THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL

The following is an account Of the loss
of the Emigrant ship N0rthEeet, which as
reported by telegram via New York, was
sunk by the Spanish Steam Ship MariLl0.
A collision took place on Wednesday
night the 23rd Of January about eleven
o'clock between a foreign steamer and the
emigrant ship Northfeet, OF London, about
two miles off Du~n2eness. The watch on
deck gave the alarm, and called the stea-
mer off, but before they could turn round
she was upon the emigrant ship, and cut
her to the waters edge. The Northfeet
had 412 passengers on board without the
crew and out of that number only eighty
five lives are known to be saved. The
steamer went off and left them to the mer-
cy of the waves. The N0rthfe was bound
to Australia, and the panic on board is
described as terrible. The screams OF the
women and children were heard for miles,
but the foreign steamer took no notice. A
child saved has lost father and mother.
The Board ofTrade offers a reward of 9l00
for the discovery of the name OF the stea-
mer.
When the collision occurred Captain
Knowles was on deck immediately and
acted with a calmness, promptitude, and
decision that will cover his memory with
honour. He Immediately ordered rockets
to be sent up and other signals of distress
to be made, and in the meantime directed
the boats to be launched, giving imperative
orders that the safety Of the women and
children should be first secured. There
was a disposition to set these orders at de-
fance, and on some of the crew crowding
to the davits with a view Of ef@fecting their
own safety he drew a revolver, and declar-

The order has grown with great ra-

Singularly enough the order has its
largest existence in South Carolina,
as far as the South is concerned. No
question of color has yet arisen and
it is believed that that matter is easi-

organized Oranges are found in Kan
sas, according to population, while
Iowa and Missouri give the largest

the Southern adhesions are from the
small plantation-holders, and appear
to be desirable acquisition.

Democratic Buncombe.

The New York World, the Nation
al organ Of the Democracy, In a re-
cent issue makes fool OF itself after
the following successful fashion:
Defalcations and embezzlements
are becoming so numerous among
the Radical officials in Iowa that
they are no longer telegraphed. A
Des Mofnes, fIa.} paper has the fol.
lowing list Of defanlters in one
issue:
"Jas. d. Eads, State Superintend-
ent of Schools, $l50,O00.
"Jas. A. Bryan, Treasurer Of jack
son county, 800, 600.
The Treasurer of Dubuque county,
$35 900.
"rhe Treasurer of Decatur county,
SI2 900"
The Hord either blunders wofully,
in the above, or else resorts to most
unblushing falsehood deliberately.
The Eads steal of 81 30 900 was i'm 1896,
i'm the Democratic days OF Iowa, and
Eeads was a Democrat OF the straight
est sect. The $4,000 Bryan steal was
unearthed in Jackson county about
two months ago. Jackson is one of
the three Democratic counties In Ia,
and Bryan was three times elect, q
by the Democrats. More than this,
the Democratic Board of Supervisors
have compounded the felony by
compromise, accepting less amount
Of money than was stolen, and al
lowing Bryan the opportunity OF re-
signing. The $35, 900 steal In Du-
buque county was also that of u Den-
ocratic Treasurer, and SO was the
$4,000 steal in Decatur county.
The fact Is, and the World knows
II, that while the Republican party
has been in power in Iowa over fl
teen years, and while 1t has had dr-
ring the same time control Of nine
tenths of the county governments,
the Republican delalcatioDs in the
State and County, all told, do not
equal in amount the total Of the
Democratic defalcations. If tho
W0rld's arithmetic man, whom it
keeps so conspicuousIy on dress pa
rade, can make anything out Of this
frosty fact In help of the Democratic
party, he had better be rattling his
figures together without loss of time.
The Iowa Democrats would like To
see them. They have figured their
party to death in Iowa in trying to
explain this very thing Register.

Double Taxation.

The Supreme Court OF California
has recently decided that the taxa.
tion Of mortgage or notes secured
by mortgage, or the money secured
thereby, and the taxation of the land
Is double taxation, and therefore un-
constitutional. In summing up, the
Court says:
I" / conclude, therefore, that a tax
on, loans made in the usual course of
business is paid by the borrower, and
If the debt be secured by mortgage
he also pays the tax on the mortgag-
ed property. He is twice taxed
once on the property and once on the
debt which the property represents.
and yet no new value has been Gre
ated by the transaction. He Is no
richer, and has no more property
than he had before; and If the mon
ey which he received from the lender
remained in his hands it is also tax
ed. If the money has pa ssd into
the possession Of another tax payer 1t
is taxed in his hands so that the
property and the money are each
separately taxed, and Ii the mere
promise or obligation Of the borrow
er to repay the money Is also taxed
and the tax paid by him, as il must
be, 1t Is clear that he has been twice
taxed on the same value or subject
matter. This is violation Of that
clause Of the Constitution which re-
4 a A n
uniform, and that property shall be
taxed in proportion to its value.
When the mortgaged property has
once paid its tax 1t has discharged
its full obligation to the State, and
the owner of 1t cannot and in jus.
tice ought not to be subjected 10
another tax, merely because he has
borrowed sum Of money for which
the property is pledged as a seou.

