BRITISH BURDEN OF TAXATION.

The people of this country sometimes
complain of the burden OF taxation and
vet It is a trine compared with that which
our British cousins are compelled to bear.
In times of peace taxes are high In Eng
Ind, because an immense amount OF mo-
nev js needed to maintain the navy, which
il by far the greatest in the world, and II
considered indispensable to the safety OF
the empire Then, too, military posts
have to be maintained at many distant
points involving 10 small outlay, and IN
addition to the ordinary expenses oil the
government provision has to be mace Tor
having the interest on an enormous puonc
debt. When war comes tie taxes have 10
be increased as a matter OF course. Inc
South African war has proved more ex-
nensiye than MIR. Chamberlain or any one
else anticipated in the beginning and 1t ls
adding largely to both the funded debt
and the annual taxation. The income
tax in articular must be made much more
onerous. 1t will amount next year to
about seven and half per cent, 30 that
tho man who has An income of thousand
dollars will have to hand over seventy-tive
dollars of it TO the government, and NJ
whose income is Two thousand dollars
must contribute hundred and fifty dol
Lars to the public treasury and others in
proportion. Thep, too, be it remembered
this ia only one form of taxation. 1t If
surprising how patiently the British peo'
ple are enduring this burden. No wonder
the British public is growing tired OF the
South African war, and that the govern
ment is coming in for great deal Of cap
tious criticism. 1t would seem to be good
time for Englshmen to emRrate and it 10
probable that the heavy rate OF taxation
has good deal to do with the desire OF
aspiring young men to seek their fortunes
in other countries like the United States
where they will not have to contribute 30
large percentage of their earnings to the
support of the government.-Lynchbu
News.
Is it not strange that after painting such
q picture of the "British Burden" the
News should be an advocate Of the eco
nomic policy of free trade and the advo'
cate of income tax, and insist that such
policies should be adopted in the United
States. After the experience Of our British
cousins, would it be wise to change our
plan of raising revenue by protective tariff
duties and a wise internal revenue law
like the one adopted when the war with
Spain began?

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER IA, 1901
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

1t is laughable to read the comments OF
oar Democratic exchanges on the election
held in this State last week. They pre-
tend that 1t was a great triumph for De-
mocracy and a vindication Of the policy OF
the new machine. The result OF the elec'
ton in our Judgment was an emphatic
protest against tie methods OF the virgin
ia Democracy and nothing saved 1t from
an ,enominious defeat but the most
extreme utilization of the corrupt meth
DDS that have been practiced for many
wears. The State Democratic ticket has
been counted in by the smallest vote the
party has eyer received. 1t is admitted
that less than half of the voters went
to the polls and voted on election DAY
After the frantic appeals made by the
Democratic press and orators to the white
voters to turn cut, their failure to respond
is very significant. They are evideht'y
tired of Virginia Democracy, especially
Democratic methods.
There is another significant fact In that
the Democratic ticket won its large ma
iorities in the negro districts. The great
white counties of the State either gave
Republican msjorities or were secured to
the Democratic ticket by such narrow
margins as to show what would have been
the result if the election machinery had
not been worked for all it was worth
This was done in the Ninth District, 9th
erwise every county. except Craig, would
have gone Republican
The Montague movement was called
reform movement, and the Constitutions
Convention is pronounced the came thing
, If the result of the late election is claimed
as yindication of the Montague crowc
and of the Constitutional Convention, tn
Democracy is satisfied with a questionable
vindication.

INCREASING CHURCH FUNDS.
Queer Method Suggested by an Eng
Iish ParsOn for Replenishins
His Treasury.

Clergymen in charge of small and
Door congregations frequently find
themselves hampered by want OF
funds with which to carry on their
work, but it is doubtful if even a from
tier missionary, who is generally ac-
knowledged to be the most hampered
of American ministers, would adopt
the method for increasing his re-
sources which an English parson is re-
ported to have pursued. This clergy
man is in charge of a church at Mill
wall and is quoted as offering to give
any West end church thorough
spring cleaning, the payment to go to
his own church funds. In his letter
announcing his offer the clergyman
saws, according to a paragraph in
Scottish journal: "With the practical
experience I have acquired l can now
beeswax and polish floor, or varnish
floors with anybody, and my wife is
Al at painting and decorating"
The wives of some American clergy
men, particularly in frontier stations,
could and do tell tales of hardship and
trial, but it is safe to assume that
no matter how low the church treas
ury might be they would hardly be ex-
pected to aid in its replenishing by hir-
ing out to do church cleaning, even il
it were simply painting and decorat-
ing" and not the regular scrub work.

A pIANo-TUNER's TROUBLES.
Some Things He Found I'm the Neg
Iected Instrument of Par
ticular Housewife.

