TAXING FRANCHISES.

The New York legislature has passed
 and the governor has signed an amend
 ed bill providing a tax for franchises
 granted corporations The first bill on 1 the subject was found to be fatally de- fectiVe and an extra session was called to rectify it.
 There was a time when street fran chises were given to traction com
 panies as a measure of public import ance and for the purpose of providing
 proper communication when profits were not expected The same way with private gas and water companies. In course of time as the towns and cities grew, and when the companies
 that had been given free grant to use the streets were making handsome profits and speculating in stock, and when the expenses of city governments increased by the natural demands. it began to be considered right and proper that the use of the streets should be paid for In Philadelphia. for instance, the company which uses the streets for its car business was compelled to pave the thOrOughfareS It used, and today Philadelphia has more miles of fine street paving than any other city in the country
 The use of streets in the big cities by car, gas and water companies is now profitable; hence the natural demand that such companies shall pay for the privileges granted. There is no attempt in the New York law to encroach upon or harass any corporations, but simply to compel them to pay a proper rental for franchises that have become val uab.e. The old era has gone, in New York at least, when concerns that used the streets of the cities were favored 1 with free gifts and looked upon as philanthropic organizations

SENSE FROM BOX.

Edward Bok's feeling that without his guardian care feminine human na- ture may become wholly perverted makes him the subject of much merit ed mirth. But even MT. Box some times strikes a lead" Of sense. He suggests that women may be moved to some extent to slight or desert house. keeping and seek other employments by mems habit of depreciating wo- mems work and glorifying their own. Tt is this holding up the greater int portance of the work of thewor,d out side which has driven many an ambi- tiOus woman into that world to become part of it, and thus acquire a posi- tion of more apparent importance" MT. Box is willing to admit that wo- men are enough like men to desire mo- tice and admiration, which is undoubt- edly true. This being the case, until an eminent mother or an eminent housekeeper is as widely esteemed and admired as an eminent jurist or gen eral, we must expect women to leave housewCrk mere or less and seek posi- tions as typewriters and reporters- Kansas City Journal.

MIR. DooLEY AND DICKY DAVIS

MT. Richard Harding Davis and MT. Dunne of ''Dooley' fame met, accord ing to the New York Times, in the reception room of a well known New York publisher, just before MT Da- vis's wedding. They were introduced. Mir. Dunne is very fastidious in his dress. Mir. Davis is more so. At the proper time of day MT. Dunne wears a long frOck coat, silk hat, and "spats. g So does MT. Davis. They were thus arrayed when they met It is said that both were overwhelmed at the en- counter. MT. Davis was first to re- cover himself. He calculated: Good gracious, Mr. Dooley-I mean Mir. Dunnei l expected to see you wearing Galways.'

Arizona 16-to-oneFs may be inter ested in the following statement made to a Washington Post reporter by Col. Pat Lannon, the widely known man ager of the Salt Lake Tribune, who used to be 6 rabid free silver man My judgment is that the most ardent believers in free sil yer are forced to admit that the issue is about dead. The trend Of events since 1896 has forced it into oblivion, and however much we may adhere tc the white metal from principle, it has been elim- mated as a living factor in the politics of the day. The majority of the voters of Utah are still fer silver, but that does not blind the eyes of the candij men tC the truth. As for Col. Bryan. while many of us admire him and gave him our votes in '96, it must be said that his prestige is on the wane His correspondence with Perry Belmont caused great many paCple tc, form the opinion that his merits had been exaggerated. But no mltter whether the democrats name Bryan or some other man, Mckinley is going to sue ceed himself"

MUST KEEP BUYING.

The American Sugar Refining com pany was originally capitalized at $50,-
 900, ,000 In 1892 this sum was in- creased to $75 5,OOO 900, for the purpose of buying out competitors at Philadel- phia, Baltimore and in California The reported pan to take in new rivals calls for an increase of the capital to $150,000,O 900. The trust could buy all it's actual rivals for $10,000, 900, as it may have done in the case of the 1892 consolidation, and so some careful speculatcrs are asking what it is to flo with the rest of the. money that may be obtained from those who will prob ably be only too glad to take up the extra stock? Probably it will be working capital. But if the trust aims to acquire all powerful possible enc mics it will need most of the amount. The Glucose Sugar Refining company has S26. 0,000 in stock outstanding and the National Starch company is heavily capitalized. Those who invest in trust securities must always expect such calls for extra capital The world is net yet done with the old fashioned idea of competition in trade, and com binations have no course to pursue ex- cept the buying out of every powerful competitor.

