profit TO himself or at an excessive cost TO the
home purchaser of his products.
There are those, too, who maintain that the
corporation tax carried In the Senate bill viii
prove an additional valuable means Of correcting
false impressions as to the need of protection.
If 1t puts the government into possession Of the
business secrets Of corporations conducting pro-
tected industries there can be no longer any dis
pute, when tariff laws are being framed, as to
the strength or weakness of those industries.
This view was expressed by Senator Root the
other day in his speech defending the imposition
Of the corporation tax He said:

1890 put the average death rate Of cities In the
United States at 22.1, and In rural districts at
I53. The metropolis is evidently in fair way
to become one of the most healthful spots on
earth.
The results thus far attained are the fruit OF
many agencies, voluntary and official. This Is
particularly true of the headway made in the
war on tuberculosis. which still causes about II
per cent Of the deaths here. The officials recog-
nize the large share in this work performed by
the medical societies and benevolent organiza-
tions, and they cannot fail to derive encourage
ment from the success already achieved
There's a fine stimulus in seeing the enemy be-
gin TO yield.
New-York tribune., 1909-07-04
A Cult OF ANARCHY.

The chief seriousness of the anarchical and
murderous disaffectlon in British India resides
in the fact that It is identified with, If indeed
it is not the direct outgrowth and product or
a religious cult. It has long been known that
some of the wOrshippers of silva incline to mag
Nifty his attributes as a destroyer above all
others and TO regard it as a pious act to take
away human life. That sort Of fanaticism is.
indeed, not uncommon in the East, anG wher
ever it exists, whether among the most savage
Thugs and head hunters among the 'laOst
intelligent and cultivated MaErattas, it is one
Of the most persistent and ineradicable pas
sions. OF course, it would be monstrous er-
ror to suppose that Brahmansm generally ap-
proves such practices. The cult OF anarchy and
assassination comprises only trifing percent
age Of the whole Hindu population. But even
a small percentage Of so vast nation may be
formidable.
1t was among the Mahrattas that the propa
ganda OF violent agitation against British rule
arose and that the policy of making British
officeholding extra hazardous, and thus estab-
fishing a reign of terror began to be practised.
Thus far the actual application Of that policy
has been confined chiefly, if not entirely, to the
Benga1ese. The birthplace of the agitation was
Poona whence It extended TO Baroda, and
thence some five or six years ago to Calcutta
itself Young men in the guise Of students were
sent abroad-to Japan, to Europe and to Amer
ica-to get In touch with the criminal elements
in those countries and TO learn from them how
to prepare bombs and other explosives, and
these ON their return to India impaired TO others
the information which they had received Act
ual schools of crime were conducted in Cal
cutta and elsewhere, In which young men were
instructed In the manufacture and use of ex-
plosives and were inspired with fanatical zeal
for the practice of deadly arts.
This sort of thing went on for some time
before the British Indian government began TO
pay serious attention to it or to try to suppress

NEW YORK SOCIETY.

Most Of the week openings to-day viii BE- de-
voted 20 patriotic celebrations The anniversary OF
the birth OF the Republic which. strictly speaking
falls to-day will I've observed tomorrow, while an
other historic event commenoTated to-day is the
discovery of Lake Champlain, together with the
fateful battle fought on Its shores by Samuel de
Champlan against the lroquols. just three hun
dred years ago. The festivities In connection
Herewith which may be said to begin to-day with
RELIGIOUS ceremonies at Plattsburg. presided over
by Cardinal Gibbons. Will extend throughout the
week and will be attended by the President OF the
United States, by Lord Grey, Governor General Of
Canada and by Governor Hughes.
Detachments of infantry. cavalry and artillery
of the regular army. under the command OF Major
General Leonard Wood, will figure conspicuously
in the celebration. Among the features OF the
week VIII be the opening OF old Fort Tconderoga,
which has been restored with the utmost fidelity
by Mr. and Mrs Stephen II. P. Pell at expense
of about $500 900. It is said to occupy the site OF
De Champlain's memorable victory, and stands

