IN recent article on mortgage taxa
ton the Brooklyn Eagle makes this
statement: Massachusetts has exempt
ed mortgages for long time and Ver-
mont taxes them. The rate of interest
charged on such loans in Vermont is
one per cent higher than in Massachu-
setts." Insults the Eagles purpose bet
ter to make this statement and drop it,
right there, than to submit any proof.
Its discretion is commendable. If it
submitted the real facts in the matter
it would have to amend or withdraw its
statement.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
An Interesting Letter,

The subjoined letter, written by Frank
III. Foster, Company A Battalion Engi-
neers United States Army. to his father,
e. l.. Foster, Newark N. j., gives an ex-
tremely interesting ins de view OF affairs in
the Philippine islands:
MANILA, PHILIPPINR ISLANDS,
December 30, 1898.
1t is some time now since have written
you, for my time has been fully occupied in
detail work. We have been building roads
and bridges, aud repairing them throughout
the city and suburbs. During these visits
to the suburbs have taken the opportunity
to cross the lines and go into the insurgent
camps, and into the country beyond, and
on one occasion to the distance of about
ten miles, 80 that l have been within three
miles of the mountains, and about the same
distance from the Laguna. / met with no
opposition from the insurgent guards, and
found no difficulty in inspecting their quar-
ters and beyond one-half mile outside of
our own outposts, saw none OF them what
ever. From our outposts about three miles
back OF Manila, on the north bank of the
Pasig River, to the valley at the foot of the
mountains the land takes gradual rise; is
rolling and wholly cultivated in rice, but
evidences of warfare and destruction are to
be seen on every hand.
All Of this country Is an ideal place for
guerrilla warfare lor all the fields are ter
raced; each terrace being from one TO three
feet high, and from ten TO twenty feet apart
No better protection against an assault from
the front could be afforded. Supplements
ing these defensive conditions, the area Is
completely covered with earth works.
trenches, and block houses. All within
easy rifle range of each other. The block
houses, however, as well az the dwellings.
have all been demolished by Spanish artil,
lery, or fred by the insurgents. AT every
clump of trees or knoll are to be found earth
works of some description. Within one.

s WILLIAM GILBERT IRWIN, of the
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, writ
ing in the Independent, says: at has
not been long since Aguinaldo de-
clared that he was ready to disband his
army just as soon as assured that the
United States intended permanently to
occupy the islands. But that does not
mean that Aguiualdo intends to keep
his promise, or that he ever had any
intention of doing so, for on former
occasions the insurgent leader has
violated his promises" Mr.. Irwin has
the right measure of this jumping jack
that has 80 impressed the credulous
Hoar with his resemblance to George
Washington.

CRITICISM or unfavorabe comments
on army administration during the war
with Spain must be muzzled, as they
dim the glory of our arms in that
strife. This is the substance of the
cutlery against Gen. Miles for his state
ments, whatever the pending inquiry
shall show he stated, in respect of the
beef furnished to troops. But the
glory the private soldier, regular or
volunteer, white or black, Rough Rider
or in any other organization, the fame
such officers as Wood and Roosevelt,
and their eubordinates in command,
such generals as Lawton, Chafee and
their comrades who led and command
ed in the desperate fights at San Juan
and Ell Caney, cannot be used to shield
incompetency in high official places, or
stifie inquiry and investigation.

HON. WIN. N. KINCAID

Offers Some yImely Suggestions Concern
ING the West Virginia Election Law.
To the Editor Of the Register.
The foundation of this government
rests upon a fair and impartial cleo
ton. Every person qualified legally to
vote should cast one vote and have 1t
counted. The middle that exists at
Charleston over contested election re-
turns is q disgrace to the State, and
should be remedied by a revision Of our
election laws that will prevent such a
state of affairs occurring again. Gov
ernor Atkinson says the present law
disfranchises thousands of people; that
is true, and it e~nfranchises thousands
who are not entitled to vote. One is
lust as bad as the other. The law gov
erning elections in any State should
be clear, simple, explicit and shaped so
every voter could easily understand
It's meaning and be able to vote his
sentiments with ease and as he wishes.
Elections are for the purpose Of deter
mining who our officials shall be. Who
are to conduct u Offices in municipal,
county, State and nation, and the voice
of the people as expressed through the
ballot should be unalterable and I'M
changea5le. whether the majority be-
one or unanimous. If this government
is to exist and be porpetuated his
principal must be strictly observed,
because the Constitution, the ordained
law of our nation, declares that the life
of the republic can exist only so long
as we maintain inviolate this law. Our
late election in this State plainly
points out that fact. We think, and
thousands of all parties voice the senti-
ment, that this Legislature should,
above everything else, take up this
matter and revise III election laws so
that when the ballots are cast they can
be counted and the returns made out
and no man be disfranchised who is
entitled to vote, ana those Cancelled and
not counted found TO be illegal. Our
present election law is good in many
