Condemning P%ettigrsw's Statements.

ITHACA. n Y, Feb, 8, 1900.

that he tried TO bride the insurgents rs near ~ we

made anywhere else I should not have paid any at
tention to II; but IA 1t has been made In the Senate

absolutely without foundation. Very truly yours.
-. q. ScHuRMAS."
Mr.. Depew pointed out that when MIR. Petit
Crews speech was being made. Mr.. Schurman
was in Washington. as was also Admiral
Dewey. He might have applied for informa-
ton to Admiral Dewey aud President Schur-
man, whose statements would be received by
the people without question. The senator had
based his contention on an alleged proclania-
ton Of ARuinaldo's. translated by an anony-
nous translator and published without any
certificate OF authenticity. That testimony.
Mr.. Depew declared. deserved no consideration
and was oil no value.
THE facts. or alleged facts stated by the

PROPOSED TAX ON MORTGAGES.
The Tax Committee Bill opposed In
Behalf of the Farmers.


ALBANY. Feb. IA Joint hearing on the bill
introduced by the Legislative Tax Investi-
cation Committee. which taxes mortgages and
the stock Of banks. was to-day before the
Taxation Committees OF the two houses Of the
Legislature. Next Wednesday afternoon an
other Joint hearing will be accorded the rep
resentatives of the Saving Banks and Street
Railroad Corporations. To-day's hearing did
not attract the representatives OF any i'm
portant financial interests.
Mr.. Thomas VI. Gilchrist OF West Carlton.
Saratoga county. opposed the taxation Of
mortgages in the interest Of the farmers. He
said that during the hard times several years
ago. the savings banks and life insurance COM
panies forcclosed the mortgages they held In
that vicinity. and that he took them up IN order
to save the farmers from ruin. He said
that through this process he was compelled
to take 1000 acres Of farm land. and
that he could realize but sc per cent.
on the 100000 he had loaned on
such property, He said that many Of his
mortgages did not net more thar , per cent.
on account OF the inability of ia" mortgage
to pay the q per cent. interest called for. and
he preferred to allow the mortgage to work
the farm rather than take possession. He
asserted that it was becoming harder and
harder every year to secure loans on farm
property, and that we were booming a nation
Of landlords and tenants to such a degree that
we would rival the Old PATRON system before
long.
Mr.. william A. Cans. representing the Benai
Berth aud the Free sons OF Israel If%raternal or
ganizati ons Of New York said that they had re.
serve funds a~Rgregating S1,5O0,OOO Invested
in mortgages and would be subject 10 q tax OF
$500 a year under this bill. He thought that
f%raternal organizations should not be com-
PEELED to nay a tax upon mortgages held
through their reserve funds. IA thew exist for
the purpose of aiding windows and orphans.
Mr.. John 7. McKechnie. representing Metro
poltan Building and Loan organizations,
thought that the mortgages held by these as
sociations should not be subject to q tax.

Advice TO South Carolina.

At every commencement exercise 10
Wellington, some young graduate Just
out of his books must devote his
Jratorical powers to the solution OF
the suffrage question in the south.
The suffrage question in the south
is as badly misrepreSented as the
Armenian maSSacreS and the COndi-
tioa Of the serfS OF Europe. 1t is a
political question, and as Overdrawn
by the political nress as the eastern
press reports OF Kansas cyclones and
drOuths. It's question which South
Carolina has right TO settle without
the interference Of any other state.
The decision Of the United States
supreme court in the Kentucky con-
UrOversy settles this.
Should the South Carolina schools
make the discussion Of the incODsiS-
tencies Of the Kansas prOhibitory law
and the theory Of increased rainfall
for Kansas a feature Of their com
mencement exercises, Kansas would
probably look upon South Carolina as
impudent.
II seems as if the Kansas schools
would take the mint.