police at work. but it was not until two women
had been killed with bomb, a little more than
a year ago that any vigorous action was taken.
Then house at Calcutta was raided, stores OF
bombs and weapons were seized and thirty al
legged anarchists were arrested. It was found
that the leaders OF the conspiracy were men
who had studied in England, some Of them at
the great universities, and who, returning to
India, preached sedition and assassination to
their fellows, especially to those who had sur
fered disappointments in their efforts TO get
into the public service or who had real or
imaginary grievances against the government.
The pseudo-religious character Of the move
ment is, of course its most formidable feature
and that which makes 1t most delicate and diff
cult to deal with One Of the primal and in
dispensable principles Of British rule in India
has always been respect for all religious creeds
and impartiaity toward them. OF course,
cult OF murder is not entitled to the i'm
munities of religion. But the trouble is that the
moment the government lays hands on these
fanaticaI assassins the cry is raised that IT is
prosecuting men on account of their religion,
and that arouses the apprehension If not the
hostility of other religionists who have moth
ing in common with the murderers. Moreover.
the tribe Of Pagett, NJ. P, and Lord Benlra
Trigg is numerous and there are always those
who-at a safe distance from the scene-pa-
theticslly deplore any interference with their
brown Aryan brothers rights to the gentle
pastime of bomb throwing or revolver shooting.
For this reason it may be that practical good
will follow the monstrous evil OF murder in
London. The perspective Of South KensingtOn
is different from that of Muzaffarpore

c0ulfERCTAL DEMOCRATS.

Those who remember the 6erceness with
which Senator Tillman turned several years
ago on his former colleague, Senator John l..
NcLaurin. for adopting some mildly advanced
views on the subject of protection to the cot
ton industry and the promotion OF trade III
cottons with the Far East by giving postal sub
ventions 70 American steamship lines are some
what nonplussed to find Mr.. Tillman now far
outrunning Mr.. McLaurtn in devotion to the
idea Of advancing trade and industry in South
Carolina by no less discriminating Republican
or semi Republican expedents. Mr.. McLaurin
called himself Commercial Democrat Mr..
Tillman called him an Assistant Republican ana
drove him out Of the Democratic organization
in South Carolina.
In arguing for a high protective duty on tea
a South Carolina product-Nir. Till1nan said the
other day in the Senate;
There are those who have come TO believe
and they in the majority now In this cham
Der and probably IN the country for the time be-
ing-that in addition to levying tariff for
revenue it IS permissible and lawful to levy L
tariff solely 10 encourage American industries
or To protect American labor against foreign
labor.
New-York tribune., 1909-07-04
And again:

1 do not see FOR the life of me how any Dem
ocratic Senator can object to voting for 1t lthe
tea dutyI if he wants additional revenue. and
especially when Senators on this side have ad-
vocated duties on lumber and iron ore-for which
voted-uuebracho and one thing and another
here. which gave revenue. While affording some
degree of encouTagement-I VIII not say pro
tection"-to certain local industries.
Hasn't Saul, the prosecutor, become Paul, the
convert? Mr. MeLaurin IS dead. If he were
alive. Mr.. TilIman would clearly owe II to ap-
pearances to invite him back into the party and
10 propose that they renew political activities
together as Commercial Democrats.
New-York tribune., 1909-07-04

The cents bearing the portrait Of Lincoln
will be welcomed as eagerly as though they
were coins OF greater value. 1t Will be novel
experience to have American coins bearing the
portrait OF somo real person. but It will be agree
able and may set an example for imitation.
New-York tribune., 1909-07-04

Importations OF hides are Increasing IN spite
OF the tariff duty They form one-third Of the
material used here In the manufacture OF leath
er. and the domestic raw material does not
promise to increase sufficiently TO crowd for
eign hides out. Many varieties of foreign hides
do not even encounter domestic competition.
There seems TO be no valid reason, therefore,
for continuing a duty on what IS merely by
product of the cattle raising industry. The duty
costs the country much more than II IS worth.

It Is not at all surprising that the various
Liberal factions in the Reichstag should de
sire that body TO be dissolved. They are moral
ly certain that IN the general election which
would ensue they would make material gains
at the expense OF the Conservatives and Agra
rians. But conceivably that is the reason. or
one or the reasons why the Emperor hesitates
to Eive the word for dissolution. For. great as
