stands in the light of one of the greatest
public and political scandals of the day.
Sherman, whatever his mistakes while
he held the office. was no party to the
scandal further than that he was weak
enough to allow his ambition 70 be played
upon. Indeed, considering all the circum-
stances, 1t can hardly be said that he
was responsible in the premises at all.
He was the innocent victim of a political
conspiracy, concocted. to pay Mark Han
ma for services rendered.
We have no sympathy with Sherman's
political record, but certainly 1t seems
TO us his devotion to his party should
have saved him from being allured in his
declining years from place of honor,
in which he could do his reputation for
craftsmanship no harm, into a position
in which it must have been foreseen he
would. by reason Of incapacity, discredit
that reputation.
