How the Browns Turned Out.

From the Syracuse Courier.
Elijah Brown, the cobbler, was enamored
of the muse,
And all his time was given up to stanzas
and to shoes.
He scorned TO live a tuneless life, inglo-
riously mute,
And nightly laid his last aside to labor at
For he had registered an oath that lyrical
renoWn
Should trumpet to the universe the worthy
name of Brown.
And, though his own weak pinions failed
to reach the nights of song,
His genius Matched a brilliant scheme to
help his oath along:
And all his little youngsters as they num-
erously came.
He christened after poets in the pantheon
of fame.
That their poetic prestige might impress
them. and inspire
A noble emulation to adopt the warbling
Tyre.
And Virgil Brown and Dante Brown and
Tasso Brown appeared.
And Milton Brown and Byron Brown and
Shakespeare Brown were reared.
Longfellow Brown and Schiller Brown ar
rived at mans estate,
And Wordsworth Brown and Goldsmith
Brown filed up the family slate
And he believed his gifted boys, predestin-
tined to renown,
In time would roll the boulder from the
buried name OF Brown.
But still the epic is unsung, and still that
worthy name
Is missing from the pedestals upon the hills
of fame;
For Dante Browns peddler in the vege-
table line,
And Byron Brown is pitching for the Tus-
carora nine:
Longfellow Brown, the lightweight, is a
pugiist of note,
And Goldsmith Browns deckhand on a
Jersey ferryboat;
In Wordsworth Brown, Manhattan has an
estimable cop,
And Schiller Browns an artist in a Brook
Ign BARRIERS shop:
rowing tar is Virgil Brown upon the
bounding seas,
And Tasso Brown is usually engaged in
making cheese;
The cobbler's bench is Milton Browns and
there he pegs away,
And Shakespeare Brown makes cocktails in
a Cripple Greek cafe.

Buncomhe Tax reduction raIlx.

The Governors statement relative to the
state tax rate shows that the talk of the
gubernatorial candidates about reducing
taxation is pretty mucn all buncombe. The
Morning News has pointed out several
times that the talk of these candidates as
to what they would do in the way OF re-
duciug taxes if they were successful in
their political aspirations was exceedingly
misty. As the Governor explains the tax
rate has been increased within the last
two or three years because the leglsla-
ture has increased the appropriation for
schools, and has pensioned ex-Confederate
soldiers and the widows of ex-Confederate
soldiers. As no one of the candidates hes
limited that, if elected Governor, he would
try to have the school appropriation re-
duced or the pensions cut off, it Is simply
a waste Of time to try to impress the people
with the belief that It is possible. without
touching these two things, to make a
big reduction in the tax rate.
1t is possible of course, to introduce
small economies here and there. but the
amount which could be saved in that way
wouldn't be large enough to justify a re-
duction in the tax rate.
Besides, the Governor hasn't as much to
do with fixing the rate of taxation as the
legislature has. The Governor has only
the power to recommend. The legislature
makes the appropriations. 1t has the pow
er to say how much money shall be raised
by taxation.
Now that this matter is being better TN
derstood, we shall not hear so much from
the gubernatorial candidates probably
about what they would do in the way of
reducing taxes if elected to the Governor
ship.
The surest way to bring about a reduc-
ton of taxation Is TO increase the taxable
wealth of the state. The other day we pub
gished an article showing that the taxable
wealth of Irwin county had been nearly
doubled In one year by the planting of
colony of Western home seekers within
its limits. There are hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of good land in the state,
awaiting Improvement This land CON
tributes very little now to the states in
come but if it were put under cultivation
II would contribute a great deal Let us
invite immigrants who win open farms,
build mills and work our mines. BY maxi
ing our state rich we can reduce the tax
rate greatly, and, that too. without Grip
ping our schools or cutting down the pen
sion appropriations-that Is, if the politi-
clans don't find ways of spending the pub
lie money as fast as the states income in
creases.
1t would be advisable to put a check on
the politicians, and the first thing in that
direction that ought to be DONE is to pro-
vide for biennial sessions of the legislature.
By having only one session of thirty days
every two years. at least $4,000 a year
could be saved to the state, and the oppor-
tunities of the politicians to get their
hands into the treasury would be fewer.
Let our gubernatorial aspirants advocate
| something that is practical in the way of
reforms and the people viii feel a deeper
interest in their campaigns.

