TRIALS AND FINES.
Report of Prosecutor PUEh of Police
Court Matters.

The annual report of Mr. James L. Pugh,
jr., the Districts prosecuting officer in the
Police Court, filed today with that of the
attorney for the District, shows that dur
ing the fiscal year ending June so, 1898,
1910 cases were tried on the District side
of the court, the fines collected amounting
to 81, 1928, a slight increase in the cases
filed and IL the fines paid over the preced-
ing year.
Mr.. Pugh again calls attention to the law
in respect to water service. repeating his
recommendation Of last year, which was as
follows:
''This law only applies to the city linn
its, and the water service having been ex-
tended almost to the entire District, this
law cannot be said to apply to offenses in
that portion of the District lying outside
of the city limits. A new law, meeting
present conditions should be drafted, ap-
plicable to the entire District of Colum-
bia."
The cases tried during the past year on
the District side of the Police Court were
as follows: Aiding and abetting violation
of the liquor law, i; barber shop open on
Sunday, Z; bar room open on Sunday. 10;
bar room open after hours, 8; bathing in
Potomac river. 10; cruelty to animals, tSa;

capital exceeding A5 coo, for every addi
tional 81 OG0 in excess of S25, ,OOO 81; and in
estimating capital surplus shall be in
cluded.'
1T is therefore plain that by the laws OF
the United States now in force there is
special tax imposed on all capital, includ-
ing surplus, which istpayable to the United
States; but there is mo tax or duty impos-
ed upon the capital stock of national bank
ing associations. There is no law of the
United States in force imposing any tax
on the shares of the capital stock of ma
tfonal banks. Section II of the act of 1877
having been adjudged to be imperative,
there is no statute in force in the District
of Columbia authorizing the Commission
ers to list for taxation the capital. the cap
ital stock or the shares of capital stock
of the national hanks

The greatest hindrance to this
or any other town is the man who
thinks he must antagonize every
thing that is proposed. If our
people would learn TO pull to-
gether the world couldn't beat us.
-----------------l--z- -------
The Curtis bill ought never to
have been passed while Vinita's
park case was pending in the
courts. 1t will depend largely
upon how that famous case is de-
cided as to whether the Curtis bill
is "go" or not. Congress is under.
taking too many things at once.
The proposition to have the
water works, that we are to have,
owned by the city may be all right
in theory, but where is the money
to come from to construct them?
If we are going to walt until enough
money has been raised by taxation
there are few of us living who will
see them completed. 1t is fact
that bonds can be issued, but un-
til we can tax real estate any bonds
issued would be pretty slow sale,
and pretty low as we'll.

A Fable.

A wolf, finding that the sheep were
SO afraid of him that he could not get
near them, disguised himself in
the clothing of a shepherd, and thus
attired approached the flock. AS he
came near, the sheep only looked at
him and were not alarmed. AS the
sheep did not run away, he finally re-
solved to initiate the voice of the
shepherd, but in trying to do SO he
only howled. He not only scared the
sheep away but awoke the shepherd
who proceeded to kill him. The moral
of this little fable is, that he whose
only stock in trade is a clumsy imita-
tion, must soon be found out and fail.
The same old story Of conflicting
interests stand in the way of an
agreement being reached by the
national council at Tahiequah.
The townsite people will have to
be conciliated. the men with big
farms will have to be cared for,
the white man, and the Shawnee,
and the Delaware, and the freedmen
will all have individual interests to
be protected. By the time all
these things are lugged into an
agreement it would not be accept
able to any considerable portion Of
the Cherokee people,

ana The pOSSeSSOrS thereof.
In the house last Wednesday Congress-
man Lewis of Washington quoted a tele-
gram which, he said, Senator Hanna had
received from Frankfort, Germany,
signed by A. Seligman, as follows: II
congratulate you on your election. It is
most satisfactory to me-"
That message, he said, came from the
man who helped to place mortgage on
this government of 100000, 900. lis
insolence, he said, had no parallel in
history, save the message sent by Ponti-
us Plate to the executioner Of Jesus
Christ congratulating him that his work
was we'll done.
Mr.. Grosvcnor interrupted to ask if
Mr.. Lewis was aware that MIR. Seligman
was an American citizen.
81 am" responded Mr.. Lewis. "He is
AN unpatriotic American cltizen.''
Mr.. Grosvenor recalled the fact that
Mr.. Seligman, with the credit of his
house, rendered invaluable aid to the
union cause during the war. To this
Mr.. Lewis replied with the statement
that Mr.. Seligman had removed his resi-
dence from this country at a time when
he feared the income tax law would
compel him to pay his share to the sup
port of the government.
"He is the last man, said he, "whom
I should take pride IN calling an Amerl-

Chicago Pest: Ignatius Dounelly has
ceased his wooing to announce that in
occasional respites from the taxing STRAIN
of courtship he has discovered that Lord
Bacon is not only responsible for the
works commonly attributed to Shakes
peare, but for much of Ben Johnson's
literary labor, as we'll as for the "Don
Quixote" accredited to Cervantes.. One
very strong point that we cannot over
look is that johnson and Bacon were
temporaneous, and that Cervantes
fourished in the same glorious age. By
the same line of reason we find that Lord !
Bacon, not content with these achiev-
ments, is responsible for the writings OF
Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter Raleigh,
Edmund Spenser, Sir Edward Coke,
George Chapman, Beaumont and Fetch
er, Izaak Walton and George Herbert,
and if the cryptogram does not show it
the cryptogram is away off. Lord Ba-
con was very busy and Industrious
man, and when he was not fooling with
new styles in cryptograms he was doing
work for other persons who were too in
dolent or too Ignorant to make their
own literary regulations. The only rea-
son why Bacon did not write the Can
terbury Tales and the Decameron is that |
Chaucer and Boccaccio were foolish and
inconsiderate enough to die before Ba-
con was born. The same reason deprived
Bacon Of the fun Of producing the
Inferno, though he seems to have been
successful In raising more Of it than poor
old Dante, with all his Imagination,
could conjure. We congratulate Mr..
Donnelly on his important disco ver1es,
and we wish him blissful and long
continued honey moon.
