T?IE?U.lxil.S' TAX t'UN.
A most intere?"?,infami im ??, ?na ni -U?
risioa ha?? recently been made by the
Bujircmc Court or tlie ?"r?tate o? 1111
?noii? against the Stai?* Board of Equal?
isation, embodying, as i: does, instruc?
tions as ?o hou eoiiwriiti?us/suall in*

iiavc noi seca Un? decision in lull ?>ui
iccordiug to ?Oie Chicago Chronicle, the
court says that in assessing a corpo?
ration ihe assessor ?shall ascertain and

By way of explanation, the Chroaieie

The amount i>? be assessed, as ascer?
tained by ibis calculation, is the same
as the market value oi the capital
Block. The assessment might as .veil
have been made at lhat sum from the
beginning.
The reason is plain. The bonded
deht of the corporation was incurred ia
the purchase or construction of what
constitutes its tangible property. The
two amounts offset each other. The
result, is that the market value of Hie
stock represents all the taxable prop?
erty of tlie corporation, its tangible
?property aad its franchises.
Just how that will operate as to
railroad??"""*?*! other corporations whose
physical property does not lie wholly
within the State of Illinois we are not
Informed. We understand that in
North Carolina, the Illinois plan has
been adopted, and the railroad corpo,
rations are assessed on their capital
stock accordili*; to the number of miles
of road in ihe Start".
It is well known Ilia, the industrial
eorjioratioBs of the country, popular?
ly called trusts, art capitalized on die
"basis of. their earning capacity rather
lhan upon the basis of their physical
?property. This is largely true also of
railway companies, of street railway
i'ompanies, of telephone companies
and other such corporations. It would
appear from the Illinois decision, above
cited, that the Supreme Court of that
State had in mind in rendering this
decision the idea of taxing corporations
upon that same basis?that is to say,
a/ocord'mg to their earning capacity.
We have heard it hinted lhat. the Com?
mittee on Finance of the Virginia
Constitutional Convention has under
consideration the same principili in
framing a tax ordinance for Virginia
GERMANY'S THREAT.
The Berlin correspondent oC the
New York Herald reports an interest?
ing Interview with Dr. Wilhelm Veud
landt, general secretary of the Ger?
m?n Industrial Union, who, at the re?
cent annual Congress of Germany's
great manufacturing interests, pro?
posed a German boycott of American
products- He is quoted as having said
that the United Statics dwells in a
fool's paradise if it thinks the richest
of ?Tankee mills, miners and fields are
any longer vital to European existence.
He believed in fighting America witli
the same weapon of exclusion which
America herself is using so relentlessly
and so successfu?ly, while Europe was
absolutely on the defensive. "N? oth?
er course can save, us," lie continued?
"an eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth is the only kind of reciprocity
which Germany can afford while tlie
Dingley ac-t stands like a widely ex-,
tended bayonet charge to repel inter?
national intercourse. No commercial
treaties are possible while that monu?
ment of selfishness frowns down upon
us." He proposes and predicts an all
European union against, ihe United
States.
?"Chore is a great deal of bluster in
this and it comes in poor grace from a
German citizen, seeing that Germauy
herself has a high tariff. But there
is something in it for the people of ijiis
country to consider. Trade implies
reciprocity. All Uie trading cannot be
on one side. If we expect, to sell our
products abroad we must also expect
to bay from the foreigners- If we ex?
pect to go iato tin? European mafic;?:::,
we must pernii? HJuropcans io come

?the high priest o? protection, ivali?-..d
aad recognized this fact, and the last
*?*poech which he made was a "recip?
rocity"' speech, which is but. aaoil??.*:?
nani??? for a free-trade speech. The
protectionists have abandoned the

iu this connection Sir Christopher
1'N.rnosK, an Englishman, now visiting
?Oh'caco, who is recognized as an au
th?r?Cy on financial and economic
mattere, is quoted by a Chicago cov
res-tondont as baring recently de?
clared thai; Uie United ???-tates is des?

