one Good Result OF War Tax.
The war taxes are setting many a
protectionist's cork a. bobbing.
They are making patent, glee-
fully sings Dingley soloist,
sseven to the most ardent free-tra-
der. the superiority of the Ameri-
can system of protection as a
means of taxation. In
Europe. where the stamp taxes,
even in times of peace, are impos-
ed ON a much larger number of
things, the people usually acqui-
esce. But the system does not
suit the American. He does not
like to be reminded of the exist
ence of the government at every
turn and to see its mailed hand
every time he writes a check or
draws a deed. He submits with
cheerfulness to it during time of
war as a patriotic duty, but it is a
nuisance, nevertheless, and one
which he would not put up with
in time of peace"
OF course not. The American
will buy a gold brick, but he
doesn't want to be reminded of it
at every turn. The American, ac-
cording to the Dingley soloist, is a
budding ninny who likes to be
robbed if he doesn't know it. He
doesn't want to see the mailed
hand of the tax gatherer every
time he buys anything to wear or
eat; this is too much like being
'held up"
The protectionist knows our
cheerful American citizens from
the top of his head to his pocket
book. He tells the tax man to stay
away from him and Mr.. Dingley
will do the assessing. After Mr..
Dingley gets through with him the
cheerful American citizen does not
see the mailed hand, but he has
paid the tax. This. of course,
makes the foreigner mad, as he al
ways has been. given the exclusive
right to pay the cheerful Ameri-
can taxes.
Verify, as our protectionist sol
DIST declares, "the war taxes are
having one good result" They
are airing the musty theories in
the protectionist's headgear-Chic-

regarding the appeals made to him by
high Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in
America to protect the religious orders
in the islands.
The expulsion of the friars, the COM

Suspicious cases of rover Among Texas
Troops.

Troops.
Houston, Aug 27.-State Health Off
Ger Blunt was seen after his return
from Galveston and asked about the
suspicious case of fever at tnat point.
''The case went to investigate"
said the doctor, was that of soldier
named Goodwin. %, located with the
troops at Fort Point, about mile and
a half from Galveston. He has been
there since April 1. Without going
into technical description of the case
I can simply say to you. as I said to
the people of Galveston. that the case
is an extremely suspicious one, with
nearly all the complete symptoms OF
yellow fever. This opinion was con-
CURED in by DR.. Fly and other physi-
clans of Galveston, and under these
circumstances 1 deemed 1t but prudent
to quarantine Galveston and await de-
velopments. This quarantine will be
kept up for two or three days, within
which time developments will occur
which will determine positively
whether or not the case is one of yell
low fever.
1.-The quarantine will be inforced
strictly as to passengers coming out of
Galveston. Mails will be permitted to
go IN ana Out unuer certain reSIrlc-
tons. and all freights will be permit
ted to go into Galveston. But no
freight will be permitted to come out,
except by special permit
1.-The case of sickness is thoroughly
isolated. Fort Point is about mile
and half from the city proper. and
besides a cordant between it and the
city, the patient has been thoroughly
isolated from the balance of the troops
and everything with which he has
come in contact has been destroyed
and every precaution taken to prevent
the spread of the disease. I have es-
tablished a state quarantine to prevent
the annoyance of lot of local quar-
antines."

Free silver the onIy Issue.

