Electric Road PAYS License

Under the state law the Electric
road, il it ran through Kenosha, would
be compelled to pay license of Il per
cent. of its gross income into the city
treasury. This would amount in Ke-
nosha to about $500 year. Cities re-
ceive three TIRES as much as the
country in proportion to1the mileage
The company has just paid it's taxes
for the past nine months in Racine
county. 1t runs right through Gale
donia township six miles, and the
company paid that town about $2OO Tor
the past nine months and the road was
not running we'll but for the last six
months
If the road ran through Kenosha,
about three miles, we would receive 5O
per cent. more on three miles than the
country six miles, which would easily
reach $500 year, and as the business
of the road increased the amount paid
to the city would increase, and after
the gross income of the road reaches
$3.50, 600 the rate they pay is raised to 2
per cent. If this gross income should
reach 100000 the rate would be 4
per cent. This matter should be
taken into consideration when the
road asks for franchise. 1t would be
quite a help for the city, and as the
city grows and the business of the road
increases the tax or license they would
pay the city each year would pay the
interest on a large block of the city
debt. Oak Creek, Caledonia and some
other towns in Racine county which the
road runs through are very much
elated over the amount they have re-
ceived and the increase they are likely
to receive in the future.

every one of them deserved, They are

CHINA is doomed, they say. That is
srue, but has the world just awakened
30 that fact. China has been doomed
for centuries. Ever since the first
simmer of modern civilization broke
mDon the orient the yellow Empire has
been as book that is sealed, a tale
shat is told. Her strength and i'm
pOrtance are past history, as irretriev-
ably lost as the great Chinese wall
whose crumbling ruins witness her de-
cadence, or the immortal Kahn who
Lead her forces to conquest. China
With her gIutted few and starving
masses belongs to a regime long ID
aisRse. She has been carried along a
burden to the world. Not long since,
Incumbered with a load.of barbarism,
she met civilized Japan in the field and
was badly beaten. Then the disinteg-
ration began. The first step has beer
taken. Now the great powers o.
Europe and Asia are following the ex.

SOME demonstrations of activity and
life have taken place in China. Ii
Hung Chang, who recently retired
from duty on account of i'll health, has
been recalled to power at Pekin.
Thousands of troops are being recruit
ed and the number of battalions in all
the Chinese provinces will be doubled
within thirty days. While it is graft
fyingto know that China will not lie
supinely by and see her empire cut to
pieces. it is only too evident that when
the crucial moment comes all her eff
forts will be of little avail.

THE past year has witnessed the
demise of many persOnages of note who
nave been conspicuous in the literary,
aolitieai and business life of the last
quarter of d century. Jean IngeloW
and Alphonse Daudet have been in the
public eye for years and have done
much to mould literary taste and re-
SOrm the evils of the age. Charles
Mama aud j. B. McCullagh were among
she most trenchant editorial writer's OF
she times. Their influence has per-
meated almost every branch of jour-
nalism with the inevitable result of re-
fiaing and enobling the press. 1t is
goft for the new year, or possibly the
approaching century, to fill the places
made vacant by their death. Canovas,
Daniel Voorhees, and Henry George are
names which have been prominent in
political circles. And in financial
spheres Barney Barnato and George
M. Pullman have been controlling fac
tors. All of these with many others OF
sqpal Importance, have been of meal
enlabIe service to their country and the
worlf 1T large. To them all the new
year owes some tribute of respect and
gratitude.

THE chairman of the ways and means
committee who has given his name to
the new tariff law has reason to feel
gratifed at the success which is meet
ing his measure. The figures of gov
eminent receipts and expenditures for
the month of December make a very
good showing. Excluding the receipts
on the Pacific railroad sale the revenue
for the month shows surplus of over
100000 above the expenditures.
The receipts from customs were about
$l,S0O,O00 over those of December,
1896. These figures add strength to
Mr.. Dingley's prophesy that the six
months from Jan..I to July l, would
show surplus instead of deficit.

d AMONG other things which the new
year may witness is another fight be-
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. 1t
seems that the estimable Fitz has not
moral strength sufficient to Withstand
the sings and arrows of outrageous for
tune, but must retire to the fistic ring
to escape a tong.o lashing. This is
surprising to say the least. One would
expect that the controversial fusillades
exchanged by Mr.. F. and " jim, dur

bat would have Injured him to harsh
talk.
