THI3 REPUBLICAN party of Pennsylvania in 1S02 began tho system of taxation which finds culmination in the fact that not a single citizen of tho state, as a citizen, pays a single cent of state taxation. This Is not true of any other state In tho Union or of any other country In the world. Governor Odelt of New Yoik Is only now seeking the adoption of the same system, and his efforts are commended by the lead ing minds in that state. In 1862 the Republican legislature of Pennsylvania abolished all state taxes upon individual ownership of real estate, making every home free from that form of taxation; this was follow ed by taking a direct state tax from all persons and occupations, and from hors-es, cattle, wagons, furniture, etc. Now corporations, their receipts, fran chises; liquor and mercantile licenses; moneys at Interest, dividends, etc., pay all Indirect taxes. What the governor of New York has set out' to do was so to utilize the resources of the state, so to simplify, and as the printers say "justify," the system of taxation as to make it possible for the people of tho state to be relieved from the visits of the tax gatherer. It seems to the gov ernor that it would be possible so to husband the Income from the excise tax, from the railroad taxation and from the receipts for franchises as to raise a sufficient amount of money to pay the expenses of the state without imposing a direct tax upon the citizens. To do this he believed it to be necessary to tax all franchises, to equalize and increase tho taxes paid by some of tho banking Institutions, especially the trust companies, and to change the taxation upon mortgages. All of this and more has long &Inco been accomplished by Pennsylvania. Tho Keystone state is far ahead of tho Empire state In matters of taxation in relief to the Individual and the owner of a farm or home. And It is ahead because with the exception of two administrations in forty years, It lias hud Republican governors and legislatures the powers whlrh repealed direct taxes upon persons, and did it so wisely that our state gathers revenues amounting to over fourteen millions annually from corporations, etc., and from this great sum appropriates an nually live and a half millions to the public bdiools, and nearly as much to charities thus relieving home taxation mid home burdens. Our citizens will favor u continuance of this policy In 1902 by electing the Republican btate and legislative ticket. For the year 1901-2 tho trade of Can ada was nearly $124,000,000, an Increase in six years of $183,000,000. In ten years Canadian exports have more than doubled. Under tho British preference not British .Imports Into Canada In D years have Increased "0 per cent., show ing thut the policy of reciprocity be tween colony and mother land (which Is what the pteforeiico act amounts to) Is not wlthuut bcuetlt to tho former. American Imports Into Canada have alto largely Increased; but there Is no reason to doubt that under a wisely ordered reciprocity treaty they would incre'ase inuch more rapidly. Cunada la a coining gold mine for American commercial exploitation If tho people of the two countries shall be wlso enough a cultivate freer economic ro latlons. Ipatead of building spite fences. -. Allnister Wu. Ir WILL) bo good news for the peo ple of the United States If Min ister Wu Ting-fang shull, as re , parted, be given it longer lease of palltjeiU'llfo, in Washington. Minister 'Wu has endeared himself to the people of this country In n manner that surely can never be equalled by any other-diplomat from the Orient or elsewhere. Perhaps he has poked fun nt us In some of his clever speeches, but If he has It was done with such Infinite grace and tact and the speeches were bo very cever that we are willing to hear a great deal nioro of, )e same kind, Ho has Mattred us so deftjy by hls'enthuslasni n earning Jo do everything-w'c do, ho hug been sq politic In dealing with the most, delicate matters - jtjie moat critical times and hns shown such charming breeding In his social relations with our people that It la not surprising we should witness his departure with regret. Minister Wu, more than any other man, hns given us nn ppportunlly to change our extremely Insular views nntl to realize that our Ideas of civilization may bo a trifle one-sided. In many re spects wc are a very provincial people, nnil nre npt to bo a little contemptu ous regarding something not Ameri can tind particularly that which Is Asiatic. If .Minister Wu Is what we In our narrow outlook have been taught to call it heathen, he Is a very delight ful heathen and wo prefer lilm to most of the others we have known. It seems Impossible for the press re porters to again stir either Mont Pclec or George Fred Williams to activity. It Will Not Down. DyRINO lOOt the two German truniAtlantlc steamship lines having terminals In New York landed on our shores 22.1,831 passengers; the four Kngllsh lines a total of 1M.411; tho French line, 4.1,210; and the three Anferlcan-owncd "American" lines, a total of only G7.S19. The United