Keep Them Moving.

On Sunday morning last it was dis
covered, at an early hour in the day,
that an unusual complement of hobos
had been added to the population of
the town, and that they were unusually
impertinent and persistent in their
methods of inviting themselves to
share the breakfasts of the citizens.
1t was also very apparent that about
all the earthly possessions of the new
arrivals was contained in bottles. The
city marshal concluded that it would
be good day for them to drill to the
next town, SO he accordingly escorted
them them to the city limits in the
direction the seemed to want to 60,
and started them out on go-as-you-
please, but don't-come-back walk,
which, it is hoped, will last them the
rest of their natural lives.

1t is en- old principle that it is hard
to get men to do things that go against
the grain This may explain the fact
that Judge Mcguire did not pay MS
personal taxes until he was sued in the
courts. Now that it has been shown
that Mcguire was sued in 1894 for per-
sonal taxes, and that he has again been
sued for a So tax on his law library in
San Francisco, it may be assumed that
he takes this course as a means of ex-
pressing his practical disapprobation OF
the custom of levying a tax on per-
sonal property. Although he draws
salary of s., 900 a year as Congressman
and earns some money from his practice
as an attorney. he has studiously re-
Trained from buying real estate, which
might be taxed under his theory, and
he refuses to pay taxes on his law Ii
brary the only visible thing of his, be-
cause the tax is levied contrary to his
theory. A citizen who violates the laws
of the State he seeks to govern sets
bad example to the youth of the land, as
we'll as to his fellow men. Whatever
may be Maguire's theories, the law Of
this. State to-day levies a tax on per-
sonal property. OF course it will be
said by the apologists for Mr. Mcguire
that this is an assault upon him be-
cause he is a candidate for Governor,
but we have simply commented on the
facts as published in San Francisco. If
Mr.. Mcguire objects to these things be-
ing made public why does he not pay
his taxes like a man?

sition, and substituted mis- thoughts for
mine whenever he considered it neces-
Sary to do 50. For instance, where I
speak of Christ going to the cross for
the sake of the truth He profeSsed, the
censor substituted a statement that
Christ died for mankind, i. e., he at
tributed to me an assertion of the dog
ma of the Redemption which I consider
to be one of the most untrue and harm
full of church dogmas. After correcting
the book in this way. the spiritual CEN

To protest in Russia is impossible;
no newspaper would publish such a
protest, and to withdraw my book from
the magazine and place the editor in
an awkward position with the public
was also not possible.
So the matter has remained. A book

ing thoughts which are attributed to
me which are not mine.
In view of such revelations it is in
teresting to speculate regarding the eff
feet that the extension of such Gov
ernments power throughout the Orient
must produce upon the millions destin-
ed to come under it's control. 1t would
seem that Russia has made but little
progress in substantial liberty through

To this chill, remote region the Czars

Tolstois complaint justifies the old
belief that there can be no compromise
with tyranny-that there are but two
real forms Of government, the Russian
and the American, that is, the govern
ment of tyranny and the government
Of freedom. Breathe to-day in the thin
atmosphere of st. Petersburg your
doubt as to the political order Of
things. as to affairs that vibrate at the

A debate is going the rounds on the
question, Should dissenting opinions
of Appellate Courts be suppressed?
Our own judgment is that they should;
that there is nothing but confusion
and disorder growing out of their pub
licity. AS long as the majority opin-
ion of the court is the final judgment
and must be accepted as the interpre-
tation of the law, there is nothing gain
ed by giving the opinions of the dis
senting Justices In Louisiana the Con-
stitution prohibits publicity being given
to dissenting opinions, and the regula-
tion gives satisfaction to the courts
and to the people. The dissenting
opinion when published increases the
temptation to petition for rehearing, it
Quickens the hope Of getting the court
to reverse itself. The publicity COM
planned Of stimulates. the Justices to
write opinions which can do no pos
sible good, and thus they are with
drawn from other work of the court
demanding their attention. 1t should
be sufficient for a Justice to announce
his dissent, but he should not be en-
couraged to have his dissenting views
set forth 'in extenso."

Her emancipation from the tyranny
Of Kings and the iniquities of the past
is not yet complete. View the case as
one may, the conclusion is inevitable
that the heritage of the English people
and their descendants is the richest
ever vouchsafed to man-the heritage
of Liberty 1t may be true that France
lis a land of polish and art, but 1t is not
a land of liberty. The blood OF the
brave men who forced old King John
to sign Magma Charta flows in the
veins of Englishmen to-day, and they
love liberty. That same blood was in
the veins of the Americans of lIl6-
and their descendants look with con-
tempt, as do their British cousins, on
all such alleged forms of liberty as
flourish under the so-called French re-
public. Evolution yet has work to do,
time must season the generations yet
to come, before the Frenchman will
love and demand liberty as the children
of freedom develop it and love it be-

LIGHT ON RUSSIA.

Anything that throws direct light on
esting just now, since there is a great
rivalry between Russia and England
for supremacy in the Empire Of China.
Nothing in all the history of.the Czars
is so powerful an indictment of the
Government as a recent statement of
Tolstoi, wherein he paints the literary
censorship to which he has been sub
jected in colors that leave no room for
the apologists that have lately set forth
the claim that the Russia Of Stepniak
is not the Russia of to-day; that the
slavery portrayed in Underground
Russia" does not exist in this era, and
that half of the complaints Of such
writer's as Stepniak are based on the
complaints of crazy anarchists.
Waving the fact that Ingersoll, Wen
dell Phillips and like men have said
time and again that they would be nj
hilists if they lived in Russia, and for
getting that it is a country where trial
except by star chamber proceedings
are unknown, let us pause for mo-
ment and weigh the words of Tolstoi.
He is beyond doubt, in spite of his many
eccentricities of belief, in spite Of his
literal following of what he conceives
to be the teachings of Jesus, a genius
in letters. Such books as his Anna
L iab &
says contains chapters unequaled in all
the worlds literature, stamp him as one
of the immortals, and to-day the world
of scholarly readers, as we'll as millions
of intelligent people in lowly walks.
herald the coming of each Of his new
books as a revelation.
Yet Tolstoi, the foremost Russian
the greatest genius of the Government
that is now struggling to cover the
Orient with its laws and it's system OF
tyranny, has been compelled to print
his last book in England, for he finds
the Englishmans liberty and the Eng
lishman's laws Con which our own were
founded) the only kind of a soil in
which he can plant his thoughts. Here
is what he says:
This book of mine, What Is Art"o'
appears now for the first time in its
true form. More than one edition has
already been issued in Russia, but in
each case it has been so mutilated by
the censor that / request all who are
interested in my views on art only to
judge of them by the work in its pres
ent shape. The spiritual censor" is
one Of the. most ignorant, venal, stupid
and despotic institutions in Russia.
Books which disagree in any way with
the recognized state religion of Russia,
if once it gets hold Of them, are almost
always totally suppressed and burnt;
which is what happened to all my re-
ligious works when attempts were made
to print them in Russia.
Continuing on the same subject the
disguised author tells the following a
little more in detail, story that seems
almost beyond the belief Of persons
reared under the Stars and Stripes:
Probably a similar fate would have
overtaken this work also, had not the
editors of the magazine employed all
means to save it. The result of their
efforts was that the spiritual censor"
priest who probably understands art,
and is interested in art as much as I
understand or am interested in church
services, but who gets a good salary
for destroying whatever is likely to
displease his superiors, struck out all
that seemed to him to endanger his po-
