UNDERWOOD SANGUINE.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 27.-Congress-
man Underwood of the Ninth Alabama
District is the leader of the movement
for the location of Government armor
plate plant in the Southern States, and it
was largely through his influence that
the Secretary Of the Navy was induced to
send the special armor plate board South
TO investigate this sections qualification
in favor OF the production of armor plate.
Congressman Underwood will endeavor
to have provision attached to either the
Naval Appropriation or to the Sundry
Civil Bill for the erection Of an armor
plate plant to be located at Birmingham.
He has been in correspondence with nu-
merous Western and Southern members
OF Congress, and says he finds that vast
majority will support measure Of this
kind. Mr.. Underwood is very sanguine
OF success In his undertaking.

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH"

The Cuban constitutional assembly,
which recently met at Camaguey to re-
model the constitution and elect a new
president, says among other things.
Independence or death is, and shall
be the unalterable and sacred motto of
the Cubans. The Cubans have not re-
sorted to arms in order to obtain any po-
litical measure which does not once and
for all solve the Cuban question. That is
the reason we will accept nothing short
Of absolute independence.

MCKINLEY AND THE CURRENCZ.

Whether the president will do anything
to aid the cause Of currency reform, in
which the country is now so deeply inter-
ested is the subject of much conjecture.
President Mckinley started out with
brave promises Of devotion to currency
reform. In his inaugural address he re-
ferred to it as one of the subjects which
should receive the eerly attention of con-
gress, and thus led the public to believe
that he would persist in urging legisla-
tion to simplify our complex currency
system and to maA it safer and more
satisfactory.
But few days after he went into office
President Mckinley seemed to forget all
about currency reform. He ignored it in
his message to congress on its assembling
and it has been stated recently that he
has concluded to drop it entirely for the
present

COMPTROLLER REYNOLDS RULES
'ONTAX CERTIFICATEMATTERS

Tallahassee, Nov. 24.-Comptroller w.
II. Reynolds has made the following rul-
ings relative to tax certificates, redemp-
tions, tax sales, etc.
"a tax certificate Is transferable by en-
dorsement, and should be properly class
ed as a negotiable instrument; hence,
when lost, 1t can only be established by
the courts. The law provides that "on
the presentation Of such certificate or GER
tificates Of sale, the clerk OF the circuit
court, or his deputy, after the expiration
Of time provided by law in this act for the
redemption Of lands sold as aforesaid, I'M
less the same have been redeemed he
shall execute to the purchaser or his
heirs or assigns, deed of the land there
in certified, unless he shall have reason
to believe that the taxes for that year had
been paid before the SALE" This contem-
plates "the presentation OF such certif-
cate" and where the certificate is lost, it
will be necessary to have it established
by the courts before the clerk can pro-
coed as the law directs.
The law provides that "any person, or
agent OF such person, may, at any time
within two years next succeeding the sale
redeem any parcel of said land or part.
or interest in the same, by paying to the
Clerk of the Circuit Court the amount
for wh ich sucb naroal xpao onlJ.or s,ob
portion thereof as the part, or interest re-
deemed shall amount to-with interest
thereon at the rate of twenty-five per cent
per annum and fifty cents redemption
fees" This limits the rights Of redemp-
tion through the Clerk of the Circuit
Court within two years next succeeding
the sale, Section 81, Chapter 1922, Laws
OF Florida. All certificates as to which
the period of redemption-twoy years from
date Of salc-has passed, when held by
the State and not redeemed, are held by
the State Treasurer subject to sale and
all applications therefor must be made
direct to him.
The State is responsible only for the
publishers charge for advertising the
lands actually sold to the state. and for
which certificates are made out in the
name of the State treasurer. The cost of
publication Of land sold to individuals or
withdrawn from sale on account of the
payment Of the taxes to the tax collector,
must be collected from the tax collector.

with the afr OF man who knows it all,
comes forward, however, to declare in his
oracular fashion that the president twill
urge upon congress the passage Of a sin
gle simple measure to repeal the existing
law which compels the secretary of the
treasury to pay out greenbacks as fast as
they are redeemed with gold, and also to
provide that greenbacks, when once re-
deemed, shall not be reissued, except
against deposits of gold equal in amount
to the notes paid out"
Let us hope that Mr.. Smalley really
knows what he is talking about, and that
President Mckinley has had the nerve to
brush aside those dangerous counsellors
who have been trying to induce him to
adopt do-nothing currency policy.-At-
lanta Journal.

