The death in Rome of Cardinal Isl
dore Verga takes from the Cacred College
one of it's most brilliant members. He was
born near Rome in 1882 and early showed
signs of great ability. During his cole
giate career he took every prize that was
offered and graduated with the highest
possible honors. In 1884 he was created
a cardinal For some years after receiv-
ing the red hat he was one of the young
est of the cardinals. He was made solicit
tor to the sacred tribunal of the Rota
and secretary of that body, being later
appointed by the Pope project in charge
of the congregation of bishops and regu
lars.

Ynrn About MONACO.

ut is a well known fact remarked a
prominent New Orleans educator, accord
ing TO the Times Democrat, that the
Prince of Monaco, besides being the great
est gambling house proprietor in the
world, is also a scientist of high repute.
He has made a study for years of deep
sea forms of life and owns the best equip
ped vessel af1oat for that sort of investiga-
ton. In connection with his scientific
pursuits l was once told a curious story
by a Harvard professor, who once visited
the prince at his home, and 1 don't be-
lieve the yarn has ever been seen in print
"At the time of the visit a couple of
other Americans were present, and one of
them had the eXecrable taste to advert to
the gaming casino, which is the principal
feature of Monaco. I like to go there to
look at the frescos,' he said but 1 keep
away from the roulette wheels. To my
way of thinking the man who plays them
might as well throw his money in the
ocean,
That my dear sir replied the prince
imperturbably. is precisely what he does

years has been devoted to deep-sea study.

Chamnion Mean Man.

There are lots of mean men in the world,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. There is
one in Boston who will never tell any one
the time of day; there is one in Colorado
who never lights cigar in winter be-
cause his breath upon the frosty air gives
the same satisfaction, and there is an
other in Pillsbury, Wyo., who never has
a fire in his house because the smoke
might wear the chimney out. But the
meanest of all lives in Chicago.
The other night he came along Randolph
street and stopped at a little sidewalk
stand wherein were displayed such trink-
cts as collar buttons, shoe laces, combs
and pocket mirrors. He took up one of
the latter, and the proprietor's eye bright
ened at the prospect of a sale.
How much?" asked the Meanest Man
give cents" answered the proprietor
of the stand.
The Meanest Man looked the object care
fully over. IN give you three" The 9TH
er shook his head.
The Meanest Man held out. TOO
much" he said. Somehow, between the
two outstretched hands, the pocket mirror
fell and broke into several pieces on the
pavement. The Meanest Man picked up
the remains, retaining one fragment of the
glass. The proprietor lamented. The
Meanest Man passed on up the street AT
the corner he stopped. and, holding the
little piece of mirror before him, ran a
small comb through his whiskers.
"A man doesn't need a whole pocket
glass for a small beard" he muttered.

CUBA AND PHILIPPINE FINANCES

The management of the finances in Cuba
and in the Philippines by our army officers
appears to be very satisfactory not only
to the government at Washington, but
also to the natives. 1t is stated that for
the six months that have elapsed since our
army occupied Cuba enough has been col
lected from customs and internal taxes
to meet all expenses and leave a surplus
of $1,4S0 02192. 1t must be admitted that
this is a remarkably good showing. In
forming an opinion in respect to it two
things must be taken into consideration.
One is that a vast amount has been spent
the island. Pretty nearly a third of all
that has been expended has gone towards
cleaning up Havana and other towns The
other Is that the island outside of the
towns is in a bad condition. Not only
are the great plantations in very dilapi-
dated state, but the sugar mills and
warehouses on them are in ruins. When
prosperity returns to the island and 1t is
brought up to its normal producing ca
pacity, the revenues will greatly exceed
those collected during the last six months
In the Philippines, about IS, $4,000 has
been collected since American occupation
began. OF this sum not more than $1,000
600 has been spent by Gen. Otis. 1t is
claimed that very little has been spent on
public Improvements in Manila or in Ma
Mia harbor and that the Filipinos are
complaining on that account. They say
that they were led to understand by the
president of the peace commission that
the revenues would be applied to improve
ments in Manila and other towns. 1t is
asserted that one cause of the dissatis-
faction of the Filipnos is that the reve-
nues are being used to build ice houses
for the army and to pay the soldiers.
The Filpinos ought not to complain
however. If they had recognized our au-
thority there is no doubt that the revenues
would have been applied to improvements
that would have been Of benefit to the
10 be in the islands, and having attacked
our soldiers, they ought not to expect the
same treatment as If they were loyal to
the American flag.
Both the Cubans and The Filipinos, how
ever, are amazed at the amount of reve-
nues accounted for. Under Spanish RUE
even IN times of peace, the revenues were
far below what they have been under
American rule. a fact that speaks well
for the honesty of American officers

