It will be remembered tbai Charles Black of Jersey City, the Democratic candidate for governor 1UM. made bis campaign with “equal taxation" as his 'Slogan. When Ur. Black was defeated by Edward C Stokes the reformers of Hudson county. beaded by George L Record and Mark Fagan, took up the same Issue.

ty'a real Ides of equal taxation wi secure for Its own usee the Uxee I the vast amount of railroad property within Its borders. Tbs main, stem of the railroads has always been taxqd for state school purposes, but Hudson county wanted a scheme of local taxation applied to this property, which would of course bare turned the revenue from this source Into the local treasury. The railroads themselves favored the local plan, but Governor Stokes and the legislature last winter were firm In their demand to keep the revenue from the main stem for the benefit of the schools, and new laws wars passed with that end In view. Second class railroad property, bow ever. Is now taxed locally. There Is a great amount of this property In End eon county, and the Hudson county asaeeaora have raised the valuations this year to doable what they were last year. On the other hand, the railroads claim that the aaeaesmonta on private property have been increased only to a nominal extent and not Increased at all on personal property. The railroads have therefore appealed to the state board for the equalisation of taxes for a reassessment of all the property In Hudson county, that of Indlriduals d this brings

Ida a comic opera war. It baa been noted by vUltors to tbe camps of the contending armies that little bitterness exist-At-rntph zatar cd between tbe soldlen of tbe o|ij>oslng aides. Many of the warriors In Palma's army joined tbe loyal forces because of tbe good pay offered—$2.30 a day. Many of the rebels took to the woods because they liked adventure and preferred a life of eeae. with Just enough fighting to l rank the monotony, to an existeuce In which tbe principal factor was bound toll. Under these circumstance* tbe Cohan regulars and the rebel bands hare not always been at eager to meet.In mortal combat as would be expected In a war where the opposing force* chert*bed toward each other feelings of bitter animosity. On several occasion* It has been noted by ohaervant corre<i>ondent* that government officers M-r,: out to look for Insurgent bauds were very stupid about dl» covering them, and, on the other hand the Insurgents from time to time had opportunities to capture detachments of govcrnairut soldier*, hut neglected to seize them. Since the landing of kleean. Taft and Baron In Cuba many stories ol outrages by Insurgents and of lark ot discipline lu the canip* of the relieii have come to light. In their lertea .upon plantation* the rebel bands are said to have maltreated many peaceable In habitants lu mldltlon to taking tbeli animal* and farm products for filling the stomachs, of tbe hungry warrior* ■gainst tbe government. The ' ‘ Of violation of the code of civilised warfare recall the story of bow Brigadier General Fred Fan*ton. who wst recently ordered to join Secretary Taft In Cuba, came to leave the Cuban! when be was fighting with them against the Spaniards In 1807. At th* fight at Laa Tnnaa he commanded ( battery of artillery which Included a dynamite gun. Tbs engagement ended In the defeat of the Spaniards. Ac-

It must refiect what really ts, and suggest from experience what might be. A great class turns to the woman's page for council, for advice, (or suggestion. The ready made conventions of one set of people would be a misfit on another sot, so why tall a woman who has to cook and wash for a husband and six children bow to Instruct a footman to receive the cards of callers? r A woman's page should be all things to all women.
