A NICE QUESTION
Which Brandy Owners Think Is
Rather Nasty

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-THE in
ternal revenue officials have had nice
question Of internal revenue law put to
them on account Of the burning of the
ship Francie off the coast of New Jer-
sey last Saturday. On the ship were
200, 900 gallons Of California wine and
20 900 gallons of California brandy. On
the brandy there Is a tax of 81. 10 gallon
The brandy was being transferred from
a bonded warehouse In this city to one
in the East and Lachman & Co., and
others in this city, who owned the
brandy, gave bonde that they would
deliver 1t to bonded warehouse in the
East. Having failed to do SO, they are
technically liable for $32, 900 tax. 1t Is
q question for the Commissioner to de-
termine, and as 1t is not known here
whether any of the brandy was saved
from the fire. Lachman & Co. will be
compelled to file complaint.

Butit is peculiarly appropriate
that a party which wins its battles

rigid research and active education
against its fallac;es. There is no
excuse for the schedule levying a

to be obtained by it is too small for
consideration compared to the
great benefits to be obtained by
making education easier instead of
harder to obtain. It is protection

THE TRUTH REVEALED.

The Oregonian Is peculiar 1t
tells the truth about its republican
confederates only when it gets mad.
During the campaign, it will be re
menbered, the 0regouian was very
generous in its praise of the mas
terly genius of Marcus Aureiius
Hanna, the mana ger of Mckinley
from the latter's candidacy for the
nomination to the time he took his
seat. Nothing was too good for
Mark. Now, when Hanna puts his
finger into Carbett's senatorial pie,
the Oregonian blurts out the truth
in the following pointed language:
Mr.. Hanna, it is understood,
opposes the seating of Mr.. Corbett,
oil the ground that refusal 10 seat
him is the way to force the COVER
nor Of Oregon to cali special
session of the legislature, and thus
get republican senator for a full
term. 1t may be feared that Mr.
Hanna, since he appears to think
he has a right to be dictator over
tiregon, is rs badly mistaken IN
his matter rs he Is to the condi-
tfon of things in Ohio. Oregon IS
not worrying about ths seat in the
senate, and that is not the question
which the governor is likely to con
slider, in relationsto a special ses-
sion. The only reason for calling
"a special session-should one ever
be calied-woufd be found in the
business affairs of the state. Mr..
Hanna is likely to find that be
cannot dictate from Washington
or from Ohio a special session Of
the legislature of Oregon. Besides,
1t is very evident that Mr.. Hanna's
own affairs need his attention. He
is now :: senator by appointment.
but he never will be a senator by
election. His successor in the
senate will certainly be democrat
TIE people do not like the traffic
agent and the mere juggler IN
politics. Mr.. Hanna is one of those
politicians and states men who
have no principles or convictions
that cannot be accommodated to the
desire of success. This is the rea-
son why his political career ii /
Ohio will be short. He will be
senator till next January only. +
Ohio will sfeW him out.

a TAX on ENLIGHTENMENT

When Nelson Dinglev framed
his tariff bill he provided for a tax
on those who struggled for an edu-
cation. Tn his bill lie placed a
schedule that takes from scholar
ship a share of its richly mcrited
rewards, and placed tacit premium
on ignorance. There is not now,
nor was there ever a time in the
history of the government, save
during the war, when there was an
excuse for a tariff tax on school
apparatus, text books and scientific
works. During the war, when
every man, woman and child was
called upon to make some sacri-
fees, there was tariff tax placed
on books. No one objected to 1t
then, for it was a measure to pro
vide the sinews of war. But in
these days Of profound peace, when
we are boasting of our educational
institutions and pointing with
pride to the ease with which all
may acquire an education, to place
a tax upon school books and school
apparatus is little short Of criminal
1t virtually places q premium oa
Ignorance by making it more diff
fcult to secure the accessories to
an education.
