gagged in such business less than year.
and also of the estimated amount Of his
annual purchases for the ensuing year.
Said affidavit shall be filed and preserved
by the tax collector as a part of the re-
cords of his Office, and shall be in SUBJ
stance as follows, viz:
1.-THE undersigned, as a representative

4 new complication has arisen with
reference to the treasury cases. The law
directs the attorney general to discon-
tlnue the suits against Kuehn and Baetz
and to satisfy and discharge the judg-
meuts against McFettridge. This, Mr..
Mylrea VIII refuse TO do unless he IS
satisfied that the law so directing him is
constitutional. The real difficulty n the
way is that the republicans fear that this
acs of humanity will operate agans'
them 10 the next election and want TO
Green themselves behind decision of
lhe supreme court.
They exhibited courage in dealipg
with these ex-treasurers and were ar
pIauded for their action. Now they pro-
pose to hedge and deprive themselves
OF the glory they earned by early mani.
festatlon of courage and in acting as men
capable of feeling of pity end of sense
of Justice TO irGIviduals VINO were in
danger of being impoverished that the
state may lie enriched to that extent
What benefit to the democratic party
was apparent in the election of 1894 from
its having Wrested almost half million
dollars from the packets of individuals
for the benefit of the public, though
much of it the state was entitled to as a
matter of equity as we'll as Of law?
The people are not merciiess IN their
exactIOns though willing to accept un-
questioned what is offered to them.
There were no remOnstrances Of any con-
sequence against the remission of the
judgments and there is no censure now
that it has been done. A large majority
OF the people, democrats as we'll as re-
publicane, wished to see done in this
matter just what has been done, and the
movement to undo this will meet with
no favor nor Will 1t gain any friends for
the party attempting it. 1t may be
doubted that the law is constitutional,
but it was enacted for special purpose
and having accomplished the purpose OF
its enactment loses all the potency of lis
being.
