TAXATION AND RAILWAYS.
How Radical Legislation Works Harm TO

To TIE RDIToR or THB SUN-Str: Your
dispatches indicate q decided curtailment

cause Of the radical action OF the State on
the tax question. Verify, the work OF the
long haired and the pompadoured statesmen

htoal ambitions Of demagoEu Is often very

Chief Justice Marshall said that the power

operations. State action-espeoially on the
tax oueston-usuAlly serves as a safety valve
for railway development. Unequal or IN
just taxation invariably serves 70 ourtRil
railway operations and development. The
result IL that there Is less taxable property
subject to assessment and the rate goes
higher. This appears to be the situation in
Wisconsin to-day, Radical tax legislation has
probably reduced the amount Of railway prop
eTty In the state. and the rate has been raised

Enemies OF Business ?

According to an Albany despatch,
the petition Of 80, 900 business men against
the Stock Tax bill was rather regarded
In q humorous light Business is such
a joke; and the scheme to drive an i'm
portapt business out Of the city Of New
York Is 80 waggishl
We can't believe that the mighty Re

upon businesssip 30 sportive a light.
They seem to regard 1t as an enemy to
Be fined and crippled.
The Stock Tax bill; the Mortgage Tax
bill; the bill passed by the Legislature,
and now In the hands Of the Governor,
putting a tax Of per cent. on the pre-
mfums Of life insurance companies;
tho proposition to substitute for the
stock tax an even moro generally annoy
ing check tax; all these seem to show
q persistent intention on the part Of
their proposers and 'abettors to injure
business, and q perfect contempt for
business men.
The business men will strike back,
II they have to. and strike hard. II the
Republicans in the Legislature show
themselves the enemies OF business,
business will show itself the enemy Of
the Republican party Of New York In

The States and the Treaty Maxim 8
Power.

The treatment given by the Senate
TO the Presidents project Of a treaty
with Santo Domingo may tend TO oon-
vince Europeans that the United States
cannot, under its existing written Con-
stitution, hold such intimate relations
with the European Powers commonly
classified as great as the States occupy
toward each other. They In the Old
World may think and feel that, unless
the United States has an accessible Gov
eminent with which other nations can
deal secretly, quickly, firmly as well
as safely, in a diplomatic way, then it
must, notwithstanding its ownership Of
islands in the Western and Far Eastern
seas, be looked on as rather outside the
intimate international family group,
That. thinking and feeling may be cor
rect from a European, but 1t is not from
anAmerican point Of view, which Is that
Gtreaty Is Rthlng ofvery serious import,
not only because d binds the Govern
msnt at Washington to foreign Gov
eminent IN its political speoulations but,
because It may affect forty-fvo State,
governments besides In a very direct
way, and all the people thereof to-,
gstherwith their property therein.
Every European statesman and pub
Hoist now knows that the United States
Il an indestructible nation Of States
federated by an indissoluble tie, but not
al Of them realize perhaps that by the
written bond Of union the title, descent
and security Of property, the care Of
health and morals, the punishment Of
crime, the relations Of marriage, Of
parent and child, a whole catalogue Of
homo rights, social duties, business con-
Germs and municipal organizations are
within the exclusive Jurisdiction Of the
several States which q treaty might
disregard.
JOHN QUnsoT ADAMS once startled the
lower house Of Congress by the DECLARE
ton that slave labor could be extermi-
mated In the United States by treaties
with powerful foreign nations. d,
In 1887. on the request Of the then
Minister Of Prussia In Washington, the
State Department asked the opinion Of
Attorney General CUSHING on the ques-
ton Whsther or not a treaty would re-
move en- impeachment in State lava
against land owning by aliens. He re-
piled In the Affirmative, and cited su-
preme Court decisions TO that eject.
II that be 90, and treaty can thus level

Il the greater reason for use by the Sem
ate Of more than the hundred eyes Of
ARGUS.
History shows that the men who made
the Constitution carefully oonsidered
the very points which European critics
are making. Conflict and rivalry were
then between the big and the little States.
The latter would not consent that the
President have power to alone make
treaties which might impair their rights.
They cared more foP them than for ia
