then the remarkable Goldsmith Maid

the trottiDg world. But 2:20 which was
then a marvellous performance is now

able speed has been surpassed by

Nancy Hanks in 1892 and on

ton of Clevelandism and free trade.
A rousing majority is given for Col.

of 24S over two years ago. Powers
majority is 1929, an increase of 311

1898, an increase of $50. The re-
mainder of the county ticket is also
elected by an increased majority.

Death of General Banks.

General Nathaniel P. Banks, died
at his home in Waltham, Mass, last
Saturday. For the past two years
he had been in failing health and his
death was not unexpected. The Gen
eral was held in high regard as a SOL
dier and a statesman. He began his
public career in the Massachusetts
Legislature, being the speaker of the
assembly in 1851. He was chairman
of the state constitutional convention
in 1853. He then entered congress,
serving several terms. He was three
times elected governor, and at the
beginning of the civil war entered the
service as a major general. Through
out the struggle he held prominent
positions and came out with high
honors. He served in every congress
except one from 1864 until 1877.
Afterward he was for a time United
States marshal for Massachusetts,
but for many years had lived re-
tired life and was little heard of. His
death will recall to many the stirring
times in which hetoOk an active part,
and many still in public life will re-
member work in which he was per-
sonalIy associated with them. Cen
oral Banks was born in 1916, and
his life was long, as it was useful.

How THE SOUTH CAN IMPROVE
The South owes it to itself to tax
itself more heavily for schools and
the other appliances of a progressive
society. The per capita tax for State,
local and school purposes is 81 IA.
The average per capita in the other
States is $12.75. Much of this d.
vergence is due to causes which lie in
the past, and which it is useless to
recall. The South should make a
stenuous effort to close this gulf
measurably before the next census
makes new record. Several of the
southern States have vastly improv-
ed their schools and are setting the
pace for other States Philadelphia

Maple Sugar Bounty.

NO MORE CHECKS WILL BE ISSUED BY
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
II the New England, New York and
Pennsylvania maple sugar producers
expect to get any bounty for the crop
which they gathered during the
months of February, March and
April of the present year, they will
have to recover it from the govern
ment by means of suits in court, for
the secretary of the treasury has
decided that he will not issue any
more checks on sugar bounty claims.
He holds that the passage of the
law repeating the Mckinley act re-
quires him to suspend forthwith all
operations under the bounty clause.
He has consequently ordered that
a number of checks which are already
made ont, and were in the hands of
the commissioner of internal revenue
to be forwarded to their destination,
shall be retained in the department.
The checks were prepared for the
purpose of paying the bounty which
had been earned on the maple sugar
crop of the spring of this year, on the
workings of the seconds" of last
years cane crop, and on final pay
ments to producers of cane, beet and
maple sugar last year in certain
cases where for some reason there had
been delay in passing upon claims.
Nobody who had bounty claim in
the treasury department unsettled at
the time the new tariff law went into
effect will, under this decision, get
anything, unless they institute pro-
ceedings in the courts and are able to
recover.
1t is not possible to determine with
any exactness the number of such
claims and the total amount repre-
sented by them, because of the fact
that many of the maple sugar claims
have not yet been received at the de-
partment.
1t is understood, however, that
there are claims from Louisiana,
arising from the proceeds of last
years crop, which have not vet been
paid for.
But the principal burden of the
decision will fall upon the maple
sugar producers. More than 5000
licenses were issued this year to this
class of producers, and under them
they produced a large amount of
sugar in the aggregate.
While the individual checks earned
do not average more than $50 or
$50, it is calculated that the claims
already received for bounty on maple
sugar amount in round figures to
something over $15O,00O, with more
yet to be heard from.
1t will be seen from the following
figures how this bounty on maple
sugar was distributed among the
states last year, aud it is said that
the proportion would have remained
about the same this year.
Maine $5770, New Hampshire
$24S0.13, Vermont SOS, 267.S 80, New
York $25, 401.O6, Pennsylvania
$SO90.3O, Maryland $2763 80, West
Virginia $156.26, Ohio $6153 "a,
Michigan $1669. IS, Minnesota $216.-
GA, Massachusetts $3.50 "a; total,
$115,121.9O.
The secretary's ruling seems to be
particularly valuable, tor the reason
that some OF the maple sugar pro-
ducers have already been paid for
this years production, while the de-
lay in the payment of what was
earned on last years crop is largely
due to the slow operations of the
treasury department itself.

KEEP Your PROMISES. Many peo-
pie promise anything you ask of
them, but make a small matter of
keeping their promises. They enter
into engagements with you to do
this or that, to meet you or to call
on you at certain time, or to do
some favor for you, and utterly fail
to fulfill their engagements. Surely
we ought to keep sedulous watch over
ourselves in this. regard. We ought
to be faithful to the promises we
make, cost what 1t may. 1t is a no.
BILE thing when we find out one
whose promises we are as sure of as
