With the exception OF w. f. Junkins,

D. Searight, G. H. Repath, Prof. Rhyner,
and several lesser lights.
The meeting was called to order by F.
G. Heldt, with G. O. Mcfarland acting
as temporary secretary. A committee,
appointed at previous meeting, SUBJ
mitted constitution, which was adopt
ed. The document provides for the
usual officers, pledges the members to
do all in their power to secure the elec-
tion Of Mckinley and Hobart, but says
nothing regarding the state and county
ticket. 1t also provides that the
club room shall be kept open during the
campaign from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. and

nornced that the list included, all told

pointed to circulate the list through the

Henry Labouchoge, the plain
spoken editor Of the London Truth,
touches on the Castle affair as fol-
lows;
"On the morning Of Mrs. Castles
nentsnoe 9 sesmsress and a govern.
ea5 were sentenced at the same SEES
sion to nine years and six months
hard labor for stealing fur necklof,
and neither had ever been previous
" convicted. The gov6rness tainted
at the sentsnce. Ne medical experts
testified that they were kleptomani.
scs. No eminent counsel suggested
that they would suffer in health by
confinement; no one pitied them and
no one signed petition to the homo
secretary to shorten their sentence.
Whist matters how a poor, fainting
governess, or halt-starved seam
stress suffers? Give them hard labor
and plenty of it. What if their
hyalth is injured. Let them die.
Let Mrs. Castle out of prison, Sir
Matthew White Ridley, she has
moved in the best circles and she
had no need to steal; but do not re-
duce the sentence Of the aeamstress
and governess by single day. The
best circles know them well. They
are poor and helpless, which, in the
opinion of self,respeoting persons, ia

More of Weyler's Inhumanity.

II Weyler were as valiant at fight
ing as he is cruel in lis admiuistra-
tive practices, the war in Cubs would
in all probability be near its end at

defeated tire insurgents or be himself
driven from the island, more likely
the latter. His latest order is the
very refinement OF cruelty. He 10

and he has commanded the entire
rural population to move into the
fortified towns. All who fail to do
SO will be regarded as rebels or rabsl

ton. The inhumanity of this decree
will be appreciated when it is re-
membsred that these people have ab-
solutely no means and that their only
livelihood must be derived from what
they can grow on their little patches
Of land. Ii they leave these and go
into the towns they have nothing
with which to buy subsistence; even
if they had, the scarcity OF provisions
in the towns is such that the people
now residing there can got barely
enough to satisfy their wants. Wey-

less than a condition bordering on
famine for the whole population Of

The progressive inheritance tag,
astabli.hed ny the J. beral Ministry in
England in 1894, has yielded an even
larger revenue than Sir william Har-
court estimated. Tae Revenue Gem
mlesioners have just published IN
analysis OF the retlrns for the last
fiscal year. These show total res-
oauo Of nearly $4,000, goo, as against
les than $3o,oo0,ooO from similar
sourc under this old law. The emily
disappointing feature Of the new act
is the relatively emall return from
real estate. Under the old law
framed by the landed aristooracy real
estate was practically exempt When
Sir William Harcourt'a act OF 1894
gu3 an end to this unjust discrinina-
ion, tue conservative landlords
pleaded for 8 concession IN the form
Of q grant from the National Treasury
to lessen the local taxes resting upon
their property. They have obtsined
g graft OF sl0,000,000 a year, and
this turns out to be more than all She
taxes paid by real estate, city sad
country, under Sir William Harcourt's
act. Only one. fifth OF the properly
in the estates admitted to probate
last year was realty; fOur-ifShs was
personality. Thia disproportionate
amount of personality was probably
due TO the vsss aggregate OF foreign
bonds and STOCKS held il Crest
Britain. Despite this one disappoint-
ment to the friends of the new asst, it
Ia perhaps the most successful pro.
greasiva tax ever levied. The Com
missioner's returns show the amount
Of property subject to the different
rates of duty, which vary from less
than one per cent on estates less than
G1OO to eight per cent on estates ex-
ceeding Ct, 100000. From this table
the tax psil by each class is easily
reckoned. In condensed form the
results are as follows:

Bradstreet's on the Situation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
Jobbers and other wholesale deal
ers in general merchandise do not
report the anticipated increase in the
volume of goods distributed this
week. There are increased purchases
for holiday goods and the tone of the
market for staples is one OF encour-
agement. Relatively the hssviest
demand has been for dry goods, shoes
and groceries, bat even in these lines,
particularly dry goods, the volume
has been smaller than expected, and
disappointment is q result. The
many industrial enterprises which
have storted up continue featare of
each days news bulletip, but there is
reason TO believe the significance of
these exhibits has been over empha-
sized in some instances.

tween those ages that young men and
women need the influence and guard
isnship of education and neral sur
roundings. 1t is the age during
which character is formed, and all
the statistics indicate that after this
age is passed crimes are rarely com
mitted."
Mr.. Turner says the pardcning
board has done good work in reliev.
ing the penitentiary of prisoners who
ought to have bssu pardoned, and he
thinks there are other prisoners who
are worthy of clemency. He recon.
mends the creation Of a permanent
board ofpardons.
The report shows that the daily
cost OF convist hire to the lessees is
less than three cents day. The
principal keeper says concerning the
disposition of the conviots:
81 am still of the opinion embodied
in my last report about the final dis.
position of the oonvicts, aud that it
would be dangerous and unwise to
place them upon the public roads or
congregate them within walls"
To reach a wise conclusion the
principal keeper recommends that
the legislature create a commission
to examine all the penal systems Of
the United States and report to the
next session of the legislature with
suggestions.
Mr.. Turner, in speaking of the in
speotiOn of convict camps, highly
commends Assistant Keeper j. G.

loudly for help time and again, but

there was great deal up snd began
to bark loudly. AS he would sit be-

would then run around the house

LAWMAKERS METZ.
Several Important Bills Were
Tufr0d,road T.nst vVaaIr.


Several Important Bills Were
Introduced Last Week.
The legislature has at last got
through with the election OF judges,
solicitors and United States senator,
and have ssttled down 10 law-making.
Among the Important bills inro'
duc9d is new election Law by Repre-
sentative Tom Fielder. While this
bill processes to be bulls on the
model of the Australian ballot law, it
places the entire election machinery
in the hands OF the dominant party
and is designed to keep thst party in
power. Ii the bill passes in its preBnt
shape, it viii add immensely to the
cost Of holding elections.
Senotor Turner has introduced q
bill to abolish Iafrooms and prohibi
the manufacture and sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors in the State for baver-
age purposes.
The bill is very similar to the Bush
bill that failed to secure a majority
in the last legislature.
Mr.. Turner'S bill is bound to fai',
the eyes Of quite zoo many Democrats
were opened, during the recent cam.
paign, to the beauties Of 'loosl
option" 10 give it ghost OF chance.
Senator Strotber has q bill before
the Senate, requiring the State to
furnish school books for the children
Of Georges at cost. The book trust
will hardly allow the bill to become
law.
Senator Carter is on the war~path
against free passes. He is the father
of a bill prohibiting railroads from
giving free passes or Other special
privileges to public officials. 1t is an
important bill and aimed at great
evil, but there are too many polite
JAMS with said free passes IN thsir
pockets to suffer the bill to become a
law.
Urclo Bob Hardeman has bill
before tde house TO plsoe q special
tax sor school purposes.
The purpose CT the bill is to pro
vide bettar school houseq, better
teachers and longer terms Tor tbs
coantry schools. The bill does not
