Enforced Labor.

The moral caliber Of the Transyaal gold
miners, who were the primary cause OF
the Boer war, is revealed by their advo-
cacy of the establishment of what amounts
to slavery, SO that they may get the labor
necessary to quadruple their present pro-
duction. Their proposition simply Isl that
the government shall impose such heavy
taxes on the native black population that
the men will have to work in the mines
in order to get money enough to pay the
taxes. The miners seem to think that
there is nothing in South Africa that
should not be made subject to the welfare
of their enterprise. It is nothing to them
that the negro populations are living in
peace and comfort as an agricultural or
pastoral people, and that to put them in
the mines is to make them disconnected
and uncomfortable. 1t is nothing to them
that the negroes are now living their own
lives in their own way, without molest-
ing their white neighbors. They do not
care at all for the blacks point of view.
They think merely of their mines and Of
the greater wealth that would come to them
the care-free blacks could be driven into
the mines by the imposition Of unneces-
sary taxation It does not seem possible
that the British government will ever
consent to such rehabilitation Of slavery
with the assistance Of the state.
The only other remedy the mine owners
propose for the labor problem is the i'm
portation of Chinese; but both Beers and
British are determined that contract labor
ers shall not be brought in.
In the Philippines there has been no
proposal to promote industry by taxation
how absurd it sounds!-but even such
an authority as jeremiah jerks has ad-
vocated the admission of a limited number
of Chinese laborers, who are now excluded
from the Philippines as they are from the
United States. At first the mass of testi-
mony was to the effect that the Filipinos
would not work. and that it was neces-
sary to import Chinese labor in order tt
get done those hard tasks of manual labor
which the natives would not perform
Opinion on this subject is now changing
It begins to appear that the Filipino, il
his Discrimination for work, is merely show
ing the effects Of his experience under
Spanish rule, when labor was too otter
unrewarded. Many different employers Of
labor in the Philippines report that, upor
coming into contact with honest and meth.
odical industry, with It's fair treatment anc
sure pay, the Filipino turns out to be 3
good workman. If such is the case, he i.
as much entitled to protection agains
cheap foreign labor as we are. He is en-
titled to make all he can out of the devel
opment Of his own country.

NEW BOOKS

DARBY oG1LL AND THE GOOD PEOPLE BY
Herminie Templeton New York: Mcclure,
Phillips & Co. Minneapolis: N. Mccarthy.
Price S15O.
This book is trimming with humor of
the best Irish species, mingled with the
weirdest of hoary Gaelic superstitions and
fairy lore. The Good People are little
people who live in the heart of the great
SLEEVE mon. These fairies
issue nightly and steal men, women and
children, animals and whatever they fan
cy, and put them in their cavernous abode.
They are predatory and mischievous ones
who were banished from heaven because
they partly sided with Satan when he re-
belled and were t'two years and twenty
days falling before we reached the earth, :"
as their King Brian Connors relates Brian
admitted that the Good People" were not
happy in Sleive-na- mon and that their
hearts were just breaking because they
did not own a goat and could not capture
one or put their "spell'' upon one. Daisy
O'Gill was one night captured by the
Good People and learned much Of them
before he escaped. What he tells is relia-
BILE, fof course as his adventure with
.Leprechaun,' = who Spelled him; his in
terviews with the king Of the fairies and
his experience with the banshee's comb,
winding up with her extraordinary musical
combing on ALI Halows eve at McCar-
thy's. The book is a good repertory of
Irish wit, wisdom and superstitions. There
is hardly page which does not stimulate
the pert and visible spirit of mirth," and
Darby O'Gill will generally be recognized
as a destroyer of the megrims.

The recurrence Of new strikes and the

Mr.. Tulloch is justified in asserting that
his charges of improper practices in the
management of the Washington city post
office have not been answered. For the
most part the alleged answers have been
the merest generalities and excuses, such
as that the Spanish American war made
certain irregular practices necessary. We
cannot see how the Spanish American war

nothing to earn salaries.