SOLID FOR 16 TO

There is no mistaking the meaning of
the Democrats of Ohio. They do not be
lieve in side tracking silver. They not
only favor the Chicago platform, but they
take occasion to emphasize their approval
for the free coinage Of silver at the ratio
Of 16 to ]. Those Democrats who have
been suggesting that the Chicago platform
be simply referred TO in the platform Of
1900, IN a paragraph, can find no comfort
in this deliverance of the Democrats OF
Ohio
Not only is the IS TO l idea given ex-
traordinary prominence, but Mr.. Bryan
Is endorsed for the presidential nomina-
ton II Mr. Bryan had dictated the ac-
ton of the convention he could not have
suggested anything additional that would
have assisted him in his campaign for the
nomina ton.
The planks against imperialism and
trusts are about as strong as it is posi-
BILE to make them. The one against trusts
contains an appeal to wage earners that
will attract the attention of the labor vote.
The ticket is believed to be a strong one
II has a fighter at the head of it. John
r. Mclean is one of the best known men
in the country, particularly In the West.
He has both brains and money. and both
undoubtedly will be used to win the cleo
tion-used legiumately.
one of the features of the platform is
strong denunciation of the political boss.
1t will be understood to refer to Senator
Hanna. The senator is the great politi-
ca. boss of Ohio. Even in his own party
there Is a good deal OF feeling against
him. Naturally therefore, the Democrats
have no occasion to feel kindly towards
him.
Mr.. Croker will hardly read that part
of the platform with profound pleasure.
The Ohio Democrats did not have Mr..
Croker in mind when they adopted the
clause of the platform which denounces
the political boss. Nevertheless, 1t hlts
him squarely between the eyes.
And there are other bosses besides Hanna
and Croker. The woods are full of them.
Il will be a happy day for the country
when the people refuse to be dictated to
by political bosses

CLEVELAND'S FOES OF LAW AND
OnDIER.

Far worse are the acts of disorder and
violence which are being committed daily
In Cleveland, than are the attempts at
rioting at Darien or the outbreaks of
violence which occur now and then else
where in the South. And yet there is very
little in the news reports of the unhappy
condition of affairs in Cleveland. The
country seems to know more of what has
occurred and is occurring at Darien than
what is occurring in Cleveland.
In our dispatches yesterday it was said
that a street car had been blown up the
day before by a dynamite bomb, and that
quite a number of people were badly hurt
The blowing up of street cars with dyna-
mite has been going on in that city for
several weeks. Is there not power enough
in that great and wealthy city to hunt
down the gang of scoundrels who are
guilty of using dynamite against the
street railway company? We feel sure
that if there were not pretty strong sym
pathy with the criminals, and the right
sort of an effort were made, the guilty
parties would be quickly brought to JUS
tce.
And what must be the condition of pub
lie sentiment in a community in which the
lives of its citizens, riding through the
streets in public conveyances, can be
put in jeopardy by lawless gangs of men
with a feeling of almost certainty that
they will not be arrested. or that if they
are no harm will come to them? At this
distance it seems as if every law-abidlng
citizen would constitute himself a detec-
tive and pursue the criminals until they
were arrested. A city that is cursed as
Cleveland is at present stands very lit
tie chance of prospecting. People will
stay away from it. They will not want
TO live where life is held so cheaply.
The truth seems to be that owing to the
boycott the people of Cleveland are afraid
of their shadows. Each business man is
trying to look after his own particular in
terests. Consequently the welfare of the
public is wholly neglected The people
do not seem to realize that unless the
safety and liberty of the citizens are
secure. there can be no prosperity. The
occasional outcrOppings of violence at the
South are preferable to such lawlessness
as that an Cleveland.

