IT would seem the Scott law is to be
an issue whichever way the Supreme
Court may decide. TheJRepubliean party
is committed thereto. Governor Foster
so argues and Senator John Sherman
speaks ApprOvingly. In late speech he
says: ,.-. N..4
eve neither intend to shlTk this issue
nor allow our Democratic friends to do
so. If they beat us this time we will
try 1t again. We will do no injustice
TO any trade or vocation, but we say it
Is not unjust to impose an annual tax of
500 upon those who sell spirttuOus and
800 on those who sell malt liquors.
Indeed, it is a marvel that such tax is
resisted by the Democratic party in
Ohio, when a much larger tax is levied
In other States." This speciOus re-
mark causes the Plain Dealer to say
that the Senator Is too fast. We might
| rather say 1t ia "a marvel that
a man of Mr.. Sherman's experience
and reputation for craftsmanship
should overlook 80 self evident Il priu-
ciple in morals as we'll as politics, that
every measure to stand the test of en-
| ligltened public sediment must mt least
/ be iustl Mr.. Sherman will not dare de-
| ny that man who sells malt or spirit
uOus liquors Is entitled to strict justice.
Yet the Scott law violates this princi
pie, stutiiOusly. The dealer who sells
| five hundred dollars worth of liquor a
year is taxed under 1t the same as a
dealer whose sales amount to five thou
sand dollars. That may seem fair and
just dealing to Mr.. Sherman, but there
are people enough who do not look at it
in that light to make matters very
warm for Mr.. Sherman's party at the
| IL nnyyf A HUnnr fa N
just and rational must be graded accord
ing to the business of the party taxed.
That Is the only license law the Demo
Gratis favor; and it is the only law of the
kind that agrees with fair pi ~ and com
mon sense"

The investigation of the Office Of the
Supervising Architect Of the Treasury
at Washington, has brought out the fact
that one granite contractor. in putting
up public buildings. made a fraudulent
profit Of $4lsOO0 out Of a contract for
which he was paid $908.0O0, and that
without this fraud his profit would have
been 80 per cent. In other words the
Government paid &8O8, 600 for work that
cost the contractor 100000. It is safe
to say the contractor is one Of the pill
lars Of the grand old party. There was
probably addition, division and silence

THE Republican platform resolves
against tariff for revenue, unless Il
shall also make people pay higher
price to the home manufacturers with
out adding TO the revenue. They want
no tariff unless It enables the manu-.
facturer to tax the consumer for ME
own profit only.
Ex-Congressman Mckinley said he
wanted protection for the sake Of pro-
tection"-that is, he wants government
to tax the people, not for revenue, but
to bestOw bounty upon few favoritesl
NOr0bber ruler ever wanted more.

THE poor tOiler in the tread

is only fit to be the slave that he is.

some fsvoably situated fields escaped. {.
This was true of some Of the hill
farms 10 Massachusetts,.
August was more cherries, if posi-.
Bile, than the summer months which
preceded Ice was formed halt an
inch in thickness. Indian corn was so
frozen that the g'eater part WAS cut
down and dried for fodder. Almost
every green thing was destroyed in
this country and Europe. On the
30lh, snow fell at Barnet, forty
miles from London. Newspapers
received fom EngIan stated that it
would be remembered by the present
generation that the year 1916 was a
year in which there was no summer.

September furnished about two
weeks of the pleasante.t weather OF
The season, but in the latter part OF

October had more than its share OF
cold weather.
In Eirope the summer was cold
and rainy. and in France and else
where prices of provisions rose to
double the usual figure. November
was cold and snowy. December was
comfortable and the winter following
was mild. Frost and ice were COM

Very little vegetation was mature

NEWPORT NEws-71s Ne,p At
lantic Port.-A writer in the B,lti-
more Sun says; Several corporations
and various individuals have united
to lulld a city at Newport News, Va,
which is % miles FROM the sea, IL
miles from Norfolk and 10 miles from
Fortress Monroe. Oithe corporations
the CHEF is the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad company, which is interested
in finding terminal shipping facilities
and an outlet to the sea for the terri
torv, over which it stretches in the
West. f.t
o. course the Chesapeake and OHIO
railroad interests are the largest sad
most imporla It of the rising empor-
lum. The terminal facilities of the
DAD are already Immense. and are
still expanding. First, three imm snse
piers have been built and two others
are Ia course Of construction on the
two corners of the Hampton Roa!s
aud the mouth Of the James River,
where the water has u depta varying
from 35 TO AZ feet. The piers already
built are 700 feet long aud 80, $50 and
l6o feet wide, respectively. Those in
course of construction will be on a
similar scale of magnitude.
The track of the railroad comes in
single at the western end Cf the town
as laid of. Twelve branches sweep
southwark and ea,terly to the various
docks and yards. Mr.. Lewis Bre-
mond, the general shipping agent of
the company, says there are not tracks
enough for one third of the business,
and that the work will soon call for
twice as many branches as the road
has now constructed. Five of the
tracks run to coal piers and coal
pockets. One of the piers has capac-
ity for handling 2.500 tons of coal
daily. In few days coal pocket
with capacity for 5000 tons storage
and track to it will be completed.
Mr.. Bremond says the railroad
company began at Newport News
May %, 1882. one year ago. The
first month the net revenue was
$25,0O0. In February. 1883, the net
rev nue. was 100000. Mr.. O. D.
Boggs, formerly residing in Baltimore
and now British consul here, states
that Fl ON June l, 1882, to date $40
vessels Of all sorts have loaded or
coaled at the port. OF these 800
were foreign steamers All steamers
or other vessels touching for coaliug
have to enter and clear regularly, and
The dues for coaling are sbcu $5.75
each. Touching for coal at Newport
