ton especially, The desire is that
both the 0. r. & N, and the

In the state of Vermont the tax
alton of manufacturing enterprises
has become a public issue. A
measure supported by the govern
or, passed one branch Of the legis-
latute last week, fixing nominal
uniform tax for new manufacture
in establishments for a period Of
thirty years. Municipal taxes are
a menace to enterprises involving
large Investments. The demands
OF city governments throughout
the country have been rapidly in
creasing for a few years past 50
that city taxes arc IN important
consideration. If an equit2 bic
system Ct exemptions in CONFORM
ity with the constitution could be
provided, manufacturing in the
west would be materially encour-
aged thereby Even in Lewiston

ing Of mills If the lesson of
Vermont could be invoked for To-
cal considerations the exemption
would Invite capital. II is not
probable that state could exempt
one class Of property, but the city
could and school Districts could re,
organize their boundaries to ex-
cept manufacturing establishments

The markets. The marketing of
the lumber will develop richer re-
sources that will be Of permanent
value to the state. The very lands
upon which the timber stand, will
be of as much value to the state
when railroads are extended to
them as the timber will be after 20
years Of waiting without these
facilities. 1t is surely due from
the legislative and the executive
that this great state resource be
developed at the earliest possible
date. The manufacture of this
lumber will build cities and towns
that will be permanent. The
manufacture of the timber will
bring a big working population
that will clear the land and dig the
minerals from our mountains
This lumber is the available means
tor our immediate development
and it devolves upon the authori-
ties to start the ball rolling.

liz perialism is not consistent
with constitutional liberty. 1t is
not the theory of present day ex-
pausionists to assume any degree
Of III astery in a personal sense over
the people Of the new possessions
We made war upon Spain in the
interest of humanity. We gained
these possessions in the further
ancc Of reform theories of govern
ment. The work Of reform is only
begun when we revived the Gu
bans and the PHILIPPINES from
Spanish tyranny. We must save
the barbarians from themselves,
give them a civilized government
before our efforts for human rights
have borne fruit. These countries
without wise guidance would suf-
fer political commissions more
disastrous than Spanish tyranny
The cause of humanity demands
a civilized government for these
new possessions.
1t would not be Imperialism TO
dictate their government. We hold
Our republicanism as sacred as
Holy Writ. 1t would be duty and
not Imperialism for us to demand
a republican government In fact
it is a sacred duty OF every Ameri-
can patriot to promulgate republi-
can doctrines. 1t is our duty to
dem md civilization aud civilized
government of these savages as we
demand compliance with our laws
from the American Indians in our
midst. We should enforce our
laws in our conquered territories
oft ii the seas as we enforce them
amoug the native Indians-enforce
them III the name of humanity be-
cause with the true patriots our
epublicauism is divine. We
should enforce our laws, not as
irnp,rialists, but in the name of
civilization as patriotic reformers.
We are called upon to civilize
these people, to give them gov
eminent, and we cannot fer
moment consider any other form of
government equal to Our own If
we were to consider the proposition
OF permitting these people to lapse
back into hcathendOm what could
have been the inspiration that
called patriotic defenders of human
rights to the field in their INTEREST,"
The tyranny of Spain was not
worse than barbarism
The hope Of Webster, Jefferson
and Benton has been forced upon
the United States government.
They were all expausiouists in the
interests of civilization and the ex-
tension of our commerce.

bered by every theatergOer. John and
sydney Drew are her uncles. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Drew, the elder, were prom
inent in forming the American stage
while the stage was in its infancy, and
the young woman has in her disposition
the making of as fine an actress as ever
graced the boards.
The young bridegroom elect is play
wright and his father is now appearing
in a play written by him. Laurence has
been upon the stage and still appears.
Ethel Barrymore, on the other hand,
though Very young, is at home upon the
stage. Like her brother Lionel. she acts
as though she had trod the boards for
years. Her stage presence is fine and
her voice and manner pretty. Sir Henry
Irving long ago selected her as one of
his best young actresses, and she gave
up an American engagement to play in
his company.
Henry Irving seldom visits this coun-
try. He dislikes the sea voyage, and
the queen dislikes to have her best
actor leave England. He is one of the
oldest actors in England. In point of
years he is exactly sixty years old, but
on the stage his step is as light and he
is as youthful as ten years ago. Jo-
seph Jefferson. in this country, is a
''veteran." though only nine years older
than Sir Henry.
Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry
do not reside in the same part of Lon
don. Miss Terry loves to steal away
to q suburb, where she has lovely
home.
Sir Henry Irving's future is pretty
we'll settled. lie will live on as long as
Providence ordains, growing in years
and honors.
And SO is the future of the pretty
American girl who has cast her for
tunes in with this house. If she de-
cides to remain upon the stage she is
sure Of stage triumphs in stageland
prepared for her. If she elects to go
into private life she can count upon
social prestige as the wife of Laurence
Irving or Lawrence Brodribb.

The dog wagged it's bushy tail, shook

They hurried through the noseless
streets and turned toward the cemetery
on the hillside.
1t was dark, but Fatima did not need
light to find Malakhia's grave. 1t had
been her daily pilgrimage since they
had laid him away. She knelt on the
cold earth and grasped the rude head
stone with both hands. First she

but her tender feeling, quickly left the

Justices and Constables

The general opinion seems to be that
the powers of justices of the peace and
constables should be greatly curtailed
We think this is true in a measure. The
powers given constables by the va
grancy law-that infamous blot on the
statute book-should all be done away
with in fact, we see no good reason why
constables should be empowered to
make arrests at all. There are sherffs
and under-sheriffs enough to serve all
warrants. The constables might well
be limited to serving papers in civil suits
in the justices courts, and we are in
clined to think that one to each court is
an ample supply. AS it is, what with
constables and deputy constables, the
country fairly swarms with petty Off
cials who are ever on the lookout for
any miserable excuse to arrest a poor
devil or to stir up trifling litigation. if
thereby q fee may be earned. Con-
stables are necessary and there are good
constables, of course. But it Is quite pos j.
sible to have too much of good thing
