The list-takers are instructed by
the corporation commission that the
only individuals exempt from taxes
are Federal officers, and the only
species OF property United States
bonds. This will meet the approval
of the average citizen. This paper
took the position from the first that
there was no reason why q public
officer should not pay tax on his
salary, as much so anyone else. No
one, of course, blames anyone to
avail himself of the provisions of the
law, but we believe most public officers
will not regret that they areon foot
ing in this respect with the average
citizen. AS we underestimate, there
has been 70 decision which would
clearly apply..to State officer, and yet
we understand that State officers
claim exemption from income taxes
on the ground that their salaries are
not subject to taxation. This re-
quirement by the corporation COM
mission that all salaries except those
of Federal officers be listed, will, of
course, bring the matter to u head,
and the courts will say who is and
who is not subject to an income tax.

Southern Democratic Sentiment.
Review of Reviews for Nav.

For its preservation intact through
the vicissitudes of these past years,
the Democratic party is indebted to
it's one reliable and unshrinking asset
namely, the "Solid South" Eight
years ago, the South followed the
West in an enthusiastic adoption of
the principles of "Coin" Harvey as
popularly expounded by Mr.. Bryan.
Four years ago, for consistency's
sake, it stood by Mr.. Bryan in re-
affirming the money plank of 1896.
But this year it has swung complete
ly back to it's earlier views, and thus
the money question disappears as a
party issue. An eminent Southern
Democrat is now governor OF the
Philippines, and the best opinion of
the country seems pretty we'll united
upon the altruistic view that for the
present we must simply do the best
we can for the Filipino people. The
issue of imperialism, as passionately
presented by Mr. Bryan four years
ago, would fall fat in the South this
year. 1t cannot play much practical
part in the campaign. The steps that
have been taken to secure the build
ing of the Panama Canal upon strip
of territory brought under the per-
petual sovereignty of the United
States are in fruition of that expan-
sion policy by which we have ac-
quired Porto Rico and a great naval
station on the Southern coast of
Cuba, to dominate the waters of the
Caribbean Sea and the Gulf CT Mexico;
and i'll accordance with which we
acquired Hawaii, at the crossroads
OF the Pacific, and will, under all cir
cumstances, retain coaling and naval
stations in the Philippines. The
South is not unhappy about these
matters.

The First Battle on Land,

Raleigh Post
While the Port Arthur fleet was
going to pieces, literally speaking,
as we'll as metaphorically, the Rus
slams were saying: 'Just wait until
we meet the japanese on dry land,
and then there will be something do
ing" or words to that effect. Well,
the land force of the belligerents
have met, and, sure enough, there
was something doing, but not in the
way one would have expected from
what the Russians have been telling
Us to cheer us up when we were de-
pressed over the prospect of the car
losing his soldiers as we'll as his ships.
The Japanese had dash and spirit,
we were told, and the fact was ad-
mitted i'll Mukden; but the Russians,
1t was calmly asserted, had staying
qualities. AS to the latter PROPOSE
tion we must confess that the results
at this writing have proved disap-
pointing. Sunday morning the first
battle of the war took place, and the
Russians, instead of "staying" as
was expected, found it convenient to
remove somewhat hastily to a less
exposed locality. At latest accounts
the japanese were camping on the
field OF battle and pulling themselves
together for another dash at the
enemy. Possibly they are dashing
some more at this very moment.
All of which goes a little way to-
ward creating a suspicion that the
Japanese can fight on land as we'll as
on sea. But one swallow does not
make Il summer and one battle does
lot decide a war. Perhaps the Rus
slams will "stay" at the next meeting
place. We shall wait to hear from
the next battle before permitting the
suspicion just mentioned to develop
into a settled conviction.

1t all amounts to the same thing
in the end, so far as the negro is con
cerned. Heis denied equality at some
stage of the association with the
white man; but the South's way is
the honest and direct way. 1t holds
out no false hope, it makes 10 pre-
tense that because the negro is ''edu-
Gated and cultivated' he is entitled
to social recognition up to certain
point, namely, to the seat at the
dining table. The South says fatty:
We will not start on that route at
all; we will not even consider it. AS
long as we intend to uphold our idea
of white purity, it is not even to be
thought of. That is honest, because
it is the truth, and it is direct. 1t
avoids the chance of any misunder-
standing of the relative position of
the races.

The Wilmington Star upon hearing
that supposed dead man had come
to life just as his friends were about
to put him in a coffin, is moved to
offer the following suggestion:
'This is a notable circumstance, it
is true, but it will be just one more
argument for Col. William Jennings
Bryan that his friends should con-
tinue to sit up with the corpse of the

there is any sign of life in the 1898

japan's Fighting Admiral.

From "Vice Admiral Togo: A Type OF the
Japanese Fighting Man by Hirata Tat
suo, in the American Monthly Review OF
Reviews for May.
In the family of Togo, in the clan
of Satsuma, was born q child. His
friends gave him the name of Heiha-
chiro. Satsuma is one of the greatest
homes of the fighting traditions OF
the Nippon samurai. Among the
men OF sword, in the happier days of
the Elder Nippon, you need only tell
the world that you are q samurai
from Satsuma to enthrone yourself
upon the crest of your countrymen's
esteem as fighting man. The fami-
ly named of Togo is nearly as his
torical as the military genius OF the
Satsuma clan. 1t was on the four
teenth day of October, 1857, that
the child of fate first opened his eyes.
That was just about the time when
the New Nippon was making blind
gestures in her swaddling-clothes.
So, you see, the present commander
of Nippon forces on sea and the New
Nippon are the children of almost
the same cradle
A little later, Saigo Takamori, the
commander OF all the imperial forces,
led the brocade banners on their all
victorious course into the very heart
Of the Castle Capital of the Shotgun.
The chronicles show him to have
been the greatest military genius
that Nippon has ever produced since
the days of Taiko and Iyeyasu. He,
too, was a son of Satsuma. And the
two families of Saigo and Togo are
intimately connected.
Stern fact presents Admiral Togo
as nothing more nor less than an ad-
mirable type of Nippon's fighting
men-poor in dinner speeches, poor
er in the graces OF military "cake-
walk" and poorer yet in the touches
of human weaknesses on the actual
field of battle which would afford
such delicious opportunity for the
editorial critic.
