HOW TO CURE 1T. KILL 1T.

The Springfield Republican is in
favor of taking the tariff out of poll
tics. The best way to take it out is 10
take it out; do away with it, abolish
it. Our Yankee friend thinks that the
best way is ITO scale it down toward
a revenue basis and supplement it as
a source of revenue with an income tax
which can be moved UP and down as
the needs OF the Government require
without disturbing the customs rates
and so disturbing The calculations up
on which business is being done" we
agree with so much of this proposition
| but we dissent from the movable In
come tax as in no sense justified by the
needs Of the Government or by fair
treatment OF the persons upon whom
the tax would be laid.
Probably change in the method Of
doing business might help some in the
adjustment of the question; perchance.
the organization of a tariff commission
without regard to the relations Of its
members TO any particular part Of the
country or any of the so-called "spe-
cial interests would assist in clarity
ing the situation somewhat; but the
best of all the remedies that could be
applied would be the adoption of a
tariff for revenue only, or. better
stin. a method of direct taxation which
would make the people take notice Of
the fearful and increasing extrava-
gances of the Government at Washing
ton. In the latter event, there would
certainly be change in the "calcula5-

TWO MORE STARS AMONG THE

the Senate yesterday. all the senators
voting for it. 1t ought to have been
passed long ago: but the fear thas
both states would add to the strength
OF the Democratic party in Congress-
and in the Electoral College doubtless
Influenced the dominant party against
such recognition of the people OF these
two Territories. This, at least, IS a
reasonable conclusion as to arizona
however doubtful it may be as to New
Mexico. Since 1890 the Republicans
have won only one election in Arizona,
while since 1892 the Democrats have
prevailed only once in New Mexico.
In 1900 the population of Arizona
was 122,e31 and the population OF New
Mexico was 1o5,31o. Each of the Ter
rttories had one Delegate in the
House at Washington. Arizona will be
entitled to one Representative at
as a State and New Mex
leo Will have two. Each will have,
however two United States Senator'S,
and If the four Senator'S should all be
Democrats, it is clear that both Ter
should be admitted to state
hood: at least, we could very we'll de-
fend their admission on this ground.
When new States are made. We
should say, as general proposition
that they should. have enough popula-
ton to make it comparatively easy 10
find enough men TO hold the Offices
There is Nevada. for example. with a
population of 1885. 1t has one Rep
resentative at Washington and two
United States Senator'S. That does not
look exactly fair to the rest of the
country. Nevada was admitted to the
Union as a state in 1864 for political
and has always been unworthy
of statehood. We look for better
things from Arizona and New Mexico;
but,the admission of new States sim
ply because there are fortunes to be
made by forehanded persons and offices
to be filled by adventurers is a bad
policy.

CANNOT DRAW TIE LINE.

Fashionable East Orange is in
ferment and its matrons and maids are
more disturbed than they were on the
eve OF the most exciting German last

but the high school dance, which Is
to be held at the Woman's Club a week

that Irene Vanderdall and her sister

STAND PAT, GOVERNOR G1nnnrr.


The whole country was surprised at
ney-General, not because the Governs
ors action was anything but right,
but because no one had expected he
would have the courage to do the
right. Heretofore the Governor has
shown himself SO yielding and so Lack
ing in any inclination to forbid this
brutalizing sport in California that his
sudden changing was a shock to even
his enemies. When the agitation
against the fight was first begun the
Governor let It be understood that
he would not Interfere, and, If we re-
call correctly, he was anything but
courteous in his treatment OF good
people who came to enter their pro-
tests against the fight He told them,
in effect at least that he was Cow
ernor of California, and that he would
not allow them to dictate to him what
he should do and what he should not
the fight and rebuffed every effort to
prevent 1t. If Governor Gillett be sim
cere In his order to his Attorney
General, and If there be no political
considerations involved. the whole
country will approve his action, and
will sustain him in his every effort to
keep Jeffries land Johnson apart July
4th
OF course. this fight is not different
in the main from the hundreds OF other
fights which have been held in Califor-
MIA without general protest from the
country. The men are no worse or no
better than the other bruisers who
have been allowed to beat one another
into insensibility since the old days OF
the forty-niners. Yet, there is one
great difference between the pres
ent fight and all that have gone be.
fore The Jetries-Johnson bout marks
an epoch in prize fighting. 1t is for
the biggest stake that was ever OF
fercd in the ring, ard it has been SO
assiduously advertised that the atten-
| tion of the whole world has Been di.
| rected TO it. This in itself would
/ hardly be desirable. since prize fight
ing is brutal and debasing; but the
situation is made still worse by the
fact that millions Of dollars have been
wagered on the fight all over the
world. The approval given the fight
by the authorities of California has
put a premium on gambling, and has
excited the so-called sports every
where to wager on the comparative
staying power of two physical giants
The gambling connected with it is
sufficient to condemn this fight, and to
put a ban on all similar encounters
for the future. II men make or lose
thousands on the Jenrles-Johnson
fight, they will wager thousands OF
dollars more on some other night This
bout will merely inspire other prize
fighters, and the result will he more
gambling, greater losses and a general
moral decline in the sporting spirit
of the people
We hope Governor Gillett viii stand
pat and that the good people of Call
fornia Will approve him and support
him to the fullest If the prize fight
ers attempt to meet in Nevada or titan,
we hope that the sentiment of the
people will be strong enough to pre-
vent there what Governor Ginett pro-
poses to prevent in his State 1t is
high time to call halt on prize fight
ing. and this is fine opportunity of
showing these bruisers that they can
not ride rough-shod over the moral
sense or the country.