Free Silver the Only Issue.
What has given the Republican
party the courage to come ont fair
ly and squarely for the single gold
standard2 asks the Chicago Dis
patch.
In the light of the history of the
party for the last quarter of cen
tury-a history of quibbling. doub-
lie dealing and ambuscade on the
money question the. new depart
ure cannot fail to excite surprise
and remark.
Explanation is easy, however
when it is remembered that repub-
licans claimed that dollar wheat
was the result of the Dingley tariff,
and that the modicum of prospect
ty which followed was brought
about through the benifcent in
fuence of Republican Legislation.
In the presence of prosperity
based upon an exceptional condi-
ton of affairs abroad famine in
India and short crops in wheat
producing countries-the Repub-
icans have gained courage enough
to throw off the mask of bimet-
allism and advocate the single
gold standard.
That the Democratic party well
comes a battle in the opening
made manifest by the action of its
State Convention, which have uni
formerly demanded the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of 16 to L, and
have enthusiastically recognized
the Chicago platform as containing
the declaration of Democratic prin-
oiples.
In 1896 the Republicans fought
under cover. The st. Louis plat
form was cowardly evasion of the
issue, and the republican party to-
day admits this fact by refraining
from approval of that compact of
dishonor.
The Republicans, at the in
stance of the Republican Ring of
robbers, are industriously circulat-
ing all sorts of falsehoods about
Mr.. Chas. E. McCuIloch, the Dem
ocratic candidate for County Com
missioner. They want to defeat
him that they may be enabled to
continue in robbing the Taxpayers.
The meeting of the Democratic
County Executive Committee for
consultation, held Saturday, was
largely attended by prominent
Democrats. many of whom offered
some good suggestions for conduct
ing the campaign in this county.
A committee of finance was APP
pointed, and Mr.. John R. Ray
burn was elected Treasurer of the
County Executive Committee. The
general opinion expressed, was,
that the Democrats could carry Ma
son county, if the committee and
the Democrats worked harmon1-
ously together in the conduct of
the campaign.
There is no doubt but whole
jobs of gold standard prosperity
are in store for the hords of the
faithful who get fat appointments
in Porto Rico, Hawaii, Manila,
Cuba and other foreign posses
sions" of this country, in the near
future.

Not q I,epnDlican war.

No Democrat will attempt to
take away one iot or title of the
praise Mr.. Mckinley has earned
by his attention to and discharge
of the duties which the crisis threw
upon him. But he has at no time
claimed that he was directing Re-
publican wac ST Louis Republic.
Fittings turn out as indicated
by reports large demand is in
sight for the products of American
soil. Russia, Great Britain and
Japan are facing the possibility of
a conflict on the other side of the
world, and should they get into a
conflict their soldiers and people
must be fed, and the United States
must feed them. With the i'm
mense crops which bless our peo-
pie this year, it will be an easy job
to do, and would be gladly done.

The issues in this state.

On the Spanish war, the causes
for which it was declared, and the
general result, there is no division
of opinion. The war was declared
by a unanimous vote of Congress
All money required for the prose-
cution of the war was voted with a
like unanimity. All men of every
party. or of no party, have Joined
hands on the war question. There.
is no room for a political issue
here.
But there is room for difference
of opinion on the conduct of the
affairs of the State by the Republi-
can Governor and Legislature, and
on the probability that the Demo
cratic. party will do better. This
is the issue the Democrats propose
TO present. And if they present
with the issue candidates for the
Legislature in each county and
district the State, men whose
character and ability are sufficient
guarantee of needed reforms, they
will be doing the best thing open
to them. By these signs we con-
Charleston Gazette.
The silly attempt of Republi-
cans to mislead the people into be-
lieving that the Democratic party
is in favor of repudiating the $780,
600 debt created by Republi-
can Ring rule and Encouragement
is too contemplate to talk about.
The Democrats favor the payment
of every outstanding order; and it
is not within the power of the
County Court to repudiate single
dollar of the debt. IF Mr.. McCul-
loch is elected Commissioner every
dollar of the debt now entaled
upon the county by Republican
County Court will be paid. After
that is accomplished he will see
that another debt is not contracted;
and all appropriations will be kept
within the law
Among the splendid specimens
of intellectual manhood, that this
campaign has brought out, the
peoplewill recognize in Mr.. @. S.
p. Edwards. of New Haven, and
Mr.. Chas. Bryan, of Hannah. No
matter what is the politics of the
voter, he will recognize the emil
nent fitness and ability of these
young men for the Legislature.
There never was time when it
YVES more important for the Demo
Gratis to elect majority of the
House than in this years campaign,
and, notwithstanding the professed
confidence of the Republicans, they
have more than fighting chance
to do it, if they can only arouse
the voters sufficiently to bring out
their full strength.
The administration doesn't seem
to be in any hurry about taking
the country into its confidence as
to what it intends to do about the
Sultan's refusal to pay for the
property of American missionaries
destroyed by Turkish mob.
