who cannot read English, forgot that

GERMANS Bold GAME,

Trying to Force Russia to Declare
Openly Against Turkey Or Greece.
London, June 1.-The correspondent
of the Standard at Constantinople says
that the prevalent opinion there is
that Germany is playing a bold game
in order to force Russia to declare
openly either for OF against Turkey.
According to dispatch to the News
from Odessa there is revival of the
report that Russia is negotiating with
Turkey to get port in the Mediter-
ranean. 1t is also rumored that when
peace between Greece and Turkey is
concluded Russia will demand the ex-
elusive privilege of free passage for
her feet through the Bosphorus and
the Darl2nelles.
The correspondent at Athens says
the Greeks are greatly encouraged by
the runl0r that Il navy contractor has
received an order to provision the
British feet of forty men-of-war to be
concentrated at Phalerum.

Important Decision.

An important declaration of the
principal upon which the taxes may
be levied by the estates upon the in
tangible property or assets of corpor-
ations has been made by the supreme
court of the United States. The ques-
ton arose in the cases of the Hender-
son Bridge company and the Adams
Express company, which corporations
had appealed respectively from the
judgment of the supreme court of
Kentucky and the court of appeals
for the Sixth circuit sustaining the
assessment of taxation made against
them in Kentucky. Tie supreme
court of the United States also sus-
tanned the assessments. Similar ques-
tions also arose in the states of Ohio
and Indiana. In the course of on
opinion read by Justice Brewer, from
which Justices Field, Harlan, and
Brown dissented, the court held that
while state conld not by q tax or
license establish privilege within its
borders for the transaction of inter-
state commerce, the state could tax
the facilities with which that
commerce was transacted. That there
was intangible property of taxable
value, said Justice Brewer, there
could be no doubt, and that state
might tax this as we'll as horses and
wagons could not be questioned. The
Adams Express officers stated that
the capital stock of the company was
worth at least $16,sOO,000. If it was
worth that much to the owners for
the purpose of income and sale it was
worth as much for purposes of tax
alton. The company said it possess
ed 1900, 900 worth of tangible proper
ty, and the only question in the case
was as to the site of the $4,000, 900
worth of intangible property. He did
not believe it could all be located at
the place of the principal Office of the
company. 1t went wherever the fran
chise of the company to be and do
went, and wherever the property
used in business went. If the
states should withdraw the privilege
of doing business within it's limits,
the value of the capital stock would
shrivel to nothing. The majority of
the court, said Justice Brewer, in con-
clusion, thought that corporations
have their property protected in the
several states and permitted to do
business therein should pay in those
states tax on all their property pro-
portioned to the mileage of the routes
covered by them in the respective
states.-Minneapolis Evening Press.

The Government Seed Dlstribu-
finn.

II There is any thing that needs lop-
ping off more than the expense OF the
free government distribution OF seeds
we are not aware what it may be.
The seeds are not of good variety
as q rule, come without direction in
regard to cultivation, 42,5OO packages
have been the quota allowed to each
senator and representative in con-
gress, making from twenty to thirty
millions of packages sent out under
congressional frank through the
mails free, helping largely to create
the deficit in postal revenues. The
improved varieties of seeds fare the
result of the labor and care OF the
seedmen of the country and the
choice varieties are not likely to be
given to the government by them,
but instead some inferior article
to tickle NJ. C's constituents. There
is no:more sense or justice in send
ing out seeds than would be in send
ing out churns, or washing machines
or paper for the publishers of news
papers.
We hope our congressman and oul
senators have been in political life
long enough that they will not neee
to continue this frand upon the coun
try as sort of bride for supper
from their constituents. Wipe gu
the free seed distribution entirely
is useless expenditure of publi
money-or else spread the molasse

and thread and pincushions, 'brushe

and razors to the barbers-indeed

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
The Third House.

In all the legislation of this coun-
try, whether state or federal, the lob
by seems to be the controlling power.
True it has no vote and is not right
fully upon the floor in any legislative
body. But it has met senators and
representative elsewhere, explained
the objects of the particular measures
the lobbyist is interested in; has given
the member fine Havana and per-
haps cracked bottle of champagne
during the explanation of the meas
ure desired, and in this way and by
such methods are destroying repre-
sentative government, the persons
elected to serve the people uncon-
ciously surrendering to these insidi-
GUS approaches and their influence.
The bnilding and loan association
which procured its legislation for the
small sum of $4,000 or there abouts,
it must be remembered is but one OF
a class that infest legislative bodies.
The school book trust has its LOBBY
the railroads another; the liquor in
teres t another; the insurance
another; the oil inspection another;
the express companies another. In
deed there is no phase or feature OF
legislation but has it's lobby and
every one is against the public inter
est, and in behalf of some species OF
class legislation.
This is the true situation Of rep
resentative government in the
United States today. The remedy if
there is one, is the initiative and the
referendum. Have every law voted
upon the entire people to be affected
by it's provisions.

Back to First Principles.

The supreme court has just decided
railroad case that Is likely to bring
up some new complications just as
soon as the railroads can lay the
ground work. The supreme court of
the United States holds that law
passed by the New York legislature
to prohibit the heating of passenger
cars with stoves is constitutional.
The railroad claimed that as it haul
ed the cars across state lines the leg
islature had no right to legislate on
the subject, it being matter of in
terstate commerce. The decision of
the court is that the state has a
right to act, congress having failed
to act upon it. This seems to be re-
turn to former positions held by the
courts. If the railroad position had
been held good it would have been
impossible to regulate them in any
way save by national legislation. A
spur track across state line would
result in rendering state helpless.
A case in point is: Nebraska has en-
acted law requiring all freight cars
to be equipped with automatic brakes
and safety couplers by certain date

The late Edwards Pierrepont, of
New York, was member of Gen.
Grants cabinet, and after that min

number of the North American Re-
view in in 1880, he published a very
able article on free coinage of silver,
from which the following is an ex
tract:

and useful industry, no greater calem-
ity can happen than tight money

cot all the subtle devices which the
wit of man has contrived to despoil
the community of their property,
nothing equals the continuance of
laws which limit the currency to gold
and require all debts to be paid in
that legal tender money.
money is not commodity. Wheat
is, but wheat is not a legal tender and
will not pay debts. Thomas Barring
mentions the fact that in 1864 a mer-
chant in Calcutta possessing 10000
pounds in gold became bankrupt be-
cause he could not change it for sill
yer rupees, the only legal tender in
Calcutta.
"Give free coinage to gold and sill
yer both. Upon the coin and bullion
issue legal tender notes of such de-
nominations as we need, and those
engaged in honest calling may defy
the extortioners to cause strlngency
lasting eight and forty hours.

at great expense, and the product is
always limited; imitation comes of pa

only determined by the printing
