TAXATION RATHEB THAN BOND
ISSUE.

The Chicago Record, Republican in
politics, advocates taxation rather than
bond issues and says:
The Record is fully in sympathy with
those persons in and out OF congress who
insist that the expenses Of maintaining
the war should be met by additional
taxes rather than by excessive bond is-
sues. The people demanded war with
Spain, and they should bear the expense
entailed, and not saddle 1t upon the
next generation. The people are will.
ing to bear the expense Of the war as 1t
proceeds. 1t may be necessary to
authorize loans for emergency needs,
but for those only. The cost OF the war
shorld be met by the taxpayers OF the
pre- sent, and the war revenue bill should
be framed with that end in view. Taxa
ton and not bond issues should be the
regular means of raising funds for carry
ing on the war.
The Record alec hopes the war reve.
nue. bill now in the senate will be treated
as war measure, and that nothing will
be done to "arouse partisan dissension
and rancor." This is certainly good ad-
vice, and the only regret is that the
dominant administration party in the
house are not actuated by any such
idea. They want more bonds and hence
passed the bill under pressure with the
s5OO, 100000 bond feature, for which
there is no pressing need. There are no
doubt outside parties interested in these
bonds that have a swaying influence
over financial things at Washington, and
there is the danger.
1t is pleasing to see Republican
paper talk as does the Chicago Record.

THE PENDING BOND ISSUE.

The House of Reed has voted to saddle
on the country an indebtedness of $780,
900, in addition to 500, 900, 600
taxes, two.thirds of which is to fall on
consumption, one-third on business, and
not one cent on accumulated wealth
The minority proposed as a substitute,
(l) the coinage OF the silver bullion in
the Treasury, (2) an income tax, (3) the
Issue of OF legal tender notes
The Issue thus made up has gone over
to the Senate, and as the Republicans
and gold Democrats constitute a ma
jority of that body, 1t is to be feared
that the action of the House will be con-
irmed.
The only appeal, then, will be to the
country at the coming elections
There is, there can be no defense of
the bond feature of the bill. 1t is part
Of the grab game of the money power,
pure and simple.
The estimates of the cost of the pend
ing war do not exceed $500, 100000 per
annum. For this there is now an avail
able surplus in the treasury of not less
than 800, 100000. The income tax
would bring another 500, 0,000,0O0. With
an issue of 800, 10000 of legal tender
money, in addition, the sinews of war
would be supplied.
But the Republican demand is for
sl00, 100000 of interest bearing cert fl
Gates, and $500, 600, 900 of bonds. Why
this enormouss demand? And why a
demand for bonds rather than legal
tender money?
There is portentous significance in
this which the country cannot too soon
understand.
An increase OF the currency would help
business aDd enable the people to bear
The weight of additional taxes. A bond
issue will stagnate enterprise, make
times hard, and further impoverish and
enslave our people. The nations ex-
tremity is always the bondholders' op-
portunity!
A bond issue of O,OOO 900 was de-
msnded by Secretary Gage before war
with Spain was dreamed OF. The war,
which has caused no necessity for the
issue of single dollar of bonds, Is made
the pretext for theissue of half a billion.
Thus is the conspiracy Of the bankoc-
racy, to be fulfilled at last. What
thenP The National Banks will be per-
petuated. They will have control Of
whatever additional currency is issued.
All business will be at their mercy.
The merchant and manufacturer will
prove more subservient than ever to the
money power. Fraud, intimidation,
bribery and coercion will be rampant at
every election. The war will be prolong-
ed indefinitely, so as to provide an ex-
cuse for the issue of still more bonds.
Bankocracy and plutocracy will be en-.
trenched in power. The standing army
will be increased, in time of peace, and
liberty buried National Intelligencer.

Governor Bushnell lately recommend

Governor Bushnell lately recommend
ed for appointment as Brigader Gen.
erals two Ohio citizens, both capable
and OF high character, one Of whom is a
Republican, the other Democrat. The
Republican nominee was accepted, but
the Democrat was rejected, and in his
stead was appointed ex-oongressman
Kieifer, who was conspicuous in his eff
forts TO defeat Gov. Bushnell for re-
election and elect Hanna to the Senate.
The appointment as Brigadier General
is considered to come to Gen. Kieder as
a direct reward for his kindly offices in
Hanna's behalf, and his antagonism to
Hanna's ancient enemy, Bushnell.

