IMPORTANT STAMP TAN DECT-
SION

The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has made an important ruling
concerning the stamp tax On mort
cages, which rev5rses the former de-
cision on the subject.
Acting Commissioner Robert Will
iialns writes as follows:
"In reply to your letter of August
10, 1899, you are advised that if real
property is sold subject to a. mort
gage and there is no statement or COW
enaut in the deed by which the
grantee becomes personally liable for
the mortgage, the amount paid for
the equity redemption is to be regard
cd as the consideration on which the
stamp tax is to be based. However,
if there is any statement or covenant
in the deed by which the grantee does
become personally liable in any way
for the mortgage and On which a
liability to a deficiency judgment
could be founded, the amount Of the
mortgage plus the amount paid for the
equity is the consideration aud the
basis on which the stamp tax is to be

WHY THE NEGROES VOTE THE
REPUBLIC4N TICKET

Westminster Democratic Advocate. &.
The use of money to influence cleo
tions is Il deplorable practice. 1t
serves to deDauch white voters and
make them lose sight of public in
terests and regard elections solely as
time for the baking of few dollars.
1t does not so act on all the colored
voters. Many of them caunot read
the ballots they cast; but few pay any
taxes; not one in a hundred has an
conception of government and are
not any more Intelligent on the sub
iect than they were when they were
given the elective franchise twenty
nine years ago. To many of them
election day is merely holiday, with
free hack rides to the polls and free
whisky. When they go to vote they
hunt the bust of Lincoln on their
tickets and make Il cross-mark. Not
one in hundred votes Democratic
ticket. Unprincipled white men have
Taught them that Democrats are hos
tile TO the negro race and that Demo
cratic supremacy may mean a return
TO slavery; and while very few of those
who were slaves are alive today, over
drawn pictures of slavery have been
held up to the colored people at every
recurring election and they vote with
the Republican party almost TO a man.

DREYFUs AND HIS JUDGES.


This, the third week of the Dreyfus
trial at Rennes, is marked by the re-
appearance in Court of NJ. Fernand
Labor, one of the counsel for the de-
fence, who was shot in the back by
an unknown man, on August IA His
presence seems TO have put lew life
into the defence and is likely to turn
the tide in favor of the prisoner. To
those who have kept pace with the
proceedings as published in our daily
papers this trial presents ii curious
study in human nature. The So
called evidence is no evidence at all,
in thn ordinary sense OF the word, but
it is to be remembered that the French
military code provides that the judges
in ii court-martial are not bound to
proofs. In the retiring room of the
Judges of the court there is this notice
"a clause of the military code-posted
so rs to be constantly before their
eyes: That the judges should be
guidelonlY by their eOnsciences; that
their convictions may be formed apart
altogether from proofs. This is very
hard on the prisoner; his sufferngs on
DEVILS Island would have seemed
punishment enough, even were he
guilty; but now the proofs, which are
all in his favor, are to be set aside and
ne is left at the mercy OF the con
science of the judges! Can anything
tougher, more hardened, be imagined
than the conscience of an old French
army officer? 1t furnishes a curious
psychological study and quite apart
from the deep interest we feel in DreJ
fus and his woes, We look to the end
of his trial as furnishing some clue by
which we may penetrate this secret
tribunal-the consciences of his
Judges.
