The Burial Place of Ira Allen.
darlington Free PressN

Through letter from Col. Charles A.
Converse. we learn that while he and Mr..
Francis OlcOtt Allen have discovered in
what ground Gen. Ira Allen was buried,
they have not as yet located his grave.
He was buried, as it appears, in the
burial ground of the Free Quakers in
Philadelphia. The sect of Free Quakers
in that city is extinct, and its ancient
burial ground has long been in greatly
neglected condition. 1t is surrounded by
decaying habitations, is dumping place
for old shoes, tin cans and other rubbish,
Is overgrown with weeds, and has been
used as playground by the hoodlums
who have climbed in over the surround
ing walls. Time and the boys have made
havoc with the headstones. Mr.. Con-
verse writes: 81 have examined all the
headstones in the ground, and of the 40
that were legible or partially legible none
were Ira Aliens. Fifteen were illegible."
Mr.. Converse and Mr.. Allen are now
searching for the books of the treasurer
of the Free Quakers' association. and of
the undertaken who had charge of the
burials In 1914, hoping to find some re-
cord which may enable them to locate
the grave. If they fail to find any burial
record, they will have the ground shear
ed to detect stones which have sunk be-
meath the surface or been covered by the
accumulations of seventy or eighty years.
1--WE will keep at it," says Mr.. Converse,
land do our utmost to locate the grave
and find the remains. Mr.. Allen is pur-
suing the search very intelligently, and
is indefatigable."
Should the remains of Ira Allen be
found, the state of Vermont will no
doubt be glad to make some tardy repair
alton for the neglect and shortcomings
of our ancestors by bringing the remains
of Ira Allen to Vermont, and giving them
a final and hOnored resting place by the
side of his brother, Ethan Allen, in the
Green Mountain cemetery, which over
looks the site of Ira Aliens old home.
If the grave is not now located it never
will be.

AN OBNOXIOUS MEASURE.

House bill 40l, entitled IAN Act to Es-
tablish a State Board of Taxation with
Power to Contract with Non-Residents,"
is an attempt to get wealthy people from
other states to put their residence in
Vermont, by offering to relieve them
largely from taxation. The bill is es-
sentlally Infamous in its character, being
in the nature of straight bid to tempt
people to avoid paying, and to assist
them to avoid paying, Just taxation. Any
possible result of such an attempt must
be disastrous. Being badly led, the
bill has passed the house, but we do not
believe it will the senate, which is more
conversant with such matters.
The bill has been criticised as it de-
serves all over the country. The Boston
Transcript, edited by Vermonter, is
especially severe. The Boston Herald
refers to it with its usual candor as
follows:
The attempt of the governor of Vermont to
induce New York millionaires to come into
his state to be taxed, if canny, is question.
action on his part. The burden of his bill,
which the legislature of Vermont is reported
to be eager to adopt, is to make bargain
with rich men to come into the state, and es-
tablish residence by stpulating that they
shall not be taxed hey ond a certain amount
for period of thirty years. There is clearly
implied in this that the rate of taxation shall
be low; indeed, here is the temptation to
them to transfer their residence. 1t is pretty
poor business in state to engage in such an
operation, and it has very much the appear.
ance of Offering premium to men of wealth
to evade just taxation. The closing with the
bargain will be not altogether creditable to
the parties who may comply with this offer,
but there will be more charity for them than
for the governor who proposes it and the
state that puts it into legislation. The fact
that the residence thus INVOKED is expected
to be no more than nominal is not sufficiently
yelled to be hidden The offer is open to all
comers but it appears to be chiefly address
ed to the New York market.
Since the above was written we learn
the senate has wisely killed the bill.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1898.

We call attention to the address issued
by the Anti-Imperialist League, printed
upon the third page. The arguments
against any permanent occupancy of the
Philippines by the United States would
appear to be unanswerable. We cannot
afford to sacrifice the life and spirit of
our institutions for any possible advan-
tage of territory. New England GER
tainly will be sound upon question of
this character. She believes in American
institutions, and will stand by them to
the end. There is no possible question
about this, and our public men would
better govern themselves accordingly.
If they do not they will get left.

A Wedding Song.

MIR. EDITOR: The following "song''
came into my possession recently from
a relative, whose grandfather sang the
same at weddings over one hundred
years ago Being such a quaint pro-
duction, send you the following copy.
MRS. JAMES S. COLE.
When Adam was created he dwelt in Edens
shade,
As Moses has related, before a bride was
made.
Ten thousand times ten thousand creatures
swarmed around
Before a maid was formed or e'er a bride was
found
He had no conversation, he seemed like one
alone,
But to his CONSERVATION he found he'd lost a
bone.
Great was his exultaton when first he saw
his bride
Great was his animation when he saw her by
his side.
He spoke as in a rapture al know from
whence You came;
From my right side extracted, and "Woman'
is your name"
There seems to be reason man should love
his bride,
For Il part of her own body is product from
his side.
The woman was not taken from Adams head
you know;
She should not be his ruler, it is evidently So
The woman was not taken from Adams feet
you see;
SO he must not abuse her, the meaning seem:
to be.
The woman she was taken from under AID
ans arm,
That he should protect her from injury OF
harm.
The woman she was taken from next to AID
ANS heart;
That seems to be the reason that they should
never part.

