TAXES IN PORTO RICO.

When the Spanish laws are erased
from the statute books of Porto Rico,
and the last official deriving his au-
thority therefrom is relegated to the
shaded walks of private life, most of
the debris of tyranny and injustice
which covered the island for more than
a century will, have been removed. The
storms have swept away the old shacks
and makeshifts, the charred ruins and
the pest places, making room for new
homes and modern dwellings. The war
has banished the rule of priestcraft
and the extortion of civil and military
authorities. And now the people of the
island ought to be encouraged to get
together and adopt new code of laws
adapted TO their ways, habits of educa-
ton and conditions of life. In a gen.
erai repeating clause the old laws
ought to be wiped off and future liti-
cation based upon their provisions
made impossible. s.ee
When the Spaniards were in control of
the island and the crown needed a lit
tie more cash a royal decree was pro-
mulgated authorizing new levy. I'm
der existing laws all real estate is taxed
10 per cent and assessed, in many in
stances. at double its value. When the
owner had money he bribed the assessor
and got low valuation. But the poor
people who could not afford TO pay
brides had to pay taxes. Bread is
taxed. Meat is taxed. Everything that
is considered necessity of life, ex-
cept intoxicating liquors. is taxed to its
utmost capacity, and the consumer has
to pay the tax. The foreigner isn't as
good to him as protectionists claim that
he is to consumers in this country.
In searching for taxable interests in
every nook and Granny of the island
il was impossible for the tax-eating Off
Gals of Spain to avoid levying an oc-
casional tax where the justice of it is
apparent, although in this country it is
unknown. Chief of these is the income
tax. In Porto Rico it is pretty heavy,
being 35.5S per cent. There ought to
be something to take the place of this
in the reformation and equalization
which will soon take place.

Manchuria and the scramble for fras-
ments of the Celestial kingdom will be-

why English statesmen have coaxed the 4

ance for mutual protection necessary,

France at bay while John Bull at

and Africa
Without such an alliance we can
hardly believe that war between the
British and the Beers is possible.

Shortly after the Egyptian campaign
the directory was abolished. and Napo
leon. by a coup d'etat, was made first
consul and took up his residence in the
Tuileries in 1900 After two years of
brilliant conquest Napoleon then de-
voted himself to the administration of
France. He accordingly brought to this
undertaking the same military pre-
cision and broad minded love of order
which made his generalship SO note
worthy. After securing the national
solvency by putting affairs upon a
sound financial basis he proceeded to
the codification of the conflicting laws,
and accomplished his purpose so sue
cessfully that the Napoleonic code has
become finer monument to his men,
DRY than his battles. He meanwhile
established the uniform system of
weights and measures known as the
metric system, created the legion of
honor, restored the Catholic church,
erected magnificent bridges and con-
structed fine roads, thereby showing
such remarkable administrative ability
that the national confidence was so in
creased in his brilliant leadership that
his proclamation as emperor in 1904
was Immediately ratified by the popular
vote. Had he been content with the
peace with honor" which he had
achieved he would probably have never
tasted the bitter peace of ST. Helena.
But he had begun to gamble for crowns
and kingdoms; elated by his brilliant
winnings and fascinated by the great
stakes to be won, he rushed ahead with
the players fatality, hazarding his all
to wilma hut on an island in the South

who felt so keenly the way that cour-
tiers would regard her as a repudiated
wife. Two weeks after these fetes she
was obliged (Dec. 15), to appear before
the imperial council to hear the official
announcement of her divorce. NapO-
leon managed to make a successful
speech. but Josephine broke down in
her attempt to read her acceptance Of
the decree and her son was obliged to
finish it for her. The following day the
decree was read in the presence of the
triumphant Bonaparte family, and
Josephine signed it after reading the
oath of acceptance.
She was allowed by the senate to re-
tain the title of empress, and she re-
tired first to Navarro and then to
Malmaison, whence Napoleon had in
sisted upon withdrawing her thirteen
years before. Here she often received
flying visits from the emperor, with
whom she kept up a constant CORE
spondence. For five years she dragged
out broken-spirited existence, trying
by her kindness TO. others to forget that
she had been raised so high to be
dropped so low. She was treated with
great sympathy not only by the people
who always resented the dethronement
of Frenchwoman in. favor of an
Austrian princess. but also by the SOW
ereigns of Europe, to whom the second
marriage was always distasteful.
When Napoleon was an exile at Elba
and Maria Louisa, with the little king
of Rome, had fed to Austria, Josephine
wrote to Bonaparte that she was
anxious to share his exile with him..
This the allied sovereigns would not
permit, and Josephine, to whom the
entrance of the foreign troops into
Paris had been deathbiow. died before
the emperor's mysterious temperance
in France.
1t is one of the ironies of history that
the next Bonaparte who came to the
throne of France as Napoleon III. was
Josephine's and not Napoleon's grand
child.

There seems to be a lot of commotion
somewhere in Britain's sphere Of influ-
ence. There is a hurrying to and fro
among the Beers. The last word from
the Dutch republic shows that the Rad

days ago and that the peasants have
been on the lookout for Anglo-Saxon

at that time negotiating for the hand
of the grand duchess of Russia or an
archduchess of Austria. Josephine pre-
dicted that alliance with either one of
these powers would mean breach

the disastrous Russian campaign re-
