TAXED OUT OF THE STATE.


1t is announced that Mr. Hugh NJ
Hanna, brother of Senator Hanna of
Ohio, has given up his residence at Cleve-
land, and win hereafter make his home
near Thomasyille, in this state, where he
has considerable plantation, and winter
place. Mr.. Hanna is quoted in the Chi
cage. Record as saying that he has been
taxed out of Ohio; that no man who owns
personal property can live in that state
without being constantly exposed to a
temptation to commit perjury. UAder the
laws of Ohio all investments outside of the
state are taxed cents and mills per 81
on 60 per cent. of their nominal value.
Mr.. Hanna says that he has some in
vestments in other states than Ohio which
are valuable only because of their pros
pective profits, but which bring him now
no income at ell; nevertheless Ohio COM
pels him to pay in taxes nearly per cent.
on 60 per cent. of their nominal value. or
about per cent. on their full value. There
are extremely few investments which
can stand such taxation. in these DAYS of
cheap money; but the only way one can
avoid the tax is TO commit perjury in
making his returns for taxation. Rather
than do this, Mr. Hanna says he will make
his home in Georgia; and he declares, fur
Their, that q number of people in Ohio
who are so unfortunate as TO have mon
ey, will follow his example for the same
reason"
The advantage which Mr. Hanna will
secure through his change of residence,
probably, will come through the fact that
he will move from a city, where taxes are
high, into the country, where there are
only state and county taxes to be paid.
The probabilities are that if Mr.. Hanna
had removed to a Georgia city-this city
for instance-instead of to the country.
his taxes would be about as high as he
found them in the city of Cleveland. The
incident of Mr.. Hanna's change of base.
and his statement that there are Others
who viii follow his example. suggests the
query, will the rich men leave the cities
and move into the country in order 90
secure lower taXation?" Again. in the
framing of tax laws. would it not be wise
to discriminate in favor of those bonds
mortgages and other evidences of indebt-
edness secured by property which is itself
taxed at the full legal rate? Taxing both
the farm and the mortgage on il is double
taxation. This fact initiates against loans
and has tendency to drive money into
hiding or out of the state.

THAT sEIzURE OF FLOUR.

It is not probable that we shall have
any serious discussion with the English
government about the ship load Of Ameri-
can -four which was seized in Delagoa bay
a few days ago by British cruisers, The
! English papers. as appears from our dis
patches, differ greatly about the wisdom
OF the seizure, although they are not yet
in possession of all the facts connected
with It.
1t is not known. for instance, whether
The flour was intended for parties IN
Portuguese territory or was shipped TO
commission houses in that territory to be
forwarded to Pretoria, or some other point
in the Transvaal republic. If the flour
was consigned to a firm in Portuguese ter
ritory, to be forwarded to the actual own
ers of it in the Transvaal, 1t will be re-
garded as a continuous shipment, that Is
the carrying on of trade between a neu-
trail and a belligerent. This country and
Portugal so far as the South African war
is concerned, are neutral Powers, and are
at liberty to trade with each other as
freely as if there were no war going on
anywhere in the world, but International
law does not permit articles which are
contraband of war to be sent to one of
the belltgerents through the territory of a
neutral
There is no doubt of course that arms
munitions and army supplies are contra
band of war, but it is not so certain that
flour is. 1t might be a grave mistake
as pointed out by one of the English
papers. for England to insist upon consid-
ering flour contraband of war. She
might make precedent that could be used
against her at some future time with tell
ing force. But flour could hardly be con-
sidered contraband of war unless it were
intended for the Boer army, and hardly
then unless the army were besieged. If
the cargo that was seized was for the
Boer population, it is doubtful if there IL
any international law to support the con-
tention that it is contraband of war. IN
order to hold the -four the British Will
have to show that it was intended for a
point within Boer territory, and probably
also for the Boer army.
There is no doubt that the state depart-
ment, in its instructions to our ambassa-
dor to England, will point out the i'm
portahce OF complying strictly with the
requirements of International law. 1t Is
doubtful if there will be any disposition
TO favor either the British or the Beers
Both sides have their friends in this coun-
try. and any attempt to favor one side
or the other would be promptly noticed.
1t Is probable that the British govern
ment does not regard the seizure of the
cargo of flour in Delagoa bay as of much
Importance but 1t wants it to be general
ly understood that it does not intend TO
permit the shipment of arms, munitions
and army supplies to the Beers across
Portuguese territory.

