out an increasing dependence upon
the State, that the limit of appro-
priations has been reached and
that the tendency to extravaganza
must be halted-then will it not be
in vain. 1t should be remembered
that it is never wealth that bears
the burden of taxes, but the aver
age man who works for wages. A
corporation as such does not pay
the taxes, but cuts down the divi-
dend on it's stock, often owned by
the widow and orphan; the manu-
facturer pays his tax by lowering
wages; the house owner by increas-
ed rent; the MORTGAGE by higher
rate of interest, and so on. Tax
alton touches every man, woman
and child in the State, and for this
reason we have always been on the
side of judicious economy in the
matter of appropriations

The Governors Veto.

Governor Stone has cut the pub
lie school appropriation one million
dollars for the next two years;
the Normal Schools are deprived of
half their appropriations, and other
reductions will make total reduc-
ton of 81, ,155, 900 in the State
educational system. Other appro-
priation measures are also disap-
proved. All this comes from the
fact that the State has not suffi-
cient funds to pay already due and
past obligations and meet others in
the near future. Had the Senate
passed the revenue bills the House
adopted there would have been no
trouble about sufficient revenues.
1t may be that after all some good
will come out of the Governors s
act, although in the matter of the
school appropriations the unexpect-
edness of his veto will upset the
calculations of school boards
throughout the State and cause
more or less temporary embarass-
ment. But, generally speaking,
there is tendency to unduly in
crease appropriations all along the
line, which stimulates the building
Of private hospitals and starting
many another enterprise, simply to
either benefit some egotistical in
dividual or get money out of the
State for personal appropriation.
There is even a danger of the dem
agogue unduly and selfshly en-
dowing our deservedly popular and
necessary public school system, at
the cost of local interest in the
same, and to inequitably support
the poorer counties at the expense
of the richer. 1t is well known
now that certain districts depend
upon the State almost entirely for
the support of their schools, and
so members from such constituent
cies will rashly expend the States
money for sort of plea for re-
election. 1t must be remembered
that practically all this taxation
comes from corporations and
various industrial enterprises. To
increase the levy will not only
burden those works in existence,
but drive new ones to States where
taxation is lower and appropria-
tions smaller. IF, therefore, the
Governors pruning knife demon
strates that we can get along with

The other delegate elected is

gIess and a close friend of Senator
Quay. The only opposition was

A Stone on Which We Can Safely
Build.

Punxs'y Spirit.
The American people admire a
man of force-one who has indi-
viduality and a will, and who will
not be swayed by every breeze of
opinion that blows. They like a
man who will dare to do what he
believes to be right, whether it
is popular or not-who does all
things from a sense of duty, and
nothing for buncombe. Governor
Stone appears to be that kind of a
man, and we predict that he will
be more popular at the end of his
term as Governor than he was as a
candidate. Thus far nobody has
been disappointed in him, much
less his friends.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, MAY 22d. 1899

" "Aohl'oIoNs AhetJ AGu. 1000.
President Mckinley is again on
duty at the White House. His
two weeks rest at the Hot Springs
appear to have done him lots of
good, and he says his rheumatic
pains have entirely disappeared.
His return and the Peace Jubilee,
which is to be held this week, have
attracted a number of prominent
men to Washington, for the pur
pose of combining business and
pleasure. Among them are friends
of several of the candidates for
Speaker of the House. The most
interesting news of the Speaker
ship contest, is the statement, APP
parently well founded, that friends
of Representatives Sherman and
Henderson have made an agree
ment whereby each is made the
second choice of the other, the
idea being to make sure that one
or the other of them gets elected.
But Representative Payne, who is
himself in Washington, and the
friends of Representative Hopkins,
who are quite numerous say they
take no stock in any such agree
ment.
Representatives of Aguinaldo
have had another conference with
the American Philippine Commits
sioners and have been again told
that the only way for the Filipinos
to get a cessation of hostilities is
to except the unconditional sur
render terms of Gen. Otis.
The feeling is general in official
circles that the Cuban army has
been allowed rope enough and that
they must either surrender their
arms or refuse to surrender them
at once. If they refuse the chances
are that they will be made to do
so. President Mckinley and his
advisers have been disposed to
treat these men very leniently and
to humor their whims to as great
an extent as possible, without Civ
ing them the idea that they were
able to dictate to us, but there is a
limit to patience, and by their
backing and filling and pickering
among themselves, the Cubans
have very near reached that Of the
administration. 1t is the under
standing now that the disarma-
ment is to begin the latter part of
this week, but there have been
other similar agreements that have
not been carried out.
Intelligent men from nearly
every section of the South and
West bring similar reports to
Washington concerning the loss of
prestige by Bryan and silver. Col.
p. Lannon, Editor of the Salt Lake
(Utah) Tribune, who is visiting
Washington said ''The most
ardent believers in free silver are
forced to admit that the issue is
about dead. The trend of events
since '96 has forced it into oblivion
and however much we may adhere
to the white metal from principle,
it has been eliminated as living
factor in the politics of the day.
AS for Col. Bryan, while many of
us admire him, it must be said
that his prestige is on the wane.
But no matter whether the Demo-
Gratis name Bryan or some other
man, Mckinley is going to succeed
himself" Col. Lannon says of
the case of Roberts, thepolygamist
representative-elect: "If his claim
to membership in the House is re-
jected, as it ought to be, there will
be good ground for national re-
joicing."

