THE Commissioner of Pensions has
reversed the ruling of Raum, and in
stead of all who are afflicted in any
way, being entitled to pension I'M
der the new law, only those who are
completely disabled and unable to do
any manual labor are entitled to pen
slons. Look out for reversal of
some of the pensions in this part of
the country.

If the Worlds Fair is opened on
Sunday, after the hard fight that the
Churches have made against it, the
only consistent thing for them to do
is to boycott it by staying away and
also by Withdrawing their exhibits.
But they will not do this. Every
Church member that wants to go to
the Fair will go-Sunday opening, or
no Sunday opening. Just watch and
see if they don't.

or prejudices into the columns OF his
newspaper, and against this he should
guard himself as well as human weak
ness will allow. The editor as an in
dividual Is one person; the editor at
his desk is another person. AS the
one he may have his friends, associ-
ates personal likes, dislikes and pref
erences, but as the other he should
not allow these considerations to in
fuence him in the discharge of his
duties, so far as he can by stern re-
solve and loyalty to duty prevent.
The editor takes no formal oath to do
his duty, but it is clearly implied and
he is as morally bound to perform his
duties fairly and impartially as the
judge upon the bench. This is the
proper standard of editorial duty and
responsibility, and though we fear
most editors fail to measure up to it
they should honestly strive to do so.

THE administration has at last done
one thing for which it deserves credit.
In the entertainment of the Spanish
Infanta and her suite, who were in
Washington as the official guests of
the nation, it discharged an unusual
task in most satisfactory manner, to
all concerned, in spite of the attempts
Of some tuft-hunting Americans to
persuade it into making a mess of
things by following European Gus
toms. Not little of the credit, how
ever, is due to the Infanta, who prov
ed herself to be a woman fully
endowed with common sense, ready
to adapt herself to American customs,
instead Of expecting Americans to
adopt Spanish customs.

A SHORT time ago the idea of an
income tax was put out, by the ad-
ministration, as a "feeler" of public
sentiment. If it appears favorable it
will be recommended to Congress;
otherwise it will be dropped for the
time being.

what we now pay in rents etc. will be as
shown about 500 a year. To raise this
sum on our present assessed valuation
will require an additional tax levy of
about two-thirds of a mill. That is. a
mar who pays taxes on 81 Loo will be
called upon to pay GO cents a year addi-
tional. for maintaining this White
Elephant of n city building. Even
Prof. Bach. who is making such a grand
kick against the bonds. will only be
held up for ei.16 a year more than he
nows pays. and Geo. Miles. the largest
taxpayer in the city. will be called upon
to add about $1,000 to his usual annual
contribution.
Before leaving this subject. it is per
haps proper to call the attention of the
people to one point that is apparently
lost sight of. while the city is getting
along now with a phenominally small
expenditure for rents. can anyone say
with certainty that this expenditure
will not be doubled or trebled within a
year: In all premises occupied. the city
is only Il tenant on sufferance. and when
ever the place is wanted by someone
else. the city must pay the going rent or
get out. In a year from o we may.
instead of paying $500 IA year rent be
compelled to pay $1,000 or 1900 and
still have no accommodations. We
mention this to show that a comparison
with the expense Of the city Of today, is
an unfair one. for the reason that We are
getting accommodations now. such as
they are. at a rate that we can scarcely
hope to have hold good through this
summer: certainly not any longer.
As the effort has Deer made to make
the small owner of real estate believe
that if the bonds carry and the city
building is built, his property will be
forever in the clutches of a bond from
which it will never be free. we have to
ask this class of voters If there is any
thing in the policy of owning and hold
ing property in a town or city that is
wholly without public spirit. or a de-
sire to progress by its w exertions: If
we cannot improve II own condition.We
cannot expect tohave others con here
and do it for us. One thing is certain:
the taxes that the owners of real estate
is this city will be called upon TO pay
as a direct result of voting these bonds
will never hurt them. Prof. Bach and
his financiering to the contrary not,
withstanding.

