The following address, says
the New York Sun, was deliver ed
in New York City on Washing
ton's birthday, and is a sense OF
the public feeling regar. ing ex-
pansion:
George Washington my name is,
Worldwide and more my fame is;
And [ rise from my clay
To-day
To say:
That where the stars and stripes
are put.
There every Yankeepatriot' foot
Should be put down and put to
stay
Against all odds till judgment
day.
That's what [ did in darker hours
And got there, toe; and by the
powers
| stayed there till I saw expand
Into broad and glorious land,
A little scope of country which
Was neither great, nor strong,
nor rich;
But, friends, the spirit Of the free
Was greater than that trinity.
And when it touched the hearts
Of all,
They answered to their country's
call
And made it what it is to-day,
The prop of liberty, and stay
Of what is strong and rich and
great,
The patriot land. the peoples
state.
The nation spread from sea to
sea,
From lake to gulf, and liberty,
Unfettered here, stood forth and
hurled
Dehajce at a throne-ruled world.
That was expansion, that was
what,
Until that day, the world had
not
Experienced, and this glorious
land
On those same lines should still
expand.
That's what rise to say; now,
men,
I'll HE me to my clay again,
And while I'm gone; let no man
dare
To haul the flag down, floating
there.

week has proved progressive
one With the. legislature and the
work of handling some of the big
gest problems before the mem
bers, has been entered into rapid
". On Wednesday, the Senate
Judiciary committee heard argu-
ments on the bills for the taxing
of express, Pullman equipment
and freight traffic corporations,
and the result was that the bills
which were drafted by the Com
mittee on Assessment and Col
lection of Taxes were reported in
Senate for passage and they are
now we'll on their way toward
becoming laws. These are the
bills which were described earlier
in the year in this paper and are
copies of the Olgie laws on these
subjects. While they provide for
a heavy tax from the corpora
tons against which they ere
aimed, their cOnstitutionality is
also beyond question, the SINH
lar laws OF other states having
already been passed favorablv
upon by the United States Su-
prene Court.
Thursday the Assembly com
mittee on the Assessment and
Collection of Taxes, Wrestled
with the orion bill which pro-
vides for the taxing of life insur-
ance companies. From the mi
tial steps which were taken at
this committee meeting by the
representatives of the life insur-
ance companies, there can be no
doubt very hard fight is going
to be made against this measure
and that the life insurance COM
panies in this state are going to
do all they can to prevent their
taxes from being raised. Among
the strong arguments which
were raised against the Orion
bill was, that if it was passed it
would raise taxes of the North
western Mutual Life Insurance
Company to over 100000, a
burden which Judge Dyer the
counsel for the company said the
policy holders in the company
could i'll afford to bear. One of
the solutions which has been pro-
posed to this problem, is the as
sessment of a fair tax against
the corporations having their
offices in this state and to leave
the tax on foreign companies as
at present. The local corpora
ton would, it is said counte-
nance such a law, to prevent
retalitory taxes being imposed
upon them in other states.
The Dresser bill increasing the
minimum. fee for liquor licenses
in the state is far more sweeping
measure than most people sup
pose, and would if enacted into
a law, increase the minimum Ii
Cense in cities the size of Eagle
River, to $500 per annum. The
bill provides that in cities, villa
ges and towns of less than 49,
900 inhabitants, the minimum
license fee for the. sale Of liquor
shall be $500 and that in cities
of over 10000 inhabitants the
fees shall be 81 900.
The Committee on Penal and
Charitable institutions has re-
ported for passaget the bill giving
$4,000 appropriation to the
Home for Unfortunate women
at Eau Claire. Among the peo-
pie who were heret to argue in ia
vor of this bill, was Mrs. Upham
the wife of the ex-governor.
1t now seems likely that the
Committee on Claims will report
favorably the bill providing for
an appropriation of $4,000 for

LOWER LNTEREST MITES.

Considerable comment has been called
out by the answers obtained by the
Equitable Life Insurance Society Of
New York TO its inquiries among duan-
ciers as TO the rate of interest that it
might confidently count upon receiving
upon safe investments within the next
twenty years. Of the sixty-fve replies
received, fifty-fve named 8 to 3la per
cent as the best that could be expected.
Only four went so high as ! per cent,
three others said 80. and four went 50
low as % to 9 per cent The inquiries
We're not confined to New York CAPT
talists. but included Secretary Gage
and other weu-knoWn fnanciers in the
country.
This inevitably means an increase in
the price of the 'gilt-edged" securities,

with the stock market need be told that

The Worcester Spy calls attention to
the fact that there are no negro cor
respondents in the south of the Asso-
ciated Press, alleging that If there were
the news regarding outrages might be
different There is much Of truth in
the allegation Of discrimination against
the colored people. The managers Of
the Associated Press, however, would
be in hot water if they accepted negroes
as correspondents in the south, for all
the southern papers would rebel The
press of the south ia always unfair to
the black man and the prejudiced news
that Is published in these papers al
ways finds its way into the Associated
Press report. When we read the colored
'immunes' caused riot and bloodshed
1t is well to remember that the men

give the negro credit If he did we'll or
fail to enlarge upon his faults when

Worcester spoke in opposition 70 the
bill. he said that none Of the four

behalf Of the bill He said that the
Worcester county jails are among the
best IN the state. He thought they
could not be materially improved. and
was strongly in favor Of home rule. He
would have the management Of county
institutions left with the counties just
as towns manage town offices. The
