In accordance with resolution adopted at

THE Chicago Inter-O Ocean expresses the
opinion that the appropriation Of hun
dred millions of dollars for the paymen {
of pensions, and seventeen millions for
the improvement of rivers and harbOrs,
will make the passage of the bill to re-
duce internal revenue taxation imprac-
ticable and dangerous. The estimated
revenues of the government for the next
fiscal year, have almost been absorbed
by the appropriations made by Congress
which are larger this session than they
have been any year since the war, and
no one knows what the revenues are 60
ing to be. The statisticians of the
Treasury are of course able to arrive at
an approximation by system of calcu-
latiOns, but it is all based upon proba-
bilities and presumptions, and it would
be the most absurd folly to appropriate
money upon expectation alone. The bill
providing for a reduction of taxation
will reduce the revenue about $45, OOO,-
600, and that amount cannot be spared.

SPEAKING of the speech of HOrr. of
Michigan. the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat says: Ellis speech, Thursday, is said
to have been the clearest and most con-
vincing demonstration of the value and
necessity of!levees ever made in Congress.
1t is not, however, to that portion of his
speech that we desire to refer so much
as to the grand patriotism it breaths
throughout, patriotism that must meet
with warm applause in all our hearts.
1t contained sentiments that we all can
approve; that we all applaud. They came
from Stalwart Republican, leader on
the Republican side in the House, rep
resentative from State that will be
wholly unaffected by the improvement
of the Mississippi"

THE London Times in leading article
on the progress of America says if there
were no direct evidence forthcoming of
the reality and rapidity of material pro-
gress in the United States, it would be
found in the singular absence of excite
ment in American politics. What is es-
pecialy remarkable In the present de-
velopment of American energy aud sue
cess is its wide and equal distribution.
The REIMBURSEMENT Of Federal represent
tation bears testimony to the political
capacity of the people, and affords good
ground for the hope that the future of
the negro may be rescued from the mis-
chievOns interference of professional
philanthropists and self-seeking dema-
gOgues.

The COW population of the United
States is l2,611,148, or about one cow to
every four people. This includes only
milch COWS. These cows are estimated
to be worth 1928, 746,646, and the average
value of the animals is about $27. There
are some curious features about the cow
census. For example, the wide varience
of value among the several states. In
New York and New England the average
value of mich cows is given from $50
to $32; in the Middle States and the North
west from $25 to $50, while in the South
the estimate is placed as low as $12 per
head in Florida, and runs up to $26 in
Kentucky, the average for the Southern
States being about SIG, There are com.
paratively few cows In the South. The
State of Louisiana has only $4,000, for
example, while Iowa, with population
about the same reports $4,000.
