Law is not equity, or that income
tax law would not have been de-
clared unconstitutional. This coun-
try Is hungering and thirsting to-
day for some legislation that will
be constitutional, under the pro-
visions of which the rich will be
compelled to bear In part at least
the burdens OF that government
which is so largely instituted for
their benefit. 1t Is almost exclu-
sively for the defense and protec'
tion of the rich that laws are en-.
acted, and yet 1t is the poor who
pay the taxes and otherwise main.
tain the burdens Of government. II
is this inequality that renders
labor uneasy.

John Hammond, that renegade
American who attempted in con-
junction with British emmisaries
to overthrow the republic Of the
Beers, has been given another in
stance Of tho great hearted old
Dutchman whose life and govern
ment he plotted against. Kruger
has permitted him to leave jail
and visit his sick wife. This only
speaks all the more eloquently Of
the dastardly character OF that at
tempt to subvert the liberties OF

All the same, there is no wisdom

demonetizing silver. The money
of this country lie OF a three fold
character, and that characte r

leg islation as will make doll ar In
silver or dollar in paper just as
valuable in the market as a dollar

tanned by common consent, it
should be assured by adequate leg

should be receivable for every pur-
pose by the government, witho ut
any discrimination in favor of

question of the people accepting
them. The government should
take its own money for all that
the citizen owes, everywhere.

Compressed air Is advertised as
having made the rifle with elec-
tricity and got away with the pres
emit motor. The people of this
country will not be slow to believe
that most anything can be made
out OF wind after the results in
Sherman and in st. Louis and in
congress are recalled. The only
question Is about the Harvesting OF
that wind to do duty. Compressed
air is all right, but the trouble In
the majority of cases is that it is
not compressed or repressed.

Jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 12.-The board

endorsement of the sub-treasury project
at Savannah No meeting of the board of
trade was held to-day, but several promi-
nent members, among them eX-President
j. s. Fairhead, advocated that Jackson
Vile make an effort to secure the sub
treasury herself.
Shortly a committee will leave for
Washington in an effort to secure an ad-
ditional appropriation for the improve
ment of the river, and his plan is TO en-
trust to this committee the urging of
Florida's claims for the sub-treasury. His
argument is that Florida by virtue of her
immense contribution in the way of in
ternal revenues should receive sufficient
consideration to be entitled to a reward in
the shape of a sub-treasury If it is found
that Jacksonville can't get ii, then the
weight of this body will be thrown to Sa-
Vannah, because a subAtreasury there
would be of more benefit to Florida than
if 1t were in Charleston. This is an ar
gument that has perhaps escaped Savan-
