$40, 900, 600 is likely. and It may rise TO

AS such, 1t may be legitimately paid from the

Another plan provides for the buying
in of the property at tax sale by the
city itself. TIL. objection to this is that
it would not only load the city up with
a lot of dead real estate, but by taking
1t out of the taxable list would increase
the burden upon other property.
Still another plan contcmplates the
sale at auction of all property on which
taxes are delinquent for Il designated
number of years with authority to give
the purchaser an indefeasible title. The
loss, if any, to the city would then have
to be charged off on the treasury books
and deducted from the amounts against
which warrants could be drawn for the
ensuing year. This plan appears to be
practicable, although objections not now
foreseen may possibly be urged against
1t.
Whatever solution is accepted 1t should
be pushed by the necessary legislation
at once, always guarding of course
against the danger of creating an in
ccntive to tax Sinking among those who
might see in it IA chance to profit by he
ultimate scaling down of the tax liens.

The man responded in such an insolent and

A P~ERPLEXING PROBLEM.

Before the legislature completes its
work it should adopt some measure that
will assist in solving the perplexing
problem presented in every city in the
state where delinquent taxes have piled
up on unimproved real estate TO an
amount exceeding the sum the property
would bring at public sale.
While these cases are few compared
with those in which taxes are paid with
reasonable promptneSs, the accumula-
ton of charges against deprecated real
estate which will not pay them because
it annOt becomes more serious from
year to year. In the interval warrants
are drawn against the entire tax levy
to the 90 per cent limit in utter disre-
gard of the fact that IA portion of the
reyenue will never be collected and the
floating indebtedness of the city is thus
constantly enlarged.
A number of plans have been proposed
to relieve the situation. One Is to au-
thorlze the council to compromise taxes
delinquent a certain length of time that
exceed in aggregate the assessed valua'
ton. 1t is doubtful, however, whether

LESSON FROM FORMOSA.
Natives Fight to the Death Against
Foreign Aggression.

cleveland flfln bedleI'
The nearest neighbor to the Philippines
on the north is the Island of ormos AS
we have, or are to, COM into possession OF
the Philippines by virtue Of the treaty with
Spain, Formosa affairs are not without In
terest to us.
Formcsa was coded to Japan by China as
part of the indemnity exacted by the VIC
tor at the end of the war, just as the Phil
ippines were coded to the United States by
Spain. Neither China nor Spain wanted to
yield its island possessions, but each had to
make the cession.
The parallel goes further. The Formosans
objected to being turned over to Japan,
Just as the Filipinos dispute the right of
Spain to trade them off to a foreign power.
The Formosans took up arms against the
Invaders" just as the misguided Filipinos
have done.
1t is now nearly four years since China
turned over Formosa to Japan, and from
that time to this fighting has been going on
with varying success. The last news re-
ceived Is to the effect that the rebels are
gaining in strength and that many citiee
are being looted. A desperate fight occurred
Just before the last reports We're sent in

NO REPUBLICAN DEFICITS.
Extravaganza Dangerous to the Coun-
try and the Party.

try and the Party.
Philadelphia Press (rep.).
Chairman Cannon of the house appropria-
lions committee has taken a position on APP
propriations and expenditures for the next
fiscal year which will be approved by his own
party and by the entire country without dis
~tinctlon of party.
Deficits in peace and for peace expendi-
ture must stop. With the war over, this
country must be brought to a cash basis
Revenue must be made equal to expenditure
or expenditure must be reduced to the level
of revenue. One or the other must be done.
No project and no Improvement Is worth a
deficit. If any national need is great enough
as the Nicaragua canal is-to justify the
issue of bonds for it's cost, this should be
provided in the measure making the appro-
priation; but no bill, however meritorious,
should rush the country into expenditures
which increase the war deficit already GER
tain for the coming fiscal year.
Speaker Reed will have the cordial support
and approval of the country II he Is EN-
phatlc and efficient in enforcing this policy.
Next year is a presidential election. Neither
extravaganza nor deficit will be approved by
voters. They believe in meeting national
needs, but they believe also in meeting them
from the national revenue. Nothing could
be more dangerous to the republican party,
because in the end nothing will be more
dangerous to the country, than the passage
in the next four weeks of measures taking
millions out of the treasury in excess OF the
national revenues,
The war has made some deficit certain In
the next fiscal year. Even with the army
reduced and the treasury mi inquired

CHANGE OF o

the achievements of War.

