BRIGHT FOR TOBACCO
Majority of English Tobacco
Factories Independent.
The Imperial Tobacco Company VIII Build
Factories al Greenyie and al kinston
in This State.

1t appears that neither the Imperial
or the American Tobacco companies VIII
control the entire English tobacco trade.
Here is a bit of news that comes from
Richmond, where Andrew A. c. Chalmers,
of Chalmers e Co., Wanstead, Essex,
England and Henry Pond. of the Ameri-
can Trading Company, London, are at
present.
These gentlemen say that the greater
number of English tobacco factories are
independent of either the Imperial or
American Companies, and that the trade
of the manufacturers has greatly in
creased since the formation of the two
large trusts. These gentlemen said they
hoped the supply of tobacco from this
side would continue to be sent to Eng
land. The trade has increased very
much.
Messrs. Chalmers and Pond are making
the rounds of the different leaf tobacco
markets and visiting the different ex-
porters of this country to post themselves
as to the situation on this side of the
water

later on.
Information given out is that the fac

Mr.. Charles H. East, of Danville.

jected. The pumpmen. according to pro-
gram, will then leave the mines and their
places will be Immediately filled by forces
which have been previously trained to this
work, including even the clerks from the
company offices. If an attempt Is made to
prevent these men from keeping the mines
dry there will be trouble, resulting doubt
less In rioting and bloodshed. Another
source OF possible friction lies in the ne
cessity of keeping the boilers at the pump
ing plants supplied with fuel. The only
available source of this fuel Is the wash
cries attached to the culm banks, or waste
heaps which dot the neighborhood of the
mines. The other day when an attempt
vas made to operate a certain washery for
the sake of the coal that could be obtained
for market the strikers interfered in such
numbers that the undertaking was aban-
doned. 1t now appears to be the policy OF
the operators to do nothing uselessly to
arouse the passions of the strikers, for the
sake of marketing coal, but to concentrate
their energies upon keeping the mines from
flooding. They appear to believe that they
will be amply sustained by the authorities
and public opinion in resorting to any
measures for the protection of their prop
erty, while they might not be thus sup
ported II they precipitated trouble by try
ing to mine coal. Meanwhile the policy Of
the miners is not as clearly defined. There
is some doubt as to the probability of
call for general convention to decide
upon a strike Of the soft coal miners. One
theory Is that the leaders are awaiting the
result of the demand for an eight-hour day
for the pumping crews before taking steps
to enlarge the scope of the strike.

The Concentration Camps.

The following cable from Manila contains
some very startling intelligence:
Captain Crawford chief of the constabu-
larry of Balangas province, reports that the
conditions there are better than ever before
The inhabitants are now constructing bet
ter houses and are living on a scale approx
mating American ideas of comfort, clean
l.neSS and sanitation.
Captain Crawford attributes this i'm
pCovement, principally, to experience in
American ways. gained by the natives in
the concentration camps. The American
soldiers are now looked upon as protectors.
rather than as enemies.
Heavens above! Filipinos getting ideas
oe comfort, cleanliness, and sanitation in
concentration camps? Why. those camps
have been described as suburbs of hell
1t has been contended that they were pest
holes; that people could not live in them,
/ but died there by thousands. 1t has been
one of the indictments drawn by the anti
imperialists that we have copied Weyler'
methods after denouncing them; and more
than one American newspaper and several
American politicians have offered apollo
gies to that Spanish commander for what
was said in this country on the subject of
his concentration camps in Cuba several
years ago. And now comes this American
officer and represents the concentration
caIips III the fhihppiheS aS OF merit enough
to serve as models for the instruction Of
the people in the matter of building houses
and caring for their premises.
But maybe it will be charged that this
officer lies: that he is seeking to break the
force Of the disfavor in which in anti-im-
perialist circles the army is now held. May
an officer who defends the army be believed
on oath? Are not all the men serving in
uniform in the Philippines tarred with the
same stick? Is the truth possible to men
who have been butchering women and chill
dren. applying the torch indiscriminately.

''Who is this Captain Crawford?' the anti
imperialists will probably ask. How do we
know but that he Is one Of Hell-Roarfn'
Jake Smiths men? And II he Is. what may
he be expected to know about comfort and
cleanliness?'
Nevertheless. there is excellent reason for
accepting Captain Crawford's statement as
true 1t tallies exactly with what the public
has received from other signed sources.
Stephen Bonsal. who wrote at some length
about the concentration camps, described
them as being In every way improvements
on the native habitations and declared that
the people were well cared for. He had
seen the weyler camps in Cuba, and he
pointed out the very great difference be-
tween them and the American camps In the
Philippines.

A Radical Departure Proposed.

II the pending plans for the taxation of
washington are carried into effect the re-
suit will be startling and wholly without
parallel in the record Of American munich
pal financing. The Districts revenues will
be so largely increased that the capital will
be raised at once from it's present rank of
fifty-ninth in the list of 1874 American cities
in the matter of per capita tax payments to
sixth in that list. Instead of paying S1O.s3
a year per capita in the form of taxes, it
will pay $3.50 year. When the circum-
stances are considered It will be forced to
the very head of all the municipalities in
the matter of the eXtortion of taxes from
it's citizens. For there is no other city in
the United States of approximately the size
of Washington which has SO few taxable
resources. The area of taxable real estate
Is decreasing every year with the acquisi-
lions by the government for public build
ing and park purposes. which become ex-
empt While this area Is decreasing the
assessment Is steadily increasing. The OPP
portunties of the citizens to engage in
business are limited by the character of the
community. The sources Of individual
revenue are curtailed and the expense of
living Is increased. Yet it is proposed to so
swell the tax revenue. by sudden addition
to the taxable property and a radical in
crease In the assessment, that the per capt.
ia burden will be almost doubled.
If a similar proposal were made by a
municipal government in another city it
would cause a political revolution. A party
standing for so violent a departure from
the principles of good government would be
punished at the next election by a complete
defeat Aldermen and cOuncimen who
would pass an act providing for such a
method of finance and mayor who would
sign it would be buried under hostile votes.
Boards of assessors who even following
the dictates of their political allies in legs-
lative or administrative power. would de-
wise ways and means Of thus suddenly
swelling the tax receipts, for whatever pur-
pose would be ousted from office. There is
no limit to the reasonable indignation of a
community thus treated. But Washington is
a peculiar community and according to the
congressional theory. is to be peculiarly
treated If ten millions are to be spent in a
permanent work the money must be raised
by taxation instead of by loan. No guar
antees are to be given that the tax will be
lessened when the extraordinary debt is
paid. That is one Of the penalties of being
peculiar. Then, too, the mucted people
have no means of redress. being bound hard
and fast by a constitutional provision to the
control of Congress and by partnership
agreement which can be broken at will by
the national but never by the local partner.
