My last letter, I believe, ended with some comment iivou the gov ernment of F.nglaud. One thing that interests foreigners iu f his con uecliou ia how the government maintaiua itself iu a free trade country without iuipoiug exces sive property taxes, lie it remem bered, then, that Fnglaud is uot w ithout tariff taxes, but there are few of these and nearly all these few are levied on luxuries or semi luxuries. Hciueuibet ing how uot a hie a part the tea tax played iuour early Itevoliitionary histoiy iu America, it is of interest to see that within her own borders F.ug laud has maintained this heavy tar ill' until now, the government col lecta 10,0110, Otto to 'iO,(MHl,00(t a year from this source alone, and nearly ;."i,IMMj,imjO a year from the tariff on tolntcco aud snuff. The rxcise or whiskey taxes bring in rl.V,0H),OOfayear more, and there are also special income and inher tauce taxes, and taxes uon the gross earnings of railways, except where the rate is less thau '1 cents a mile. The inheritance tax, it will be recalled, is me which President Itonsevelt has recently commended to the attuutiouof Americans. ( ver here au estate exceediug .Vmi iu value pays a government tux of 1 ver cent; '.,,."rlMI, ' jht cent; IKIO, a tier cent; "(l.tHM), 4 tier cent; aud so 011 up to f.'iOO.oiMl, which pays ti per cent., aud ooo.noo, which pays S jier emit. I here are also sk-ciu! gi initialed taxes in case property goes to per sons not near of kin, amounting to 10 per cent where the propcity goes to jktsoiis very far reuiovc-d in kinship or not of blood relation- hip at all. 1 here are also special stump taxes of many kinds, and sjieciul Boer war taxes now (simi lar to our Spanish American war taxes) which require stamps 011 checks aud upon all receipted bills. There is a considerable party here which favors the establishment of protective tariff, this sentiment gaining strength in part from the unfair methods of American mo- nonolit-M eoniiietilnr for Itiitixh trade. Socialism hits also U-cn making marked growth among the working classes for a manlier ol years past. I Just at this writing, however, the livest political issue is woman suf frage. For a long lime the women of Kngland who are tax payers here hud the privilege of voting lor city and county officers, ami they are now lighting earnestly lor Hie priv- lege of voting formeinlK'i'sol Par liament that is to say. for mem bers of the British Congress, as well as for local ami State offices. 1 11 ft number of cases the woman suffrage advocates have grown so riotous in their meetings as to make it neces sary for U10 ponce to liuoricre. hen indicted, however, Hie wom en agitators refuse to pay the lines uiisised, going to tall instead ami then they make a great ado about being "martyrs" to the cause of equal suffrage. If the woni-iii suf frage itlea prevails, the privilege 01 voting will be giveu, of course, only to women who are tax payers rate payers ' they are caiieti here) or householders (that is, w id- . . . t . e owa or others who are iieitus 01 houses). f Another very live subject is the temperance question. All pailsol Great Britain, and especially Scot land, are ruiu cursed, the most powerful tenim-rance argument I have ever witnessed was in Chester depot the other day when an old tray haired womau was attacked Uitb by her husiKtini ami tier own half-drunken sou. I he oincers in terfered and drove off the men, while the weeping woman soblied piteonsly iu brokeu Iiiicasliiredia lect: "They makes ti pounds (.'10) a week, but never a farthing (half cent) do they give me: it all goes for drink, drink." Whiskey, as 1 have intimated, ia especially the bane of Scotland and many leur that it is almost hopelessly sapping the strength of 0110 of the finest races of people iu the world. But the Scottish Temperance league and other organizations are making a brave light against the evil, and here in London yesterday I saw a temperance procession "terrible as an armv with banners," a mile aud a hall long, marching into Hyde Park where the immense audience (made up chietlyof working jh-o-ple) was addrr-saed from eight dif ferent stands by a great variety of siieakers. For nearly two hours the thousands of spectators listened ami cheered and laughed, ending by adopting vigorous resolutions in behalf of the "iioeusing bill" which Parliament is now beginning to consider. In explanation of this licensing bill a word or two should be said. In Kngland saloons are called "public honsea," and their managers "publicans." W'ell.many years ago licenses to conduct "pub lio houses" were granted rather promiscuously, and it has been the custom of the authorities to renew these licenses from year to year without further Inquiry. Now, how ever, it is