Does England Like US2

Answering his own question in
'Harper's Weekly" what is the gen
eral attitude of England toward the
United States, Sydney Brooks cpl
dramatically says:
'Englishmen are extremely fond,
extremely ignorant, and In some ways
extremely jealous of the United
States"
In fact, according to Mr. Brooks,
Englishmen are as ignorant of this
country as they are of Scotland, and
to illustrate how ignorant they are of
Scotland he quotes Mr.. Barrie's Eng
lish lady, who was comforbed TO be
told-in answer TO her question what
the natives Of Inverness did when the
bears rampaged through their streets
all the winter long-that they shot
them with claymores."
Mr.. Brooks acknowledges that 1t is
difficult enough to explain England
to America. but that doing so is child's
play compared with the task of ex-
planning America to England. His
sage advice is not to try. Then he
gives an altogether unusual and some
what surprising idea of the extent Of
England's fondness for this country.
England" he says, will take from
America what she will from no one
else" not because America is more
powerful or because England has
much to gain politically by keeping
OF good terms with America, but be
cause Of the very genuine friendh-
ness which has grown IN among all
classes Of Englishmen for the United
States. 1t is an axiom over here that
there can never be serious trouble
between the two countries.
"Englishmen bear no grudges. They
are as proud of Washington as Ameri-
cans themselves. No English poll
tician ever thinks of mentioning the
United States in a speech without
some complimentary adjective, and

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-Marshan Field is
the heaviest taxpayer in the United
States. Forty million dollars is the as
sessed value Of Mr.. Fields taxable
property, real and personal. in Chicago
This is the estimate of the board OF re
view Mr.. Fields real estate assessment
is $50. GO. 900. His personal property as
sessment Is 100000.
Next year he will pay taxes on an ad-
ditionaI million dollars Wort of real
estate.
These facts were brought out before
the board OF review today, when a rep
resentative of the wealthy Chicago mer-
chant applied for and obtained a reduc-
ton OF assessment upon Mr. Fields in
divlduaI personal property from s., SOC. OOO
10 Sc.000.O0o.
AS the tax books show. Mr.. Field. per
sonally. and as the chief owner of the
mercantile house Of Marshall Field &

United States.
He pays taxes on $50. 900. 900 in real es-
tate in Cook county. on 5000. 600 Of per-

tai of 100000.
NO other man in the United States
pays taxes on 50 much property as Mar
shall Field" said Reviewer Upham.
Dispatches from other cities say that
II. G. Prick is the largest individual tax
payer Of Pittsburg. Pa, his assessment
on real estate alone being $1O.OO0.0OO.
William WeigLCman. who died yester-
day I'm Philadelphia, Pa, pa taxes three
years ago on $50 co., coo worth Of real

A Suicide Service.

The Independent" publishes a let
ter suggesting a novel use to make
Of would-be suicides. The idea is to
form them into a club. or give them
opportunity of service, in places
where men are needed to do danger
Gus things. There is the man who
fire. of the torpedo. for instance. and
the man who goes on a dangerous
mission in time Of war. The suicide.
II is suggested, might be used in these
capacities. to save the sacrifice Of men
who would rather live than not. He
would thus have an opportunity of
making his exit from life with honor
instead of contumely.
The trouble with the idea is that
there is too much distance between
the man and his job II would not
pay TO send a man to Japan or the
Philippines, or Colorado, or wherever
somebody was needed for a dangerous
mission, merely IN order 10 satisfy
his desire to die. 1t would be cheaper
20 let him attend TO that himself. If.
however, he is fitted for such a mis-
sion, and wants 10 die. there is moth
Ing 70 hinder his undertaking the
matter on his own account There
are good many men in every army
who have enlisted, not so much be-
cause II IS sweet and glorious TO die
for their country, as because they are

the British public, which he's long
ceased to be the most stolid public
in Europe, and become instead,
thanks to cheap reading, ONE of the
most hysterical and sentimental, al
ways cheers heartily any illusion TO
our cousins beyond the sea- and
agrees rapturously with the speaker
that blood is thicker than water
But the British ignorance of Ameri-
can life Mr.. Brooks regards as SEN
sationally profound, for which he
blames the press and that inevitable
burden-bearer, the American tourist
the romping American girl who
races up and down the corridors of
London and provincial hotels, or
wears the Stars and Stripes on Regent
Street; the American man who puts
sugar in his claret and chews an I'M
lighted cigar"
"Englishmen," he declares, seem
at times almost to hate the thought
that America has emerged from the
backwoods. With American steel
rails. machinery, bridges, boots, in
ventiOns of all kinds flooding the
English market beyond dispute, Eng
lishmen feel they have to get even
somehow. They accordingly take it
out in comments on American man
ners and social life"
He also contends that Englishmen
are resentful and suspicious of any
attempt to enliehten them as to the
real truth of things, from which he
deduces the counsel that if an Ameri-
can wishes to i've in peace in that
country, he must live with his mouth
fairly closely shut as far as his native
land is concerned.
Some day England will discover
modern America. Then the flood of
English travel will be turned in this
direction. Ignorance will give place
to admiration, and suspicion to ap-
probation. Until that time comes,
the American is quite content that the
Englishman should think him a good
fellow at heart, though still a bit
rough. 1t doesn't do the American
any HARM and the Englishman evil
IDENTIFY thinks that it does him a heap
of good.

THE LITTLE Jap.

The little Jap he pegs away
Night after night, day after day;
He's always going right ahead
That's why so many Slavs are dead.
He doesn't stop TO rest or sleep,
But though the roads are rough and
steep
And foe-begirt, still day by day
The little Jap he pegs away.
The little Jap he doesn't talk
Nor diagram with pen or chalk.
He doesn't tediously explain
How certain forts his men will gain.
Instead, he saves his breath and strength
To shout with when he shall az length
Have felled the grisly giants stalk
The little Jap he doesn't talk
The little Jap he doesn't brag
or madly masticate the rag;
He doesn't gloat Ger fallen foe
Until that foe is lying low;
He doesn't tell the world his plans.
But marshals silently his CLANS
And scraps with vim that cannot lag
The little Jap he doesn't braE.
The little Jap he doesn't wait
And sit around and rail at fate;
4hSledu ne tdchleS Win a vim
Whatever's In the way Of him.
He doesn't soak in jagful juice
He knows such things aren't any use
He's busy early, busy late
The little Jap he doesn't wait.
The little Jap thus teaches you
And teaches other people, too
That 'tisn't wise to jag or brag
or mouth the masticative rag.
Or wait on murmur or complain,
But Just 10 work come sun or rain.
Less theorizing, more Of Do
The little Jap man teaches you.

Some of these men make fine soldiers,
and some of them, when they get
their first experience under fire, dis
cover that life is more desirable than
they supposed.
Moreover, suicide in a great many
cases results from a mood, and if
the suicide can be stopped on the
brink Of his leap into the other world
he will never try it again. 1t will
never be known how many people
might have killed themselves but for
the watchfulness of friends or rela-
tives, or some lucky turn in their for
tunes. Altogether, this is a matter
which may as well be left to the in
itiative of private individuals.

HumoTS of the Campaign.

