ForcibIe and Concise.

Phil Frances, a contributor to
the columns of the Alturas Plain
dealer sums up the political situa-
tion as follows; "The Republican
leaders are afraid of Bryan. They
talk big for publib effect, but they
know too well the magnitude of the
trouble ahead OF them. The next
session Of Congress will settle the
Philippine question to q great ex-
tent, and the conduct of affairs over
there has been so wretched that ex-
pansionists are as much disguised
as anti-expansionists-to use the
cant phrases Of the day. The peo-
pie have had their eyes turned to
foreign affairs so long that they are
becoming weary Of the whole sub
ject. They will turn their atten-
ton to internal affairs soon, and
when they do the supporters Of Nc
Kinley are going to be kept busy
explaining. The Republican tariff
has been an utter failure. 1t is the
worst tariff we have ever had and
brings in least revenue. Under it,
in spite of onerous and unequal war
taxes, which are still collected in
time of peace, the treasury has be-
come bankrupt, and trusts have
sprung up all over the land. The
last Congress appropriated over a
billion and a half dollars and in
spite of it there is a deficit of a
million in sight, and it grows big
ger every day. The Philippines
have cost us already $200,000,oO0
and we have not got them yet. The
immense strikes in the East give
the lie to the rosy accounts Of gen
eral prosperity there. There is
prosperity, but it is the prosperity
of the capitalist and Spectator"

THE HARDY MINER.

Weary, yet hopeful thro the mountain pass,
The hardy miner wends his way.
His work is done, the slowly setting sun,
Proclaims the waning OF the day.
For many months, all vest for many years,
The night has found him on this trail.
Which, from constant wearing. night and day,
IL deeply cut thro' soil and shale
lie traced tl,is mountain path while in his prime,
And stakel his claim where pine trees grow;
His lodge Of logs, now going to decay,
He built near purng stream below.
Ills ages, almost, since he found this ledge
And followed it into the hill
His raven hair has whitened, but his heart.
is ever young aud buoyant still.
That Bckle fortune yet will smile on him.
He doubts not-he has worked too long,
To weaken now or to review the past;
To him the prize Is for the strong.
Friends, loved ones honor and even fame,
The comforts which bright gold will buy.
Are staked upon the outcome of this claim;
Success will crown his efforts bye and bye.
So through the wintry day, the summers heat,
lie tolls, and climbs the mountains steep;
Air castles cheer him at his daily work,
While pleasant dreams beguile his sleep.
At last he solves the problem Of his lode,
His pick uncovers ore galore;
The pannug OF the quartz shows streaks OF gold,
And rest has come to him once more
Who is there in the daily haunts Of man:
Among tho tillers Of the soil;
Who would begrudge this his rightfu mead:
This just reward for years OF toll?
We know he has enriched the world
And from the coin his mine has made,
Has added millions OF enduring wealth,
To stimulate ar.roaehing trade
W honor then, the hardy mountaineer;
The man who laboIed day by day,
Who struck his pick the first In virgin ground,
And turned stream Of gold this way.

The man of the hour, despite the
efforts of hireling press and parti-
san bitterness, is William J. Braan.
No man has yet been suggested ca
pable of filling his place in the peo-
Piles hearts.
The return of Mr.. Croker of New
York, from England, and his
change of front from opposition to
Mr.. Bryan to that of a strong adj
herent, is the most noteworthy
event of the past few weeks. When
it is considered that Mr.. Croker
practically controls New York
State and will doubtless control
the New York delegation at the
next National Democratic Conyen-
ton, his support of Bryan practi-
cally makes his nomination Ger
tain. Before Croker went to Eu-
rope, he expressed himself against
Bryan's attitude concerning the
Philippines, and was an out-and-
out expansionist. He returns to
this country converted to Bryan's
sentiments, and is now urging the
Democrats of his state to adopt
anti-expansion resolutions in every
state and county convention to be
held in the future. Mr.. Croker has
seen the light, and it is fortunate
for the success of the party and for
the interests of Bryan that he has
seen it this early fin the campaign.

