A TROPICAL RATION.

Major Surgeon Louis l.. Seaman Of
valuable commentaries in the Century
on the army food ration in the tro-
pics. While he confines himself to the
army ration, what ne says has great
value in estimating the food ration of
the white men who live in the tropics
The wide spread, if not alarming in
CREASE of the nervous brigade in
these Islands ought to compel thor
ough investigation of the proper by
gienic conditions for our daily life.
The doctors could tell us what to do,
if they choose to, but they, like the
lawyers, and the merchants, and the
druggists cannot afford ito give away
their business" So the laymen must
work out their own salvation.
DR.. Seaman says the regiment on
arriving at Porto Rico August 10th
numbered 1144, and were in remark
ably fine physical condition. Every
effort was made to keep the men in
the best condition. No criticism, after
the regiment returned could be made
on any of the sanitary arrangements,
because every good and practicable
suggestion had been followed. Medi-
cal supplies were in abundance. Yet, >
says DR. Seaman, hundreds of cases
of serious forms of gastro-intestinal
catarrh and fevers rapidly developed.
With few exceptions the entire force
suffered from some form of intestinal
catarrh within a week after arrival,
due either to change of water or slight
colds resulting from sleeping on the
wet ground, or eating fruit"
The army ration was mainly fatty
bacon, salt beef, canned tomatoes.
The men grew weak under this ration,
and lost the power of fighting dis
ease.
Whenever, however, the men were
placed upon a rice and milk diet, they
began to improve The records of the
hospitals show conclusively the value
of the milk ration. IF the troops had
been fed upon this simple ration,
largely made up Of carbohydrates, as
soon as they entered the tropics, there
would have been, in DR.. Seaman S
oninion, no decrease in their physical
condition.

UNEVEN TAXATION.

One OF the singular economic enOr-
Tnities Of the times, is the unequal tax
alton OF property. The unequal and
unjust system of taxation prevailing
here, although well known, excites no
deep public interest, because such tax
alton usually fixes itself upon those
who are not able to resent the i'm
position. On the whole, however, prop
erty owners are conscious that few
persons really pay the amount Of tax
which an equal distribution Of the
burden requires, and therefore prefer
to let the matter alone.
The Comptroller OF the State of New
York says, in his annual report that
only 3 per cent. of the personal prop
erty domiciled in the State is now SUBJ
ject to tax. Why there should be such
an unjust, absurd, and illegal system
OF taxation in a democracy, or gov
eminent of the people by the people"
is one Of the strange incongruities of
democratic rule. After all the shout
ing for freedom and liberty, and the
rights of man, the people of the great
State of New York, and Massachusetts,
as well, throw a great part of the
burdens of supporting the government
upon the owners of land. The gov
ernOr OF Massachusetts think that re-
formation of the system is at pres
ent hopeless. 1t was believed at one
time that the tax on legacies and in
heritances would reach personal prop
erty. 1t does to some extent, but the
good citizens instead of leaving their
estates to be divided after death, are
beating" the State by distributing
them before death
There is no moral sentiment in the
American communities in favor of
paying taxes. Taxation with represen-
tation is a doctrine admitted by every
one. But the waste of public moneys
by the Legislature, and the practical
rule of the Bosses gives every person
who wishes to do so, abundant reasons
for beating the State out of its dues.
Moreover, the condition is such that
confiscation of income would follow,
if the law was partially enforced. In
the Union Trust Company of the city
of New York lies the sum of 81 900 600
belonging to an estate which is in
volved in litigation. For ten years the
annual interest allowed on that sum
by the Trust Company has been 21a
per cent while the taxes upon it have
been 2 per cent, and in certain years
more than that rate. AS the safest
rate of interest is four per cent, it is
clear enough that the owner of a mill
lion of dollars in safe securities will
only receive $4,000 annually from it,
If he makes an honest return to the
State of his property
The inequalities and burdens of tax
alton in the most despotic States are
not more grievous than they are in
some democratic states.
