CAN THIS ZEE TRUEa

y report prevails in Washington, ac-
cording 10 dispatch from that city to
the New York Sun that because of the
answer made by Representative Talbert
of South Carolina to the resolution Of
censurc offered by Representative Bar
rett, In the House, 4 few days since.
South Carolina is likely To lose three
and possibly five of her Congressman
who are already seated. but whose
seats are contested.
The story runs that before the contro-
versy between the gentlemen named, it
was understood that three of the sitting
members ana probably the whole five
would be confirmed, but since the con-
troversy the Committee on Elections
has suddenly changed it's views on the
subject. and 1t is not unlikely that the
whole FIVE will be unseated.
Now, If these reports be true, and the
latter decision of the committee has
been reached because OF Representative
Talherts uttcrances on the occasion re-
ferred to. The Virginlan does not hest
tate to say that the men who are the
movers In the scheme are q disgrace TO

THE GOVERNMENTS REVENUE.

The New York Herald OF n recent date
undertook to show, ana did show. that
the governments revenue under the
present tariff is greater than under the
Mckinley bill. 1t says:
Under the Wilson law the revenue
especially that derived from tariff du-
ties, Is all that is now needed for an eco
homical administration of the affairs of
the government IL the receipts are still
below the expenditures, let Congress cut
down the many needless appropriations
and practice little economy, which
all classes of the people are now compel
ed TO do"
This is sound logic and should be
needed. Let Congress practice n little
econ ?my where economy is needed. ana

Lapland cleared from the custom house

Si,023 pieces of the best spruce lumber

Governor Thornton is to be CON-
mended for the course he is taking to
bring the criminal class of this Terri
tory to justice, but in his zeal in this,
has he not oyer reached his authority
somewhat in granting such far reach
ing pardons to some of the worst
criminals ever confined within the
walls of the Territorial prisonp To
pardon a criminal Of the crime OF
which he has been convicted, is within
the authority of the governor, but %
grant him full pardon of all crimes
whatsoever, committed previous to
his incarceration, is assuming au-
thority away beyond that implied in
the power which the constitution gave

Manufacturers of other Sarsaparillas
