Some Of the officers aboard the So.
lace were very much surprised on ar
rival at Page Page to see that the fine
tapa cloths for which they had been
paying from two to five dollars apiece
here were to be had for from twenty
five cents to three quarters of dollar
the piece. Most OF them invested In
tapa which they will take to the States
to make presents Of. They say that
the natives do not care SO much about
money In Tutuila as they do for
clothes and soap, or trinkets and that
much better bargains can be made
with shirts and other things OF wearing
apparel than with coin of the realm.

AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM OF TAXATION
IN COLORADO.

The house of representatives Of the
Colorado legislature has adopted the
Bucklen bill which means radical
change in the system of taxation in that
state if the measure becomes a law.
The bill provides for constitutional
amendment to introduce the Australian
system which is based upon the Henry
George single tax theory. The bill
leaves it optional with each county to
avail itself of the privileges of the
amendment. The three main provisions
of the amendment are:
1. The general assembly shall have
power by law to exempt any or all per-
sonal property and improvements on
land from any or all taxation All laws
exempting from taxation the whole or
any part of the full cash value of any
rights of way, franchises in public ways,
or land, exclusive of the improvements
thereon, shall be void, except as other
wise provided by this constitution. Any
part or parts of this article of the consti-
tuition conflicting with the provisions of
this section, shall be and the same here
by are amended so as to conform hereto
and harmonize herewith.
2. Once in three years, but not
oftener, the voters of any county in the
state may, by vote, at any general cleo
tion, exempt or refuse to exempt from
all taxation for county, city, town,
school, road and other local purposes,
any or all personal property and i'm
provements on land; but neither the
whole nor any part of the full cash value
of any rights of way, franchises in pub
lie ways, or lands, exclusive of the i'm
provements thereon, shall be so ex-
empted; Provided, however, that such
question be submitted to the voters by
virtue of petition therefor, signed and
sworn to by not less than one hundred
voters of such county, and filed with
the county clerk and recorder, not less
than thirty nor more than ninety days
before the day of election.
3. The rate of taxation on property,
for state purposes, shall never exceed
four mills on each dollar of valuations
but the provisions of this section shall
not apply to rights of way, franchises in
public ways, or land,-the full cash
value of which may be taxed at such
additional rate as shall be provided by
law, after exempting all personal proper
ty and improvements thereon from such
additional rate of taxation.

"Our diplomats make rather unim-
pressive appearance, I fear," he said on
another occasion, Sin comparison with
those Of the Old World at the great pub
lie functions. realized this one day at
reception at the White house, when
the diplomatic corps were there in full
regalia, and I was acting, in sense, as
master of ceremonies. Senator --
had brought along his little boy, whose
eyes, noticed, seemed to come back to
me curiously after every survey Of the
room. Presently overheard him ask
his father in hoarse, childish whisper:
PA, is that man there too poor to buy a
dress?'
Speaking of diplomats, reminds me
that Mrs. Hayes, who, as you remember,
was staunch teetotaller, argued with
me for an hour over the first dinner the
president was to give to the foreign rep
resentatives. I tried to make her see
that it would be no sacrifice of principle
on her part to set wine on the table, but
only the civility we always show to
guests by recognizing their ways of
living at home.
I'm afraid, she declared, that the
ministers will have to make up their
minds to be sociable with water
"And shocked her dreadfully by an
swering: Mrs. Hayes, I have never
known people to be sociable with water
except in bath
"Did Mrs. Hayes carry her point?" he
was asked.
Eyes, indeed,' he responded with a
dry chuckle. "She had the dinner as
she wanted it and the water flowed like
champagne.
Once, when twitted on his small size
by statesman of the strenuous type,
Mr.. Evarts retorted: "That remark
proves what have always asserted
that in your eyes, measures were more
important than men,"

with his habit of stringing out whole
paragraph without a break, by the use
of parenthetical clauses, he said, cheer

One day young woman dressed in
the height of fashion, and with most
self satisfied air, called him out of the
senate for an interview in the marble
room. She explained her visit as due to
desire to benefit his children. Mr..
Evarts was all attention in an instant.

AN UNsoLvED QUESTION.

Bryan truthfully says that the cap
ture of Aguinaldo does not decide the
question of Imperialism. That is q
question that must be decided by the
American people in the future. The
Filipinos may be beaten and subdued.
They may submit to overwhelming
force, but that does not decide whether
we had moral right to force them to
such q submission, and whether this
new policy may be good for ourselves
or not. Might does not make right.
When the war in the Philippines is
over the American people may be able
to more calmly weigh tie question Of
right and justice, may consider
whether it may not be dangerous to
our free institutions to adopt 3 colon
ial system on the basis Of monarch
ism. When our soldiers are no long
er facing hostile Filipinos q man may
be able to speak against q departure
from our system Of government with
out being accused Of giving aid and
comfort to the men who were fighting

SURPRISING The PRESS.

Gov. General Wood, of Cuba, sup.
pressed a newspaper in Havana last
Friday for containing an objection
able cartoon. The editor and the
artist were arraigned before a court
which ordered them to be committed to
Jail pending Indictment. They pro.
tested on the ground that under the
law no person could be sent to prison
on such complaint until indicted.
The judge admitted that the prisoners
had the law on their side in that point,
but refused to give them the protection
of law because they were arrested on
the complaint and by the order of the
military government, although the
same was contrary to law. Verify,
we are giving the Cubans strong en-
couragement to continue under our
protectorate. SURPRISING the press
is hardly the way to convince the
people that we mean to give them lib
erty. The worst feature of it seems to
be that Wood made it personal
matter. The dispatches say that
after raking the editor over Wood
'agreed to revoke the order if the
editor would give written statement
that the cartoon was political, not
personal, against Wood and McKin-
ley. The editor complied, and the
office of the paper was reopened, issu-
ing tonight, though late. The pris-
oners were released on bail, Editor
Corondo in 81, 900 and Artist Castell-
amos in $780,"
That is, personal caricature of
Wood and Mckinley was too grave an
offense to admit of letting the prison
ers out on bail, but when it became
merely a political cartoon bail could
be allowed. An insulted governor
general could set the law aside, but
when his wounded vanity was healed
by an explanation the law was allow
ed to take it's course. :,
The next day the Cuban constitu-
tional convention by vote of "a to
rejected the Plat amendment, thus in
sisting on absolute independence.
They had received an object lesson in
military government.
