The Wnr Taxes.

Those who have been hoping that owing
to the shortness of the war the war taxes
would not be kept in force very long are
likely to be disappointed. There is going to
be very great increase in the expenses
of the government in consequence of the
war. We are going to have a much big
ger army and a very much greater navy.
The cost of the army and the navy win
be many millions of dollars more than it
has ever yet been in time of peace And
the pension burden is going to grow stead
lily for many years. The war with Spain
will furnish many pensioners owing TO the
vast amount of sickness in the camps.
We are not yet done with granting pen
sions to those who were, one way and an
other, connected with the civil war. The
commissioner of pensions published his
annual report on Saturday last. He says
that the pension roll in the last year in
creased not only in numbers but also in
value. In other words, the pension bur
den was considerably increased. And the
commissioner said that as there were
about 100000 ex-Union soldiers living who
have never had a pension it may reasona-
bly, be expected that the pension burden
viii go on increasing for very consid-
cradle time.
Not long ago there was much said about
the billion-dolar Congress. No Congress
in the near future will stop in making APP
preparations when the billion-dollar mark
is reached. If we keep the Philippines.
and have a great deal of trouble with
them, and with Cuba and Porto Rico, We
may need more revenue than all the taxes
now in force will yield. We might as well
therefore, make our minds to endure the
! annoyances Of the stamp tax for a long
time

VIII Col. Bryan Resigns

1t looks very much as if Col Bryan
would have to resign if he wants 10 get
out of the army. And there seems 10 be
no doubt that he does want to get out.
lie is anxious to take part in the political
campaign this fall. When he enlisted he
expected that the war would last much
longer, and that he would have a chance
to see something of service in the field.
If he should remain in the army he might
have an opportunity TO do garrison duty
in Cuba. He is not anxious for that kind
of service, however, and it is, therefore,
expected that he will take an early OPP
porIunty to resign.
He does not want to resign-that is, he
would like to get back to civil life without
resigning. He wanted his regiment mus
tered out, and he requested the Governor
of Nebraska TO see if the war department
would not consider the question of muster
ing it out. According TO our dispatches
yesterday Col. Bryan's regiment is to re-
main in the service. The only thing for
Col. Bryan to do therefore, is to send in
his resignation.
There is no good reason why he should
not resign. 1t isn't as if his place could
not be filled. As there is to be no fighting
there are plenty of men in Nebraska, and
perhaps in the regiment, who can fill it
just as satisfactorily as Col. Bryan does.
There is no particular reason why he
should bury himself in fort or camp in
Cuba. He could not do the country any
particular service in such position.
1t may be that there would be an at
tempt 10 make political capital against
him if he should resign, but the attempt
would not be successful The whole coun-
try knows that he is not a professional
soldier, and that he did not volunteer with
the expectation that he would have gar
rison duty to perform, The fact that he
accepted a commission at a time when 1t
was thought that there would be fighting
TO do, will be a sufficient answer 10 those
who would be disposed TO critcise him if
he should resign.

1t is not always wel for a man to let
his patriotic and charitable impulses die
tate his course of action. A New York
doctor the other day saw a returned San
tiago hero on the street eating a sandwich

Woes of the Cotton Grower.
From the Macon Telegraph (Dem.)

The lot of the Georgia cotton grower
is not a happy one these days. The boil
worm and the caterpillar are getting in
their deadly work. The long continued
rains are causing the boIls to rot and not
only keeping him from gathering his
crop, but knocking down the quality of
the moiety he is able TO get out. To
crown his misery the price of the staple
has gone down below the cent mark.
Truly is he to be congratulated who
amidst all the gloom can occasionally
take a look at a full smokehouse and
corn crib. Georgia is fortunate in thai,
thanks to her prolific soil and intelligent
husbandmen she has large and con-
stanty growing number of farmers who
can indulge themselves in this pleaure.

There is talk in Baltimore to the eff
feet that Senator German will shortly he
come the president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Similar stories have been
heard there before, and have been denied.
The persistency with which the rumor
comes to the front leads some well inform
ed persons to think there is a good basis
for it to rest upon. Should the senator be
come the head of the great railway cor
poration, there is every reason for be-
lieving that he would give it an able,
vigorous and successful administration.
Mr. German is man of exceptional fore
sight and executive ability.

one can hardly pick up a New York
paper these days without seeing in it an
account of one of more murders or at
tempts at murder by poison. Why are
not the laws against the sale of poisons
better enforced? 1t seems that people
son than they have in purchasing liver
pills and dovers powders. If there was
as much selling of whisky or bogus but
ter outside the terms of the laws as there
IS of poisons, the dealers would quickly
feel the strong hand of the authorities.

A recent order issued by the war de-
partment for the purpose of facilitating
trade with Cuba and Porto Rico makes
no distinction between them. The terms
which apply and the privileges which are
extended to one are applied and extended
to the other. Commenting on this fact
the Philadelphia Ledger says it is all
right, "but simply shows what a trouble
we are going to have in trying to discrim-
mate in our treatment of the two islands"
Does it really show any such thing? The
fact IS that both islands are still Spanish
territory in the eye Of the law, and will
remain so until they have been formally
transferred to some other governing DOW
er. Spanish laws are being administered
in both islands, and no change will be
made until the peace convention has been
concluded and ratified. To differentiate
between Cuba and Porto Rico under pres
ent circumstances would be to cause con-
fusion, both now and hereafter. The war
departments order therefore, has the eff
feet of maintaining the status quo until
such time as the law-makng powers shall
provide for new governments in the ISL
ands.

to those now famous reindeer which DR..
Sheldon Jackson purchased in the far

1t is now said that at least 81. OOOO 600 will
be distributed among the officers and men
of the navy in prize money as a result
of the war with Spain. This includes the
''head money for the men on the Spanish
ships that were destroyed and the prize
money for Spanish merchant vessels cap
tured. Dewey will get about $3.50. Ad-
miral Sampson gets the biggest ''rake-off'
Of the lot. His share will amount to ap-
proximately $4,000. Each jackie that par
ticipated in either fight or a capture will
get a neat little sum with which to cele-
brate.

War Not "a Pastime.
From the Philadelphia Times Dem)

One thing most impressively taught by
our short war with Spain Is that war is
a serious business and the art of war
difficult profession that cannot be taken
up ofhand but requires careful training
and dilisent preparation. The navy has
furnished the most conspicuous example
of this truth. but the army has taught
it quite as impressively. Seacraft s a
thing so far apart from the life of the
average man that the navy is beyond the
ambitions of the amateur and thus our
navy was able to give such an illustra-
lion of thorough professional education,
organization. discipline, complete prepar-
alton at every point. as surpassed all eX-
pectations. All recognize now the IN
portance of maintaining the navy at It's
own high standard. No one would pro-
pose TO rely upon an improvised navy
IN the event OF another war.
