Bkkad

viots in Spain on the eve of a

threatened war are an ominous sign. No nation on earth needs a closer study of the arte of peace at this time than that which is angrily nursing a false sense of honor.

PRESIDENT DOLE of Hawaii haB sailed for home from San Francisco, leaving behind him an agreeable recollection of his dignified and tactful conduct under conditions which would have betrayed a foolish man.

THE friends of the Monetary Commission's currency reform bill have hopes that it it will be favorably reported and passed by the House. When it comes to the debate and the vote you will find Congressman Landis on the right side.

AUSTKALIAX DEMOCRACY. The only Democrcy in the world which can be compared with our own is that of the Australian colonies, and the comparison as drawn by E. L. Godkin in the March Atlantic is both interesting and instructive. The main difference in method is that the American system is what he calls the Presidential, in which candidates are elected under a written constitution for fixed terms of office, before the expiration of which no changes can be made while the Australian is the cabinet system, with no fixed constitution, and under it legislative majorities and executive officers may be changed at any time. The cabinet system has the advantage of making all government officers more directly responsible to the people, who can call them to account 6harply and promptly, if dissatisfied with their policy, and replace them by others who will execute the public will. It is not so well fitted to maintain a fixed policy for the officials are all at*the mercy of any sudden craze or wave of popular feeling, however ill-judgdd, which under our methods would ebb or expend itself before the next prescribed election.

The consequence is, that while in the United States changes of policy come very 6lowly, the history of Australian democracy is a long record of successive changes and experiments in every possible subject of legislation in suffrage, in laud and building schemes, in public works, in finance, but especially in laws for the protection of labor, which have been extended to the most extreme and minute paternal supervision Mr. Ciodkin details at length the nature of these experiments, which so far seem to have been success'ul, and he looks for still further interesting and valuable developments, fostered by the general prosperity of the community and the wonderful resources of the country.

1IAKKISON AND l'lNCJ KJJH ON TAXATION. Ex President Harrison and Governor Pinyree of Michigan both made addresses on Washington's birthday, the former before the Union League of Chicago, and the latter before tne Michigan Club at Detroit. Both are Republicans but while there is no doubt as to the orthodoxy of lien Har ribou's faith, yet there is a largo element of the Republican party both in and out of Michigan who would glady see Mr. Pingree's influence wane. He «s not exactly in line with his party on the gold standard and the tariff, but his honesty and courage are never impugned and on one very important subject he and lien. Harrison are in accord. The central idea of both their recent speeches was the growing danger of inequality of taxation. Gen. Harrison said: "Taxes are a debt of the highest obligation, and no casuist can draw a Bound moral distinction between the man who hides his property or makes a false return in order to escape the payment of his debt to the State and the man who conceals his property from his private creditors. When to this enormous and crying evil is added the corruption which it is alleged characterizes the appraisement of real estate in some of our great cities we have a condition of things with which we dare not falter. We must inaugur­

ate, and at once, a system that shall equalize tax burdens. The men of wealth in our great communities should lead the movement. "Mr. Lincoln's startling declaration that this country could not continue to exist half slave and half free may be paraphrased to day by saying that this country cannot continue to exist half taxed and half free. This intquality broods a tierce and unreasoning anger, creates classes, intensities social conditions and tends to make men willing to pay their debts in 50 cent dollars. "if there is not enough public virtue left in our communities to make tax frauds discreditable if there is not virility enough left in our laws and in the administration of justice in our courts to bring to punishment those who defraud the State and their neigh bors, is there not danger that crimes of violence will make insecure the fortunes that have refused to contribute ratably to the cost of maintaining social order? If we are to admit that the obligations of public duty and of personal veracity and integrity are so little felt by our people, and that our administrative &uu judicial processes art so inadequate that tax frauds cannot be measurably restrained, hope for the country is eclipsed."

And Governor Pingree said: "Let it be known that in Michigan the Republican party stands for equal and just distribution of taxes upon values a determined opposition to all forms of capital antagonistic to the welfare of the people that in legisla tion we will keep before us the words of our great leader that 'Labor is the superior of capital and deserveB much higher consideration' he who said that 'No men are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty none less inclined to touch or take aught which they have not honestly earned.' Surely if in our policy as a party we follow the teachings of Mr. Lincoln we cannnot be much out of the way. "Of late years there has been a tendency to permit the wealthy to escape their share of taxation. They are gradually pressing the entire burden upon those least able to bear it. Excessive taxation upon the masses brings in its train poverty and ignorance and destruction of our institutions. There can be no abiding prosperity in a nation unless the power of indirect taxation now farmed out to trusts and monopolies is taken from them. The people will not bo contented until those who can best afford it pay their full share and thereby adjust more equally the burden. The encroachment of wealth and power upon the rights and liberties of the masses is constant. Will this club, will the prominent gentlemen here present, assist the people in their efforts to keep what is theirs or will they not? The Republican party in Michigan, and for that matter nationally, muBt be the party of the people or go under. It must stand for the time honored principles of right, justice and humanity."

The next day Pingree was interviewed on Harrison's speech and made the following comment: 'Those ReDublicans who have been kicking me for the last few years will have to add another 'anarchist' and

Populist' to their list now. I am not the only one there are many more. Here is Harrison advocating in a most vigorous manner the very same doctrines of equal taxation that has brought me so much abuse from members of my own party. Harrison, I see, advises the capitalists and corporations to turn in and do what is just before the people rise in their wrath and do them an injustice. You want to look out, Campbell, or you and the rest of the small taxpayers will be caught in the crush when the corporations begin to rush in and demand that, they be permitted to pay their just share of the taxes. I think I see them doing it. But that speech is a good one for the peoplp to read. I am going to write the ex-President ripht away and aRk permission to have 20,000 copies of it printed for distribution in Michitran. I want the people of this State to know that I am nnt the only anarchist in the Republican party."