THE KENTUCKY GovERNoRsHIP.

As the time for the meeting OF the Leg
islature of Kentucky approaches interest
in the Goebel-Taylor contest for the gov
ernorship revives. No doubt efforts have
been made TO find out how the members
Of the House and Senate stand in regard
20 the claim of Mr.. Goebel, but if success
has attended such efforts the fact has been
carefully Kept from the public.
There are statements made in regard 20
the matter In dispatches sent out from
Louisville, but it is not certain that reli-
ance can be placed upon them. The prob
abilities are that the statements are only
guesses. Members of the Legislature
would hardly let it be known how they
intend to vote before they had heard the
evidence and the arguments
The purport of the statements which
are appearing in the newspapers is that
the anti-GoebeI Democrats will join the
/ Republicans i'm opposing the claim of Mr..
Goebel. If they should do this the Senate.
It is said, would be tie, and the Repub-
lcan Lieutenant Governor would have the
( casting vote. If this statement of the
situation in the Senate is correct, Mr..
Goebel may be defeated by the refusal of
the Senate TO go into joint session.
Mr.. Goebel is pretty shrewd politician
aud an excellent judge of character. The
presumption is that he would not have be-
gun the contest in the Legislature, after
. having been defeated in the contest before
the State Board of Elections, if he had
not been pretty well satisfied that there
was a very good chance for his success.
1t is regrettable that the election was
not satisfactorily settled at the polls. Had
ii been, the bitterness between the con-
tending factions that marked the cam
paign would have, to a very great extent,
disappeared with the Inauguration of the
successful candidate. The contest before
{ the Legislature will in all probability, be
a long one. and will increase the feeling
of hostility between the Democrats and
Republicans, and particularly between the
two factions of the Democratic party.
Whatever the result of the contest be-
fore the Legislature may be, there is
bound to be bad feeling between the
oontending parties and the factions for a
long time.

The Cubans-at least those of them
who are looking forward to politics for
living-are in a great hurry to get the
reins of government in their hands. They
are restless. How much better it would
be for them and for Cuba if they were TO
turn their attention to the development
of the resources of their island!
Many of them are not yet convinced ap-.
parently that the resolution of Congress,
that Cuba shall have her independence,
will be carried into effect. One of them,
a very prominent man probably. was
quoted in our Havana dispatches yester-
day as saying that If it is the purpose
of the United States government to give
Cuba her independence why does not
President Mckinley outline the sort of
a government it is proposed the island
shall have so that the Cubans can study
it and be prepared TO carry it on when it
is established.
The Cubans will have to be very patient.
President Mckinley will not undertake to
do very much more than he has already
done towards establishing a government
in Cuba. He has done about all he is
expected to do. The Secretary of War
may make some recommendations for the
consideration of Congress, but they will
/ not necessarily be adopted.
Congress is a slow moving body. Some
time during the present session probably
measure providing a form of govern
ment for Cuba will be reported to the
House, from the proper committee. How
long Congress viii consider it before act
ing upon it cannot be predicted with any
degree of certainty. The Cubans who are
getting restless over the delay in estab-
fishing a government need not be sur
prised if Congress does nothing definite
in respect to the matter before sometime
next summer. 1t is certain that there
win be no hasty action
And il will be better probably that
there shall be no hurry. II will be better
to so slow than to make mistakes. The
Cubans ought to be satisfied that they
will have ALI that has been promised them.
and should drop politics for the present
and lend hand in building up the island.
