The Duke of Argyll, now in his
seventy-sixth year, still yields a
caustic pen. His letter about his
quondam allies in the "derelict"
Liberal party, says the Independ-
ent, will not tend to regain him the
affection of either Lord Rosebery or
Sir William Harcourt, whom he
describes as very inferior statesmen
to those two legal luminaries, the
late Lord Selborne and Lord James
of Hereford. The venerable Duke
is recognized as by far the greatest
orator in the Unionist party, and it
may not be uninteresting to remind
our readers that he is the last sur
vivor of the Cabinet responsible for
the Crimean war, the last but one
being his old colleague, the late
Mr.. Gladstone.

PAUL KRUGER'S COUNSELLOR.

The personal adviser and man who
stands nearest to President Paul Kruger
is Peter Gillingham, an Irishman. He
enjoys the possession of several valuable
concessions and franchises, and has tile
distinction of being called upon more
any other resident of the Transvaal
His motto is II owe allegiance only to
Ireland" He speaks Dutch like native,
and made himself popular with Presi-
dent Kruger by an offer to raise a regi-
ment of Irishmen at the time of Jameson's
raid, and oppose the precipitate Scotch
man.
Peter Gillingham is the POLITICAL boss
of the South African Republic. He is
consulted by nearly all the members of
the Rand in both the Progressive and
Conservative parties, advises the Execu-
tive Council, and is persona grata with
President Kruger, who treats him as his
most intimate friend. Mr.. Gillingham
has been in Johannesburg thirteen years,
and carries on the rather commonplace
business of baker, but has made for
tune from the concessions the President
has granted him. Though born under
the British flag, Gillingham expresses
himself as opposed to it, and that is one
of the secrets of his popularity with
Kruger. He holds no position other
than justice of the peace, and poses as
strictly neutral between the various par
ties. In this capacity Kruger accepts his
advice on the most important matters,
and gives concessions in return.
Gillingham lately concluded a contract
with the Government to erect cold stor-
age warehouses sufficient to contain 25,-
900 beeves. President Kruger was
prompted to the construction of these |
buildings by the rumor that England |
might sieze the seaport and cut off the
source of supplies, but with these pro-
visions he would feel safe. Gillingham
says he expects at some day when he has
made more Of a fortune to return to Ire
and and live again among his friends.

FErIININE VANITY.

A curious story comes from Monte

the Paris correspondent of the "Daily

cusable feminine vanity. She entered

was winning in sweeping style that
seemed destined to break the bank. al

in such luck, too" she exclaimed. ''Do
tell me a lucky number. 1t is sure to
win, for you are now in the vein." The
Prince generously placed pile of gold
louis before the vivacious lady and said.
Put it all on the number of your wears
and reap golden harvest" The lady
hesitated and then placed the
pile on twenty-seven. An instant later
the croupier sang out "Thirty-six, red.

The Courier Journal is hard to
understand. Since the close of the
late war it has advocated almost
every measure favored by the Brit
ish Government, yet the other day
it opposed the reduction of the war
tax imposed on the American brew
ers on the ground that a reduction
would add to the profits of British
owned syndicates. There are no
British-owned breweries in Louis
vile. Burdensome taxation may
place them in the hands of an Eng
lish syndicate. This may be one of
the methods of our British-alliance
neighbor to accomplish that result.

LIPTON's YACHT.

Sir Thomas Upton has entrusted the
building of his new yacht the Shamrock

for the great yachting trophy, the Amer

pected that the yacht would have been

FALSE ECONOMY.

Inc most disastrous curse tnat
can befall any community is an
economical " Legislature, whose
only idea Of economy is to reducs
expenses, the greater the reduction
the more expense saved the tax
payer, and the more expense saved
the greater the prosperity. They
are SO welded to the adage that a
dollar saved is a dollar made" they
are blind to the fact that too fire.
quently the result is dollar saved
is thousands of dollars lost, and
sometimes irretrievable loss and
bankruptcy.
Kentucky is worrying under some
of the legislation of our Legislature
controlled by this Economical ele-
ment, and Notwithstanding only a
small part of their " economic Z"
legislation became effective, it is
enough to put the entire business
affairs of the State in a condition Of
uncertainty and anxiety as to the
future. Since our Kentucky
economists take for their model
the Tennessee solons, who have
controlled that State for years and
worked the economy" racket for
all it is worth, a review of results
may prove interesting.
One of the bon-mot ideas of the
economists is to make every depart
ment as nearly as possible self-sus-
tanning, and thereby relieve the
State of the burden of its support.
The one department that usually
attracts their attention and best
efforts is that of the prisons and
charitable institutions, and this is
the one on which the Tennessee
economists now base their claim of
success. Governor Taylor, in his
message, shows that the convicts of
the State, by being worked in the
mines, have ceased to be an ex-
pense, and for their labor the State
received in 1898 $22o, 500, net
profit of $35,5oo, as against deficit
of $Ioo, 900 in 1896, and deficit of
$43,o 900 in 1897. This certainly
looks well, and we may expect some
one of our Kentucky economists,
taking it for his cue, to urge more
extensive and profitable employ
ment for our convicts.
But, turning to the other side of
the ledger, the finances of the
State, the economy does not seem
to have yielded a profit. The same
con omists who succeeded in re-

