Before voting at the Re-
publican caucus this
evening every Republican
should carefully consider
whether he is voting for or
against the interests Of the
Republican party. A Repub
lican should no more vote in
harmony with the Democratic
organization now than he
would in six weeks from now
at the election.
Not later than Oct. 10 the
county campaign will be
opened. Can any loyal Re-
publican desire to have the
campaign largely in control OF
Buchanan? The Democratic
city and county organizations
are making every possible
effort to defeat Fuller, as they
have no liking for the kind of
campaign that Fuller and his
present associates put up
against the Democratic local
ticket.

Precautions in Spanish Ports.
London, June IA letter has been
received in this city, dated from on
board the British second class cruiser
Charybdis, which recently arrived at
Las Palmas, Grand Canaries:
The writer says:
I'VE have had a rather ticKsh time
since our arrival, as the natives think
we have formed an alliance with
America, so we are quite prepared
should they attempt another Maine
treachery Nightly the ship douses all
her lights and the sentries stand ready
with ball ammunition to fire on any
boat approaching after dark unless it
satisfactorily answers when hailed.
We have a boat armed nightly after 8
o'clock and all the quick firing machine
gun crews are ready for action. All the
water tight doors are closed so that
it will be a pretty large hole they will
have to blow into us to sink US"

could really come to understand how

could really come to understand how
palatable and nutritious American
corn is they would insist on having a
great deal of it. 1t is cheaper than
wheat, and consequently it would be
money in their pockets to buy it. The
United States raises enormous guam
titles of it, and consequently it would
be money in the pocket of the United
States to sell it to them.
A member of the chamber stated
that if this country could yearly mar
ket abroad 500,OO0,O0O bushels of In
dian corn, one-fourth the average an
nual crop, financial troubles would be
settled There is not much doubt
that it would help along their settle
ment Last year the exports were
about $4,000, 900 bushels. The aver
age for the preceding five years was
63, 600 900 bushels
And while the department is about
it it might as well carry its educa-
tional work in the matter of making
known the merits of American corn
among the American people them
selves. When we learn what good,
wholesome and palatable as well as
cheap food corn bread is, we will be
free from the bondage of high priced
flour and the wheat spectators.

LONDON, June "A dispatch to the
times from Manila, referring TO the fight
ing of May 30 and June !, says the Span
sh loss in killed and wounded and pris-
oners was heavy, but that the most SER
ious feature of all for Spain is the de-
lection Of hundreds of native auxiliaries.
Aguinaldo's treatment of the Spanish
prisoners is exemplary. Few excuses are
reported except where priests were mutt
lated before being killed
Admiral Dewey is not assisting the reb-
els but it is probably due to him that
Aguinaldo's forces avoid excuses.
Foreigners with the exception Of the
French nuns, remain in Manila. but are
ready to board the refugee steamers as
soon as the necessity arrives.

TAXING NEWSPAPER CALCULATIONS

Under the provisions or the w ar
Revenue bill, as passed by the Senate,
no stamp tax is to be paid on pack
ages of newspapers weighing less than
100 pounds, when sent by express, al
though this tax is imposed on all other
packages. This amendment was advo-
Gated by Senator Allen, of Nebraska,
on the ground that there should be
no restrictions on the diffusion of in
telligence, anything printed being
properly so classified according to his
view. Mr. Wolcott however, opposed
the amendment on the surprising
ground that a tax on newspaper cir
culation would be one of the most
equitable taxes that could be levied,
and he added that it would be only
necessary to accept the statements OF
the newspapers themselves in order to
increase the revenue by one hundred
million a year. While Senator Wolcott
has never had reputation as wag,
it was very evident that he was in
dulging in little humor in this in
stance Probably his whole PROPOSE
ton was joke.
While it delicate matter for news
paper to handle, being naturally under
suspicion that it is biased in its own
interests, the facts are sufficiently well
known The Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal presents the case CT the newspa-
pers with truthfulness and moderation
in the following:
For a long time past the size and the
news service of the newspapers have beer
steadily going UP, while the price al
which they are sold or furnished TO sub
scribers has been going down. This is q
matter of common knowledge. and very
few people of middle age or over who car
read a newspaper are ignorant of it, II
is true that the price of the blank paper
cry has lowered the cost of producing
newspapers, as it has that of most other
commodities, so far as the mere mechan-
ical labor is concerned. But the vast i'm
provement in the news service, the i'm
mense increase of Geographic and other
matter, have added to the expense very
largely. 1t is perfectly well known Il
everybody conversant with the business
that, with the exception of comparatively
few papers of a special class. there is nc
profit on circulation. On the contrary
readers get their papers for less than the
cost of production 1t is only by the CO.
operation of the advertiser that the pub
lication of newspapers at less than they
cost the publishers is possible.
Instead, therefore, of newspaper cir
culation being one of the most equt-
able taxes" to further quote cur Ken
lucky contemporary, 'it is just the re-
verse 1t is to a great extent tax or
knowledge Moreover it is tax on
deficit instead of a surplus on a loss
instead of profit. Of course, there
are newspapers that eXaggerate their
circulation, for circulation has an in
direct value as an inducement to adj
vertisers. But newspapers are moi
alone in this respect, and the better
class of them deal fairly with theil
advertisers in the matter of circula
ton. The fact remains that there il
no direct profit in circulation, and tina
of all subjects of taxation it is th'
least equitable"
