SEPT. 16,. 1901. i\<;i:i:o7 COWAIiI)iCJE. .The truest sign of the popular indigna tion in the present grave crisis is found In the small measure of toleration which is extended to those who since the as sault on him have spoken unkindly of the late president. That Cleveland ed itor would not have received much more than his deserts had he been severely handled by the mob against which he was protected by the police. No man of good taste or human feel ing could have continued to assail any political enemy, however vile, after such a sad vsitation had befallen him as that which befell the late president. Indeed, no one not a monster of cruelty at heart and thoroughly divested of all patriotic instinct could have spOken un kindly of the chief officer of this nation as he lay stricken to death. We doubt whether, for instance, the public, in its future estimates of Sena tor Wellington's private or public worth, will ever divest itself of the dislike and contempt which found such free expres sion around that gentleman, as the re sult of his recent indecent reference to Mr. McKinley. The popular heart is a large one. The popular sympathies are often too easily excited; _but, as in the case of a man of ordinarily strong human attachments, the great public when greatly outraged in its sensibilities is greatly aroused. 7 The old Roman maxim which enjoins that we shall say nothing but good of the | dead finds a very natural extension among ! a people as truly genuine in ' their in- '■ stincts as the Americans. The man who is deeply stricken is, to the average Amer ican, as the man dead, so far as un kindness of word or deed is concerned. And When the president of the United States lay struggling against the advance of disease the man so insensate as to assail him presented himself to the Amer- j , • A - - ■ I ican popular imagination as a fiend deserving immediate destruction. We can all fittingly enough deprecate the disposition toward mob law. But it is mere false sentiment to inveigh against it in a case of this kind. With the ruler of a great free people lying prostrate in his death struggles virtually in sight of the entire nation it would be more than hu man that any American could be expected to silently endure his subjection to in sult or contumely while in the pangs of death. It is altogether right that such feeling Ehould prevail. It is the very breath of patriotism. No American can love his country, no matter what his party politi cal attachments may be, who will not re cent as a personal outrage anything which tends even indirectly to palliate the cow ardly and foolish crime which removed from earth one of the best men that ever breathed. As long as men take such an occur rence personally to heart it may be safe ly assumed that the heroism of the race Is still there, latent and inactive in times of peace but ready to flame up in the stress of national emergency. More than that, It shows that the individual concepts of manliness and courage are preserved, when the coward voice raised to malign the dead or the suffering, finds Itself checked amid universal execration. • MORTGAGE TAXAIION. We are surprised to see in the Dispatch an editorial opposing the theory of mort gage taxation. We are surprised, be cause we have been wont to find in the - editorial columns of the Dispatch not only literary excellence _ut a broad and liberal treatment of economic questions. The article at bar (apologies to the court), on mortgage taxation bears evi dence of a very narrow and hazy view of a broad subject.- We agree with the Dispatch t_at doube taxation of realty works injustice—that statement is axiomatic. But we can not agree with the wholly unwarranted as sumption that taxation of mortgages ne cessitates double taxation. Neither' do we believe with our contemporary, that the present demand for the taxation of mortgages is due to a deep-seated preju - dice against the money lender., What sort of a law the tax commis sion will recommend to the legislature we have not the honor of knowing. ,That some law ought to be enacted for the taxation of mortgages as well as all other property w e hardly think any dis interested person will deny. Assuming then, that something ought to be done, it becomes simply a question of how is it to be done. . To assess mortgages as personalty and levy any. tax howsoever small, would be mani festly unfair, and to a degree impracti cal. -Because if they are to be taxed at all they should be taxed.where the es tate which they represent is situated. Going to the base of the theory of taxation, it seems almost needle to say that all taxation is for purposes of gov ernment. 7 For protection of life, liberty, and property the individuals of the community agree to pay each his share; this is at least the theory. 7 Ordinarily the heavy burden falls on property, personal and real. It follows that the tax for protection i should be paid where the property. is situated. ' - 777'"' Mortgages which are for all purposes realty, should net escape their just bur den, for the protection vouchsafed the security, is enjoyed by the mortgage "es tate. But, says one, this would mean double taxation; Not at all. Deduct from the value of * the 7! property the amount of the mortgage and .assess the balance to the . holder of the fee. Then assess the mortgage as If it -were realty. This would avoid double .taxation and compel the owner of the mortgage to pay his tax where his property enjoys - the protection of the law. - - The money lender says if his mortgage estate be taxed he -will raise his rate of interest. Well, what, of it? That is a purely business- matter