GEN. MILES

DUTY.
OF
N. Y. Sun: For me .mysterious
reason a letter written by j-Oeni Nel
' eon Ai. Utiles, last January t;-Mr. Geo.
F Washburn -of Boston tiel bren giv
en to the publlc-ifl-rn otit 'for publl-
a lion not at V.otUm. but at Wajthinaj
ton. In thin letter Oen. Miles jaj'S:
. "I have not been a.il am not now a
srpker for President ia honors. T My
ambition has' ever been.to ifalthfully
-Sftverimy; eodntry in' Whatever jihei
duty may have yik-ta-ted. and :tht will
l)-my role t-urbe Jn the future."
We are not . ware that there was
either In January or In February, or
that there is now tni March, any esre
rial occifiin for a j.ublic definition by
Gen. Miles f his vies on duty and
ambition. Nor has j the vapprehension
that Gen. Allies mny decide to run for
President, become so general as to call
for any pelric statement from im.
Indeed, if Gen. ijVI lies should see ht
t declare himself an active candhlate
for noninaJon by one party or anoth
er in 1901. It is not likely that "anybody
woul'J arUe to object." or that a, pro
found piiiitlcrfK situation would result
from the announcement. J
In vlevr of these ; undoubted I facts,
the apparent care which the Lieuten-
Iadles of high social position In the
four cities of New York,; Philadelphia,
Boston and Chlcaso. says -the San
Francisco" Bulletin, have commenced a
systematic agitation for the repeal of
the law taxing" the pCrsomt clothing of
Americans returnisg frpm Europe. Re
publicans who bear In mind the effec
tive electioneering of ladies to secu.re
the repeal of the tin plate clause in the
Mckinley tar Iff admit the force of this
movement! The anti-tin-plate y tax agf-
men, while: the agitation against the
personal baggage tax comes from so
cial leaders, but the Inspiring influence
Is the lime in both cases. The wives
and daughters of working-men objected
to the increased, cost of tinware, and
the social leaders object, to the Increas
ed costof their clohes.. The McKlnley
law taxing foreign tin plate has been
Justified bysresults. It transferred the
tin plate. Industry from Wales to the
tJnited. States," buVhe women brought
about the repeal orXh'e law bef orarjt
iiad effected' Ks avoweapurpee,,
There is one point of difference be
tween the two agrta Hons set In Wtioii
by women, ; The Increase in the cost of
tinware reached every household inHhe
country, while the tax on the personal
clothipg of -women only effects. women
who occasionally go to Europe an i of
these, only those vi no can"buy' lirsely
at reducied prices their costly clothing
In European cities. It Is not supposed
that ladies who never expect to ""do"
Europe will 'take a very; lively Interest
in the' 'uia's of those who regard the
EurojK an tt ip as an annual diversion
It Is . of little use to tell thee: social
leaders of the tax burden -that ' indies
bear w ho buy imported goods In! the
home market, s These sotHal , leaders
have made up their rnlnds that the tax
Is unjustt, and they propse to agitate

althougn the dominant cultured clasf

The remainder have no education,- no
wealth, and ?.re controlled economically
ty the upper class. Fpr two ypars, be
said, this latter class and" the Ameri
cans labored under a great misappre
hension of -each other, but there was
an understanding now. He agreed
h 1th Governor Taft that small garrisons
quartered in the midst of ths Filipinos
rendered the life of the town and acted
as an irritation to the natives. ; The
fpper class, he suid, possessed sui in
fluence over the : lower class that the
United States authorities bad, been alow
to appnKriatr. - -;
Among this lower class, Mr. Barrows
fcld, thre is a strong de4re for social
betterment as evidenced by the sending
of the. children to school. . u

Hale he described the' masses as being