States must win Its proper place In the world's ocean carrying trade. Of the 110 vessels taken over by the American ship combine, only two were built In the United States, and only four will fly the American flag. Even with this vast lleet the combine has only taken away a little less than 4 per cent, of Brltnln's shipping. Is it not derogatory to our admitted pre-eminence In so many other lines that American capital should bo used to keep 110 vessels afloat on the ocean fly ing foreign flags? As our friend, Walter J. Ballard, well remarks: "If we had an ocean-going merchant steamship fleet of our own we could rapidly and largely improve on the following poor record for 1002 fiscal year of exportation of manufac tures to the world divisions named: South America $27,000,000 Asia 33,700,000 Afiira in,MW,oW Oceania 23,000,000 Our miserable total for nil the foreign world $100,200,000 ouslilc of Europe and North America." The ship subsidy proposition cannot be kept down. The fact that there have been twenty two legal executions In Mississippi during the past year shows that the jury system must be gaining ground in lynch-land after all. The Kansas View. HERE Is William Allen White's characteristic epitome, in the September issue of JIc Clure's magazine, of the president's Cuban policy: "We have, put the man we found bleeding on the Jericho road on our own beast; we have taken him to an inn. We have even departed, giving the host twopence to take care of our un fortunate neighbor. And now there are two parties in the land debating as to our further duty In the matter. "One party, the party led by the president, says in effect: Let us see it that poor neighbor of ours Is getting along all right down at the Inn; out of our bounty maybe we may help him In his convalescence; we won't feel the loss, and the poor fellow needs a little help right now pretty badly. "The other crfivd says In effect: Isn't it getting about time to quit throwing good money after bad; tell that sore-eyed, spavined human ham burger down there at the tavern wo want him to get up and run us a foot race, carrying 10S per cent, tariff handicap, and If he can't do that why he can go to the devil and shut tho door after him till we get time to come down there to foreclose the mortgage on his mangoy hide for that twopence hotel bill we spent on liim." Though Mr. White lives In Kansas, one of tho stiongholds of the sugar beet, he entertains no doubt as to which policy Is going to win To his notion President Roosevelt already has the bucking insurgents whipped to a stand still. There scorns to be no diminution of the number of men not Interested who know just how the coal strike should be settled. Household Service. THE average pay of a woman household servant in the United States probably Is nut less than JluO a year and board. In the case of good servants of long service the pay rises higher and Includes In addition to tho money fee various gifts and often uiuny social privileges not common In foreign coun tries. This pay Is willingly given for good service and If thete were more good servants the pay would no doubt Increase. Hardly any well to do mis tress of a home would let, the matter of a few dollars additional a month stand between her and relief from the worries arising from Incompetence umong houscuuiids. It Is interesting by way of contrast to know how servants aro paid In Greut Britain for similar work. Statls tics covering London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, tho British titles paying- the highest wages and In which servants are In tho greatest de mand, have recently been embodied In nn ofllclul report. These statistics re late to women known as ordinary and do not, of course, Include French cooks, French madls or other "urtlsts" with high profisslonal repututlon. Here are the figures of yearly earnings; Man- Scotland. London. Chester General liousework.W3.0u t 75.00 J7I.W Cook 102.00 House maids ..... Sti.rjO Purlor mutUs 08. o) Nurxea 00.00 Ladles' muliltf .... 110.00 Kitchen mulils .,, 72.00 Nurse and Mud., 00.00 I.uujulii'fu ,,, 07.00 rtoughly sneaking, It 100.00 S1.00 10000 !C00 01.0a 75 50 101.00 will be 100.00 1 M,C0 100.00 tr.oo 107.00 71.M 70.10 9U50 Been that the British Is ubmit half tho American pay for similar service. One does not like to say ,thut unythlns British Is sunetlor to anything Amer ican; but there seems to he little ground to deny that upon the whole the household service In Englund Is better than In America. Tho explanation for this superiority is not to ho found In any marked difference In tho natural aptitudes of the two classes of servi tors; Indeed, such difference as there Is In this respect Is probably to tho credit of tho Americans. It enn be traced al most wholly to the fact that In the circles from which household servants arc received In Great Brltnln there Is no general feeling of rebellion ngalnst performing such service and the fact of performing It does not operate among young women as n handicap In their opportunities to marry. Whether In 'this country