Government Whttewash,

The whitewash used by the United
States government for the lighthouses
ana beacons, chosen for a permanence
under the most extreme exposure to
the weather. is made as follows: Fresh
hydralic cement Of any good standard
kind, not of the more costly imported
kind, three parts, and clean, fine sand,
one part, are mixed well with cold
water and Immediately applied. This
gives light, brownish white that is
not SO glaring as the common, lime,
and has been found to resist moisture
better than any other wash. It adheres
to brick or stone or wooden walls or
fences very firmly. In its application
the walls are first wetted with water,
by which the adhesion of the wash is
made stronger than if applied to dry
surface.

Tax on The Banks.

Sioux Falls Argus: The poor
man who buys his beer by the
glass, and his cigars in limited
numbers is not going to be hit
very hard by the tax imposed by
the war revenue law. It will not
be possible for the retailer to
charge more than 5 cents per
glass for beer. 1t is not likely
that he will reduce the size of
the glass. This tax will be di-
vided between the wholesaler, the
retailer, and the man who buys
by the case. None of these can
be called poor men. It is the
the same with the tax on cigars.
The tax amounts to about one
third Of a cent on a cigar. A FIVE
cent cigar will cost no more than
it did before, and the three-for-a
quarter will still sell at the same
price. The tax will be divided
between the manufacturers, the
retailer, and the man who buys
his cigars by the box.
A large slice of revenue is to
be raised from the tax on banks.
bank stock, surplus, checks, etc.
The Chicago Tribune prints a list
|of the banks Of Chicago and the
tax they will pay. One bank, the
First National, will put up S1O,-
900 at the first clatter as its stock
and surplus tax.
The banks of Chicago alone
will pay about 500, 200 as their
tax. The business men who
draw checks through these banks,
and not many of them are what
you may properly call ''poor
men, will be called on to pay an
immese sum. One bank says that
in the course of a year 100000
checks are paid by it. On these
the tax at 2 cents per check would
aggregate $4,000. 1t is proba-
bic that the business men of Chi
cago will pay on this tax in the
next year, at least S25O,000. In
schedule "a" there are nearly
fifty items of taxation, and not
one of them will touch the poor
man. They are all paid by the
rich or the well-to-do. This is a
poor mans tariff,

CHANDLER SCORES w. j. BRYAN,

Copperheads Warned by the New Hamp.
shire Senator.
Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean.
Concord, N. H., June 1S.---Sen-
atar Chandler says editorially in
the Monitor:
The outcry against Imperialism
is premature. So far as it comes
from copperheads who opposed
the war it is almost treason, be-
cause it tends to discourage r1ili-
tary victories oyer a public enemy.
So far as it proceeds from Dem
ocratic partisan motive it is a
stupendous party blunder, which,
persisted in, will keep the Demo-
cratic party IN a hopeless and
pltlful minority in the country.
For William J. Bryan to insist
upon leading United States
regiment against the Spanish foe
while spouting political speeches
declaring that we must not hurt
the Spaniards by making imperi-
alistic conquests is ridiculous.
But Uncle Sam intends to cap-
ture everything that Spain has
land, ships, and subjects that can
be safely reached. He intends to
make Cuba free, Porto Rico a
colony of his, and to do what may
seem best, when peace is con-
cluded, with the Philippines. He
intends also to have coaling sta
tions all AROUND the world and to
enter upon a new career, not Of
imperialism, but of legitimate
republican influence and COM
merce in all the lands Of the
earth.
The conquests are not yet
achieved and future policies are
not yet in issue. But the men
should be marked who try to pre-
vent those conquests by whining
and moaning about coming i'm
perialism.

which was recently paid, after
being before congress for more
than twenty years, can hardly
expect the country to take them
seriously. Everybody else in
Washington knows that lobbyists
are employed iii nearly every
case where large claims are de-
pendent upon congressional
appropriation for their payment,
if senators do not, and not a few
or the lobbyists are men who
have been in congress. The idea
of a senate committee making an
investigation, as ordered by the
resolution adopted, to find out
whether the report that this par
ticular lobbyist received IS per
cent of the money paid is as far
cical as the Investigation a few
years ago to ascertain how execu-
tive secrets got out. Senator
Morgan says the heirs of John
Roach paid lobbyists 50 per cent
of the 1888, 900 recently appropri-
ated by congress to pay their
claims. 1t would probably be
impossible to find claimant who
has received money through an
act Of congress who did not pay
some OF it to lobbyists.

LATE WAR NEWS.

The new Russian ambassador intinates
that Russia has no objection to the United
States holding the Philippines, but does OBJ
ject to the control passing into the hands of
England.
A report is sent from Madrid to the effect
that the German emperor had proposed to
Spain that Germany be allowed to establish
a protecforate over the Philippines for twenty
years, Germany to drive out the u. S. troops.
Gen. Shafter and Gen. Garcia have long
conference in regard to the plan of the cam
pagn and as to the best point for landing the
troops. 1t was decided that the general de-
oarkation would not take place for several
days, but small bodies of troops would be
landed at different points at once.

