THE WAR TAX SHOULD GO.
A Needless Burden Imposed Upon the
People by the Admin
fstrntion.

II In now manifest that the special
taxes levied by the war revenue bill
were needlessly burdensome. The
people were called upon TO furnish at
least S1O0.000.0O0 more money per
year than was really required to prose
cute the war TO finish. just as they
were called upon to furnish at least
100000 more men than were needed,
or ever likely to be. needed. for the
same purpose.
Not satisfied with raising $500. 0o0.-
coo by a special bond issue. the admin
istration forced through congress a
bill putting taxes on about everything
In sight, from patent medicines to
bank checks and from express pack
ages TO kilograms. The American
people. with the same marvellous pa
thence they have shown in bearing
every burden and sacrifice, however
mistakenly and unnecessarily i'm
posed upon them. uncomplainingly
submitted TO this complicated and an
noying system of internal taxation.
II Is now known that the collec-
tons under the war revenue bill will
surely yield $40. 900 by the end of
the current fiscal year. That sum.
added to the 100000. 900 derived from
the bond issue. will bring the extraor-
binary revenue of the treasury for war
purposes up to $40. 100000. 1t Is also
known now that the total cost of the
war up TO the end Of the current fiscal
year will not exceed s235 900, 900. Still
further, II is known that the increas-
ing volume Of imports Is likely to in
crease the ordinary revenue Of the
government. derived under the old
laws, by about $4,000, 900 within the
same period
In short. the financial prospect be-
fore the country is that, unless the SUI
perluous war taxes are repealed,
there will be an enormous treasury
surplus on June 30, 1899, which the
country has no use for.
These special war taxes should be
repealed. They were imposed under
conditions that have ceased to exist.
They are yielding at least si4o. 900. 900
a year OF unnecessary revenue. They
are taking just about 100000 day
out OF the pockets Of the people need
lessly and for no purpose whatever
except 20 pile up huge surplus in the
treasury which will be a menace TO
the financial and commercial welfare
OF the country.
These war taxes will continue to be
collected month after month. year
after year. until they are modified or
repealed altogether.
Muster out the unnecessary war
taxes as well as the unnecessary war

The Situation I'm Russia.

The money standard OF Russia is
technically double standard at the

The currency, amounting to about
o0o, 100000, consists of silver roubles
and paper roubles based on silver.

fair is of some Importance, because of the
fact the postmaster there was given in
formation by the postoffice department at
Washington that a gang of safe-crackers
was supposed to be in this vicinity and 10
be on the look out.
Sending one Of the detective force away
might mean an absence of few days,
and then again ii might necesstate an
absence of several weeks. Detectives dis
like very much to undertake such a task,
and be so stinted in time as to have no
chances of success.
Some might think out-of-town troubles
did not relate to Savannah, but the police
do not view the situation In this light.
Chief McDermott says when a wolf is at
the door, he does not propose waiting until
it comes and robs the people before using
some precautlon. If safe-crackers are in
the neighborhood, the chief naturally in
fers that they will venture to the city and
may get in their work before caught.
There has been no safe-cracking in Sa-
vannah for the past six years." said the
chief land l intend holding 1t down if
possible. The last safe cracked here was
by Burglar Ward in 1891, when a notion
store at Bull and York streets was entered
and the safe blown open. It's true moth
ing but gold pens were obtained which,
by the way, afterwards led to Wards
capture in South Carolina, and his subse-
quent conviction and sentence to fifteen
years in the PEN"
The crowd which burglarized the post
office at Sylvania is apt to bob up again al
any time, but my idea is that it will be in
country towns. 1t Is not an infrequent
thing for visits of burglars TO be paid
country towns in the vicinity of Savannah
every year; still the cracksmen never ven
ture here. Generally, the country people
retire early, and ample time and opportu-
nifty is given burglars TO open safe. 1t
is not improbable the cracksmen are MAX
ing their headquarters some distance from
the scene of their operations, and go to and
fro on night trains.
GAS a precaution, of course" contin-
ued the chief, 1.-THE police will keep close
watch on all stragglers about the city.
This have found to be a most effieacious
method of running down crooks. There
are times when the. best way to catch
thieves is by taking d stand in the vicinity
of their whereabouts, and the chances a1e
they will walk right into an officers hands
and never know it,
In answer to questions, the chief said
he might send one of his men TO Sylvanfa,
provided satisfactory arrangement was
made with the authorities there There
is no aversion to 1t, and he really thinks
an investigation of the affair would be
beneficial to Savannah, in view Of the
nearness of that place. 1t is certain there
is no inclination to wait until the gang
arrives and get in their work before con-
sidering the situation.

