THE NEW YORK SITUATION.
Nomination Of Hearst Creates Great
Political Commotion.


To receive enough votes in state
convention to give a candidate the
gubernatorial nomination of the DEM
ocratic party is one thing, but to be
elected to that office by the vote Of the
people is quite another proposition. A
conventions makeup may be such
that one man may control votes
enough to guarantee the nomination
of any person he may see fit to favor
In the convention. But when the pop
ular election comes on 1t is very big
man who can control sufficient votes
at the polls to carry out his schemes
as forecasted in the nominating con-
vention.
The nomination of VIM. R. Hearst
for the New York governorship at
Charles F. Murphy, the leader Of Tam
many Hall. No one else lays any claim
to the honor. All the glory belongs
To Mr.. Murphy. The nomination OF
Hearst has split the Democratic party
of New York all to pieces. Scores OF
prominent New York Democrats, both
in the city and in the state have come
out fiatfooted against Hearst and say
that in the November elections they
will support Charles E. Hughes, the
Republican nominee for governor.
Mayor McClelland of New York city,
himself a product of Tammany Hall
says he will vote the state Democratic
ticket, but not for Hearst. He says:
Il am unalterably opposed to Charles
F.. Murphy and everything he stands
for" The New York Herald, independ-
ent in politics, with Democratic ten
denotes. says of Hearst's nomination:
The Democratic party of this state
has been sold and its emblem turned
over to the purchaser, but the Demo-
cratic voters cannot be delivered. 1t
is a strange situation, but every hon

vided for in very clear and practic-
,ularly severe statute passed in 1902.
A case of this kind came up in Co
lumbia recently in which the purchas-
er was cautious enough to get legal
advice before making an entry Of this
kind. He was advised that 1t would
not be either right or safe to make the
entry for anything less than the price
paid. OF course, the law allows deeds
to make out "for one dollar and love
and affection" but this is another
matter. Any deed in which the pur-
chase price of the property Is falsely
entered with a view to lodging taxes
may be upset by proceedings Of the
court In fact the act specifically de-
clares all such deeds null and void
Following is copy Of the act in ques-
tion:
Section 1. That all contracts thai
are entered into to evade payment OF
taxes or in fraud Of the tax law Of this
state, be and they are hereby declared
against public policy.
"Sec. 2. That no court In this state
shall lend its aid in enforcement OF
such contract whether the same has
been heretofore entered into or may
hereafter be entered into.
"Sec. 3. That the courts Of this
state shall not lend their aid to en-
force any contract entered into as
substitute for, or having as its con-
sideration a previous contract Of the
nature or class of contracts hereinbe-
fore declared against public policy"

UNCLE SAM INTERVIEWS.
Secretary Taft Is Now Provisional
Governor of Cuba.

Secretary Taft Is Now Provisional
Governor Of Cuba.
Intervention in Cuba Is proceeding
along smoothly in accordance with the
prearranged programme with which the
American public is being made ac-
quainted as Its various steps are being
carried out.
Mr.. Taft went over to Cuba and had
talk with the Palma government and
then with the leaders of the insurrec-
ton. He talked conciliation to both
sides; but his proposed conciliation
was on a basis impossible OF agree
ment
President Palma having already be-
come thoroughly tired Of the situation
was ready to resign anyway. His col
leagues were not exactly willing for
his resignation, and neither were they
willing to make reasonable terms with
the other side. That was all to be ex-
pected. But President Palma saw he
could not hold the situation together
any longer, and insisted on throwing
up the sponge. There was nobody to
take his place, except Mr.. Taft, and
Mr.. Taft quietly took charge as had
been arranged from the first.
A formal announcement Of American
Intervention was made last Saturday.
The announcement was made in an
easy going matter Of fact kind Of way,
and included an explanation that 1t
was only temporary; that so soon as
order was restored the government
would be turned back over to the Gu
bans.
Upon being notified that Taft had
reached the Intervention stage last
Saturday, the president ordered the
sending Of 5000 troops to Cuba. All
arrangements had already been per-
fected for this step. Indeed prepara-
tions had been going on for several
weeks. and there was little else for the
troops to do but to commence moving.
But six thousand troops are not
enough, and as many more will be dis
patched to the island within the next
few weeks.
It is not understood that there Is any
general opposition in Cuba to inter-
yention. AS a matter Of fact the rival
political factions are equally we'll sat-
isfied Neither side has any confidence
in the other side, and both sides real
ize their own incapacity. They recog-
nize that only Is the United States
government powerful enough to hold
the situation down and they figure
that with a division Of the Offices Of
power and authority as between the
two factions, and the immense guam
titles of cash the United States gov
ernment will turn loose in the island
life will again be worth living.
But after all Intervention is the most
sensible action on the part Of the
United States. Something like two
thirds of the population Of Cuba is
made up of ignorant negroes. These
negroes have no aspiration to govern.
They do not know enough; but being
free to do as they please, 1t Is easy
to get them to follow almost any kind
Of a marauding outlaw, and the idea
Of free government is too absurd to
think about.
1t is not now thought that the Amer
lean troops will be called upon to. do
any fighting. Such a thing is quite
possible 1t Is true; but then 1t is gen.
orally believed that the presence Of
the troops will be sufficient to pre-
serve order.

DANGEROUS TAX DoDGiNG.

The attention of Comptroller Gener-
al Jones, says the Columbia correspon-
dent of the News and Courier, has
been directed to the fact that many
people who have been dealing in real
estate as an investment or otherwise
have been falsely entering the pur-
chase price in the deed as a means Of
escaping taxation on a lawful per
cent basis. Now while one may be
strongly tempted to do a thing of this
sort by reason of the fact that proper
ty is assessed at such an outrageously
inequitable and therefore unjust man
ner, it Is nevertheless a form Of tax
lodging, and as such is specially pro-
