4 REWARD OF REBELLION.

1t was typical of the south that Vir-
GINA in it's law intended to disfran-
chise the negro voter should ex-
ernpt from the educational test to be
applied all confederate soldiers or their
sons. The new amendment to the Vir-
ginia constitution provides that all
voters shall pay a poll tax of $1.50, shall
be able to read or understand when
read to them the constitution OF their
state, and shall be able, in their own
handwriting, to make application for
the privilege to register. From this
provision the. confederate soldier and
his sons are exempted. They may be
unable to read and write, but in their
case illiteracy is no bar to the exercise
of the elective franchise. There are
few democrats in Virginia who were
not at one time in rebellion or who are
not the sons of men who were. To the
northern mind the fact that men are
descended from fathers who levied
treason against the national govern
ment, or were themselves afield against
the existence Of the flag they now shell
ter beneath, will seem queer qualifi-
cation for special privileges Of fran
chise under the government they at
tempted to destroy. Even the memory
CT treason is an open sesame to the
Virginia polling place.
The Virginia plan eliminates negroes
from the list of voters. No matter what
educational qualifications the coloreG
voter may possess, he will find 1t diff
cult to convince the whites who could
be guilty of this law of his ability to
understand the constitution unless he
holds a democratic ballot in his hand
during his examination. In the latter
case the most illiterate and disreputa-
BILE negro will undergo a complete
transformation. He will for the mo-
ment become the peer of the men who
raised the rebel yell behind a line Of
charging bayonets forty years ago.
The whole act, like those OF SINH
lar character in other southern states,
is fraud pure and simple. It was con-
ceived in fraud and will be executed
fraudulently. This vicious and hope
lcssly disreputable legislation is
chargeable directly to the democratic
party. It's brains Its reliable MAORI
ties, Its only hope OF success lies with

From all parts of the state the graf
flying report is made that the wages
of rural teachers have been increased.
The teachers are class of workers
that never strike, are underpaid and

the prosperity of the country and the
beneflcent effects of an honest admin

The product is to be obtained from the

explorations have disclosed the fact
that the caves are mines of inexhausl-

these caves would be for a Turn Verein

REApY FOR Their EplTAPHs.

Mr.. Cleveland, once a well known
aemocrat, and MI. Bryan, at present
with the Commoner, are talking aw-
fully about each other. Mr.. Cleve-
land speaks indirectly of Mr.. Bryan as
dreadful dream" and Mr.. Bryan
counters with representative OF
predatory wealth. 1t really does not
matter what either one says of the
other, or of any one else politically.
Both are back numbers. The organi-
cation to which they are attached must
rid its councils of both or cease to be
an organization. The south, If Meal
lister is it's prophet, is preparing to
leave Mr., Bryan and his theories and
get into the Hill German band wagon.
Mr.. Cleveland must be satisfied with
the exploitation of his theories by the
above named gentlemen. 1t is useless
for him to ask or expect anything al
the hands of his party. Bryan Will
fight the control Of sound money pol
icies in the reorganization OF the de-
1nocracy, but the gold democrats will
assume command and Mr.. Bryan must
come into the RECOMMENDATION camp
and be good or take his chances as a
guerilla. In either case the finish of
his political force and ambitions is
easy to discern. Mr.. Cleveland has
long been a ghost, but has failed to
realize his defunct condition. Mr..
BRYAN is not dead as yet. but the hour

the stamps, he says, Searles opened fire
on him and emptied his revolver. The
postmaster says he Immediately picked
up a revolver near by and returned the
fire. with the result that Searles is
dead. The postmaster declares that
Series never said word to him, be-
yond asking for the stamps. and that
he is entirely ignorant Of his object in
endaa ynri1le to kill him.

