Those Insulted Diplomats.

Pity the trials of a republican form
of that has to deal with
the privileges of aristocratic importa-
tions. Such a hubbub as has arisen
in Washington among the titled ennis
saries of foreign governments could
not have occurred in the courts of Eu-
ropean capitals, where precedence of
rank is vigorously established by royal
decree of old. But If u social diplo-
mats have offended the marquis from
Spain and the ministers from other re-
gal ports, let us at least bear their
snobbishness with the fortitude en-
gendered of long experience in control
ling childish petulance from across the
water.
Uncle Sam, like many another frugal
householder, has never yet been
aroused by either walls or impudence
without demonstrating his ability to
administer the proper soothing syrup,
and we may trust him to attend to the
case of the marquis and his fellow
patents of nobility with eficaeious
doses of the old-fashioned remedy.
These unhappy diplomats are but act
ing like spoiled children ofRthe kinder
garten, and If they do not take kindly
to Uncle Sans treatment of the case
it will be in order for their wise home
governments to conduct them gently
but firmly to the solitude where they
can forget, If not forgive.

KNOCKS INCOME TAX.

New HOrk'S Governor Strikes at the
Amendment.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Governor Hughes special message recon-
mending that the legislature refuse to
ratffy the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, enabling the
federal government to tax incomes, con-
tains an approval of the income tax In
principle, but dlsapproves the plan under
which the president would levy the tax.
The governor believes that the federal
government should be invested with the
power Ito lay and collect an income tax
without apportionment among the states
according to population" But he points
out that the wording OF the amendment is
SO comprehensive that the government
would be enabled under II TO tax incomes
derived from state and municipal securities
and thus interfere with the r~evenue-rais-
ing powers Of the states themselves. This
affords him a sufficient reason for rec
o~mmending that the amendment be thrown
out. 1t is a reason that should have great
weight with a legislature which is not
suspected Of any strong preference for the
income tax even were it put in a less OBJ
j~ectionable form.

CENSUS TAKING IN SOUTH.
Employment of Negro Enumeration
in Negro Districts.

in Negro Districts.
New York Post.
The wise decision Of the new director of
the census, Mr.. q. Dana Durand, to en-
ploy negro enumerators to deal with the
negroes in the south will give the greatest
satisfaction to the colored people Of that
section. 1t is not merely that they wish
the offices as a means Of getting ahead,
but that they feel that there will be more
accurate reporting of their progress in the
work Is in the hands of their own people.
The coming census means much to them.
In the face of widespread criticism of their
usefulness as citizens and laborers, they
naturally wish all of their really phenom-
email advance as a race recorded in time
for the semi-centennial of emancipation,
when the whole country ought to stop for
a moment to take c~ognizance of their
progress. That Mr.. Durand's decision will
be popular in the south is not probable;
since he is, however, to employ white
enumerators for the whites, the edge will
be taken off of any open fault-finding
there may be.
