A LAW THAT WORKS

The following illustrates how east
" a tax law works in California when
the assessors choose to make it oper-
alive. A Bakersfield dispatch says:
Assessor Jameson has placed the
penalty the law allows upon Bedsrt
Bros, well-to-do sheep 1aisers. Que
of the firm. when asked the number
of sheep and lambs in the flock,
swore that they possessed 1900 of the
former and 1900 of the latter, but the
deputy, suspecting the returns to be
false, hit upon a plan to test The
statement and verified his suspicious.
Bedart had just finished counting the
tails off his lambs, and the deputy
counted the pile into which they had
been thrown and found it to contain
1900. At the rate of one tail 20 each
lamb this made the differ nee s,et~ cen
the return and the truth 600, which
was multiplied by two, anI the as
sessment made accordingly. The
same process was gone through with
GOO extra sheep. and Bedart Bros.
were glad to pay taxes On $4,000
worth of property which they did not
possess, since payment Of the amount
kept them out Of Jail.
The law of Nevada is practically
the same as California, but whoever
heard of man who suffered any pen
atty in Nevada for swearing to false
return

DIVIDING THE PLUMBER

Burke Cochran, who supported Nc
Kinley in the last election, thus
writes ef the Puerto Rico bill.
The bill to fix the conditions gov
erniug commercial intercourse with
Puerto Rico, has proved to be an at
ten pit to divide the plumber before the
cruise began. The result was newt
able, and would probably have been
foreseen. Ii Providence. in His wis
dom, did not sometimes choose TO pre-
tect the rights of honest nen by the
quarrels Orwell, Of other meu. The
protected interests and the political
interests have come to blows,
The unctuous phrases, with which
the President very probably deceived
himself when he undertook to perve1:
a war of humanity into wal Of con-
quest, were flung back in his face by
his mutinous followers.
The purpose is no longer concealed
to govern our pe.s territories, not fol
the welfare of their inhabitants, bal
primarily for Our own profit. Love
for humanity is scattered to the WING
and thurst for gain acknowledge t.
be the controlling motive. The fas
of civilization is torn down; the Jolly
Roger floats triumphartly on th'
breeze. The missionary is tramples
under foot, while the buccaneers dis
pute. The fat is in the fire, ard b,
the light Of the fame we can Sc
what hell-Droth it is that these i'm
periaIis.s are brewing.

THOUSANDS VIEWED REMAINS

other Thousands Were Turned

OF Senator Cushman X. Davis, and
other Thousands Were Turned
Away.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 30.-For
five hours to-day a steady stream of
people of all ages and conditions slow
ly filed through the Governors rooms
in the State capitol to take last look
on the silent and lifeless body, in
which for sixty-two years had been
housed the indomitable spirit and clear
brain of Cushman Kellogg Davis, for
mer Governor and for thirteen years
leader in the Senate of the United
States. The occasion was an impress
i've one and every one in the long line
seemed to realize the loss that had
come to the State of Minnesota and
the nation. Nearly 10000 people
passed the silent form, paying their
last tribute of respect with look of
regret and in some cases with a sob
as if for a personal loss. Not alone
tn epeople of his home city, but from
all parts of the Setate came citizens
of all creeds and politics, of all colors
and conditions in life to show their
esteem for the honored dead.
At 8 o'clock the line of people
seemed to be without end and it was
found necessary to close the doors,
turning thousands away. The coffin
wa sagain carried to the hears by the
stalwart artillerymen and proceeded
back to the statesman's late home.
where the bereaved wife and the
stricken parents awaited in sorrow for
their dead.
