Our Task In Porto Rico

IF Porto Rico Is to become a credit
to the United States" says Captain
Augustus p. Gardner, assistant adju-
tant general of volunteers, in al inter
esting report to Assistant Secretary OF
War Meiklejohn upon the educational,
religious, and other affairs in the island
Of Porto Rico, "and not a continual
thorn in her side. it Is as certain as the
rising of the sun that the work Of re-
construction must be done by men Of
disinterested motives.
THE reorganization of all the various
elements in the Porto Rican social sys.
tenn is an undertaking of enormous
difficulty, the extent Of which cannC'
be appreciated by any n who has no
seen the difficulties attendant on es'
tablishing ever a temporary modu:
vivendi. The task of simply making
laws which will conform to American
methods is simple. That a be done
in Washington. The task of making
laws which will conform to those of the
UNITED States and yet will work in
practice is an undertaking for the great
est minds, the knowledge requisite fol
which can only be gained on the spot
Taking it all in all, if the best men are
not put to this undertaking, but the
island is allowed to become a political
plaything, the Porto Rican will be
worse off than he was under SPAIN

The Investigation Of Congressman
Holding other Offices

Washington, January 25.-The in.
quiry as to the right of members of con.
gress to hold outside offices was re-
sumed before the house committee on
the judiciary today. Chairman Hender.
son stated that General Wheeler did not
care to be heard orally. The generals
written statement was head and dis
cussed; also statements submitted by
Representative Gardner, of New Jersey
a member of the industrial commission
and Representative Colson, of Kentucky
a colonel of volunteers.
Mr.. Gardner urged that the places
on the industrial commission were not
offices in the meaning of the constitu-
ton. Colonel Colson stated that he
had not drawn any army pay, and since
congress had assembled had drawn
neither congressional nor army pay.
This closed the hearings and the
committee went into executive session
to determine upon its report. No de-
cision was reached on the status of
General Wheeler and other members
and the subject was made a special or
der for next Wednesday.

SANTIAGO IN BAD SHAPE
Decentralization Caused by Refusal to
Pay Wages for labor

Santiago de Cuba, January 22.-The
order from the United States military
authorities in Havana directing the
authorities of the Santiago military de-
partment not to expend a cen of the
customs receipts without the permits
sion of the governor general, and the
order directing that hereafter the bulk
OF the sanitary work shall be done
without money pay and for rations
merely, were given to the local press
for publication yesterday, though re-
ceived here last Thursday.
Ell Cubano, in commenting upon the
instructions OF the governor general,
says: The feeling is prevalent that
the only course now is to retire to the
mountains" This course is, of course, an
exa~ggeration, although the fact is that
there are people who make just such
threats.
AS showing how far the province has
drifted backward since the first an
nouncement hat the customs were not
to be freely expended for provincial
improvements the Santiago Heraldo
reports that a band of men are COM
hitting wholesale depredations in the
Mayari districts, where several people
have been murdered, and that another
udNu III the I~udHldudu1O district nave
burned all the cane prepared for press
ing on the Isabel plantation. These
outbreaks says The Heraldo, ''are
the first fruits of the money central
iZation system"
So far as the order regarding santa
ry work is concerned, a Cuban inspec-
tor in the sanitary department told
Major George NJ. Barbour, the health
commissioner of Santiago, yesterday
that the Cubans of the Droviuca had
at last regained their self-respect and
would not work again for rations.
They do good work" he said. land
deserve to be paid in money. If they
are ordered again to work for rations
most of them will go TO the mountains

over q period OF more than fifteen
years. No other great commander in
history won fame in so short n time as
Jackson
Before Charlottesville Jackson
wrote the message which said that the
enemy had made a stand at Chancel-
louisville and that. trusting in God. he
hoped TO win a victory. Hooper tele-
graphed to Washington that h enemy
would have to come out n fight him
OF fly. The difference in the messages
these men sent tells plainly the differ
n characters Of the men. Jackson's
was characteristic OF him and showed
him as he was.
II have told you. perhaps. much that
you already know. But love does not
seek new stories to tell; she tenderiy
tells the old ones and again and again"
In closing the speaker paid an elo-
quent and touching tribute to Lee, and
spoke OF the noble friendship the W.
great leaders of the Confederacy bore
each other. The whole address was
magnificent and invoked hearty APP
plause at times. as well as tears at
other times.

