proach TO It would be the purchase of
bonds but we are now in process of
replacing all the bonds that mature soon
wi:h bonds that gill not mature for
thirty years.
II should be remembered that the
ordinary way Of raising national taxes
and the present way differ quite ma
terially. For many years the govern
ment has raised its funds from i'm
ports, spirits, beer ard tobacco. Peo-
pie have grown accustomed to this.
But for two years it has been hard
for them to bear. They are paying
taxes on medicines and all sorts of
proprietary articles now. on almost
every character OF public document
and on many occupations. They are
burdens upon business. evaded by
wealth and borne By the
masses of The people.
These taxes should be removed. All
our wars are over. We are only doing
police duty now in the Philippines and
have only to deal with struggling
bands of armed insurgents, according
to the latest official reports. Unless
the administration proposes to keep
up its present rate of extravaganza
there is no legitimate excuse for
Of war taxes in time of
peace.
The present revenue threatens

York. Then let the country have the
needed relief now while congress is in
session, while the bill is pending. The
majority party is shOrt-sighted. 1t
has chosen the wrong alternative, as
trying to explain to the people why it
retains these taxes than it would now
find in determining which taxes to
remove.

lNsuLAR EXPLOITATION.

When the fraud and corruption which
have characterized the present admin
istrauon become so shameful that a
hide-bound Republican senator from
the rock-ribbed Republican stronghold
of Maine cries out against it, the pres
ident and his advisers would better call
a halt Il viii be impossible to longer
cover up with the American flag all
the robbery and chicanery committed
or contemplated by friends of the aG-
ministratio Exposures are coming
thick and fast. Systematic schemes
for bleeding the government and
fleeing the islands are being brought
to light
Every source of revenue from insular
business in Cuba and Porto Rico is in
the hands of a political syndicate.
There is a clique of money-makers
at washington bleeding Cuba as no
Spanish robber ever dared to try
Charles W. Nicely a personal friend of
Assistant Postmaster General Perry 5.
Heath, is a member of this syndicate.
He has embezzled over a half million
dollars and the department of justice
at Washington seems determined to
place every. Imaginable obstacle in the
way of his punishment.
Is this the way TO treat a sacred
trust held in the name of humanity?
Is this the secret of Imperialism? Is
this the reason the retention of Cuba
is being advocated in this country? Is
this the explanation of that un-Amer-
lean decision TO govern the islands out
side of the constitution
It seems that the entire insular post
al service was organized on the basis
of sordid greed. Every other depart
ment of insular government IS out
lined on the seine plan. No wonder
the Cubans are restless. No wonder
the Porto Ricans are dissatisfied. No
wonder the FiIipinos object to a
change of masters.
Senator Hale is convinced that a
syndicate is at work trying to make
the administration break the solemn
pledge of this government to the Gu
bans. He has discovered the exist
ence of the money-making clique
which hopes TO exploit the islands
wrested from Spain in the name of
humanity. He believes that monied
gang has arranged TO steal Cuba. At
ter the Neelys and the rest of the
carpet-baggers have stolen every thing
portable this greater syndicate may as
well gobble up the island
one thing is certain. The Nelly en-
bezzlement IS no chance theft. It is a
part of q big game. He is one of a
large gang with headquarters at Wash
ington, The gang should be broken
up. The best way TO do this is to
turn the rascals out in November.

WAR TAXES TO REMAIN.

No effort viii be made to remove the
war taxes during this session of con
gress. The Democratic members unan-
imously demand a reduction at once.
The leader of the Republican majority
says ct viii be unsafe to remove them
at this time, and his party stands by
him. So the matter viii go over until
another congress meets. and how much
longer may depend upon the result of
the election this fall.
Meanwhile, notwithstanding the
enormous sums expended in exter-
minating the Filipinos. surplus of
SOC ,000, GOO has been accumulated by
these taxes this year, a large per-
centage of which IS deposited in the
STANDARD Oil banks Of New York.
These banks get the use of this money
for nothing; they loan it back to the
people from whom it was collected and
charge interest thereon; they have
made hundreds of thousands of dol
lars that way in the past few months.
and all because the stockholders of
these banks We're heavy contributors
Republican leaders are anxious to
have as little said as possible con-
corning revenue legislation at this
time, owing to the approach of the
presidential election.
This is case where the business
interests of the country are made to
suffer for the sake of the politicians.
The surplus revenue at the end of the
fiscal year next month viii be $4,000. =

TURKS TAKE WASHINGTON.

Admiral Ahmed Pasha. of his sui
tanic majesty's navy, is in this coun-
try on a tour of friendly inspection.
While in Washington yesterday. he saw
a parade of Mystic Shriners. He was
elated. He clapped his hands in glee
as the procession moved along Penn
sylvania avenue. It was as if he had
been suddenly transported to his ma
tive capital The air was full of cres-
cents, stars and scimeters; every
head seemed covered with a crimson
fez; the band played Turkish airs, and
ever and anon the gobbler gobbled. It
was a regular Thanksgiving day for
Ahmed Pasha.
He doubtless felt for the moment as
if an attempt had been made to collect
that little bill against the sultan; that
his majesty had resented the insult
and had sent an army of invasion to
take and hold Washington until the
president should agree 70 dun him no
more.
Allah is great. but he couldn't do
that. He has his limitations.

Mo0lure's Magazine for January.

DR.. Watson ("Ian Mac,aren'Dmakes
a fine beginning of his "Liie of the
Master" in Nc CURES Afagasiue for
January with chapters covering the
period Of youth and childhood. His
metho is to make full and coherent
record of the outer, material facts, but
at the same time to make plain all of
the inner, spiritual significance and
the result is presentation interesting
as pure narrative and yet of high
poetic and devotional quality. The
same aim appears also in Mr.. c. X.
Linson's pictures. Of these there are
eight beautiful full page pictures in
color--a feat in color reproduction be-
yond anything previously attempted
in magazine work and number of
smaller, but scarcely less beautiful,
pictures in black and white.
Mark Twain contributes a sketch
in which he professedly betrays the
confidence of w. ID. Howells, Gable,
Stockton, Aldrich, and other brother
authors, by telling us what has been
the abiding (and, of course, unreal
ized) ambition of each. Howell's life
disappointment, for example, is that
he could not be an auctioneer. Mark
consolingly adds poem dedicated to
these heart-stricken brethren-a poem
1t is safe to say, such as only Mark
Twain himself could write.
Other interesting contributions are
Governor Boutwelrs recollections of
Blaine and Conkling and their rivalry
in the Republican national convention
of $50; an account of the way IN
which an artificial heat OF nearly 1000
degrees is now generated and govern
ed to daily service in an American
factory; a popular explanation, by
Prof Smon Newcomb, of how astrono-
mers weigh the planets and Lieuten-
ant Peary's account of his last years
work In the Arctic, especially of his
two visits to Greelys deserted house
