THE GovEHNoH's REcOMMENDA-


The action Of the Governor in making
recommendation for the reduction Of the
rate OF taxation. or at east to bring the
| states expenses within its income, cannot
/ but meet the approval of his friends BY
/ this it is not meant that they viii all ac-
/ cepr his recommended lions as the wisest
/ that could be made, but that he is to be
commended for frankly telling the legis-
Iature what ne thinks ought to be done
to get the state out of as financial diff
culties,
Briefly, the Governor recommends that
the appropriation for pensions be cut down
so hat IL VIII only cover the pensions Of
those pensioners who are in INDECENT cir
cumstances In his opinion, those who
have an income of their own, or who are
able to earn a living, can wait until the
state is better able 10 pay pensions in ac-
cordance to the very liberal pension policy
now in force.
lie is 10th 70 interfere in any way with
The public school fund, but he thinks that
the schools can get along for couple Of
years, at least. without the extra 100000
therefore, recommends that chat sum be
left off for The next two years. Al the end
of that time a new taxing system or better
times may enable the legislature to re
store that extra amount 10 the fund. The
Governor is also Of the opinion that the
public Institutions can stand some reduc-
ton in the appropriations usually given
them, because the cost Of living is con-
siderably less than il was when these APP
propriations were fixed at the amounts the
institutions are now receiving.
There will be very general regret, of
course, that it has been found necessary
to drop the $4,000 recently added to the
school fund. The great majority of the
people have begun to realize that good
schools are most potent factor in the
growth of the state in wealth and popula
ton. Still IL conditions are such that all
they would like TO have done for the
schools cannot be done at present, they
viii wait patiently until the state is able
to give them greater assistance than she
is able to give them now. The people viii
not complain if the pension roll is thor
oughly revised, because they know there
are many persons receiving pensions
who are better abe to do without them
than the great majority of the taxpayers
are to pay them. Only INDECENT Confeder-
ate veterans and INDECENT widows of Con-
federate veterans should receive assist
ance from the state.
1t is regrettable that the Governor did
not recommend that steps be taken at once
IN favor of Biennial sessions Of the legis-
lature. Why should Georgia cling to the
annual session system when ali of the
other states, except five, have adopted the
biennial system? Why not save from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year by abandoning an
nual sessions and going to biennial ses-
sions2 Surely the politicians do not insist
upon gathering at the state capital every
year to gossip about politics at an expense
every two years of $4,000 TO the tax
payers. If we are going to have reform let
us strike at the privileges Of the politi-
clans. as wen as at The schools, which are
so much needed by the peop.e.

The Atlanta Constitution says: There
is one fact which deserves the serious at
tention Of the Democrats. namely, that
nearly every paper which opposed the
Chicago platform, or which was in favor
of the gold standard, is now hotiy OPP
posed TO the idea of expansion" What
about the Democratic leaders? Why
doesn't the Constitution call attention to
the position they have taken in respect
to the idea of expansion? Why does it
keep in the background the fact that Col.
Bryan, the leader of the Democratic party
in the last national campaign, was one
of the first Democrats to declare his oppo-
sition to the policy of expansion? There
is no doubt about Col Bryan's fidelity to
the Chicago platform, is there? And how
about the Hon. Mr.. Bailey, the Demo-
cratic leader of the House? Where does
he stand in respect to the idea of expan-
sion? Is he not against it? The Consti-
tuition is not against il. but it doesn't fol-
low from that fact that all the leaders
of the Democratic party are in favor of
il, or that the Democratic papers which
the campaign of 1896 are opposing the pol
icy of expansion because they want to OBJ
scure the silver issue The Constitution
seems to think that their aim is to OBJ
seure' that issue. 1t doesn't give them
credit for being honestly against the pol
icy of expansion 1t probably claims. how
ever, that it itself is honest in favoring
the policy of expansion. Does it also
think that Col. Bryan and MIR. Bailey are
trying 10 sldetrack the silver issue be-
cause they oppose The policy of expansion?
II not, why should it assume that the
Democratic papers which oppose that pol
icy are not doing so because they are
honestly opposed to it, but because they
want TO draw the attention of Democrats
away from the silver question? Wouldn't
Il be better for the Constitution 10 con-
fine itself to arguments, showing that ex-
pansiop is a good thing for the country
rather than to devote so much of its space
TO attacking the good faith of those papers
which are against che acquisition of the
Philippines. and the policy of expansion
which the President has adopted?

.R|OTING IN PORTO R|CO'
HACIENDAS AND SUGAR MILLS
DESTROYED BY MOBS.
Twenty-nine Houses in the Town of
Coto Burned and the Business Plac-
es Looted

NEW YORK, August 2O.-A cable to
the Sun from Ponce says: Twenty
nine houses in the town of Coto were
burned yesterday by Porto Ricans
Two other houses were torn down and
bank and all of the business houses
were looted.
Coto is a small town five miles from
Ponce. Half the population are Span
ish, and the stores belonged to them.
A night Waterman who was on
guard was held up at 5 o'clock in the
morning, by three Porto Ricans, who
thrust revolvers into his face and
threatened to kill him. The watch
man ran away, and the men then lit
torches and began TO destroy proper
ty They chopped In doors, tore off
and smashed in blinds, and finally set
fire to one block of the finest build
ings in town, owned by Spanfards and
containing all the business of the lit
tie place.
The Spanish residents fed to the
woods The mob attacked the bank
building with pickaXes and shovels
and succeeded in smashing the vault.
but they got very little cash.
After rifing the vault of its con-
tents the mob set fire to the building,
the crowd cheering as the flames rose
in the air and yelling death to the
SPANISH" Death to Spain!" etc.
When the disorder was at its height
Major Parkhill of General Wilson's
staff, came along on his way from
Ponce to the front, and Lieutenant
Lawton with thirty-one men of the
Ninteenth infantry also came up and
they quickly quelled the riot.
PONCE, August O.-Turbulent af-
fairs continue. apparently growing
out of the violence connected with
the partial destruction of the village
of Coto yesterday, followed by num-
erous fires last night.
Several houses of Spanish residents
were burned in Nauco last night. and
this morning reports show that incen-
diaries have been at work destroying
haciendas and sugar mills all over the
| island.
Evidence is accommodating showing
the existence of a plot among the ma
tives to destroy the property of the
! Spanish residents. There is no long
er any reasonable doubt that the in
cendiarism is the result of concerted
action which probably originated in
Ponce. where vengeful sufferers of the
| inquisition of 1883 have congregated
since the American occupation.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and decided to try it. I soon noticed
a change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly
healthy.-C. L. BOGGS. Stumptown,
