Tax on Earnings.

From the New York Sun.
We hear from Washington that a
tax on the net earnings Of corporations
Is regarded as tax on wealth and
therefore desirable and acceptable and
q bond OF union between conservative
and progressive republicans. OF
course. anybody who knows enough to
dress himself in the daylight knows
that there are hundreds Of thousands
OF small shareholders in corporations.
and that the number has been increas-
Ing remarkably OF late years. We find
nothing in the republican platform
about fining these people. This is q
period at Washington OF muddling,
waiting, arranging terms for compro-
mise. That is how we account for
what looks like a confusion OF coun-
sells and darkening Of knowledge. For
whatever has happened to the republl'
can party in the last eight years. It is
not yet forced to go for its policies to
Ocala or Omaha, or any other station
on the Bedlam Unlimited.

Never ! Freak.
the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Il Is strange that Bishop Doane, IN
his address before the graduating
class Of girls school. should fall into
the trespass Of describing the new
woman as a freak There should be
some penitential imposition In the ru.
brics Of the bishops church for one
who so far departs from the facts OF
history, the conclusions Of science, the
verdict Of society as to call a woman.
be she possessed of any term OF origi-
nal views, q freak. Woman is never
such. A choleric Latin poet spouted
something to the effect that woman is
ut all times variable, and this has been
the cheap verdict Of the unthinking ev-
er since. The grave biologist takes
the contrary ground and denotes the
female as the stable factor In the hui
man compound, the male being varia-
BILE. This. then, is the fundamental
decree Of nature.

The cardenino Amatel

No more of roses shall we sing;
No more of poisoning June;
The rains which skies so coldly fling
Inspire a different tune.
The flowers which with hopes so gay
Were planted far and wide
Are shipwrecked and borne far away
On early summers tide.
Hope springs eternal and you'll hear
The gardening amateur
Speak Of intentions for next year
hopeful connoisseur.
SAYS he, Though it may rain or freeze
My time 1 shall not lose:
I'll plant naught else than rubber trees
And just raise overshoes.'