FIRING BY SIGNAL.

We have heard a good deal about
 ''the man behind the gum in connec- | tlOn with our wars with Span and the Fil.pinos. Here is an extract from the
 report of General Macarthur which
 illustrates the rare proficiency at tained in the handling Of the big guns
 of the fleet:
 "On February 19 Admiral Dewey's courtesy made it possible to arrange a
 complete scheme Of firing by aid Of 1 signals, whereby points on; shore.
 whether visible from the ship or not, could be reached by the guns Of the navy when appropriate signals from shore were given. Caloocan church tower had lbeen successfully experi- mented with as a point for signalling to the navy. The system adopted re quired good map and an angle-meas- uring instrument. In this case use was made of the sextant, kindly loaned by the captain of the Monadnock By observation from ship the p0- sition of the ship is ac- cuI2tely determined on the map. and a north and south line drawn through it. Having selected the point which it is desired to strike on shore, the scale Of the map a5 once gives the range, and a small protractOr gives the bearing from north and south line Thus complete firing directions, either day or night, would be given by such a message as this from shore: Thirty eight degrees; six thousand two hun dred yards. This message was the one sent February 21, and the effect of the Monadnock's ten-inch shells on the village selected as the point, about one mile from in front of the Kansas was terribly impressive. Three other shots, varying from 5000 to 6,500 yards, were equally successful, thoroughly convincing all of the ef ficiency of this method of fire control"

A PORTRAIT OF DEWEY.
It Will Be the First One of Him Paint
 ed By an American Artist.

|. The state of Vermont is to be hon ored with the first portrait of Admiral Dewey painted by an American artist on American soil. Thomas W. Wood
 has received the commission and inn mediately after the admiral of the navy has been welcomed in the harbcr of New York he will pose for a pie ture, which, when finished, promises to remain in history as famous as that of Farragut on the Hartford. The artist is a fellow citizen of Admiral Dewey. Both were born in Montpelier, Vt The neighborliness of the families was such that when MT. Woods's reputa- tion as a portrait painter became es tabiished he was commissioned to paint a picture of Dr. Dewey, father of the admiral That was in October. 1885, and the painting is hanging today in the office Of Charles Dewey, the ad- miraPs brother. Thus it came about that MT. Wood suggested to himself the timeliness of putting on canvas the face of the man who won such a great victory and tod of it so unpretenti- cusly that he at once became the idol of the American people-New York Letter

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.

MT. AStCrS portrait expresses his character with unmistakable distinct Eess. It is face that speaks of meth cd and penetration and lucidity; of a reserved and meditative habit: of pa tient courage and masterfuI resolve; of forethought and suggestiveness and
 common sense-precisely the qualities
 expressed throughout his dispatches to his agents. He was Q man intense in
 actiCn, who early diviIsed the astute
 philosophy that the secret of success is concentration; that ingenuity often
 brings the improbable to pass; that amid the emergencies of this haphaz- ard world, the ultimate reliance, under Providence, is oneself; that whoever attempts great things without believ- ing in his own power to achieve. is cer- tain to fail. He was blessed with the excellent nervous system of one who has sprung fresh from the people, and abstemiousness and sobriety preserved
 to him a reserve Of staying power
 that sustained him through many troubles and scrrCws. He was wont to say jestingly that an ounce of practice is better than an ocean of theory, and professed the practical mans scorn of visionary experiments. None knew
 better how to make the utmost of cp- pOrtunity, or 10 adapt the means to the end. In a period of extraordinary financial expansion and development, and the floating Of prcmiscuous securi- ties and the promoting Of many doubt ful ventures, he was a man of infiex- ibie truth and probity He never asked advice, Believing his own ja5lg- mert to be as reliable as his neigh
 bOrs', and content to make his own mistakes rather than thsirs. Tn the midst of indefatigable industry, a vein Of sentimental sadness, Of which his