the Achievements of War.
Detroit Free Press.
At the beginning of our war for humanity
and liberty there was a united country be-
hind the president and the administration.
In taking up the sacriicial task of correct
ing the intolerable conditions in Cuba there
was indeed no party and no section In this
nation, it being explicitly declared that the
war was not to be one of conquest or terri
torial aggression. The termination of an ex-
terminating warfare in Cuba and the expul-
sion of the oppressors of the islanders was
the unselfish and exalted mission of the gov
eminent that inspired unanimity OF opinion
and sentiment In congress-, unanimity in
political parties, unanimity in the press of the
country. Taking up arms on the declaration
of congress that territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
was not contemplated and upon the declara-
ton of the president that forcible annexa-
ton under our code of morals would be a
crime, the country addressed itself to its
sublime mission, feeling that its course was
approved of God and the nations of the
earth. So long as the president and his
counselors adhered to the professions of
humane and unselfsh purpose their hands
were upheld in the discharge of heavy re-
sponsibilities by an undivided people.
Why is there division and why is there
dissent today? Consider the situation. In the
Philippines in the light of the noble re-
selves and high purposes of a year ago and
the answer is so plain that he who runs
may read.
From the humane program laid down with
respect to Cuba the administration mas
passed to a policy of conquest and aggression
In the Philippines. From the sacrificial duty
of chastising the nation that was meeting
the prayers of the Cubans for liberty with
bullets the administration has become the
relentless disciplinarlan OF the liberty-seek-
ing natives of Lu2on who have rebelled
against the forcible assertion of American
authority over them after their century-long
desire and struggle for independence. From
desiring the pacihcation of Cuba the country
has passed, through the course of those In
authority, to the role of aggressor against
the dusky islanders in the Philippines
From maintaining order in Cuba through the
promise of ultimate independence the ad-
ministration shifts to the assumption of the
responsibility for bloodshed in the Philip
pines through its refusal to offer the liberty
seekers the realization of their desires In
due time.
Herein lie the explanations of the opposi-
tion to the administrations unexpected and
disappointing use Oh the aChleNeHlehts vi
war. 1t is an opposition that Will grow
with every passing day, as the enormity AND
ghastliness of the burdens and responsible
ties imposed by a policy of armed annexation
and subjugation become more and more pain'
fully understood. Finally it will remain fol
the people to say whether the United States
must renounee its dearest traditions and Its
enviable policy of domestic tranquility and
progress for the imperial leap into the broils
the burdens and the bloodletting of Asiatic
annexation.

BANK

An excellent proof of growing bust
ness activity is afforded by the applica-
lions for national bank charters. Be-
tween January 1, 1893, and January /,
1898, the number of national banks was
reduced through consolidation, but since
the latter date there has been an in
crease, though very small. The promise
is that in 1890 there will be a larger adj
dition to the list of national banks than
for any year since 1893. Since October
81 Of last year there have been approved
by the comptroller of the currency
twenty-seyen applications for new ma
tiona banks, or at the rate of more than
seven per month. If this rate is main
tanned during the year, as is likely to be
the case, the new interpretations will be
between eighty and ninety, n number
larger than in any year since 1893, when
the interpretations We're 10. 1t Is not
unlikely that this conservative estimate
will be exceeded and that perhaps 100
or more new applications Will be APP
proved and banks organized.
1t is said that bank consultations are
being planned in some of the larger
cities, but while this has heretofore in
dicated unsatisfactory business, as was
the case during the period of depres-
sion, there is no doubt that the banking
interest of The country as a whole is

San Francisco Chronicle.

There is a good deal Of nonsensical talk
about humanity requiring us to keep possess
sion Of the Philippines. 1t is noteworthy,
however, that it comes principally from
those who advocate the wholesale slaughter
of the Filipinos to teach them that the
United States is not to be trified with. If
we retain the Philippines we will not do so
because w are animated by humane mo-
tives, but because we think it will pay us
to keep them. But it will be impossible
to convince any sensible person that we
can make the proposition pay if w have
to maintain a large standing army to keep
the inhabitants of-the islands in order.

One of the striking evidences as to one
direction in which we are going is furnished
by the apparently authoritative announce
ment Of yesterdays dispatch that this con-
gress, just drawing to a close, will knock
the four preceding 81, 900, 000, 900 congresses
into a condition of speechless idiocy by
making its record as a 81, 800, 900, 900 con-
gress. The total Of appropriations Is
stated at 81, 567, 500. 900. The present rate
of expenditure is close upon $40 per capita.

The development of electric railway
systems has, during the last year, made
most wonderful progress. Over 1000
miles of new tracks We're laid in the
United States, and, while most of it was
east of the Mississippi river, the in
crease IN the west has been more than
proportionate to the population of the
two sections, and this in the face of the
fact that three states of the west
North Dakota, Wyoming and Nevada
have no electric lines. The smallest in
crease in mileage has been in the south,
where two states, each with a popula-
ton greater than that of Nebraska, did
not equal the latter in their increase. The
New England and middle states have
the most new mileage to their credit, rs
might be expected from their population,
but the increase made by the west in
dicates that enterprise has quite as
much to do with this progress as has the
factor of population.