MILAN IN DARKNESS,
A Veritable Battle Between Rioters anC
Troops In Italy-Hundreds Were
Killed and Injured.

LUCIANO, Switzerland, May 9.-It has
been a terrible Sunday at Milan. About
/ o'clock in the afternoon a veritable
battle occurred in the Via Somtraire.
Thousands Of tiles and chimneys were
hurled from the roofs upon the troops,
who were compelled to retire.
A similar fight took place in the Via
Torino, and it is believed that no fewer
than 800 were killed and 1000 injured.
The gates of the town were held by
troops in the evening and throughout
the night, so that workmen employed
outside were unable to return to their
homes. In this way the rising was de-
prived of additional help from without.
During the night the city was in COM
plete darkness and funereal silence.

1t is gratifying to see that the finance
committee of the Senate which are con-
sidering the revenue bill of the House,
are investigating matters with view of
raising the necessary revenue without
issuing bonds. The Democratic men,
bers of the committee take this position
and Senators Wolcott of Colorado, and
Jones of Nevada, will unite with the
Democrats provided the necessary
money may be otherwise raised.
The Democratic members held a
conference and have agreed upon
an amendment they willofier to
the bill imposing tax of l per
cent upon the revenues OF GER
tain corporations including railroad, ex.
press, sleeping car, telegraph and tele-
phone companies. This probably is the
only addition they will suggest to the
revenue portion of the bill, but it is
probable that they will also urge the
coinage of the silver seigniorage in the
treasury and the issuance of at least
$3.50, 600, 900 in greenbacks.

great traditions of the United States
navy and of his kinship with the race
that produced Nelson.'

SUICIDE OF w. 7. BUCKLEY.
Prominent New York Dry-GOOds Mer-
chant Shoots Himself.

NEW YORK, Jan. civilian i. Buckley,
who until Jan. 1 was a member of the dry
goods firm of Durham, Buckley & Co., shot
and killed himself in little boathouse adj
joining his residence in Wave Crest, l.. l.,
this morning. Placing pistol close to his
left temple he fired a bullet entirely through
his head. He died almost instantly. Mr..
Buckley was about fifty-five years old and
was we'll known in New York business and
social circles. His stable is one of the finest
and most costly on Long island. He was
reputed to be a millionaire and the whole
sale dry goods firm of Durham Buckley &
Co. is known all over the country. He was
member of the Union League, Players, Gen.
fury Merchants, Down Town Association,
Seawanhaka and Corinthian Yacht Clubs,
ROckaWay Hunt Club, Dunlap Society ana

misunderstanding with his partner, James
II. Durham, which resulted in his being
practically forced to retire. Mr.. Durham
said that his former partner had drawn
largely from the business, though not to the
extent of causing an embarrassment to the
firm. When asked what reasons there were
for Mr.. Buckley'S retirement from the firm.
Durham said: Mr.. Buckley was not need
ed in the business and it was thought best
to continue without him. There were, how
ever, no irregularities or pecunlary en-
barrassments in connection with the firm
that led TO his retirement; and / do not
care to rehearSe the reasons that led US
to form the new partnership.

DURRANT's CRIMES.

either with drugs or the criminal use of in
struments. Durrant's crimes, though like
Jacksons and WalIings in one respect, were
more shocking. The California degenerate
lured his victims to q church, deiiled their
bodies and desecrated the holy edifice with
their blood. Then, with rare cunning he
tried to throw the authorities oft his tracks
and later fought against his decreed fate
with such energy and to such purpose that
though his crimes were committed nearly
three years ago, and his sentence pro-
nounced in November, 1895. he is yet unhung
Durrant murdered Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams in Emmanuel Baptist
Church, San Francisco, in April, 1895. The
full story of the crimes, with the mystery
which has surrounded and still surrounds
the actual work of the murderer when he
choked the life out of the two young girls
almost at the foot of the altar forms a ro-
nance of crime as strange as any that Ga

school to the church. The whole evidence
to sustain this theory was weak ike most
or the testimony brought forward in Dur
rants behalf. rhe strict rules of legal pro-
cedure prevented the introduction OF any
testimony or even any mention OF the muir

search and the finding IN the church of
Blanche Lamont's body, but the story OF
this-the more shocking of the Two crimes

chain OF cireumstantial evidence is SO strong
and conclusive that there seems TO be no
