ENGLISH TAXATION.

n ERHAPS in view of the radical legislation
II the red flag budget of the Hon. David
Ilovd-George Chancellor of the Exchequer-
which will probably be adopted in England
William Waldorf Astor and other Americans
who cxpatriated themselves may be thinking
OF returning to their native shores to escape tax
alton The radical budget imposing taxes
which will bear heavily on the rich, is likely TO
be accepted by the English House OF Lords'
They lack the nerve of the American defenders
of UNEQUAL privilege Had they few Aldrehes,
they would learn thing or two. The Lords
have been frightened by the mass meetings 81
citizens who favor the budget despite the TACT
that the taxes on liquor, tobacco and other
things have been greatly increased.
Compared with the very rich in England our
Harrnans and Morgans and Rockeiellers may
consider themselves fortunate! The Englsh

The strangest part Of it is that the Tory
newspapers are not making much of a night
against the measure. Rather are the represen-
tatives OF the class interests advising their read
ers TO submit. There is no great clamor that
the country will be ruined. constitutional
questions have little weight In America the
defenders of the same interests know better

an era Of heavy taxation, higher than ever be

In Alabama. there are $4,000 children Of
school age and of this number only I6I,o 900 white
and $1,000 colored children are in the schools
No wonder Alabama is discussing a compul-
sorry school law, but such movement will prob
ably meet with the same fate as awaited it in
the neighboring state of Georgia where pro-
posed compulsory education law has been de-
feated. The reason advanced was that educa-
ton of the negroes would lead to idleness-an
old time Southern theory. 1t is not likely that
settlers looking for new homes will be attracted
to states in which illiteracy seems to be praised
as virtue.

BILE Vanhorn is keeping a sharp lookout
for several negroes who are wanted by
the Maryland authorities on the charge
of selling whiskey at the negro camp
meetings now In progress along the
line OF the Queen Anne and Kent Rail

pursued by officers came into Della
ware and proceeded to Philadelphia by
way OF this place, and only recently
there have been several lively chases
between officers and the men chargd

Probably the students in America who are

fit men for the active professions Thirteen

Now it is the pickle eaters who have reason
for alarm Dr. Wiley, of the Agricultural De
partment, says that withered and half spoiled
cucumbers are rejuvenated by the use of a so
luton of alum, and alum is injurious TO the
human stomach. "Alum to the cucumber is,
saws the expert what benzoate of soda is to
the decaying tomato and borax to embalmed
beefw But there ought to be no shortage N
cucumbers Sussex county will be on hand
with a splendid supply of cucumbers which
should be sufficient to meet all needs. Perhaps
that mix-up of cucumber and cantaloupe seeds
may prove to be a blessing in disguise. But
why should preservatives be used in fruits and
vegetables when both are so plentiful and
cheap?

vehemence against the proposed increase of the
tariff. 1t was to protect civilization. Senator
DUPONT, according to the potato paper, when
he offered an amendment to the bill to increase
the duty 'strode into a potato patch and chal-
lenged civilization" Well, we had never
thought of the Senate as potato patch before,
but perhaps it is.
The cause for alarm, however is the fact that
an increase on the duty OF potatoes is chal-
lenge to civilization, and when civilization is
challenged, our contemporaries turns from de-
Tending corporations to defending civilization.
Civilization and potatoes shall not perish so long
a faithful guardian stands watch.
Had the potato duty been enacted, according
to the quxotc defender OF civilization there
would have been revolt in Delaware. The
people would have been called to and
reprsals would have followed Doubtless the
militia would have been called out to suppress
the revolt of mad potato eaters, who might have
raided the potato fields Fears that some of our
potato newspaper friends who have been agi-
tated by the matter would be shot in such de
porable event, probably caused Congress to
refuse to enact the dupont potato schedule.
Let us be thankful at any rate that civza-
ton has been saved, and that the aurels for saw
ing it belong to the newspaper which made
such heroic efforts to prevent the increase of
duty on potatoes and didn't know it had won
its battle until some time afterward.
