There was a time?and that not so long ?go?when David Bennett Hill of New York ?u generally believed 10 be nothing more than a shrewd and somewhat shallow poli tician whoae only object was the political and. con?M,ueBtljr. financial betterment of. himself and those with whom he had Joined baads. Today the country has another and a belt-.- opinion of Senator Hill?baaed on ?tore solid ground than that which served as a foundation for the earlier theory. Ful ly Ufteea thousand New Jersey farmers were present at the Somerset county fair yesterday and most of them listened atten tively to a speech by the Senator which had in It very much that sensible Individuals can ?'inni?-n<i ai-d little or none that can fairly be criticised. It was statesmanship and not Httcal considerations that led the Senator to dlr-ct the special attention bf his audi ence to the unfortunate tendency of the times toward class legislation and to the 1? gislative weakness which encourages the ni i. eh -1 >-be-deplored tendency. "We are re minded on every hand." said the Senator, "that the farmers want this, the working n an wants that, the corporation wants at me thing else; the manufacturers want one thing, the importers want another, and all are intent upon the pursuit of their own selfish interests, regardless almost of the* common good." This Is the truth in a nnt shell. and although demagogues may and doubtless will endeavor to persuade those same Tinners who yesterday heard Senator Hill that the discriminations which he con demns will bc-nellt the agricultural classes. It should be evident to farmers the whole country over that in the adjustment of In equalit.es th; bulk of the burden is always ? erne by the actual producer. In spite of the fact toat the tariff bill and all that in It Is Is a law for which the democratic party must be iield responsible. Senator Hill's op rositlon to that infamous discrimination? the income tax?has not in any sense di minished. On that point he spoke bravely. ?'I have." said he, "no sympathy with that clamou- that is always seeking some new scheme to reach the rich or to oppress the poor. Equal and just laws for all classes is the true theory of our free institutions. ? ? ? A system of taxation designed especially to make unjust discriminations against the rich is equally as objectionable as one which casts all the burdens upon the poor. It real estate Is to taxed, then all real es tate should be taxed; if personal property Is to be taxed, then let substantially all of it be taxed; if Incomes are to be taxed, then let all Incomes be taxed or none at all. ? ? ? I object to a tax upon the thrift, the ener gy, the brains, the earnings of a citizen. Any system of taxation is objectionable which proposes to relieve any citizen, no ir.atter bow hi mble he may be, or whether be owns property, real or personal, or not, from having some share of the burden of government, either national, state, county or town." Upon that unyielding rock of true prin ciple the Senator upreared a substantial and logically-built structure which showed con clusively that compelling the rich to pay substantially all taxes will ere long result ir- the taxpayers demanding the right to control the elective franchise of the country; to establish, in fact, a plutocracy. ^ s m Much time has elapsed since maimings mnd death made plain the necessity for fen ders on mechanically-propelled street cars, yet those important essentials are still lacking. Immediately following upon some of the most serious of the avoidable acci dents came promises of voluntary equip ment as soon as a "suitable fender" could be found. Street railroad companies in other cities have succeeded in finding and putting to practical use fenders that seemed to do all that could possibly be required of them, but they do not appear to satisfy Washington corporations. It may be that the ideal fender has not yet been Invented, but if that be so the fact cannot be ad vanced as a reason for further delay. It is understood that the Dtstrlct Commis sioners are anxious to compel the compa nies to equip their cars with what seems to be the best available appliance for the saving of life when a car collides with a human being. Behind the Commissioners la a law which the attorney for the District bolds Is ample in Its scope and strong enough to stand any sort of a test. Behind the law is unanimous public sentiment. What more is nee led? The nomination of Levi P. Morton as the republican candidate for governor of New York seems to be a foregone conclusion. His "barrel" may have promoted his nomi nation, but he seems to have other points of advantage. He has passed through an extended political career with credit, if not with any great distinction, and from his even temper and amiable manners he has male few personal enemies. There has been some opposition to his candidacy from the fact that Thomas C. Piatt is backing him. But it seems that Morton is not Piatt's first choice and he has only been taken up by the republican boss as the most available candidate. - ?-o a o? Unless another fearful encounter in Corea Is reported soon, some distinguished war correspondent will b; deprived of his salmon-pink lead pencil and his salary. The Inquiry has frequently been raised why acgrees of prominence have deliber ately elected to ally themselves with the democratic party. There have be n. many answers, but probably none so squarely met the question as the reply vouchsafed yes terday by Mr. H. C. C. Astwood, who (itemed It necessary to explain to C. H. J. Taylor of Kansas why he resigned the chairmanship of the executive committee of the Negro Democratic League. It has been ?aid that our principles are the springs of our actions. If that be so. then there are times w her. the word "principle" is strangely misapplied- The Astwood letter tnekes perfectly plain the reasons why nea-rocs of a certain class decidcd to become demo crats, and makes it equally clear that If the administration In power had only provided Mr. Astwood with an office he would not now be threatening a campaign against the democracy. With remarkable frankness, Mr. Astwood says that his only reason for becoming a democrat was founded upon the hope that he would be rewarded with a well-paid government position, and now that a year and a half of democratic rule has gone by without the appearance of recognition or recompense, he Is prepared to forsake his self-sought allegiance and Join the ranks of any other organization the