Honest Taxation.

Just now there seems to be some ap-
prehension lest our tax ferret system is
going to drive money out of Iowa.
Large numbers are given to indicate
the number of dollars that are gong
out of the state, because of the attempt
on the part of the state to get what is
Justly belonging to it. Stated in plain
terms, it means that q certain class of
monied men, being no longer able to
defraud the state, by perjuring them
selves, are investing their money in
other states. That the writer of these
articles are opposed to the system is
clearly evident. The reason for their
opposition Is obvious. The tax ferret
system may not be the best that could
be devised. 1t may be wrong in prin-
ciple, and 1t may have bad influence
educstionally upon the people, but it
has this in its favor, that its object is
the right one and the motive that
prompted its enactment pure one.
We have never heard of 1t affecting, in
the smallest way, the man who obeyed
the spirit and intent of the law regard
ing taxation, nor do we believe there is
such q case on record. On the other
hand we have heard much complaint
from those who have been evading the
law on this point, and by such evasion
have not been bearing their share of
the public burdens,
We do not see how course that per
mits man of means, the man who is
receiving most at the hands of the state
to throw the burden OF the public ex-
pense on the moderate holder and wage
earning class of the country, can be de.
Tended from any standpoint. Itis not
any wonder that there is unrest among
the people when they fully realize, as
they do, that such condition exists? 1t
is true that the present law may drive
some money out of Iowa, but at the
same time 1t will bring to light and to
public use thousands of dollars that
have heretofore been hidden away, and
from which the state receives nothing.
And if this law will have the influence
that 1t was intended to have, that of in
suring an honest listing of the property
in the state, we can easily afford to lose
even few hundred thousands that we
did not did not know existed before.
Iowa is too great to feel such a loss, es-
peclally when good is to result from it.
We may have better plan later on to
bring about the same results, but until
we do we are in favor of rebuking this
dishonest practice with our present
means, even If we eloose something from
the stste which we believe hardly prob
able.

THE ROYAL WEDDING.

The union In marriage OF Hollands
sovereign. Queen Wllhelmlna, and Duke
Henrik of Mecklenburg Schwerin, Is
said TO be genuine love-match, such
as does not often occur In royal cir
Giles. And yet 1t Is thought probable
that 1t may have great political sig
nlflcance. It is believed 1t will bring
Germany In closer political union With
Holland. inasmuch as by this marriage
the Dutch queen contracts close re-
latlonshp with one Of the influential
German families. This view. II is said,
is entertained in Germany, where there
IL desire 10 include Holland in the
great German union.
The Hollanders. however have so far
refused 10 listen to any overtures in
this direction; and the young queen
IL above all Dutch. She Is one of the
people. Their history, their traditions
their aspirations are hers, and in all
probability she would, with the fine In
tuition Of woman. scent German an
nexation schemes. even II attractlvely
wrapped up in the affections OF hus-
band, and resent them stubbornly,
Queen WiIhelmlna can never become
to the world what the late Queen Vic
torla was through the medium OF a
great world power. since Holland neces-
sarily must remain a country of sec
ondary Importance In the family OF ma
tions. But to her people she can new
ertheless be an angel Of peace and
benevolence. and she appears to have
commenced that mission under auspic-
ious circumstances Should her hus-
band ever lend himself 10 plots against
Dutch independence, We fancy he would
find Holland rather uncomfortable
place Of residence, and he would rue
the day when, TO marry queen, he left
his own country. But We will hope
that he has no higher aspirations than
10 retain the love he has won. Then
there should be a happy life before the
young queen and her consort.

ENOUGH HAS BEEN SAID.

The News" Is in receipt of numer-
Gus communications on the subject OF
the Governors veto message. While We
appreciate the sentiments OF our CORE
spondents and believe in free thought
and free speech on all public questions
we are under the necessity OF setting
aside these letters and arguments. In the
first place because we could not posi-
bly, publish them all, and II would be
difficult to discriminate, and In the Sec
ond place because the subject Is worn
almost threadbare, ane but little IL
anything new can be added to It. The
Legislature will, no doubt, carefully
consider the whole matter, and the re-
sponsibllity now rests upon that body.
The law vests certain powers with the
Executive, who Is required to exercise
them according TO his best judgment.
II also gives authority to the Leglsla-
ture to override those powers, by two
thirds vote OF all the members elected
to each House; the authority given In
each instance is legitimate and be-
slowed by the Constitution. For these
reasons We think the public can afford
to wait with patience for the final de-
cislon. And there should be no undue
excitement over the Issue, That will
avail nothing. If there had not been so
wide discussion OF the question, we
might give place to some Of the letters
now before us. But seeing II has been
presented in so many phases, we think
II prudent. at least for the present, to
come to stop. Let the Legislature
now take up the dispute and settle II II
possible, and let the public await calm
ly and quietly the final disposition Of
the matter.

RESPECTFULLY DECLINED.

On Saturday we gave place TO letter
on the subject Of Mysticism and Chris.
tan Science" written by an exponent
In this city OF the views of the follow
ers OF that cult. We also explained
editorially, the application of the term
mysticism to the doctrines OF that body
This was not done by way Of aspersion
or disrespect The term was shown to
have q theological slgnihcation well
understood by students and writer's OF
various sects and denominations
We are now in receipt Of another long
communication from the same cores
pendent, who, being an ardent disciple
Of the so-called Christian Science,
naturally desires TO give his views pub
liclty, and to advocate and defend what
he believes to be of value to the world.
or course II he can keep up discussion
through the Deseret News. he will gain
an audience of many thousands Of peo-
pie whom he could not reach by other
means, But we do not think proper to
indulge him TO that extent.
We have no desire to enter into de-
bate on the subject in these columns.
We gave him space on Saturday, be-
cause he claimed TO have a grievance
against the News In our use Of the
term mysticism as applied to Christ
ian Science" and that we have suili-
ciently explained.
By mysticism" we do not mean the
doctrine OF healing, by the process
which the sect he belongs to uses for
the purpose. and which is the chief and
real attraction II possesses, but the
theories II holds as to spirit and matter
and deity. They are properly classed
under that term. This does not prove
or allege that they are false or that
they are true. That is another question
entirely.
Those notions are not new They
are old and even antique, and have
been brought out anew, associated with
the phenomena made to do duty In
their behalf. and years ago were met
and refuted by real scientific argument.
as they may De now by the evidence Of
t1e senses which are given to US as a
guide In material things,
II we publish letters In favor OF
christian Science which is a mis-
homer as II is not science at all, we
should have TO show their fallacy and
enter into an Improbable discussion, to
the exclusion OF much more important
subjects to the general public We
therefore decline to make the Deseret
News a vehicle for the dissemination
Of the opinions OF the writer, and do

Not a few Of the decisions Of Chief
Justice Marshall's period were In vim
dication of the reserved rights of the
States. though as n whole they tended
to enlarge the Federal power. dis
tinctly new era in the history OF the
court was inaugurated in 1896, when
Roger b. fancy, Maryland's great jur-
list, became chief justice. Under his
presidency the decisions OF the court, as
a whole. from 1895 until the outbreak
Of the clvil war. leaned toward a strict
construction OF the Constitution and the
unfolding of the reserved rights Of the
States. Chief Justice fancy rendered
a decision greatly modifying and, to
some extent, reversing Marshali's de-
cison in the Dartmouth College case
His most memorable decision, however
was in the bred Scott case. for which
he was abused without sense or justice
by anti slavery champions.