Here's a Scheme.

just now the people are engrossed
in the assessed valuations that are to
be returned under the new law pro-
vided for taxation. AS rule one man
does not know what his nei2hbor is
assessed for unless he takes the trouble
TO go over the assessors books and
find out. 1t might be of interest to
the general public TO know what every
man is assessed for, and to this end
we believe that when the assessor
makes up his returns, and before the
board Of equalization meets, the law
should provide for the publication Of
every taxpayers name and the amount
he is assessed for. The good to be de-
rived is found in the following exam
pie, which we cite because we are an
interested party: The other day the
writer saw the assessment returns Of
man who was assessed at a little less
than half of what we had given in as
the value of our belongings, and yet
we had always supposed, and do now,
that he was possessed Of great deal
more of this worlds goods than our
selves. We might have kicked and
asked to be equalized or have cause
shown why an equalization should not
OF been made, if publication OF all the
returns were made. Others could do
the same. Equalization" means to
arrange the value of each taxpayers
belongings SO that he pays only as
much IN proportion as his neighbor in
support Of the state and county and
schools. The commissioners do the
best they can to "equallze" these val
uatlons, but no one will contend for a
minute that the board could possibly
know how much every man and wo-
man in the county is worth. But that
man or woman's neighbor will have
some idea, especially since its human
nature for taxpayer to kick on pay
ing more than just proportion OF taxes,
and this neighbor would likely make
his knowledge known by asking that
his property be equalized to conform
with that of his neighbor.
1t strikes us that this is the best
method of bring ny all property in
view for taxation, while the expense
would be trifling compared with the
satisfaction every one would have in
knowing that all property was being
equally taxed. 1t would only be just,
too, aud what is just can harm no one.

orn auARANrINE STATION.

It is a question whether It would
be a wise thing for this city to do to turn
the control of its quarantine station over
to the general government. simply to save
a few thousand dollars annually. The
quarantine is an important factor Of the
city's commerce and prosperity. Should
| it be put in control of those who have
no special interest in the city?
Under the existing arrangement the
| quarantine regulations are within the con-
troll of the city, and if an officer is slack
in the performance of his duty or the en-
forcement of the regulations, or. on the
other hand, if he is so strict in constituting
the regulations as to unnecessarily OBJ
struct commerce. and is arbitrary and DIG
tatorial. thus bringing the port into bad
repute with masters of ships, he can be
removed with very little trouble and his
mistakes corrected.
This would not be the case IL the quar-
| antine should be placed in control of off,
Gals who have nothing at stake. Such
officials, either by their zeal or their in
competency, might damage the port great
ly In a single season they might cause
the city a loss of millions of dollars The
effort should be to make the quarantine
less burdensome, not to increase the hard
ships to which ii subjects commerce. At
least 100000 has been spent by the peo-
pie of Savannah in improving the city's
sanitary condition-in building new water
works and adding to the supply of water,
in street paving county drainage, sani-
tary sewerage, etc We are supposed to
have arrived at that stage of sanitary
improvements which produces local condl-
tons which make us proof against i'm
ported diseases which thrive where there
are bad drainage and fifth.
We have a quarantine station which is
equal to any ordinary demand upon it, and
its capacity can be enlarged from time to
time as the need for a larger plant in
creases. Shall we sell our birthright for
mess of potage to save few thousand
dollars and get rid of a responsibility? Is
it proposed to risk the chance of blockad-
ing the port and throwing its business TO
New York, Norfolk and other ports fur
Their North which are supposed to be free
| from danger?
A single dispatch from the health Off
Ger at this port to the surgeon general of
the Marine Hospital Service in Washing
ton. announcing suspicious case of fever,
would ruin the city's business for a sea-
son, and it might be for several seasons.
Can we afford to take this risk?
Savannah, although one of the health
lest of seaport cities in the country is
watched by envious rivals. Shall we give
them a chance to injure our port by twist
ing ambiguous health reports so as to
cast suspicion upon it? We have control
of our quarantine now, and the wise thing
to do is to keep control of it, so that we
can lessen its burdens whenever we think
ii advisable 10 do so.
