The truest sign of the popular .indigna-
ton in the present grave crisis is found
IN the small measure of liberation which
is extended to those who since the as
sault on him have spoken unkindly of
the late president. That Cleveland ed
itor would not have received much more
than his deserts had he been severely
handled by the mob against which he
was protected by the police.
No man of good taste or human feel
ing could have continued to assafl any
political enemy, however vile, after such
a sad visitation had befallen him as that
which befen the late president.
Indeed, no one not a monster of cruelty
at heart and thoroughly Invested of ali
patriotic instinct could have spoken un-
kindly of the chief officer of this nation
as he lay stricken to death.
We doubt whether, for instance, the
public, in it's future estimates of Sena-
tor Wellington's private or public worth,
will ever divest itself of the dislike and
contempt which found such free express
sion around that gentleman as the re-
suit of his recent indecent reference to
Mr.. Mckinley.
The popular heart is large one. The
popular sympathies are often too easily
excited; but, as in the case of a man Of
ordinarily strong human attachments,
the great public when greatly outraged
in its sensibIties is greatly aroused.
The old Roman maxim which enjoins
that we shall say nothing but good of the
dead finds very natural extension among
a people as truly genuine in their in
stincts as the Americans The man who
is deeply stricken is, to the average Amer
lean, as the man dead, so far as I'M
kindness of word or deed is concerned.
And when the president OF the United
States lay struggling against the advance
of disease the man so insensate as to
Rssail him presented himself to the Amer
lean popular Imagination as fiend
deserving immediate destruction.
We can all fittingly enough deprecate the
disposition toward mob law But it is mere
false sentiment to inveigh against it
in a case of this kind. With the ruler of
great free people lying PROSTATE in his
death struggles virtually in sight of the
entire nation it would be more than hu-
man that any American could be expected
to silently endure his subsection to in
suit or contumeIy while in the pangs of
death.
1t is altogether right that such feeling
should prevail. 1t is the very breath of
patriotism. No American can love his
country, no matter what his party politi-
cal attachments may be, who will not re-
sent as personal outrage anything which
tends even indirectly to palliate the cow
ardly and foolish crime which removed
from earth one of the best men that
ever breathed.
AS long as men take such an occur
renee personally to heart it may be safe
ly assumed that the heroism of the race
is still there, latent and inactive in
times of peace but ready to flame up in
the stress of national emergency. More
than that, it shows that the Individual
concepts of manliness and courage are
preserved, when the coward voice raised
to malign the dead or the suffering. finds
Itself checked amid universal execration.

A CLEAR STATEMENT.

Boston Herald.
There is no need in constituting the
words of Mr.. Mckinley to read between
the lines. If certain of his statements
last spring were suggestive and tigura-
tive merely. none of his statements
made at Buffalo are open to such a
comment We are told that our country
is in a state of unexampled prosperity,
the like of which the world has never
seen before, but this throws upon us the
serious duty of safeguarding these happy
conditions; that the vast and intricate
business which has been built up cannot
be maintained, still less Increased, by
any narrow or sordid policy. The fact
that our capacity to produce has de-
veloped so tremendously forces upon our
immediate attention the need of more
markets. The president insists that only
a Broad and enlightened policy will en-
able us to keep what we have, and by
no other policy can we get more.