between: the bor rower and lender.. Missouri and Califor nia have both a "systemA' of mortgage taxation in" vogue and up to date there has been no special disarrangement ot the economical universe. Neither did capital fold its tent j like the Arabs and quietly steal away, as ' some confidently asserted it would. Gov.Odell attempted last winter to put through the New York legislature a mortgage taxation bill which was unique . if not practicable. It provided for a stamp tax on all mortgages. Mortgages without - the proper stamps affixed and canceled were to be void. This scheme made the mortgage .holder a tax de tective as well as tax collector. Could such a law be universal among the states it would work like a charm, but it would be open to the serious objection of caus ing double taxation, unless the system of assessment outlined above were fol lowed. . A If the Dispatch can nominate one rea>" son why the owner of a mortgage Should not pay taxes on his property it might inspire some confidence in th. position which it takes in favor of free mortgages. The commission and the legislature .nay blunder in dealing with this phase of taxation. Judging from the Dispatch's forecast the commission certainly will. Any attempt to tax mortgages without regarding them as real estate will 1.3 a blunder. The remedy is not in doing away with mortgage taxation, but in starting it right. An attempt to tax mortgage securities as personal property has been and always will be a failure. When the instrument is the evidence of the property interest it is very convenient to hide it or assign it to an aunt in Ver mont. * - - THE SERVANT GIRL, ABROAD. . To the looker-on th Vienna there is a great deal of quiet enjoyment to be had out of the different phases which 'the so-called servant, girl problem assumes. It is a very kaleidoscope of social change and rearrangement. ..Just 7 about the time when- one might have substantial reason for expecting that Vie matrons of the land would be organizing them-^ selves for effective protection against the woes which, find their origin in ..the kitchen, behold we learn of the organiza tion of servant girl unions throughout the land! The autocrat of the cook 'stove, the dining room and the bed chamber, it ap pears, assumes a very harmless appear- r ance in some other lands besides this. Here the right to resort to the parlor and drawing room at certain specified times may be insisted on, and the right to receive "company" and entertain them* after dark may be a privilege sanctioned by tradition and usage alike among this easy-going people; but it is not so elsewhere. And that it is not so else where is a reflection which renders the sorrows of the household matron all the harder to bear. In Germany, for . instance, they "do things different." There, as the result of years of thoughtful regulation, the household servant has been completely divested of even the appearance of a domestic; autocrat. The question never comes up there as to what the .servant girl has hired out to do. In Germany the qualified butler is an equally capa ble gardener; while the chambermaid is just a love of a cook, and ; altogether they appear to be the most docile and well-trained persons in the world, who, in case there is the slightest dereliction, - can be disposed of without possibility of trouble. The uninformed American householder j naturally wonders how such things have been brought about. Well, it is not dif ficult to learn. The process, whether regarded as simple or complex, must ;at least.be regarded as effective. First of all, the great depot of servant girl sup ply ih Germany appears to be the police department' As soon as you: de cide to get a servant girl in Germany you go to the police department. On paying' the . small sum of 50 pfennigs they give you a book, i That book tells you about the servant whom you are at liberty to hire; where he or she was born, where educated and trained, his or her religion, whether married or- single, where he or she has lived for the past two years and so on with a close. personal description of the individual, so that there may no mis take as to identity. Then when you hire the servant you must fill out certain blanks. and return them to the police, or you - will get yourself into trouble. These blanks you fill in order to tell what wages you are paying your servant, and wheth er he or she gets your old clothes and what kind of work you want the servant to do. When the servant girl leaves; you she must- forthwith hi e herself 7to the police, taking with her a written testimonial setting "forth why she . was* discharged and how she conducted her self while holding down the job. We haven't anything of that kind' in this country, and its absence must, of course be taken to ;; a great extent as explaining ; why : the servant girl with us: is so complicated. a social and economic. ':pAUl^^^B__; r ]&6^AY,£sEM^ problem. . Why ', not establish something of that kind here?.7The police of course might object to""keeping tab" on the servant girl; but that difficulty could in time be overcome. -The servant girl her self might 'have sCmthing to say; but if ■ she were a law-abiding damsel she would soon reconcile herself to the requirement. Indeed, looked at from the proper stand point, it is * easy to see . that the advan tages>of the system ate all on the side of the servant girl. a 7 It is quite plain that until something lof the kind . 1s adopted the servant girl will never, il the United States at least, attain to that high degree of docility and competence which all well-regulated servant girls should strive. to attain to.

