Taxed Worse Than We Are.

From London Tit-Bts.
In the Philippine Islands all males over
twenty-one years of age must pay a poll
tax that equals about fl OF our money, and
the women must pay Is. A man must pay
license to sell cocoanuts from his own
trees or indigo of his own raising. Every
article of furniture that costs half sover-
e1gn is taxed. The curtain never goes up
at the theater unless f2 is paid to the gov
ernment, and for every act of slaughtering
his own animals, clipping his own sheep or
telling his own trees the Philippine farmer
must pay fee to the government. There
is eXacted government tribute for getting
married and for being buried, and at every
step and turn of his life the tax collector
holds out his hand to him, and it is not a
demand that can be refused. No wonder
Spain wishes to keep a possession that
yields such return; no wonder also that
the last sixty years have developed seven
teen rebellions in the Philippines.

II is said that there are between eighty

intoxicants are sold; 1t is certain that
Topeka's saloons are as we'll equipped
In goods and fixtures as those in the
average city Of 10000, although they do
not display themselves as prominently
as they do in towns like Leavenworth
and Pittsburg.
II the State Temperance Union will
get down to business 1t can do a great
work. A promiscuous scattering OF
speeches and resolutions will accom-
phsh nothing really definite. The worst
feature about the present status Of af-
fairs lies in the gambling evil that is
growing, in Topeka, at least, with an
alarming rapidity. The leading saloon
Of the city, which Is located at SIC Kan
sas avenue, is run in connection with a
gambling hell of the worst sort. It's
existence us surely known to the police
authorities, for the writer has seen
policeman who was leaving the saloon
take a look into the gambling rooms.
This condition of affairs would not and
does not exist in high license cities,
even where fragrant blackmail is COM
mon. 1t is time for something decisive,
and the State Temperance Union must
meet the present condition squarely or

The Advocate and News is In receipt
of a large number Of communications,
great many of which cannot be pub
lished because Of their length. The cor
respondence department should be a
prominent feature Of a weekly newspa-
per, but the papers space Is necessarily
limited. One long communication might
not be out of place, but when a dozen
are received the publication Of one Is
an injustice TO the other eleven. Short
communications are solicited. They
should be signed by the name Of the
writer and should not exceed 500 words
in length. The circulation Of the Ad-
vocate and News demands that several
pages be printed In the week preced-
ing the day of publication. The cor
respondence page is one OF these, and
correspondents are therefore asked to
exercise patience in awaiting the publi-
cation OF their communications.

There are ours in every profession,
and the general rule Is to let them pass
unnoticed. There are times, however
when forbearance ceases to be a virtue,
and good hearty kick comes into play
handily. A. J. r. Smith, the publisher
of the Topeka American, has given rise
to one Of these occasions. His stock in
trade is villificatiOn, and he has recently
flung his filth at ex-senator PETER. His
insinuatlon would be beneath mention
were it not for the fact that a Popullst
paper of this State has seen fit to copy
them. 1t Is not necessary to deny them,
for every one knows Mr.. Peffer's charaC-

The opponents of government owner
ship have no stronger argument than
that it would enlarge the spoils system.
A little musing ought to convince them
that the enlarged application Of the
principle would destroy the private grab.
The people would allow no private in
terest to govern, for the vast public in
terests would by their very greatness
crush anything of the sort.
