i. VIEWPOINTS TAXES.

1t is just as well perhaps that the city council of Newport was
in relentng mood last evening. The threat OF the representatives
Of the 400 that the general assembly would be asked to make pro-
vision for two Newports was a dangerous one, far more dangerous
than such a threat would have been in other places. Taxes are
queer things at best. a supreme court decided that an income tax
was unconstitutional because incomes under a certain amount were
exempt.
According to the views OF the highest court taxation is burden
to be imposed equally upon all. OF course whether an income tax
was right in principle or not was not up for discussion. The rich
of Newport should not be overtaxed for the very foundations OF all
free government is a just distribution OF the burdens of maintaining
the government, but they should receive no special favors. Perhaps
the city council of Newport found that the tax assessors had not
been as impartial as they should have been; and perhaps again the
citizens OF Newport brought such influences TO bear that the council
men weakened.
At any rate the citizens of Newport have had certain expert
cnces with the legislature that made them a bit nervous about de-
pending on the state law-making body for justice toward the City
bv the Sea. Newport want to be let alone as much as possible since
its experience with the police commission. By the way, Governor
Utter seems to have forgotten that some charges were made against
the members Of this same commission. 1t seemed to the Newport
city fathers probably better to take a small portion OF the revenue
it might have had than TO force the legislature TO decide between
Rhode Island residents and men and women who are rich enough
to move about and escape just taxes.

A TREATY SIGNED.

With ceremonies, which if not spectacular were nevertheless
impressive, the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed just before q o'clock
yesterday afternoon and by that act the war between Japan and
Russia, that for nineteen months has been a continuing tragedy
which the world has witnessed with feelings of horror because of the
magnitude of the slaughter involved, was brought to an end. The
conflict was not a prolonged one, but it was frightfully costly in
human life from the very moment when Togo struck his first blow
against Russias sea power at Port Arthur to the crushing of Roest-
venskys feet in the sea Of Japan. In those nineteen months history
has been made to a extent and an importance that can now be only
vaguely comprehended.
In the text of the treaty as finally given to the world there is
nothing new or surprising. 1t presents in formal and technical Ian
guage the main points of agreement with which the public was ac-
quainted during the progress of the negotiations. The two articles
added to the treaty at the last moment concern the time of the evacu-
alton of Manchuria. which is to be completed in eighteen months
the number of troops to be left as railway guards and the deinita-
ton of the boundary between Jap and Rus territory in Sakhaln
island.
While the treaty of Portsmouth cannot be regarded as entirely
satisfactory to either nation, it certainly means a lasting peace. There
is nothing in it affecting the honor OF either Russia or Japan. BY inn
plcation, at least, it acknowledges Japan the victor and that country
great point achieved, so far as Japan and indeed other nations arc
concerned, is the hating of Russias advance in the far east. Here
after Japan need have little fear Of encroachment by Russia. A new
balance has been established in the far east, and the car will hesitate
long before he attempts to disturb it.
BY the peace of Portsmouth the limit of his Asian territory has
been fixed. If he again oversteps it, not only will he have Japan to
reckon with, but Jspans powerful allies IS well.

A FAITHFUL TRUSTEE.

The name OF Jacob L. Greene, who died a few months ago at Hart
ford and an inventory of whose estate has just been filed, is likely to be
remembered and honored long after the names of men who achieved
far greater success, according to the measure of wealth accumulated,
have been forgotten. For many years Mr.. Greene was the executive
dominant was his personality that to thousands OF persons he APP
peared to be the company. Great power he undoubtedly welded
legally, and he added to it by his forceful personal influence. He
was the chief custodian and steward of the companys funds, which
at the beginning Of the present year amounted to $65oooooo.
1t is easy to conceive that the opportunities of a man in such a
position TO acquire wealth arc many. He can secure riches in ways
that many men esteemed as pillars of probty do not question or CON
denim; in ways that infringe no law and are frequently accepted
as legitimate. When Mr.. Greene died in March last. therefore. there
was a general belief even among those who thought they knew how
strict were his ideas concerning the privileges Of a trustee that his
estate could not possibly be worth less than a million dollars and
would probably exceed that sum.
Last week his executors filed an inventory which shows the
total of Mr.. Greenes worldly possessions to have been only about
than a modest competence difficult to find. He was not among those
who regard the acquiring and exploiting OF money as the chief pur-
pose of life. lie erected no palaces; he gave no fancy dress balls.
he entertained no foreign ambassadors. nor did he indulge in any
of the fils and fads that signalze the extravagances OF fashionable
society. Not often did his name appear in the Directory of Di
rectors, nor was he ever known TO organize a syndicate to float
bonds into the companys treasury at a fat profit to the noaters;
or TO borrow large sums from that treasury for the promotion Of any
private enterprise.
On the moderate salary paid him for his services he lived with
dignity and deoency and in return he devoted all his time. his talent
and his energy TO the safe, efficient and economical administration
of his great trust. lie realized that the polieyhodcrs had made
