Not only have they been inadequate

LODGING THE BURDENS,

To make taxation equal, to make it bear equally on the rich and the poor, on the just and the unjust, on the honest man and the dishonest one, is a problem that has always vexed the makers and the enforcers of the law. The Pittsburg Sun has this to say on the subject:
 Lake county. Indiana, hnds that while the Standard oil Company should Is listed for only s3,O00,000. One block of eighty dwellings which it rents is said to have escaped the assessors eyes altogether, while those adjoining are down at high value. This is the way with these huge concerns. The best able to pay taxes. the Cnes who require most support and protection of the goyernmsnt. are none the less the least willing to pay. Dodgers of taxes, seekers after rebates. corrupters of off cials in public and private capacities, the real anarchists and subyerters of which seek to gather added profits in defiance of law and morals.
 One complaint that is continually heard in various sections of the coun- try Is that taxes are too heavy, but in many cases at least the explanation Is given above. When a certain sum is to be raised by taxation each year. if the most valuable properties and the wealthiest men and corporations fail to pay their proportionate share the shortage must be made up by others for whom there Is no escape. In one ,f o,r Tayas axchanPes racantIv we noted the complaint that the rate of taxation Is excessive. but 1t was added that this was due to the fact that as a general thing property in that State is not assessed at much more than half it's value. If all property of ev- cry kind and description could be assessed at exactly half Its value a high tax rate of one dollar on property valued at five hundred dollars would be no more to the payer than a rate Of fifty cents on property assessed at one thousand dollars.
 The example given in the above ex- tract from The Sun Is not q solitary one. In New York city dodgIng and evasion of taxes Is such a reg liar bus mess that 1t excites little notice, ex- cept an occasional reference. Each year after the tax lists are completed the very wealthy men and the big cor porations come forward and swear off their taxes with regularity and dispatch, and each year the city loses millions of dollars through this form of swindling. for that Is what it is in plain English. Some of the newspa- pers will make reference to it but 1t Is all taken as a matter of course.

Third Tickets.

washington F0SL
 The .free-soil ticket caused the de- feat. of Henry Clay in 1S44, and four years later it plowed with the Whig heifer and elected the Whig ticket, headed by General Taylor. In 1854 it was absorbed by the Republican party and its ideas triumphed in great war.
 In 1856 the know-nothing party con tributed materially to the election of Buchanan. for the bulk of the vote Fillmore received at the North would have been cast for F'rement If there Democratic and Republican. In 1880 the greenback ticket accomplished the election of Garfield by making ardent appeals for converts from the Demo- cratic ranks and no appeals at all to the Republicans in pivotal states. Af- ter the election, Weaver, the green back candidate, and Sparks, a Demo- cratic member from Illinois, advanc ed upon each other for a fist fight on the floor of congress in open session. on this very account
 There Is no sort of doubt that the candidacy of St. John, on the prohibi-. tion ticket, occasioned the defeat of James c. Blaine in 1884. He got com siderable vote in New York that Blaine would have received. In 1892 the populist ticket served to make Cleveland's victory more signal. but Cleveland would have been elected that year if every populist in the union had voted the Republican ticket. 1896 got a beggaIly support at the polls, but it would have received more than 2,O0O, ,00O votes if every man who preferred 1t to either of the leading tickets had voted for it. Hundreds Of thousands of Democrats who preferred the gold standard. voted for Bryan, and more than i .000. 900 such cast their ballots for Mckinley"

 Bor years 1t has been impossible to work at the great depth to which the shafts had been sunk owing to the in rush of water And during all this fruitless schemes to drain the mine so that the immensely rich vein of metal might resume its former business of serted rather positively in dispatches from Virginia City that the tunnels are nearly finished, that the laby- rinth of excavations will be tapped. that the water is drawn off and that mining can soon be recommended.

 The present generation only has vivid remembrance of two former min ing levers. One was when the great strikes were made at Cripple Creek and the other when the first strange tales came down from the Klondike. Both the Colorado fields and the Alas kan mines have more than made good all the exuberant promises made for them. Some of the newer mines In Me- vada now seem quite as likely to jus tify the faith which capitalists and small investors are putting in them. The states population has ncarlY doubled in six years, millions of out side money has been sent there to develop the mines. from some of which streams of gold and sivler are now pourinR forth

wAArs ro CoNyERr us.

The following from a contemporary is almost emusing from one point of view. and is interesting besides: ! Several years ago considerable atten- tfon was attracted by @ Mohammedar who came to New York as a mission-
 to propagate ,g,is his religion a,,Hs,, but , an sary has now appeared in the person lof a Yauui Indian sun worshiper. His name Is Wounded Elk. and he is a full blooded Indian who has been educated at Carlisle. Hc accepts civilization as better than barbarism in almost every ything except religion
 Of course all Christian people are firm In their belief that the Christian religion is the only true one. That Is right. but 1t is not at all strange that there are others who think and fee. differently. This Indian. to whom al- fusion is above made. is an educated man who has had both time and op- portunity to study our religion, yet he declares that the more he sees of other faiths the more thoroughly he is con- yinced that his is the only true one. ''Our God" he said. "s a reality to us while the Christian God never mani fests his real presence"
 Shall we laugh or sheer at hime IT SO. on what ground? Suppose an earn est and conscientious Buddhist, Mo hammedan, Shintoist, or some other who we look on as heather should come over here with the firm convic- ton that it is his duty to convert us to what he considers the true faith. how could we blame him. seeing that we send missionaries over to convert his people? The Mohammedan who wanted to convert New York was act ing according to the lights before him, and we suspect that If he had remain ed long in that city he would have de- cided that 1t was past converting. The Yaqui Indian Is doubtless honest, and we may give him credit for that with out any reflection on our own faith and religion.

TT MIGHT HAVE BEuy

In a recent address delivered in Philadelphia, says The Charleston Post, James Bryce, the British Ambassador, declared that If America had remain ed colonial ward of England Presi- dent Roosevelt would not have been confronted with such world important problems as he is now called upon to solve: that the development of the United States would have been more gradual; that slavery would not have endured so long. and would have pass. ed away, perhaps without bloodshed; railroads. less internal strife and con- seauently fewer big problems to solve. Tn short we should have had less his- tory and more happiness. But we should have missed mighty lot of fun and that's what we like above everything else in this country"
 It Is always easy for one to say what might have been, because there is no possible means of disproving anything that may be said in such cases. We know historically, experi- mentally and otherwise what has been, but just what would have been if what really did occur had not happen ed the wisest of men cannot say. That little word '1r' is wonderful factor in human affairs. There is much virtue in If." remarked one of Shakes peare's characters, and there Is also much power in it. We are told in an old saying that if the dog had not stopped he would have caught the rab bit. but the dog stopped a moment and the rabbit escaped. We do not know for certain that the dog would have caught his prey if he had kept run- ming.
 Being an Englishman we suppose Mir. Bryce may be pardoned for claim ing that everything would have been lovely and all have gone smoothly and prosperously If the American Colonies had not taken the bit between their teeth and bolted. That is his opinion, honestly held, no doubt, but he can only conjecture as to what would have been the ultimate result if this whole country had remained a dependency Of Great Britain. As to that matter. we are not sure that We would have been better off if all had turned out as he says. We are very much of the opinion that things turned out for the best, in the main.
