President Cipriano Castro's official residence, the White House of Vene- zuela, is yellow and is called the Yel- low House It stands on a hill in the city of Caracas and is one of the show places of President Castro's capital. Although but scant six miles from the coast, the Yellow House is 3.100 feet above the sea. Caracas has a popula- ton of about 10000 and was founded in 1567. Tn 1872 the city was destroyed by an earthquake Owing to the interven- ing mountains. the Yellow House is not easy of capture. for they are very steep and extremely difficult for an invading army to ascend.

There IS at least one place in the world where the mayor is not inspired by cupidity for there is nothing in the office save the glory thereunto apper- taining. Of course there are many n1u- nicipaiities in which the mayor re-

The strangest people in Venezuela are the Caribs, or native Indians, many of whom live in huts elevated above the surface of the lakes and marshes These lake dwellings are picturesque features of Venezuelan scenery, Tho Caribs have a strange custom called ''convade." When babe is born, the father goes to bed for two weeks and is carefully nursed. while the mother at- tends to her household duties as usual. Kissing must be lost art among the Carlos. The women pierce their lower lips and stick sharp pieces of wood, point outward, through them. Oscula- ton under such circumstances would certainly be trying form of endear- ment, for the Carib lover would be apt to lose an eye or two before he -succeed- ed in saluting his ladylove. The Carlos, negroes and mixed races are numerous in Castro's republic. for the white pop- ulation is not more than 1 per cent of the total.

To the credit of the villagers, it is related that no public improvement approved by their rulers has ever been allowed to be sidetracked for want of funds.

Money and the Taxing Power
BY W. Fl. ASHBY.
All Rights Reserved.

1t gives The Independent great pleas
ure to announce to its readers that ar
rangements have been completed for
the publication in serial form of Capt.
w. H. Ashby's work on political econ
omy, Money, and the Taxing Pow
er." This will be published in in
stallments of about two columns
week, beginning January l, 1903, un-
til fnished-which will probably be
some time next summer. The Inde-
pendent's policy will be to progress
by easy stages, giving our readers no
more each week than they can read
conveniently and mentally digest. Well
written criticisms of any position TAX
en- by Captain Ashby will always be
welcomed.
Captain Ashby has for years been a
student of political economy, and for
a long time accepted without ques-
tion many of the so-called fundamen-
tails of the science. But as his inves-
LEGATIONS proceeded he was at times
confronted with obstacles that were
insurmountable and which necessi-
tated his taking a circuitous route, or
retracing of his steps and search for
a new path. Finally he resolved TO be-
gin at the beginning and survey his
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1902-12-18

own road through the forest of politi-
cal economy, accepting no landmarks
and blazings which did not show un-
mistakable evidence of authenticity
under the searchlight of reason. Mon
ey, and the Taxing Power" constitutes
his field notes in making this survey.
In part Captain Ashby's work Is
iconoclastic. He has no reverence for
idols simply because they have been
worshipped for generations. Yet his
conclusions in many respects are in
harmony with those of the great econ
omists. Written in the clearest of
English, and avoiding as far as possi-
BILE the stilted style adopted by most
writer's on political economy, it can
not fail to give our readers a rare
treat.
Tell your neighbors about this new
feature of The Independent. Let them
try three months educational trial
trip subscription. A silver dime will
pay the bill. And if at the end of that
time Captain Ashby's destruction has
not become a necessity, it will be easy
to discontinue. Don't forget the date:
January l, 1903, when the first in
stallment will be printed. Begin at
the beginning and don't miss a num-
