In England the people who own
property are complaining about the
burden of their taxes. Six per cent.
on incomes and local taxes in addi-
ton take tenth of their incomes.
When the masses of the people in any
country get tired of carrying the
classes on their backs, all they have
to do to reduce the fortunes of the
Opulent is to turn on them hydraulic
stream of taxation. "The power to
tax is the power to Destroy" is the
dictum of our supreme court. Their
is nothing to prevent majority OF
Gliding to level all the inequalities of
wealth by taxing the wealth of the
country. out of the hands of the people
who now hold it, for the purpose of
investing it in property to be owned
by all the people. You will say, per-
haps. that this cannot be done until
we have a change in the constitution
and that it takes a majority in the
legislatures of three fOurths of the
states to make such d change. Even
thus, a majority in three fourths of
the states and not a majority in all is
required. But suppose that the peo-
pie make up their minds TO take a
short cut to what they want and keep
pegging away until they have a presi-
d Mt and a ma jority of both houses of
congress on their side. What would
organized. plutocracy be able to do
then in it's own defense? Constitu
tions amount to nothing unless they
have majOrities behind them. Just
as soon as the seventy-fve per cent.
of the people who own ten per cent.
of the wealth of the country realize
their condition and organize them
selves and work together, it will take
them but u few years to tax the nine
tenths of the wealth the other fourth
of the people own into the public
treasury Present conditions con-
tinue, with all their injustice, simply
because those who are the victims of
such conditions do not understand
the situation. And they will prObab-
ly continue until We are wise enough
to replace them with something better.

Is patriotism on the wane in this
cou ntry? is a question that is forced
to the front by the action of the men
who were enlisted to fight against
Spain in the recent war with that
country. Seven years after the civil
war the applications for pensions had
reached but six per cent of the num-
Der of soldiers engaged in that bloody
struggle, while 1T the present time
the number of Spanish war veterans
who have filed applications for pen
siohs has reached twenty per cent.
Eleven per cent OF the members of the
10Th Kansas are now carried on the
pension roll. The latter regiment il

a~verting a war which would seriously en-
danger the newly formed Anglo-French
entente Is not known here, but there Is no
doubt that Sir Ernest Satow. British min
lister to Japan, at Lord Transformers insti-
CATION. threatened Japan that Great Brit
ain would not give her any financial help
should she unnecessarily precipitate hos
Titles.
The result of this interesting chapter in
diplomacy, which in its entirety will prob
ably never be revealed in published dis
patches, is that in the event OF a satisfac-
tory conclusion of the Russo-Japanese ne
gotfations japan, shortly after signing q
treaty. will endeavor to float another loan
In London, having the full unofficial sup
port OF the British government. All that
the Foreign Office will say for publication
In this connection is that IL is extremely
probable that Japan will need more money.
From one of the leading embassies here,
however, Ii is learned that even in signing
o treaty under which Russia will agree 10
give UP all claim TO commercial and polit-
zeal privileges in Korea, which is now con-
coded TO be the basis Of the forthcoming
agreement, Japan will feel constrained to
keep up her present defensive strength, at
n rate until the spring of 1904. Hence the
British governments unofficial guarantee
that. on the successful conclusion of a
treaty with Russia, Japan shall have ade-
quate financial resources TO maintain her
forces as a safeguard.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Col. w. r. Hollo-
way, of Indianapolis, late United States con-
sui general at ST. Petersburg. and now on
his way to Halifax, to which city he was
recently transferred, arrived here on the
steamship ST. Louis to-day. Col. Holloway
talked freely about Russia and the con-
ditions existing there at the present time.
He said that no country in the world had
been SO maligned and misrepresented as
Russia in the past few years, and that the
American public had got an entirely erron-
eous idea of a country which is more than
friendly in its feelings toward Americans.
"As a matter of fact" said Col. Holloway.
ian American is persona grata in Russia.
You have only to declare your nationality
and they open their hearts to you. AS to
the reports of difficulty in travelling through
the country and the irritating restraints
put upon travellers by government officers.
/ may say that there is no truth in them at
all. Russia is as pleasant a country to trav-
ell as any country in Europe. OF course the
language is hard. but the government can
not help that.
"Yes. Russia is aware of American irri-
tatioD as a result of her failure to ~evacuate
Manchuria. Russia is kept very fully in
formed OF what goes ON here. I have every
reason for believing that Russia will act in
good faith toward this country with regard
to the Manchurian question. or course / do
not believe that she will ever evacuate Man
churia entirely. She has the Manchurian
railway and other interests which must be
watched, but that she will ever undertake
the responsibility Of exercising control over
and governing Manchuria / do not believe
for a minute.
"Wil Russia go to war with Japan? En-
phatically, no. There is not a Russian In st.
Petersburg who wants to fight. War is not
considered a possibility in the Russian cap
ital, the rumors and talk being discounted
as the malicious gossip of correspondents.
You know Russia has just passed through a
period of industrial and financial depression
dating back three years. Crops have been
continuously bad and the country has hardly
recovered from the financial losses incurred
in the Chinese war. Consequently the coun-
try is not ready for war, even though it
were in the mood, which it is not. Russia is
for peace, and the Truce of the Bear may be
regarded as genuine"
