RAISING WAR FUNDS.

There ought to be no partisan or fac
tious obstruction thrown in the way of
Congress in the matter of providing the
necessary funds for carrying on the war.
At the same time the Democratic watch
dogs of the Treasury would do well to
be on their guard to prevent useless tax
alton and reckless appropriations.
Congress will meet again in December
and there is no reason for providing for
war funds for period much beyond that
time. If, when ii does meet, peace Is not
i'm sight, it can easily devise ways and
means for raising any additional revenue
that may be needed. Unnecessary taxa
ton and extravagant appropriations
would open the way for all sorts of job
berry and the giving out of numerous I'M
necessary contracts. They would put a
premium on Generalization and dis
honesty which the struggling masses
would have to pay.
If the end of the war should catch us
with a full Treasury and the Republican
party i'm power, it may be depended upon
that that party would promptly find use
for the surplus. And judging the future
by the past, it may be set down as pretty
certain that whatever additional burden
of internal taxation may be placed upon
the people for the purpose of conducting
the war will not be lifted until some
years after peace shall have been de-
clared.
We must fight the war to triumphant
finish at any cost, but it involves no want
of patriotism to guard against post
bellum conditions that could be turned
to partisan account and would continue
to keep the people ground down by tax
alton for long season.

The findings of the court-martial in the
celebrated case of Captain Carter have
been in the War Department for nearly
two weeks. He was charged with being
absent without leave, with classifying &C
counts, and with other offences, and the
verdict was against him. 1t is now an
nounced that the case will be reviewed
by Attorney-General Griggs. Under ordi-
nary circumstances and conditions, the
findings of the court-martial should be re-
viewed by the observation-disclosures
but in view of the magnitude of the
charges, and the widespread interest they
aroused, a new precedent is to be estab-
lshed in connection with the final review
of the court. There is, says a Washing
ton special a powerful secret and politi-
cal influence at work in behalf OF Captain
Carter. and it is believed that these two
factors entered largely into the movement
TO have the case reviewed by Attorney
General Griggs. instead of permitting it
to pass through the regular channels at
the Judge advocate office.
