Governor Mclean believes in equal taxation if he means all he says in his message, and he. like every right thinking man. knows that if every in- dfvidual paid his proper share, it would be much easier for those who are aI- in every walk of life, whether in so- ciety or church, in social or business life. always number are to be found who allow their neighbors to pay for governors message on the taxation question: 1.-The tax rates on real estate would be lowered if the law required every man to make oath to his list, either in person or by his accredited agent, under q severe penalty for ne- glect. The present law in this regard is a direct invitation to the rich man to neglect to make out his list, lock his safe deposit box and leave the good natured assessor to add 10 per cent to what he can find outside. A law that would require the judges of our courts of probate to examine all inventories of estates of deceased persons and as- sess and collect any tax that the own CTS evaded when living, might be a wholesome warning to those who think that.it is perfectly proper to let other people support the government. If q law could be framed that would by its terms secure the appointment of q sci entific and broad-minded student of fiscal matters as tax commissioner, this officer would. in a short time, be worth many times. his salary to the people of Connecticut.

ssIn America" says a staff writer of a New York paper, '.this cry for re- constructed democracy comes from two quarters. The first is MT Cleve- land and the gold. democrats, who voted both this time and last for NIT Mckinley. They want a democratic party they can vote for. They have no objections to Mir Bryan's opposition to imperialism, but they dislike his at- titude toward the money power in American society and politics.. In the recent campaign they had much to say of the silver question, but they all ways returned with most of junction to his 'arraying classes against classes and finding fault with the rich capitalists who are using their money. to monopolize production and control elections. Now, democratic party which should hold its tongue about such tendencies in our national life would be no democratic party at all. It would not be the party of lief ferson or of Jackson, both of whom
 
 held exactly this attitude of watchful- ness and criticism with reference to- ward the growth of unauthorized pow CT in the hands of class of citizens, to the imperilment of the liberties of the people at large. What else was the meaning of Jackson's long war on the! Bank of the United States. for which he was so abused at the time, but for which he is now praised by all judicious historians? Now MT Bryan offends these city democrats by his maintaining exactly the Jacksonian attitude toward trusts and banks in our time. Jackson had but one trust to fight-a money trust-and he earned our gratitude by destroying it. What would he have done if he had had to fsce such collection of them as now exixts in this country? What will his narty do in the face of such facts Oh. avoid setting classes agains' claSaeSt'

Republican senators appear to be in no hurry about the revenue reduction bill. Perhaps it is true that the ad- ministration would like to see this bill fail.
 Ex-Congressman Phillips of Penn sylvanla, first vice-chairman of the United States industrial commission, and republican, said of Senator Han- mas pet bill: ssThe ship subsidy bill now before congress, if enacted into law, will enhance the fortunes of ship owners and shipbuilders of the United States at the expense of the taxpayers.

Columbus, O., May 25.-The special
train ON which Governor George K.
Nash and party Travelled to San Fran
cisco to attend the launching of the bat
tleship Ohio arrived this morning at $50
o'clock over the Hooking Valley rail-
road. The party had been reduced to a
considerable extent since it left here, but
all were in good spirits. Governor Nash
looked old and broken and was so weak
that he had to be supported as he walked
to his carriage. The governor himself
said he would soon be all right, but his
intimate friends express doubt Of a
speedy recovery
Members of the party say the reports
of friction with the presidential party at
Los Angeles were exaggerated.
Governor Nash explained the matter
by saying the Los Angeles people were
overwhelmed by the unexpected arrival
of the two Ohio parties. Julius Whiting
of Canton, a close personal friend OF
President Mckinley said the Southern
Pacific officials had cleared the road Of
all trains for the presidents train and
held up the Ohio party for fifteen hours,
which caused a vigorous complaint but

A question of royal etiquette over which
society has been greatly exercised has
been satisfactorily settled by the king.
1t was thought that King. Edward, when
he came to the throne, might not con-
slider it advisable to accept invitations
of his subjects following Queen Vic
toria's almost unbroken precedent, con-
filming himself to entertaining them.
This, however, proves not to be the case,
for the king has accepted invitations
and has met large parties at the houses
of Georgiana, Countess of Dudley; the
Marquis of Londonderry, Lady de Gray,

Society is also treasured in other re-
spects by seeing his majesty playing