Shaffer was guilty of a commen mistake—he was a lit tle too previous. Let the nations of the earth set aside an island of considerable size for the use of all anarchists.

The experiment would ho doubt suit them and put the balance of the world at rest. — At the theaters.

"A Common Sinner" pleased a thronged house at the Grand last night. Big Bl I Devere, from whose prolific brain "A Common Sinner" emanated, and who for the first time appears in St. Paul in a stellar capacity, informs his friends that the comedy is a conglomeration of ludi crous absurdities, which teaches no mor al, boasts of no plot and introduces no villain. From the blue grass-laden air of Ken tucky to New York and the seashore is a far cry, but these are the three local.ties that the comedy covers in as many acts. It is a story of a fortune of millions seek ing whom it may make happy.: Rotund Big Bill Devere is the recipient, but the curtain rings down on a magnanimous transfer of the money to the long-lost daughter of the or'g'nal owner.. Several familiar faces g-eeted . first nighters at.the Grand last night, among «whom were William Devere, William Philbrlck, Clayton Kennedy and Miss Mayme Taylor. Their greeting last night" was cordial. 7 — As Col. Culpepper j Sinner, a drummer for Kentucky whisky, William Devere has lost none o.fhis old-time -versatility. A cold last night possibly smothered lines that might have been more distinct, but his clean-cut humor 'is as natural as of old. Ima Gusher, a grass widow of un usual coyness, finds excellent portrayal at the hands ;of Miss - Mayme Taylor.." Her work is more than satisfying, while as a vocalist she has a voice of unusual sweet ness and power. ."The Honeysuckle and the Bee,"- a song by Miss Daisy King, received 'unstinted applause, - while some creditable soft shoe dancing was done by Miss Mattie Rooney. Clayton Kennedy went through some piano pyrotechnics and received a number of encores. - Fred Irwin's show which opened at the Star yesterday has a roster of thirty-one people consisting .of two comedians, a male quartette, fifteen vaccinated beauties and the eight Cornallas. The entertain ment presented took well with the au diences which pre-empted even. standing room. Billy" Watson , and Will Mcßabie by dint of hard j work make the two skits "A Live Wire,". and "Are You an Eagle" fairly amusing. The female contingent make good collectively; rather . than In dividually, for there are no star special ists among them. While a good -deal of the music has the merit of being new this season -there, were no songs that made much of an impression. Dolly Jardon sang ballads passably well. 7 The De montrevilles,, eccentric . tumblers, '. gained applause chiefly owing to the trick scen ery employed in their act. Ama Burman and Lizzie Van* need more ginger before they : can be • considered very a snappy. Eight living pictures, ; which were quite artistic, constituted a ; good feature. The male quartette sang well, - but their - ef forts to be funny were rather strained. Mcßobie and Watson won several encores with a a rapid-fire .'dialogue -and knock about act. . The Cornailas gave an acro batic act that does not differ materially from that of last" season, but is never theless first class.

"We must not repose in fancied security," he , says, "that we can forever, sell ;everything ' and "7-.buy., little or nothing. If such a thing were possible, : if would not be best for . us or for those with whom we deal." .7 This has been said before, but Its / present source gives * it- a fresh signifi cance. 7* It is part of the president's plea for reciprocity, as "the natural outgrowth of our wonderful Industrial develop ment." If some- of our tariffs.are no longer; needed for revenue or to pro tect our industries at home, why should they not be; employed to extend our markets abroad? There is but . one an swer to this, and the most timid manu facturer cannot distrust the president as a; "free trader." ' w - and some references to the subject was made in every church.