to Gen. Shafter---the capture of
Santa ago---will be short and easy
or long and hard. Admiral
Sampson has notified the secre-
tary of the navy that his marines
ashore have been reinforced by
the insurgents and were in no
danger of being overwhelmed by
the superior force of the enemy.
This was really the most agree
able news of the week, as the
--latest news of those marines
previous to Admiral Sanpson's
dispatch had caused many to
fear that the entire force might
be alassacred before the army
could reach them. Much indig-
nation is expressed on account of
the savage and brutal manner in
which the Spanish lnut1lated the
corpses of several Of these ma
rines who were killed in the first
night attack upon them, but
those who know the Spanish
nature were not surprised.
In transmitting a report made
by It. w. Cridler, third assistant
secretary of state, who was sent
to Paris to continue the work of
the special commissioner to the
Paris exposition started by the
late M. P. Handy, to congress,
President Mckinley put in an
other bid for a continuance of the
friendliness of France towards
the y. S. by saying: 81 cordially
renew my recommendation that
a liberal appropriation be inne-
diately granted.
Those democrats who had a
party caucus of members of the
/ house called for the purpose of
making opposition to the annex
alton of Hawaii party question
were speedily convinced thatsuch
action would not do; so they
compromised by the adoption of
a resolution declaring annexation
/ to be dangerous and unwise by a
vote of so to II. Had all the
members of the party absent from
| the caucus been present and voted
against the resolution it could
have been defeated. The house
adopted the joint resolution pro-
viding for the annexation of Ha-
waii by vote of 210 to %, and
President Mckinley is quoted as
saying that the senate must do
likewise before he will give his
consent to the adjournment of
congress. Sc senators are COM
n1itted to annexation.
| The conferees who had been
trying for three months to reach
an agreement on the points of
difference between the bankrupt
cy bill passed by the senate and
the bankruptcy bill passed by the
house succeeded this week. This
lb1ll as agreed upon, which will
almost ertainly become a law,
provides for both voluntary and
involuntary bankruptcy, being
especially lenient towards the
debtor in providing for bringing
about the latter.

Everywhere the same scenes awaited
him; the heartfelt tribute of all ages
and conditions.
From Portsmouth he returned to
Boston, and thence, through the inte-
rior of Massachusetts and Connecticut,
to New York. The old battle grounds
Of Concord, Lexington and other IA
nous places were visited. In Connec-
ticut he was more formally received
than was possible on his first hurried
passage through; and at New York
the enthusiasm of the people appeared
undated. The closing fete was ball
at Castle Garden, unexcelled in the
ingenuity and happy neatness of its
arrangements. After a hurried but
delightful visit to the cities and towns
upon the Hudson, Lafayette proceed
ed through New York on his way to
Philadelphia. Through the state
of New Jersey the same triumphal
progress was made as in other places.
The descendants of those who lived
upon the battle grounds of the revolu-
ton, led by the survivors of the glori-
Gus bands of worthless in that state,

procession awaited him, and the as
sembled citizens greeted him with pro-
Ionged acclamations. Here he was
welcomed by the mayor in behalf of
the city. The procession then passed
through several Of the principal
streets, everywhere lined with specta-
tors, and frequently arched, to the
common. The entrance to this public
ground was made between two lines of
the children Of the public schools
the girls in white, and the boys in
white trousers and blue jackets, and
all wearing badges. The number of
these young welcomers was about
three thousand; and the occasion was
made more interesting b. the spring
ing forward of little g1rl, who, on
her request to speak to Lafayette, was
handed into his carriage, and present
ed him with wreath of flowers, and
a simple, but touching poetic tribute.
After some days spent in Boston and
vicinity, Lafayette proceeded as far
east as Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

dom of the city to be presented him in
golden box. Trades societies of all
kinds, the professions, associations,
private individuals, and public author
tiles We'd with each other in doing
him honor.
On Friday, the goth, he left New
York for Boston, via Connecticut, in a
carriage provided by the corporation
Of the city. He was also attended by
a committee of the common council,
appointed to accompany him. The
whole journey was a triumphal
progress.
Lafayette was met on the Massa
chusetts line by the aides of the gov
ernor of the state, and his progress to
Boston was no less imposing than the
route through Connecticut and Rhode
Island. By day he found all other
business deferred to the happy duty Of
welcoming him and by night, bonfres,
Examinations and rockets announced
his progress. From the mansion of
Governor Eustis, in Roxbury, he was
attended by numerous cavalcade to
the city line, where a truly imposing

six thousand. Then followed Lafay-
cite in an open barouche, splendidly
adorned and appointed, and followed
by other carriages, in which rode the
committees, public officers, and one
hundred and twenty veterans Of the
revolution. After these came the
trades and other associations.
The next remarkable and most i'm
posing ceremonies took place upon the
battle ground of Yorktown. The field
was converted into camp: and
among the tents was that Of Washing
ton, and many others which saw ser
vice in the revolutionary war. A tri-
umphal arch, bearing the names of
Lafayette, Hamilton and Laurens, was
erected on the spot where once stood
the redoubt stormed by Lafayette; and
on the spot where stood that carried
by the French an obelisk was erected
bearing the names Of illustrious
Frenchmen. On this classic field no
pageantry was attempted. As was
happily remarked by General Taylor.
who made the address, the associations

crowded forward to do him honor. At
Trenton and Princeton the proceed
ings were truly imposing; and one no.
ticeable incident in this state was a
visit of severals hours with Joseph
Bonaparte.
The governor of New Jersey had the
pleasure Of presenting to him the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania; and on Mon
day, the 2Sth of September, the ma
tons guest entered the Keystone
state, resting for the night at Frank
ford. To this place, distant about five
miles from Philadelphia, it seemed as
if the whole population of the city had
repaired to meet him; and yet, as he
approached, the crowd grew more and
more dense. The progress from
frankfort to the state house occupied
six hours. The head of the procession
was composed of a cavalcade of citi-
zens, after which came between two
and three thousand infantry and cav
airy, the whole number of soldiers in
the procession being between five and
