bling, no depression Of spirits, only de-
support, although. while they did not
know it, there was ECne to give them.
All the infantry and cavalry were OH
tho front line and the only help to lie
looked for was the coming Of Lawton
down the FL Caney road to threaten the
Spaniards on the unprotected side OF
Santiago. A
Lawton moved up, it's true, but not
until after midnight and then unseen by
the Spaniards, until he reached their
pickets, about 900 yards from the right
of tho cavalry line OH the crest, as be-
fore stated. There he halted, and sent
back to Shafter for renewal Of orders.
Calls for support for the troops in.
trenched ON the San Juan ridge had, of
course. reached Shafter at various times
during the afternoon and evening of the
LIST, and he told Lawton that as things
stood the quickest way to get in position
in aid of Wheeler's line was to counter
march to the crossroads southwest of Ell
Caney and come back to Ell Poso, thence
to San Juan ridge.
Nothing definite has yet been made
known as to the strength Of the Span
iards on San Juan ridge. The garrison
Of Santiago is placed at 10000 before
the much talked of Pando's column
reached there. 1t would have been pos.
sible to have sent half the garrison or
more from the main trenches to San
Juan ridge after it was apparent that
the Americans were to attack there in
force. Why 1t was not done only the
Spanish generals can explain. A French
officer in the Spanish service tod one Of
his countrymen In the Third cavalry
that the SpaniaIds were amazed at the
persistency Of the Americans in push
ing forward against San Juan ridge in
the face Of the pitiless fire which was
poured at them at the crossing and
while ascending the slopes. He also said
that when the Spanish troops were
driven over the crest of the ridge the
men In their second line had to hold
their Ere for fear of killing friends, and
that that resulted in demoralizing them
quite'as much az those driven out Of the
front trenches were demoralized by be-
ing compelled TO beat retreat; hence
there could be no attempt at coun-

CITY HALL POLITICS.

i IL tell you how We will break kieter S
back said a prominent Republican poll
tcfan last evening, who has been loud in
his denunciation of the present admins
tration 1.-THE Thirteenth regiment is
coming home soon and Maj. Bean will be
at the top of the heap and practically
in command of the returning heroes. We
will nominate Bean for mayor, Capt.
Bjornstad for city treasurer and NlcCardy
or Dix for comptroller, and that will put
Kiefer out of it. Will it win? Why, you
can't beat it,. and it viii give every Re
publican an opportunity to throw the har
pooh into the. Kieferverein without wait
ing for the polls to OPEN
There is an apparent apathy among the
candidates for mayor on the Democratic
ticket. There is talk of DR.. e. II Whit
comb and the younger element of the
party, it is claimed, will be unit for his
candidacy. Some of the old timers have
an idea that Robert a. Smith would be
about the best nomination that could b
made, on the ground that the people
know what kind of an administration
Smith would give them and it is Just
what the city needs. The friends of Dr.
Rudolph Sehiffmann who. with a divided
vote, last year made such gallant race,
favor his being given a denomination. The
record made by the present adminiStra-
ton, however. has been such a failure
that almost any candidate nominated by
the Democrats is certain of an election
There Is no doubt" said a prominent
business man as he came out of the city
hall yesterday afternoon, that at the
next election the people of this city will
make a clean sweep of the present crowd
of city officials from the mayor down.
For many years the people and the news
papers have been bowling about bust
ness administration, and the record made
in the past year shows that we have had
purely Business administration, and it
has been pretty small business at that
l don't care what department You pick
out. the principle adopted. has been the
same. From the mayor S office to the
pOundmaster' affairs have been conduct
ed on business principles, or, rather, pay
for what you get, and If you don't pay
you don't get anything. In some of the
departments the smell has become so
strong that it can no longer be smoth-
cred and the people are awakening to the
fact that what was claimed to be q bust
ness administration has been too much
of business deal for the best interests
of the taxpayers. 1t will not be a ques-
ton of politics at the next city election,
but it will be a case of making a clean
sweep of the entire crowd of so-called
statesmen who are now conducting the
affairs of the city"

A DANGEROUS COURSE.

The general dissatisfaction which pre-
ton of the board CT equalization in max
ing serious increases in the personal
property of business establishments sub
ject to taxation is d very instructive fact
It's significance extends much farther than
its mere personal aspect. 1t emphasizes,
in the first place, the utterly chaotic con-
dition in which our taxation laws are,
especially those relating to the taxation
of personally. 1t brings cut, too, in a
very strong light the unwisdom of the
taxing authority in placing its burdens
upon the employing and producing bust
ness interests Of the community.
The chaotic and contradictory condi-
lions pertaining to personal taxation are
not peculiar to any locality. Nowhere in
the United States is there an approach
to uniformity in the imposition of taxes
on personal property Nor, indeed, can it
be said that all the discussion of the vex-
ed problem has been followed or is likely
to be followed, within any reasonable
time, by any good result short of showing
that the whole system is radically and
inherently bad
There is one principle of action which
any given community, it appears to us.
should lay down for its guidance in the
imposition of personal taxes and that
is to make its burdens as light as is
az all possible on its business interests
Such a principle is generally followed. St.
Paul cannot offer an exception in practice
to the principle unless it is ready to suf-
fer the consequences The location of a
given business enterprise is no longer, as
it once was. a matter of supreme concern
to the interest involved. There is not a
large business interest in this city at
this moment that might not be located
in any of the surrounding cities at least
without any overpowering disadvantages
The community that offers to its business
interests the surest immunity from I'M
reasonable burdens of taxation, or, in
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-11

deed, from burdens in any direction, is
most certain to secure within its terri
tory the largest proportion of such in
terests. 1t requires but very small mar
gin in such matters to make a very ma
terial difference to the interests con-
cerned.
Our taxing officials should go very slow
in the general direction outlined by the
recent attitude of the board of equaliza-
ton unless they are willing to assume
the risk of working serious results to the
business life of the community. Our
business houses cannot be treated with
unnecessary harshness without grave re-
suits following which will be anything
but beneficial to the community. 1t is
neither fair nor decent to try to place
business establishments in the position of
seeking to avoid payment of their just
public dues. This is the meaning of such
an attitude as it is assumed in materially
increasing the taxes on the personally of
our business houses. The heads of such
establishments may well be assumed to
know what they ought to be made to
bear in justice to themselves and the
community; and their voice should be
heard and seriously listened to in this
behalf by public authority
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-11

building. A market so located would UNI
doubtedly be generally resorted to by the
people of the various localities. With
the exception of the extreme east side
OF the city, it is quite central; and even
with reference to that section it is quite
accessible through the medium of street
cars
There is but one objection to that loca-
ton which now occurs to the GIob e,
and that is the figures already quoted at
which the property may be made avail
able to the city. These figures are quite
high, actually and relatively. It is under
stood that the Christ Church corporation
is willing to place the property at the
disposal of the city, the price not as yet
being stated.
If the city can possess itself of the
block mentioned at figure fairly approx
mating that set for others perhaps less
acceptable, so as not to impose too seri-
Gus a burden on the taX-paying public,
the project, it seems to us, ought to be
seriously considered While it is highly
desirable to secure the best and most
available site for a market, the coun-
Gil should hesitate long before agreeing
to pay any sum which involves six figures
for any market site whatever.
