very bright little army woman rose to
the occasion well a few days ago, says
a Washington dispatch to the New York

F.xCESsIVE TAXATION IN NEW
YORK

II taxes become much heavier in New
York city real estate will not be worth
great deal there except in localities where
it is in great demand for business pur-
poses.
1t seems that the Manhattan Club has
decided to leave the Stewart man
sion, which it has occupied for number
of years, for the reason, among others,
that the taxes on the building have become
so heavy that the club cannot afford to
keep it, The members of the club are scat
tered all over the country, and therefore
the burdensome character of the taxation
in New York is likely to become very
widely known
The club pays the taxes on the club
building and rental of $S7,50O year.
In 1897 the taxes amounted to $4,000 in
1898, $12 900, and this year they will be S20,-
900. In two years they have doubled. New
York complains of loss of commerce. If
the increase of taxes in the next few years
should be as great as it was in the last
two she via lose very large percentage
of her residents. The people win not be
able to pay taxes there.
We have many times called the attention
of The people of this city to the very high
rate of taxation here, and also TO the
high valuation of property for assessment
purposes. Still, those who are chosen to
administer the city's affairs go right ahead
increasing salaries, and making improve
ments that could very wen be put off I'M
til future day. If a close investigation
were made it would be found doubtless
that there are NOR salaried officers than
are absolutely needed and that there are
many ways in which economy could be
introduced.

T0LsTOrs ADVICE TO THE CAR.


The mind of the Car is full Of his peace
proposition. That is apparent from his
interview with Count Tolstoi, az Toola,
mentioned in our dispatches yesterday
And was not the suggestion contained in
the reply Of the count, when the Gar
asked him his opinion Of the imperial
proposal for the limitation Of the arma-
ments of the nations. good one? The
Count said that he should believe in it
when the Gar set the example. And
would not more be accomplished in the
direction Of the Cars proposition if the
Gar should set the example of limiting
the armament of his own empire than
will be accomplished by means of the con-
ference of nations which is soon to take
place?
There Is no reason to think that the
conference will accomplish much. The
difficulty will be for the conferees to reach
an agreement, and no agreement could be
made that would be kept when war was
threatened. All of the great Powers are
now engaged in increasing their military
strength in one direction or another. This
country is preparing to increase both its
army and navy. England has only recent
ly ordered a great increase in her navy
and Germany and France are getting
ready TO provide their armies with new
and more effective weapons.
The Cars proposition is in the highest
degree commendable, but how can it be
made acceptable? The very moment that
it is proposed in the conference that the
ornaments of the nations shall stop at
the point they have now reached the OBJ
lection will be made that the nations are
by no means on footing of equality so
far as armament is concerned. For in
stance, France might say that she is en-
titled TO a larger army than Germany,
because she has more wealth, but that,
as matter of fact, Germany has the
greater number of soldiers, assuming of
course that she has more. She would in
sist that Germany should muster out some
of her soldiers or that France should have
the privilege of increasing her army be
fore the proposed action of the Powers
should have effect. OF course Germany
would not agree to anything of the kind.
There will no doubt be many such points
raised in the conference, and it will be
found impossible to overcome them.
But the conference will not be without
its good effects The tendency of it wall
be to educate the public mind in the di-
rection of peace. 1t will cause discus
sions and these discussions, in the course
of time, will create a strong public senti-
ment in favor of reducing the huge armies
and great navies which are impoverishing
the people of Europe. While the confer
ence may not accomplish at this time
what the Car seeks to accomplish, 1T may
be the starting point of a great reform.

THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.

Now that Georgia is getting her new
penitentiary institution into shape, there
is, one reform in the penal system which
should have the attention of the next ses-
sion of the legislature. 1t is in the mat
ter of the execution of condemned felons
All executions should take place in the
central state prison, under the direction
of the executive officer of that establish
ment
There was once a time when hangngs
took place in public, for the purpose of
impressing the witnesses with the enorm-
ity of the crime and the terrible punish
ment of the law. The theory that wit
Messing an execution is a deterrent of
murder has long since been given up,
and hangings are now private. But the
privacy does not go far enough. We had
a case which illustrates the point in this
city a short time ago. A black man was
banged for the murder of a policeman.
His execution was in private in accord
ance with the law; but after he had been
hanged his body was turned over to
preacher of his race and lay in state in
a church all night and a part of the
next day. During the night crowds Wis
tied the church and viewed the body, and
speeches were made in which the dead
murderer was referred to as a martyr; and
the next day ne was given as elaborate
a funeral as the pastor of the church
himself would have been given. Is there
any doubt respecting the effect which was
produced upon any weak-minded or Grim
inally inclined negro who may have at
tended the obsequies?
This instance of making a hero of a
murderer, however, was not an isolated
one. The same sort of thing happens
frequently; almost as often as a murderer
is condemned and executed. And when a
murderer is thus glorihed an incentive in
a certain degree, to other murders is Gre
ated.
There is nothing so fearsome to the av-
erage mind, and especially the average
coiored persons mind, as mystery. If ali
executions were performed at the penl-
tertiary, the person who committed a
murder and had been convicted would
simply disappear, and a line or two in
the newspaper would tell when he had
been executed. That would be ALL The
condemned felon should be taken to the
state prison as soon as sentence is passed
Thus he would be removed from local sur
roundings, and there would be no abnor-
NAL sentimentalism during his incarcera-
ton, and no big send-off after the exc
cution. The ends of justice would be bet
nd fhA
of the murderer would carry real terror
TO eriminally disposed persons familiar
with the case. In New York and else
where the system OF having ell execu-
tons performed in state prison has been
adopted. 1t should be adopted in Geor-
gia.

has sugar refining process Of his own

Morning News printed a few days ago an
article in which it was stated that sugar
refiners and the capitalists interested in

apprehension to a time when the refining
of sugar would be done by some new pro-
cess much more cheaply than it is now
done; that chemists are constantly at

new process for refining sugar, and that
the Havemeyers have invested a large

refining which will unsettle the values of
their great refining properties. Ii may
not be that Dr. McTyere has made any
discovery which will upset the sugar

A FiIinino Pnnster.

Lew Dockstader, the minstrel enter
tanned a group of senator's and represen-

day with a new story, says a Washington
dispatch in the Philadelphia Record. Here
it is:
"Out in Illinois 1 know an old farmer
who was in the hog raising business. One
day last spring he drove into Chicago and
bought a herd of fine Berkshire shoats.
paying cents a pound for them. He
drove the hogs to the farm, thirty or forty
miles from town, fed them on bran, corn
and all kinds of fattening feed. He used
to get up with the chickens in the morn
ing to look after the hogs and kept close
tab on them all day.
Late in the fall, having spent about $40
apiece to fatten them, he drove them back
to the Chicago stock yards, There he
found that the price of hogs had gone
down, and the best he could get for them
was cents a pound.
The hogs had nearly bankrupted him,
and he was compelled to make the sacri-
flee. On his way home, respondent and
down on his luck, he met an old friend
who asked: What did you get for your
hogs? Three cents a pound; just what
I paid for them.' Wei, you didn't make
much on the deal, eh?' No" replied the
old farmer, but 1 had the society of the
hogs
