In making up the war revenue
bill, Dingley's committee seems to,
have followed the example OF the
Sultan Of Turkey, who, when his
Grand Vizier told him the money
chest was empty, asked: GLOW do
Won tax the people2" "By the
head" was the reply. Light OF
the Earth" exclaimed the Sultan,
"then tax them by the fingers. "
The Republican party, which owes
its present unholy lease Of power to
trusts. combines and monopolies,
aid not want to tax the heads of the
nation in time OF war, but preferred
rather. to lay the burden upon the
fngers--the people. They do not
wa5tthe burdens of taxation to bear
equally upon all. That was not
nominated in the bond when ~ J
Marx Hanna raised the SIG, OOO,0sOC

feat tie will of the people and buy

Avoys' scores we're up in the 9O's. The
last string Was one that decided the
game. III the Pawtuckets could hold
their own the victory would be assured,
but the fact was known that the Music
Halls can roll fast third string, and
have won many games by so doing. The
half showed that the Pawtuckets had
increased their lead, as McDougall was
doing grand work. Every frame saw the
home team gain. and they won the string
by 80 pins and the game by AZ.
MoDouRall of the home team broke. the
three-string record of s95 held by Jack
McAvoy, and mode the new mark OF 300
even. McDougall also rolled up the
high single string of Jog. Lowering rolled
a strong game for the Music Halls, his
total OF 270 being high score for mis- team.

Mr.. HIT dwelt upon the effect OF this
extension of belligerent rights to the in
surgents. arguing that il would give
Spanish cruisers the right OF search and
impose a great hardship on the Cubans,
who were without a navy. A three mile
line about Cuba was now the limit of the
Spanish cruisers right OF search. A
declaration of belligerency would allow
SPANS warships to hunt our vessels on
the high seas. In the existing situation
good men sympathizirg with Cuba's
cause were constantly making their way
to the islands. Supplies. guns and am
munition were going from the United
States. Il was said that every pound OF
powder fred IN the cause Of Cuha's free
dom had come from this country. No
Spanish cruiser could now molest our
vessels on the high seas. Members
might ask why with all these disadvan-
tages In stc.e for them the agents Of the
