As rule the spring elections in the
several states indicate but little of the
comparative strength OF parties. In
these contests, which are for municipal
or county offices. the voters to large
extent lay aside party ties. Sometimes
a strictly local issue takes precedence
more frequently the popularity of some
candidates causes voting to cut across
party lines. 1t is only by scanning .he
returns from a large number of cities
in the different states that any conclu-
sions of value can be drawn. IL there
is any strong party movement in either
direction. it is apt to be seen in this
wide view. Judged by that test, the
Republicans have every reason to be

The Queen In Ireland.

For the first time since the death OF
the prince consort, which occurred near
ly forty years ago, Queen Victoria has
set foot on Irish soil. II is a notable
the world who would have allowed terri
tory within the realm to remain unvis-
tied so long a time when that territory
could have been reached after COM
paratlyely few hours of travel. 1t is
hard to realize that because of fear
that she would not be well received and
that her subjects might become less
loyal because of her presence Vic
toria should have allowed nearly four
decades TO pass without crossing the
Irish channel. and yet that is the real
reason for this long interim between
visits.
When a monarch may not pass freely
throughout all his domnions It Is evil
dent that there Is a lack of loyalty that
ought TO be and Is a matter OF deep
and urgent concern. The fact that the

Who Pays the Tax ?

The Bryantes say that the present
federal taxation throws its burdens en-
tlrely upon the poor and practically ex
empts the rich. This is one OF the mi
nor Misrepresentation OF existing condl-
tons which every intelligent man knows
10 be false. 1t is only intended. OF
course. to influence those who are too
ignorant to know or mentally too slug
gsh to think. With the exception %
the import duties upon sugar and tea,
which. in the individual case. amount
to a sum too Insignificant TO be consider
ed seriously, the federal system OF taxa
ton does not touch the poor man at all.
1t Is entirely optional with him whether
he contributes cent TO the support of
the federal government. With the ex-
ceptions noted. not a dollars worth of
imported articles upon which tariff du
ties are levied is used by the poor men.
or the men of moderate means. in this
country. Custom house collections af-
feet him not at all.
AS far as internal revenue taxation
Is concerned. all the poor man Is called
upon to pay indirectly is that upon
beer, spirits and tobacco. Substantial in
creases in the taxes upon beer and to-
bacco were imposed by the present war
revenue tax. Yet the retail price to the
consumer has remained unchanged.
Whatever is paid by the consumer Of
either beer. spirits or tobacco Is prac-
tieally voluntary tax, for It can hardly
be pretended that any of these articles
are articles of necessity. No man would
suffer in health. comfort or morals If
he refraned entirely from their ase.
No objects could be more legitimately
burdened with heavy taxation than
these, and II is insulting TO the poor

to have done years ago. Her reception
at first might not have been of the most
cordial character. but any resentments
