The Philadelphia Inquirer refers to n reported Incident, said to have oc curred In Windsor, Canada : "The incident reported to have taken place at Windsor, Canada, on Friday, shows an extreme sensitive ness on the part ot the Canadians which does not augur well for the Htrength of the Canadian party which is ioyai to ureal Kritiun. it appears tliat during the Grand Army meeting at Detroit a number of the members of the society were quartered across the border line In Canada by tho Detroit committee on arrangements.

They tele graphed to the proper government olllclal, asking that the people of Windsor ho ordered to remove tho decorations and United States Hags from their houses. The foolish Minis ter sent the order as requested and tho Eisex County Fusiliers were ordered out to euforco the order. The only importaut consequence of the order was that the members of tho Grand Army who were billeted in Windsor crossed over to tho American side and money which otherwise would have been spent in Canada was distributed among citizens of the United States. "The people of this country who are accustomed to run up the Hags of Great Britain, and, for that matter, the Hags of all couutrles, out of courtesy to foreign visitors, will, of course, only laugh at tho ludicrous exhibition of loyalty to Great Britain and Jealousy of the United States displayed by tho Canadian Minister. But there Is one serious aspect to the exhibition. It shows how afraid "loyal" Canadians are of giving any chance for tho en couragement of Canadian sympathy with tho United States." Bkforb the Presidential campaign Is fully started the Democrats will want to let drop all reference to the McKinley tariff bill. By that time those who have been lead to believe that the tariff would be an Injury to this country will know nil about It, and the friends of tho tariff will not need to waste any breath In trying to convince them, either.

Cuxe has, however, shown that itis possiblo to make tsx-paying a dividond-paying procedure and tho manner in which th s heretofore impossible feat Is performed will ehallengo tho admiration of tho world of finance and the still larger world of tax payers. Tho court last week decided that Coxe liros. & Co. were entitled to work out their taxes the same as tho ordinary citizen and the supervisor accordingly gavo p emission to the company to start work. Coxo llros. & Co. have placed h party of men at work. They are nearly all new ar rivaK Thoy aro paid 00 cents a dny. Thi n the township is charged four cents f r the use of each tool used by tho men. As ihe rate allowed a day to a laborer working ut his taxes is 1.35 per day it will bo seen that Coxe Bros. & Co. are in about 41 cents which will amount to considerable whin in number of mon is taken into account. The lawmakers of thisslato novor intondoJ. Unit taxes should be paid by slavo labor. Coxe Hnb. & Co. are, of curse, tho latgost t ix payors in tho township, but is is ox tretnely difllcultto soo wherein they justify themselves in asking $1.35 a day for tho labor of a man to whom they only pay 00 ills a day, but as employers havo a roa- son for every solflsh act on tholr own pare while ever ready to accuso tho working- mrn of soeking to rob them, so Mr, Coxo will find some justification.
