the Carpathians was hailed with rejoic-
ing in Berlin and Vienna, as indicating
that at last the Russian forward move
ment had spent itself. Almost imme-
diately comes word Of large advance
south of the Dniester, gravely threat
ening the right flank of the Austrian
forces defending Lemberg, while the
Russian advance from Brody along the
Lemberg railway continues without seri-
Gus interruption. A striking feature OF
all the operations on the eastern front
against the Austrian armies is the con-
tinued capture Of large numbers OF
prisoners. No report of aggregate cap
lures has lately been made, but Judging
from the latest statement of total tax
ings and detailed accounts of the vari-
GUS engagements. the Russians must
have in the present drive, which began
about two months ago. made more than
a quarter of a million of Austrians prls-
oners
The attacks on the German lines on
the western front continue with undi-
minished force, and territorial gains are
reported constantly. The great German
military organization is being steadily
pressed on all sides without remission
and with every evidence of determi-
nation to continue the squeezing process.

The Intangible Property Tax.

1t is beyond comprehension why the
Senate, after declaring in the most en-
phatic manner that the organic act is
Just and that the District is not under
taxed and that it should continue to
be supported on the half-and half basis,
added to the appropriation bill the tax
on intangible property. There is no oc-
casion for additional local tax revenues.
No emergency exists to call for extraor-
binary money-raising measures, as in
the case of the United States, which Is
now seeking ways and means of provld-
ing funds. Not even the liberal appro-
priations recommended by the Senate
committee, reduced by the Senate itself
later through the elimination of the
park purchase items, would have alb
sorbed all of the local revenues, on the
half and half basis.
The joint select committee, after an
exhaustive inquiry into the local condi-
tions, came to the conclusion. that the
District of Columbia is not under-taxed,
that the tax burden is as heavy as it
should be. Then why add to it! The
money is not needed, so long as the SEN
ate insists upon the retention of the
half and half measure. The imposition
of this tax will not Tighten the burden
of taxation upon realty. 1t will not
tend to equalize the tax levy in the
District. It will serve no useful pur-
pose. 1t will simply add to the local
tax revenues, to tempt further raids by
the District baiters, to cause them to
continue their attempts to mulct the
District in the entire burden of District
maintenance, or a large increase in the
proportion of municipal cost borne by
the local taxpayers.
The intangible property tax is con-
trary to the spirit in which the Senate
has heretofore treated the District. Had
it been adopted by the House, which is
given to strange and eccentric measures
of District legislation, it would possibly
have been regarded as in the line of
logic. But to come from the Senate,
with the major issue resting upon the
very question of suffieiency of local tax
alton, is, indeed, a surprise. Recession
by the Senate from its amendment would
be in the line of precedent and justice.

The Railroad Strike Menace.

The first stage of the railroad dead
lock has been reached, the railroads re-
fusing to grant the demands Of the en-
ployes' organizations and proposing to
submit them to federal mediation. The
brotherhood leaders have declined to
submit the case, preferring to deal di-
rectly with the railroads themselves, al
leging that in previous federal arbitra-
tions the employees have received less
than they believed to be their due. There
is no way to compel submission to ar
bitration The law is deficient in this
respect, and thus, unless the railroads
will open the way to direct negotia-
ton or the brotherhoods will consent to
federal mediation, strike is probable.
A railroad strike, affecting practically
every transportation line in the country,
would be a tremendous national disaster.
1t could not fail to cripple the indus
tries, and it would react with most seri-
Gus consequences upon the farmers-in
fact, upon every class of people. 1t
would entail losses mounting into hun
dreds of billions. Even if quickly
stopped through federal intervention to
compel the movement of trains as
public necessity it would be incalculably
disastrous.
The leaders of the brotherhoods are
fortified in their demands by the al
most unanimous vote in favor Of a strike
cast by the organization. The railroads,
on the other hand, frankly declare that
their financial situation is such as to
preclude grant of the demands as they
are now framed 1t is most unfortunate
if through experience at prior arbitra-
ton the confidence of the railroad op
eratives in the business Of federal
mediation board is weakened. Refusal
by them to submit the case to a govern
ment arbitration puts them in the po-
sition of inviting strike.

Infantile Paralysis Statistics.

