FRUITS OF IMPERIALISM.

Baltimore American; The most startling
thing in British politics is the discovery Of
a deficit in the budget OF considerable pro-
portions. which must be met by extra taxes.
This comes. too, after the institution %
taxes OF a somewhat exceptional character
by the present government, which it was
supposed would meet all demands. The in
creases in the army and navy have been too
much for the budget, and, as 1t is generally
conceded that there will be no decrease In
these expenditures, the government will be
put to its trumps to raise the necessary
revenue.
New York Evening Post: 1t is an essential
part of the imperialistic gospel that salvation
for subject races comes high for those who
do the saving. The English imperialists are
beginning to worry about this. They find
their expenses for the empire growing un-
comfortably large. This year, for the first
time in history, the expenses Of the English
army on a peace footing exceed 800, 900, 600.
We can give our cousins odds in this game
and beat them easily, as our army appro-
priations, including pensions, will easily be
upward of $500, 900, 900. In England, how
ever, they are nervous over the smaller sum.
One troubled member OF the government
said the other day, in a speech to a tory
club, that they ought to go about among the
people explaining that imperialism could
not be run on the cheap" But, as Mr.. Nor
ley retorted, this is entirely unnecessary.
as the tax collector is a more telling mis-
sionary Of that gospel" He is, and he will
be busily preaching it throughout this fair
land Tor many years to come.

DUTIES or THE COMMISSION

The Philippine commission, which

next few days, is charged with duties
not confined to an investigation of the
condition of affairs in the islands. In
addition TO this the commission is
charged with making all practicable eff
forts 10 acquaint the natives with the
intentions of this government and to per
suade them TO accept its authority. 1t

proposed to pursue and 1t will report to
Washington from time 10 time what IN
It's Judgment Is desirable to be done
with a view TO establishing peaceful re-
latIons.
The president said in the instructions
to the commissioners: 1T is my desire
that In all their relatione with the in
habitants of the islands the commits
sioners exercise respect for all the ideals,
customs and institutions OF the tribes
and races which compose the popula-
ton, emphasizing upon all occasions the
just and benelicent intentions of the gov
eminent of the United States" If the
Filipinos can be made to understand and
appreciate this there will be "a chance OF
accomplishing something, but the fail
ure OF the commission appointed by

While the owners Of town and farm

1t is this rank discrimination against

No fair-minded person desires to cripple
the railways by excessive taxation, but
il is only fair and just that the excessive

THE INCOMING TIDE.
RippIes of the Wave of Land
Headed for Nebraska,

j. Sterling MortOn's Conservative.
Bounteous crops and a new place for Ne
braska in the confidence Of the h~ome-making
people OF the United States guarantee an
immediate advance in population, prosperity
and wealth for every part Of it. The ripples
OF the wave OF a coming immigration Of
la~ndseekers and farmers are already felt
before the disappearance OF the frosts Of a
long and severe winter. This influx Is
evidently to be one Of the largest in volume
which, since the homestead era, this state
has ever known. Managers OF our great rail-
ways, whose direct, immediate and ultimate
interests in the new invasion are prodigious,
unite in saying that there can be no mistake
about It.
All of which means a new advance OF the
state in growing strength, in population,
wealth and power, in the face of predictions
OF political demagogues and chronic pes
simists OF the Arkansas Jones brand, who
insist that a prosperity which is giving the
country volumes Of business never be-
fore known in its history is not prosperity;
that raw products In unexampled abundance
with ready markets at fair prices, with ex-
ports of manufactured products exceeding
any previous record, and increasing at a
rapid rate upon legitimate demand, mean
nothing but proverty and distress; and that
everything that Is good is actually bad in
this great country OF ours.

EQUITABLE

The Michigan Legislature has passed Il
bill whereby the property Of railroad,
telegraph and telephone companies is to
be taxed the same as the property Of
other corporations and private indiyid-
uals. Such a law virtually enacts the
provisions OF the constitution of Ne
Draska, which expressly requires the
levy OF taxes by valuation so that every
person and corporation shall pay a tax
In proportion to the value of his, her or
It's property. In other words, the bur
den of taxation, to be equitable, should
be imposed without discrimination or
fayoritism upon all classes Of property.
This, however, does not appear to sat
isfy the managers Of the properties
owned by corporations whether they are
In Michigan or In Nebraska. Under the
system of taxation that prevails in this
state the assessment machinery is so
arranged as practically to exempt pub

One OF the most novel cases on record
was that Of Mrs. Mary Epps. tried at Fort
Scott, Kan, this week. Mrs. Epps is a
clairvoyant and she brought suit against
a negro to recover a fee OF 800 for driving
away a ghost that infested his house. The
jury impaneled to try the case consisted
OF six crippled negroes and a Chinaman
and the trouble commenced when the clerk
tried 10 swear him IN as a Juror. He re-
fused to take an oath unless in the man

and then announced that be was ready TO

the presence of the "haunts" on the ne

payment on the ground that while Mrs.

CUBA,s LUNCH COUNTER.
Extent of the Drain On Uncle Sans
Iarder.
Boston Globe.

Few things are more demoraliZing than
the promiscuous free lunching Of great
masses OF people. That seems TO be what
we are largely engaged in in Cuba, where
Uncle Sam Is today feeding 8 per cent. Of the
total population, and the number appears 10
increase rather than diminish. From 20,00O
to 25, 900, or 10 per cent OF the city's in
habitants, are fed In Havana alone on army
~rations.
AS soon as II became known that supplies
were being furnished practically on call the
amount OF rations daily distributed rose
from 10000 per day TO 10000, and even %, 200.
Under such an unregulated system there
could be no just discrimination between the
deserving and idleIs and yagabonds,
1t is of course argued that 1t is better
that the unworthy should receive %ratlons
than that one deserving person should go
without. The trouble is that without proper
discrimination the tendency Is for the un-
worthy to more and more crowd out the
worthy, while the disinclination to work,
even where work can be obtained, grows
apace.
We are confronted with some serious and
delicate problems in Cuba. In a country
where the climate and conditions are favor
able TO idleness, charity finds it's chief excuse
In that II is merely a makeshift, pending a
supply OF employment. When dispensed
under army rules and without the care and
Discrimination which are found In organized
benevolent societies, 1t may soon generate
alarming evils.
Our pressing duty Is 10 curtail the free
lunch arrangement in Cuba as rapidly as
possible by furnishing work on public i'm
provements whereby the poor may become
self-supporting.