"There are housewives and house
wives, no question about that" said
the communicative piano-tuner. 1.-The
other day l went to- spink-and-span
house uptown. The woman was one OF
the kind that prides herself on doing
her own work. She paused moment
to polish the bell handle, on which L
had thoughtlessly imprinted thumb
mark, before allowing me to pass in,
and even then she instructed me to be
particular in wiping my feet, and
scowled at me because / set my bag
of tools on she polished oak seat of the
hall rack. Noticed that she stopped to
pick up a bit Of thread on the parlor
carpet, as 1 walked toward the piano,
and I kind of knew what to expect.
"You just ought to have seen the in
side of that piano! Ihad no more than
lifted the lid when off went into a
fit of sneezing. The dust was thick in
there, and no mistake. 1 scraped around
in it awhile, trying to locate the mech
anism, and then I said: Madam, I'm
sorry to trouble you, but I shall need
a dustpan and brush
"She pretended to be indignant at
first, but she colored up like fire,
brought me the dustpan and brush and
helped me use it. We found all sorts
of curiosities in that piano." continued
the piano-tuner, according to the Phil.
adelphia Record. spiders webs, sew
eral defunct cockroaches and one dead
fly, but when we came across the relics
4 of a mouse's nest the woman's equa'
nimity failed her. She marched out Of
the parlor and didn't bother me any
more until I was ready to go. Meet
such cases often? Oh, yes; once in
{ awhile"

OLD MONEY.
Ragged Bills and smooth Coins Put
Into Circulation at the Pam
American Fair.

There are more ragged old bank
bills, government notes and ancient
silver coin that have been put into
circulation in Buffalo during the Pan
American exposition than have been
seen for quarter OF a century, says
the New York Times. A searcher
after the cause found many cashiers
of shows and other places who could
give explanations. One money taker
of midway performance said: Its
simple enough. Farmers from the
interior of New York state, Pennsyl-
yania and Ohio have been attracted
to the exposition because they could
see G. big show cheap. They take
their hoard Of old silver coins and
small bills, which have been out OF
circulation and in their stockings and
teapots for years, and turn them
loose here. 1t is hard on the city
folks, but the farmers would be in
suited if you refused their old COIN"
A cashier of German resort said:
"There are thousands of Germans
who came to this country and work
ed hard for years, saving their small
change. They come here and spend
old dimes and quarters saved on the
farm as if they were five-dollar bills"
Another shrewd observer said:
"You see, there are thousands OF
people who come to the exposition
who do not fully know the value OF
coins. Many INSCRIPTIONS people are
making it a business to collect all
the battered coin which would be re-
fused in New York and send 1t here
to be aplmed off on the 'hayseeds
and foreigners. Plugged coins which
would be refused in New York and
which would have to be sold for
large discount find their way here
and pass at full face value. Then,
again, there are many Canadian peo-
pie who have battered United States
currency which they want to get rid
of. It seems as If all the old garrets
of this state had been racked to find
old bills and coin to be put in circu-
la ton during the exposition" The
custom is established at the exposi-
ton not to refuse battered coin, be-
cause 1t is so easy to pass it through
the cash drawer to the next unsus-
pecting visitor.

Sequel of the GoebeI Murder.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Governor Durbin, of Indiana, has just
repeated the refusal of the late Gov Mount
of the same State, to honor the requisition
of Gov. Beckhsm of Kentucky and surren.
der Ex-Governor Taylor to be tried in the
latter State as an accessory to the murder
of William Goebel. Ex-Governor Taylor
was Governor of Kentucky when Goebel
was assassinated and later was deposed
from the office by a Democratic Legisla-
tue, although he had received an undoubt-
ed majority of the votes cast. After the
murder of Goebel he moved to Indiana,
where he has since resided, every requi-
sition for bis person on the Governors OF
that State having been refused.
The Constitution of the United States
says that "a person charged in any State
with treason, felony or other crime, who
shall fec from justice, and be found in an
other State, shall, on demand of the exec
utive authority of the State from which he
fled, be delivered up to be removed to the
State having jurisdiction Of the crime. "
But every Governor has believed that he
was clothed with some discretionary pow
er in such cases. The Governor, for in
stance, who should surrender a colored
man on a requisition from another State
knowing that colored man would be
seized by mob and burned alive would
be considered equally guilty with the
lynchers. In the exercise of this discre-
tionary power Governors have frequently
refused acquisitions, and an examination
of the Taylor Gaze shows that Governor
Durbin has ample reason for his refusal.
There is no prospects that Ex-Governor
TAYLOR would be accorded fair trial in
Kentucky. The conduct Of the Goebel
trials in Judge CantrilPs court have been
the most ludicrously partisan that any
State has witnessed, The whole purpose
has been to convict the defendants, nc
matter what the evidence might be. Al
Governor Durbin said to the Governor OF
Kentucky in refusing the re-
ouisition: "The monstrous rulings and
instructions of the court, with its vicious
partisanship, further represented by 9
jury unanimously made up of Goebel Dem
Gratis, is of itself sufficient cause for fefus'
al of your request" And he added: 81

One FastidiOus.

The "chuck wagon under the SUI
pervision of the "wagon-boss," had
early in the day conveyed the camp
outfit to cool spot under clump
of cottonwoods. A clear little stream
flowed lazily along between the cot
tonwoods and the box-elders, which,
with the fresh, fower-laden breath
of the plains in their faces, and the
inspirinQ works of nature about
them, caused the guests of the cow
punchers to forget for the time the
dust and heat and turmoil OF the
town, says a writer in Criterion.
And such a dinner! Ranchers
know a good thing and name it ac-
cordingly, though the result is often
q fearful and wonderful commingling
of slang, localisms, and foreign
words. There was spread, picnic
fashion, a menu which If writ upon

There were "frijoles," (beans), and
only such beans as one gets at a
ranch; there were "fry" and its in

mean bacon and gravy, and there
were "spuds," or, in palmer English,
potatoes. The biscuits were real

"slush" intended them to be-great
