The Dubuque Telegraph points out
the difference between England's war
in the Transvaal and our war with
Spain in the following trenchant man.
ner:
The United States had the moral
right to use force in behalf of the
Cubans. What it did for them is sane
toned by humanity and civilization.
But Great Britain is devoid of the
moral right to subjugate the Beers. The
latter having assented to its terms for
the amelioration of the condition of
the uitlanders, it has no justification
save that which it derives from super
ior strength for invading and attempt
ing to conquer the Transvaal. There is
an analogy between what England is
doing in the Trsnsvaal and what the
Americans are doing in the Philip.

Transvaal war and the American war

IMPORTANT IOWA DECISION.
KNOCKS Out the Present System of Taxing
u Number of Corpurations

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 27.-The SUI
preme court yesterday handed down a
decision which completely knocks out
the present system of assessing and
taxing insurance, express. telegraph.
telephone, sleeping car and fast freight
companies. The law provides that they
shall pay certain percentages of their
gross receipts to the state treasury.
The court holds that corporations must
be assessed on the same basis and for
the same purposes as individuals. A
corporation paying its entire taxes to
the state does not help support city,
county and schools as individuals must
do, hence the law is unconstitutional.

Reception for Mrs. Wheeler.

The home of DIR. and Mrs. III. A.
Dittmer was the scene of pleasant
gathering last Saturday evening. The
Chautauquans of Manchester, feeling
that it was appropriate to show their
appreciation of Mrs. M. U. Wheeler as
one of the pioneers of the G.. L. S. G.
movement in this place, decided to
give her a farewell reception. There
were probably about fifty chautauquans
present, which together with their in
invited friends made up company of
over eighty, enough for a very merry
sociable, and the large number of grad
yates, who were absent missed good
time. Cake and ice cream were served
after which Miss Kate Shimmin, one of
the pioneer class, who had been chosen
as speech maker, gave a lengthy eulogy
and at its close, in fitting terms, pre-
scented to Mrs. Wheeler, in behalf of
the general class, cut glass boquet
holder containing twenty-elght beauti-
full roses, the number corresponding to
the number of seals on her diploma.
Mrs. Wheeler responded in her own
characteristic way, which is 80 familiar
to all those who have been intimately
associated with her, in this grand work.
This company not only shows the kind
ly regard that Chautauquans have per-
sonally for one, who, for many years
has remained an enthusiastic q. l.. S. G.
student; but also evinces the interest
felt IN the cause itself, that Mrs.
Wheeler and her Jealous co-workers
have so earnestly endeavored to pro-
mote. This gathering not only honors
one, VINO in severing her connection
with the class carries with her many
kindly wishes and also the comforting
assurance that the work is left in very
efficient hands, in the person of Mrs. +.
F. Cary, her successor in office, and
that it will continue to thrive and re-
main power for good; and aside from
this, such meeting is farther incen-
tive to the work itself. Long live Chau-
tauqua!
