III BROADWAY, New YORK,

May 10. 1899.
Ed. Register-I see that you recently
raised an objection to the single tax,
that as it would not burden the public
it would lead to extravaganza and cor
ruption. And you said further that it
seemed to you that the only safeguard
against unlimited outlay lies in the
fact that tax is a tax always felt and
always kicked against.
beg to point out that your obiec-
tion has far greater weight against our
present system of taxation than against
the single tax on ground values. All
taxes that are indirect and are paid by
the people in the increased cost of the
commodities they purchase, including
the houses they lease, are paid by
them to greater or less extent un-
consciously, and the result is just what
you fear; that there is the greatest ex
travagance, especially on the part of
our Federal Government. Almost all
federal taxes being indirect the people
evidently do not realize that they are
vitality interested in federal economy.
At the same time about the only
class of people who actively resist ex
travagance, are those who pay real
estate taxes for local purposes. While
it is entirely true that If all taxes were
laid on the value of land, they would
not be burden upon the mass of the
people, still it is true that all those
who actually pay the tax would be
vitality interested in governmental
economy. Moreover they would be
interested not only in economy on the
part of their municipal and State Gov
ernments, but would also he interested
in federal economy.
In the States of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, where all State revenues
are derived from taxes. which the peo-
pie in general do not feel, there is now
a growing sentiment against such forms
of taxation because of the extrav
agance which has arisen. In the State
of New York, our State expenditure
had doubled in ten years because the
revenues derived by the State from in
heritance and license taxes have in
creased rapidly, and the Legislature
has spent this money without reducing
the direct tax upon the counties.
Yours, "ery truly,
LAWSON PURDY.

of the corruption so common in legis-

of the republic shall succeed it will
raise its hideous head and thrust its
poisonous fangs into the heart of per-
sonal liberty. and its sting will be TIE
death of freedom.
What crime have the. Cubans ard
the Porto Ricans and the Filipinos com
mitted that we should kill them? Long
before Bunker Hill was baptized in
freedoms blood the Filipinos were bat
tling for independence; aud for more
than half a century the Cubans have
been struggling to throw OFF the i'm
perialistic rule aud establish repub-
lie like unto our own. Is it crime
in the eyes of the United States for
people to gather inspiration aud cour-
age from the example of George WASH
ington aud his fellow patriots and de-
mand release from tyranny as they did?
The history of the Cubans and Filipinos
tell of no other offending. More peo-
pie have given up their lives for the
cause of liberty in Cuba and the Phil
ippines than were sacrificed in the war
of American independence. Never at
any time did George Washington mus
ter as large an army as the Cubans or
the Filipinos have mustered. A far
greater percentage OF Americans re-
fused to give aid and sympathy to the
cause of the young republic than has
ever been found arrayed against the
efforts of the Cuban or Filipino revolu-
tionists. What, then, have the Cubaus
and the Filipinos done that the worlds
greatest republic should be the only
nation of the earth that finds their Of
fense against humanity so dreadful
that it should volunteer to crush their
spirit of liberty aud make vassals OF
themP
They have done nothing to offend
the spirit. the purpose. or the genius
of the United States. Their efforts to
secure their independence are in har-
mopy with what the United States
stands for. and the heart and soul Of
our institutions gives them sympathetic
greeting. But there has arisen Ia the
nation class of ambitious minds
whose purpose is to build up an empire
upon the ruins OF the republic. They
are not men of great intelligence aud
culture. They are not statesmen, they
est. They are very rich, though. and
they are money mad. The leopard
does not glory more in it's spots nor
the tiger in it's stripes than these
money proud imperialists glory in their
wealth. They know money but they
do not know books" 1t is this eles
ment that is urging the subjugation of
the Cubans and Filipinos and Porto
Ricans and the annexation of their ter
ritory. And they would accomplish
their purpose as they have accumulated
their dollars-by the plundering meth
DDS of trusts and monopolies. As we
have said. they are money mad. and
their great wealth gives them the
erroneous belief that they are superior
beings. This foolish and stupid idea
makes them want a system of govern
ment which would distinguish marked
ly between themselves and the masses.
That Is why they want a colonial en-
militarism, which Is tn he foundation of
a money aristocracy. the only kind of
Imperialism they are fitted for by blood,
education or manners *. c. Times.

Asked why this was, his WiIe in confidence told visitor, and she in turn told a friend, and so on down the line until it reached the club in this shape: "Yes, Jim doesn't ride 3 bicycle any more, because, you see, bicycling units man for the work of wheeling a baby carriage. The handle-bars on the carriage do not suit him.

John Outer, who has just died at Broadmoor, England, had been fifty five years in prison. It was in 1S43 that he first entered a jail, being then charged with an attempt to murder It was, however, found that he was not responsible for his actions, and he was ordered confined during her maj esty's pleasure. He was first incar- cerated in Old Bedlam, until, in 1864, when the Broadmoor asylum was opened, he was transferred there with other prisoners.

Remuneration Not Deserved.

A Lewiston man recently found a dog on his doorstep. He drove her away again and again. But she would continually return Last Thursday he found her in his shed with seven pups, lying contentedly on 8 rug. He was minded to drown them all, but did not, and Saturday a stranger came and gave him $10 apiece for three of them. Sunday a man from Auburn who Bad heard of them came over and bought one for $1O. Monday he sold the rest for $8 apiece. If I see any more dogs on my steps I shall find out what breed they are before l drive 'em off," he said.-Kennebec Journal

The Duchess of York has one of the most interesting collection of post cards on record. It has been contrib uted to by sovereigns of every land where postcards are used, the German relatives of her royal highness sup plying by far the greater number, many of which are very picturesque and artistic. Postcard albums are for the moment busting both stamp and autograph albums from favor, and have the advantage in both respects, inasmuch as they supply the stamp of various nationalities as well as the autograph of some friend or distin- guished individual, and, furthermore, a dainty bit of. scenery.