your attention to the following laws:
Chapter No. 1922 as amended by the act
of the legislature of 1897. (See CHI. 45l5.)
Section Is provides that: Between the
first day of January and the first day OF
July in each year, the assessor in each
county shall ascertain by dill
igent inquiry, the names of all taxable
persons in his county
Section IA provides: That poll tax OF
one (sl.OO dollar shall be levied upon each
male person over the age Of 81 years old
and under the age OF So years, except such
as have lost limb in battle, which tax
shall be paid into the county school fund,
and shall be collected when taxes on the
property are collected.
Section Is also provides: That person.
al property shall be responsible for the
taxes on real estate, and real estate shall
be responsible for taxes on personal prop
erty, and BOTH SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR A POLL TAY.
Section 16 makes it the duty of the tax
assessor to set down in the assessment
book in separate columns according to
the best information he can obtain. First
the name of the person subject to the poll
tax and the number of the
election district.
Section AZ says: All taxes shall be due
and payable on or after the first Monday
of November, Of each and every year, and
the collector is hereby vested with the
power and it shall be his duty to collect
by levy and sale of the goods and chat.
ties, lands and tenements assessed, al
taxes that remain unpaid on the first
Monday in April.

OREGON AND FLORIDA.

The Senate OF the next Congress must
decide for Oregon case In which Florida
has lively interest. Mr.. Corbett OF that
State claims seat under the appoint
ment of the governor, and Florida has
two votes on the question-how should
they be cast? Happily, no question Of
politics In the matter can interfere with
the abstract justice Of the case. As to the
right Of each State to equal representa-
ton, there can be no doubt. In time Of
heated political conflict there have been
decisions pro and con, but 1t is high time
that the principle be established and pre-
cedent set. There can be no better time
than the present, and no fairer case than
that of Oregon, which has been and may
be again that Of Florida.
When an interregnum occurs, should
the ad interim appointment Of the Cover
nor be accepted as qualification to seat
in the Senate? Florida has consistently
held that it should, her people, her courts
and her Governors have all taken this
view of the law, which is consistent with
the equal rights of the States in that
chamber and with the plain spirit Of the
Federal Constitution. This acceptation
OF the law has never been denied, though
several times advantage has been taken
of technicalities to thwart or traverse its
plain purpose. A principle should be vim
dicated and precedent set that will be
authority for the future, and remove the
question from the domain Of controversy.
The interest Of Florida In Oregon's case
Is plain. For good reason our Legislature
sits in the spring, and at the end of each
Senatorial term there must be an inter-
regnum, so that Florida is deprived of her
legal representation-it may well be at a
time most important to her interests. She
should feel, therefore, a sympathy in the
Oregon case strong enough to bridge the
continent between the two oceans, and
teach her to make common cause with her
sister of the setting sun. We believe her
people will so read her duty to herself,
and we know her representatives in Wash
ington will voice the wishes OF their con-
stituents. Both Of them are Of us and
with us; they will'feel no hesitation ex-
cepl as they may be in doubt as to the
feeling of their constituents. What does
the State press say? We believe no truer
pypOnont of DOpular INDICTMENT could he
found, and we believe the issue to be
made is of sufficient importance to bring
out an expression. We have already had
Senators calling in vain at the door of the
Senate chamber for permission to repre-
sent sovereign State, and Florida should
do all in her power to insure that such a
spectacle be henceforth impossible

The question has been asked: who are

whether or not the payment Of same can

they are not registered, and do not vote,
therefore are not liable for this poll tax.

A BACK NUMBER,

Archbishop Hennessey of Dubuque is
very old man. He is back number.
He has not kept up with the procession.
He lacks in genuine Americanism. He
ought to have been retired twenty years
ago. He is stumbling block in the way
of progress. He is still denouncing the
public schools OF the United States ar
goddess and unfit places in which to
educate the youth of the land. Only an
old back number, stumbling book, an
I'M American specimen, would indulge
in such silly twaddle as that in 1897. We
hear no such bright, progressive men as
Archbishop John Ireland initiating the
example of Archbishop Hennessey.
On the contrary they are friends of the
public schools, probably because they
are friends of the United States. When
the Hennesseys and all other bigots who
have stood: Still Tor dfty years and md
growled while the mighty procession of
progress was passing by have gone to the
other shore we shall hear no more such
unwise, unpatriotic, utterly un-American
talk as that INDUCED in by Archbishop
