among purchasers that very many
quarter sections were bid down to ten
and five, and even two acres were taken
tor the delinquent taxes. This circum-
stance brought about such conditions
that when purchasers sent in drafts to
pay long lists of subsequent taxes on
quarter or half section, while their certi-
ficate covered only fraction of a quarter,
we deemed the demand so palpably un-
just that we could not comply, and the
drafts were returned to the owners.
Now, the fault is not so much with the
law, and it seems passing strange to
think that large majority of our law
making body is composed of farmers,
yet they will allow bill to become a
law that demands twenty-nine per cent
per annum on tax sale certificates and
tWenty-tour per cent per annum on sub
sequent taxes, while it is safe to say that
more than ninety-fve per cent of all tax
certificates are on farm lands. No per-
son would object to what might be term
ed a fair inducement to investors to place
their money in such securities, but no
amount of reasoning can justify the op-
presslve rates of penalty and interest
which the present law demands. And
let lis hope that before adjournment the
legislature will wipe out the oppressive
features of the present law.
Yours truly,

England and America.

1t is to be noted that many things
have happened in recent weeks to
show how strong is the growth of good
understanding between England and
America, The general American feel
ing that England ought to have avoid
ed war with the Transyaal is not ex-
pressed in a hostile spirit. The Eng
llsh delegates to the recent internat-
ional Congregational council at Bos-
ton brought expression of goodwill as
hearty as the welcome they had found
prepared for them. The Pan -Presby-
torian council at Washington offered a
similar opportunity for the exchange
of fraternal greetings between Eng
lishmen and Americans. There is no
danger that any one will overestimate
the value of these international church
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Metho-
dist and Baptist, as well as Presbyter-
ian and Congregational-in making
public opinion in one half of the Eng
disappearing world comprehensive
in the other half. Literature, also like
religion, furnishes a common bond;

England read mark Twain. The COM

Our Coming Revenue System.

The internal revenue returns
show that the Governments receipts
from that source are going beyond all
previous records. They are averaging
over million dollars for every busl-
ness day; they have reached $76,056,
1863 for the first three months of the
present fiscal year, and if they keep up
at the same rate they will exceed $780,
100000 for the year. This is more
than the Governments total income
from all forms of taxation few years
ago
This Is net a temporary phenomenon
1t Is net likely that the times when
the .aiif paid most of the expensee Of
the Government will ever come back
again. Az the country grows its de-
pendence on foreign goods becomes
continually less. We are exporting
now the manufactured articles we us
ed to import. And every substitution
of a Domestic product for an import
ed one means a decline in customs rev.
enue.
Meanwhile the capacity of the coun-
try for internal taxation Us continual

with the progress of industry and

There are mines of wealth in taxes on

millions that will probably be secured
from the Cornelius Vanderbilt estate

With skillful management it
would not be surprising to see the in
internal revenue taxes sufficient in a
few years to meet the entire expenses
of the Government. Whatever we
take in from customs duties will then
be a surplus, which we can devote,
first to clearing off the National debt,
and then to the acquisition of a pos

The ''t uirpl Dew-v and Mr..
Aree ga Philippines
The views Of tse president, Admiral
Dewey and Professor Schurman, chair
man of the peace commission, sent out
after the attempt Of the Malays to run
the American army into the sea, are in
perfect accord. The president declared
unqualfiedly the policy of the gov
ernment, when at Plttsburg he wei.
coined home from the seat of war the
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers. Ad-
miral Dewey said at Gibraltar of the
Philippines, that he would have little
| to say until the recommendations of
the peace commission, OF which he was
a member were laid before the presi-
| dent; and the admiral said of Mr.
Schurman that he was an able and
high minded man, whose intelligent
and conscientious devotion to the task
assigned him won his admiration; add
ing, I'VE were invariably in accord"
Professor Schurman says
at is the Tagalos inhabiting some
vi ln6 plONluCeS dDUuI MANILA VINO
are resisting the authorities of the
United States. Other civilized Fill
pinos are neutral, except where they
are coerced by armed bands of Tagalos,
who seized upon their governments
during the making and ratification of
our treaty of peace with Spain.
"The insurrection is not a national
uprising. Indeed, there is no Philip
pine nation.
"The United States having assumed
sovereignty over the archipelago be-

of peace and order, the administration
Of justice, the security of life and prop
erty among all the tribes of the archi-
pelago. This is an obligation which
intelligent Filipinos, not less than for
eign nations, expect us to fulfill. Nor
will the national honor permit us to
turn back"
Here is plainly the policy Of the gov
ernment, the harmonious opinions OF
the president, of the admiral and the
peace commissioner, and the truth of
history sustaining them Ia absolutely
clear.

is an important element in the promo
ton of mutual acquaintance and re-
spect, and thus the great series of
yacht races for the Americas cup must
be deemed an international matter of
moment by reason of its indirect in
fluence. Sir Thomas Upton, by his
tact and good temper, made himself so
popular, not merely among yachting
men at New York, but also in every
hamlet on the prairies, that his failure
to win the cup was almost as keenly
regretted throughout the United States
as it could have been in England.
This growth all along the line of good
understanding between the people Of
the United States and those of Great
Britain means no narrowing CT sym
pathy toward men who speak other
languages. On the contrary it must
help bring about that worldwide lift
ing CT the fog of mere tribal or nation
al prejudice that has been so great an
enemy to the progress of civilization.