The first item is correct: it will cost

mitted TO be good financial policy to
begin to accumulate a sinking fund ten
years before it can possibly be used.

they cannot be redeemed for ten years
and need not be for twenty: hence it re-
quires no argument to prove that a cIty
council that would at one ommence
taxing a small and struggling communi-
~ like we have here. to provide for the
payment of a debt that need not be paid
for twenty years. would be of small IL
nancial calibre. All public improve
ments of any amount are projected on
the principal that they will benefit pos
terity and posterity should help pay for
them. and as we all hope and expect TO
make the burden Of taxation more bear
able in the years to come by reason OF
increased population and taxable wealth
it cannot be disputed that the true
policy in regard to a sinking fund to
meet the bonds, would be to defer tax
alton for it for five years at least.
The next item is grossly exaggerated;
and considering this and the kindred
items of expense connected with the
building, il must be remembered that
that portion of the building. the ex-
pense Of which will fall upon the city. is
not the part that will demand the most

but there are steam heating plants in
this city that have been run for years
with but nominal expense for retitting
and repairs other than those necessita-
ted by fire or accident. and 1t is not at all
likely that a new plant will prove any
more expensive than these old ones.
The charge of $1,000 is too much by at
least $4,000.
The charge of $4,000 for fuel. is. ac-
cording to the Judgment of AID. Thos.

town for years past and he says that
$4,000 worth of coal is all that would
be required for the city building.
The next two items: %ianitor 100000
and jailor 100000 originate in the active
brain of the professor. So far as this
matter has been talked of by the city
council. it has been agreed that in n
sideration of furnishing the chief of
police with living quarters. lights and
fuel. and the privilege of boarding the
city prisoners. he would be both jailor
and janitor of the city por-
ton of the building. So here
goes $4,000 out of the professors es-
innate. in one lump. We do not say
that this arrangement has been made
with the present chief Of police. but we
do say that the city council feel assured
that they can make such an arrange
ment with some competent person and
that there will be no expense to the city
for either. jaiIor or %ianitor. and anyone
who considers the matter will readily
see that it can be done.
The remaining charge of $500 for in
surance is correct. Now let us see how

THE BOND QUESTION.

The appearance IN the street on Sat
notice in that days issue ofthe YELLOW
STONE JOURNAL. of a dodger put out by
the opponents of the bond issue. has
rendered excusable. If not necessary.
this special issue of the JOURNAL.
As has heretofore been stated. the
JOURNAL is not and never has been an
advocate of the issue of city bonds for
the meressake of putting the money in
circulation" but it has honestly be-
lieved that a public need existed for a
public hall and for a city building: it
was opposed to combining these two
, structures in one. but deferred to the
overwhelming public sentiment in favor
of this course. as expressed at every
public meeting that has been held for
the discussion of this subject. These
meetings have developed two existing
conditions that admit of no discussion.
First-That the people of this city
want a public hall and a city building:
and.
Second-Thlt they believethe city can
safely undertake the erection of both
under one rpof. and at the cost esti-
mated.
sin the tin that has elapsed since the
declaration If these verdicts. opposition
has arisen and been fostered by the dis
emination of statements in regard to the
expense that the proposed building will
impose on the taxpayers. some of which
are wholly untrue and others. grossly
exaggerated. The mediums Of communi-
cation between the opposition and the
public has beer Professor Louis Bach.
whose latest publication entitled The
Last Warning" is now under consider
alton.
The professor. when he is not Of the
government. is generally "agin it.. For
reasons best known to himself. he hes
declared that no act of the present city
council shall have his august approval.
and in pursuance of this determination
we find him arrayed against the bonds.
Inc III ols ! III ''il-
sistent in the matter. would willingly
have left the settlement of the bond
question with the people. unbiased by
any argument pro or con. but the OPP
ponents of the bonds. through the
agency of Prof. Bach. have twice placed
before the voters an array of figures
that falsify the facts: the second publ
cation being at a time when il was
thought. no attempt would or could be
made. to expose their falsity.
Now. let us examine these figures: the
professor claims that the expenses of
the city will be increased s3.430.0O by
the erection OF a building costing SIS
OOO.OO. for which it is proposed to issue
bonds. a claim which he proceeds to
to demonstrate as follows:
