Senator Sherman tell an interviewer that
he does not think Harrison will be nominated
because it is the disposition of the people
to do away with old party leaders and look
for leaders in the younger element of the
party" His idea is that Major Mckinley
will be nominated for Governor of Ohio and
he thinks he will be elected. Speaking of
his own ambitions he said: 81 think should
like to round out my public life by being
elected for one term as member of the leg
islature of Ohio. We have some infamous
tax laws; for instance, anybody can get an
incorporation in Ohio without paying for
the franchise. Many such interpretations
are valuable. and would pay the state liber-
ally for the powers conferred. On the other
hand. we go to the very point of inquisitorial
research In the collection of personal taxes,
so much SO that we are driving wealth and
Industries out of the state. If you or own
stocks issued In Iowa, or in any other state,
why should we be taxed In Ohio for the
holdings? The system is wrong. / would
favor constitutional convention; we have
not amended our constitution for 40 years."
This reference Of the Senator's to the in
Quisitorial system of taxation which Is in
vogue in Ohio is commended TO the attention
Of the Maine advocates of the listing system.
It's, the Senator says, driving wealth and in
dustry out Of the Buckeye state. 1t would
have done the same in Maine had our repre-.
sentatiyes yielded to the clamor from certain
quarters and enacted 1t into law.
The Portland daily press., 1891-04-09

recent census bulletin gives some facts
about that very unpleasant subject, debt.
AS time seems to be coming on when the
Farmers Alliance orator is to be abroad In
the land with his stories of awful poverty, it
would be wise for readers who intend to par
ticipate in political discussions to paste these
facts in their hats
The national debt amounts to 1888 per
capita Of the population.
In the aggregate the national debt is less
than billion dollars, exactly $3.50, O29, 92O,
having been brought below the billion mark
Dy the present administration, which has
paid OIL already more of the debt than was
paid OF by Cleveland during his entire term.
In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 the debt
has been reduced about 800 millions of dol
lars In 1866, when 1t attained its maximum.
1t was 1856 millions; now it is less than
thousand millions.
Beside the national debt there are the
State debts. The census shows that for all
States they amounted in 1890 to $132, 446, $50.
In the course Of the last ten years the States
have paid off $72, 1853, 1886 of their debts. The
debt OF Maine at the present time Is about
S26O00OO. In 1868 it was at its highest
point, over $S,OOOOOO.l
Inc county debts In the United States
amount to $1l5,124,SS5. They have been de-
creased $780, 200 in the last ten years.
FINALLY we come to the city and town
SeDsS; winch amount to $344.37S,95O, and
na'e peeh decreased by $45, III, O19 in the last
ten years. Portland's debt is now 90 ore Eoo
Fourteen years ago it was se,O5o,2OC.
The total per capita debt in the Irnited
States. national, State, county, and mnn;oi
pal, is 1904.
80 lar as the government is concerned
debts are being paid up very fast and with
out any great burdens upon the people or
without any burdens that would seem groot
to the people of foreign country. If priv.
ate individuals will strive as conscientiouslv
to pay up their debts as the nation, states
counties, cities and towns are doing, man.
kind In America W Ill soon be the happiest
as well as the freest Of all the family.

The immigration law passed by the last
Congress excludes all idiots, insane persons,
or persons likely to become public charge,
persons suffering from a loathsome or con-
tagious disease, who have been convicted of
felony or other infamous crime or misde-
meanor, involving moral turpitude, polyga-
mists, and also any person whose ticket or
passage has been paid for with the money
IF another, or who is assisted by others to
come, unless it is saffirmatively or satisfac-
torily shown on special inquiry that such
person does not belong to one of the fore
going excluded classes, or to the class of
contract laborers excluded by the act of Feb.
26, 1885. The most of these classes were ex-
cluded by the old law, but many from all of
them got in. nevertheless, in consequence of
ment or the negligence of the officials. The
first defect is largely cured by a section of
the law which provides that:
The arrival of any alien or aliens by water at
any port of the United States shall be Immediately
reported by name, nationally and last place of
residence to the proper inspection officers, who
necessary medical examinations shall be made by
surgeons OF the Marine hospital service, or In
sSseto2 Oh s sbefgsncy Dy CIVILIAN surgeon In
TO take and consider testimony, all of which
shall be properly recorded. All decisions of in
spectors adverse to the right of an alien to land
shall be final unless an appeal be taken to the
superintendent of immigration. 1t shall be the
duty of officers and agents of vessels TO use prop
er precautions to prevent the landing of aliens at
any time or place other than that designated by
the inspectors, and neglect or violation of this
provision will subject the offenders to the punish
ment prescribed by section q.
Another important provision of the law is
the one that cOmpels steamship companies
to take back passengers forbidden to land, at
their own expense. That will no doubt re-
suit In the exercise of a good deal of care on
the part of the companies not to receive per-
sons likely to be sent back by our authori-
ties. OF course the effectiveness of the law
will depend very much on the faithfulness of
the officials, but If they do their duty fairly
well there ought to be great lessening in
the number of undesirable immigrants.

The Republic of Chill is undoubtedly in a
deplorable condition. We have so little to
do with this most enterprising and interest
ing of the South American states, that very
little news comes to us of the really stirring
scenes now going on. Advices from Europe
represent the President Balmaceda as being
defeated at every point, while harvests are
rotting in the fields, which are deserted by
the laborers. The anger of the whole country
is said to be aroused against President Bal
lnaceda on account of the outrages perpe-
trated by his troops. They have burned
the homes and destroyed the vineyards of
those who are leading the opposition, and
are generally carrying on the war with the
ferocity which the Chilians have always
shown in their wars.

stopped at the Ponce de Leon. A former
steward of that house told Mr.. Morrill, that
he sold $3.50 worth of Ponce de Leon bills of
fare at a nickel each, to outsiders who want
ed them to put in their letters.
In this connection Mr.. Morrill, recalls the
