Saturday Evening,

Washington luncheon, negroes had been
mobbed and burned, and the white pop
ulation seemed Of one mind. The mis-
take of the democracy was in not max
ing greater allowances for the follow
ing Of Bryan. In two national cam,
gone up and down the country preach
ing his doctrine. His eloquence, his
earnestness, the conditions of the times,
all combined to give him hearing. He
made many converts. The st. Louis
convention this year threw Bryan and
his theories overheard. Instead OF
quiet acquiescance, his friends are in a
condition of sullen revolt. If what he
said to the country in 1896 and again
in 1900 was true then; if the democratic
party of that day accepted it and put
it into platform and campaign speech;
if it was then worthy Of serious thought
what is the matter with it now9
That is the question which Bryan dem
ocrats are everywhere asking.
Republicans Cheer Up.
1t is hardly necessary to say that at
republican headquarters there Is intense
interest in the returns from Vermont
and Arkansas. The "straw is so
much more significant than had been
counted on, and the outlook now seems
so much improved, that the leaders now
look for Roosevelt 8 electoral and popu-
lar pluralities to be on par with Me

gers attributes Tuesdays results in
part to the campaign of abuse which

we'll and it knows that the democratic
charges are untrue. This manager also
thinks that the fact that Judge Parker
is unknown has helped. The country is
not inclined to elect man 1t doesn t
know.
It's UP to Maine Now.
Now it up to Maine, whose fall
election comes next week.
In former years the politicians looked
upon Maine with as much interest as
upon Vermont, but that has changed
Maine has a tendency TO split up into
several political organizations-proh

Jack Jedbury did not see her when

floor in painful and laborious effort
to supply two missing buttons on his

For the beginning OF taxation we
must go to Roman tunes. Taxes were
then levied on agricultural produce
and cattle, and there was also a curl
GUS and very oppressive tax on
corpses, which was one of the causes
of the revolt of the Iceni under Boad-
icea. From the earliest time of the
heptarchy there existed what may be
called national levy for general pur-
poses, chiefly clerical, since two thirds
Of it were devoted to the maintenance
Of the clergy and repairs of sacred
buildings. The other third was the
original of our present poor rates.
One of the earliest general taxes was
the shameful danegeld, levied by Ethel
red the Unready In 991 for the purpose
OF buying off the Danish marauders
1t was duly sanctioned by the witan
and produced an amount equal to a
million pounds sterling. Once levied.
the tax became permanent and one of
the chief OF the revenues of the crown

Henry III. The earliest tax mentioned
In "Domesday Book" is fumage. or

tax was revived under the name OF
