such as it is the fame of Rudyard
Kipling, and the gentle art of poesy re
ceive no componea'.ion for the wrong
done.
Tho "Beggar" is perhaps no worse in
itself than many other efforts of Mr.
Kiplitjg I am happy to aay that I
have read only a little of Mb "poetry"
but the circumstances of its composi
tion and sale make it a conspicuous
example. One can pass by Mr. Kip
ling's part in it with the reflection that
ho who stoops to conquer will soon get
tho rheumatism in his jjinta, so that be
can with difficulty straighten himself
(gain. Mr. Kipling's chances for be
coming the star writer of coon songs
Enfjiiabed appear .to ba good. But,
Meanwhile, because be has been given
S1 place among, real writers on the
strong th of a few bits of good work the
noble name of literature suffers some
disparagement. That such otuff will
ho accepted or tolerated, that publishers
will pay great prices for it, that a well
I' nown signature will carry it into all
corners of the globe is all bad and dis
tressing, and apparently without remedy.
Tht ro is tho more reason why those
whoso names are household wordB
phould keep their trust es nearly as they
cin. It will one dav behaid that not
tho least of M. Kipling's faultB was bis
halt of any sense of resonsibility, his
nee of his power recklessly, wantonly.
Ihon, since the "Beggar" is to be a
wnrfong.it strikes an American that
thu Boers may get much "encourage-
iJU from it. They certainly will be.
"cvo it to be their "destiny" to wipe
from the face of the earth such a race
of degenerates as the doggerel indicates
haB been sent against them.

LETTERS TO "GREENBOY."

Aside from the main question of what
we are to do with the Filipino Wands
and the ever bubbling one of silver
there are some side issues that might
properly be called "asslEtant issues."
They are not really of national import
ance, but were added to the platform of
both parties at national conventions.
pBrtly in orJer to make these instru
merits of sufficient length and partly to
"befog the uninitiated.
The tariff is a question that has been
practically settled for all time. Protec
tion of home industries by taiiog foreign
products has given a great impetus to
home industry. It has also developed
trusts and combinations of branches of
industry that may in time dictate both
the price of manufactured goods and
the price of labor,
The republican platform of 1830 has
thU sentence: ' Protection for what we
produce; free admissions for the neces
saries of life which we do not produce".
The Hist half of this phrase has been re
ligiously lived up to. The second half,
in part at least, has been more honored
in the breach than the observance.
Under the heading of promiscuous
matter is arranged all paragraphs con
cerning civil service; the digging of the
Nicaragua ditch to let the Atlantic
mingle tears with the Pacific; interna
tional arbitration, lynching, the temper
ance question and woman suffrage. Aa
tonics, advertised on national platform
I latform programs, we have promts s of
expanded pensions for veterans and for
such as will be veteran some day and
the promise of employment for idle labor
in times when nourishment is less
abundant than usual and harder; to get.
Income tax and the graduated inherit'
ance tax, however, are questions that
Bra fairly debatable and therefore de
serve a place among material ' issues.
The adverse decision of the supreme
court on the income tax haB brought
atout a declaration by the democratic
party that but for his decision there
would not now nor ever hereafter be a
deficit in revenue. To so frame laws
that the burden of taxation shall fall
equally and impartially on rich, com
fortably fixed, the poor, and every body
else is one of those conundrums that
haB bothered many generations, and its
attempted solution has crowded the in
sane asylums.
Nearly all the taxes It vied and col
lected in tho United States are imposed
upon what Ib produced and what is con
sumed, rather than upon accumulation.
This is esoentially wrong both from an
economical and. moral standpoint. Many,
if not moit, of the expanded .and over
grown fortunes are the result of the
prostitution of the taxing power to the
requirements and dictates of private in
dividuals or of families closely connected
by birth or marriage the people who
constitute that element which could
properly bo designated as professional
worshippers of deceased ancestors. Yet
it would bo quite as wrong to levy an
extra tax on capital that the possessor
has acquired by his own personal in-'
dustry: That which you Lave acquired
by your own efforts ia jours and should'
not be subject to official curtailment for.
the beaefit of the lw thrifty and the
professionally idle.
It is quite a different matter with
property one baa inherited. 'Such
property constitutes wealth to the ac
cumulation of which you have not lifted
one finger. It is your simple duty to
hare the expenses of, municipal, atate
abd national government in exact pro
portion to the wealth turned over to
you without any, effort of your own.
Born with a golden spoon in your moutb,
it is your duty to recognize that 'act by
assisting in promoting the general wel
fare. The suprnme court of the United
States has upheld the constitutionality
of the Illinois progressive inheritance
tax law, banding down an opinion
scarcely second in importance to, and
not conflicting with the decision affir ra
ng the unconstitutionality or the in
cometax law of 1801. The Illinois
law is a radical measure. The chief
provision is that properties passing to
direct heirs are exempted in the case of
each heir up to (20.000 and taxed one
per cent on everything in excess of that
amount. The court decided that the
tax ia not on property, but ou the privi
lege of euccesaion. This ia a great step
forward In the right direction.