ROhhed the Grave

pain cen tiuually i'll back and sides,
no appetite, gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physie-
ians had given me up. Fortunately
a friend advised trying Electric

surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks. and arm

tests between the two boats, but
when the Columbia in Saturdays
race outrun the Shamrock by nearly
eleven minutes, there was great re-
joicing among all lovers of the yacht
ing sport. A great deal of sym
pathy was felt for Sir Thomas Lip
ton on Monday when his boat be-
came disabled, and according to the
rules of the contest the American
boat sailed oyer the course alone.
Sir Thomas proved himself to be a
thorough gentleman and true
sportsman in the crisis. AS the
Columbia sailed on alone some sug-
gested in his presence the hope that
the wind die and the race might not
be lost to the Shamrock after all.
Il wish for nothing of the kind, "
said Sir Thomas, emphatically.
Under the conditions governing the
contest, we have lost this race as
fairly as if we had gone over the
course without mishap, and the
other boat had finished first. |
would not under any circumstances
wish or consent that this race be
sailed again; as I have no doubt the
Columbia will cover the distance
within the time limit"
Even though Sir Thomas will 60
back home without the cup he can
feel as though he has won the hearts
OF the American people, and if the
cup had to go nearly every one
would much rather see it captured by
the owner of the Shamrock than any
for mer ontestant for it. i

before the war Dewey's name was un-
known save in official circles at Wash
ington, but today be was known as the
hero in time of heroes. He spoke of
Dewey as an American product, born
in America, trained in America, and
an example of what an American can
do when fighting with American ships
and American guns. With the victory
of Dewey the United States had taken
on responsibilities unparalleled in the
history of the world; but we must meet
them like Americans. We owe a hu-
manitarian duty to the world and we
must educate, civilize and christianze
the nations won for us by the guns in
the turrets of the Olympia.
The influence of Force.
The last formal toast OF the evening
was delivered by Judge Russell 81.
Slosson on the subject of "The Infu-
ence of Force on Civilization and
Humanity" In introducing his re-
marks Judge Slosson prefaced them by
saying that they were impromptu, and
to prove it he had written them down.
Judge Slosson said in part that war
has it's victories as we'll as peace.
Force was the foundation of all civil
action, and the existence of nations
today was not so much due to the sur
vival of the fittest as to the sacrifice of
the best. Force means war, but war
means progress. 1t means the sunder-
ing Of homes, the breaking of women's
hearts, the devastation Of nations and
the death of loved ones, but it makes
an opening for the advance of
civilization.
Force, said Judge SlossOn, has
played an important part in the history
of our country. Force impelled the
colonial soldiers to fight at Bunker
Hill. Force made the bloody footprints
on the snow at Valley Forge; but it
also wrote the Declaration of indie
pendence and the constitution which
made us a united nation. Force
caused hundreds of men to fall at Bulls
Bluff, at Antietam, at Gettysburg, but
it made negros citizens. Force
caused Americans to struggle at
Manila and caused them to fall at San
tiago and in the terrific charges at San
Juan hill, but it also opened the way
for the entrance of broader and
nobler civilization into countries long
bound in Spanish slavery.
After Judge Sloason's remarks Toast
master Grant read short selection
from "Mr. Dooley" on the fall of
Manila and Rev. Naylor and johnson
Jackson were called on for impromptu
speeches,
