THE REVOLUTION IN sERVIA

One of the dispatches says that "in- tense joy prevails at Belgrade" If there is intense joy there it is caused by the terrible deeds of the military revolutionists who killed King Alexan- der, Queen Draga and others who were in the way. It is difficult to under stand just what has been going on ill Servia, but for long time that coun- try has been seething with discomfort and political corruption. King Alex ander has been very unpopular and has long known that he was standing on a slippery place. Only few months ago, in seeking to strengthen his position, he temporarily suspended the constitution, in order to get rid of certain electoral, press, and other laws of which he dis approved. He was aware also of the disaffection in the army, which is said to have been due chiefly to the desire of Queen Draga to have her brother, most undesirable person, declared heir to the throne, and also to her in cessant intrigues to secure the promo tion of her relatives and friends over the heads of other and generally more deserving officers.
 Peter Karageorgevitch. the new king, is about fifty years old, and has long aspired to be King. Whether he can keep the crown on his head or even his head on his shoulders remains to be seen. Perhaps the Powers will have something to say when they have con- sidered the situation.

4 SIGN OF LTFE IN CHINA.

China doesn't seem to take very kind-
 ly to reform, but the government of that country does appear to be in earn est about unifying the great variety of coinage systems in the empire. At any rate an imperial edict which deals with the matter and ends with the words respect this'' has been issued. This edict appoints I. Kuang and Gnu Hun gchi to consult with the Board of Revenue and conscientiously put mat ters in order, carefully attending to ev- erything that needs to be done. For in- stance, the silver coins used in various provinces are of different kinds and of varying degrees of fineness, which is a very great embarrassment to the mer- cantile classes. It is therefore neces- sary to clearly agree upon one design for the silver coinage and to establish a central mint at Picking for the coinage of silver. After they shall have coined a sufficient number of these new silver coins, the payment of land taxes and

PROPER APPRECIATION.

Emperor William says many good things. In his talk to German singing societies the other day he told them to sing the old songs that they could sing well and that the people would like to hear and not attempt feats that were beyond them. That was all right. Now We read that. he has said: Tt is only Americans that meet my wants The Emperor is said to have spoken these words recently while dining with the officers of one of his favorite Silesian regiments, and the thought pleased his majesty so much that he has frequently repeated it in other forms since then. It is pointed out that the visit of the Prussian finance minister. Baron von Rheinbaben, to the United States att tracts unusual attention among the ini- tiated, because of the emperor's admira- ton for American energy and practical insight, and 1t is assumed that his ma jesty designs giving the minister larger tasks, for which his American observa- tions will be especially useful.
 No wonder the Emperor likes Ameri- cans. Everybody likes them. They are smart, they can do things and they have money. The Emperor does well to like them and learn from them.

THE BLACK MANS BURDEN.

The people in Alabama who are keep ing negroes in what is practically a state. of slavery don't seem to be much different from some people in South Africa. That slavery actually exists among the blacks in the British posses sions in South Africa, though in a new guise and under different name. is the open charge that has been made by Herbert Samuel, member of Parlia- ment. The natives are no longer per- mitted to live among themselves in peace, to trade or to farm or to hunt in their aboriginal ways. The mine own CTS need laborers to work their posses sions, and the only laborers available are the natives. The natives object, for the double reason that the labor is not congenial to them and the wages are exceedingly low Then comes the mine owner, who is the government, with taxation as a lever to force the native to do that which he does not wish to do. The native has no money, and he is forced to work in the mines to get enough to pay the tax. If he has more than one wife, and polygamy is com- mon among the South African blacks, there is an extra tax, and the super fluity of wives must work in the mines also. He and his wives can, of course, run away, but there are few congenial points in South Africa to run to, and if he should be captured he is punished as defaulter of his taxes by being forced to labor in the mines.
 Of course it is really better for the heathen blacks of South Africa to be the Christian white mems slaves than it would be for them to go on in the old way, though they don't think so. They are teathen, and can hardly be expect ed to appreciate what is being done for them.

Hindoo traders are year by year be- coming a more important element in commercial affairs in Natal, South Afri- ca. They are keen competitors and possess many qualifications for com- nnerce. They live frugally and can save money where others would starve Thus it is that many of them are becoming wealthy, possessing a great deal of property and in some cases even driving their own traps, sometimes even with a white coachman. A pet scheme of theirs appears to be never to pay until full legal process, even to the point of seiz- ing their effects and selling by auction has been restorted to. Then they pay, and return next day to the merchant to begin a new account.

