4 REPUBLICAN SCHEME.

When the revenue hill To raise
money to prosecute the war against
Spain was prepared by the Ways and
Means Committee no Democrat WIS
consulted. 1t was the idea OF the
Republicans To have measure
strictly partisan in character, strictl,
i'll the interest of Republicans, and
then to force the Democrats in Con-
gress to vote for it under the'plea that
1t WAS Il war measure and it would be
-unpatriotic' tn oppose it. This sort
OF bulldozing is cvideutly going to be
the method followed by the admins.
tration party. and the Republican
press has received Instructions from
Boss Hanna, whose cringing slave it
is. to work the -Obstructionist racket"
for NIL II is worth. There can be no
doubt that there are many things III
the revenue bill which should not be
there, but much more is it true that
there are many things not i'll that bill
that should he i'll it. Necessities OF
life are taxed tn the utmost, but in
comes aud luxurics are not touched.
The poor mans glass of beer and his
pipe must be levied on To help pay the
expenses Of war. To he sure. the rich
man bought protection during the
last Presidential canpaign by paying
large SUES Of none! to Hanna, but
there was no talk Of war then, and the
bargain ought to be declared or be-
cause OF the change in conditions.
While tile Republican majority in
Congress voted checrfully to tax the
necessities Of the people, the inquiry
will not down rs to why such corpo-
rations as the giant Standard OIL COM
binc should escape without the tri.
butte of IA single penny 20 the war
fund. Why should the man who has
to spend money for the necessities OF
life bc forced to pay tax on every
cen: he spends, while the man who
receives an income OF $1,000 n day
does not have to pay a cent Of tax?
And yet administration papers say
Democrats are "obstructionists" be-
cause those same Democrats want to
cqualizr the burden Of war by maxi
ing the rich help the poor to cary it

the official that he would have one of
his spring suits cleaned. and he hailed
the man. thinking he was in charge of
the wagon. However, the fellow proved
to he thief aud had just robbed a hall
rack in ncighboring boarding house.
When the official cried ont to him:
"Sny. mister, have a suit wish YOU

the situation and saw that he Ind been

and growth of this Epworth league
from the respective churches, and re-
joicing in the spirit of fraternity man
ifested at their biennial international
conference. in the absence of any legal
provision for it. it is suggested to the
general conferences the propriety of
recognizing and regulating it by
legal provisions,
Third-That the general confer
ences Of the respective churches be re-
commended to adopt measures for the
administration of their publishing in
terests. both in China and Japan.
Fourth-That while approaching
fully the Christian comfy prevailing

and having given careful considera-
ton to the principle and desirability
of cooperative administration as
means of lessening the expenditure of
funds in the prosecution of the work.
the commission may. without att einpt
ing to formulate any plan for such CO.
operation, commend the subject to the
consideration of the two general con-
ferences.
Fifth-It was further agreed. for
the prevention of hurtful competition.
that in places where either church is
established and supplying the needs
of the people new work shall not be

(2) That the years 1900 and 1901

ton to all our people and of their gifts
to the cause.
(3) That it is the imperative duty of
the Protestant church to provide in
the city of Washington a university
Christian, catholic, tolerant and
American-having for its sole aim
postgraduate and professional study
and original research, and that the
American university is worthy of the
confidence and benefactions of the
people in all orr churches
We therefore recommend that the
claims of this institution be COM
mended to both churches for special
contributions during the closing year
of the present and the opening year
of the coming cen fury.
We also agree to recommend to the
general conferences of the two
churches provision for the reception
of ministers from one church to the
other without loss of orders in minis