Not only is there no diminution in
the outbreak of infantile paralysis in
Greater New York, but the death rate
is actually rising, while the number of
cases continues to grow by shocking ad-
vances. Yesterday 183 cases were re-
ported, with so deaths, as against 145
new cases and A deaths on Monday
Up to date 5,336 cases have been re-
corded, resulting in 1,194 deaths, or a
percentage of 22.3. Every known step
has been taken to lessen the prevalence
and the malevolence of the disease, but
without effect. Every borough of the
city has been cleaned as thoroughly as
possible, and New York is probably
more sanitary now than ever before
Still the mysterious influence spreads
An appeal has been made to those who
have recovered from the disease to give
samples of their blood for laboratory
Investigations in the hope Of the dis
eovery of cure, and many have re-
sponded to the call. Some hope is felt
that by this means serum may be pre-
pared which will at least permit the
treatment of developed cases, even if it
does not disclose the means of trans
mission, and thus provide preventive
remedy. New York's problem grows
acute as time advances and the date for
the reopening of the schools draws near.
Whether the schools can be opened
safely or not is a serious question. The
commissioner of health is holding the
matter in abeyance, hoping that by Sep
tember IL the disease will have abated.
Some interesting statistics have been
published. OF s4s persons who died of
this disease between January ! and Au-
gust l of this year--all but six within
the last two months-507 were males and
341 females. OF these 6S5 were under
five years Of age. 419 boys and 266 girls.

Squeezing the Teuton Armies.

Coordination of attack by the allies
against the Teutonie forces is more
strongly in evidence now than at any
time since the war began For some
time the Russian and Anglo-French
armies have been hitting simultaneously
east and west, and recently the Italians
have resumed the aggressive in the
Trentino and regained some of the
ground lost during the Austrian ad-
vance of the spring. But as evidence
that the Italians are designing to smash
with full power on the Austrian front
and thus complete the aggressive CO.
operation comes the report of the cap
ture Of commanding positions ON the
IsonzO. where on a thirty-mile front
the Italian forces moved eastward. tax
ing 1000 prisoners and great quantities
IF munitions and bringing them to the
gates Of Gorilla. The capture Of that
city is believed now to be within reach,
and if il should fall Austria's position
on the shorcs of the Adriatie becomes
extremely preearious. Gorizia has been
regarded as the key TO Trieste and
Fnrme. The Italian campaign in that
quarter has aimed chiefly at control of
tho Adriatic, just as the campaign in
the TrentiDo or Tyrol has been largely
defensive TO prevent Austrian aggres-
sion into the plains Of Venetia If Gori-
zia falls Italy will have at last scored
an important achievement
Meanwhile Russian successes continue

The Child Labor Bill.

On the final roll call twelve senator's
ten democrats and two republicans
voted against the child labor bill. They
would not accept the bill as eonstitu-
tional. But those votes did not measure
the full strength of that contention.
Other senators doubted the constitution
atty of the bill, but voted for it, some
10 please the President, and some to
throw the question into the courts, where
il seems reasonably certain to go. The
President himself is. not committed to
the constitutionality of the bill. Rather
the other way. But he wanted it, and
Will sign it, on the score of political ex
pediency. He needs the bill in his cam
paign.
Senator Overman, who opposed the
bill. thinks that if the courts sustain the
enactment the decision will mark the
end of state rights. As matter of
fact, did not state rights, in the JEFF
fcrsonian sense, disappear long agof
Time and again. as the controversy has
arisen. over this matter and that, CEN
tralization has won, and oftener than
otherwise with the aid of men calling
themselves Jeffersonian democrats. Were
he to revisit the glimpses of the moon
at present, the sage of Monticello would
not know the party conjuring with his
name. The party of his heart and hope
long since departed-is as dead as he.
Senator Cummins, who voted for the
bill, improved the opportunity to point
out the Presidents part in securing a
vote at this session. He reprobated the
exercise of the executive power in the
premises. and described it as bad sign
of the times
But that is not new sign applying
to these times. Twenty-three years ago
Mr. Cleveland exhibited the same spirit,
and secured like result. He put all
the pressure he possessed as President
behind his demand for repeal of the
purchasing clause of the so-called Sher-
man silver act, and won enough demo-
cratic support, particularly in the SEN
ate, to give him success.
There has been progress, however-if
progress is the word-in the manner of
procedure and the public view of it. Mr..
Cleveland operated a little under cover.
Senators did not relish the idea of re-
eeiving special instructions from the
White House respecting legislation; and
Senator Morgan covered them with con-
fusion by calling them "euckoos." Now,
however, visits from the Capitol to the
White House are. frequently and pub
licly made for such purposes, and Mr..
Wilson even goes to the Capitol-re-
turns the visits-when something very
important to him is in hand. There is
liver matter in Mr.. Cummins' observa-
tion than in Mr. Overman's; and we
shall hear more about it as the cam
paign progresses.
