London, Aug -. II was well said in

tion at the meeting Of the International
that II was Impossible to grt Il tribunal
on this earth to which nations would
be willing to trust questions affecting
their vital interests. Yet the discussion

hitra'ion treaty on the lines of that re-
jc"t"d by the United States senate in
1891, with some mUdtical ions, might
be accepted IN th" next two or three
years. America is represented not only
by Harrison, but also by trpha. Brain
crd aud other well known jurstS. while
the representation is largr and notable
Of England. France, Denmark, iicl-
giuln and Canada.
In the discussion of the marriage
question it was admitted tina, II univpr-

possible, and il was urged that some
formal ctItmouy should always be in
sisted upon.
IN Ih" matter Of taking evidence
abroad the prevailing law Of England
and America which "ompcls the EN-

II was urged that such testimony

As strikers are fashionable and as
everybody is going on astrike for more
wages and a less number Of working
hours, is it not time for the taxpay-
ers OF this city to go on q strike and
demand lower tax rate. Why should
real estate be singled out to bear all
the burdens OF taxation? Why should
. mechanic he taxed unjustly for the
privilege Of saving his money and
purchasing bone for himself and
family? Why should an unjust high
tax rate be fastened upon the owners
Of real estate in this city? For these
reasons we advocate strike being in
augurated among the taxpayers and
On non-partisian basis. For these
reasons it Is hoped that Republican
taxpayers will! assemble in the rooms
Of the Democratic League on Tuesday
evening and voice their protest against
Increased taxation.
We we're told that the millions
spent by the Street and Sewer Com
missioners for making Improvements
to our streets and putting down
ewes would be paid proper
tionately by our children, but the full
burden has evidently fallen on the
fathers with a vengeance and from
the present outlook the fathers s as

ments which have to be renewed be-
fore they are paid for. 1t is well that
representative men are heading the
protest, and not men who have been
known as politicians, for the people
will now know that it is devoid Of
any political significance. We have
no desire to help either party
get any advantage in this agitation,
as 1t is purely business affair be-
tween the owners Of Wilmington real
estate and the city father S and poll.
tics have no place in the meeting or
protest that is being made by our cit

dollars could be saved in salaries paid

we'll do without. Then, all junket-
