IMPERIALISM In CUBA,

Gen. Wood has suppressed LA Dis
custom, an Havana newspaper, be
cause it printed cartoon in which
the Cuban cavalry is being crucifeG
between President Mckinley and Gen
Wood. Senator Piatt, the author OF
the Cuban resolution, has the hysor
and is administering the vinegar. The
cartoon from the standpoint of a
Christian is in bad taste, but the sup
preston does not grow out of that
fact, it comes because a Cuban editor
has dared ridicule the President and
Gen. Wood. The case of Rice, in
Manila, is already matter of history.
The Gar of Russia suppresses news
papers, but the American Gar had
not figured in that role until our I'm
perial government grew to Its present
greatness. The Cubans must recog-
nize that they are yassals, and the
sooner the better for them. They have
snapped masters that is all. Their
benevolent assimilation" must be
complete, whether with or without
newspapers makes little difference,
they must bow to the yoke. Gen.
Fitz Lee said some time ago, 81 tell

Refreshing CANDOR,

The candor of Mr.. John K. Cowan
president, of the B. & o. Ry. toward
citizens of Rockingham and Sheanan
dOah counties, when they visited hin
few days ago to pray" that be build
a railroad from Strasburg to Harri-
sonburg is very commendable. He
politely Informed them that he had
something else to do than build road
at that point. The B. & o. has always
had much else to do than look after
the Valley OF Virginia except when a
game of loot was on, in the way of
and county and city bond
issues were possible. Rockbridge has
some recollection of the polite and de-
voted attention paid her some years
ago. Staunton is still sweltering under
the load laid on her by such a visit,
and neither has anything but a poor
consumptlve, weasened, bob tailed ex-
cuse of a railway to show for it.
Staunton has, however, as a result of
those attentions, a dangerous grade
crossing, which is a menace to life and
trade, and which should never have
oeen allowed in the first place, and
should not longer remain in the second.

QUARLES AND BRAxTON.

They are well known and the utmost
confidence is placed in them by their

vote which selected them for the posi-

Judge Quarles by little less than 100
votes. In the county Judge Quarles

by decisive majorities, so that the

HOW TO COLLECT PERSONAL PROP
ERTY TAX.

There has always been complaint by
land owners that they pay an unjust
amount of taxes, that lands can always
be seen and assessed, while owners of
personal property go in many cases
free. This has been true. The farm
has borne the burden, but now that
We are about to enter upon a new era.
about to frame new constitution,
why not so arrange matters as to put
an end to this complaint and relieve the
land owner generally and the farmer
especially of his undue proportion of
the burden of State taxes.
Admitting that lands and live stock
can always be seen by the assessor and
listed, but that bonds, stocks, bank
accounts and evidences, of debt are
not, why may not the State arrange
for a stamp tax when she frames her
new constitution? If every bond. note,
check, foreign and domestic bill of ex-
change payable IN the banks here or by
individuals, should first be stamped
somewhat after the manner in which
the government now requires them to
be, wherein could the land owner COM
plain. We do not pretend here to
work out the detail of such tax, but
the State now stamps a notarial seal,
that is if notary sets his seal he
must first have stamp purchased on
which to imprint it. Can the system
not go further and bring a revenue on
the property which we have mentioned
and be thus collected? We see no
reason why, and thus may the matter
be at once settled between the land
owner and the personal property
owner, as to which bears the burden
Of taxation. We know of nothing to
prevent this mode of taxation by II
State.

The Danville Daily Register thinks
our point not we'll taken In regard to
persons now holding Office being elect
cd to the constitutional convention.
We cited the Henrico county case
where Mr.. Joseph Bryan was beaten
by the county clerk of that county.
We hope the Register has not fallen
into the error of supposing we grieyed
over Mr.. Bryan's defeat. We had no
tears to shed there. We have not went
over the defeat of any Democratic
straggler. We only deprecated the
nomination of a county officer as a
delegate. This much must be admit
ted, that whether legal or illegal to elect
county or State officers to the conven-
ion, it is bad policy.
