long since been discontinued. How was
1t possible 20 have bankrupt treasury

The tax levied in 1894 and the snrnlns
on hand, amounted to S9s2,57O, which
WAS greater by over 100000 than the
average annual tax levy during the four
years OF the democratic administration.

THERE seems to be a disposition to
break into the state treasures by even
United States senators. Senator Qnay
OF Pennsylvania, bis son and third party,
Mckee who is the law partner of the lieut.
governor, were arrested on charge of
conspiracy in misuse OF state funds 10 the
Peoples Bank Of Philadelphia which
failed last March. Qnay, 1t is charged,
u ed $500, 900 OF the states money de-
posted 10 the bank in speculation. One
third of the interest on state deposits
was assigned to McKee's account The
state treasurer deposited 100000 in the
bank with the understanding that it be
loaned to Quay's son.
The three we're held for trial, bail being
fixed at 5000.
Quay denies that he ever had the use
OF any OF the states funds and says that
whatever stocks he purchased he paid for
with his own money and that the bank
did not Ioee a cent through him.
But all this goes to show that extreme
honesty in dealing with the peoples
money is positively essential to it's safe
keeping. The slightest departure will
lead to greater dishonesty and heavy loss
eventually.

The Pilot is not an snti-corporatlon
paper ID the sense OF urging Legislation
designed to harass corporations or deny
ing them rights accorded to individuals.
But 1t Is opposed to granting them spe-
cIal privileges at the expense of the gen
eral public. One of these privileges is
practica. exemption from taxation when
they enjoy the protection of the laws the
enactment and enforcement of which re-
quire aD outlay which is supplied by tax

Sleeping car companies practically es-
cape taxation IN states where they do
business. There is no corporation in the
land more defiant of public opinion than
sleeping car company. Their charges
are exorbitant and even railway compan-
les are at their mercy. 1t has thus far
been difficult to reach them by law or to
IN anyway protect the travelling public
from the enormlty of their charges. A
bill requiring them to pay license fee
WAS passed by one Legislature in 1897
and vetoed by the governor on a flimsy
pretext. This was one of the strongest
points made agaInss his denomination by
LaFollette's followers and affords an ex-
cellent reason for voting against him this
fall.

STROUD, the Oshkosh sllverman who
WAS organizing a mass meeting to be held
in Milwaukee on the 18th for the purpose
of reconstructing the democratic state
ticket in conjunction with the populist
committee, has declared the movement off.
But he's mad because democrats did not
jump at his proposition TO undo the work
of the state convention, 10 the interests
OF the populists, and he advises every
democrat now to vote the straight popu-
list ticket made up OF original silver men.
Mr.. Stroud has acquired notoriety solely
because OF his foOlishness.
