Pennsylvania is one of the two
states of the Union having no chattel
mortgage laws, Louisiana being the
other. The former state now pro-
poses to place such a law on the
statute books in order to facilitate
business. 1t is opposed by some
short-sighted persons who fancy that
they discover in it a scheme to op-
press debtors, but in reality the chat
tel mortgage is of benefit to the poor

Congressman Cochran of Missouri
has introduced in the House q bill
providing for the submission of a
constitutional amendment to the
Legislatures of the states, which will
declare an income tax not a direct
tax and give Congress the power
to impose it. Any constitutional
amendment, however deserving, has
a hard row to hoe, and the fate OF
the Cochran proposition, which is
wholly undeserving, can readily be
surmised. The income tax question
has been disposed of and efforts to
resuscitate it will be futile.

1t has come to light why Tennessee

Turner in another term. They we're

fraud, and so they took up a man

cause he will not do as the Demo

badger him and make his life a bur-

cratic party will come to the front.

ADVICE TO AMERICANS
YANKEE LIMOGES CRITICISED BY A

Thinks They Should Heed the AdmO-
milton, Don't Monkey with the

HAVANA, May 26-El Diario de la Ma
rina, in leading editorial to-day, says:
I'VE see in the American newspapers evil
dence that there are certain social classes
in the United States not sufficiently alive
to the Importance of the advice, Don't
monkey with the lions tail These classes
are remarkable for the eagerness with
which they invade jurisdiction in affairs
which, like the Cuban war, are exclusively
the affairs of Spain The persistence with
which they recognize the belligerency of
the insurgents is crazy and ridiculous The
important conservative interests of the
United States should not forget that the
patience of Spain may soon become eX-
hausted. The Spanish government has
given abundant proofs of its good will by
ignoring the many inconvenience that have
been caused by resolutions in Congress.
Those interests ought to be thankful TO us
for our abnegation. We have suffered. But
in case the sword should be unsheathed
Spain would certainly not be the heaviest
loser in the fight. Spain has sent 100000
men to Cuba to settle domestic difficulty.
What would she not do in the event of a
foreign war with the nation which for a
century has abused our patience by lgnor-
ing Spanish honor and chivalry? President
Mckinley should consider this carefully,
and if ne is to deal with us as enemies let

THE RIO GRANDE FLOOD.
Many Houses at FL Paso Washed
Away, and Juarez in Danger.

Ell PASO, Tex, May 26.-The Rio Grande
continues to rise and an army of men are
strung out on Sixth street working on the
new levee that was thrown up Monday
night when the old levee broke. This morn
ing at 10 clock all the bells in Juarez were
rung to call out the people to check break
in the Juarez levee and the Mexican troops
stationed in Juarez were put to work TO
save the Mexican end of one of the inter-
national street-car bridges, the approaches
to which were being washed out by the
water. The bridge was saved as was also
the Juarez leYee.
AT noon to-day the levee in front of City
Recorder G. Il. PattersOn's residence broke.
The waters rushed into the house, almost
drowning the recorder and d friend who
was with him. Mr.. Patterson had just
moved his family out. His pretty residence
was washed away together with a dozen
other houses in the neighborhood. Every
wagon in FL Paso is engaged moving peo-
pie from parts of the city endangered by
the flood. Several hundred poor Mexican
citizens who resided on the river front
have had their houses washed away and
are camping out vacant lots. Many OF
them did not have an opportunity to save
their bed clothing but barely escaped with
their lives from their crumbling adobe
houses. So far as can be learned no human
lives were lost in the food.
It is feared that the lei Paso-street levee
will break tonight. If so a portion of the
business part of the city will be flooded.
