TAXES AND PATRIOTISM.

There is an impression that the war taxes are expected to produce something like $200 900 900. It Is a mistake.
 The estimated revenue that will be pro- duced by the new system of taxation amounts In all to s2S4 900 900, but the rev enue for the present year upon some of the items amounts to S146,000 000. The diff ference, S13S, 100000, is the increase over the amount levied in times of peace. Strictly speaking, then, the war taxes amount to comparatively small sum and are so we'll distributed that no one will feel the burden in serious way.
 Thus far there has not been an express sion of dissatisfaction from any source This graceful acquiesence on the part of the people is but another evidence of in- tense, answering and unquestioning loy- alty. All things, including life and prop erty, are at the command of those in authority. Small wonder, in view of this. that the Old World looks on with amaze ment at a people contented, happy and prosperous in the midst of a costly foreign war And a great wonder 1t would be If any of them should be so careless as to attempt to dictate what this country should do in the end. The undertaking 2 would be fraught with great peril and, as 1t looks now. none of them will modest the United States when the final settle ment comes.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Interested in the Purchase of the Galveston, Laporte and Hous-
 ton Road

NEW YORK. July 9.-The Times says: C. r. Huntington was asked last night whether he was interested in the pur- chase of the Galveston, Laporte and Houston Railroad, which was bid in at foreclosure sale two or three days ago by George c. Holt of Woodstock, Conn. for s400,000 The railroad was ordered sold by the United States Court In Texas some time ago, but the upset price of $500 900 was higher than any bid received Subsequently the upset price was re- duced.
 MT. Huntington would not say that the road had been bought for him. but he in- timated that such might be the case. He said he was interested with persons who he believed, were going to bid for the road. He did not know MT. Holt and therefore, was not prepared to say whether or not his friends had secured possession of the property. MT. Hunting ton said he personally made an offer for the Galveston, Laporte and Houston some time ago, but it was refused.
