There is room for wide differences Of
opinion rs to what particular taxes should
be removed under the decision OF the
committee or ways and means, to reduce
the revenue $50, 900, 0oO. A pretty safe
rule to follow would seem to be TO remove
those taxes first which are most vsxa-
tlous to the community In general. All
taxes ultimately rest upon the masses oil
the people, but some are more vexatious
than others. OF the recent war taxes,
probably the ones that annoy the public
the most are those on kilograms and
express packages. There has been a con-
slant controversy as 20 who should pay
them since they were imposed, the people
feeling that the real intent OF Congress
was that the companies should pay them,
and not they. There can be no question
that it would give everybody q good deal
Of satisfaction to have these taxes re-
moved. The tax on checks Is another that

the time to correct it. IL win be- time

tax on beer and whiskey when these

articles on which they are imposed, and
therefore nesd not pay the tax.

The comptroller Of the currency finds
that one potent cause OF failures OF
national banks is excessive loans to their
directors and he recommends legislation
that will tend to restrict these loans,
though not to such an extent as viii de-
priye the banks of the services of the
business men OF the community. Repre-
sentative Brosius's bill, which Is de-
signed TO remedy the present difficulty,
lie specifically endorsed by the comp
troIler. This bill provides that no
national bank shall loan to its officers or
employees until the proposition for the loan
shall have been submitted in writing to
the directors or executive committee OF
the bank and approved by the majority
of them. A fine is fixed for infractions
of this section. 1t provides that at any
regular meeting the directors or a nation
al bank may fix by resolution the limit
of credit which shall be extended to any
director. Within the limit Of credit thus
fixed the executive officers, in their dis
erection, may loan TO directors without
other action by the board. Unless the
limit of credit has been thus fixed, an
application for loan by a director
must be In writing, approved by two

There are signs that Tafnmany Is really
getting frightened at the latest crusade
against vice in NewYork One of them is
that Bishop Potter has been called upon by
the mayor to furnish the names OF the OIL
GERS against whom be made charges OF in
science in his recent letter Another Is
the appointment of special counsel to pros
ecuts the delinquent officers. Heretofore
crusades against vice have troubled
Tammany very little. DIR. Parkhurst
spoke and wrote severer things than
Bishop Potter, and Furthermore ne pre-
sented abundant evidence of his
charges, yet Tammany never showed
much concern Certainly no reforms
followed the Doctors exposures. Why
Bishop Potter's efforts should seem like
ly to be crowned with 80 much better
success is not quite clear, perhaps, but
it is probably due TO the fact that he has
succeeded In enlisting more of the promi-
nent men of the city especially men
with plenty of money-than DIR. Park
hurst. The power of money is feared
much more by Tammsny than the power
Of virtue. 1t is fact that is not
areditabIe to the rich and influential citi-
zens of New York that Tammany has
been eminently successful in keeping
them quiet, or splitting them up into
factions, SO that their power ard In
fiuence did not amount to much. This
has been accomplished in part by keep
ing the rich men taxes down, and thus
putting them under obligation on the one
hand, and on the other inspiring them
with the fear that they might fare worse
as far as dollars and cents are concerned,
under a reform administration than un
der Tammsny. 1t Is q solemn fact that
the pockets of many citizens Of standing
and influence in every city are much more
sensitive than their condolences, and a
Rrest deal of ''cussedness" can go on
without exciting any more than very
ianGuid interest ON their part provided the
tax rate is kept oown, and their contrto
buttons to the public treasury kept with
In m oderate bounds. Money questions
are much more exciting to large part
of city communities than moral questions.
The corruption of the police force OF New
YORK has been exposed over ana over
again Without causing sufficient COM
motion to bring about the defeat Of Tam
many hall which was directly RESPONSE
Ibe for it. Van wyck was elected mayor
right In the face of exposure of the cor
rupt conduct of the police, stronger and
more detailed than Bishop Potter has
made. DIR. Parkhurst excited the whole
country over New Yorkis wickedness,
but never accomplished anything OF con-
sequence in the way Of actual reform
inside the municipality. Tammapy was
annoyed by his crusade. but never
frightened, apparently. For some reason
DR.. Parkhurst never succeeded in enlist
ing the elements which Tammany fears,
while Bishop Potter has. Virtue must
be backed by good deal OF money to
make Tammany fear 1t very much, and
Bishop Potter seems to have been able
to supply that kind OF backing.

A CLEAR CONTRAST.

There have been great public outbursts
In London and In Paris recently. In
London the rejoicing was in honor OF q

greetings were to defeated hero. Yet
who will not admit that the defeated
man had the right to fesl prouder than
the victor, over the conduct OF his ad-
mirers? The scene in London was one
of the most repulsiye and degradingof Its
kind that current history Will be asked to
describe. The scene in Paris was one to

of the contrast9 Certainly not entirely

The silver question may solve itself,
auoth Senator Jones AS matter of fact,
the silver question has solved itself. 1t
had solved Itself long before the Kansas
City convention met. When Mr.. Bryan

silver he was simply galyanizing a
corpse. He made it twitch little, Just
as the electric current makes the frogs
leg twitch a little, but he got 10 real
life into 1t. The only result of trying to
treat a question as alive which is really
dead, is to gst 1t buried deeper,
and that was MIR. Rryan's experience.
It's down so deep now that even he will
hesitate to dig 1t up again.

Indian Courtship.

If a story regarding a Crow creek
Indian maiden be true. then romantic
fancies are n part of the red mans life
as well as that Of his pale face brother.
1t has been the habit for years OF a
family of Grow Creek Sioux to go to
Miller evry new moon and camp on the
creek near tile slaughter house. From
Sisseton agency north has also come
with equal regularity family of Sioux.
1t was supposed that the halfway
meeting was for the purpose of swap,
ping dogs and comparing moccasins.
1t seems. however, that there is love
in the camp. A Crow Creek girl is
wanted by a young Sisseton policeman.
The maiden objects. The young oalcer
has bribed the parents to meet his
family every new moon on Turtle creek
The plan is causing the dusky maiden
to relent, and a wedding, so the story
goes. will soon follow the long scheming
