PRICE OF WAR AND CONQUEST.

The total appropriations for military
and naval purposes made by the Re
publican Congress aggregate SPA
265,24S. This means that the head OF
the average family of five persons must
pay this year about SIS as his share of
the taxation necessary TO meet TINS
military outlay. The New York World
quotes William Pitt as saying:
ITO levy direct tax of per cent is
dangerous experiment in a free coun-
try, and may excite revolt; but there is
method by which you can tax the
last rag from the backgand the last bite
from the mouth without causing a muir
muir against high taxes, and that is to
tax great many articles of daily use
and necessity so indirectly that the
people viii pay them and not know it.
The men who are responsible for
these enormous appropriations act
upon the theory that because federal
taxation is not direct taxation the
American people will be slow to resent
ment. The Federal method of indirect
taxation is somewhat slow in reaching
the individual, or rather it should be
said that the individual is somewhat
slow in realizing, but the burden exists
and the individual pays his proportion
of taxation although he does not read
lily recognize the burden. When we
see the government expanding billions
of dollars in order to maintain I'M
American policies we do not realize
that someone must foot the bill. We
do not seem to appreciate the fact that
money does not grow on trees The
present administration appears to have
no concern for the value Of money, and
it is squandering dollars at a reckless
pace-Bryan'S Commoner

Democracy Revive Readily.

Unless a great change has suddenly
come over the character of the Ameri
can people, the present decentralization
OF the opposition party affords not the
slightest indication of what its condi-
ton may be a year or two years from
now, let alone four years. The quick
revivication of a defunct opposition is
a familiar phenomenon in American
politics. The example afforded by the
Democratic party which rose immedi-
ately from the crushing defeat of 1872
to successive and sweeping victories in
the elections of 1873. 1874 and 1876 has
been frequently pointed out-Spring-

starrering the British TAX

III = IL ~ ~ I7'1J Ut
IL the beginning, the British Ministry
estimated that the South african war
would cost $50,0000O0. Already Great
Britain has paid $407, 100000 on ac-
count of this war, and the estimate for
the war expenses during the coming
year amounts to $350,0OO000. 1t will
be remembered that Dom Paul said
that if Great Britain conquered the
Beers it would be at cost that would
stagger humanity. The cost in human
blood has already staggered human
ity," and the cost in dollars and cents,
now rapidly nearing the billion dollar
mark, Is bearing down heavily upon the
British axpayers.-Bryan's Commoner.

Good Chance for a De felt

The bill to reduce national taxes goes
into effect on the LIST of July, with the
eXceptio of a few paragraphs which
take effeL- Immediately. The reduc-
ton effected by the bill is estimated at
SAC, O00,000 1t is $4,000, 900 more than
the reduction recommended by Secre-
tary Gage in his report of last Deem
her, and at least $40,000,000 more than
he now thinks can be spared in view of
the exceeding liberality of Congress.
The facts justify the conclusion that
the general government will need more
rather than less revenue in the imme
| diate future The most important of the
facts tending to this conclusion are
these.
During the last calendar year the
revenues of the national government
except from postage and sales of public
lands, amounted to $574, 100000, round
| figures. The postal revenues are less
than the postal expenditures, which
also are omitted from the treasury
statements. Mr.. Gage was recently
! quoted as saying that the revenues I'M
der the laws as they then stood had
reached the maximum, and that a
shrinkage rather than an increase in
the customs receipts was to be antici-
pated. Other treasury officials wore
quoted to the same effect.
BY the bill which passed the receipts
of $574000,000 for the last calendar
year will be cut to 1884, 100000 for the
next fiscal year, for which appropria-
tons of at least $63O,O00,O0O have been
made There is an excellent prospect,
therefore, of a deficit of not far from
$100,000,000 unless the Republican Sen
ators were greatly mistaken about
the appropriations. But there is
surplus of nearly $148,000000
in the treasury. exclusive of trust
funds. The next Congress- however,
will either have to lay more taxes or be
less prodigal than the present ore has
been And the latter, with shipping
bounties and a costly canal to provide
for, will be no easy matter.

Director Norman of the census bureau
has made n thorough investigation of the
census returns of Maryland and cannot
find any evidence of fraud outside OF 81
Mary's County. There, however, Is Il
nasty case, and it is painfully apparent
that the population returns were pauded
by politicians for political purposes. Al
least two and probably more of the enum-
orators have made confessions. 81. Mary
County is in the black belt i'll Maryland.
The population has fallen off since the
war, and there was Il considerable sur
prise among Maryland people VINO HOOK
out for such things when an increase was
shown by the census returns. by the
original and accurate returns the p0puia-
ton of the county appeared to be IT'LL,
but this was not sufficient for two mem
bers of the Legislature, and, in order to
prevent the loss of one of their Repre-
sentatives, politicians found it necessary
to increase the population to $4,000 or
more. BY making up supplementary
schedules of 524 dead and departed, the
ponulation was increased to 1876 and
the two members of the Legislature were
saved. This seems to have been the only
motive for the fraud. butit is likely to
prove expensive, for the penalty for pad
ding the census returns is fine of 3d.
600 and two years imprisonment. In adj
dition to this the crime of perjury has
been committed by the several enumera-
tors 524 times, with two years in States
prison for every offensc, or total OF
1,04S years, to be divided among nine
enumeratOrS.

