THE REVIEW OF THE SEVENTH
CORPS.

The parade and review of the Seventh
Army Corps, Maj Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
commanding, yesterday afternoon, was a
military pageant which will long be re-
membered in Savannah. Pretty nearly
the whole city turned out to see 1t, and
the people were well paid for their pains
Ten states were represented in the parade,
from Iowa and Nebraska in the North
west to South Carolina in the Southeast;
from Maine in the Northeast to Texas in
the Southwest; from Louisiana on the
Gulf to Illinois on the great lakes. 1t
would be hard to imagine q finer looking
and better drilled body or men than these
cenary soldiers; they are In the service for
the honor and glory of their country. In
a very great many instances the men in
the ranks are the sons of the best families
of the country; in a majority of in
stances they are men who have made
personal sacrifices in order to go TO the
front at the call of the President. They
carry their heads in the air In the proud
consciousness that, although only private
soldiers, they are the peers Of their
commanders or anybody else civilly. and
may aspire to and fill the highest offices
other great country has this assurance in
equal degree with the American.
1t was a fine sight to see regiment after
regiment tramp steadily and with utmost
precision before the reviewing stand and
down the streets, to the blare of bugles
and bands and the boom of drums. Off
GERS and men, Lees corps is one to COM
mand the applause of any observer, and to
arouse enthusiasm in the breast of every
patriotic citizen of the United States. The
typical face of the wearer of the Uniform
Is one of intelligence and honor. The mill
tary attache of a foreign legation at
Was hington, who was observing the en-
barkation of troops for the Santiago cam
paign at Tampa, remarked to a friend
concerning the Americans: EVERY man
of them looks fit to command" The OBJ
servation fits the Seventh Corps, with
very little qualification. The material in
1t Is equal to any emergency. 1t is an
army of free men, worthy
to represent and defend the
rights and institutions of free
men. 1t is an army to be proud Of 1t is
an honor to serve in it, and a greater
honor to command it. Gen. Lee and his
corps have the admiration and esteem of
their fellow countrymen, the citizens of
Savannah.

THE FEVER A rAcrnn

The movement of the Seventh CORPS 70
Havana may be delayed by the unsanltarv
condition of that city longer than was ex-
pected. In the little talk which Gen. Lee
made to the troops on Friday, he said
that he was preparing a speech which ne
was going TO deliver to them in Havana
probably the latter part of this month
He did not intend, of course. that what he
said should be taken very seriously. Still.
there is ground for thinking that when he
made the remark he thought it probable
that the movement to Havana would ha
begun not later than the latter part of This
month The statement in our WASHINGTON
dispatches yesterday, relative to the ont.
cropping of yellow fever in that city. and
the hesitation on the part of the govern
ment to send troops there before the civ
has been given a thorough cleaning iusti-
fies the opinion~-that the Seventh Corps
win not start for Havana as soon as the
latter part of this month.
There is considerable danger from vel
low fever in Havana, and the reports re.
ceived from there indicate that the dancer
viii continue for weeks unless The civ is
Thoroughly cleaned up at once. Two army
officers have died from it within the last
two or three days, and it would not he
surprising If reports were soon received
that others are suffering from the dis
ease. 1t is pretty certain that the govern
ment will not send troops there as long
as there Is serious danger that there would
be an epidemic of yellow fever among
them.
Gen. Wood appears to have succeeded
beyond his expectations In keeping yellow
fever from making its appearance in San
tiago. What has been done in thai citv in
keeping down the fever can be done prob
ably in Havana. 1t will take a great deal
more time, however, to make Havana a
comparatively healthy city than it did
Santiago.
It is better TO delay the departure of the
troops little while than to take great
risk in the matter of sickness among the
troops. The soldiers seem to be pretty
well satisfied here, and the people are sat
listed to have them here.

