It is amusing almost to righteousness

the more determined he seems to
become in his frantic efforts to control a

minority. GlassbOro Enterprise.
Mr.. Albeit, being number of the legis-
lature, representative of the people, has
introduced three bills. Nos. %, q and SO,
all looking to the taxation of corporations
on the same basis that Individuals are taxed
These bills have been smothered in com
mittee, and action on them is thus pre-
vented. Under the present State Constitu-
ton, such cowardly methods OF defeating
legislation asked for by the people is
possible. If these bills are not just and
equitable, if it is not desirable to tax cor
porate property as individuals are taxed,
why not defeat these bills on the floor of
the house and let the people know who are
their representatives and who the repre-
sentatives of corporations? Will the
Enterprise defend its cowardly majority.

Filipino Methods.
London, March 10 = The Daily
Graphic publishes this morning letter
from British naval officer in Manila
describing the beginning of the fighting
between the Americans and Filipinos,
which he says was due to an attempt
on the part of the latter to rush an
American post. THE British officers,
he continues, were not allowed TO land
until the day following the battle, and
were even then prohibited from going to
the front, but on the battlefield saw
Filipino prisoners burying heaps Of their
dead.
1T cannot for moment be doubted
that the Americans fought with gal
lantry and pluck, while the rebels, who
were armed with Mausers and Reming
tons, maintained stubborn defense.
Their dead bodies testify to this. 1t is
also clear that the FiIipinos were as
founded and demoralized by the Ameri-
can tactics and the vigorous pursuit the
Americans kept up throughout the day,
instead of following, as the F'ilipinos
expected, the Spanish custom of midday

Congressman Harry @. Londenslager
who is leading the insurrection against
General SeweIl for the control of the
Republican party ia New Jersey, was the
central figure in an argument before the
Court of Errors and Appeals yesterday. It
was the reopened case wherein the court
in March of last year. made decree for
$21 ,674 S8 against Loudenslager and in
favor of the Woodbury. Heights Land Com
pany. The decree was for profit made by
Loudenslager and DR.. J. B. Roe on land
which they bought and sod in Louden-
slageTs name to the land company, of
which they were both promoters and diIec-
tors. 1t is alleged that Roe got half the
profits, bat his name did not appear in the
transaction because at the time he was
financially embarrassed. When the case
was before the Court of Errors a year ago,
the question was as to the affirmation of
of Vice Chancellor Pitney's decision that
Loudenslager was responsible to the COM
pany for the whole amount, notwithstand-
ing that he had turned half the profits
over to Roe. The court voted seven to
affirm two to reverse and FIVE TO modify
and hold Loudenslager responsible only for
the half of the profits which he kept for
himself. OF the fourteen members of the
court who heard the case before, thirteen
sat in the reargument yesterday. Justice
Ludlow, the absentee, before voted to
reverse, SO that the court as it was consti-
tuted Yesterday, on basis of the former
vote, stand seven to affirm, one to reverse
and FIVE to modify.
The argument yesterday was made for
Loudenslager by Attorney General Gray
and for the land company by ex-Judge Pan
coast and Howard NJ. Cooper.
The Attorney General used the same
briefs as he used in the former argument
and the other side simply reiterated it's
contentsions when the case was previously
heard.
1t is not likely that decision will be
rendered until June term.
Trenton True American, Mar IL.
The final disposition of this case is
watched with interest by Iaymen as well as
the lawyers of the State, because of the
unique proposition that Loudenslager is
responsible only for the sum that he kept.

of its President, Gideon Marsh. William

in addition expended $4,000 in his efforts

personally, and was by him surrendered to
the Government Had this transaction
been between individuals, the amount of
the bail bond would have been returned at
once. But being with the Government
and the money paid into the Treasury, the
money can only be repaid through an &C
of Congress. A bill providing for such
repayment was on Feb. %. introduced by
Representative Young, of Philadelphia,

of passage. There should be no delay in
passing it at the next session.
