IN PORTLAND JAIL.
Mr.. Corbett of Brunswick, Won't Pay His
Taxes-He Considers Himself Prosecuted.

An elderly man man OF vigorous appear
ance, smooth shaven, with somewhat
Webstsrian cast of oountenance, and
wearing tightly buttoned double breast
ed frock coat rather the worse for wear;
that is Geo. S. Corbett, the Brunswick
man, who has been week in Portland
Jail because he wouldn't pay his taxes to
the village corporation. Mr.. Corbett was
once school teacher and is understood to
be man of some property.
The gray walls of the Portland Jail
have, first and last, sheltered many in
teresting characters, but few of its in
mates have been put behind it's bars for
the cause which Mr.. Corbett of Bruins
there are many people in Brunswick who
deny that Mr.. Corbett is in any sense q
martyr and say that he is aotuated by
motives not supposed to be compatible
with martyrdom. Mr.. Corbett stated his
side of the case when he said Saturday:
"My object was attained, sir, when
prison door closed behind me. I told
them that should resist to the last what
considered persecution" and Mr..
Corbett drew himself up as defantly as
ever did the other Corbett who is known
to fame, when he faced an antagonist
in the ring.
The refusal of Mr.. Corbett to pay his
taxes, p as he stated Saturday, is based
on two grounds. One is that tho Bruins
wick village corporation is body Illegal
~ constituted, and the other that, even
were its formation legal. it has no right
to require Mr.. Corbett to pay a poll tax
after the town of Brunswick has already
assessed one poll tax. "The amount of
| the tax" said Mr.. Corbett, lis mere
trife. rendered them property which
| they might have taken as they could take

suppose they preferred this way. 1t
| looks to me, sir, like persecution.
| Mr.. Corbett will be remembered as a
| vigorous objector to the assessing OF taxes
to pay for the sewer system in Bruins
wick sswhen heE agued at length to prove
| that the village corporation was not
legal, but that, he says, was only side
issue. He came to Jail for principle.
Mr.. Corbett's statement of his attitude is
not that given by the Brunswick people
who say that he has been an obJector for
the sake of making trouble and has been
leinently treated. He is now in jail on
collectors warrant as delinquent

when asked as to what he should do, but

SHORT SESSIONS
THE PROPER THING
Senator Mcmillan Says
That Congress Should
Not Delay.
Favors the Passage of the
Dingley Bill As Soon as
Possible.
Revenues Adequate to Meet the Ex.
penseS of the Government Must
Be Created at Once.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 21.-Sen-
ator Mcmillan of Michigan, in response
to a request by United Associated
Presses representative. makes the follow
ing statement, in which he takes strong
grounds favoring as short sessions of Con-
gress as possible ana the passage OF the
Dlngley bill at once. BE says:
For the past four years the business
interests of this country have been in a
continuous state of uncertainty and dis.
turbance due very largely to legislative
action, or inaction. Business men could
not look into the future with that degree
OF confidence absolutely necessary for sue
cess in their undertakings, because they
could not foresee what legislation would
be enacted in regard to either the tariff or
finances. More than this the constant
drift toward single standard Of silver,
coupled with revenues inadequate to the
expenses of the Government, led to sharp
contractions in the volume of money seek
ing investment.
The recent election has established the
policy of m maintaining at parits all the
different kinds of money in use in this
country, and to that extent has quieted
the apprehensions OF those who feared
that money loaned would be returned, il
at all, in deprecated medium. The cap
ital of the world has thus become once
more at the disposal of our industries, un-
less some new alarm shall again close the
purse-strings.
''Such alarm can be created most easily
by continued sessions OF Congress when
business needs nothing but non-interfer-
ence by legislation. AT the same time
revenues adequate to support the Gov
ernment must be provided In order to
prevent the withdrawal of gold necessary
to maintain the parity of the various
kinds of money.
sin my judgment the best thing that
could possibly happen would he the pass
age OF the Dingley bill, modified in some
respects, perhaps, at the coming session of
Congress, and no extra session. This re-
suit. ii reached at all, can be attained
only by union of the sound-money Sem
ators on both sides of the Senate, the end
being simply to obtain sufficient revenue,
which is not party question.
"Republican success in the pivotal
States of the Middle West was attained by
the sound-money men and they are
entitled To be consulted. But if the reve-
nues shall be thus increased the financial
question may be safely left until the new
Secretary of the Treasury can present to
Congress an adequate plan for making
such reforms or changes as may be neces-
sary TO place the monetary system in good
working order.
''The country is now in condition to
make rapid strides commercially, and it
would be the worst possible policy for
Congress to place obstacles in the way Of
rapid recovery by creating fresh alarms.
Therefore the shorter the time Congress is
in session the better"

Therefore Montana Miners Are Ia no
Hurry to Go on Strike.
BUTTE, MoNT,, Nov. 21.-The report
from Denver and Leadville that there
would be general strike of miners in
Montana out of sympathy with the Lead
vile strikers is denied by officers of the
Butte Miners Union ard by officers of
the Western Federation of Miners. They
say that such a strike would be worse
than useless and would involve Montana
in trouole from which the miners could
hope TO gain nothing.
The report that the mine-owners in
tended to reduce wages 80 cents day is
also discredited. The Butte Miners
Union has sent $4,000 to the Leadville
strikers and message has been received
urging President Boice and the execu-
tive com mittee of the Western Fedora
ton to go to Leadville at once and they
left to-day. The reason for the urgent
