Scrip and the
War Tax.
Each Piece of Scrip Issued to Miners
rIust Have a Revenue Stamp on It,
Which Amounts to a Pro-
hlbltiVe Tax.
BOYLE SUGGESTS RELIEF.

The war revenue tax seems to be just
the thing to wipe out the iniquitous scrip
system in vogue in the mining districts
of Kansas. One section of this law pro-
Vides that any certificate OF indebtedness
issued by any company or corporation
must have attached to 1t stamps to the
value Of 5 cents for each certificate Of
500 or fraction thereof. The law also
provides that on any order for money
not drawing interest there shall be at
tached stamps Of the value of 2 cents.
Either one or both Of these sections COW
er the issue of scrip by mining corpora"
tions to their employees, and unless such
stamps are attached to all scrip issued
the corporation issuing 1t Is subject to
a heavy penalty.
A dispatch from Mine Inspector Nc
Grath from Weir City states that he has
just returned from Pittsburg and the
intervening mining points, and that in
no place in that district are stamps used
except on coupon books issued by the
Mt. Carmel Coal Company. The Kansas
and Texas Coal Company stamps the re-
ceipt that they take, the Central Coal and
Coke Company and one or two others
stamp punch checks, but all other checks
pass as before, with no stamp. No evil
dence can be found that any others are
using the revenue stamps on their scrip.
Attorney General Boyle, having been
asked to look up the matter, reports that
In several other States collectors have
decided that the revenue stamps must
go on all such issues Of scrip and that
in his opinion there Is no possible doubt
but that 1t was clearly intended that
revenue stamps should be used on each
separate piece Of scrip. If the courts
should sustain this view It would prac-
tically stop the issue, as the denomi-
nations are as rule so small that the
cost Of the revenue stamps would amount
to practically prohibitive tax. The
officer whose duty 1t is to look after such
matters and enforce this law is United
States District Attorney l. e. Lambert,
who should take up the matter at once
1t remains with him whether quick,
short cut in the effort to abolish the scrip
system shall be taken.

Corporations VS.. Trade Unions.

But while it is evident that the cor
porate form Of conducting business has
been of wide benefit to mankind, des-
pite the abuses which have attached to
II, says Seth Low in the August Allan
tic, there may not be such general ad-
mission of the truth that the trade
union and the labor organization have
been equally beneficial It is sometimes
said that labor organizes because cap
ital does, and that it is obliged to do so
in self-defense. | am far from saying
that there Is no truth In this statement,
but think it is only partial statement
of the truth. Labor organizes, primar-
lily, not simply to contend against cap
ital and for self-defense, but it organizes
for precisely the same reasons that cap
ital does; that is, for its own advantage.
1t organizes In response to tendency
of the times which labor can resist no
more than capital. 1t is the recognition
by labor Of the vision Of the poet, that
the individual withers and the world
is more and more" The individual COM
petitor has been removed from the path
way Of the trust as remorselessly as the
individual laborer has been deprived Of
work by the labor organization. Indeed,
think 1t may be roughly said that there
Is no fault that can be charged against
organized labor which may not be
charged with equal truth against organ
lied capital. The forms in which these
faults exhibit themselves, from the ma
ture of the case, are different, but in both
instances the fault is the same.

WHALERS DO WELL.
Report From Fleet Gives EncOur.
aging 1idiups,

The whalers seem to be doing well
this year, to make up for their hard
luck in 1S96-97. is the news that has
been received at San Francisco. All
those that were frozen in, and to which
the relief expedition was sent by the
Government, have got out of the ice.
with the exception of the Belvedere.
When the ice began to form Captain
Millard managed to work his vessel in
to little bay, where she was consider
ed as safe for the winter as II in a fixed
harbor. That safety has proved her
| undoing SO far, for while the Fearless,
Jeanie, Newport, Rosario and Wander
er are out and are now at Port Clar-
ance, she Is still fast in the ice near
Point Barrow.
OF the vessels that were imprisoned
the Pacific Steam Whaling Company's
tender Jeanie and the steam whaler
Fearless were supposed to be in the
worst position. They were out in the
open, and 1t was feared that when the
ice began to break up they would be
ground to pieces. Some of the others
were expected to share the fate Of the
Jessie II. Freeman, which was nipped
in the ice and went down before Mate
Tilton left Point Barrow for San Fran
cisco. All of them are safe. however
and only one death has so far been re-
ported.
The steam whaler Alexander, instead
of being wrecked, is reported all right
and to have taken five whales. The
bark John and Winthrop had taken one
sperm and two right whales, while the
bark Gayhead had the same number.
The steam whaler William Baylies had
taken six whales and the jeanette
three. while the Karluk had five.
The only bad news is the reported
death OF Captain j. a. Tilton of the
steam whaler Narwhal.
The friends of the captain are 10th
to believe the story and think that in
the hurry of writing Mate Taria made
mistake According to their way of
looking at 1t. the Narwhal was to win
ter at the mouth of Mackenzie River,
and that she would not get out of there
until next month, They cannot, there
fore, understand how the remains of
Captain Tilton would be at Port Clar-
ance when the letter was written. AS
whales seem to be plentiful the other
vessels will do some hunting before
they come home. Everything seems
favorable for a good catch, and the
men who went north two years ago
may do well after all.

pie OF this country are concerned. He
Is to sign as such, to receive as such

This instruction comes from the

Another important matter in the in

summons and warrants are to issue in
the name of the Republic of Hawaii.

beginning OF the August term in bring
ing proceedings In the name of the
Attorney General and the Republic OF
Hawaii is fully sustained. 1t will be
remembered that the matter was ques-
toned in the Hamilton, Edwards and
other cases. 1t Is ruled that the use
OF the words Republic OF Hawaii"
does not necessarily imply independ-
ence in the circumstances.
Vacancies in appointiye offices will
be filled in precisely the manner here
tofore obtaining. Government bureaus
run on as before. 1t Is required, how
ever, that all persons employed by the
Government take the oath to support
the Constitution OF the United States.
The laws regarding United States
lands do not effect or apply to the
government lands of Hawaii. Local
land laws obtain and continue in ac-
tive force until changed by. Congress
in a regular manner. The spirit OF the
communication Is in substantiatlon OF

the details Of future government to