The pleasure resort men are smiling
today and the smile grows broader as
they see the temperature rise. They
know it means money in their pockets.
There have been so many cold, stormy
days that little sunshine is very
pleasing to them.
OF course, the people here know
where to go for an outing tonight and
tomorrow. There is Boynton Beach
with the Saturday night hop. The
floor is in fine condition and a big
crowd is sure to be on hand. Then,
the sacred concert tomorl ow will be a
pleasant thing to listen to.
If the weather gets too hot, there is
Sea Breeze across the sound. If there
is breeze anywhere it is bound to be
felt there and it will delight every.
one. The two boats will be in service
tomorrow and the best of a. time is
promised. Sacred concert is the order,
but tonight will be the crowd.
OF course the usual number of people

TAXED AT
TRUE VALUE.
Law is Plain on the Subject and
Assessors Declare they
Lived up to il.
NOT YET ACCEPTED.

The story published in the News
yesterday, giving some of the new
valuations as filed by the assessors,
has attracted great deal of attention
and not little talk. So many people
called at the city clerk s office yester-
day afternoon to see the valuations
on their property that it was neces
sary to refuse the public the use of
the duplicates.
It is pointed out to those who make
the greatest complaint that the assess
ment is not final. It is still in the
power of the Board of Aldermen to
accept or reject it, and as the dupli-
Gates have not been officially examined
by the board nothing definite can be
given as to what will have to be paid
in taxes. From what could be learn
ed in talking with some of the alder
men, the probability of the duplicates
being rejected is growing stronger,
but they refuse to discuss the matter
until they have made thorough ex-
animation of the duplicates.
A representative of the News, this
morning, made inquiries as to how
the assessment was made. One of the
assessors was asked if they had assess
ed all property at its full value. The
assessor said the law was very plain
on the subject. It declares that all
property shall be assessed at its true
value and, continued the assessor 1--WE
have endeavored to carry out the law
in every particular. From this, the
assessor allowed it to be assumed that
they have taxed every property owner
to the full value of the property.

The entrance to the house was gen-

windows which was forced open with
some sharp instrument, most likely
jimmy. The people did not report the
matter at Police Headquarters until
late last night when Lars Madison, Of
2O6 Madison avenue, reported to Ser

CITY d BCTS $4,000
WORTH OF ITS OWN
4 PER CENT. BONDS.
Water Bonds Amounting $4,000 had been Offered for Sale and
Bids have Been Opened Last Night but no Outside Bd
ders appeared and City Took Some of Them-Wah Street
Furry Given as Reason for Purchasers not being Present.

The city bought some of it's own
bonds last night. 1t was the time
fixed for opening bids for the $50, 900
water bonds issued to pay for the new
water main now being built from the
standplpe at Runyon to the south
shore of the Raritan river. The bonds
bear interest at per cent. No out
side bidders appeared last night to
take up these bonds so the city itself
bought $4,000 worth which Will
furnish the necessary cash to continue
the work until the furry in Wall
street is over
The aldermen met last night for the
purpose of awarding the bids for the
bonds. Notices had been sent to the
various financial houses and brokers,
but no one put in an appearance.
After waiting until nearly 8 o'clock
and no bids for the bonds were offer
ed, resolution was introduced that
the city buy some of the bonds itself.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, there being no bids re-
ceived for the purchase OF $50, 600
worth of water bonds,
Therefore, be it resolved that the
CITY treasurer be authorized to pur-
chase for the general sinking fund,
$15, 900 worth of said bonds and $40, 900
worth for the Water Works sinking
fund, and that the same be purchased
at par.
Ihe resolution was signed by G. d.
Runyon. In speaking of there being
no outside purchaser for the bonds,
City Treasurer Brodhead said, after
the meeting, that the failure to sell
the four per cent bonds at this time
was no reflection upon the credit OF
the city. He declared that no city,
during the last few days, has been
able to dispose of her bonds because