Democracy Endorse Back
Paw

ray
The Democratic Congressman held
their usual caucus on Saturday eve
ming before the meeting of Congress.
The object of the caucus was mainly
to nominate candidates for Speaker
of the House and for other official
places to be filled. This caucus is
somewhat in the nature of a State
convention. The delegates are the
Democratic Senators and Represent
atives. The acts and expressions of
this caucus are justly held to indicate
the views, wishes and policy Of the
party, and become part of the record
of the party-a sort of party plat
form. The Democratic organs and
orators have wasted a great deal OF
buncomb and false thunder in crying
out against the law passed by Con-
gress last Spring, increasing salaries
of President, Congressman, etc.
Now this high Democratic Conven-
tion spits in the face of the people
and the press and places the party
squarely upon the record as in favor
of the steal. This is the way 1t came
about:
Mr.. Hoffman, of Indiana, introdu-
ced resolution condemning the odi-
Gus back pay measure and all who
took the back-pay, and named s. S.
Cox, Of New York, as a candidate
upon this platform for Speaker. Mr..
Eldredge rose and denounced Hol-
man as demagogue and applied to
him bitter epithets Of personal
character. Mr.. Holman replied that
Eldredge was too much creature Of
the Board of Public Works to lecture
any one present. A general row was
imminent when Messrs. Holman Of
Indiana, Cox of New York, and
Neal, Southard, Saylor and Jewett
of Ohio, bolted and left the caucus.
Holman's resolution was uncere-
moniously tabled, and Fernando
Wood, of New York was nominated
for Speaker. When the Salary bill
was on its final passage and about to
fail, this Mr.. Wood arose and chang
ed his vote from negative to affirma-
tive. No action of the party repre-
sentatives could be more conclusive
than this. Let it be recorded that
the Democratic party in Congress is
in favor OF the increased and back
sMfary pfff. Anti this fs tfIe purity
which the Iowa Grangers have mar
ried. Much joy we wish them.
May the union be happy one.

who Gained the victoryf

The opposition party continues to
indulge in undue manifestations Of
joy over the recent elections in Iowa,
claiming it as wonderful victory.
There certainly is bot little cause for
this hilarious feeling. According to
the returns as canvassed by the State
Executive Board, which we publish
ed several days ago, it will be seen
in comparing them with the vote Of
last year, that the comparison will
afford but little comfort to our over
joyful Autobiography friends. In
the vote given for Secretary Of State
In 1872, Josiah 7. Young received
l32, ,359 votes; Guilbert, Liberal, a.
497 and Baker, straight Democrat,
| $3.50 votes, or rs 1927 as the total vote
given to the opposition. The entire
vote cast in the State was 20S,1S6.
At this years election 187 ,SI8 votes
were cast--l06,26 Republican, and
81, $40 Opposition, or 20,378 less num-
ber than were polled last year. 1t
will be seen from this showing that
the Opposition only cast 5,7l9 more
votes this year than last, while the
Republican falling off was 26,092-a
result due to apathy, and too gen
eral feeling that on account Of the
overpowering Republican majority in
the State their votes would not be
needed. At least 10000 Republicans
in Iowa stayed away from the polls
at the last election who can be relied
on rs giving that much strength to
the party whenever any issue of con-
sequence Is at stake. The real Re-
publican preponderance in the State
to-day, Is undoubtedly, not single
vote less than 10000.
But our opponents may say that
the above exhibit Is an unfair one,
since many Democrats remained
away from the polls this year on az
count of being dissatisfied with tie
Anti Monopoly ticket, and that the
swelling of their vote this year over
that Of last year Is owing to access
ions received from the Republican
ranks. But they must also remem-
Der this fact, that greater apathy
existed In the Democratic party last
year on account of Horace Greeley,
than this year on account OF Vale.
The truth is, much more interest
was manifested by that party in this
years election than any that has been
held in Iowa for years, and therefore,
II would reasonably be expected that
its vote would be correspondingly
Increased. - Cedar Rapids Republican.

The OttumWa Deasocrta wants war
with Spain at all hazards-wiil lis
ten with no patience to any theory
intended to avoid war. The proto-
col agreed upon by Secretary Fish
and Admiral Palo, it denounces as
hollow truce" 1t further says:
Whether the. empty forms of the
protocol be agreed to or entered upon
it will not materially change the dis
position of Americans toward Cuba.
The capture of the Virgiuius settled
the destiny of the Ever Faithful
ISLE and the crossing of the Florida
channel by Americans will go on
just the same as though Mr.. Fish
had not patched up a peace or made
a c0Ward's bargain"

country, so far as 1t has had the cour.
age TO take any position in reference
to The Cuban tronbles, has declared
for war. just why they want war
thsx 10 not tell US so definitely and
scafdg 1Ras they might. Their rea'
sons. are obvious however. The
South has always favored the acqui.
sition of southern territory, and es
pecially in the West Indies, for the
spread of Southern ideas and institu.
tions, the strengthening Of Southern
influence in Congress, etc. They
want war for the purpose OF annex
ing Cuba, and also for the purpose OF
increasing the public debt, and ma
king political capital in other ways
against the Republican party, upon
whom all the outgrowing evils OF
war would be charged. They have
heretofore delighted in calling Pres't.
Grant a military despot, and assuring
the people that he would make war
with any nation upon the slightest
pretext. Now they are disappointed
for they see that he is disposed to
avoid war If it can be done and yet
maintain the honor Of the nation.
He will not waste blood and treasure
to crafty his political enemies, and
of course they will hurl at him and
his Cabinet their widest anathemas.
He will be declared a military dicta-
tor and usurper il we have war, and
a coward If war is avoided.
