\ representative of the baseball nine
OF the L. :. s. Manila called at The
Advertiser office yesterday and asked
that a challenge be issued on behalf or
the team to- play any baseball nine in
Honolulu. The gunboat's nine was
considered one OF the best In the Phil
ippInes and won long series OF good
games out there.
Speaking to a reporter yesterday the
representative OF the team said:

nOlulu ball teams. So good, In fact.

The desire for Immortality Is funda-
mental in human beings, and daily we
witness the pitiful attempts of weak
humanity to perpetuate its deeds and
opinions in marble. We read this
morning of a philanthropic gentleman
down the State who has recently given
q part of his worldly goods to charity,
who has ordered his monument with a
lengthy inscription giving certain pc
culiar views of life. death and immor-
tality. 1t contains no new idea, though
the manner of expression is certainly
peculiar and original. 1t illustrates
human inability to add to the sum of
knowledge about the eternal mysteries
The source Of life we do not know, and
beyond its terminus the land is
shrouded in mystery. The philanthro-
pist win soon sleep under that monu
ment. and in a few years the passerb!
will pause and smile at the peculia'
phraseology, and only ask, who wa
he?"

COLLECT CITY TAXES

Those special assessors of Whining
ton seemed to have been impressed
with the idea that their chief purpose
was to raise the valuation on all prop
critics We know OF instances where
properties were in the market at the
value of the old assessment and which
were raised to three times the original
figure. In certain instances unim-
proved lots have been raised 200 per
cent, although the selling price is
that OF the old assessment. This Is
inequitable and unjust and It should
not be allowed to stand. There ought
to be some standard in making these
valuations. In some cities the assess
ment is based on a two-thirds value;
in others a valuation of one-half We
think the best rule is to follow the
plan of full valuation. but certainly it
should not exceed this.
This special assessment has been
made in order to secure more revenue
without increasing the tax rate. IF all
the taxes now due and owing the city
were paid, the need of this abnormal
assessment would not be so apparent
Il has Deen the custom of the collectors
to be lenient with persons who from
any cause wished to postpone the day
of payment In certain cases there are
properties that have not paid a tax in
three years. and consequently the city
is kept out Of the use of this money.
Any equitable tax system contem-
plates the payment of all taxes when
due. Sentiment should not be known
in the matter. To relax this rule in
favor of a class puts an additional bur
den on another class.
In county affairs this is being RENE
ldled Under the direction of the Levy
Court Mr.. Rettew is enforcing pay
ment OF the sums due the county, and
lif Council would direct the city col
lectors to collect all taxes within a
month. il could be done. This neglect
is not charity in the proper sense; We
know of many poor men who are OBJ
iecting to a high tax rate that has beer
Imposed because persons able to pay
taxes. and who own property, have
been able to put off the collectors viii
excuses. The collectors hesitate I,
incur the ill-will of the people, bu
i liz Council should direct them to ge
: these taxes. and to use every powe
5 they possess, Council would have tn
( use of a goodly sum of money, with
. out which it is embarrassed.

The Negro Minstrel
le Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The Chicago Tribune chronicles the
late deaths of four old-time negro min
strels as THE end Of the genuine plan
tatiOn period in this kind of entertain
ment We are net so sure of the gem
uineness in the case. The later songs
such as Roll On, Sweet Chariot and
the rest, had probably more of the
real negro music in them; but the fun
of the negro minstrel period was when
"Old Dan Tucker" 20, Susannah' and
"Old Uncle Ned" held the stage. Then
the comical burnt cork artist was de-
velOped, and those who impersonated
the negro in this way were genuine
artists; but their "cOlored gemman''
was the negro outside of plantation
life rather than in It.; his comical pc
cullarities were exaggerated and ne
was cleverly caricatured, rather than
realistically represented. A good deal
is lost in his passing nevertheless.
Who can forget the fun that there was
In the Bryants, the Christys and the
Pells Of those days2 From among
them developed one of the most popu-
lar comic opera artists now on the
American stage.