Beside expressing horror at the Belle vile lynching, the Chicago Tribune is surprised that it should have happened where it did. "The community in which this disgraceful affair occurred has been considered one of the most law abiding in Illinois," it says. Tt is not new in the sense that far western villages and towns are so called. It has been settled for longer period than Chicago. It is inhabited largely by people of German deseent-peaceful, orderly, and respect ed citizens. How they or the inhabitants of the surrounding country could be ex- cited to such fury of savagery as to overthrow the law. personally execute vengeance upon a wretch who was un- worthy of it, and afterwards perpetrate nameless indignities upon the dead body is a question that no man can surely decide"

likin dues, and all other moneys due the government shall be made in these silver coins, which are to be used espec- ially for this purpose, so as to get rid of the losses from discount of differences in fneness and weight of the coins, which will no longer exist. The imper- iaI treasury and all the provincial treas uries will alike follow one rule in re- ceiving and paying. and they will not be allowed, on any spacious pretext
 whatever, to make the slightest devia-
 tion.. As to the manner of arranging satisfactory regulations they will forth
 with carefully consider this matter, put
 ting things in their proper sequence. and let them request an edict, authorizing them to be put into operation. In 8 word, this matter is one of great im- Dortance to the state. one that means
 benefit both to the court and the people, and the said Prince and High Minister must exert themselves to discharge
 their responsibility without regarding
 any odium that may be incurred and
 adhere firmly to their decisions without any wavering, earnestly endeavoring to establish uniform coinage, which, put into circulation, may result in great ad- vantage and fulfill the purpose of the court to institute such reforms as will promote the welfare of the people.
 Of course it will be better for China to have uniform silver coinage, and it is to be hoped that she will be able to do
 what she ought to in this matter. But l China is a queer place and reform there has to be seen to be believed.

Y The fall in the price of silver still leaves King Edward the possessor of an enormous fortune in the plate he has inherited from his mother, both at Buckingham Palace and at Windsor Castle, with the result that the plate, most of it silver, some of it gold and portion of it, such as a metal peacock and other ornaments, set with gems, was appraised at sum far in excess of s1,0O000O. Edward VII. has made considerable additions to the collection by the transfer of his own plate from Marlborough House.

new DOG TAX RATE.
Sliding Schedule to Be Enacted
Into Ordinance.

At a meeting of the judiciary COM
mittee this morning, the city attorney
was instructed to draw up a new dog
tax ordinance on the following lines:
The tax will remain at 81 on male
dogs and s. on female dogs for the first
three months of each year; tax not
paid prior to April 1 of each year will
be 81 for males and 81 for females.
After April 1, the dog tax collector
Will start on his rounds. Every dog
found without a collar on which the
tax tag is attached will be taken up
and put in the city dog pound for "A
hours, after which time. unless re-
deemed by the owner or somebody
else, it win be. shot.
People who desire to take advantage
of the 81 and SIS rate will have to come
to the city hall and pay their money
70 the city treasurer If they wait un-
I'll April, the dog tax collector win
come after it, and the price will be 81
and 81 instead of 81 nd IS.
1t was also decided that the pay Of
the dog tax collector should be raised
puts him on the same basis with the
other policemen of the city.
The plan which was suggested by
M E. Younkin, the dog tax collector,
the city hall for the first three months
OF the year. and the tax be paid to
him direct. did not meet with much
faVof The committee thought that
lie lily treasurer ana city clerk COQlO
attend to this as they have done in the
past, and the salary of the dog tax COL
iiector for the first three months could
ba saved.
1t is believed that this proposed or
ulnance will not meet with very serious
opposition. The Foster Humane soci-
ETY. wants the council to kill dogs by
chloroform and keep the big dogs and
the little dogs in separate pens, but
there is too much ginger bread work
70 f11r
The proposed ordinance will have the
erect of making people come to the city
nall and pay their tax instead of maxi
ing 1t necessary for the city to send af-
ter it The principal business of the
dog tax collector after April 1 of each
year Will be to kill stray dogs. This
year he has killed about 280 dogs and
he says that next year there will pro-
badly be 500 which will have to be put
out of the way.
City Attorney Spencer will have the
ordnance ready for presentation to the
council Friday night, when there will
be a special meeting for the purpose of
selling the new city refunding bonds
Besides talking about the dog ordin-
ance, the committee did very little bus
mess. 1t turned down the claim of
Theresa Boyer for $500 damages, alleged
to have been sustained by a fall on a
crossing, and the claim of Mrs. r. B.
Allison for damages alleged to have
been sustained by a fall on the side
walk on Kansas avenue between Fifth
and Sixth streets.
The city will probably make a test
case of the claim of Mrs. Amos Beeler
for 800 damage to her horse and buggy
alleged to have been sustained by COL
liding with a pile Of brick in front of
the Railroad Y. NJ. C. A. building. This
claim was not filed until more than four
months after the accident, and accord
ing to the new city charter act, it
is thereby disbarred.
