the speculative value of land, substituting one
system for the other.
Now there is no good reason why
every farmer in San Juan county who
believes in the wisdom of such an adj
mitted policy of gradual "confiscation"
should not vote the fusionist ticket this
fall. 1t is the proper thing for every
man to do who believes that the entire
burden of taxation should be laid not
upon land areas but upon land values
and that all forms of personal property
should be exempt, including notes,
bonds, mortgages, railroad, bank and
other corporation stocks and securities;
all sorts of merchandise for sale; the
rolling stock of railroads; all machine
ry, labor saving devices and mechani-
cal appliances of mills, factories and
workshops; the great herds of cattle,
sheep and horses belonging to million
aire stockmen, as well as the horse and
COW of the poor man-all these things
and many more to be free from tax,
with view to making the burden
upon land SO heavy as to amount to
gradual confiscation and ultimate pub
lie ownership. There can be no ques-
ton as to the real intent OF this insidi-
GUS proposition. So preposterous and
revolutionary is it that even the lead
ing organs of the fusionists, the Seattle
Times and Spokane Spoksman-Review,
realize the danger which it threatens
and are urging their readers to vote
against the proposed amendment,
which, radical as it is, proposes only a
moderate change as compared with the
demand of the state platform of the
fusionists adopted by the triple alliance
at Ellensburg.

CONCERNING WOOL.

The Ogden (Utah) "Standard" in a
recent issue earnestly advises the Sill
yer Republicans of the West not to
lose sight of the important relation
which the Protective principle bears
to the welfare and prosperity of the
masses. The Standard" an ardent
supporter Of free coinage, is not blind
to the beneficent effects produced by
the Dingley tariff. After reciting the
statistics showing that under this law
our imports of wool fell from 100000
900 pounds in 1897 to 1876 200, 600 pounds
in 1898, and calling attention to the
fact that, allowing for wool re-exported
and still remaining in bond with
duties unpaid, the consumption of
foreign wool has been reduced to less
than 73,OOo,OOO pounds, the standard"
clinches the argument thus:
"The change in conditions, therefore,
from Democratic to Republican
tariff, results in benefit to the Ameri-
can woolgrowing farmer of S27, 600, 900
pounds of wool in one year. That is to
say that under Republican Protection
to American farm products the Ameri-
can farmers have been furnished q
market for 927 100000 pounds of wool
that they would not have had under
the Democratic policy"
The STANDARD" might have gone
step farther and added that as the
result Of the Protective policy the pur-
chasing power of every pound of wool
grown by American farmers is nearly
what it was under the vicious free
wool of the Wilson law.

POSITION OF CATHOLICS
Archbishop Ireland Scouts the Idea of Their
Disloyalty.
He Scores Father Weber and Ex-
plains the Attitude of
Pope Leo.

CHICAGO, March l1.-"No true American
Catholic will talk of espousing the cause
OF Spain against that of this country be-
cause the former is a Catholic nation"
SAID Archbishop Ireland in an interview
mere today. ITO do that is to set ones
self down as traitorously inclined to the
teachings of this religion, as well as to
the country which it is his bounden duty
to defend against all enemies, both inter
nal as well external"
The words of the archbishop were In
reply to question to what he thought
OF the advice alleged to have been given
by Catholic priest in New York state to
his Pensioners. Archbishop Ireland who
was registered at the Great Northern, was
en- route to his home in St. Paul from
elal Gays.
Ii an Infamous Suggestion.
1T is an infamous suggestion" he con-
tinued, and 1t would seem as IL it could
only emanate from a bitter enemy of the
faith, for it is directly opposed in every
way to the spirit and teachings of Catholi-
cism."
His attention was also called to a sug-
gestion which has been the subject OF
some discussion to the effect that the
pope's sympathies in the pending con-
troversy with Spain were strongly enlisted
on the side of that nation because of its
religious affiliations.
I'm SO far as implying that the pope will
use his offices to aid Spain against this
country, the suggestion is as infamous
the one first mentioned. Whatever action
he may take in this matter will be with
the single idea of averting, If possible. war
between two Christian nations. He looks
upon the possibility of war between this
country and Spain with horror, and as the
vicegerent of God, considers it his bounden
duty to help bring about an adjustment of
the pending difficulties between the two ma
lions. That is the only way in which his
influence is, or will be, eXerted."
Praise of the President.
Then, referring to the situation in this
country. the archbishop said: President
Mckinley is proving himself pre-eminently
thu man Of the hour and for the occasion
His course throughout the present painful
and trying crisis has been marked by a
loftiness OF purpose, a serenity and dignity
OF conduct, which has commanded the re-
spect and admiration of his most pronounc-
ed political enemies.
This was abundantly shown by the re-
markable and impressive action of Con-
gress In unhesitatingly placing the sweep
ing powers 1t did in his hands. l think
every one has come to place the utmost
confidence in his wisdom and ability to
meet whatever eXigencies may arise in con-
nection with the present unfortunate situa-
ton