THE TAX COMMISSIONS REPORT.

1t is said that the tax commission has
decided 10 recommend in its report that
the time for the payment of taxes be
changed from October to February. The
purpose of this recommendation is I'M
derstood to be to give the state money
with which 10 meet its liabilities in the
early part OF the year
Tie recommendation is one that VIII
hardly meet general approval 1t is prac-
tically a plan TO get the state out of its
financial difficulties by requiring taxes to
be paid twice in one year. 1t is true
that it viii be argued that the plan
amounts TO the payment of taxes only
once a year. That viii be the case after
the first year. but If the people are re-
quired to pay in October of this year, and
then in February of next year. will they
not be paying twice within twelve months?
If the plan were to be adopted taxes
would be due again within six months aft
er the payment OF taxes next October.
There are two reasons why this plan is
not likely to meet with favor. One is that
the great majority of the people will not
have the money with which to pay taxes
III tDIudfy, dller paying taxes IN OCtO-
Der. The second is that the farmers have
nothing to sell in February, and hence
cannot get the money at that time with
which to pay taxes. In the fall after
they have sold their crops they have
money, and that is the time they are pre-
pared to pay their debts, as well as their
taxes.
The tax commission will find very strong
objections to this plan for getting the
state out of A-1pancial troubles. It was
bad financiering apparently that got it
behind in its financial matters. 1t all
came of not keeping the expenses within
the revenues. The state has a floating
debt, at least it seems so to us, and the
only way to get rid of it, so that it will
cease to be troublesome, is to levy a suf-
hcient tax to pay il, or to issue bonds
to the full amount of it. It could be done
in the way that the tax commission will
recommend in its report. That way
amounts practically to two tax levies in
one year. The people could hardly stand
that much taxation

A Utah business man asserts that the
country is suffering from too much pros
perlty. 1t is his theory that when the
people have so much money they refuse
to purchase an inferior quality of goods,
thus affecting one of the biggest indus
tries in the country, namely, the manu-
facture of low priced clothing" Unless
it is this Utah man himself we do not
believe that there is anybody in this coun-
try who thinks he has got too. much

government has to pay the freight on ship

the expense in order to get the silver into

The elghty-third psalm, which the dis
patches say President Kruger of the
Transvaal is often heard repeating, is a
complaint against the conspiracies of enc
mics and a prayer that they may be de-
stroyed. 1t begins thus: Keep not thou
silent o God! hold not thy peace, and
be not still, o God. For 10, thine enemies
make a tumult; and they that hate thee
lift up the head. They have taken crafty
counsel against thy people, and counsel
ed against thy hidden ones They have
said. Come, and let us cut them off from
being a nation; that the name of Israel
may be no more in remembrance. For they
have consulted together with one con-
sent; they are confederate against thee"
The prayer for vengeance is in these
words: 80, my God make them like a
wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
AS the fire burneth a wood, and as the
flame setteth the mountain on fire, so
prosecute them with thy tempest and
make them afraid of thy storm. .
Let them be COMPOUNDED and troubled for
ever; yea, let them be put to shame and
perish" From the standpoint of the
Beers, it viii be seen that the scriptural
quotation fits the situation pretty well.

Many of our Northern contemporaries
are getting their eyes open to the true
status of the race question in the South.
The Philadelphia Telegraph is one of
them That newspaper says: There are
many sections of that d-especially in
Georgia-where, as about Darien, the
whites are outnumbered by the blacks in
as vast a proportion as ten to one. Is it
any wonder that the whites live in a state
of constant panic? Would not remote and
unprotected parts of Pennsylvania or New
York be as alarmed if the case was their
own?' Thus this Philadelphia paper con-
codes by implication that, were conditions
in the North similar to those in the South,
the Northern people would act nowise diff
ferently from the people of the South in
respect to the black race.
