A LIBERAL PARTY.
A Convention at Stockholm Decides
to Organize One.

A Convention at Stockholm Decides
to Organize One.
Sweden is finally 70 have a liberal
party. At convention recently held
at Stockholm, at which all parts OF the
country were represented, it was de-
cided to organize Liberal party.
While the members of the rigsdag
have been divided into numerous
groups, there has been no opposition
party in Sweden since 1772. a condition
of affairs which has naturally created
much comment, inasmuch as Sweden
is one of the most enlightened and
progressive countries in the world.
Naturally, there have been many
rigsdag members with very liberal. not
to say radical, views; but there has
been no party organization, such as is
generally recognized as such. The
present members of the rfksdag who
have voted in opposition to the gov
eminent are prominently identified
with the new movement.
The plan Of organization is pat
termed after that Of the Liberal party
of Great Britain, and there will be a
national committee, with branches In
every ZACH or district.
That the new party will be heartily
supported and will WELD a great infiu-
ence from the start, seems certain.
There is no lack Of Liberal political
sentiment in Sweden, but its influence
has not been SO strongly felt as II
might be by reason of the failure OF
concerted action, which lack of organ
ization has hitherto prevented. Now
that the machinery for effective work
has been supplied, the world may hear
of some active politics in Sweden.
Such questions as the extension of the
elective franchise to women and 9TH
ers will doubtless have capable and
determined champion In the new par
| ty.
Though the relations between Swe-
den and Norway are. for the time be-
ing, most satisfactory Norway will be
greatly interested in the new party, as
the most liberal men in the brother
! kingdom have usually been very
friendly to Norway and disposed te

eign state. rather than depenedent OF

TO REFORM TAX LAWS

The accommodation Of Tho Corporation
commission, stated in brief lsewher in
today's paper, contemplate what the
Commission believes are necessarv and
sweeping changes in our tax laws. The
most radical change proposed is that no
state tax be levied upon real estate and
personal property, but that the State de-
rive its revenue from a tax on incomes
franchises, inheritances, and Iiccnse.
mat would be a wide departure from the
present method prevailing in North Car
DINA, but the trend everywhere is in that
direction.
The recommendations Of the Commits
sion, made after long elaboration and
careful investigation, is entitled to the
thoughtful consideration Of every thought
ful cltizen and legislator. That some
OF the recommendations seem to he a
radical departure from methods hereto
tore prevailing ought not to weigh
against them. There is no doubt that orr
tax system needs reforming. The recon-
mendaticns of the Corporation Commis-
sioners, acting as a Tax Commission are
entitled to great weight.

a F OBITUARY.

A perfect obituary is the rarest pro-
duction of the pen of man. The maxim,
Say nothing but good of a man after he
is dead" warrants an extravaganza of
praise that gives little value to obituaries
or Biographies. Samuel BOwIes was one
great editor who spat upon that maxim,
holding that the death of a prominent
man was the occasion for an honest es-
innate Of his life, and that the editor
had no more right to suppress the fail
ings IF a dead man than his virtues.
He brought down upon his head the male
dictiOrs of the Massachusetts press by
his plain and severe estimates of Choate
when that able jurist died. BoWles was
too severe, perhaps, but it is refreshing
once and awhile to read the truth set
down in its completeness.
Today we print an obituary of the &c
centric Col. Tom Ochiltree by the genius.
Henry Watterson. It is as perfest an
obituary as has appeared in the Ameri-
can press.

We reflect upon it, that during all the
years the State has enacted stringent
regulations governing saloons, and has
permitted any man, anywhere, at any
time, to run a whiskey still without
regulation, license, police supervision, or
taxation. The distillery in the country,
away from police protection, is a hun

The truth about the Pennsylvania coal
mines is coming out 1T last and It af-
fords food for thought. 10 say the least
\ fireman has testified before the An
thracite Strike Commission that he re-
ceived s1-57 for a day OF twelve hours.
and his assistant s125. on every other
Sunday when ne and his assistant shifted
from day TO night work. they We're com
PEELED to work twenty-four hours az a
stretch without relief. They were of
duty one day every two weeks. thus
working six DAYS one week and eight
DAYS the following week.
one Of the commissioners asked the
witness what would happen Il he should
fall asleep during the long shift OF
twentZ-four hours.
We'll. replied the fireman. II I slept
long enough the fans would stop. gas
would accumulate in the mines, and If an

killed; that all"
Here i a state OF affairs TO contem-
plate for a minute.
What the coal strike has cost the peo-
pie OF this country cannot be estimated.
and perhaps it is well that it cannot.
that IS, well for the peace and harmony
OF the country. We know that it has
directly cost the taxpayers the round
sum Of $50. 0oo, for Congress has just
passed a bill appropriating that amount
TO pay the expenses Of the Anthracite
Strike Commission.
And why all this trouble and expense
to the whole country? Just because a
handful Of coal mine owners refused TO
, make a few concessions 10 make life
more bearable TO men who work seven
days a week. twelve hours a day. and
at times twenty-four hours without rest,
at s1,57 and s1.25 a day, and that, too,
placing in hazard the lives Of many
others Of their fellow-workmen, as testi-
fed by the fireman quoted above. Think
if it: tina fireman worked for a little
over - cents an hour?
Rev. James Y. Hussie. pastor Of st.
Gabriel's Roman Catholic church, Halle
| ton, a man with nothing to gain or lose,
and therefore without fear or favor,
! testified that the conditions in that re-
gion were deplorable, that the mine
workers were barely able to exist, that
| their homes were merely habitations, but
that they were a God-fearing, frugal,
| conservative and reasonable people.
Families could not be kept together, the
BOYS being sent into the mines almost
as soon as 'they are able to toddle
out and the girls sent to mills or al
lowed to drift into the large cities, worst
thought of all. The examples OF poverty
cited were simply awful.
Such were the conditions from which
| the miners sought a small measure of
relief, which was not granted by the
mine owners, and thereby all this trou-
bic and expense to the whole country.
Think Of it; if the handful Of rich, in
f~uential mine-owners had been willing
to do a little bit asked of them to allie
! viate the sufferings of the thousands of
miners employed by them who contribute
to their riches and their influence, the
taxpayers of this country would have
been saved $4,000, to say nothing Of the
losses caused by the scarcity of coal and
the consequent high prices that have
obtained.