A story of Fact.

George Seaman was troubled, as any
man might be who had two pretty daugh-
tiers and did not know which one was be-
ing courted by the young man in the case,
says the Chicago Journal.
For months William Wallace, p years
old, black-haired and handsome and with
a snug sum laid by, had been frequent
visitor, but the two motherless girls We're
equally puzzled by his attentions. Some
times Belle thought she was the one he
was making love to, but when she COM
pared notes with Annie she found he had
been impartial. So they smiled at each
other over the situation and tried a little
harmless flirting with the boy for amuse-
ment
(which one of the girls do you suppose
William wants, mother?" asked George
Seaman of his mother, who made her
home with-him. But grandma only laugh
ed little strangely and said:
''Mebbe he don't want either one; mebbe
he's courtin' mel" and then, as Widow
Seaman is 60, her son laughed and said,
Like as not he is!'
Yesterday grandma's place in the CHM
ney corner was vacant, and William came
not 10 eat doughnuts and drink hard CT
der in the good old West Virginia way.
But telegram from Wheeling, signed by
George Seamans mother, read:
Il was right-it was me. We are mar
ried and are going West"
Then the girls looked at each other in
dismay. Their beau had eloped with their
grandmother.

Secretary of War Alger hasn't got much
glory out of his reindeer scheme for the
relief of the Klondike miners. He has
found out that the miners are not in need
of relief. and therefore, he has for sale
five hundred and twenty-nine reindeer,
which cost the government a large amount
of money and big lot of supplies of one
kind and another. He could not have
spent less than 100000, and the chances
are that when he has sold the reindeer
and the supplies the government will be
loser of at least $4,000.
Secretary Alger may have been a first
class business man when he was much
younger than he is now, but this Klondike
relief scheme of his is calculated to leave
the impression that he has lost his grip.
If he makes many more such ventures
the impression will get abroad that he is
about as well qualified to manage the
war department as Secretary Sherman is
to conduct the state department
At no time, judging from the newspaper
reports, were the Klondike miners in any.
danger of starving. The Secretary of War
doesn't seem to have made any serious
efforts to find out their actual condition
before giving orders TO buy herd of rein
deer and collect supplies. Anyway, he
could have hardly helped knowing that if
there was actual danger of suffering for
food at Dawson City or elsewhere in the
Klondike region, at the time the question
of sending relief there was under
consideration, the miners would either
starve 10 death before his rein
deer scheme could be carried out
or else relief would reach them
by other means. He may get the credit
for good intentions. but he has not added
anything 10 his reputation for business
sagacity IL the country should have the
misfortune 10 get into a war with Spain
or other power the war department would
have to exhibit better business sense than
has been displayed in this reindeer relief
scheme or else the United States wouldn't
make such a showing as would add great
ly to their glory.

CONFIRMATION of a Fish story.

