New York and the Presidency.

New York Mercury.
The republican managers in New
York knitted the fusion ticket. They
wanted to see Tammany win in the
city and the republicans carry the
state.
But now that they have won their
victory Morton's chances for the
presidential nomination are no better
than before. There will be q great
many statesmen anxious for the
republican nomination for the presi.
dency next year. and the selection is
likely to be a dark horse.
There are many good western men,
but it is not certain that Mckinley
is counted one OF them, in spite OF
Ohio's immense majority.
The republican managers of the
next presidential campaign will be
looking for doubtful states, not Ger.
tain ones.

REPLYING to recent criticisms OF
Cleveland's foreign policy the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, a paper which
has not been very ardent in its ad-
miration OF the present chief execu-
tive. well and truly says that all the
territory which this country has &C
quired has been obtained under DEM
ocratic auspices. unless we except
Alaska, and even that was purchased
after President johnson and Score.
tsry Seward had broken with the
republicans. The democratic party
fought the only wars we have had
with foreign countries since the
adoption OF the constitution, and
won them. 1t is a gross SANDER to
say OF such a party that it is incom-
petent to protect the country's
honor. But these charges came
mostly from men whose ancestors
and political predecessors were
against the government in the wars
OF 1912 and 1886.

urer OF Illinois. As such he is
trusted with tie custody of millions
OF dollars belonging to the people,
taken from them by the processes of
taxation. On election day he was
assaulted by person whose mother
has sued Henry Wulff in q court OF
this county on the allegation that he
is the proprietor of a club in Chi.
csgo. where gambling is practiced.
and that he is responsible for the
fleeing of her son.
"Mr. Wulff's defense goes no fur.
Their than that he is not personally
the owner Of the club and that at NO
time was he engaged in any dishon.
est play whereby the complainant or
her son was defrauded or hood.
winkcd or cheated.
"But the fact does remain that
Henry Wulff. charged with the Gus.
tody of all the public moneys of the
state of Illinois, is member of a PC
ker club, having o downtown room
in the city of Chicago; that he regu-
larly plays at its tables. and the sup.
position is that he enjoys in add
ton to what his winnings may be, a
large share Of what is called the
rake-off-that is. the deposits made
for the use Of the poker rooms and
their paraphernalia. A custodian of
public moneys thus scandalously
employed ought not to be trusted.
But it may be doubted that if
Henry Wulf were tomorrow a candi-
date for state treasurer of Illinois
upon the republican ticket. he would
not be sustained. gambler and all
that he is. He is treading in the
footsteps Of Quay"

Afternoon Session.

Al MI L A1ONSs
A concurrent resolution was introduced
by Senator White that the governor be au-
thorized to make a cut of rs per cent on all
appropriations, including general standing
appropriations.
A call of the house was demanded and
had.
SENATOR WHITE claimed that the
governor cannot make a horizontal cut of
the appropriations.
SENATOR BURKE said that the asylum
and ~penitentiary must be provided for. 1t
seemed that it would be unwfse, in the in
terests of those institutions, to pass such a
resolution.
SENATOR HAGGART said this resolu.
ton will save nearly $l5OOOO.
SENATOR MCGILLlVRAl said he
would be sorry to see any institution
closed. He favored cutting the appropria-
tons in accordance with this resolution.
SENATOR YOUNG could not see how.
the institutions could be run with a Is per
cent reduction.
On a division there were ID ayes and IA
nays.
SENATOR WHITE moved the appoint
ment of a committee to wait on the Cover.
nor, with one member representing each
district in which there is an institution.

Mr.. STEVENS remarks were as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House
of Representatives:
l thank you for this privilege. l have
already been accused of attempting
to get the privileges Of this floor
for the purpose Of addressing you
upon this question. | suppose l will
manner in which l have succeeded. Let
me assure you, however, that nothing has
been said by me and no thought enter
tanned by me previous to five minutes ago
that would look to my addressing this
house. l appreciate the fact that, not being
q member Of the house, my privileges are
will try, in my feeble way, in discussing
this question to be as brief as I can with
the points which 1 deem most essential for
the consideration Of each and every men,
Der of this house.
In the first place, taxation is not a volun-
tary contribution, but it is a special levy or
assessment that is made by the law passed
by a majority, and which is levied as a
contribution upon the individual owning
property. to sustain the rights and priyi-
leges OF statehood and citizenship. Being
so, it should fall with equal force upon all
with whom it has to deal: Every mans
property should be affected in a like man.
ner. For the purposes of the law a cor
poration is a person. There should he no
unjust discrimination against corpora
lions. The constitution has wisely pro-
vided that the property belonging to non
resident persons snail be assessed at no
higher rate than that belonging to resi-
dents and no higher rate of taxation should
be levied against a corporation than is
levied against the individual. We are de-
pendent upon corporations to assist us in
carrying out those things for which state
hood was formed. They are dependent
upon US for an existence and for the pur-
pose of carrying out that purpose for
which corporations were formed, which is
the payment of dividends to individual
stockholders.
We have for five years operated in this
state in all unconstitutional and unlawful
manner in collecting taxes IN railroad
property.
1t has become a fixed fact in the mind Of
every member of this legislature that
when In 1890 the legislative assembly
passed a gross earnings law, they either
passed q law under which all of the roads
must operate, or they passed no law at all;
PEELED by the provisions Of the constitution
to be taxed in exactly and identically the
same name But w have had the
double system. and for the purposes of
this argument l will now make before you
l am glad we have had it, as we can see by
comparison the effects of the two systems.
Take q county on the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad, the county treasurer
will tell you that in proportion to the miles
of track within that county be received
the same rate of taxation at $1,000 or $500,
as the case may be, main or branch line, he
has received from the assessment OF an
equal amount on your farm.
Take a county or the line of the Great
Northern, or any other railroad in the state,
and what will they tell you? They will
