For while it was given out that the
office of the district clerk was worth
S25,0OO year, and as the campaign ap-
proachcs this amount has grown to
fabulous proportions. The office un-
doubtedly pays better than any other in
the state, but in the opinion of experts
it Is not worth more than $4,000 year
after office help and expenses are paid.
The profit aud loss account has always
been in evidence. There are thousands
of dollars due Clerks Armstrong and
ljams, Il share of which is now outlawed
and uncollcctible. There can be no
question that the legislature should put
this office in the same relation to the
county as are the treasurer and recorder
of deeds. For them salary is stipu-
lated, and revenues in excess of that
sum must be turned into the county

Statements differ as to what would

say that the president and secretary of

will be no hesitation to act if the re-

State and Local Taxes.
Chicago Record.


The government of Prussia recently inaugu-
rated a comprehensive scheme of tax reform
which contains some useful suggestions for
American legislatures The distinguishing
feature of the new dispensation is the entire
separation between the general and the local
systems of revenue. Formerly, as in the
United States the towns raised their direct
taxes by simply adding certain amount to
the state taxes. Now the sources of state and
of local revenue are quite distinct. The towns
are permitted to impose direct taxes upon real
estate and business. but not to levy general
property tax. The revenues of the Prussian
state are derived chiefly from the property
and collateral Inheritance tax.
The separation of state and local revenues in
some such manner as this has been advocated
by tax reformers in all parts Of the world
The attempt to derive general and local reve
nues from the same scource has everywhere
been more or less Of failure. In the United
States the attempt has resulted in the estab-
lishment Of boards of equalization which do
not euualize Uuder the existing system every
assessor will make his valuations as low as
poss BILE, in order that his district may escape
its share of taxation for state purposes. The
trouble is bound up with the general system
of taxation.
There are strong reasons for advocating the
adoption In this couhtry Of a system by which
state and local revenues are derived from sep
arate sources 'iIt

END OF THE AFFAIR IN SIGHT
Energetic Demands Of America and Eng

FIVE CHINESE RIOTERS UNDER ARREST
Government Mt Pcking vigorously y
Insists that IL VIII Exhaust
Every Effort to Bring the
Guilty to Justice.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The following
cablegram signed by the Chinese foreign
Office. the Tsung Ii Yamen. was received at
the Chinese legation today:
"No Americans were injured in the recent
riots. though several English were. Five of
the rioters have been arrested"
This is the first official information which
has been received and the fact that no in
formation was received heretofore is taken
at the legation to mean that the Chinese
government Is anxious to have the outside
world understand that China is exertlng her
utmost endeavors to punish those who par
tcipated in the assaults upon the mis-
sioGaries
The officials OF the legation maintain
strenuously that the Chinese government will
exhaust every effort to bring the guilty to
justice. They controvert in strong terms the
assertion that the matter will be left to
partial commission. While admitting freely
that prejudice exists among some of the lower
classes of the Chinese against foreigners, they
contend that the wealthicr and better edu-
Gated do not share this feeling,
The legation officials also refuse to accept
the statement that the officials of the prov
inces in which the rioting occurred were
implicated in the disturbances. They admit
the possibility of negligence but not of culpa-
bllty on the part Of the officials. They also
| direct attention to the recent decree OF the
emperor for the protection and liberal treat
ment of missionaries from foreign countries
as proof of the absence OF antagonistic feeling
to this class of foreigners.

Review of Reviews.

As for Cuba, II Is American doctrine that
the European colonial system represents only
a transitional stage. Cuba Is an American
country. and her political connection with
Spain ought not to last any longer than Cuba
herself desires. u is monstrous that war
should be waged, in Cuba, and the whole land
devastated by Spanisrds, because Cuba prefers
to establish her owns Independent government.
1t is no duty of ours 10 assist Spain in holding
Cuba. On the contrary, 1t is our duty at
the earliest possible moment to recognize
Cuba's belligerent rights, and to give her
moral sympathy in her struggle. At the
present moment our government is incurring
large amount Of expense in the attempt
to keep Americans from going to Cuba. A
reasonable amount Of precaution on our own
soil to prevent the fitting cut of notorious
hlibustering expeditions must be exercised, un-
der the terms Of the existing treaties with
Spain. but II certainly is a question whether
our government is not showing misdirected
zeal in sending ships TO patrol the Cuban
coast, lest some aid may come to Cuba from
Cuban friends and sympathizers In the United
States. The question is a d!fficllt one for
our government, and the Washington policy
must not be condemned without good cause
But certainly the American people do moi
expect that the strength Of the United States
will be used to aid the Spanish monarchy In
keeping its brutal hand upon the throat of al
American Island community.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: Mr. Bestow will Just
let them use his name. as sacrifice to his
love OF the democratic party, but he is re-
solved that he will retain the custody Of his
mouth. and that his right arm shall not be
caught in the humiliating act of writing a
letter of acceptance. Mr.. Bestow of course
does not mean it, but, really, he seems to
offer his name as the cheapest thing he has
in stock.
Dubuque Telegraph: Some Of the dailies of
the state are discussing the alleged blunder
involved in the democratic nomination for
railroad commissioner as earnestly as IL Mr.
jenkins had shadows shadow Of chance
OF election. Mr.. Jenkins is a genial gentle
man, but if the Marshalltown convention had
had the faintest expectation of electing its
ticket he would not have come within $50
votes of the nomination.
Sioux City Times: The returns of the Iowa
census coming in at Des Moines indicate that
the work has been very imperfectly done in
many counties Some of the enumerators
have neglected the statistical work almost
entirely, aside from that relating to the num-
ber OF inhabitants. II is said that 1t is not
improbable that some of the returns will
have to be completed upon order of the exec
utiye council at the expense of the delinquent
counties. 1t Is unfortunate that the value OF
this state census must be discounted in ad-
vance Of its publication.
Des Moines Leader: 1t has been estimated
500 100000 of cash by the failure of its
corn crop. That amount would have been
realized from the sale of the surplus il the
crop had not failed. Its loss was a severe
blow to the state. This year the state will
have that money. 1t means the renewal of
good times and the revival of confidence in
every line Of trade. If the fall business this
year In all departments of trade is not the
best in years, it will be great disappont-
ment to those whose judgment is best.
Dubuque Telegraph (dem): Cleveland's
profession of devotion to civil service reform
is a sham. The convention at Marshalltown
was packed with federal officehoders and
placefillers who had failed in their efforts
to become delegates were present in force
devoting themselves to the task Of in1uenc-
ing opinion and votes against silver. Erst-
while Cleveland characterized this as per
nicious activity and forbade it. Now he
not only sanctions the evil. but he gives Office
holders to understand that their tenure is
contingent upon the assiduty with which
they practice it. The postmasters. collectors,
etc. must do what the dictator bids or walk
the plank

