KILLED BY THE BOERS.
Gen. Symons the First of His Rank to
Fall in South African War.

The death of Gen. Sir William Penn
SymonS the British commander at Glen

I'll England.
Gen. Symons. the first of his rank to

India. He fought the NalekaS in the
.ampaign of lSII-S and participated in

MANY POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS.

First Assistant Postmaster Genera
Perry s. Heath in his forthcoming nm

carriers and railway postal clerks; tha
the postofiice appropriation shall b

transferred to other appropriations, ant
that where consolidation of postottices II
deemed advisable, and the same may bt
effected under the existing law, tn,
money saved thereby be made available
for clerk hire and other expenses at the
newly established offices. The depart

Reconsideration of clerks in first and sec

will also asl; for Il substantial increase
for additional clerks, also for the pay
nlent of substitutes for clerks on yaca

Paving War Expenses.

When this country has the extra eX-
pense of carrying on a war, the only
way to meet that enlarged obligation Is
to increase the taxes on articles of con-
sumption. England has better and
more effective method. With Il revenue
from income taxes of S100,000.000 a
year in times of peace. slight increase
of the revenue tax is all that is needed
to meet increased governmental eX
penditures. The trouble with the ma
ton in this country is that taxes on
consumption yield small revenue to the
government compared with the great
revenue which it brings TO the trusts.
Take tin plate, for example. No reve-
nue. comes to the government from the
tariff on tin plate, but the trust has in
creased it's prices So per cent. AS rev
enue producer. the Dingley tariff has
proved failure and. as Havemeyer
says, the protective tariff is the mother
of trusts
Here are few statistics about the
tariff the trust has enormously ad-
vanced prices. To limit the supply and
maintain artificially high prices the
trust has shut down thirty-four tin
plate mills in the Northern and Eastern
States. BY this means and by an ad-
vance in prices on the American prod
uct the trust reaps Il profit of S4,650. 900
per year which is devoted TO stock divi-
dends, watered on common stock to the
extent of 100 per cent. and on preferred
stock to the extent of 40 per cent. ON
real values. The trust is capitalized at
S50. .00O. .0OO-S20. 100000 preferred and
$50 100000 common stock. With cap
italization of S5O,O00,COO, the actual
value of the trusts plant is between
ten and twelve millions.
Thus it is apparent that the tariff
helps not the government, but the
trusts, and that when large expenses |
have to be met the consumer must be |
taxed while the trusts go unmolested. |

BRITONS WANT THE NEWS.
Great Indignation ut the "Doctor,

There is great indignation in London

made for a return to the earlier meth

increase the tension, as it appears to be
the policy to withhold bad news. The

are dwarfs. Six feet is the regulation
size, and men who tower considerably
above this height are accepted by the
inhabitants as a matter of course. OF
course climatic influence must be con-

Judge Gates of the Kansas City Circuit
Court decided that A. y. Doerschuck,
druggist. was right in refusing to answer
questions asked him in 4 proceeding
brought by the Attorney General to show
that Doerschuck and other druggists
were in combine or trust. Judge Gates
said: If he was compelled TO testify in
the case now pending he might have to

great Importance of the decision of Judge
Gates is in the fact that he holds that