espousal of whose principles seems likely to result In material gain. Thosa who read the Astwood letter, which was printed In yesterday's Evening Star, must, however, liave noticcd that Mr. Astwood has not yet entirely sovered his connection with the democratic party; he merely threatens to do to In case the advice he so fre-*ly proffers is unheeded by President Cleveland. He ahows how the possible revolt may be averted by the appointment of himself and ?therj of UU kind to positions now tilled by persons regards by himself as less worthy than those he nominates, and then says: "If this Is done, I can and will be with you to the end (presumably to the end of his term of office): If It cannot be done In the whole nor In part. I can see no reason why negroes should be democrats." That Is probably the cl -arest-cut offer to sell a vote and Influence ever made by any Individual to any political organization: it Is political Immorality of the, lowest and most vicious typo; It Is pitch that defiles any one who touches It. That some negroes should be democrats is not surprising?in fact, a great many of them ought to be, for during the many years when the xepublican party had complete control of the government Important pledges to the negro were disre garded. Under those circumstances, transi tion from the republican to the democratic party was merely natural, and whenever it occurred but few unfavorable comments were made, for behind the movement was a certain amount of principle. If a negro believes in the doctrines of the democratic party he should vote the democratic ticket, and would be justified in endeavoring to persuade as many as possible of his asso ciates to follow his example: but in the interest of good government thousands of thoughtful Americans hope with all sincer ity that men of the Astwood stripe will become fewer with all possible rapidity until not one shall remain. No greater dange- assails this country than that which lurks behind the prostitution of the ballot to the uses of those who regard the general government as nothing more than a salary paying institution. m ? m How unfortunate some people are! Some of the hired advocates of the overhead trol ley system have recently been quite active in demonstrating by words and figures the harmless character of the overhead-trolley current. The argumei.t., had barely achieved circulation when a trolley-wlr^ In Ix>ng Island City burned out, broke apart be tween the poles, struck a passing horse in the chest and killed the animal Instantly. 'The driver received a severs shock, while i'he driver's wife was badly burned and tendered unconscious, because she, in at tempting to get out of the wagon, hap :pened to touch a piece of the vehicle's metal work. Up to this time ro official explana tion has been vouchsafed as to how the current?which well-paid attorneys declare to be merely a gentle otimulant?could have Instantly killed a young and healthy horse. But by-and-by a column or so of electro rr.athematlcal calculations will show con clusively ti e impossibility of such an oc currence. Occasionally the public Is regaled with descriptions of a phenomenal sort of man who Imbibes two or three thousand volts several times a week and likes It very much, but such cases are far less generally interesting than the one which comes from Long Island City, where a normally sound horse was killed by a current that un scrupulous experts say canrot kill, and occupants of the wagon with which the horse was connected shocked and burned aimcst to death by a voltage which those same conscienceless experts insist would not harm a kindergarten. It can be offered as a confident predic tion that somebody will be elected Con gressman from northern Kentucky if the mud hokl3 out. < ? ? Mr. C. H. J. Taylor's creed Is marred by a certain ter.dency to confuse civil rights and civil service. The fruit consumers In New York are making complaints about the peach output. So are the police. ? ?m ? ? Mr. Astwood's letter shows alarming symptoms of lie great-and-good-frlend habit. ? > ? The indications are that a gigantic po litical cold wave is gathering In the north east. It is to be said of C. H. J. Taylor that he is not the quitter that Peter Jackson is. m ? m SHOOTING STARS. The School Boy. He asks no coat that's bullet-proof In trials coming soon; But he wishes some one would Invent A birch-proof pantaloon. A Prophecy. . "How will Senator Sorghum come out of the next election?" asked the Interviewer. "He won't have a chance to come out cf it at all," replied the voter. "He won't be In it," Compensation. "Th'>se poor arctic explorers have had some dreadful experiences," said the lym ( patheUc woman. "I know it," replied young Mrs. Torkins. "But they have had their pictures taken in some perfectly lovely furs." Somewhat Confined. "Things Is getttn' mighty mixed, Mandy," said Parmer Corntossel; "mighty mixed." "Whut's the matter?" "The politicians air all tryln' ter tell the farmers about farmln' an' the farmers air tryln' ter tell the politicians about poli | tics." Sarcasm. "I understand," said Miss Fledgling, "that the Baron de Palque has lost his reputa tion." "Indeed!" replied Miss Ohlburd. "Well, for his sake I sincerely hope so." Hla Athletic Accomplishments. He would exercise his biceps with a mallet in croquet; He could wield a tennis racket in a very charming way. To see him hit the punching bag would really do you good. But he couldn't wouldn't undertake to split the kindling wood. Another Prlzc-Hing Sensation. "You don't mean to tell me that you fought the champion of pugilism to a draw?" "Exactly. I went into the ring with him just long enough to let an artist sketch us." Mr. Jones' Plop. From the St. Loais Globe-Dc-uioorat. Nevada Jones denounced the greenback ers when they appeared to have better chances for accomplishing something than the populists ever will have, and they (lid not stand for as many political absurdities and iniquities either as his new friends do. Paid in Kind. From tbe Chicago Iotcr-Octzn. Congressman Holman has hurried home from Washington to object to the deser tion of democrats from the party there. The great objector finds much objection to his re-election. Plenty of Help. From the Chicago News-Record. Major McKinley must find It delightfully easy to make adverse criticisms of ihe new tariff bill. He is being assisted in the task by nearly every orator and news paper in the country. ?? ? * A Pointer for the Assessor. Froia tbe Cbi -n^o Tribune.