While several Klondikers were yester>
day buying dried salmon for food for
their dogs teams, says the Portland Ore
gonian, several persons who are not going
TO Klondike stopped to discuss the value
of dried salmon as food for dogs, and
one of them brought up a story, printed
in the Oregonian a few days since, about
three Jersey cows at a mission in Alaska
being fed all winter on dried salmon and
giving plenty of milk, which furnished
an abundance Of cream Several of the
crowd expressed doubts as to the truthful
ness of the story, when one of the Klon-
dikers said he knew it to be true. He
had lived in Alaska for several years, and
was there the winter when the hay and
mill feed al the mission spoken of gave
out, and had seen the cows eating the
dried FISH and had drunk cream from their
milk in his coffee
OF course, no one could dispute such
testimony as this, especially as the man,
on being pressed, admitted that the coffee
had a slightly fishy taste. He further
stated that when the winter was over and
the storms were passed, and the gentle
sunshine came at last, and the grass grew
and the flowers blew" and the Jersey
cows went out and gamboled on the green
they never failed to come up on Friday
to eat fish, and nothing could persuade
Them to eat anything but fish on that
day. The dealer laid out three large dog
salmon, extra, as a sign of his apprccia-
ton of the truthfulness of his customer.

A welcome to a Monarch.

Three men were discussing the proDrie-
ty of the call made by President McKin-
ley upon President Dole, says the New
York Sun. The discussion brought out this
story:
Il think old Harvey D. Colvin knew how
to do things when it came to entertaining
folks from abroad, especially hand-me--
was Mayor of Chicago when Kalakau
passed over the country in search of a
loan. Colvin was rough and ready, end
wore a shirt with ruffie front and a dia-
mond in the middle, which always made
me think of a barkeeper. on his day eff.
When the King and his suite arrived in
Chicago, Colvin and his staff were at the
station, and the Mayor took the King by
the hand as warmly as if the King had
been a ward politician. The carriages
moved quickly to the Grand Pacific Ho-
tel. Clark street was damned with peo-
pie clamOring for the King TO come out.
The hour was early in the day. AT the
request ofrMayor Colvin Kalakaua step
ped out on the veranda and bowed. The
populace, unused to sights of Kings In
flesh, yelled Mayor Colvin waved his
hand and shouted:
His majesty, the King of the Sand
witch Islands,
THE populace yelled, laughed and boot
ed. Then the Mayor, remembering the
early hour, turned to his royal guest and
said:
Well, King, you must be tired. Better
go and wash up and then Wen have break

Truth About the Drainage.


The grand jury of the Superior Ceurt
had a good deal to say about the condition
of the drains in the vicinity of the city
and OF the need of drainage work in the
report which it made on Tuesday, and
which was published in the Morning
News yesterday Those citizens Of San
vannah who have not read it should do
so. 1t fully sustans the Morning News
in the efforts which it has been making
for nearly a year to have the County
Commissioners put the completed drains in
good condition and to give its attention to
the draining of the swamps and wet lands
near the city before draining far-away
Buckhalter swamp.
The men who composed the grand jury
cannot be accused of feeling of hostility
to the County Commissioners. Their re-
port is remarkably conservative, and
shows that they have dealt with the COM
missioners as leniently as they could. They
evidently felt. however. that grave re-
sponsibiity rested upon them, and, hence.
they discharged their duty faithfully, not
only pointing out what should be done in
the way of drainage but also putting the
responsibility for failure to do the neces-
sary drainage work where it belongs.
We are at the beginning of spring, and
owing to a remarkably dry winter we may
necessarily expect a great deal of rain be-
tween now and midsummer. With swamps
and low lands full of water during the hot
weather there would be great danger Of
serious sickness. But with this danger
apparent the County Commissioners are
not doing what the grand jury clearly
thinks ought to be done to avert 1t.
If the city should suffer from an unusual
amount of sickness next summer the peo-
pie would know upon whom to place the
blame. They have been told so often that
drainage work needed for the protection
of the citys health is not being done that
they would not need an investigation in
order to fix the responsibility for the sick
ness. They would not be so apathetic then
as they are now. The danger to which
they would be exposed would make
them bitter in their denunciation
of those who have failed to put the
lands adjacent to the city in good sanitary
condition. Every one hopes, of course,
that there will be no occasion for CRITICS.
ing and condemning any official, but if
there should be, the action of the people
will be in striking contrast to the indiffer-
ence they are now showing in the matter
of drainage.
