SIZE OF THE BURDEN

There is very natural inquiry as to the
increase in the tax levy that will be &C.
casioned by the issue of 100000 per
cent 40-year bonds for the tunneling Of
North Broadway and West Third streets
to be voted upon Wednesday, July 6. TIC
meet the interest coupons and one-for-
tieth of the principal, the tax levy-based
upon the present assessed valuation of
real and personal property of the city,
$50, 900, 000-will be one and seven-tenths
Il 7-10) of cent on the hundred dollars
valuation for the first year, and this will
vary from year to year as the total valua-
ton may be increased or fall below the
aggregate sum named, and as the prin-
cipal of the debt is reduced by payment
of one-fortieth $4,000 annually. The
bonds will be gradually called in for re-
demption, while the total valuation OF
real and personal property, upon which
the annual levy is made, may be expect
ed to steadily increase, so that the bur-
den will become lighter as the city ex-

sumo that General Merritt will meet with
few If any obstacles in taking immediate
possession. He will have most delicate
mission to perform, for the populace will
not, in advance of his coming, be dis
posed to anticipate his pacific purposes.

Long the victims of Spanish misrule

hunger, if not the perils of starvation,
and the menace of disorder. When they
shall awaken to realization of the fact
that the Yankees have come to liberate
rather than to enslave them, and that,
with the institution of a strong and
decorous government, they will be privi-
legged to resume their wonted occupa-
lions and begin anew the rebuilding of
what has been destroyed, they will be
very likely to conclude that the dread
thunder of Dewey's guns down the bay
was really but the prelude to a new and
brighter era of peace, prosperity and
plenty-that the "fall of Manila" was a
misnomer, a blessing in disguise.
All this now seems contingent only
upon their ability to hold out until Mer-
rift shall arrive, upon the good fortune as
we'll as the sagacity of that official in
inaugurating a provisional government
without friction or untoward incident.

STRANGE soL1c1rUDE

TIT is amusing, these days, to read the
xtherly advice which is being rendered

Xewspapers. 1t may seem strange that
fhis advice is confined solely to the ques-
f(pn of fusiona butt such is the fact. To
|pch an extent have these papers car
Red the matter that they have become
3{earisome, dwelling upon the doleful ca
5mities which will surely overtake the
4keopIe's party If it joins in union ticket
nth the Democrats. They have even
0oubled themselves to ransack history
I'd relate sorrowful tales of the gradual
ht constant decline of the Peoples par
In numbers through the baleful infiu-
ices Of fusion. And finally. they have
Minated that If the Peoples party

The interest shown in the future well
fare of the Peoples party by these Re
publican papers. which are playing the
part Of scarecrows in the Republican
cornfieN in the interests of the Repub-
lican party is 50 sudden and SO different
from their conduct upon former occa-
sions, as justly to excite the astonish-
menf ofthe members of all parties. and
to call for an investigation to ascertain
whether they are moved thereto by COM
miseration or are actuated by self-in-
terest.
In the mutations of things political 1t
will be pleasant to pause a moment and
dwell upon the fact, of which we have
here an apt Illustration, that Republican
newspapers condescend occasionally to
hold peaceful communication with the
worst hated of all its political enemies. 1t
is not long since Republican newspapers
were devoting all their columns to the
daily abuse of the Peoples party and
characterizing its members by all the
opprobious epithets which habit has ac-
customed and expediency has taught
them to substitute for facts and argu-
ment.
For every rational act there is a
motive, and, If we may be permitted to
assume their cuteness is some evidence
that they havn reason, the natural in
quiry is. What is the motive in putting
their noses into the affairs of the Peoples
patty? ~ -
| The answer Is notsfar to seek. These
newspapers, AS inspfred mouthpiees, see
the danger ahead of the Republican party
in union ticket They know that an
honorable coalition of the silver and re-
form forces upon a common platform
means defeat in the -November-election
for the Republican party, and that there
by 1t will lose the fat places which it
might enjoy, perhaps, for another four
years, if the Peoples party would follow
their advice and not join in the fusion
movement.

A NET GAIN FOR OUR SIDE

John Bull has. without any intimation
from Washington, pretty effectually bot
tied up Camara's fleet in the Suez canal,
by refusing to permit it to be coaled at
British stations. Lord Conner has
stopped French firm from selling fuel
to the Spanish admiral, and the Egyptian
governor of Port Said, doubtless inspired
from London, has also decreed that he
must dig for coal somewhere else.

wisdom of the policy of non-interfer-
enee and, complete neutrality early adopt

mems to be highly beneficial to the United
states. Its refusal to permit Admiral
Dewey to coal at Hong Kong, just prior
10 the departure Of his fleet for the Phil

An unfriendly act, but it is now recognized

Hunger Only a Habit

1t is claimed that the complaints of lack
of food at the soldiers camps grows out of
the fact that the change in the habits of the
men from Indoor to outdoor life sharpens
the appetite and the change from the home
variety to the coarser camp food doesn't
entirely satisfy the stomach. But after they
get used to the new life the army ration will
be found satisfying and sustaining, and as
a rule sufficient in quantity.-Minneapo