Mclean snecrs at the Flag.

Those who labored to have the
American flag raised on every school
house in the country, we're deeply and
justifiably incensed at John McLean's
Insult hurled at them
1t will be remembered that certain
patriotic orders worked through the
legislatures to have law passed pro-
viding for an American flag for every
school.
Commenting on this in an editorial
in his Cincinnati Enquirer of Feb. g.,
1885, Mr.. Mclean made the following
unpatriotic declaration:
"At the instance of a 'mouthy' pa
patriot the Pennsylvania senate has
passed bill providing for an Ameri-
can flag on the schoolhouses in the
state, the staff to be made of American
wood and the flag Itself to be of Amer
ican bunting, manufactured from
American wool, grown by American
workmen.
There ought to be a general law
for the suppression of jawsmiths' in
the legislature"
This excellent measure was not in
spired by a 'mouthy" patriot or a
"jawsmith" who needs legislation to
suppress him. 1t was the outflow of
a patriotic heart who desired to see
a flag where every young scholar in
the land could see it, and be ever kept
in mind of its glorious principles and
achievements.
But Mr.. Mclean, now Democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, could
not appreciate such a spirit of patriot
ism.

The wage-earners of this country
are not yet ready to cut their wages
in two and give their employers one
half by accepting ascent dollars for
the work they do. They have Mr..
Bryan's own word for it that the work
ing classes in Mexico, where the free
coinage of silver prevails, can buy
only one half as much with their dol
lars as we buy with United States dol
lars.
Juoge Nash IS speaking rrom the
platform every day and openly dis
cusses every question that enters into
the campaign. John r. Mclean main
tains an absolute silence on his "prac-
ticaw remedy for the trust evil, as
well as on all the other issues. The
people of Ohio have right to know
just what Mclean proposes to do.
They demand that he fully explain
where he stands on silver, on trusts,
on the denomination of Bryan and on
all the other questions of the day.
They contrast his silence with the
fraEkIess Of Judge Nash in a way
that is not hattering.

Monday the Phillies play the Senators at

The Senators this year never fall down
easily. 1t is generally a dull, heavy thud
that takes them off their feet.

and was evidently suffering from the ter

fidence soon and do good work. Manager
Irwin thinks he is one of the best tWirlers
in the business.

something they have been doing all season.
The work of two umpires must be pretty
bad when both clubs are continually kick
Ing as the Senators and Phillies were do
ing yesterday. These arbitrators have yet
to receive commentator for their work
this season.
The Baltimores and Brooklyns get to-
gether today in the oyster city, and a great
contest is looked for. The Orioles led on
by McGraw and Robinson, will play their
prettiest to throw down the ex-Orioles, and
the Superbas will not be far away when
1t comes to playing the game to win.

COLLIFLoWER's COOP WORK.
He Was Well Supported and Eastern
A. c. Won Its Game,

The season of the District Amateur
League was opened yesterday at National
Park, the contesting clubs being the East
ern Athletics and the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, the former winning easily
by the score of 8 to f.
Notwithstanding the uncertain condition
of the weather, quite a large gathering was
in attendance, and showed great interest
in the work of the two teams, each of
which has large following. Many good
plays were made with the confidence of
veterans, and were literally applauded
From start to finish the Eastern Ath-
letic boys had the Bureaus on the run
owing principally TO the fine work on the
rubber of Collifiower, who was given al
most perfect support by the men back of
him. But seven hits were made by the
Bureaus, while Nicholson was hammered
almost at will by his opponents, fifteen hits
with a total of twenty bases being the
record against him. Nicholson's support
was not of the best, six misplays being
chalked up against his club.
Hughes, Collifiower and Moran led the
Easterns at the bat, each having three
bingles apiece. while Joe Kelley led the
hopeless cause of the Bureaus with three
bingles one triple and another a double
Had the other Bureaus followed Keliey's
example the game would have been much
more closer and interesting. The fielding
OF Manager and Nenible, at second and
short for the Easterns, was of the DASH
ing order, and several apparently safe
drives were killed off in the most approved
style. Proctor. at first for the Bureaus,
