aud be heartily hoped they would be

Senator Earl arose TO explain what he
meant by inconsiderate voters. 1t was
in the nature OF all men TO pay no taxes
when they could SiDly keep from SO
doing, and they would inconsiderately
vote down any tax regardless OF what it
was tor because it was a tax. He did not
re1ect upon any citizen or any poor man.
but it was the nature OF ali to shirk their
responsibility to the Government. and
escape from the payment of taxes.
Senator Smith said that while the Con-
stitution required thai only one poll-tax
be collected. the Board OF Superyisors NV
virtue of authority vested in them always
put on two extra poll-taxes, one for
roads, the other for hospitals. He be-
leyed that the school tax was paid more
cheeriully than either of the latter. and
that ii it came to matter of abolisbinp
either OF the taxes II should be either the
road or the hospital, or both. If the

The Proceedings at Chicago Against the
Company Come to Naught.
CHICAGO, June 3.-Several months
ago Attorney General Moloney began
quo warranto proceedings against the
Pullman Palace Car Co. for the purpose
of taking away its charter and termi-
mating its corporate existence. He
set up that the car company
had violated its charter by buy
ing real estate and building
the town of Pullman, by erecting and
operating the Pullman building in this
city, by manufacturing brick and by
other ways. Judge Baker handed
down his decision to-day. 1t was favor
able to the company in all points but
one. The court held that the company
had the right to own the Pullman build
ing and the brickyard land and to sell
liquor on cars, but had no right to own
Pullman iron and steel stock. No
Judgment was entered against the
company. 1t is understood that the
company will accept the finding of the
court in the matter of the stock in the
iron and steel company and will at
once dispose of it.

HOW They STAND.
APo1 OF the Next Congress on Three Lead.
ing lesueR.


NEW YORK, June 3.-The World yes
terday published telegraphic poll of
the next congress, as far as obtainable,
upon the silver, tariff and income tax
questions. The World sums up the re-
suit as follows: "In a general way it
may be said that out of 1T members
who gave unequivocal answers to the
silver question fifty-six favor free
coinage, forty-four favor bimetallism
generally. with the proviso of an in
ternational agreement. Only seven
teen can be fairly classed as favoring
single gold standard, and the atti-
tude of some of these even is not de-
finite. The south and far western
states are almost unanimous for free
coinage. The central states lean to-
ward silver, with international BIZ
metallic qualifications, and it is only
IL New York, New England and adj
!acent eastern states that there are
any avowedly gold standard men.
''In regard to the tariff, only twenty
eight members are against any change,
while thirty-five favor moderate
changes and thirty-eight are pro-
nounced for radical changes A few
are free traders. The moderates are
chiefly those who think changes will
be necessary in order to increase rev.
enues-
The income tax question brought
out many sharp and piquant answers.
Forty-nine congressman say that they
favor the principle of the tax Forty
seven oppose it. A great many evade
the question or failed to answer it."

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.
Officials Confident 1t VIII Not BE Nor,
Than R44,OOO,OOO.


Than 100000.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Treasury Off
Gals are now confident that the close
of the fiscal year, one month hence,
will show deficit of not more than
S4l, 600, 600, and possibly not more than
Sf3. coo, 600, which is at least s., OOO, 900
less than was predicted only a few
weeks ago, and $1,000, 600 or $4,000, 600
less than the present figures. It is
shown that the pension payments dur
ing June will be at least s., 500 900 less
than for May and that the payments
on account of interest will also be re-
duced 81, 500, 900, with an increase from
internal revenue of $4,000, 900 on ac-
count of receipts from special liquor,
tobacco and oleomargarine licenses,
which must be paid before July l, and
very material reductions in pension
and interest payments. 1t is confident
ly expected that next month will show
a small surplus, with deficit further
reduced to at least S44, 900. The
month of July, however, is likely to
see the deficit increased by at least
O,OOO, 600, as that month interest pay
ments will aggregate about 81, 600. 600
Disbursements in every branch of the
government are usually much heavier
in July than in any other month, so
that without the receipts are greatly
increased the deficit on August l next
will not likely fall much short of S55,-
000, 600 for the thirteen months.

