The Great Tax Increase.

For what purpose is the enormous, un-
preCedented increase III the local tax bur-
den proposed by Congress? Is it TO bring
the local contributions to the capital-n1ain-
tenance fund up to the mark of what the
national government is ready to contribute
under the organic act? BY no means. The
national government has in every year
since the organic act was passed with hard
ly an exception failed on its part to dupli-
cate the tax revenue of the District. Since
1t has consistently declined to meet the
spirit of the law and duplicate a tax con-
tribution of three or four millions, how long
cate a local tax contribution of five or six
millions? Rather is it likely that the ma
tional government. finding the Districts
contribution so high, through these eXorbi-
tant increases. will decline further even to
preserve the fiction of a half-and- half con-
tribution and demand the repeal of the or
ganic act, throwing upon the District the
whole burden of the capital maintenance
If this is the purpose of the present propo-
sltlons for heavy tax eases, it should in
all fairness he frankly confessed. Ii it is
not the purpose some guarantee should be
given that the increases are only temporary
In character. to tide over an emergency
Then it will be possible for the District to
conduct it's campaign for good financial ad-
mlnistration on the single issue of meeting
emergencies such as this by the ordinary
method employed by modern municipalities
a loan repayable through a period of years.

American Priests Wanted.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is desirable that the work of the church
in ciyilizing the Filipino people should be
resumed, freed from the prejudice which
the population has conceived for the friars.
At present the people are almost without
spiritual leaders. The friars are unable to
return to their parishes, because of the
danger to their lives and because Of the
probability of fresh outbreak if they were
to do SO. The Fflipnos draw a sharp line
between the monastic orders and the
church. They hate the friars and they are
devoted to their religion Many of the ma
tive clergy are untitled by training or edu-
cation to look after their people without
assistance and supervision. The situation
calls for American priests, understanding
the aims and government Of the American
people, to carry on the work in the isia ands
which they have so successfully and 80 long
carried on in the United States.

Our Hysterical Patriots.
m the Syracuse Post-Standard.

From the Syracuse Post-Standard
The Washington Star turns the thing
about to good purpose in making criticism
of those well-meaning but absurd Ameri-
cans who seem to fear that the very foun-
dations Of our republican institutions will
go to the demnition bow vows if we so
much as look approvingly upon things tina t
chance to be monarchical.
On the principle that we may be courteous
even to our enemies, without in the least
condoning any just enmity, we may also be
polite to sister nations without subscribing
to their governmental creed.
There is nothing in our American democ-
racy requiring Americans to make Doors of
themselves, neither anything that can suffer
serious hurt In consequence of the exercise
on our part of ordinary international court
esy anu goodwill.

The Worlds Peace.
From the japan Osaka Mainichi.

While the contracting powers in the new

the three powers which hold the balance
OF power in the far east. in commerce. in
navigation and in naval and military
strength These three powers can defy the
world, and We do not hesitate to assert
that their alliance is sufficient to guaran-
tee the peace of the world The mist of un-
certainty which has hung over the far
east since the China-Japan war has been
dispersed

A sTRANGE ISLAND.

One of the most extraordinary is
lands Of the world has been found in
the Gulf of Mexico. Like a chameleon,
it changes color, and as often as twice
a day. When the sand along
the beach is not covered with water
the island is purple red and at high
tide it has the color of bright gold. An
explanation of this singular phenome-
non is to be found in the name of the
island. It is called Snails island, and
it is the snails which are responsible
for the change of color, The sand is
Of a golden hue, and when the water
rises and spreads over the wide bay,
which is strewn with mussel shells,
the island glitters like gold. AS soon,
however, as the water recedes the
gold changes 10 a purple red, which
becomes even darker, until it is finally
as dark as the purple Of a princes
mantle The reason is because myri-
ads Of little purple snails are then
spread over the sand, searching eagerly
for the food which is cast up to them
by the water. This strange change OF
color is now attracting much attention,
and those who have seen it say it is
one Of the most remarkable sights in
the world

smart restaurants, however, many
women may be seen with cigarettes

that scarcely a woman would think Of

NOTABLE SERMONS.

Religious Discourse That Holds ths
Record for Pccuniary Value.
The pulpit at Westminster abbey
was once occupied by preacher who
was not a clergyman, and had never
been ordained. This was in December,
1873, when Dean Stanley invited Pro-
fessor Max Mueller to preach on the
religions Of the world. 1t was one of
the most interesting sermons ever
heard, and when printed afterward
brought in several hundred pounds.
The worlds sermon record is held by
the late Mr.. Spurgeon. His sermons
have been published weekly for fifty
years past, and there are still enough
to last several years more. Over 100,-
100000 copies have been sold, and their
profits exceed those Of any other half
dozen preachers. For the most valus
able single sermon ever preached, it is,
however, not Mr.. Spurgeon, but Canon
Fleming, who holds the record. This
discourse was first heard from the pull
pit of Sandringham church, on the sad
occasion of the death of the duke of
Clarence 1t was afterwards published
and its profits have since amounted to
total of G1,49S ($7,49O). The money
has been equally divided between the
Gordon Boys' home and the British
Home for Tncvrables. .-4-London AM

Women Taking Elevator Cure.

In New York now women are takins

vator cure. How does it cure? And
what? Search me. The motion is sup

Some of the men try it, too. but the
women have 1t the worst, Whenever

a fictitious person l know they are

OF the sharp ones generally pick out a
name in the directory before they en-
ter the car. They never go into an Of
fice, however, and always take the next
car down. When you consider there
are four elevators here and then count
the number of big Office buildings
south of the postofice, you will see a
woman can ride around all morning

Reign Of Terror in 1894, when he was

Napoleon as his minister Of war and
given the title of Duke of Feltre, We
