COLOSSAL fortunes arc often most won
derfully and suddenly swept away. Men
reach the millionaire summit, and it is
thought their mountain is too strong to be
shaken. The case Of tho suicide, Amasa
Stone, is i'll point. In business circles it
was always assumed that such men as he
and his associates could never be shaken or
hurt by any financial crash or disturbance
II was thought that he and they were too
sagacious TO make mistakes. Whatever
might happen, it was assumed that they
had fC7eseen and provided for. When the
Union lson Company of Chicago went I'M
der, the explanation was that such men as
Amasa Stone, who had a large interest in
it, had merely closed it up for time, and
would start it going, stronger than ever
Then Brown, Bonell q Co. Iron Manu-
facturers, of Youngstown, Ohio, went by
the board, and again it was assumed that
Amasa Stone and his associates, interested
III the company, were masters of the stu
alton, though confidence began to be weak
ened. But sagacious and successful as he
had previously been, he had not the pre-
science to see and guard against the ap-
preaching storm, and the financial cyclone,
caught MIN and large part of great for
tune was swept away at blow. He was
financially wrecked. He has left no unin-
numbered fortune of from eight to four
teen millions as has been asserted. He
could see no way to retrieve his fatal losses,
his proud spirit was broken, heart and
mind gave way and he went to suicides
grave. Business men may learn lesson
from this sad chapter. Mr.. Stone lost his
fortune, not in wild speculations, but in
sound legitimate business, regarded as
among the most profitable in the country.
But there are certain infexible laws of
trade, of production and consumption,
those joint business factors, which no
sagacity can control, and whose approach
ing accomplishments no mere human fore
sight can discern. Viewing the losses and
the fate of Amasa Stone, will not careful
prudent men, engaged i'll vast enterprises,
considerably enquire what is not only the
Immediate, but the near by future business
outlook, and strive to keep within the line
of safety?

What a pitiful sight it is to see a
young man, whose father and mother
have spent a life time m raising and
instructing him, staggering and reel
ing under the influence of whisky
How must his parents feel when they
know that all their trouble and toll
and prayers have been in vain and
that the son who was expected to be a
comfort and a solace in their old age,
has started in career, which inevi-
tably leads to ruin and disgrace. 1t
would seem that a young man through
mere gratitude to his parents for their
pains and suffeingsin his behalf would
think better and do better than this.
Is there no way to stop this accursed
thing? Shall men who walk upright
and bear the image of their Creator,
and who can accomplish such wonder
full things in other departments con-
fess that, immortality and open un-
blushing drunkenness is beyond the
power of man to remedy. Can not

Kellogg hints very vehemently that

record, the people of the United States
would find him guilty by acclamation

eral principles. That q previous grand
jury did not indict him on the same
testimony, does not prove anything,
except that there are two kinds of

On and after May LIST the internal
revenue tax on tobacco and snuff
will be reduced one half, from 16 to
Scents per pound, and on all tobac.
co and snuff in nnbroken packages,
on which the old tax has been paid,
the excess will be refunded by the
government. Congress failed to
make an appropriation for the pur.
pose, but such rebate may be "paid
in stamps at the reduced rate.n-
The tax on cigars and the larger
cigarettes is reduced to 90 per thou
sand. The reduction of tax on to.
bacco, snuff and cigars is just enough
to benefit dealers, but not enough to
make any material reduction to con-
sumers.

For the three quarters of the fiscal
year ending April LIST the Govern
ment income was $500, 426,245 as
against s298, 762, 221 for the same
time the year previous.
The tax reductions on banks have
already taken effect we believe
those on tobacco begin in May and
on sugar on June LIST. But notwith.
standing these reductions and the
other slight changes made in the
tariff laws the Federal income here
after will probably be much in excess
of the needs of the Government. It
may be that high taxes have no eff.
feet on condition of trade; but it
certainly can do no harm to Try the
effect of relieving the people of their
heavy burdens. The taxes ought to
be still further reduced.

If the practice of publishing in the
Congressional Record speeches never
delivered is continued, the govern
ment printing Office viii soon have to
double its capacity in order to handle
this great national contribution to
political literature. The Record" of
the last session will contain over 1000
pages, of which $50 will be in an ap-
pendix entirely made up of speeches
which were printed on leave" but
never spoken. It would have been q
bigger volume by good deal but for
the fact that the superintendent of
the printing Office got frightened
when it was announced that the
speech of Gen. Wheeler cost the gov
eminent $1,000, and concluded to
put a stop to the business on his own
authority, so that not q few of the
members who had leave to print will
fail to find their speeches in the Rec
ord.-St. Louis Republican.

The Way the Money Goes.