Gen. Miles has returned from a visit ia
Cuba, and especially the Isle of Pines,
where he went to make some Observa.
lions with view to the establishment of
a military post there. He describes the
Isle of Pines as a young paradise, with
a fine soil, pure water, healthful climate
fine harbors that can be easily fortified,
and an ideal place for a military garri-.
son. Gen. Miles expressed his gratitica-.
ton at the improved conditions in Cuba,
and the prospects of the people of the
island, and he is of the opinion that as
soon as the relations between Cuba and
the United States are fully defined a pc
riod of unprecedented material activity
and prosperity will begin. He says that
Havana is as clean and as healthy as any
city in the United States, that its water
supply is much superior to that of Wash
ington and that its general condition is
improving rapidly.

There is a mutiny among the army
chaDlains. Under the reorganization bill
each chaplain is assigned permanently to
a particular regiment and must follow
the fortunes Of that regiment like any
other officer. Heretofore there have only
been thirty chaplains for the entire army.
and they have been assigned to Luty
where their services were supposed to be
needed most. With that liberty Of selec-
ton some Of them were able to keep
agreeable posts and the new arrange
ment is offensive to them, because they
will be compelled to accompany their reg
iments wherever those regiments go.
The new order went into effect last
week, and each Of the thirty chaplains
was assigned to a regiment. Some Of the
regiments, in fact most of them, are on
duty in the Philippine Islands, or soon
to 90 there.

There has been a panic among the
brewers throughout the country over a
rumor that the Secretary OF Agriculture,
by an obscure paragraph in the last APP
preparation bill, was authorized and di-
rected to act as censor over American
beer. The remonstrances are so lond
and so long as to suggest that an in
spection is needed because if their beer
was all right the brewers would not be
so anxious to prevent it. There is no
particular occasion for alarm. however,
because there is no such paragraph as
they suspect in the appropriation bill,
and the Secretary of Agriculture already
has authority to inspect and condemn
any food or drink which is exported OF
used in commerce between the States,
provided he has reason to believe that it
is injurious to the public health.

The new army bill provides for the
appointment from civil life of about

will owe their commissions rather to

fitness of their own. Commissions in

Executive BoardOf Ana|gamated Association AdjouTns With-
 out Taking Action
SETTLEMENT IS FAR AWAY
Non-Union Men Were Kept Away From the Mckeesport Tube Works By Strikers, and Officials Will
 Ask for Protection.

Pittsburg. September s.-The last efforts general executive board of the Amalga- mated Association adjourned this evening without date, and without either accept ing any of the peace propositions which have come indirectly from the United States Steel corporation, or making any counter propositions, according to the cf- ficial statement.
 The semi-off1cial report is that the proposition secured for the Amalgamated Association through the intervention of the representatives of the National Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory and that the entire matter of arranging for a set- tlement was left with President Shaffer. The board in its sessions of three days has been clamoring for a settlement, but satisfactory terms and means were not at hand and tn secession resolved themselves into an informal discussion of the situa- tion.
 At the close of the meeting of the Ma tional executive board this evening, Pres ident Shaffer said:
 ,. The board has adjourned and the out of-town members will probably leave for their homes tonight. No peace proposi- tion has been received and none made.'
 Will Not Go To New York.
 Still he added, that he or no other mem bers, of the board would go to New York during the night to submit a peace prop osition. saying that he would be at head quarters as usual tomorrow.
 The meeting did not adjourn in nigh good feeling, yet the members were ayerse to making statements.
 It was stated by some of the members that the adjournment had left matters practically as they were before the meet ing had been called and that the strike must go on as before.
 Today completed the first thirty days since the American Sheet Steel Company the American Tin Plate Company and American Steel Hoop Company began their attempt to start the union plants of the country In the face of the Amal- gamated Association strike. Aside from the Clark plant of the Steel Hoop Com pany and the upper and lower mills of the Carnegie Company, where the at tempt to render the strike effective was have, during the month, succeeded in placing in operation seventy-six mills in the union plants. single turns Indica- tions are that the number will be dou- bled within the next ten days If the strike Is not settled before that time
 While the Tin Plate Company has put up the most aggressive fight of the three the Steel Hoop Company has been most successful In the eastern district and in the West the Sheet Steel Company has met with the larger success.
 At McKeesport this evening the strik- ers following up their advantage of the morning in keeping the workmen from entering the National Tube works. gathered about the gates of the plant in great numbers and warned the few men who came out not to return to work tomorrow morning. It Is generally be- lieved the company will appeal to the sheriff or Governor within forty-eight hours for protection.

Police Will Discuss lt.

Louisville, Ky, September 9.-What should be done with outspoken anarchists? :? How should they be treated? In case of an assault upon the chief executive, what should be the course pursued and the punishment inflicted? These are the questions which are to be discussed by the police chiefs in annual convention in Louisville next May.
 Colonel Haager, former chief of police of Louisville, who is on the board of direc- tors of the association, today received a letter from the president of the associa- tion asking him for an expression of his views on the anarchist question. Each chief will come to the meeting next May prepared to discuss the subject in all its phases especially from the view point of suppression of anarchistic outbreaks These ideas will be drawn up in the form of resolutions, which will be sent not only to Congress, but by each chief to State representatives. The police are determin- ed to do all in their power for the sup pression of such persons as Czolgosz. A national bureau of Identification soon to be established at Washington is expected to go far towards aiding in this work. Ths bureau of Identification is the result of the last convention of police chiefs.
