We are in favor of general system
of inspection, similar to that IN vogue
in the national government. There is
much complaint Of eXtravagant criminal

are firm in the belief that great re-

rection, if there should be State in
sl-.ctors to visit the counties TO Watch
the court proceedings, to inspect the
court transactions and to require COM
monwealths attorneys to give in every
instance their reason LOT ConlinulhS
cases, and so on.
United States district attorneys are re-
uuired to make regular reports on blanks
furnished for the purpose. to the At
torrey- General in Washington, of every
case tried or continued in the courts at
tended by them. If suchtan attorney
permits a case to go over he must give

that wants to give a reason that is a val
id one But besides all this Il government
inspector goes around regularly and in

duct of the district attorney and if he
has reason to believe that an attorney is
negligent or slipshod, or easy-goinS in
prosecuting his cases. he reports such
an attorney to the authorities in Wash
ington and the attorney is then called
upon to explain.
We believe that such a system in Viz

facilitating the business of the courts

secure the same The roperty thus p'lr-
chased is assessed against the purchaser
and he pays taxes TO the State thereon,
While the holder OF the notes IS REQUIRED
also TO list them for taxation. And SO it
happens that in all such cases real estate
oMaiers are required to pay taxes not only.
on tlieir possessions. but on their debts.
we said in the previous article that the
state really had no right to assess the
holder OF the real estate thus purchased
beyond the amount he had paid thereon.
Since this article was written, We have
through the courtesy Of a gentleman In
New York, who read The Tines article.
received an extract from the California
law which provides for this very thing.
The California statute reads.
"A mortgage. deed OF trust. contract or
other obligation by which debt is Sc
cured shall. for the purpose of assessment
and taxation. be deemed and treated as
an interest in the property affected there
by !. the value Of the, property az
fected by such mortgage. etc, less the
value of such security, shall be assessed
ana:taxed TO the owner of the property,
and The value of sIc:1 security shall be
assessed and taxed to the owner thereof
This question has been discussed up and
down in New York and the Tax Commas
sion Of that State has recommends the
exemption OF mortgages from taxation.
The contention. is that where mortgages
are taxed the holder of the mortgage adds
Tie tax rate to the interest rate and SO
makes the real estate owner pay not only
a double tax. but triple tax. On the
other hand. it is said that if the moresage
be EXEMPT from taxation the rate of in
terest will be lowered.
But that is a question. 1t seems TO us
that the California plan is the better plan.

the Chesapeake and Ohio railway from
a position of comparative obscurity to-
that of recognized power among the
great trunk lines of this country. He
built up a great railroad. and made for
it and for himself many. friends. One Of
the best things he ever did for the Chesa-

pare him to fill the place he now holds.
The combination of Mr.. Stevens and

CURRENT TOPICS.

We said yesterday that President Nc
Kinley had taken the back track on the
proposition for free trade with Porto
Rico. We made the statement on the
authority Of the New York Tribune. The
Washington Post quotes Representative
Payne, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. as saying that the
President has not changed his position
in the matter although he does not
refuse TO sign bill which places
duty on Porto Rican products. The
Post adds:
THE outlook now is that the House
will pass free-trade bill in accordance
with the Presidents desires, but that
the Porto Rico Committee OF the Sea-
ate will amend it as to fix the cEty
on Porto Rican importations at % per
cont Of the present Dingley law. This
SENS to be the figure likely to be finally
agreed upon. Senator Plat, OF Con,
necticut, wants the duty to be so per
cent. of the present tariff law, but TINS
is generally regarded as too high.
"When the Porto Rico bill is reported
to the Senate with this amendment tbs
Democrats will offer an amendment In
the language Of the House bill or OF
the Presidents message and will support
it, while the Republicans will be COM
PEELED to go upon record in opposition to
the wishes OF their party chief. II tho
administration supporters act with the
Democrats, free trade with Porto Rico,
for which the President is still insistent,
all reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, will be secured. 1t is questionable,
however, whether the Republicans will
welcome a victory achieved by this
means.
f,,r, .aS fhf,v n1o4Sa
it is quite apparent that the Republicans
arc afraid of committing themselves to
the doctrine of free trade, and are for
the present determined to avoid any
appearance of evil But they have got
to come to it sooner or later.
The New York Sun OF yesterday prints
the following specia! from. San Francisco:
1.-The big American ship Shenandoah
has been chartered and will commence
taking in cargo for sydney in few
days. She will carry the largest cargo,
that has ever left this port for Australia.
Besides 100000 feet Of lumber, she will
have 5000 tons of general merchandise.
The largest cargo heretofore went on
the British ship Lansing, but it will not
DO within 1000 tons OF that Of the shen-=
andoah..
Trade between this port and the Aus
tralian colonies has been increasing s at
| such a rate that it is difficult to secure
sufficient tonnage to carry all the freight
offered.
Another evidence of the glazing fact
that by reason of the Transvaal war
Eneland's trade is suffering and Amerl-.
can trade is increasing.