Fayetteville, N. c., January 25.
Pursuant to published notice, a num-
Der of the members. of the South At
lantic Lumber Association met in the
second floor parlor of the Hotel LaFay-
cite at noon today, and a very repre-
sentative gathering it was, w. F. Will
liams, president; Mr.. u. w. White
head, secretary.
- The association, on motion, gave a
cordial Endorsement of Capt. J.. D.. Nc
Neill for railroad commissioner, and
appointed a committee to press his
claims for that position.
Mr.. u. w. Whitehead, editor Of the
Lumber and Milling Journal, spoke in
high terms of the late Congressman
Dingley as a friend to the lumber in
terests. and moved that Mr.. Tawney,
of Michigan, would be accepted to this
association on the joint high commits
sion in place Of Maj. Nelson Dingley.
A committee was appointed to frame
resolutions expressive of the sense OF
loss sustained by the death of Capt. S.
c. Rankin.
Committees were appointed to look
after the adjustment of freight rates
on lumber from North Carolina to out
side points. etc.
Mr.. A. B.. Pearsall was appointed
treasurer.
The reporter was in the highest de-
gree pleased with the meeting; it rep
resented almost all the great lumber
interests of North Carolina and South
Carolina, standing for a cut Of about
80, 600, 900 feet a year, and the member
ship is constantly increasing. Just be-
fore adjournment Maj. G. II. Hall was
proposed for president for the ensuing
year.

1.-The railroad tax works we'll; cit brings
a good income into the state. Of course
the railroads object to it, but they pay
it promptly"
When considering the matter of rail-
road taxation the equity of an income
tax for state purposes only is plainly
demonstrated. Attention is well called
to this by the report of the merchants
municipal committee of Boston when
proposing this tax to the legislature of
Massachusetts. They say: cit (the
income taxi changes and equalizes the
division of the corporation taxes by
turning them into the state treasury,
to provide the state and county ex-
penses, thereby distributing them to
the entire commonwealth. This pro-
vision affects certain small towns which
happen to have as residents large share
holders in corporations, but it does not
operate inequitably and we believe it to
be an unsound principle of taxation to
give, for example a large share of the
tax of the Boston and Albany railroad
to Nahant simply because certain share
holders hapepn to reside there. The
tax on such a corporation should be
returned to the people as a whole, by
whose authority it was chartered and
by whose use it's value is created"
l have tried to give as briefly as I
could SOM Of my suggestions as to tax
reform in North Carolina. That there
is great room for reform on one will
question. That we will be able to get
out of the rut in W Itch we have so
long been travelling there is great doubt.
That this legislature could without dan
ger of disturbing shy branch of the
state administration easily undertake
this work I am firmly convinced.

his ammunition was wet and therefore
asked to retire. To the courier jack
son said: Give A: p. Hill my compli-
ments and tell him that the Yankees
powder is just as wet as his.
1T was Jackson's policy never to be
content with whipping the enemy not
to be content with defending his own
position, but to TAX the offensive. He
made up by consummate daring and
skill what ne lacked in numbers. But
he was always careful Of the lives Of
his soldiers. and in the care which he
took of his men far the superior of
Napoleon in his celebrated Italian cam
paigns.
And did he have the personal cour-
age and the magnetism to arouse and
inspire his soldiers? What great gen
eral ever had the confidence of his men
to the extent that Jackson had? No
man was trusted like Jackson. Under
fire he was always grand and inspiring.
To a question OF mine as TO how he felt
under fire the first time, he replied: L
was only afraid the fire would not b
hot enough for me to distinguish my
self.