Train Held Until the Hen Laid an Err.
From the Louisville Post.
There Is no better known local character
In Lancaster than Jim Dillon, and he has
as many friends as any man in Garrard
county. His intimates call him "Old Crow"
The other day. said he to a party OF
friends, Il boarded a train on a little Jerk
water railroad that runs through a nearby
territory, to go over to a neighboring town
You know this line doesn't claim a speed
equal to the empire state express. and the
friends of the officers say they are salts
fed If the road can clear 81 day. On the
occasion l refer to the wind-burner was
nearing my destination when it came to a
dead standstill. l stuck my head out of
the window to learn the cause of the stop,
and saw the conductor talking to an old
woman with bonnet and shawl and Sunday
toggery on and small basket in hand.
Being curious to know the import of
the dialogue between the two, 1 went
forward and learned that the woman had
tagged the train for the purpose of getting
on board and going on to town to sell
dozen eggs. She told the conductor, how
ever. that she had only eleven in the bas-
ket at that moment, but that an old blue
hen of hers, then on the nest, was momen-
tarily expected to lay the egg necessary
to complete the dozen; that it would be
great accommodation If he would hold his
train until this should occur, as it would
be a pity to proceed to market with fewer
than a dozen eggs. The conductor con-
sented, and then our wait began.
Finally, after the lapse of about twenty
minutes furious cackling was heard near
the woman's shanty. A moment later a
blue hen fluttered into view, followed by
the old lady, who came running toward
the cars, smiling and holding aloft in tri-
umph the coveted egg. She placed 1t while
It, was yet warm, in the basket with the
Others thanked the conductor and clam
bered aboard Then the train again got

BIG STRIKE EXPECTED,
BricklRyers at ST. Louis VIII Fight a
Wage Reduction,

ST. LOUIS. Mo, March lit has been
announced that a strike which threatens
to extend to every branch of the building
trades in this city will be inaugurated on
April 1, when from 600 to j 800 members
of the bricklayers' union will lay down
their trowels. This step was decided upon
after the recent manifesto of the brick
layers that after the first of next month
a cut In wages of Is cents per hour will
go into effect. This means a reduction
from % to 10 cents.
The bricklayers are in open revolt and
conferences have so far been in vain The
Losses insist that the cut will be forced
with non-union labor If necessary.

SIGSBEE'S VALLEY.
Depth in the Ocean Named for the
Names Captain.

From the New York Independent.
The deepest valley in the Gulf Of Mexico
is named "Sigsbee's Deep" after it's dis
coverer, and the scientific name of Sigsbeia
murrhina is given to one Of the rarest
species Of deep-sea fauna. 1t was Sigsbee,
too, who discovered near the MORO Light,
not far fro m the spot where the Maine
now lies, many beautiful specimens of the
Pentacrini, or sea lilies, and who, while in
command Of the BLAKE" placed at the dis
posal Of scientific investigators the first ex-
tensive collection of this ancient genus
Thus has Captain Sigsbee associated his
name with the harbor Of Havana both by
scientific Investigations and by exhibition
of the highest qualities Of command We
have the authority of Prof. Alexander Ag-
assiz for saying that the success of the
scientific party in the Blake" was largely
due not only to Captain Sigsbees ca
pacity as commander and to his active
interest in scientific investigation but to
the numerous improvements in the appa-
ratus for deep-sea dredging and sounding
originating with him.

MAKING ITS OWN GUNS.
Government Arsenal at WATERFOWL
Begins on Field MOrtars.


WATERFOWL, Mass, March 1.-THE
United States arsena! here, which for
many years has been exclusively a factory
for the production of gun carriages and
their equipment, gun implements, siege
field and seacoast projectiles, has gone
into gun manufacture. Work on the first
forged gun ever ordered at WATERFOWL
was begun yesterday. The weapon is TO
be 3.6-inck breech-lcading field mortar
and when finished and mounted on its car
riage, which also will be made at the
arsenal 1t will be the first 3.6-inch breech-
leading field piece ever manufactured by
the United States government.
The new undertaking at WATERFOWL re-
suits from the opinion of the ordnance de-
pertinent at Washington that the govern
ment has been paying too much money for
mortars manufactured ty private establish
rents, and the conviction that the weapons
can be turned out more economically and
more efficiently at the arsenal.
