District Taxation. Numerous mis-statements concerning Dis- trict taxaticn made in the House yesterda7 were withdrawn or qualified, or contra- dicted during the debate, so that little of error remains vnan:wered. A few facts may, however, be now re-stated with ad- vantage, In support of the correction of these mis-statements Personal property is taxed under the law here as it is elsewhere. Everywhere this is a tax upon conscience rather than upon property; everywhere it is unequal, inequi- tale and unsatisfactory in its operations. The fact that personal property ts legally texed at the permarent residence of its ov rer, and not where it is actually located, coupled with the fact that so much of the personel property at the nation’s meeting pis the naticnal capital, is owned by ren who or claim to be residents of various 8, cuts down the District's showing in respect to this class of taxable prcperty. The verious disabilities imposed upon permanent residents of the District, including anchisement and exciusion from national employment under portionment-of-offices law, tend to reduce to a minimum the list of property owners claiming domicile in the District and sab- ject to personal taxation here; and in this Hist there Is the vsual percentage of tax- dcdgers, no more and probably no les: Int tion upon real (state the census statisties show that the Washingtonian’s tax burden is greater than that of the peo- ple of $09 out of the 1,083 American cities which in 1890 2sceeded 4,000 in population. Washington's per capita tax ievy is fully up to the average exaction from the resi- ents of cities approximating it in size. For Instance, its levy is greater than that of Omaha, Indianapolis and Allegheny City, and a trifle less than that of Cleveland, Newark and Milwaukee. Washington has a comparatively low tax rate and an excessively high assessment, and the combination of the two factors pro- duces the per capita tax levy results abov> note The assessed and taxed fraction of Wash- ington is less than one-half of the entire area, the government owning the ex- empted remainder. Extra census bulletin No. 6} shows that this half of the capital d at mere than seven times the of all Omaha, more than three times the value of ail Indianapolis, 7 per cent more than the value of all the great city of Cleveland, and ten millions more than >-thirds of the assessment of Chica area—more than a million in- s-and its numerous and costly buildings and fine residences. ed half of Washington (3123, » in 1890) was assessed at nearly a ion more than the combined ass ments of Cleveland, Ohio ($72,734,540) and the owing largest cities of their r: tive states threwn in for gocd measure Portland >); Des Moines, Jowa Sioux Falls, S.

The New York World, which has made f notorious by its fakes, and its thefts, nant copperhead attacks upon t and hi prints ng job-type displa: “inter- war policy, view” with ‘on, in which the Maryland senator tells the World cor- Tespondent that our government has lied about the causes and objects of the war; that we are likely to be involved in a war with land, Germany, France and Rus- “foolhardy” course, and says in ooking conditions squarely in the face, we have entered into a war of conquest. To me this is as plain as the sunlight. The government of the United States has broken away from the traditions of the fathers, and a policy of imperialism has begun. Where this will lead us to no mor- tal can tell. 1 would secall our army from Cuba. I would straightway direct Dewey to capitulate. We had nothing to go to war for; we have less excuse for eontinu- ing it. This sounds amazingly like the pro- Spanish utterances of Senator Wellington, heretofore, but it will be seen by a Balti- more dispatch in another column that he repudiates the interview and declares it to be a fabrication. Who then shall we believe—the World With its tainted record fer truthfulness, or Senator Wellington, where the internal nce seems to show that he was accu- rately quoted? It is a puzz question, but anyhow it must be a sad spectacle for Senators White and Pettigrew and Have- meyer to see their fellow friends of Spain, Mr. Wellington and Mr. Pulitzer, calling each other lars in this vindictive way? ——_++-- Spanish governor who offered a re- “0 for Aguinaldo dead or alive would be somewhat embarrassed if the Philippine leader should personally insist on the payment of the cdaim. ——__~e-___ Admiral Camara evidently believes that the only reliable way to keep from being bottled by the American fleet is to avoid getting into the same ocean with it. — 2 = In the present crush of fame there will in a very few years be people who have difficulty in remembering who Joe Leiter was. Sagasta can stand defeat; but he has the true Spanish horror of being a politi- cian out of a job. ———~++-___ Everything in Order. uld it not be better to settle important of state in their proper order? If tar asks these questions because of sition manifesied by certain news- nd politicians