proposed to limit the number of salooua and the provis tins phase of the liquor problem is the growth or tnteuieraiice among women, esircially among working girls. Diiuking is said to be sta tiouary (or iMMtihly actually de creasing 1 among the masses of Kug lish men, but increasing among KiiL-lish women and among the wealthy and leisure class of Isith sexes. A friend of mine spoke to me of seeing a great number of ap pare ntly resH-ctabIe womeii drink ing iu the saloons in Chester a few nights ago, and in Glasgow women are often seen reeling from saloou doors. It is high time that Lug land weie doing something to save herself, and the great temperance procession in Hyde Park yesterday- was one of the most encouraging (lungs I have s-eu over here. I was also gratified to find the recent record of the Coiled States held up as au example aud incentive for KiiL'lish action. Iu all eases the arguments for and against the li censing bill are strikingly like the arguments for and against State prohibition iu our Southern States with which we are all so familiar. There is the same specious npeal to "the tHMir man," arguing that the hill will leave it easy for the rich to get liquor but make it hard for the poor man; and the same cry of "conlisratioii" liecause the gov ernment would refuse toconMuue some licenses. But a big bodied, keen wilted Irish cabman whom I heard address the Hyde Park meet ing yc-ferday answered Isith these arguments, ami made an tsiecial appeal to working men and wom en, his hearers, in the tlcclurution that when you buy a farm product :0 per cent of the purchase money goes lor lulsir; clot mug, -.1 per cent; iron and steel goods, '.'.'I per cent; coal, Im per cent; while ol uch one tin nil red pounds (or dol I a is ) worth of w hihkey Isiught, only Iter rent goes to latsir. Today the House of Commons takes up the licensing bill and :io days w ill lie devoted to its discus sion. the whiskey luteresis will make a despcrat-n anil conscience less struggle, ami already there is tii4.Mii. ", rf ll.a triitt, . .1 Ijord Koscmiry a declaration nun "if the State litres not soon control the whiskey traffic, the whiskey traffic w ill control the State." Ami Kngland is going to control the traffic. Oilier notable political measures now up for discussion anil action in Lngland Hie the Kdiication net and I he Old Age Pensions measure. The hill for old age pensions has already passed the House of Com mons and it is not believed that the House, of Louis will dare turn it down. The bill iu its present shape provides that the government shall pay to all persons over sixty years of uge the sum of live shillings (tl.'.'O) a week unless such persons have an income of over ten shil lings (f2.l) a week from other sources. In such cafes the govern inent jiension will be only enough to innke a total of fifteen shillings, orfl iiO. The Kdiication uct now under consideration is for the pur pose of relieving the present dis content among mm Episcopalians who are kicking from one end ol Kngland to the other against the control of many of the public schools by the Kpiscopal clergy. And while (tivcakiiig of schools, let me mention education us the great source of Knglish and Scotch greatness. It has long Ivcen a suy iuir that "education has made Scot land," and the support that Scotch Presbyterians have given the cause of education in America is a mat ter in which they will take pride. I'.ven the cabmen here lead the newspapers almost as carefully as business men iu America would do, And I have Wii impressed by the uiimtier of monuments winch re cord the dead man's services to public education as his strongest claim upon the regard ol posterity, Over in the old tow n of Stirling in Scotland I recall how a tablet in Greyfriars Church records the fact that "Alexander Ciiiiingliam, mer chant in Stirling, to extend the iu estimable blessings of education, bequeathed A. 1). 1S0!, C4,mm (f.MI.OOO) to be expended in main tabling, clothing, and educating poor boys ' there, while another uie mortal alongside ts "to Hie meiii orv of John Allen, writer in Htirl Iiilt. luorttniL'ine A. i. ii me sum of .10,000 marks by which htm dreds of young men have been able to advance themselves and to till situations in life which their lot seemed to forbid." In Liverpool, too, you find the same idea in the striking monuments to James Mi gent bearing the legend, "Save -the boy." while thesignilicaut luscrip tion ou the monument to Major Lester reads: "Give the child a fair ehanoe." Democratic Kngland to day understands full well that "Prinees and lords may flourish or may fade: A breath can make them, as S breath haa made: But a bold peasantry, their country's oride. When once destroyed, can never be sup plied.