"Wilh lier vasi, resources and mil?

li is preposterous to sa.v that such a

THE PASSSINQ Ol- AN ANARCHIST;
Leon F; GzolgoSZ, tlie murderer of
AVilliam McKinley, ?lies to-day. and his
career Is summed up in ibis: He lived
for nought and did the worst that he
could! lb* thought ihat the world was

tion by slaying the head* of a. great

nation's point of view lie was too l>t'l.?
and insignificant to be contemptible.
He was simple pitiful. ?? had no
power save ?ie physical power to de- j
stroy human life?a power possessed
in a gi*ea?ter degree by the beasts of
the held, for they slay wiihoui the use
of weapon.
Exit Czolgosz? His poor little life
was spent to poor purpose? He was the
pitiful victim of a school which now
laughs at his folly.
But there is a leas?n in the life even
of this misguided degenerate. He
thought that the Government was
against him. and so he thought ro
strike the Government as bard as he
could. There are others like him. I
There are many men, who think thatj
the Goverinuent is responsible for all j
their failures. They do nut believe in ?
the merit system. They do not believe !
that success is a matter of individual j
endeavor. They do not believe ihat j
the plain ?people can better their con- J
dit ion by their own brain aud brawn- :
They look to the Government to help
! ?them along, and they think that the
Government is to blame because they
ilo not get along. Hence they arc al?
ways finding fault with "conditions."
But if these chronic compia mers would
only have a frank understanding with
themselves they would soon find our.
where the fault lies. Gzolgosz knows
now- But in his ease t?ie knowledge
comes too late.
The Times has long recognized the
fact that a respectable minority party
is needed in every Southern State, and
we have dot hesitated to say that such
a party is needed in Virginia? But
that docs not mean that the time has
come io overthrow the Democratic
party in this Slate and put the Repub?
lican party in power. The Republican
'party as now constituted is certainly
not entitled to ?the respect and confi?
dence of the people of Virginia, and ;t
would be rash and foolhardy for them
to turn out the Democratic parry,
which they know to be true to ihe best.
interests of the State, and give Colonel
Hoge and his followers an opportunity
to malee experiments.
We say that this is no trifling tnat
?ter. It. is a serious proposition, ?ind
the people of ihis Stale must consider
it seriously. They must do more than
this; they must see to it ?that Montague
and Willard ?and Anderson get a tri?
umphant election, and that the party
has a ,u<hh1 working majority in both

CURRENT TOi'ICS.
In speaking of the changes which the
Republican politicians are now mak.ng
against the Constitutional Convention,
the Lynchburg x? vi*s says:

.?on. Josiah Turner, whr m his day
was one of the most conspicuous figures
in North Carolina politics, is dead, in

PRINCESS BONNIE TO-NIGHT.
The Opera to Be Wei! Presented by Gifted
Amateurs.
Princess. Bonnie will be produced at the
Academy to-night by a local cast, but on
a magnificent scale. In swelling stage
crowds, in new and attractive scenery, in
bright costumes, the production promises
to stand at the head s? anything so far
attempted by local talent. "The opera, will
be given to-night and again on Thursday
night, and the proceeds will be devoted to
the building fund of the Hebrew Kome for
the Aged and Infirm. The sale of seats
for th-T; cyening performanc-j to-night has
been very large, especially in the lower
parts of the house. In the galleries pop?
ular prices will prevail, scaled down to a
quarter in the gallery.
As a spectacle the opera will be fully
entitled to consideration. Much new
scenery has been built for it, and with
accessories that are picturesque, the
whole scheme of putting the pretty piece
upon the stage is very elaborate and con?
vincing.
From a musical standpoint the opera
is worty of all consideration. It is one
of the most popular operas that has been
produced in recent years. It has been
cr.c of the most successful, too, from a
bcx-office standpoinr, equalling in pros?
perity tho famous Robin Hood n-of the
Bostonian?, and surpassing nearly every
ether work giver a stage hearing tn the
