One Issue Clearly Defined.

An attempt has been made to dodge
the issue regarding the Republican
position on exempting a few of the
necessities of life from taxation, a
privilege so inestmable to the poor
man whose life is n ceaselcss struggle
to keep the wolf from the door. Fortu-
nately, however, we have evidence of
the intent OF the convention in framing
the resolution OF the platform 50 rs to
include the wife's muslin wrapper and
the children's shoes. j. Hannah
J0nes was member OF the platform
committee and has always been in
favor OF taxing the last dollar OF the
value OF household wares. When
somebody not in accord with "pluto-
cratic ideas, possessing some political
sagacity. on the committee proposed
fayoring an exemption of 5000, j.
Hannah jumped on "the false
doctrine" with both feet and it was
Immediately relocated to oblivion
The motion to reject Mr.. Jones says
in his issue OF the Nooksack Reporter of
the 3Oth ult., "was adopted unanimous
ly, leaving the declaration to stand in
the following brave words:
eve are in favor of the equal taxa
ton of all classes OF property upon the
basis of value, and we therefore oppose
the amendment to the constitution pro-
posed by the late fusion Legislature upon
the subject of taxation"
The Reporter then goes on to say:
We are surprised the P-I should as
sert the Republican party is to-day in
favor of "exempting personal property
to an amount of $500" when such a
proposition was unanimously killed in
the platform committee, and not asked
for by any gentleman on the floor Of the
convention.
There you have it from first hands.
There is no chance to dodge the issue,
and it might as we'll be fairly and
squarely met.

navy department. 1t is not known
when it may be expected to finish its
work. But the Importance OF this re-
port does not diminish in the slightest
degree by the lapse of time and in the
midst of divisions caused by more re-
cent happenings the more thoughtful
officials have not lost sight of the fact
that when the report of the court of
inquiry comes to the navy department
the government may be face to face
with another and vital issue.
Senor Dubosc called at the state
department late in the day and had half
an hours conference with Judge Day.
He brought no dispatches and the talk
did not relate to the present strained
condition of affairs. but was rather an
informal discussion of the condition of
affairs in Cuba. In the course of the
visit it is understood that Mr.. Dubosc
suggested that some Of the newspaper
correspondents at Havana were tres
passing on the privileges which the
Havana authorities had accorded them.
The new Spanish minister. Senior Ber-
nabe, will arrive in New York on a

The president this afternoon signed
the Hawley bill providing for two addi-
fional regiments of artillery TO man the

In conjunction with the intimation of
the Spanish government regarding
Consul General Lee and the class of
vessels in which the relief supplies
should be sent TO Cuba, third inquiry
was made. Captain Crowninshield was
the object of n request Of information
as to the nature of his recent trip to
the West Indies. The Spanish govern
ment had been informed that Captain
Crowninshield on this occasion had
been in communication with the insur-
gents and even went so far is to give
them indirect aid through filibustering
sources. When the matter was brought
to the attention of President Mckinley
an immediate denial in explicit terms
was returned. Spain thereupon closed
the incident with an acceptance of the
presidents statement. saying they had

THE JURY is OUT.
Judge woodford's Charge Seemed to Fa-
vor the sheriff.

WfIkesbarre, Pa, March Sin the
Martin trial Judge Woodward began
his charge TO the jury soon after
o'clock. After reviewing the condi-
tions prevailing In the region previous
to the conflict at Lattimer, Judge
Woodward took up the incidents irnme-
diately preceding the shooting He
said ii was certainly sure that the
great body of strikers failed To obey
the sheriff when he ordered them to
iisperse, and Insisted on pushing on.
Nor could Ii be doubted. he said, that
the sheriff had the lawful right TO issue
the order. and II IL was the right Of
the sheriff to command the crowd To
disperse, then 1t was the duty of the
crowd 10 obey his command.
IF the sheriff orders me to stop and
/ proceed, | do SO at my peril said
the judge advocate. The sheriff's
duty Is to preserve order and not 10
observe IT, 1t would follow that the in
tended object was not a criminal or
unlawful one"
In conclusion the judge stated that
the most. IL not the only. material ques-
ions for the jury 10 decide were. first.
as to the number of men who surround
ed the sheriff after his effort to arrest
one of the strikers: and. second. as to
the firing. whether Ii was continued
after the ranks of the strikers had
broken and they were in retreat, or
whether it ceased when the volley was
fired. Ii was a question whether the
men shot in the back received their
wounds while running away or while
they surrounded the sheriff with their
backs toward his posse.

the court instructed. might be import
ant as bearing upon the question
whether the posse. constituted origi-
nally legally constituted body. did
not become an unlawful assemblage by
reason of any subsequent determination
to disregard the law and commit crimes.
The jury then retired to deliberate.
At Q o'clock. the jury not having report
ed, Judge Woodward adjourned court
until tomorrow morning.