to take matters up This talk about erialism all grows out of anticipating estions, The question of the hour is not - final disposition of the Philippine Isi- é that reiating to Porto Rico, nor yet cur duty toward Cuba when the island shall have been freed from Spanish dom- fraticn. The question of the hour is the War with Spair—how that may ke con- ducted the most successfully and expedi- Gcusly. The administration is bending all of its energies in that direction, and is en- titied to and should receive the unqualified ard ungrudging suppcrt of every citizen of the country. The man who at this time for ambitious or any other ends seeks to inter- tere with this pregram Is a public enemy, We are at war with Spain. We must strike her as hard as possible and wher- ever it may te feasible. We must strip her of everything within our reach while the war lasts. Then, when the war is over, we will decide what shall be done with the spoil. That will be time enough to take the matter up. It will not of course be de- @ided by presidential edict. This is a pop- War government even after eight years of Papers out of their proper order. irs | b= hauled down from any staff where it may be floating except by order of the American people. This intense solicitude on the part of Mr. Cleveland and his satellites for the coun- try but thinly disguises their real feelings. They cannot believe the country safe ex- cept in Mr. Cleveland's bands. He is reach- ing out for tre helm again, and his cronies are anxious to see him seize it. Hence the fear expressed that we are drifting rapidly teward the rocks, and that solemn warning in Buffalonian Johnserese about the terrti- ble temptations which now beset the United States. The American people are abie to wisely settle all questions presented to them. They have in their time settled some pretty difficult ones. They do not as yet require a gvardian. What they now demand fs loy- alty te the flag and to the constituted au- therities. Tre sneak talking peace and the sensationalist prating about imperialism are so much tke friends of Spain that they ought to send bills to Carranza and Du Bosc 1a Canada for services rendered. ——_ +2 ____ Mr. Bailey’s Fourth Defeat. The democrats of the House are wiser than their leader. The caucus last night failed for want of a quorum. A large num- ber of the brethren purposely remained away, and the question at issue had to be postponed until next winter. This was by far the best way out. The call for a caucus was a mistake. There is no business of importance before the House. The democratic party in that body is not confronted with the necessity of tak- ing united action on any measure at this time. The real object was indirectly to censure those members who had recorded themselves against Mr. Batley on the bill allowing soldiers in the field the right to vote, and on the Newlands resolution. The scheme failed, as it ought to have failed. Those votes had been recorded in a spirit of patriotism and. courage. They deserve praise rather than implied censure. They alone save the democracy of the House from reprobation at this critical time in the country’s affairs. It cannot be siated too often or with too much emphasis that the playing of politics at this time with r is a very grave m In confronting Spain there is room but for one party—the American party. The President is the leader, and everybody should fall in behind him. To cross him with personal or petty schemes; to rail at him on purely imagin- ary grounds; to block the way with cavil and tedious academic mouthings—to do any of these things is to sow discord where only unity should exist and play into the hands of Spain. He who is not for the President is not for the country, and he who is not for the country is against it. Mr. Bailey is a man of ability and prom- ise. His hold on his home people is said to be strong, and that insures him continued opportunity to figure in national affairs. But he is most decidedly on the wrong tack now. There is no thoroughfare for him or any other man in the direction he is at present traveling. If he is to be a leader of any consequence he must set his face toward an entirely different quarter. ————<- ++ ____ The Improved Street-Extension Law. The repeal of the provisions of the high- way act which forbid the United States to participate in the expense of condemna- tions and improvements for suburban Streets effects a complete reversal of the conditions und2r which such appropriations #re hereafter to be approached. While that law existed these improve- ments were specifically excepted from th> operation of the organic act of 18 No ppropriations committee could without violating the law or temporarily suspending it propose to appropriate for these purposes except at the sole expense of the District. All such appropriations as have actually been made during the existence of the high- way act and all pending measures to carry ions necessarily look y to the local rev2nues. But all