conditions will ever nrlse to enable a woman bread winner to enter as cheerfully Into household service oh to clerk at often smaller pay In a store or work In some unfemlnlno factory cannot bo foretold. Tho probabilities appear to bo against It, although every year Increases the demand for good servants and ought, therefore, to Increase the respect In which they are held and to augument the Incentive to tho adoption of such pursuits by women seeking self support. Hut It niUKt be counted as one of the peculiarities of social life In the United Stntes thnt this very Important Held of labor, In spite of Increasing pay, falls to attract Increasing skill while In Europe with small pay good servants aro a drug on tho market. The recent torpedo practice at Ad Ington Grove shows that tho men be hind the gyroscope still know how to ako aim. LITERARY NOTES. Some time ago, In nn Interview with the icprcsontutlvc of a well-known Lon don paper, Jules Verne expressed the opinion that In tho course of fifty or a hundred years novels will have disap peared. "They are not necessary," said he; "and even now their merit and their Interest are fast declining." According to M. Verne, tho De Maupasunts who will delight the world in the years to come will bo writing for the newspapers and they will crystallize tho psychology of the world In which they live In their descriptions of day-to-day events. In tho September number of tho North Ameri can Review, five American writers James Lane Allen, William D. llowells, Hamlin Garland, Hamilton W. Mablo and John ICendrlek Bangs unite In contro verting JI. Verne's theory. Mr. Allen lays emphasis on the fuct that similar prophecies have often been made before, and have been proved fal'C by the event. Mr. llowells and Mr. Muble ' malntnln that, as llctlon never had a knowablo be ginning, it will never have a knowable end. Mr. Garland finds the only danger ous rival of the novel, not In the news paper, but In tho drama. Mr. Bangs treats the question in characteristically humorous fashion. Three series of articles of special Inter est, both because of their authorship and their Mibjects, arc announced to appear In The Outlook. One Is "The American Navy," by ex-Secretary John D. Long, who is better equipped than any other Hying man to tell thoMnnor history of the plans which made our navy capable of distinguishing Itself In tho war with Spain and. of the plans now under way for the extension and strengthening of that riuvy; a second deals with race and Industrial questions In the South, and Is written by Walter Page, whose editorship of Tho Forum, of tho Atlantic Monthly and of tho World's Work has made him known as one of the ablest thinkers and writers about current topics in the coun try; the third Is a fceries relating to con ditions in the South American republics, bused on extensive travel through those countries, undertaken for this express ob icct, by Archibald R. Colquhoun, whoso book', "The Mastery of the Pacltlc" and "China in Transformation," have been re cognized by nil students of International affairs as of great moment. A MAGNANIMOUS MONOPOLY. From Hniper's Weekly. The truly magnanimous action of the very prosperous Pullman monopoly in adding twenty-live cents a day to tho wages of its conductois is, of course, commendable. Tho conductors aru a hard-woiklng lot, and need all they can get for their wives and children; they are also doubtless underpaid. Tho icason ascribed by tho company, however, In spires reflection, Jt seems that the por ters get so much moic out of tho travel ing public In tho form of tips than the conductores iccelve as wages that tno management felt that a step towards equalization was In older. Another way would have been to prohibit tlp-sceklng and tip-taking, and to fix both conduc tors' and porters' wages accordingly. But this method did not occur to the com pany, whose lawful prey Is tho public, which Is expected to and does pay twice for a sIiikIq sen ice. No monopoly in tho 1 country practices imposition so thorough ly as me i'uimuui. jib ciiuiklh hio uui lugcously high, Its old-fashioned berth system wholly antiquated, and Its tip necessities a perpetual annoyance. Tlmo was when 11 porter was batlslled with a quarter from each porton on a trip; now ho beholds It with pitying scotn. A half dollar is viewed with nmused tolerance, a dollar (In advanco) securo tho sorvlco aheady doubly bought fiom tho company, whllo a five-dollar note from a John W. Cate.s wins undivided attention, to tho ex clusion of tho small fry. It Is easier to pay than to suffer, nnd most people pay, while the company waxclh fat upon two dollar receipts for one-dollar accommo dations, with porteis' wages added. Those, who travel In at.ito-rooms can affoid and are willing to pay handsomely; for them wo do not speak. But a pciHou willing to sleep on a shelf In a stilling atmosphere ought to havo tho privilege of doing so for 0110 slnglo dollar bill, with no extras beyond tho traditional quarter and oven that, as a. matter of right, should be elim inated .j. 4. f.
