CLAIMED BY FRANCE
Who Really Is the Owner of
Clipperton IslandP
THE MEXICAN VERSION OF THE CASE
They Assert That the Americans Have
Illegally Obtained Possession of the.
Island, which, Though Small,
Has Rich Guano Deposits.

PARIS. Jan. 5.-A newspaper here as
serts that Clipperton island (over which
the Mexican flag is reported to have
been hoisted by party of marines from
the gunboat Democratic after the stars
and stripes had been hauled down, in
spite of the protests of the Americans
there), really belongs to France, and
adds:
Naturally. the Americans have asked
for the protection Of their government,
but it is Frances duty to re-establish
order in that island, adjudicate between
the Americans and Mexicans and DEM
onstrate our own rights, which have
never been contested"
The news Of the hauling down of the
stars and stripes at Clipperton island
by marines from the Mexican gunboat
Democratic was brought to San Diego
Cal, by passengers on the steamer AL
bion.
Clpperton island contains thousands
of tons of guano, and the company
working the guano hoisted the stars
and stripes over their warehouses some
nine months ago, according to the story
told, and notified the secretary of state
of their action. The Mexicans, however.
on Dec. ii, formally hauled the nag
down and took possession Of the island.
which is situated about 500 miles off
the Mexican coast, almost due west of
Acapulco, in the name Of Mexico.
The Mexican version of the affair is
that the Americans have illegally OBJ
tained possession Of the island. which
is only about four miles in circumfer-
ence and whose vegetation consists OF
two palm trees, though the 10000 tons
Of guano on the island are said to be
valued at 100000
Dispatches from washington on Jan
said no. news OF the reported action
of Mexico had been received at the
state department. 1t was added that
the law permits an American citizen IL
locate upon a guano island. such as
Clipperton island, solely for the purpose
Of taking off the guano, but It mus
be affirmatively shown that the island
is not part of the territory Of another
nation at the time Of the location.
In Lippincott's Gazetteer Clippertor
island is described as an "uninhabitet
annular coral island, claimed by France
in the Pacific"

ITEMS OF INTEREST,

A repetition of the Old story If genius
and poverty comes from PittSburg.
George ". Ferris, the engineer who tie
signed and built The great wheel at the
Nor d's Fair which bore his name, de-
monstrated virtually new principle ia
the building OF wheels of large size; that
is, that tangent spokes could be used to
advantage where direct spOkes would not
answer at all. Ferris was a genius. His
head was full of big ideas, a number of
which he lived to work ont. But he
died in virtual poverty. When his debts
were paid his estate was not worth
enough to pay his funeral expenses.
His body was cremated, and the under
taker who performed the service refuses
to deliver the ashes to the family until
his bill has been paid.
There is an old story of man who
took a seidlitz powder in two portions
AMI let it mix after he had swallowed it,
A young woman ia New York tried the
trick the other day, but she diu not get
off as lightly as the man in the story. 1t
killed her ia few mna tes. An autopsy
revealed the fact that the violent action
Of the acids had caused rupture of the
capillary blood vessels of the stomach
and the formation on the left ventrica
of the heart of blood clot, which caused
death.

As TO THE TAX BATE.

In statement given to the daily pa
pers Governor Atkinson attempts to
excuse the present high tax rate of the
state 1.-THE highest IN its history by
comparing it with other southern
states 'when certain items, including
education, pensions, et3., are not taken
into consideration. In communica-
tion to the Atlanta Constitution TAX.
payer" takes the part of a tax-ridden
people, and knocks the props from I'M
der the governor in the following eff
fectual manner:
The taxpayers of the state are groan
ing under the heaviest tax rate known
IN Georgia since the war, and it is OF
very little comfort to them to be told
that if this is not considered and an
other item is not considered, and this
that or the other thing is not counted
The tax rate would be very much small
er than it is. Every man In Georgia
knows that fact, and it doesn't take
argument to prove it.
The people also know that when they
make their settlements with the tax
collector this worthy official of the
state does not make any exceptions,
but the taxpayer is expected to plank
down his cash in exact measure to the
tax rate or the state. For the wear
1897 the state tax rate was 50. 20 per
$1,000, or - cents on every 800: and
this rate Is to be paid by rich and poor
alike and without the benefit of any
exceptions whatsoever. For the year
1898 it is announced that the tax rate
rate will be 1920 on the S1,00)-an in
crease Of 81 per 81 900 a year-this 60
ing far in excess of the highest tax
rate ever known in Georgia.
Now, it is time to call halt, and the
man who says that the tax rate of
Georgia cannot be reduced is not the
man to catch the public ear or to be
entitled to public confidence at this
time.
1t is absurd to say that if, certain
things were excepted in Georgia the
tax rate in the state would be lower
than in other states, and when the fig
ures are given to demonstrate this 1t
SIMPLY serves to emphasize public dis
approval to the magnitude of the meas
ure which is applied to every taxpayer
in Georgia.

President Dole's Donation.

II is matter of serious doubt if the

the contri butiOn Of $500 sent by Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii for the fund to be
employed for the relief of the victims of
the Maine. President Doe is not pri
vate citizen; he is not merely she head of
a friendly government seeking to express
sympathy IN practical way. He is a
lobbyist, who only lately quilted Wash

pose of attempting to influence legisla.
ton. He is the representative of a com
pany of tilibuSters who hope to profit by
legislation now pending in congress-
His contribution t the Maine fund.
therefore, has the appearance of BID
for favor at Washington. He would, up
on the face of tue matter, turn the appall-
ing disaster in Havana harbOr to the
advantage of his annexation scheme by
the use of money. 1t may be, Of course,
that MIR. Dole rendered his contribution
with the purest motives; but if he did
he chose mighty poor time for doing
1t. The annexation treaty is to be con