He was again candidate in 1897, and is
still the Representative from the Seventh
district. He has never been defeated,
and his Democratic friends say that with
him as their standard-bearer victory is
assured.
At the time of Mr.. Charlton's election
to the Legislature he was member of
the Typographical Union of this CITY,
and during his legislative career he has
been consistent and earnest advocate of
all measures calculated to improve the
condition of the working people of the
State. He Introduced and was instru-
mental il passing the laws protecting
trades union labels and compelling the
stamping a convict made goods brought
into The state.
He is anxious to have a law enacted
creating Bureau of Labor Statistics and
compelling the employment of union
men OH all State work. The former
measure was reported favorably last year,
but failed of passage because of the many
bills ahead of it and the shortness of the
session. The foregoing will be among
the first to be presented when the next
Legislature meets.
Mr.. Charlton will make his race on the
Chicago platform, and will support Joe
Blackburn for United States Senator
from Kentucky. AS yet he has no avowed
opposition.

ury, extended and increased tax
assessments until citizens appealed,
and successfully, to the Federal
Courts, to restrain the tax collector
and increased the State taxes from
20 to 80 cents on the $1,000 per
cent. The taxpayer, evidently,
has not profited much, if the State
has. And the State, as Governor
Taylor shows, despite the profit
from the convict labor, the vastly
enlarged assessment and the 50 per
cent. increase in the tax rate, has
had to borrow money to pay current
expenses and interest on its in
creased bonded debt of over Sr6.-
900, 900, and in the past few years
has accumulated a floating debt of
over S85o,oo So, then, we really
have very different result: Profit
from convicts, $35,5oo floating
debt due by State, $3.50, 900 net
loss, 1914, 500. Governor Taylor
recommends that this deficit of
$3.50, 900 be funded and added to
the bonded debt, increasing it to
SI7, 900, 900, which means a larger
deficit for interest or heavier taxes.
The result has certainly not been
very profitable Except to the con-
vict contractors), nor is the pros
pect very encouraging to the tax
payers of Tennessee.
What other result could be ex-
pected! The principal industry of
Tennessee is her coal and iron
mines, and upon its growth depends
employment and commerce for her
people, development Of her re:
sources, iucrease 81 yopnIaflou and
wealth, and these last are the basis
OF the States revenue. Under pri-
vate management capital was in
vested, progress made, free labor
earned wages which were expended
for houses, food, clothing and the
many things essential for the sup
port of themselves and families; all
of which brought money into the
State to increase its trade, develop
its resources, build towns and roads,
enhance values of property, in
creasing the aggregate of assess
ments and the revenues of the
State without increasing the tax
rate.
This private capital could not
compete with convict contractors
any more than free labor with con-
vict labor. The mine operators
have taken their capital and with
the free miners and their families
have left the State. The convict
contractors pocket all the profits,
make nothing but necessary and
improvements, spending
most of their money outside the
State, and pay practically no taxes;
the mining towns, where the free
miners spent their money, are now
camps, where there is no
demand for homes, food, clothing,
stores, churches, schools-no fami-
les, no business, no demand for
any of the necessaries of life-the
hundreds of convicts being housed,
led and clothed by contractors who
ouy in large quantities where they
AN buy cheapest. The value of
III mining and surrounding proper
y, as well as that dependent upon
he mining industry for trade and
profit, necessarily deprecated; man
fractures and commerce allied with
mining have suspended, withdraw
ng their capital and dismissing
heir employees, and the State has |
ost more in assessed values, the ,
PRODUCTS of free labor and CONNER
ial capital, than even an extraordi-
Iary assessment and so per cent.
Increase in the tax rate can balance.