I bear no ill asleep. He crept close to the side w ill toward our iiegrts-s, but it is luiHssitile to escajie the conclusion that their ignorance ami shiftless nesw have not only held Kick the South iu a thousand w ays, but their carelessness has provided a l.'wer level for indifferent white co to fall to. Nowhere else uo you liud w hite reople content to live iu such ugly homes and w ith such un promising farms as often meet our vision in the South, mid I think il partially explained by the fact that the negro taken fresh from Africa has lowered our ideals and stand aids of living in a way uo other country has suffered. Another way in which the dif fcreiice lietween intelligent white lalsir and shiftless negro IuIku makes itself frit is in the different iHitudc toward work itself, i'eo pie here in Kngland do not seem to regard any wink that conies to hand as being "Is'iieath them." Over in l.ea'iiingtou the other day the man who joined his w ife in w aiting on our table, and who brought the water to my loom, was a man ol such intelligence that I should gUcsa him to Is' a minister: a man with the Iiearing of a gentleman and a man whose wide knowledge of politics and history made it a pleasure to talk with him. It was much the same way in Glasgow, so that at sight of the head men ol the house removing plates from the table, one of our party well re marked: "In K:;gluud everylsaly works, including lather." Most of the smaller hotels seem to he run by women; women work largely in the fields, and iu the sioren' women, i in-i.c,., t.o. more numerous than in America. I'hc women lire less beautiful than n the South, but have line, rosy 'omplexious and healthy bodies. I'he young girls seem to lie slower il "coining out, wear childish 'lollies at a later age, and I have seen a number of girls eighteen or went)' years old wearing their hair n plaits, One hideous custom among Knglish women of the more airless sort is that ol cigarette looking. Among men generally, on the other hand, I should s:t that there is not one third so much smoking as among American men. The "soft di ink" habit is not found here at all, and 1 haven't seen a drug store soda w ater fountain since lelt America. And while I am giving this run ning sketch of miscellaneous mat te is, I must not fail to say a word alsiiit the Knglish railways which are in many respects radically dif ferent from those in America. For one thing uie cars nre not open cngthwise, but on the side, and all the people in a car do not ride to gether, but in compuitmciits or di visions, each of which Beats six or eight persons. There are hrst, sec out! and third class rates, third class rales lieing, I believe, less than two cents a mile, and act-omiiiodulions better than on first class ears in the Southern States. The trains are tnacticallv never behind time. But of all differences in favor of the Knglish system that which most impresses me is the lact mat no railroad here can run its track on a level across a public road. I'su ally the road is built up on either side, a bridge built nnd the rail road track runs underneath. I his is one reason, no doubt, w hy acci dents aiv so much rarer on Knglish than on American roads. To the famous tow n, castles, bat tlefields and other historic spots I have visited in Scotland and Kng land a separate and special article must Ivc given, and theso will be considered in our next letter. Iimlon, Kngland, July SO, 100S. For Sore Feet.

In a few moments the w ife aud two little children stood in the presence of death, the little ones tugging at the mother's apron w hile the parent screamed hysteri cal I v. and lour little uneasy eyes shifted and sevined to untie istatid it all. This afternoon young Culbreath was under the influence of liquor, but not drunk, its circumstances shew. He went to his home on Newton street about 4:.I0 o'clock while the niemlH-rs of his household were away. Going into the sitting room of the house he pulled off his top shirt and sut across the bed with a.:tJ calibre pistol in his right hand. He took delils'iate aim at his heart and pulled the trigger. Neighbors heard the report of the gun and told his wife, who was in a nearby store. She ran to the house and searched every room where she would likely find her husband, but going into the sitting room there lay her husband dead with an ugly wound just alnive the left nipple on direct line with the heart and In side the man lay the pistol which had ushered him into eternity.

Kvidently he had a hard time to keep the wolf from the door as his wife in answer to a ques tion about her financial condition, said, "We haven't anything ex cept a little household and kitchen furniture." Judging from apear anees the wife anil children have felt the effects of a drinking and downcast husband. Whiskey, cou pled with the remorse of conscience in not being able to furnish the necessaries of life for his family, no doubt is responsible for the deed. Culbreath was rather an in telligent looking fellow. It is learn ed on the streets tonight that he was a follower of Ingersoll's teach ings.
