1,ca,,. un DD.oCl;aCY,

we have received q letter from DR.. j..
+. BRYANT. who for years has been one OF
the nest prominent physicians and Dem
ocrats in Southampton county, in which
he says:
Permit me to say that on the Conven-
ton question the policy of The Times
accords entirely with my own views, and
generally SO on political questions, al
though not always. For instance, the ire
ouent mention of the names of Cleve-
land and Bryan as future leaders OF the
Democratic party. (Of course as to the
latter, The Times is anti-Bryan). We
have been voting for these two men for
the past twenty years for the Presidency
They represented the two extreme wings
of the Democratic party, and should
lrcnceforth be regarded as things Of the
past.
Cant you get in line now, by taxing
that greatest of Democratic leaders-and

claims to the front2 / believe we could
have won with him last year-and be-
lieye We can w-n with Il m in the next great
contest l see no reason why all true
Democrats couldn't unite on him
If DR.. Bryant has gotten the impression
that The Times is booming Cleveland for
the Presidency, he is in error, The Times
frequently refers to Mr.. Bryan on the
one hand, and to Nr. Cleveland Oh the
other, because they are men very much IN
the public eye, but we have made no Sc
cret of the fact that David Bennett
Hill is our man for the Presidency next
time. No longer ago than yesterday we
said as much in these columns. We be-
levc that the Democrats ought 10 get
together. and we can see no reason why
they should not do so, but we do not be-
Hevc that either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr..
Prsan is the man to harmonic the two
elements, each representing as he does
an extreme. Mr.. Fill would be entirely
acceptable. we feel sure. to the so-called
Sound Money Democrats, and he would
be equally acceptable, we think, 20 the
great body of so-called Silver Democrats.
This was aibundantly demonstrated at tbs

and in giving him one Of the most re-
r.ari-abie ovations that was ever wit
es:ed upon 4 similar occasion. With
Mr.. Bryan out of the race the delegates
10 the Convention representing both
Wigs Of the party could easily have
harmonized on Mr.. Hill and nominated
hin, by acclamation.
Mr.. Hill is reported to have said that
he is not a candidate FOR the nomination

ocrat to refuse TO serve, if the party
calls for him.

= TAX PROBLEM.

The question of personal property tax
is claiming the serious attention Of the
authorities in several States. and well ii
may. The interest rate is being gradually
lowered from year to year while the
tax rate, especially in mum ipal ties is
steadily on the rise. Nearly all good
per cent. bonds are now selling at pa
and it is hard to get a perfectly safe in
vestment that will paya higher rate than
per cent. a glance at the quotation Of
bonds. which we print from day to day in
the financial department of the paper,
will show this to be the fact.
The tax rate in New York city has
averaged for the last three years 265 Pc
cent on the assessed value of personal
property. We will suppose that a widow
in New York has invested her fortune o.
$4,000 in railroad bonds bearing pc.
cent interest She will, the efore, hav.
an income from her investment Of Si00 q
year, out Of which he pays into the city
treasury $e65. leaving Sl35 for herself.
This is simply ruinous 1t is not so ba>.
in the cities of Virginia, but the tax rate
in these, State and city. ruLs from SD
to nearly 81 on the hundred. In the cit.
OF Richmond the rate for municipal an,
State taxes is S1.S0 on the hundred,
that a widow in Richmond with q FORUM
of $4,000 invested in per cent. bonds
will pay $50 a year in taxes, leaving 81
for herself. OF course there are invest
ments which, pay better, but, as we HAYS
said, they are not regarded as perfeott,
safe
Under these circumstances it is not sur
prising that persons who hold property
OF this character should be disposed to
dodge The tax collector. Tax dodg.ns
cannot be justified upon such a plea, but
we are speaking of conditions and not OF
morals. 1t is very clear that there mus
the personal tax question. The govern
ment is entitled to sufficient revenue
from property-owners in it's domain to
pay current expenses and interest on the
public debt, but when it comes to taking
two-thirds. or one-half, or even one-thirl.
of a widows net income for government
purposes, it smacks too much of confisca-
ton to be tolerated