OLD SOLDIERS IN BUSINESS.
Free Licenses VIII Diminish the
City's Revenue Considerably.

Free Licenses VIII Diminish the
City's Revenue Considerably.
The granting of certificates to INDECENT
and disabled Confederate soldiers, grant
ing them The right to engage in any busI-
ness they choose without the payment of
any license to state, city or county, is
likely to prove quite a serious interference
with the cty's license system and cause
some loss of revenue, as well as bring into
field a lot of competition for those who
have been duly licensed by the city.
AS in the case of the various pension
acts, the law has developed great many
claimants to it's benefits.
A number of permits of this kind have
already been granted by the ordinary and
others have stated their intention of APP
plying for them. Fortunately the law APP
plies only to INDECENT Confederate soldiers
over 80 years of age, otherwise the city's
revenues would be seriously decreased, as
there are number of eX-Confederates en-
gagged in lucrative business enterprises
here. Some of these understanding that
the law applies to all ex-Confederates,
made application to the ordinary's office
for permits which would enable them to
do business without paying license
The law allows these INDECENT soldiers
TO engage in any business except the sale
of intoxicating liquors or sewing ma
chimes. Apparently the lawmakers CON
sidered both these businesses detrimental
to the morals of those engaged in them.
The law is defective in that Il does not
require the persons applying for It's bene-
fits to submit any evidence to substanu-
ate their claims of service for the Con-
federacy the only evidence required being
the affidavit of the applicant to this eff

certificates will be sought and obtained
by some who could not obtain member

or other Confederate veterans organiza.
tons
Certificates to engage In the business
named were granted yesterday by Judge
Ferrill in the Ordinarys Court TO the
following applicants upon their affidavits,
as required by law:
James III. Bonnell green grocer.
Michael Pickett, hack driver.
Edward II. Carsten, green grocer.
James c. Adams, job carpenter.
Henry w. Wienges, milk dairy.
L. w. Davis, huckster.
Benjamin Rothwell, dealer I'm wood and
brick. r1
]. A. J. Adams, green grocer.
Frank Lamar, auctioneer and commits
sion merchant.
The amount of license which the above
named parties would have to pay the CITY
10 engage in the businesses named is 81. :
100
The green grocery business appears to
be the favorite with the applicants. as
there have been more certificates granted
for that business than any other.

1t was rather coincldental that to the
extremely poor playing of King, the Y. NJ.
C. A. catcher, was directly attributab BILE
the defeat of that team. while to the ex-
collent work of Sullivan, the c. l.. a.
backstop. was due, in large measure the
Library boys victory In last nights
indoor bali game. o.
The game was the third in the league
series and the first between the c. l.. a.
and Y. NJ. c. A. The score was to 6.
II was the snapplest played game of the
season so far and the playing of both
teams was full of ginger. The hall was
comfortably filled, and the crowd was en-
thuslastic. Everybody seemed to be for
one side or the other, and at times che
rule regarding applause being limited to
the clapping of hands was disregarded by
gentlemen and ladies' alike.
Thompson pitched great game for the
Y. NJ. c. A.. and it was hard on him
that it was losing one. He was a puzzle
to the c. L. A. batsmen; they simply
couldn't hit him. Only one clean hit was
made off his delivery; the other was a
scratch. He struck out fifteen men, but
rhe third strike of six Of them were missed
by King
Kings catching was extremely ragged
He could not hold Thompson, and four
runs were scored in the fourth inning on
errors made by King alone. The Y. M. c.
A. helders had very little to do, as the
Library boys did not hit
Horrigan was batted heavily for the
first three innings, but after that settled
down and pitched steady game Sulli-
vans backstop work for the Library team
was gilt-edge. He was death to foul tips,
making several difficult catches.
The Library boys were kept busy in the
field, and showed improvement in their
work over their last game. The team
work was especially good while the base
running was excellent.
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys started off with
rush, scoring two runs In the first in
ming. The Library team did not score
until the second inning, when they got
two runs. Three for the Y NJ c. A.
in the third gave them the lead and made
their followers feel confident, but only
for one short inning. The c. L. A. piled
up four in the fourth and another in the
fifth. The Y. M c. A. scored again in
the eighth. This was all.
The score follows:
