 "we are also having a lot of sickness in Jacksonville, where my regiment is sta toned, though not as much as at Miami. Out of about 1000 men encamped there about 200 are sick in the hospital. The deaths average about four a week. There is entirely too much typhoid fever, and the men also have malarial fever. My com pany has been the most unfortunate in the corps. We were situated immediately on one of the shell roads, the dust from which was blown directly into the mems tents. Shell dust is very unhealthy, and consequently it has laid up number of my men with levers
 '"There is strong talk of moving all the troops stationed at Jacksonville further up the Atlantic coast probably as far north as North Carolina, and hope it will be done at once.

London, July 27-The Berlin correspond ent of the Times says:
 The Cologne Gazette, in an article evil dently inspired, says it would be difficult to claim compensation for the losses of German firms at Manila because, though Spain is officially mistress of the Philip pines, she has no voice there: but when a settled government has been provided for the islands, then Germany will raise a claim. The Gazette saays that Germany has a fleet at Manila for no other purpose than to protect German interests while anarchy reigns.

The address Of Governor Tyler on
Memorial Day Qast Monday was adj
mirable in taste style, feeling and tenn
per. IL was an eloquent tribute TO the
bravery of the SOcthern soldier, and al
the same time an appropriate defence OF
the cause for which he fought and died.
His references 70 the changes wrought
by time and the feryent patriotism which
marked all his illusions % the restored
union, were a reflex 10 the emotions
which stir the heart OF all true Ameri-
cans at this time Of war and peril, when
the men OF the North and the men or
the South in q true spirit Of fraternity
have united as one man In the defence
Of the nation and the flag Of common
country.
While the Governor heart overflow
ed with love and tenderness for the dead
soldiers OF the Lost Cause. his soul was
filled with pride at the thought that the
sons and brothers of these buried heroes
had risen with enthusiastic devouon 10
aid IN freeing cuba and avenging the
murder Of the men on the Maine. As an
index 10 Southern sentiment I'm this hour
of danger to the country the speech or
Governor Tyler was. indeed. a graft
fving Confederation Of the fact that all
traces Of bitterness among the people
of Virginia and OF the whole South have
been entirely obliterated, and that the
love for the restored Union is as strong
I'm this section as It is in the North
the East or the West.
While pledgng the living 10 always

PRINCIPLES Of liberty which still live In this
great republic. and which under the
union Of indestructlble states are de-
stined 20 carry IL forward in its career
of imperial gradeur and power as the
protector Of the weak against the strong
There are periods I'm the lives OF men
when at the demands Of the occasion
they rise 10 the heights Of a lofty olo-
ouence which proves them as worthy or
their theme as it is deserving Of their
hest and greatest efforts. Such an occa-
sion was afforded Governor Tyler I'm his
eulogv Of the Confederate dead on Mon
dav last. and all who hear or have read
his burning words must admit th1t the
orator and his theme were united IN
making the address one of which every
Vireinian and all Americans should DC

TAXING CORPORATIONS.

The anti-corporation members OF the
United States Senate were determined 10
do something to show their antagonism
to organized wealth"
After having failed to get measure
through imposing q tax upon corpora
tons in general. compromise was mai
" effected by inserting in the war reve-
nue. bill a clause providing for tax on
the sugar trust and the oil trust.
But I'm the event that such tax
should be levied would those trusts Pay
nq Hardly. 1t would come out OF The
pockets Of the consumers Of sugar and
oil in the United States. AS well put
direct tax upon every pound Of sugar
and every gallon OF oil consumed as upon
the two great corporations which con-
troll these products. The people must
necessarily pay the tax in the long run
and a tax on all such corporations Is
tax upon their patrons.
1t Is a strange thing TO us that people
will not recognize this plain fact. The
poor man who has no property congrat-
ulates himself that he pays no taxes
but that is where he makes big mis-
take. The tax burden is one that rests
upon the shoulders OF all. ana no amount
OF dickerlng on the part Of lawmakers
can relieve any man from his part OF
the burden. IT IS something that regu-
lates itself Tariff taxes and internal
taxes are paid by the consumers OF the
land. By those who rent houses ana ouy
food and raiment.
In the same connection IS TO be men
TONED the effort Of those members or
the Senate who were DESTROYS OF put
ting a tax on bank deposits. The effect
. OF such a tax would necessarily have
been TO curtaf the deposits, and to take
money out Of circulation, as pointed out
bv Senator Caffery in his able argument
on this subject To curtail deposits IN
banks is to make money scarcer and YET
the very men who were trying TO do TINS
thing are those Who are constantly tell
ing the people that the matter with the
country to-day is that there Is not
enough money in circulation.

INVITATION TO CAPITAL.

We are interested to note that the plat
form adopted by the Democratic party
OF North Carolina recently in convention
assembled declared in one Of its planks
that the party favored the enactment OF
such legislation as would encourage cap
ital TO take investments in the state
further declaring that the Democratic
marty guaranteed that all such invest
ments should be justly protected.
We do not know how that plank Slip
ned in. During the past several years
the politicians of North Carolina have
been making war on capital, have been
denouncing the money power and or
qanized wealth." have tried TO cancel
an agreement by which the North Caro-
Ina railroad was leased TO the Southern
Railway Company, have applauded those
counties that repudiated their bonds
subscribed for the benefit Of certain rail-
road corporations and in various other
ways have shown their antagOnism to
capital.
Moreover this plank is entirely out Of
keeping with the spirit and letter of the
rest OF the platform. It declares in IA
vor Of the free coinage OF silver; in IA
vor OF the issuance Of $1JO,0O00OO of fiat
money. in favor Of an income tax, which
means a tax on the income OF capital
lists and not of others; in favor of law
that will prevent corporations from hav-
ing certain cases tried in the Federal
courts against government by fnjunc-
ton. which means that the courts shall
be robbed Of their power to prevent a
lawless mob from destroying the prop
erty of the rich.
With such platform as this how
can the party in North Carolina with
confidence invite capitalists TO invest in
that State? Capital Is proverbially TIM
id. and will go only where it can be as
sured of the protection Of the law. In
vain will the Democrats Of North Caro-
lima nromise such protection 50 long as
they stand upon a Populisuc platform.
Capitalists in studying this platform and
these contradictory declarations must
conclude either that the Populistio de-
clarations aforesaid are mere political
pyrotechnics displayed for political effect.
or else that the promise to protect capt.
tai is utterly insincere and unreliable.

THE DANGER OF MEDDLING.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal can see
no good. reason for returning the Con-
federate batte-hags. The flags are al
ready in our possession" 1T says, land
as completely under the control OF the
Southern people as the Northern people"
The point is well taken. Some Of our
Confederate museums would no doubt be
delighted to receive these precious old
battle-scarred' flags to enrich their coliec-
ton OF sacred works, and as an act of
friendliness the South would no doubt be
pleased at having the flags returned.
But otherwise we think Il makes no diff
ference TO the Southern people one way
or the other. 1t would certainly be a
most unfortunate thing to get up dis
cussion In Congress over this question.
and our deliberate opinion is that It would
be a mistake to bring the matter up at
this time