1t is well that the element of humOr
should be introduced into the political
campaign, which just at present is
meandering along with a peacefulness
dangerously approaching dullness.
This may be very pleasing from a Re-
publican standpoint. for it indicates
that nobody much is changing his
mind, and a pile of folks must do that
if Judge Parker is to be elected.
Tom Taggart, to be sure, continues
to take off his coat in his headquar-
ters at New York, but those who have
been anXiously scanning the heavens
for signs of harmony between Tam
many Murphy and Brooklyn McCar-
rem, finding none, naturally conclude
that the presence Of Toms shirt
sleeves by no means proves that his
brain is developing an effective poll
teal organization out of the remnants
left over from the Bryan regime.
Old line Democrats, coming critical
ly back into the party, note with
misgiving the difference that the
present situation shows when COM
pared with the situation which had
c1Ine into being a few days after the
nomination of Grover Cleveland in
1892, when William c. Whitney was
in charge of the Democratic destinies
They recall that Mr. Whitney also
found the New York Democracy, State
and city, divided into warning cliques,
while many of the leaders were open
~ opposed to Mr.. Cleveland. They
recall how Mr. Whitney had the
whole lot in line within two days.
Then they look at Murphy and Nc
Carren. Perhaps they peek over the
back fence into the fully organized
Republican machine, noiselessly
grinding away under the guidance Of
Engineer Cortelyou. They mourn
fully conclude that it takes no great
prophetic vision to read the stars.
They need cheering up, and therefore
they must welcome even the advent
of David B. Hill in the character Of
the clown.
David made a speech yesterday. It
was a personal attack on President
Roosevelt He said among other
things that the President was a fraud
and that he was a man of blood and
thunder. When platform has been
formulated" he concluded, Gaping
his humOr with a fitting climax, "on
which both Grover Cleveland and w.
J. Bryan can stand, it is time for the
Democrats to pull together and elect
a President"
OF course, it must be admitted that
if anybody ought to know what a
fraud is, David B. Hill is that man.
David has lived with a fraud for a
good many years, and he is not mar
ried either. However, the public is
more interested in other things than
in David's opinion Of President
Roosevelt. 1t would like to know, for
instance, what he thinks would have
been the position of the Democracy
today If ne had succeeded in sup
pressing the only really shining star
in the Democratic armament, Judge
Parker's gold telegram to the Dem
ocratic convention.

FRIDAY. AUGUST %, 1904.
Nearing the Climax.

The promontory of Port Arthur
pokes down between the Korea Bay
on the east, and the Liao-Tung Gulf
on the west, like a sore finger. Lao
teshan forms the extreme southern
point around which vessels must go
into the protected harbOr. The main
fortress of Port Arthur lies in a
northeasterly direction from Lao
teshan on the shores Of the Korea
Bay. On the west coast of the
promontory are Pigeon Bay and
Louisa Bay, both of which are now in
possession OF the japanese.
According to latest information
from Chefoo, only Golden Hill, White
Marble Mountain, and Liaote Noun
tain are now in the possession of the
Russians. Laoteshan, as already stat
ed, is the southernmost point of the
promontory. Golden Hill is the inner
fortress Of Port Arthur, and is stu
ated on the eastern side of the har-
Dor. White Marble Mountain lies be-
tween Laoteshan and Golden Hill.
protecting the harbor on the north.
1t is thus seen that the Japanese
have pressed the Russian lines into a
narrow strip of territory surrounding
the basin, the japanese lines extend
ing in semi-circular formation from
Siaohoushan on the east to Pigeon
Bay on the west.
Meanwhile the campaign to the
north has come to a dead standstill.
apparently awaiting the results at the
south. 1t would appear that the
japanese generals have General Kuro-
patkin practically helpless at Lao
Yang, which is a well fortified point.
and they seem content to keep him
there until the fall of Port Arthur
places them in a position to finish the
russian connnander-in-chief at their
leisure. 1t may be. too. that the
rainy season has at last seriously in
terfered with operations around Lao
Yang.
kuropatkin is supposed to have not
far from 100000 men in his command.
while a recent estimate places Cen
eral Kuroki's force at 100. 900, General
Nodzu's at 10000, and General Oku's
at 10000, besides some 10000 men
that are approaching by the right
bank of the Lao River. It will thus
be seen that in spite of any weaken
ing Of the Japanese forces that may
have resulted from sending re-en-
forcements TO Port Arthur, there are
still enough of the Mikados soldiers
in the vicinity of Liao-Yang to dis
pose Of Kuropatldn.
What action Russia will take with
her feet in the Far East literally de-
stroyed. Port Arthur fallen. Kuro-
patl1in out of the running, and VIadi-
Vostok under the threat of the Jana
nese warships, is. Of course, a conjec-
ture. but it is difficult to see how she
can continue effectively to wage war
St-Petersburg makes the confident an
nouncement that the Russian forces
will 90 into winter quarters at Har-
bin and make ready for the spring
campaign. The rest of the world
however, is permitted to doubt might
lily if that proposed spring campaign
Will ever come off.