vote has been solidly against liquor

cit is asserted that it will raise the in
terest rate to make money and mortgages
pay taxes. Possibly it may increase the
interest rate somewhat to enforce the law
as to money and mortgages. In California
where they have constitutional provision
that real estate mortgages shall be assessed
to the owner of the mortgage, and the as
sessed valuation of the real estate reduced
by the amount of the mortgage, two differ
ent claims are made by those opposed to
the assessment of mortgages: One, that
the interest rate is increased to an amount
sufficient to make the borrower pay the
taxes; another, that an agreement be-
tween the borrower and lender is insisted
upon by the latter, requiring payment by
commission or otherwise, sufficient to re-
imburse the lender for the amount of
taxes which he is required to pay upon
the mortgage 1t is a fact, however, as
shown by the last census that the interest
rate in California is lower than in adjoin-
ing states, though this may be in part due
to independent causes. After much discus
sion on the subject, Missouri adopted at
ment similar in effect to that of Califor-
MIA. WHATEVER MAY BE THE EX-
ACT FACT AS TO THE EFFECT ON
INTEREST RATE AS BETWEEN THE
BORROWER AND LENDER, THE
PRINCIPLE is TO BE RECOMMEND
ED BECAUSE IT TAXES EACH MAN
JUSTLY ON THE RECORD. THE
MORTGAGOR HAS TO THE EXTENT
OF THE MORTGAGE PARTED WITH
AN INTEREST IN THE REAL ES-
TATE, THE MORTGAGE HAS AC-
QUIRED THAT INTEREST, AND
EACH is TAXED ONLY UPON HIS
PROPORTIONATE SHARE"
With the encouragement of the COVER
nor's utterances on the subject, Mr.. Frost
consulted with the members of the tax
commission, who had been giving the mat
ter good deal of study, and as result
of their conference the bill known as No.
2s4A was prepared. 1t was written by
Mr.. Curtis of the tax commission with
the approval of Judge Gibson, the head
of the commission, and upon its passage

of mortgages and mortgaged real estate"
In my Judgment this bill is in conflict
with the provisions of section l, article 8,
of the Constitution of the State, which pre-
scribes that the rule Of taxation shall be
uniform"
The bill provides that the interest Of the
ton be deemed an interest in real estate;
that in case valid agreement shall be
made by the mortgagor to pay all taxes on
the land then the inter- is Of both the mort
gage and mortgagor shall be assessed and
taxed together against the mortgagor.
No other rule than that now provided by
estate A just and true valuation is to be
put upon 1t, the same as If it were unen-
numbered. The effect of this would be to
assess real estate as 1t has been heretofore
assessed, and to exempt the mortgage from
taxation. The form Of mortgage always
used contains an agreement on the part of
gagged property may s safely D be ' ASSUMED
that this form would not be changed in this
respect If this bill were to become law.
Although the bill contains the provision for
separate assessment of the interest of the
mortgagor and that of the mortgage when
agreement to pay the taxes is not made by
would be wholly imperative because the
mortgage will also have the power and the
interest to exact such agreement from the
Another section o; the bill declares that
its provisions shall net apply to or affect
mortgages executed prior 20 the time this
in the bill on January 1, 1902. 1t follows,
IL the agreement to pay the taxes is made
by the mortgagor, that mortgages executed
prior to January /, 1902, are to be taxed
as personal property according TO the exist
ing rules of law, while those made subse-
quent to that date are wholly exempt from
taxation, because the real estate is to be
taxed at Its true value both before and
after that date, and after that date the
mortgage executed Is made part of the
real esate for assessment purposes, On
the other hand, IL a mortgage should be
given after January 1, 1902, and agreement
to pay all taxes on the real estate is not
made by the mortgagor, then the real estate
is to be assessed at Its true value less the
true value of the mortgage but II mort
gage shall have been executed prior to that
date, and none since, upon the same parcel
of real estate. II Ia to be assessed at its
true value without any reduction whatever
on account of the mortgage, which also Ia
to be assessed at its true value
In my judgment II Is not permissible I'M
der the constitutional provision quoted,
either to tax mortgages executed prior TO a
certain date and to exempt those executed
after that date, or to tax real estate upon
which a mortgage has been executed prior
to n certain date without any reduction on
account Of the mortgage debt and to deduct
from the true value of similar property sim
ilarly situated the value of mortgage exc
cuted subsequently to such date In making
assessments for taxation purposes.