that all taxation is for purposes OF gov
eminent. For protection of life, liberty.
and property the individuals of the
community agree to pay each his share:
this is at least the theory. Ordinarily
the heavy burden. falls on property,
personal and real. 1t follows that the
tax for protection should be paid where
the property is situated
Mortgages which are for all purposes
realty, should net escape their just bur-
den, for the protection vouchsafed the
security, is enjoyed by the mortgage es-
tate But, says one, this would mean
double taxation Not at all. Deduct
from the value. of the property the
amount of the mortgage and assess the
balance to the holder of the fee. Then
assess the mortgage as if it were realty.
This would avoid double taxation and
compel the owner of the mortgage to pay
his tax where his property enjoys the
protection of the law.
The money lender says if his mortgage
estate be taxed he will raise his rate
of interest. Well, what of it? That is
purely business matter between the bor-
rover and lender Missouri and CaIifor-
mia have both a system of mortgage
taxation in vogue and up to date there
has been no special disarrangement OF
the economical universe. Neither did
capital fold its tent like the Arabs ana
quietly steal away, as some confidently
asserted it would
Gov Odell attempted last winter to put
through the New York legislature
mortgage taxation bill which was unique
if not practicable. 1t provided for
stamp tax on all mortgages. Mortgages
without the proper stamps affixed and
cancelled were to be void. This scheme
made the mortgage holder a tax de-
tective as well as tax collector Could
such law be universal among the states
it would work like charm, but it would
be open to the serious objection of caus-
Ing double taxation, unless the system
VI dSSSSSulSlll Oul1IH6Q ABOVE were 1Ol-
lowed.
If the Dispatch can nominate one rea-
son why the owner of a mortgage Should
not pay taxes on his property it might
inspire some confidence in the position
which it takes in favor of free mortgages.
The commission and the legislature
may blunder in dealing with this phase
of taxation. Judging from the Dispatch's
forecast the commission certainly Will.
Any attempt to tax mortgages without
regarding them as real estate will be a
hlunder. The remedy is not in doing
away with mortgage taxation, but in
starting it right. An attempt to tax
mortgage securities as personal property
has been and always will be a failure
When the instrument is the evidence of
the property interest it is very convenient
to hide it or assign it to an aunt in Yer
mont.

THE NEW REPUBLICAN, POLICY.

Rocky Mountain News
President McKinley's speech at Buffalo
gives additional indication of the inten-
ton of the Republican party to make at
least an apparent change of front on the
tariff. The slogan is to be the 'reeipEpc-
ity' urged by Blaine. 1t will be Inn
pressed upon the people that the party
will seek to open the markets of the
world to American manufacturers. thus
affording employment to increasing num-
bers of werkmen
In this, as in everything else, the proof
of the pudding will be in the eating. AS
the trusts and the money kings control
the policy of the party and Mr.. Mckinley
is only their mouthpiece, 1t is a safe
wager that Republican revision of the
tariff will not be such as to endanger the
plundering capacity Of the trusts in the
home market

THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

New York Post.
We do not assume, however, that Mr..
Mckinley has been or is now inconsis-
tent in his views of our trade policy. It
is quite admissible for anybody to say
that the times have changed, and that
we should change with them; that the
policy of restriction and exclusiveness
which was proper a dozen years ago is
no longer desirable; that system which
was intended to build up certain manu-
features by tariffs, and enable them to
compete in the worlds markets, Is Meth
er justifable nor profitable after the
manufacturers have proved their abil-
ity to undersell foreigners in foreign
markets. 1t is true that Mr.. Blaine,
whom President Mckinley quotes with
something like reverence, held these doc
trines in respect of reciprocity as far
back as $780, and that he smashed his

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
Atlanta Constitute.

Atlanta Constitution.
The position taken by President Nc
Kinley in his speech at the Buffalo ex-
position sounds very promising, but 1t
lacks the essential element Of support
from his own party. Any bill amenda-
tory of the Dingley tariff law passing
the gauntlet of Republican votes would
be Unacceptable to the people at large.
The admission, therefore, that tariff
legislation has overleaped itself. and that
customers are needed for a permanent
business, comes as a concession to the
strong feeling now existing. When the
balance of trade doubled the exports. and
then trebled them, nothing was more ap-
parent to the intelligent observer than
that an unhealthy condition had been
reached-one from which the buyer would
seek to extricate himself.

MANILA, Sept 15.-The profoundest
grief is manifested by every class in the
community over the death of President
Mckinley. Gov. Taft has issued a proc
lamation which explains to the Filipinos
that while the death of Mr.. Mckinley is
an irreparable individual loss, it does not
alter the stability of the government, or
change the course of the administration.
This was considered necessary because
the Filipinos thought Mr.. Bryan would
succeed him, having received the next
highest number Of votes in the electoral
college.
Flags Were ordered to be half-masted
for q month, while all employees of the
civil government are wearing mourning
bands on their arms. All the foreign
consuls, wearing their uniforms, called

their condolences.