All the COnvIcts in the Military Prison 81
Fort LeavenwOrth to Be Set Free

All the COnvicts in the Military Prison NJ
Fort LeavenwOrth to Be Set Free
LEAvENwORTH, Kan, June 2.-From
private advices from Washington re-
ceived at Fort Leavenworth it is
learned that all the convicts in the
military prison are to be pardoned out
by July l, when the institution is to be
turned into a United States peniten-
tiary. When the bill passed congress to
transfer the prison, three months ago,
there were $50 convicts, and since that
time all but 40 have been set free.
Those still in have been convicted of
all manner of crimes except murder.
The legal point has been
raised that they were origin
ally sentenced to regular peniten-
tiary and their sentences mitigated to
confinement in the military prison, and
no one has the power to place them in
the penitentiary now. Thirty-five of
the criminal class have been pardoned
this week and all the rest will soon GO.
All the prison workshops, except the
shoe and harness, are shut down for
lack of convicts to operate them.
There are >, $50 United States convicts
in state penitentiaries, and coo of them
are to be brought here Immediately
after July /

AMERICAN FARMS.
The London Times Comments on an Agri-
cultural Report.


LONDON, June S.-The Times this
morning has an editorial commenting
upon the agricultural report of Mr..
Hugh Cough, first. secretary of the
British embassy in Washington. II
says: "All the dismal comparisons
contained in this report tell one tale
of enormous production at nom
remunerative prices. With exceed
ingly cheap land, and with econ
omy of production and handling
carried to a remarkable length by
commercial ingenuity, the American
producers are yet baffied by the mag
nitude of their own operations. Loudly
as the American farmers complain,
they at all events have plenty. Those
of them who went from Europe would
probably have failed to enjoy as much
had they remained in European cities
to glut the labor market They all
desire, however, to command more
of the good things of life,
and it is from them that
the demand comes for all sorts
of economic experiments. They are
firm believers in the notion that an in
creased currency would cause a rise in
prices. Therefore. they are an easy
prey of the willy persons who want to
sell silver. But the price of grain at
liverpool would not alter, though
every western farmer had all the sill
yer currency the mine owners are
anxious to supply" The article ar
arrives at the conclusion that the Brit
ish farmer might make more of his
chances

SKIN DRESSING BY WOMEN.
The Work as IL IL Done by Indian squaws
and Eskimna.

In her tanning and skin dressing
work the savage woman's problem was
to remove the dermis from the hide,
and leave the hair adhering to the
epidermis. with only thin portion of
the true skin. If the work were cred
itably done, the surface of the robe,
Frequently more than thirty square
feet in extent, had to be uniform in
thickness throughout. and she should
not cut through the epidermis once.
The whole must be as pliable, too, as
a wooden blanket; the problem was to
reduce hide of varying thickness and
twice too thick everywhere to a robe
of uniform thickness throughout with
out once cutting through the outer
part of the skin. Her tools for this
varied with the locality. The Eskimo
women scrape off the fat with spe-
cial tool made of walrus ivory or bone
and plane down the dermis with a
stone scraper. The Indian women cut
off bits of meat and fat and remove the
dermis with a hoe or adze. In the
good old days OF savagery the Eskimo
woman made her fat scraper of walrus
ivory or antler; her skin scraper was
ot hinty stone set in handle of ivory,
wood or horn, whichever material was
easiest to procure. But later on, it
may be, the whalers helped her with
steel tools. The Indian woman had
three tools-to-wit: the stone knife for
cutting away the flesh: the hoe shaped
scraper for splitting the skin; and the
grainer. hoe or chisel-like tool with
serrated edge to roughen up the inner
side of the robe and give it fiexibility.
Besides these. both Eskimo aud Indian
had hands and feet and teeth for pull
ing and pounding and breaking the
grain. They had also a wonderful
supply of pride in their work. and love
of applause. which kept them up to
the mark of doing the best that could
be done with their resources Otis L.

while train of freight cars reach over

Twenty thousand dollars damage has
been done here and all the other points
