teenth century law in France referred
TO the grinding of grain. This could
only be done at the Government mill
where heavy toll was charged; and i;
was a penal offence to use homemade
contrivances for grinding. 1t Is not
hard to see where the inventive talent
of the country went under this TestriC-
ton. and now much mechanical inge-
nuity was likely to be developed under a
Government which discouraged any ef-
| fort of a man to better his condition by
such means.

them the backbone of the common peo-
pie, the class which has checked both
monarchical power and revolutionary
sentiment in England and in this coun-
try. Those who remained have been
spoken of sneeringly as bourgeois"
The intolerance Of aristocracy toward
the middle class Of the people, and its
oppression of the lower class, grew,
therefore, until the conservative infu-
ence of the bourgeois was nullified, the
patience of the masses was worn out,
and their loyalty disappeared along
with all the reasons for it. In the early
feudal days, when the feudal lord lived
among his people, led them in war,
protected them in peace, and did things
for them that they could not have done
for themselves. he rightly commanded
certain awe, Difference, and service.

Nature has no use for ornament. When

il disappears. But at the bottom of the
whole matter was the system Of taxa

CAPTAIN IMPEY's SENTENCE.

Dentist Bill Incident

The sentence of the cOurt-martial which
tried and convicted Capt. Robert e Imp

Yard was announced yesterday at the
Navy Department. 1t imposes upon him
the loss of ten numbers of his grade. pro-
vides that he be publicly reprimanded.

pay according. Secretary Long in pass
ing upon the case yesterday. approved the
proceedings, findings. and the sentence,
with the exception, however, of that part
of it which places him on furlough for
two years. In his letter to Captain Impey
the Secretary of the Navy deals sharply
with the officer and explains his object in
remitting the sentence by stating that
Impey should not be allowed to remain on
furlough with half pay for two years and
render no service to the Government
Captain lmpey was convicted of scan
dalous conduct in having represented to a
dentist that his bill of $50 must be re-
duced because II required the approval of
the Treasury officials whereas the latter
was entirely personal one. He admitted
that he had made a representation as
charged, but explained that he thought
the bill was excessive for the service rem
dered and that he wrote to the dentist
while in anger. The maximum penalty
for the offence is dismissal but the court
was disposed to be lenicnt.

The Snntingo MedaI.

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE TINES: If you
will permit me to do so, 1 should like
to say a word or two before the powers
that be settle upon the design for the
Santiago medal. II Admiral Sampson
and the gallant officers who served aboard
the T. S S. New York are anxious
to be represented on the face or the back
of the medal that can be easily done if
Mr. Skerrett, the designer. wishes to por-
tray the crowning climax of that modern
naval engagement. which, to my mind,
was the most awe-inspiring episode of
that eventful Sd of July.
1t was the scene of the surrender and
sinking of the Cristobal Colon, when the
Brooklyn, Oregon, and Texas were stand
ing by waiting for the arrival of the New
York, and as soon as she came within
speaking distance Commodore Schley, in
a cheering voice, yelled to Sampson these
words, I'VE have won a great fight"
Sampson made no answer, but looked
at Commodore Schley with blanched fea-
turcs-a look that interpreted in it's full
est sense that oft repeated expression,
Where am | at?'
Several of SIMPSONS aides gathered
around him and in a few minutes the
signal boy waved the following message:
Brooklyn proceed back off Santiago"
In some respects the words spoken by
Commodore Schley on the deck of the
Brooklyn resounded to my ears like the
words of another commodore, and it was
nothing else but history repeating itself.

Medieval TnXnfinn.

