The New Revenue Law.

The Duncan evenue measure, sub

has passed the house after a good deaI
of a fight and passed the council by a
large majority. The bill will meet with
approval at the hands of Governor Otero,
whose influence, in a large measure,

provisions of the bill are stringent and
well considered and it Is believed that
Hereunder q fair, full and honest as
sessment and collection of taxes will be
had. The duties of assessors and col
lectors are carefully and infinitely pre-
scribed and severe penalties are pro-
vided for neglect or carelessness or
evasion of law by such officials. The
power to abate taxes is taken away from
county commissioners and that in itself
meal u great deal for the honest tax
payer.

American Mechanical Genius.

Within the last few years, remarkable
manufacture, illustrating to a remark
able degree the fertility Of resources and
inventive genius of the American
mechanical mind. In no other nation
has there been such a rapid and at the
same time such practical advancement
in economic invention. And this, by
the way, is by no means confined to
locomotive manufacture. but is charac-
~teristic of all the mechanical trades, es-
pecially in the building trades, in the
manufacture of tools and in the every
day domain of applied science. How
ever, it is to the field of locomotive max
ing, that public attention is the more
often called, because there has always
been more or less romance attached to
the iron horse of which so many stories
in poetry and prose have been written,
and about which people so like to read.
But the locomotive has its prosy, or
binary, commonplace side in the heavy
freight machine as well as its more
romantic phase in the racer pulling the

such triumphs as this of mechanical
genius and skill that are attracting the

After five months operation of the new
Canadian tariff, which was drafted with
a view to reduce American importations
and increase those from Great Britain
and her colonies, the desired effect does
not appear to have been accomplished.
Instead, imports from the United States
have, within the time specified, been
nearly 20 per cent greater than under
the former Canadian tariff, while the
importations from Great Britain and de-
Tendencies have increased less than 10
per cent during the same time. This
will not please the Dominion financiers;
in fact it is a matter which may justly
cause them marked chagrin. But the
conditions of trade seem to be against
them, and Canadians will continue to
patronize American producers in pre-
ference to those on the other side of the
water.

The Result OF Desperation.

The speech made in the house OF re-
representatives. of congress yesterday by
Representative johnson, from Indiana,
was doubtless intended for a blast of
Indignation and a flame of destruction
for a Republican administration in gen
eral and President Mckinley in part
ocular, but it failed of it's purpose.
To the friends of the administration
and of expansion the 1uttering OF John
son is the first indication which has
been given by the obstructionists that
the criticisms passed upon their actions
have had any effect, and the entire
country will be glad to know that the
men who are responsible for the blood
shed in the Philippines, since the close
of the war with Spain, have some knowl-
edge of the responsibility which rests
upon them. johnson denies that the
dilatory tactics pursued by the anti
everything-American faction of the SEN
ate, backed up by a few old grannies in
the house and country, brought about tie
opening of hostilities between the Fill
| pinos and American forces in the Philip
| pine islands. but the actions of Aguinaldo
and his good friend Agoncillo. who
spent some months in the United States
spying and reporting to his chief, clear
ly place the denial in the light of being
made without any grounds for it.
The truth of the matter is that the
ultra free traders and rabid free silver
ties, led by Bryan, Johnson, "Coin'
Harvey and Chairman Jones, of the Ma
tional Democratic central committee,
are driven almost to desperation by
reason of the prosperity the. country is
experiencing under protection and sound
money, and as the election of 1900 APP
proaches the chances for Democratic
success at the polls continue to dwindle
in proportion to the success of the pres
ent administration in carrying out its
prediction promises. Feeling that I'M
less dissatisfaction among the masses of
the people by attacks upon the Repub-
lican party and it's president, no matter
how unreasonable or uncalled for, can
be created before the converting of the
56th congress, there will really be no
reason for the Democratic party to con-
tinue it's organization or to make any
nominations for the national election,
these would be leaders of the 'down-
trodden Americans do not hesitate to
resort to any methods to create excite
ment and attract attention to themselves
and incidentally to the party they pro-
fess to represent.
The American people, regardless of
station in life, are an intelligent, quick
witted lot of folks and it will require
something more than ''grand-stand'
plays to give the discredited free-traders
any more influence or hopes for success
in 1900 than they now have, and the
Johnsons in congress would as well save
their energies for some more useful en-
ployment than e%ndeavoring to- hoodwink
the voters.
