There was some discussion as to til e
payment of the bills from the Times

linquen. tax suit printing. Judge
Coldwell thought it hardly fair to pay
one party without paying the other,
and there had been squabble over
McKie's bill. This ad been referred to
ex-City Attorney Townsend, and Judge
Coldwell asked what had been the
outcome of the reference. No one
seemed to know beyond the suppos ed
agreement that when the taxes were
collected, the bills would be paid

Chicago is to hold a peace jubilee at an
early day. A number of distinguished
persons have been invited to attend In
Guiding Col Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan has
not been invited. Ex-Gov. Altgeld has
declared against the jubilee, alleging that
the absence of Mr.. Bryan's name from the
list of guests shows that it is intended
to be a Republican political blowout. On
the other hand, it is claimed that only
those who have distinguished themselves
in the military service, or In some other
way than politics, or besides politics, have
been invited. It is not thought the squab-
bling of the politicians will hurt the big
demonstration much.

Two of Bismarcks most stubborn foes
survive him. One is Count Rechberg, who
was the Austrian Emperor's chief adviser
from 1853 to 1864. He has just celebrated
his 92d birthday. The other is Count Ben
edetti, ten years younger than the Aus

famous diplomat. He is at present engag-
ed on book which will deal with Bis

Those who were near Mrs. Sampson on

New York did not know till hours after
what a great strain she was under as she
waited for her husband, the admiral. Mrs.
Sampson said that no one would ever

him so changed, looking twenty years old

spare figure thirty pounds had been lost.
John I. Blair, the New Jersey million

in the development of this country as any

or go backward Our retail merchants
are as much interested in having the city
grow as the wholesale merchants or any
other class Of citizens.
There is one thing the retail merchants
could do that would help the city amaz-
ingly, and that is do business more nearly
on a cash basis. 1t is complained that
the cost of living in this city is higher
than it ought to be. The reason of this,
it is claimed, Is that so much is lost by
the credit system that high prices have
to be charged. In other words, those who
pay their bills have to pay the bills of
those who do not pay. There is a remedy
for this condition of affairs. It is the
they can not do business on cash basis.
They haven't tried. If an organization
to sell for cash only is possible.
our city is growing and the volume of
our business is growing, but neither Is
growing quite as fast as we would like.
In order to make both grow faster every
citizen must lend a helping hand in pro-
noting the things which are for the pub
lie good. We can expect but little prog
ress if public spirit is confined to a small
portion of the city's business men.

The President nj Camp wiz of.

There is no doubt that the Presidents
visit to Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point
had a beneficial effect upon the soldiers
there, especially those who are sick. He
made it point to go through all of the
hospitals ard to say a kind word to all
who were well enough to receive his greet
ing.
1t is not disputed that the President has
felt the deepest concern for the sick and
suffering soldiers, and has done every
thing in his power for their health and
comfort. That there has been a great deal
of sickness and many deaths due to the
incompetency and neglect of those whose
duty 1t was to see to il that the camps
were kept in a sanitary condition and that
the hospitals were provided with suff1-
Client bedding, medicines, doctors and
nurses there can be no doubt, and when
the record is made up it win be found
that these are the officials against whom
the wrath of the people should be directed,
And it may be that in many cases the
shortcomings of these officials were the re-
suit of ignorance of the duties of their re-
spective positions. Volunteer officers have
health of their men and the men them
selves do not know the Importance of
health precautions. In the home camps
health regulations were issued by the COM
manders of the camps, but they were not,
an many instances, enforced by the regi-
mental and company officers
The President was deeply effected by his
visit to Camp Wikoff While there he
realized for the first time probably how
great the hardships of the Santiago cam
paign had been. If the men who took
part in that campaign have lacked any
comfort it has not been because the peo-
pie have been wanting in generosity. The
President knows that the feeling through
out the country has been that the soldiers
in Cuba and in the camps at home should
want for nothing that 1t was proper Cor
them to have, and, therefore he has not
hesitated to order that the needs of the
soldiers should be bountifully supplied
His orders have not been carried out as
fully as they should have been; hence the
complaints of the soldiers.

Nothing of the kind ever occurs in this

A circular has been issued from PopI-

county chalrmen of that party, in effect,
to do all they can toward bringing about
fusion between the Republican and Pop
ulist parties during the approaching cleo
tions. The circular declares that there
are thousands of negro votes to be had
IF they can be made to see that they
are in the same boat" 1t may be that
they are "in the same boat with some
of the Populist leaders, but there are
thousands of white Populist voters who
will decline to take further passage in
that craft What would successful fusion
amount to in Georgia? Look over into
North Carolina for an answer. The white
people of this state are not prepared to
have negro politicians running their state
and county offices, and their insane asy-
lum and other charitable institutions.

to have money in cuba, with a number of

Duties at Havana.
From the New York Post qnd.

The newspaper correspondents in Ha-
vana have discovered with establishment
that the duties on imports at that place
are as heavy as they were before the
war, and that the determinations in
favor of Spain are the same as they
were before. There is nothing astonish-
ing about this. AS nobody has received
authority to make any changes in this
particular, the old system stands as
matter of course. When the Cuban joint
commission enters upon the discharge of
its duties, doubtless changes will be
made in these particulars consonant
with justice and in harmony with The
aeW polLical status Of the island.