In a recent work on the Theory and
Practice Of Taxation" there are some
interesting details of the history of tax
alton in the Middle Ages; and, in fact,
some Of the methods then in use were
not discontinued until comparatively
modern times, especially in France.
Superficial thinkers sometimes argue
that the French Revolution, with all its
horrors and barbaritirs, showed the un-
fitness Of peasants for self government;
but 1t is in fact considerably more of an
| argument against an aristocratic than
against a democratic form Of govern
ment, when all the circumstances are
! taken into account 1t proves, not that
the masses are not fit 10 rule them
! selves, but that long-continued govern
ment by an unchecked aristocracy pro-
! duces a condition Of things in which
| barbaric revolt is inevitable. The nu-
merous checks placed upon the upper
! classes in England prevented things
( from getting into quite as bad condi-
/ tion as they were in France; but even
the British Government had serious
| cause for disquiet in the early years of
! lilt llHcNEtHll century.
! The medieval idea. of taxation was to
| get as much money out of the peasant
as his overlord needed, and little
more, If possible; and not much account
was taken Of the condition of the peas
ant after the tax was paid. The Gov
! ernment failed to recognize the fact
| that all the inhabitants of a country
have ultimately the same interests, and
that what impoverishes one, in the end
impoverishes all They aimed, there
fore. not at taking from the peasant
what he could spare without injury to
his well-being, but at taxing the things
which he could not spare, so as to Sc
cure the payment Of the tax. Thus, the
tax upon salt was one of the most
serious grievances Of the French peas
ant, the law requiring every man,
woman, and child above seven years of
age to purchase a certain number of
pounds Of salt solely for household pur-
poses, a heavy penalty being laid upon
those who diverted any portion of this
salt TO other than strictly domestic uses.
As the Government alone had the right
to manufacture this commodity, and IT
was against the law TO make salt pri-
vately, or even to pasture cattle near
salt marshes or in any place where
they could obtain this necessity, it will
be seen that the Government was fairly
certain Of getting its revenue off salt.
Another medieval notion was the tax
alton of window space, and Of houses
Of more than one story. Instead of en-
couraging thrift and prosperity in the
peasant, the Government made IT plain
to him that the more light. air and room
he was able to have in his house the |
heavier would be his burden of taxa
ton. To people wretchedly poor It
soon became obvious that If they were
to live at all they must live as far as |
possible without windows. The result |
Of this scheme of things is easily to be

Humane Treatment of Anima1..

The Humane Society Of Washington
has been making efforts TO bonnet all
the horses in the city, beginning with
those attached TO hacks. The headgear
to be used resembles the hat used for
horses In the West Indies, and is large
straw affair completely covering the
horses head, and provided with place
for wet sponge in the crown.
This notion may seem absurd to
many people who viii argue that the
horse has been driven and ridden for a
good many hundred years without any
such contrivance, and without anyone's s
seeing the need Of it. True; and valua-
bic horses and cattle have died Of Ill
treatment by the thousand in the last
few hundred years. also. The fact that
an abuse is old does not furnish a rea-
son for its continuance.
Moreover, the conditions under
which horses are now used in cities are
comparatively new The pavement of
city streets is peculiarly hard on the
horses foot, and also on his nervous
system. Anyone can see that by com
pairing the fatigue of walking all day
on mountain roads in the country, and
walking all day over pavements. In the
former case there is simply a healthy
bodily fatigue; in the latter, there is
nervous exhaustion. The heat of the
city is unlike that OF the country. There
is less air stirring, and there is compar-
atively little shade The human in
habitant Of the town is passing in and
out Of buildings; the horse stays in the
street. II may also be noted that the
horse used for driving in a city is a diff
ferent sort of animal from the country
draft horse. All these things tend to
exhaust the vitality Of the animal and
increase his suffering from heat and
other causes. If by the expenditure of
q small sum, or by a little care, these
Eufferings can be reduced, il is not only
good for the horse but profitable for the
owner.
More valuable horses have been
wrecked or killed outright by prevent
able carelessness than by hard work.
Most people seem to think that horses
nervous system is made Of iron and will
stand anything. As a matter of fact. it
Is nearly il not quite as sensitive and
easily demoralized as that Of a human
being. A horse which has been shouted
at beaten, and ILL treated refuses to re-
spond 20 gentle treatment and TO do the
work which may be required of a prop

Yeople add an infinite amount of labor

horses to-a condition in which the only
thing the animals understand is blow
or violent jerk of the reins. Thus the
driver not only has to think for the
horse, but TO eXpend a considerable
amount of muscular energy in beating
and pulling him this way and that 1t
is just as easy, if one begins right, to
teach a horse to obey the slightest sig
nal Of voice or reins as to train him to
mind nothing but the lash; and it is a
good deal easier to drive him after he
Is properly trained. A horse which has
not been accustomed to cruelty has
some moral perspective left, and when
he is now and then made to feel the
lash he knows it means something. He

stop at the word Of command, and come
to be harnessed when called. Thus.
when his master strikes him sharply he
knows there is unusual reason for haste,
and if there is a railway train coming
around the corner, or the stable is on
fire, he can be made TO obey without the
use of extraordinary force.

