the Pennsylvania conspirators-the language is that of the president talking of the constitution and trying to hide any actual views he may have behind an eruditely sounding aggre- gation of legal phrases. Speaker Cannon, the arch stand batter" comes next in line with his insistence that the tariff and the trusts must not be annoyed on the eve of an cleo tion. Close behind the foxy speak, CT" stands Governor Hughes, almost as anti-Roosevelt and as friendly to Wall street as Senator Foraker, but not quite, while the Hon Joseph Ben son Foraker brings up the rear with the cry Down with Roosevelt" and his frantic denunciation of the rail- way rate law and of every other step which may hamper his friends and clients, the railroads. The republi- cans have in the past enjoyed them selves over what they sarcastically termed democratic harmony" but he laughs best who laughs last, and everyone is entitled to laugh at this spectacle of republican harmony"

Washington, which city ought to have been the scene of the peace con- ference between Russia and Japan, seems destined to have peace coufer- ence after all, and while it may not be of such worldwide importance as that held at Portsmouth, it will 0e of far greater benefit to the citizens of this continent. Practically all of the Central American republics to whom President Roosevelt and President Diaz have addressed their joint sug- gestion of a peace conference looks ing to the conclusion of a permanent treaty of peace and arbitration, have cordially accepted the proposal, and 1t is the opinion of their diplomatic representatives in Washington that that city will be chosen as the scene of the negotiations. There is, it is true, bare possibility that the city of MeXica may be chosen instead, hut that is regarded as wholly unlikely by the Nicaraguan minister and other Central American diplomats in Wash ingtOn.

ing fame by single burst of elegiac inspiration. Each of the poems here considered sprang from the feelings of the auth ors who produced them. Charles Wolfe was a fellow countryman of General Moore and was deeply moved by the pathos of the British soldiers tragic death and burial in a foreign land:
 No useless coffin inclosed his breast, Nor in sheet nor shroud we wound
 him;
 But he lay like a warrior taking his rest
 With his martial cloak around
 him.
 Colonel O'Hara took part in the consecration of the bivouac of his fallen comrades of the Mexican bat tie fields. Echoes of the past there fore surged through the brain that was inspired with the lines: The muffied drums sad roll has beat The soldiers last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet
 That brave and fallen few. On fame's eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead.
 Judge Finch was not soldier, but the heart of a born poet and the courage of q patriot conjured the pen when it spanned the still yawn- ing bloody chasm" with the bene- diction:
 No more shall the war cry sever
 Or winding rivers be red. They banish our anger forever
 When they laurel the graves of
 our dead.
 Under the sod and the dew.
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Love and tears for the blue.
 Tears and love for the gray
 At the time of its birth and in con- parison with the thrilling lines of Wolfe and O'Hara the civil war poem was looked upon as simple to the verge of fatal barrenness. But the greatest sermons are the simp- lest. The idea which inspired The Blue and the Gray" back in the later sixties had to grow. and it did grow until to-day it fills and even thrills the heart of the nation.

INHERITANCE TAX LAW.

By an act passed by the last gen. eral assembly, the Connecticut inher- itance tax applies to shares of the capital stock or registered bonds of all corporations organized and exist ing under the laws of this state, the certificates of which stock or which bonds shall be without the state. where the laws of the state or coun- try in which such deeedent resided shall, at the time of his decease, i'm pose a success on, inheritance, trans fer, or similar tax upon the shares of the capital stock or registered bonds of all corporations organized or existing under the laws of such state or country, held under such conditions at their decease by resi- dents of the state But the Con- necticut tax does not apply where there is no similar tax in the other state or country.
 Tax Commissioner W. H. Corbin is collecting information as to the laws of other states and coutries in order to i.nd out where the recip- rOcal legislation applies. and he will notify the judges of probate of the state of the result of his investisa- tiOns as soon as possible He has already had a number of letters on the subject from other lawmaking localities.

Political observers declare that never in its history has the republi- can party been so widely split up on the eve of a presidential election. Heretofore. that magnificent discip- line which has so often made for re- publican success. has caused the lead CTS of the party to bury their differ ences and abandon their convictions in order that success might be wrest- cd from the democracy. This year. however. there is the widest discrep- ancy between the two factions of the party. and each candidate and leader seems determined to adhere to his own line Of reasoning. At the ex- treme right. for instance, stands Theodore Roosevelt. advocating pOli- cies which are radical and obnoxious Go the old line republicans Next in line stands Secretary Taft. advOcat- ing most though not all. of the Roosevelt policies Next comes Secre- tary CorteIyOu trying dexterously to carry water on both shoulders and by his power as secretary of the treas ury to nloIIify the Wall street inter ests while he refraius from offending the plain citizen voters Senator Knox stands next. the candidate of

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1907.

Now and then some speaker makes boast that the world is growing better every day and that within the next fifty years man will be almost perfect. While there may be some truth in these statements, there is very little evidence available to back it up to be found in places where one has an opportunity of getting a line upon what is going on in the or dinary walks of life. When you see old women and old men bent under the weight of years inquiring the1r way to the office of the department of charities and then when they reach there hear them tell of the ingrati- tude of sons and daughters you be- gin to lose faith in the good people who are constantly talking about the world being on the mend and after a few object lessons of this sort you come to the conclusion that instead of getting better the world is moving in the other direction.

Dispatches from Tokio announce that the government there has just received the report of the commission sent to investigate the killing of the Japanese seal pOachers on the island of St Paul about a year ago, that the report is an entire exculpatiOn of the poachers who were more sinned against than shining, and-most re- markable of all--that the Japanese government has made representations to the state department looking to reparation. This is one of the most remarkable announcements that has ever emanated from Tokio, a place whence remarkable announcements are not uncommon. The truth of the mat ter is that the first secretary of the Japanese embassy in Washington was sent to St Paul immediately after the Japanese seal poachers were killed there, and he reported to his govern ment that the Japanese were wholly in the wrong and that if they had not been ashore stealing sealskins they would never have been killed. .lt least that is what he told our secre- tary of state that he reported. His report was never made public by the Japanese government. Since then the Japanese public has been looking for some sort of a government an nouncemcnt on the subject. and now they have it. The dispatch says that the Japanese people are awaiting the outcome their government can expect outcom their government can expect is a little hard to See.
