Police Corruption In New York.
'Tltersport of the grand jury on the
police corruption in Kew York city is
one of the most remarkable documents
ever presented. The jury detail that
they have been from the beginning sys-
tematically hampered in all possible
ways by fire police department itself,
by the very authorities whose interest
it w. most of all to have the police or-
ganisation purged and cleansed from
the ground up, the guilty ones dismissed
and punished, the innocent ones known
and commended. This attitude of itself
was damning proof of the guilt of the
superior officers of the police force. It
has been shown to the grand jury sails.

up a fortune by taking presents which

is in the high places that the corruption
exists. Where the underlines have tak-

largely on the orders of their superiors
and to enrich their superiors. Black
ngh is this plain statement.
In the history of municipal govern-

utable or disgraceful has ever come to
the surface than the cold, hard facts
shown up in the conclusion of the New
York grand jury‘s report:
The evidence has left no doubt in our minds
M for years it has been the practice of many
police captains in their respective lirmvlnvls to
receive money as bribes for protecting viola-
tors of low. and to extort money from law
abiding citizens as thcprico of r-xv‘mpflnl’i from
interference and annoyance. We believe

down on them with his dictum of blood
and iron, the German people have taken
to loving their old lion Bismarck. They
used to admire and stand in awn of him
in the days of his power. They never
loved him till now. The snub given to
him by the young emperor first excited
their sympathy and it followed him into
his retirement. Then when they no lon-

judgment had time to clear, and they
began to see that this greatest of all
continental statesmen was really the
founder and builder of Germany. (ilad-

Direct and Indirect Taxation.
Dr. Albert Shaw. in The Review of
Reviews, quotes from John Stuart
Mill's textbook in political economy the
following paragraphs defining the dif-
ference bewteen direct and indirect tax-
atlon:
Taxes are either direct or indirect. A direct
tax is one which is demanded from the very
persons who it is intended or rh‘sirod should
pay it. indirect , taxes are those demanded
from one when: in the oxpwtmlnn and inten-
tion that he shall indemnify himself at the ex-
pensoof another. such as the union or custom».
The producer or importer of a commodity is
rolled upon to pay tax on it. not with the in-
tentmu to levy a peculiar contribution upon
him, but to tax through him the monomers of
the commodity. from whom it is summed that
he will recover the amount by mmusof an ad-
vance in price.
Direct taxes are cithofi. on income or on ex»
pendituro. The maroon :8 income are rout,
pronto and wags-n. This includes every sort of
income, except gift or plunder. Taxi-s may he
laid on any one of the three kinds of income.
or a uniform tn: on all of tin-m A tax on
rent falls wimlly on the landlord. A tax on
profits, like a tax on root. "null-at least in its
immediate olwrntion. fail wholly nil the payer.
We now turn to taxes on wag-m Any tax levied
on those (the higher grades of mental ul' edit
Cater] labor) fall.» on llmm- who pay it.
But Mill'o distinction is faulty. it is
not true that a tax on rent falls wholly
on the landlord. llis tenants pay it just
so surely as the consumer pays the cusr
toms duties on the wines and textile
fabrics he buys from the merchant who
imports them. To tell tlm truth, the
line cannot be drawn emu-11y between
the direct and the indirect tax. Even
when profits are taxed the man who
gets the profits raises the prim of his
goods so as to get the amount out of his
customers. Wages alone of the three
seams of Wealth mentioned by Mill
seem at first thought to constitute the
one in which an income tax would be a
direct tar. But even here the wage
earner will try to get his pay raised so
that he can get the tax out of the busi-
ness in which he is employed. That he
cannot do it always is not his fault. He
would if he could
0n the whole, is there any such thing
as a direct tax? Is it not. like so many
other beliefs. an exploded superstition
of the political economists of 200 years
ago?
The Battlefield of Shiloh.
The annual reunion of Union and Con-
federate veterans on Shiloh battleground
is more interesting this year than it ever
was before, more interesting than it can
ever be again. for this year northern
and southern soldiers representing or-
ganizations from 2i different states.

where they had stood and fought and
where so malty of their brave comrades
fell on that bloody day. Shiloh will
henceforth be a great national military
park. like Gettysburg and Chattanooga.
o“ ark the spot where brothers fought
wit each other in a day long since
vanished, in a temper long since cooled
off, only to think the more of onese—
cther afterward. It is a fact that not in
the memory of any man living have
there been so good feeling. so much
unity of sentiment. between north and
south as there areal present. Even the
politicians cannot check this steadily
using tideot brotherly good will and
love for and pride in the whole coun-
try, not merely scparate sections ofit.

ll Benton. widow of the American

them. declares that her husband was the
victim of a conspiracy at which several
American consuls in Honduras actually
oonnived. The trading company which
she accuses of killing her husband has
its headquarters on Cannon island. its
manager is J. G. Dawe. Mrs. Kenton
and'her counsel charge that all the
American consuls in Honduras within
800 miles of Caunonisland are in the
pay of the Cannon island gang and
throw everything its way. Mrs. Kenton
says she codld get no sort of redress
from any American consul when she
appealed to her country's representa-
tives in Honduras. She therefore ap-
penis directly to the government at
Washington. If her story turns out to
be true. it will be the blackest blotch
that has yet stained the American con,-
sular service in history. it will make
out American consuls tube villains and
assassins * ‘
Little Billee of Germany is deter-
mined his people shall not forget his all
leged poem, “Aogir.” If a newspaper
joker had suggested aname for the new
ironclad which the emperor was to
christen. undoubtedly he would have
recommended "Aegir" as a humorous
idea But Little Billee turned the mat-
ter over in his powerful mind, took it
seriously and gave that very name to
the ship. He pretended that he meant to
commemorate a powerful ancient pagan
god of the Teutonic people. but it was
evidently only pretense. He actually
meant to commemorate his own poem.