Memphis Appeal.
The burdens of taxation can be
patiently endured SO long as the gov
eminent is economically administer
ed. But, when the public revenue is
squandered for corrupt purposes, mis-
appropriated and wasted in giving
employment to useless officials, the
people feel that they are feeced and
robbed. A plethoric treasury is the
nursery of extravaganza and corrup-
ton. The Democrats urged reduc-
ton of the tariff and the revenues of
the government, because high tariffs
and surplus in the treasury fostered
profigacy and villainy. The Repub-
licans opposed any reform because it
deprived them of the only resource
by which it was possible for them to
retain power. In ordor to give en-
ployment to INSCRIPTIONS partisans
many useless Offices have been Great
ed, and there are thousands of men
in the employ Of the government at
high salaries whose services can be
dispensed with without detriment to
the public service. There are many
instances where customs districts
have been created in which the ex-
penses exceed the gross receipts. In
Maine the Castine customs district
took in $277O 9s last year, but the
expenses of running the customhouse
was $5499 n. At Frenchman's Bay
the receipts were $41S2 81, and the
expenses $5328 80. At Kennebunk
the receipts were $2O6 90; expenses,
1913 81. At Machais the receipts
were $4021 20; expenses, 1892 SO.
At Saco the receipts were 1854 70;
expenses, 1919 IL. At New York the
receipts were $50; expenses, 1858 so.
An army of broken down political
hacks-congressmen repudiated by
the people-have been made deputy
marshals and assistant prosecuting at
torneys and quartered upon the treas
ury to arrest and prosecute the best
citizens of the country. This is the
way the money goes. So soon as the
Democrats ascend to power the use
less Offices viii be abolished. Seedy
dead-beats will no longer be hired by
the government to harass honest men,
and there win be a general system of
retrenchment and reform.

The Northern Pacific Railroad ap-
breaches completion The last con.
tract covering $50 miles across the
Rocky Mountains has been LET. A
tunnel $3.50 feet long and 5,548 feet
above the sea level is being pushed.
The highest elevation on the North.
ern Pacific is $500 feet lower than
the highest point on either the Union
Pacific or the Central Pacific. Track
laying is progressing at the rate of
three miles and a half per day, and
the work viii be over in August
This line is so much more level than
the other Pacific routes, that it will
be operated at much less cost, ex-
cept perhaps, in the winter, when
it is apprehended the SHOWS viii
render it impossible. And yet it is
a singular fact that the climate along
it's route is not so severe as the high
latitude would indicate. One might
wonder what necessity exists for the
construction of so costly a road
through the unbroken solitudes of
the Rocky Mountains; but the march
of the immigrant is Westward and
he follows the railway lines with
unfaltering footsteps. It will not be
many months before all the arabic
land ten miles on either side Of this
artery of commerce will be taken
up and sown to wheat. The market
for the produce win be Europe. The
European who finds life irksoine in
the Fatherland migrates to the IN.
known slopes of the Rocky Noun
tains, and sends bis surplus bread
stufs to feed his kith and kin at the
old homestead. Such is life in the

Mediocrity to the Rear.



Louisiana Democrat
The time has come in this State to
return to the ante bellum method of
selecting capable men to fill the inn
portant Offices. Mediocrity from its
long lease of power has grown ram
pant and audacious and must be
taught that its rightful place is in the
rear. 1t has SO long occupied the
front, while capacity, worth and fit
ness have been given the cold shoulder
in politics that the fight to retire it
will be bitter one, but that ought
to make the good people of this State
only the more determined and reso-
lutte.
Many of the names that have al
ready been mentioned for high places
are4wholly unfit and it is presumption
of the checklist kind for such aspira-
tions to be even entertained, much
less to be seriously and confidently
heralded to the world. It will be a
sad day for this State when the Offices
viii be given to men of the calibre of
those who are seeking them. It has
been said that there is an organized
ring and that the places are already
parceled out as so many rewards for
brazen efrontery, unholy ambition
and pretentious merit. Men whose
highest idea of Office is power and
profit, whose sole claims are igno-
rance and political iugglery and who
base their hopes of success upon their
power to thwart or overawe the public
sentiment of the State, are said to be
on the State ticket which has already
been fixed up.
They had as well understand now
as later, that the people of this State
do not propose to submit to the Sc
lection of such men. Ring rule in
the State or local politics, to use
slang phrase, is played out" The
offices belong to the people and not
to a chosen few who happen to be in
power, or chance to know how to
''r1n the machine" in their own in
terest. It is time for the people to
exercise their own choice, and unless
we mistake the temper of the times,
they win insist on their sovereign
right to do so. When they do in
fact take the matter of filing the
Offices by men of their own choice we
may expect to see honest, capable and
deserving men in power. When they
do, mediocrity will take back seat