Little is to be done at the meeting other
than to appoint a regatta committee and

! ceremonies marked all the events at the
! Exposition today. The Daughters of the
American Revolution had a dozen ora
| tors, men and women, to relate its his
tory and glorify it's deeds. Thousands of
| flags were breezed from the building and
! between the pylons of the triumphal
causeway foated the largest banner of
| the Stars and Stripes ever thrown to the
winds.
Gen. Nelson A Miles and Naval Con
structor r P. Hobson were heroes of the
| formal ceremonies which took place in
the Academy of Music. The weather was
cool, but the throng of people that came
in brought so many evidences of the
SUMS intensity that General Miles and the
warriors of other nations who sat on the
stage with him were soon forced to the
use of handkerchiefs and fan. Mrs. John
Miller Horton. the local leader of the
Daughters, presided, sharing honors with
Mrs. Fairbanks of Indiana, president
general
Sousa and his band and the big organ
provided musical treats between the many
addresses. General Miles appeared quite
as delighted with the Daughters as the
Daughters were with the head of the
army. The general wore his most severe
frock coat over a white waistcoat and
grey trousers and magnificent flowing
black tie.

best thought, endurance, and energy of

General Miles went into a history of
the flag and spoke of the various wars
in which it had participated, emitting any
direct reference 10 the Spanish-American
war, presumably out of consideration for
the Spanish-American Republics repre-
scented.
Hobson's reception, when introduced by
Mrs. Horton, was even more demOnstra-
tive than that accorded General Miles.

SENATOR ALLISON HERE
His Chances rs Presidential Posi-
biIity I'm IoO4

| Senator William b. Allison, of Iowa. is
| in town for a few days. merely to look
after few matters of interest to my con-
| stituents,' he said smilingIy in his chsr-
! acteristic way. Mr.. Allison's presence in
town at this duh season naturally
| reviyes discussion of the Presiden-
| tial question, and President McKin-
| ley's announcement that he would not
accept third term brings Allison again
| TO the front as a possible candidate. In
several conventions of the Republican
| party the name of this Hawkeye citizen
and experienced legislator has aroused en-
| thusiasm and brought forth votes on
more than one occasion, too his name has
been well to the front on several ballots,
and it is of record that at least once his
friends had reason to think that he would
capture the nomination.
The Iowa Senator is not party TO this
sort Of talk himself. He says that he is
ever was, and adds that II there was any
chance of his being considered as such he
would be tempted to take the public into
his confidence, as President Mckinley did
the other day, and decline the honor in ad-
vance. Mr.. Allison says, as he has said be-
fore that Iowa is for Governor Shaw, but
the Senator's friends in Washington are
not so sure about this, and they are m
clined to believe that the Iowa Republi-
cans, including David b. Henderson, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives.,
are now setting up the pins that 1t IS
hoped will make Mr.. Allison the strongest
candidate before the next Republican con-
vention.
OF course Governor Shaw, Henderson.
and everybody else in the HaWkeye state
will be for Allison If it were deemed wise
to present him to the convention no mat
ter what the aspirations OF other Repub-
lcans in the State may be. At least
three Presidents of the United States have
offered Allison the Secretaryship of the
Treasury, and urged him TO accept but
he finds his position as Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations more TO his
liking, and while he has persistently de-
Clined 10 accept office under any Presi-
dent, he has been the guiding right hand
of more than one.
In talking yesterday about Industrial
conditions throughout the country, Sena-
tor Allison said that prosperity appeared
to be widespread and that his own State
of Iowa is as prosperous or more so than
the others. He says that men of brains
are in charge of the great corporate in
dustries of the country and that he thinks
the combinations of capital will increase
as the country grows. These combina-
tons would have been impossible ten
years ago, he says, as then the aggre-
cations of capital that are now cOntroll-
ing the railroads and other vast business
interests could not have been secured.
Mr.. Allison had little to say about the
prospect of tariff legislation at the next
session of Congress, but apparently he
does not see The necessity or wisdom of
the subject.
