DISPATCHES from the scenes of
Oriental warfare and peace confer
ences are peculiarly incongruous.
We learn of the declaration of an
armistice and at the same time
read of the advance upon Pekin
and residents retreating from For
mosa before advancing japanese
troops and menacing war vessels.
Japan has its 'jiugoists" and may
find it quite as much of a task to
keep the war party in check as to
make terms with the Chinese peace
commissioner.

which is iron combined with
health-giving medicines in a palat-
able form. No other medicine
is more popular in the house
hold-for old and young-for
women and children. It
strengthens the muscles, purifes
the blood and makes the cheeks

cisco reporters must read be-
tween the lines to understand
that he does not mean half
that he is reported as saying.
Mr.. Ashford was long enough
in Hawaii to convince the peo-
pie that he can tell the differ
ence between "a 'awk han
'au saw" and that he under
stands full well the value Of
silence. He has about as
much intention of heading a
hIibustering expedition as he
has of returning here and
standing as a candidate for
office. c. w. is a little joker
and the interview with the re-
porter III Frisco was one of his
Jokes. When Mr.. Ashford
left here, his main thought
was to do something in the
behalf of his brother. The
people here who know him
will not believe that filibus-
tering expedition is in the line
of assistance to that person.
Some time ago, we pur-
chased a lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some parties circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard of the Am
erjcam product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
276o pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we, sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have it tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength Of 768 pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell youi
that this American wire will
not be sold by us. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire
with the steel stays and gal
vanized washers comprise the
material necessary to use in
the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper or better
fence was ever made.

INCOME TAX LAW WEAK.

II The Inflated American income
tax ernerges from the hands of the
Supreme Court in a rather dilapi-
dated condition, and while a few
Justices stand by the constitution
atty of the law, the result of their
deliberations predicts endless liti-
CATION that will add more to the
treasures of individual lawyers
than the revenue of the United
States. Possibly that part of the
decision which exempts State
securities from taxation under this
law is more disastrous to the cause
of its champions than a unan-
imous opinion upon its be-
ing unconstitutional would have
been. The very middle class
and working men whom it was pro.
posed to protect or better still to
whose idea, that a man with a few
thousands ought to carry an extra
burden of taxation on account of
his ability to gain something more
than mere livelihood it pan
dered, those persons crying out
against the uusal equitable
methods of taxation now find
themselves, by the decision of
the Supreme Court of the land |
liable to become the principal |
bearers of the burden, while the
capitalist, if he places his money |
properly, goes comparatively free.
No assurance of the legal
strength of the law is given and
should it be brought into
active service, the courts

Governor OFerran has been unjustly
criticised in certain quarters because ne
declined 10 grant permission for the FIR
ing Of a salute at the funeral OF the late
General Malone. The facts In the case
are that the Governor. when asked for
his permission. inquired what had been
the custom I'm the past. on learning
that IL had not been customary 10 fire
salutes at the funerals OF major-generals.
and that such men ar General W. IL. H..
Lee had been laid al rest without such
honors, the Governor simply declined to
make an exception IN the case Of Cen
eral Malone.
The Governors attention was next call
cd 10 the fact that a salute had been
fired at the funeral OF General Kemper.
but In this instance the honors were
conferred upon the Ex-Governor and not
the former general.