\ Little Confusing.
The Manchester On. H. Union thus
comments upon present conditions of
politics;
1t is rather difficult keeping ones
bearing in these times. Here we have
the Republican protection policy of tax
ing sugar and tobacco to give our pro-
ducers such a firm foothold that they can
raise at home all that we can consume,
and then the Republican policy of annex
ing Hawaii and Cuba, where these pro-
ducts are chiefly raised, bringing them in
to direct competition with American pro-
ducers and in way that can never be re-
stricted. The st. Louis platform "cOn-
demued' the Cleveland administration
"for not keeping faith with the sugar
producers of this country and added
"the Republican party favors such pro-
lection as will lead to the pToduc-
ton on American soil of all sugar
which the American people use and for
which they pay other countries more
than Sl00,0Q0,000 annually" Before the
last Cuban war for independence began.
we imported in 1891 over SG5,0C0,000
worth of cane sugar from Cubaand Porto
Rico alone, and about Sl0000.00O the
y
has or is about to bring these plantations
into direct and equal competition with the
American planter.
And so the Republican policy as to
what people shall take part in the dlrec-
ton of this government is confusing.
The president has urged more restrlc-
tive immigration laws and is about to
renew his recommendations to that end.
In his last message to congress, he said
"Our naturalization and immigration
laws should be further improved to the
constant promotion of safer, better
and higher citizenship. A grave peril
to the republic would be a citizenship
too ignorant to understand or too vic
ious to appreciate the great value and
beneficence of our institutions and
laws"
The gates must be tightly closed to
all who are "toO ignorant to understand
or too vicious to appreciate the great
value and beneficence of our institutions
and laws" and yet he is deliberately
and resolutely turning the results of a
war waged for humanity purely into
one for conquest chiefly. He is reach
ing out widely for those 100000 or TO-.
600, 900 savage Filipinos who are for the
most part "too ignorant to understand
or "tOo vicious to appreciated our institu-
tons or laws. He renews his recon-.
mendation that the gates be closed
more tightly, while endeavoriLg to
bring these millions within the fence
where they stand on equal footing with
our most intelligent citizens under a
constitution that provides that all per
sons born or naturalized in the United
States and subject to its jurisdiction shall
be citizens Cf the United States and of
the several states, and that the rights OF
none shall be abridged on account OF
race, color or previous condition Of serv-
itude.

says:
The power of congress is undoubted to deal

for constructive craftsmanship such as never
occurred in the whole history OF our national

ercise of the power would be unfortunate
and perhaps fatal. Common sense prescribes
extreme deliberation of movement on the

That is emphatically so. The Sun
might have added that 1t Is also well to
go slow in providing for the future of

ONE RIDE TO OLD OCEAN.
Electric Cars Soon to Run From the
 Ferry to the Cliff House.

The last steel rail for the new electric car line of the Market Street Railway Sys- tenn, connecting the ferries and Fourth and Townsend streets with the Cliff House, was laid yesterday, and within the next ten days or two weeks the manage ment hopes to have cars running to the ocean beach.
 The railroad company has been delayed in changing from steam to an electric road that part of the line from Tenth to Fourteenth avenue on Haight street, as the city is putting in a six-foot sewer. Beyond this point to the ocean terminus 8 double track of sixty-five-pound st ,el rails is already laid, the track partly ballasted and in excellent condition. As soon as thc sewer is laid a second track will be con- tinued to Stanyan street, where one track already connects with the down town car line Over 1s0 workmen are employed in the reconstruction. The work Is being done under the supervision of Superin- tendent of Construction H. H. Lynch and General Foreman Thomas Eagan. who have rushed it along in a most creditable manner.
 The five new stations, made from the old waiting room at the Haight street en- trance to Golden Gate Park, are all in their new locations along the line and has an individual name. The first sta tion after passing the Iaight street en- trance. to the park is at Fourteenth ave- the f0ot Of H na is station, at Twenty fourth avenue, is Lit tie Lake;" the third, at Fortieth avenue, is "Chain of Lahes;'' the fourth. at the curve near the ocean beach, Is "Observa- tory,' and the fifth. at the south side Of the tunnel and close to the United States Life Saving Station, is Boulevard" These stations will be regular stopping places for all who wish to get off or on.
 For the purpose of handling the heavy Sunday traffic to the Cliff House and ocean beach three of the heavy observa- ton cars formerly in use are being fitted up with powerful electric motors, and will be used to haul three or four trailers, as the traffic may require. It is expected that the time from the ferries to the ocean will be made in forty-five minutes. There will be no cinders with the electric line

EXAMINER STEALING.
It Palned off a Map of the KlOndike as It's Own and Is
 Sued for the Theft

Since the Examiner, after a notable ex- posture, quit stealing copies of The Call from The Calls press rooms for the pur- pose Of cribbing the news, it has satisfied it's predatory instincts by stealing the news in other ways and from other sources. Latterly it has appeased it's pi- ratical instincts by pirating maps of the Klondike diggings and the approaches thereto. Yesterday A. l.. Mcdonald of the publishing firm of A. l.. Mcdonald & Go. began suit in the United States Dis trct Court against w. R. Hearst of New York and elsewhere to recover $S2, ,729, as damages for infringement on a copyright held by the plaintiff.
 The complaint is terse and comprehen- sive. It recites that the plaintiff has brought the action for the Government as well as for himself, the damages being equally divided between the Government and himself.
 The allegation is made that the plaintiff obtained a copyright for a map of the Yukon gold belt, and that the defendant, through his agents, reproduced and pi-