MR. LONG'S OPINION

Spain Did Not Participate In the

Maine Disaster.

MAINT0N0MAH AND KATAHDIN.

Two Ironclads Ordered Into Commission*

Why tho Maine Was Tied to a Bouy.

Court of Inquiry Mill Close

Mouthed McK.inley*s Close

Friend Talks of War.

Washington, Mnrcli C.—The main interest in connection with the Maine inquiry yesterday centered in a statement by Secretary Long following the cabinet meeting, that in his personal opinion any oflleial participation by the Spanish government in the blowing up of the Maine was now practically eliminated from the situation. This statement was not of a formal or official character, ajid was made, by Mr. Long as he walked away from the white house. As usual the various cabinet officers were hesieged with inquiries as to the questions before the cabinet meeting and in response to these importunities the secretary rather casually summed up the situation in a few words, stating t-liat moscof the time had been given to the outrages on colored postmasters in the south. Naturally the Cuban situation had been gone over, he said, but there were no actual developments, and he felt that public excitement over the subject had materially abated. Then he added the statement, in the same passing way, that any pat ti cipation by the Spanish government in the blowing up of the Maine was praeti jallv eliminated in his judgment.

Onlereil Into Commission. Orders went out from tho navy department late yesterday afternoon to put the ironclads Miantonomah and Katahdin into commission on tho 10th inst. They are now at the Leaguo Island navyyard, where they have been laid up for a year or two past. It is said at tho department that the purpose of putting them in commission is to make berths for the survivors of the Maine, now at Key West waiting on the court of inquiry which, without doubt, will have finished with them by the 10th inst. The Miantonemah is a formidable double-tnrreted monitor, carrying four 10-inch guns. She is of :,9!)0 tons displacement and steams 10WC knots per hour. In addition to her main battery she carries a good secondary battery of rapid-fire guns and her turrets are clad with. 11 'J inch armor.

Her commander has not yet been definitely settled, but tho remainder of her officers will be as follows: Lieutenant Commander Wilson, executive officer Lieutenant Underwood, navierator Lieutenants Hogg and Gill and Ensign Coleman, watch officers Past Assistant Surgeon Weaver, Chief Engineer Parks.

The Katahdin, otherwise known as the Ammeu ram. is a freak in naval architecture and, although opinions are divided as to her qualities, there is little doubt that her presence in any harbor would make an enemy anxious. She lies mostly under water, with a turtleback of steel varying in thickness from

HAM KATAHDIN.

2}o to 0 inches, and the theory of her designer—Admiral Ammeu—was that this arinorplate could not be struck directly by a shot from another vessel, and that any such shot would be harmlessly deflected by the sloping steel deck. In action the Conning tower and smokestack are about all of the ship that would present a mark. The former is made of steel 18 inches thick. The Katahdin is a ram pure and simple, having in the way of weapons of offence nothing except her sharp steel beak and a lew small rapidfire guns to keep off boarders or torpedoboats.

Why the Maine Was Tied to Buoy.

It was juit learned at the navy department why the Maine was tied to a bouv in Havana harbor instead of anchoring, a fact that has been the base for some of the theories as to tho cause of the disaster. It is stated that not. only is a mau-ol'-war at a buoy in a much better place lor quick service, than when anchored, but it appears that if a ship casts her anchor in Havana harbor, so foul and polluted with yellow fever and oilier disease germs is the mud that adheres to it when it is hoisted, that, the ship must go into quarantine upon her return to any Florida pert.

Tne following telegram was received from Captain Sigsbee, now at Havana: "Bache has left for Tortugas with all the wouuded men—five in number—as follows: Mattison, Cabill, Allen, Webber and Mack. All able to walk except Mattison, whose jaw was broken. Lache takes one unrecognized body. Will probably take four wouuded men from Tortugas to Key West. Bache will report to the flagship Thursday before entering Key West. Cannot tell when more bodies may be expected at Kev West, but Bache should promptly return."

l'illint Navy Department Orders. New Haven, March 2.—Thomas G. Bennett, president of the Winchester Repeating Anns company, denies the truth of a published report that his company luid suspended tho manufacture of sporting guns order to fill a government order. Mr. Bendett said: "It is true wo are running over time in some |departments and we are filling heavy 'department orders, but these orders were received prior to the sinking of the

Maino."

Wants Damages For an Iusnlt. Columbus, Ind., March 2.—Bertha Hartley has tiled su* in tho circuit court for $5,000 damages against Albert Davis. The plaintiff alleges that in August, 181)15, slie-was riding in a farmwagon with him, near Azalia, when he insulted her, causing her to jump from the wagon. By the leap from the wagon she alleges wie received permanent injuries.

Woman Burned to si Crisp.

Shelburn, Ind., March 2.—Mrs. Harvey Mullin, while alnne with the children, fell asleep before tho fireplace. When awakened her clothes were in flames. She started across the road to one of her neighbors, but before assistance could be rendered her clothing was almost entirely consumed by the flames. She was burned to a crisp, dying in a few hours.

Pottery IMaiit. Burned.

Brazil, Ind., March 2.—The Brazil Pottery and Clay Manufacturing company's plant lias been totally destroyed by tire. Loss, about £5,000 insurance, §2,000. The origin of the lire is unknown. The plant had just been completed, and it had booked orders lor nearly ijOO.OOO flowerpots.

Trainj»led and Burned.

Ligonier, Ind., March 2. —While the members of Company L, I. N. Cr., were drilling in this city, they saw a Spanish flag. Immediately it was trampled on and burned. The men of the company are anxious for war, and Captain Green is in readiness to respond.