From the number OF tax reform bills
which are being introduced IL is safe to
conclude that the committee having charge
of such bills viii not want for material
from which to frame tax reform meas
ure One of the best of the bills SO FAR IN
troduced Is that of MIR. Freeman of COW
eta. 1t provides for county boards OF
equalization 1t ought to contain pro-
vision that all property shall be assessed
at its market value, or three-fourths Of
that value. Unless there is some rule IN
reference to the matter it will be I'M
possible to secure uniformity of taxation.
In one county property will be valued at
its market value and in another much be-
low that value. What Is demanded is uni
formity in assessments.
Another good bill is that Of Mr.. Brandon
Of Fulton 1t provides that neither the
widows of Confederate veterans nor Con-
federate veterans shall receive pensions
unless they are in INDECENT circumstances.
This bill is in harmony with the spirit OF
the pension law The belief now prevails
that many are receiving the states bounty
VINO are not emitted 70 II. liiSiS - az
reason why the people should be taxed to
provide for those who are able to provide
for themselves.
The bill of Mr. Swift of Ebert Is of
questionable wisdom. Business men are
taking notes all the time in the course OF
their business. These notes represent
their capital with which they do business,
and on which they are taxed Besides,
very considerable percentage of these
notes are never paid. 1t would not be just
to compel note holders to pay taxes on
notes which might never be collected. And
note holder couldn't say at the time of
assessment what proportion of the notes
held by him was good.
In reforming the tax laws of the state
the legislature has a task to perform that
is by no means easy. 1t Is a task that
cannot be performed hurriedly or In
haphazard sort of way. To do 1t well, so
that the prosperity of the state will not be
checked, requires the careful considera-
ton of many questions. The time has
come when the work of reforming the tax
laws of the state must be undertaken. If
the work is well done. the people win not
be slow to show their appreciation of II.

The New York Press, one of the few
remaining South-hating newspapers of the
North, says that the new public men
OF this section OF the country are "degen-
crates" It says: The soil that grew
Calhouns, Davises, Toombses. Benjamins
and even later Wade Hamptons. L. @. c.
Lamars, HAIRLESS and Carlisles, now
Yields Tillmans, Danielses, Baileys and
Marion Buffers" Without conceding in
the slightest degree that the men named
are "degenerates," or anything approach
ing that convenient but indefinite descrip-
tive term which is so often employed
when the commentator cannot think Of
anything else dlsagreeable to say, we have
no doubt that the South could name
Northern Statesman" to pair with any
so-called degenerate" statesman which
the Press can point out in the South. For
instance there are Tanner of Illinois, Quay
Of Pennsylvania, Hanna of OHIO, Plat of
New York, Chandler of New Hampshire,
and others that might be mentioned, who
sprang from and flourish in soils that once
produced men that were classed with Cal
houn, Davis. Toombs and the other great
Southerners.

In several of the states il Is announced
that the results In certain district, town
ship and county elections will not be def
initely known until the soldier vote, some
of 1t polled in the Philippines and some
in mid-ocean, has been received and ad-
ded to the civilian vote. This is, of course,
a little annoying, but it is not marker
to the uncertainty and annoyance that is
likely to come about when we shall have
made states of Hawaii and Porto Rico and
possibly of Luzon and Mindanoa also, and
the presidential elections at home are so
close that few votes on either side will
turn the scales.

SILVER AND THE ELECTION.

The Republican papers are taking the
position that the recent election was al
most as great blow to the cause of silver
argue this way: The Republican party cap
tured the Senate. and even if the Demo-
cratic party should win the Presidency in
1900 that body would prevent the passage
of any legislation favorable to silver
But the election showed that the free
silver sentiment has declined greatly, they
contend The Republicans made gains all
through the West where the silver senti-
ment was particularly strong two years
ago. The Democrats made gains of con-
gressmen in the East where the sentiment
is all against silver. In New York and
Pennsylvania, where the Democrats gained
congressman, there has been no change
in favor of silver. The gold Democrats
voted with the Democratic party for the
reason that they did not think the silver
question was an issue in the campaign.
The conclusion that the Republican pa
pers reach, therefore, is that there has
been a distinct decline in the silver sentl-
ment in the last two years. Are they right
in taking that position? Their presentation
OF the case is pretty strong. 1t may he
that the facts Justify it, If, however. the
prices of wheat and corn should be very
low during the next two years the silver
sentiment might become as strong as A.
ever was. Much depends upon the prices

CURRENT COMMENT,
Distinction without Difference.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

We are very philanthropic; we went to
war with Spain a "decaying'' nation
from pure motives of humanity. We had
no intention to grab an empire. Our souls
were above that. We We're merely dis
tressed to see how badly Cuba was govern
ed. That panied us to the quick. But the
natural desire of empire followed very
closely upon our philanthropic fit and our
war of humanity is hardly to be distin-
guIshed from ordinary wars of conquest.

The Inevitable Result.
from the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).

From the race riots in the South there
is no seeming help. They are deplorable;
they are disgraceful. But our mistaken
polity has made them inevitable. The
equality of the two races has been estab-
lished on paper. but il cannot be main
tanned in practice The weaker race must
bend to the stronger. This is law that
no act of Congress can repeal.

If Dreyfus were prisoner of this coun-
