Seeks DELAY.

The republican organs now attempt
ing to defend the Puerto Rican tariff
infamy declare that the United States
court alone can decide the constitu-
tional question involved, and appeal
for the retention of the tariff against
Puerto Rico in order that the question
may be judicially settled. The dishon-
esty Of this plea is exposed by the case
of the importing firm of A. S. Lascel-
les s. Co., against the collector of the
port of New York. This company eX-
ported large quantities of goods from
Puerto Rico and paid tariff duties to
the amount of 100000 under protest.
The company now seeks to recover this
money and sets up that it was collect
ed Illegally, the goods being purchased
and shipped from another part of the
United States to New York. Briefly,
A. S. Lascelles s. Co., contend that the
Dingley tariff act applies only togoods
imported from foreign countries and
that Puerto Rico is not a foreign coun-
try. Are the advocates of the Puerto
Rican tariff working to secure an early
decision? Not at all. The case came
up for hearing before United States
Judge Lacombe the other day. The
government argues that the court has
no Jurisdiction, and in other ways
seeks to delay proceedings. While
pretending to desire an early adjudi-
cation of the matter the administra-
ton seeks to at least delay it until
after the n.-World-Herald.

Evidence Of Prosperity in St. Paul.


ST. Paul had $4,000 delinquents on
its tax list who under the law were to
be notified. The Pioneer Press says
the County Auditor notified $4,000
of them through the mail at cost of
$1,000, the other 5000 were notified
by the Sheriff, his fees amounting to
the sum of $9,632 which was paid by
the county. These were notices for
delinquent tax clearance sale, which
lin Minnesota, bear the same relation
to the owner as the redemption notice
required does in Iowa. When 10000
owners of real estate in st. Paul and
Ramsey county are about to have
their titles pass from them on treas
urer's deeds to the purchasers, it
would seem to be mockery for the
republican papers of ST. Paul to be
prating about the unbounded prospect
ty of its people. Their poverty made
prosperity for their Sheriff, and the
taxpayers of the county ''pay the
freight" The commissioners state
that had all the notices been served
by the Sheriff, his fees would have
been $4,000.

Is Money or Man the Ruler?

The Chicago Record adversely COM
ments on the platform this week,adopt-
ed by the Nebraska democratic state
convention, and which it regards as
"an outline of the platform which Mr..
Bryan would like to have the demo-
cratic national convention adopt" In
the course of its editorial criticism it
says:
1.-THE declaration in favor of an
amendment to the federal constitution
specifically authorizing an income tax
is oil piece with the rest of the plat
form. If the income tax is ever to be
established in this country it must be
through another appeal to the supreme
court, in the hope that that body
may be induced to reverse its last rul-
ing on this subject. The attempt to
secure an amendment of this kind in
opposition to the wishes of the wealth
OF the country cannot meet with sue
cess, because of the difficulty of amend
ing the federal constitution.
1t is a corollary that if on rehearing
the supreme court should reatfirm its
decision that the income tax is invalid
because it is direct and not levied as
the constitution provides, it willnever
be possible to tax incomes because of
the opposition of wealth. And if in
consequences of the opposition of wealth
the constitution may not be changed
SO as to provide for the taxation of in
comes it cannot 5e changed to obliter-
ate trusts or accomplish any other OBJ
ject to which wealth objects. Accept
ing the Records declaration, wealth
rules the country, and the government
of the United States, supposedly demo-
cratic. is in fact plutocratic. If for
no other reason than to determine
whether money or manhood is really
the dominant power in the republic,
the income tax plank is timely and
necessary. The Record, while con-
demning it, has unconsciously devel-
oped an overwhelming reason why it
should be made part of the Kansas
City platform. Telegraph.

or to fight the disease during its pro-
gress, the proper medicine to use is
DIR. Miles Nervine. This famous
remedy quickly eradicates the germs
and overcomes the depressing effects
Of the disease. 1t quiets and soothes
the nerves, invigorates the appetite

1t Is Always Right to Undo /;
Wrong,

We believe. and we think the people
believe, that wrong was inflicted
upon a very respectable minority of
the voters of the county in arranging
the supervisor districts. Whether
SO designed by the board, or the
political wire workers who appeared
before them, with plans for their
formation, it meant that nearly one
half the voters of the county should
be denied representation on the board;
their voice should be absolutely
silenced. 1t is entirely unnecessary
to mention names, but the desire to
cheat large class out of representa-
ton is as apparent as the tissue ballot
is, as used in Mississippi. No demo-
craft was called in consultation before
the board so far as we know. Senator
Lyons happened to be before the board
in reference TO some matter, when the
plan for TIE district; was presented
by the fugelmen of the purity which
then as be said to US he denounced as
corrupt and dishonest characterizing
it TO US at the time, as "the most
brazen piece of partizan dishonesty he
had ever beheld." And the honestmen
OF the republican party have shared
this belief as is evidenced from the
fact that two of the districts SO
organized as to be strongly republican
have since elected supervisors and
have repudiated tle wrong by elect
ing democratic members of the board.
At one time in conversation with an
ex-county officer, then a deputy in
the same Office, we dropped the remark
that the county should be divided
into supervisor districts so that there
might be one democrat on the board
TO this he replied that it could be
divided into three districts and sc
arranged that all three would be re.
liably republican. In the formation
of the districts this declared purpose
was carried out, though the result has
not been what was anticipated.
What we ask is the undoing of that
wrong, and that in undoing the utmost
care be taken not to commit one as
fragrant as the one we seek to have
corrected. With five supervisors rep.
resenting' the relative strength OF
parties in the county, no such log
rolling scheme could be pushed
through. In the. formation of the
districts, they should be so arranged
as to give an honest expression of the
will of the people in the choice of rep
resentatiyes ON the board. This
rather than subscribing the interests
of a party should be their basis. With
five districts thus formed a complete

very nervous and uneasy and had heavy
pains in the back of her head and under
shoulder blades. By noon she was so bad
that she was almost delirious and it was then
that commenced giving her DR.. Miles
Nervine. She felt the effect of the medicine
inside Of an hour, and by evening she was
quoted so that after taking full dose, she
retired and slept soundly all night. The
next morning she could not tell that she had
had the grip. This cure seems almost too
rapid to be true, but it is fact and
we think if she had taken the Nervine before
the attack it would never have come on.
Since then she has taken eight bottles of
DR.. Miles Nervine and the nervous trouble
has entirely disappeared"
