ENGLAND TO SUE FOR PEACE.

The sort of an Agreement President Kru.
ger Would be willing to Make.
London, (By Gable. "A despatch from
Winston Churchill says that from conversu.
tions with members OF the Transyaal cxecu-
tive at Pretoria he learned that the Boers
began the war with trepidation, but that
President Kruger Is now confident Great
Britain will soon sue for peace.
In the highest Transvaal circles, Mr..
Churchill asserts, there Is serious talk of a
compromise, by which Great Britain would
cede the territory now occupied by the
armies OF the two republics, pay an indem-
nifty Of e2O, 600 ($lOO OO0,O0O) and ack-
nowledge the complete independence OF the
Transvaal.

Taxation without Representation,


In the debates over the Puerto Rico
bin the Democratic members of the
house. particularly Fitzgerald and
Champ Clark. have had a good deal TO
say about taxation without representa-
ton" Yet while the Democrats are u.s.
ing these sounding phrases. the policies
which they are advocating are exactly
and Numerically in opposition to the
very principles to which they profess
their allegiance. The tax imposed upon
the products imported from the island
of Puerto Rico is not taxation without
representation, within the meaning Of
that phrase. II the phrase has any rel
evancy in relation to this class of taxa
ton, then the whole world, which sends
its products to the markets of the Unit
ed States, and pays the Dingley duties
at the custom house, is being taxed
without representation. The American
foreign country where import taxes are
imposed. are equally subjected to taxa
ton without representation. All of
which is, of course, nonsense. In other
words, 1t is Democratic logic.
The policy proposed by the Democrats
for all the island possessions. however.
does directly and in terms provide for
taxation without representation. They
insist that the same federal taxes be
imposed in the island possessions as are
imposed in the states of the Union; tina.
the people of Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines be compelled to pay the federal
stamp taxes. the federal imposts. and
the federal customs dues, and that the
moneys collected be turned into the fed
eral treasury, This Is what extending
the constitution over the new possess
sions" means. This necessarily would
follow the establishment of n territorial
of the government framed for the or
ganized territories, for which statehood
is contemplated In the near future. II
the imposition of one stamp tex was con-
sidered by the fathers of this country
sufficient ground for revolution. what
would be the effect of extending the
whole system of federal revenue collec-
tons over the island possessions which

presentation in the body which levies
the taxes?
The Democratic party leaders must be
judged by the policies which they adj
vocate. not by the sounding phrases
which they have in their mouths. The
policy which they advocate is in direct
contradiction to the principles on which
they attempt TO Justify their action.
Their position Is irrational, Illogical and
absurd. They do not attempt TO de-
fend 1t by serious argument; but fol-
lowing the practice of Mr.. Bryan, they
wrap themselves up in words IS in A
garment. and care nothing for facts.

one of them was entitled to take up
claim. However. under the decisions.
this is a matter between the alien and
the government: and no private indi-
vidual can interfere so long as the gov
eminent does not elect to disturb the
alien in his possession, although of
course he could not proceed to patent
his claim. The Laplanders have sold
their claims TO Mr.. C. D. Lane. who.
in addition to being a millionaire mining
man. IS chairman of the national Free
Silver Republican committee, and in
that capacity has been accompanying
Mr. Bryan in his stumping tour through
California.
As all of these claims have been re-
located by American miners, Hans
brough has introduced in the senate an
amendment to the Alaska code bill pro-
should be void. The effect of this
amendment would be to deprive Mr..
Lane of the claims for which he has
paid a very large sum of money: and
the silver senators, particularly Stewart
and Teller, have rushed promptly To
his relief and are strenuously attacking
the proposition that he be deprived ~
his interest. Mr.. Lane is the one cor
sricuous millionaire who has attempted

mitted that the claims which he now
desires to hold were located in violation
of the express terms of the law. and that
individual miners lawful entrymen, are
new seeking TO acquire these proper
ties, in accordance with the mining
laws.
Here is a case squarely presented for
the consideration of the Democratic or
ators who are looking for political cap
ital out of the Cape Nome business, and
their attention is earnestly invited TO
it. OF course the fact that Mr.. Lane
is an ardent free silver leader. and that
the free silver senators are earnestly
fighting his battle. viii have no effect
in abating Democratic zeal on behalf
of the poor miner and against the min
ing millionaire. The vote in the senate
will be watched with much interest.
That Mr.. Lane has certain and very
considerable equities in the matter does
other capitalists.

have already paid a tax to the govern

this amount at least can be spared with

present, the petition Of other interests
