Some years ago the revenue law
known as the Hewitt law, fixed the
tax on banks at IS cents on each
one HUNDRED dollars worth of stock,
and this tax, payable TO che State,
was in lieu of all other taxes, coun-
ty, town, school or railroad. In
other words, the banks paid the State
rs cents and were liable for no other
taxes. Under the new constitution
and new legislation, it was held that
the banks were taxable just like 9TH
er property-no more for State pur-
poses than other property, and no
less for all local purposes. The
banks took the matter into the courts
and Saturday the Court of Appeals
rendered a decision upholding the
position Of the banks, and hereafter
bank stock will be taxed for State
purposes only. The rate Of taxation,
however, is 10 cents, while the rate
on other property Is only 42t cents
The court holds that the Hewitt law
gave the banks certain rights and the
legislature has no power to change
what was really contract. This
will take about 1850, 900 back taxes
besides $1,000 annually into the
State Treasury.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Sunday Courier Journal says that
it may be possible that Mr.. Carlisle
will not come back 10 Kentucky to
make another speech on the currency
que ,tion. He did rot carry the State
by storm on his first trip, and it is
not likely that he would make a COM
plete revolution if he came every
week until the crack OF doom. A
great man like Mr. Carlisle might Ill
timately convert Kentucky to his
way of thinking, but it would take
some little time; in fact bis former
utterances and votes and letters must
be forgotten and rubbed out Iof exist

COLUMBUS, O., Sept 30.-The report

Playing For the Presidency.

Mr.. James E. Campbell, Democratic
candidate for governor, was little late
with his fireworks on the Monroe doc
trine. The Republican statesmen have
been demanding self-respecting and
vigorous foreign policy for years, and
have enforced their demand when
clothed with power. Early last spring
Ex-Governor Foraker made a notable
speech on the Monroe doctrine, and Mr..
Campbell S later effort in New York was
little more than an echo of Governor
Foraker's, plus some noisy jingo and
buster. The only reason in the world
that Mr.. Campbell's utterances on the
Monroe doctrine have arrested attention
for a second is that he is Democrat
and people find it odd that, in viewsof the
feeble and shameful record of the Cleve.
land administration in the domain OF
foreign affairs, Democrat should, even
for purposes of ef-advertisement, lift
his voice in favor of maintaining the

Campbells Monroe doctrine bluster il
nothing more or less than an appeal tc
the masses for popularity and promi
nence in connection with possible presi
dental nomination.

Now that Ex-Governor Campbell is

worse stroke of business than employ
his former guide. m onitor and adjutant
general, Colonel Mort. L. Hawkins, as
his advance agent. Mort. is still in the
advertising business and writes a rat
tling poster. Here, for instance, is the
way he posted the last Democrats legis-
lature Ohio had:
1t will go down to history as the most unsat-
isfactory official body that ever met in the

indifferent OF very bad. 1t has insisted On do
ing things that will down it for all time to
come. 1t will be distinguished as having spent
thousands of dollars useless expenditures,
for having cowardly forsaken its German
allies, for dealing in weak and uncertain way
with the canals and for accepting from bood
lers a goodly sum of money for having among
its members some of the smallest and cheapest
rascals that ever got into politics-men who
saw no good in any measure unless they could
discover a IS greenback wrapped up in it.

in spite of the declaration of the state
convention in favor of the single gold

MONROE DOCTRINE.

II 10 TO BE Enforced In the Contention
with Great Britain Over venexuela.
CHICAGO, Sept 2s.-The Evening
Press prints the following from its
Washington correspondent:
"As sure a. you see the sun shining
out there this government will enforce
the Monroe doctrine in the contention
with Great Britain over Venezuela"
Thus declared . democratic leader
Friday whose name is known through
out the length and breadth of the
land, who has received distinctions at
the presidents hands that indicate the
confidence and favor with which he is
regarded, and who is close enough to
the councils Of his party to speak with
authority.
"The situation is getting more
strained every day. Indeed, affairs are
rapidly approaching crisis. If Eng
land refuses to accede to the request of
the United States for arbitration the
Monroe doctrine will be upheld and
American interests protected by stern
er methods.
"You can put it down as positive and
settled that the administration will
tolerate no trifing with the time hon.
ored principle. just how soon the
clash may come is not SO easy to pre-
dict, but this governments patience is
already sorely tried, and it 'can not
brook much further delay with equa-
nimity."
DO you give this as your own views,
or the determination of the admins
tration?"
II would not express myself in this
way without knowing whereof speak.
Of course, can not say for whom I
speak. You can rest assured, however,
that am telling you no lies"
"What will the administration do
about recognizing the fighting Gu.
bans?"
"The belligerency of the Cubans
will be recognized if they maintain
their present position sixty days.
That is as certain as what have just
said about the trouble in Venezuela.
And congress will move faster than
the administration in extending this
recognition. Just because the papers
are setting up a clamor to recognize
the insurgents right away, we can not
proceed forthwith and fire cannon
and run up flag. 1t must be accom-.
plished with consideration and dignity
that become so important proceed.
ing. But repeat-the Cubans will be
recognized as belligerents.