that is now changed. The or- Sanic act of 1878 applies to all municipal expenditures for which estimates are sub- mitted by the Commissioners, the ex-:ep- tien created by the highway act being now abolished. Whereas a week ago the general direc- tion of the law (1803) was that these sub- urban expenditures must be made exclu- sively from the local revenues, the sta‘u- tery rule (1878) now commands that these and all municipal appropriations be pro- vided en the half and half basis, and any and every exception actually made by Congress in appropriating for these pur- poses exclusively from the District reve- nues will be a fresh violation of the or- ganic act of 1S78. The people of the capital will recognize the resulting improvement of their position in the campaign for justice to the District through faithful fulfilment of the letter and spirit of the organic act, and will not lightly cast aside this advantage by ac- cepting without a struggle the assumption that the old principle of suburban appro- priation, now r ted and stricken from the law, is nevertheless to continue to pre- vail. --— ¢ = —___ There is no lack of patriotism implied in the w that the large amount of territory covered by future Fourth of July celebra- tons will cause the noise to be less con- centrated in any one lo The troubles of monarchs in oth2r parts of Eurupe are so absorbing that the report of an attempt to assassinate the ezar at- tracts even less attenticn than usual. — tee Senator Roach’s objection to territo-y of volcanic origin would depopulate a large amount of valuable land, if it were gen- erally shared. Germany takes a great Interest not only in this country’s fruits, but in the ground where it proposes to raise more of them. of a fleet bound for Cadiz will have a tendency to discourage rumors of a contemplated bombardment of Boston. ———. + + = ____ Admiral Cervera is now one of the most exclusive and unapproachable aristocrats that Spain has produced. —____ + +e —___ Spain's Whine at the Powers. Madrid is complaining now of the failure of the “powers” to intervene to stop the war. These outbursts do not enhance the Gignity of Spain's position in this cam- paign. They reveal the low plane of her zniire policy. She had committed a grave crime against ctvilization. Her - colonies had been bled and starved and butchered and trampled upon. They had risen in re- volt against her tyranny. The United States intervened to put an 2nd to this spectacle which was becoming a scandal in the eyes of progressive people and seriously affecting the welfare of this nation. But Spain had opportunity to eseap2 war through honorable concessions. The path to peace was lined, to be sure, with sucri- fices, but they were entirely compatible with the honor of an upright people. The chane2 was rejected. All through the im- mediate preliminaries leading to the war Spain while defying the United States con- tinued to appeal to the “powers.” After war was declared she kept up her intima- tions that Europe would soon come for- ward with measures to coerce the United States into a cessation of hostilities in re- sponse to her petitions, but nothing in this direction has b2en or will be attempted. Yesterday in the Spanish senate Senor Navarro Rodrigo recognizing this fact de- clared that Europe and the whole world are committing “the greatest and most hor- rible crime of les> humanity in allowing Spain to be crushed by brutal weight of numbers.” This maundering passes in Spain for eloquence and wisdom. “ese humanity is a crime at which Spain ts ex- pert. This war grows out of one of the most flagrant deads of outrage upon hu- manity that history records. —__- + «= ——___. SHOOTING STARS. Appalling. “Don’t you know,” said the politician, “that some of those islands in the Pacific ocean are the work of coral insects?” “What has that to do with our taking Possession of them?” “My friend, you are wholly deficient in the foresight that makes a statesman. Supposing some ships with a cargo of in- sect powder was to founder in the neigh- borhood?” An Inexeusable Response. Mr. Meekton thceught he would dispel hts wife’s cold and haughty demeanor by an effort to be facetious. - “Well,” he said, “did you see any mer- maids while you were at the seashore?” “No,” she answered, in her habitual tore of superiority, “but I saw a number of mere men.” A Summer Reflection. The center of this earth ts hot. Our comfort would be greater If nature changed her plan and got A big refrigerator. A Theory. “Mike,” said Plodding Pete, “how is it dat some o’ dese people kin work day after day an’ n&ver seem to feel it?” “Well,” replied Meandering Mike, reflec- tively, “I s'pose dey is started in young an’ gets to be immune: Dangerous Ground. “That man was very indignant when he heard it asserted that he was bound hand and foot to the sugar trust.” “I don't blame him,” answered Senator Sorghum. “There ought to be some re- dress for him. Anything that tends to in- jure a man’s business is likely to