The leading editorial III Senator But
leis paper to-day has this heading
Capital. 4 Sneak and a Liar" It Is
written by the State editor. who in II
says he called the special attention OF
tho joint Finance Committee Of the Leg
iSlaiure to 4 plan 10 secure revenue from
hidden wealth this being that every
Note, bond or mortgage representing Il
solvent credit should show that it had
been listed for taxation ny some certifi-
dence II should be non collectuble by
law" And so this extraordinary soc
zion appears in the 'machinery act
introduced last night by the committee.
The chairman Of the House branch says
positively that the committee ordered
this part stricken out. yet there it is In
the act. The editorial in Senator But

made to show some evidence OF its state

The Governor, the Republicans and boil
ters say, Is tying to play the boss, but
can't boss anybody, anu is a Governor
without 4 party unless II be the Butler
l'opuliS.s. Such We're the drclaratio
openly made to-day. Senator Grant used
me later part OF the phase himself. and
THIS shows how widely apart he and the
ioveino: have drifted. Grant holds