BowLER's GREAT HEAD.
Treasury COmptrOlIcr bigger Man
Than Cleveland.
New York Sun.

Mr.. Bowler, the comptroller Of the treas
ury. has refused to issue warrant for some
Sl2, 500 in favor of the OXnard Beet Sugar
company of Nebraska, and the argument of
the alleged constitutional question was COM
menced before Comptroller Bowler on
Wednesday last.
The comptroller of the treasury arrogates
to himself a power greater than that OF
the secretary of the treasury. power
equalled only by that OF the president Of
the United States. and power which could
be exercised by the chief magistrate only
by the use of his veto. If such be the law,
and If the comptroller Of the treasury be
vested with the prerogative of reversing the
action of congress- it would be well here
after for the federal legislature to attach
to any appropriation made by it a provision
that such appropriation shall be paid pro-
viding 1t be approved by the comptroller OF
the treasury, and not otherwise.
This sugar warrant sent to the comp
troler by the first auditor. The Revised
Statutes of the United States provide that
1t shall be the duty of the first comptroller
to examine all accounts settled by the first
auditor. except those relating to receipts
from customs, and all accounts settled by
the fifth auditor. and by the commissioner
OF the general land Office and to certify
the balances arising thereon to the register;
to superintend the adjustment and preser-
vation of the public accounts subject to his
revision; to counters!gn all warrants drawn
by the secretary of the treasury, which
shall be warranted by law. and to supern-
tend the recovery OF all debts certified by
him to be due to the United States.
The duties, therefore. of the first comp
troller administrative or ministerial
and he is vested in no sense with any judi
cial or discretionary power. According to
our construction of the law, it is not for
this official to declare or to decide whether
an act of congress be constitutional or not.
His function is limited to the verifcatlon Of
the accounts settled by the first auditor,
and to the ascertainment of the correctness
of the figures for which the various war
rants are drawn.
Were it otherwise this subordinate off,

a practical power greater than that pos

now OUR TARIFF HELPS THEM.


A London dispatch states that trade
statistics for the quarter show that while
there has been shrinkage in British
exports to the principal European coun-
tries, except Germany, the total value
has been largely increased through the
expansion of commerce with the United
States. The increases are most noticca-
bic in the wOolen. cotton and linen man
ufactures. The English and Scotch cen
ters of these trades. the dispatch says.
are now feeling the beneficial effects of
the revival Of trade with America and
the new tariff is regarded as highly
favorable for the wOolen, wOrsted. cot
ton, linen and jute industries of Great
Britain. The Improvement does not eX-
tend equally to iron and steel manufac
lures and tin plate. Barrow and other
centcrs of the steel trade are greatly de-
pressed. The manufacturers reluctantly
admit that Americans are no longer
large customers for heavy classes of
steel and are gradually taking posses
sion of the tin bar trade, as they have
previously secured the wire rod trade.
This shows to what extent the demo
cratic tariff has contributed to the pros
perity of the British manufacturers. 1t
has been the greatest boon ever given
the wOolen and cotton Industries of
Great Britain. Before our present tariff
law went into effect those industries.
and particularly the woolen industry,
were greatly depressed. They had for
several years experienced the hardest
times, perhaps, in their history. A great
change in their condition has taken place
since. We noted few days ago that
the woolen mills in the Yorkshire dis
trict are all working overtime. some of
them running night and day. and they
are doing this for the American mar
kct, where their sales have more than
doubled within year. These British
wOolen manufacturers are expecting to
secure almost complete command of the
American market and what they have
already accomplished in this direction
gives them warrant for the expectation.
Such result would mean disaster to
our wOOlen manufacturers and our wool
industry, but if the effect of the foreign
competition should not go as far as this
it has already vindicated the prediction
of the friends of protection. Free wool
has brought no advantage to American
manufacturers, as was promised by its
advocates, Willie it has caused an inn
mcnse loss to our wool growers.
Free traders, who will doubtless find
qualification in the fact that our tariff
has resuscitated the wooden and cotton
industries of England, cannot do other
wise than regret the failure of the last
congress to be equally considerate of the
welfare of the British iron, steel and
tinplate industries. which 1t appears are
languishing because of the decline in
the American demand. The democratic
party improved well the only oppor-
tunity it had in more than thirty years
to advance the prosperity OF British
manufacturers and they are wise to
make the most of it, for that party will
not have another chance to hep them
for generation to come.