come under the head of libel. And such a re- mark about our friend might easily scare off other customers. A Statesman’s Apprehension. “There ain’t no vse o° talkin’,” said an or- ator one day, “Bout the richness of our conquests. We don’t want em any way. Your scientists kin figger all they choose, to show us how Them craters knocked off long ago and ain't a-workin’ now. They waste their time remindin’ us how peaceable tl ey’ye been; It's my opinioa habits will ke2p croppin’ cut ag’in. ‘They'd make me jest as nervous as a tin- can-haunted pup. ‘Them islands is yoleanic and they might blow up! “It ain’t good bus’ness fur this land to do things which might keep Their learned legislators from a-gittin’ r2g- ‘lar sleep; An’ every time a door was slammed I'd jump with fright an’ say, ‘There goes ol’ Honolulu—or perhaps it’s Cavitay.” A man that does the thinkin’ fur this coun- try mustn't be All tore up In his intell2ck with shocks oc- currin’ free. So put ambition’s goblet by an’ don’t you take a sup; Them islands is volcanic and they might blow up! ——_+ ++ —____ Filibustering im the Senate. From the Brooklyn Eagle (Ind. Dem.). The filibusters in the Senate have ex- pesed their hands. They no longer mak the slightest pretens» to discussion of Ha- walian anne dently for th r a u at grew d2mocrats will not displace the Jef- ferson and Jackson democrats. It was Jef- |. uisiana it the ation or its merits, but impu- ice that they prop: to talk of delay, hoping in that man- secure the defeat of the project. Se @ southern opponents of the move- are concerned th represent some- which was supposed to have vir- disappeared from the arena of politics. They have been fond of talking about a united country and telling hew completely the sectional spirit has beer eliminated, and yet nothing but the rankest -ctionalism is discernible in the course they are pursving. American senti- ment in favor of annexation is aimost vnanimous, and It is questionable whether half a dozen states would go to the record ainst It in case It were submitted to pop- vote. It is certain that all of the east, rearly all of the west and by far the greater part of the scuth would vote for it, which means that many of the senators in the ranks of the opposition are misrepre- senting their constituencies. The leader cf the fiiibusters is Mr. Jones, and he is well qtalified for the task. He it was who, as chairman of the national democratic com- mittee, led his party to defeat in the pres- idential election on a platform of repudia- tien, and his subsequent course has been sich to indicete that he relished the ex- perience and is anxious to repeat it. He baldly announces that he is willing that a vote on annexation be taken at the next session of Cong-ess, but not at this, which is equivalent to ignoring the fact that tne country has a var en its hands and that strategical s considerations dictate acquisi- soon as possible. The senator may think that the interests or supposed interests of the party which he placed on the wrong track are superior to those of the country, and if so he is simply afford- ing additional illustration of his remark- atle feculty for blundering. The dilatory tactics of the anti-annexationists may tem- pcrarlly succeed, but the ultimate acquist- tion of Hawaii is as certain as is the ful- fillment of our purposes as the outcome of the war. —_—_-+¢ = —___ Renominating Congressmen. From the New York Sun. ‘Tne most remarkable feature of the nom- inations already made this year is the very large number of renominations, usually by acclamation and without the formality of a ballot. This is more particularly notice- able in the republican districts. Such was the case during the civil war and immediately thereafter. Those repre- sentatives who had by their votes and their influence in Congress upheld the cause of the government, whether they were re- publicans or democrats, were almost as a matter of course renominated. Those who had striven to represent the opponents and critics of the government's policies were likely to be kept at home. All over the United States at present, wherever Congress conventions are being held, republican Congressmen are being renominated, and in @ majority of cases re- nominated unanimously. Stalwart demo- crats who have put patriotism above party are similarly honored. ———_+ «= —____ Senator Platt Dodging. From the New York Mall and Express (Rep.). There were eight roll calis in the Senate on Saturday, necessitated by the filibuster- ing tactics of the opponents of the annexa- tion of Hawali. Two of them disclosed the absence of a quorum, with consequent con- fusion and delay. On every roll call Sena- tor Platt (of New York) was “absent or not voting.” The republicans of New York do not expect Senator Platt to contribute anything to the debate, but they do ex- pect him to be in his seat and say “aye” when his name is called on questions con- nected with so important a tenet of repub- lican policy as the annexation of Hawali.
