IS NEW YORK OOISU POP?
The New York legislature. almiwt
solidly republican, is doing some
queer things. It is bearing down
hard on wealth. The republican
party, as far as New York goes, can
no longer be
party."
Ohio, some years ago, created an
••inheritance tax." New York fol
lowed, but made its tax much smaller
The Standard Oil magnates are liv-
ing in New York instead of Cleveland
because of inquisitoral assessors and
courts. A rich man can be hauled up
in Ohio and compelled to testify in
public, under oath, concerning his in-
come, the revenues of his estates, the
Tallies of his several invef tinents, and,
if his testimony is not satisfactory and
does not agree with bis returns to the
assessor, experts can be summoned to
convict hiin of perjury. There are a
number of rich men in Washington
who removed from Ohio because of
such statutes, but New Yo/k is getting
w rae, and the millionaires are pro-
pairing to evacuate. Oeorge

Bhore and the New Jersey highland*.
If what is known as the inheritance
law, now before the governor for his
yeto or approval, Is signed, the exo-
dus will be general and rapid.
This law requires that in addition to
the existing tax of 5 per cent upon
the appraised value of all inheritances,
there shall be a graduated tax of one
per cent upon each $2.10,000 in excess
of $500,000, until the sum of $3,000,-
000 is reached, when there shall be a
fixed tax of 15 per cent. In other
words, a m in who inherits $1,000,000
from his rich uncle, or any one else,
must give 7 per cent of it, or $70,000,
ti the state. If it Is $2,000,000, he
must give 11 Der cent, or $220,000, and
so on. If it is $3,000,000, he must sur-
render $450,000; if $10,000,000, $1,500,-
000.
At present the inheritance tax is 5
per cent, and even that has been con-
sidered too iarge, for in some places it
has been assessed upon the nominal or
expressed value of the legacy and not
upon Its market or actual value. For
example, a man In his will bequeaths
an annuity for life to a friend or faith
ful servant on a fixed amount, so much
in bonds or other securities. The tax
is assessed and collected upon their
present value, while a slump in the
market tomorrow may make them
worthless.
In the case of Jay Gould, whose
estate was appraised at $70,000,000 for
taxation, and assessed $: ,500,000 under
the present inheritance law, the heirs
went into court and got a large reduc-
tion, because much of it was in non-
assessable securities. Several other
estates are now fighting the assessors
under the existing Inheritance law,
and expect to be relieved of a consid-
erable part of the assessment.
If Corneilus Vanderbilt should die.
his heirs would be assessed to pay
about $25,0t>0,000 under the proposed
law, and the heirs of Mr. Rockefeller
would be assessed more than $30,000,*
ooo—enough to pay the expenses of
the state for two years. The oppon-
ents of the law argue that its enact-
ment is unwise, because, if it is passed,
rich men will not die in New York,
but will remove into neighboring
states, which will profit thereby,
whereas under a reasonable law they
will reiLain. This inheritance tax
cannot be avoided by the gift of pro-
perty before death, as it applies to all
transfers of all real and personal pro-
perty for a nominal consideration.
Shawxkk Quill: Dennis Flynn ha
returned to his home in Outhrie and
will go into business, lie is not sour
ed, and expresses himself as entirely
friendly to the Barnes administration,
saying he will do all he can, as a
private citizen, to make it a successful
one, and to hariuoni/.e the party in
the territory. Mr. Flynn's business in
Washington, since the announcement
of the selection of Mr. Barnes for gov-
ernor, has been in the interest of his
friends and, whether successful or not
he deserves their thanks for his efforts
Gov kknok I'inoky is evidently not a
socialist ami Hoes not believe that
children shall be taken away from the

passed by the legislature on the
grounds that It was transfering the
care of them from the mother-, laps to
the municipal jaila.
Bdmond Suh-D*mocrat: Now that
the lion. Cassius M. Barnes has been
appointed governor, it is the duty of
nil citizens to extend to him a hearty
welcome, and loyally support him, to
the end that he may be able to give
this enterprising territory a just and
progressive administration.
Tin publiO lias dUeovered that while
the novelists have been trying to stir
its blood by stories ol the heroic re-
treats of the Greeks, the Cuban patr-
iots have been licking sheol out of the
Spaniards. It is to be hoped the public
will again fly to the aid of the insurg-
ents—with its "sentiment."
Wiikn ex-Governor Waite was elected
by woman suffrage, woman ouffrage
was good; since ex Governor Waite
was defeated by woman suffrage,
woman suffrage is bad. This Is the
average populist political philosophy.

^"OMEN used
to think
m a le diseases "
could only be
treated after "lo-
c a 1 examina-
tions" by physi-
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. Thein-
_ troduction of
Wine of Cardul h is now demon-
strated that nine-tenths of all tha
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure
Wine ui
taken In the privacy of a woman's
own home Insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardul re-
quires no humiliating examina-
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of "female troubles"—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
"whites," change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. $1.00 at
