The War Taxes.

Is Congress, which, at this session, has
gone to hitherto unheard of lengths TO
please and crafty the trusts, going home
without the smallest attempt TO do any
thing for the people? 1t is notorious and
admitted on all hands that the internal
revenue war taxes are no longer necessary
10 the support of the Government, and
that they are producing huge and en-
bsrrassing surplus in the Treasury. What
is the excuse for continuing them?
We are aware that the Administration
thinks it has sufficient reason to forbid
remedial legislation on this subject Until
after the Presidential election. There are
friendly conveniences of a financial char
acter, involved in having an extra and
idle seventy or eighty millions on hand.
which can be loaned free of charge. and
earn good money for those who handle it
in the stock market; and, if allowed to
roll up. this congesting surplus many en-
courage liberal appropriations in the future
when it may be party assumption that
a great deal of river and harbor improve
ment" will be necessary to pay political
debts in the back country But. there is
and one which deserves the notice of even
those dominating influences which only re-
gard things in the light of trust or organi-
cation expediency.
The people assumed the burden of the
war taxes with cheerfulness. They would
bear them now without murmur if that
were necessary. As they know it is not.
and that they are being exploited for no
public good. they are tired of the system
and want it abolished. and at once. Every
time an American voter draws a check
or sends a telegram or an express package
he is reminded that direct taxes, and
especially little stamp taxes, are a nui-
sance. In theory he may consider the
Dingley customs tariff, which enriches the
trusts at the expense OF the home con-
sumer. as a vicious and tyrsnnical OPP
preston; but it does not come home TO
him dozen times day as the pestifer-
Gus stamp tax does. Every small vial of
proprietary medicine he is called upon TO
buy, with its fractional war label, tends TO !
excite his wrath at an Administration
which milks the masses Of their pennies |
until they count up into hundreds of thou /
sands of dollars. And when the upright I
citizen buys a cigar or a five-cent paper /
OF tobacco he is not apt to forget that he 1
and other consumers like him in the single /
year of 1899 contributed in extra war
taxes the handsome sum of SIT. 269. 6S5.27.
Do the Republican leaders in Congress /
fancy that they can safely allow this dis /
content of the people TO grow. while they /
busy themselves with the Subsidy BILL to /
hand over gratuity of ninety million dol /
lars to a dozen or less plutocratic monop-
olists. and other measures of similar fla
grancy? Are they completely imbued with |
the Vanderbiltian idea of the public be /
damned"

TAYLoR's SOLDIERS LEAVING.
Less Apprehension of Trouble at the
Kentucky Capital.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 16.-Now that
the Gubernatorial contests have reached
the United States court and have been
docketed for hearing on April 80, ard the
final steps in the case are being taken,
there is less apprehension here About
thirty OF the two hundred Tay.or soldiers
who have been doing garrison duty here
in holding the State buildings since Goebel
was shot, were ordered home this after
noon. The Court of Appeals returned 10
their consulting rooms in the State buili-
ings today, and will begin to hold regu ar
sessions tomorrow in the courtroom for
the first time since the present unsettie1
condition of affairs in the State.
r. C. o. Benjamin. the co,ored attorney
representing "Tallow Dick Combs. argued
the motion for writ of habeas corpus re-
fore Judge Cantrill today. Attorney B. G.
Williams represented the Commonwealth.
Benjamin argued from the ground that the
warrant upon which Combs was arrested
as an accessory to the murder OF Goe1el
did not rame the principal, and that the
prisoners could not be held on the wa!-
rant Judge Cantrill took the case unCer
Amusement.
A new warrant may be issued The
grand jury is still busily engaged in in
vestigating the alleged plot for the assas-
sination of Goebel and will not make final
report before the last of the week. 1t is
said that number of indictments have
been returned to the judge under seals and
will not be opened till a final report is
made. This will leave only two weeks
within which cases could be tried. and
owing to the fact that the docket is full
there is no possibility that the cases could
be tried at this term of court.
The case against former Congressman
David G. Coson. charged with the murder
OF Ethelbert Scott and Luther Demaree
will be called tomorrow and the case will
probably go to trial. A large number of
witnesses. interested friends, and attor-
neys for the defendant arrived here to-
day. II the case should not be taken up
for any reason application for bail will be
made.

advantages of the new scheme and the old

81 think Gen. Joe Wheeler very happily hit off
Presidential line Soon after he returned
from the Philippines. you remember, there
was good deal OF talk about General Wheeler
being put on the Democratic ticket for Vice
President. He brushed the matter aside by the
declaration that the mention Of his name was due
TO the partiality of personal friends and had no
other significance. That is exactly the way |

SYSTEM OF LOCAL POOLS.
Plan That VIII Probably BE Adopt
ed by Western Roods


CHICAGO, June 19-Presidents of west
ern railroads met here today To evolve
some plan by which rate decentralization
might be avoided and the revenues of
Ihelr respective roads increased thereby
Inc plan which it is believed Will be ac-
cepted IS practically a system of local
pools under which the gross tonnage of
the various roads will be equitably an
pordoned. The plan was indorsed in a
general way by the presidents at their
recent meeting in New York, and was
turned over to various committees of diff
ferent roads to be framed I'M in detail
Inc details have been considered by these
committees and the whole plan. Which
aims to regulate the passenger ana
freight business in western association
territory laid before the presidents.
Inc plan, however, provides for the
DIVISION OF the territory west of Chicago
and st. Louis into local districts. Chica-
go-St. Paul lines will form one district
or group; Chicago-Omaha lines another
group, and so on in western passenger
and freight association territory. The
mead OF each district will be a commit
tee composed Of the traffic officials of
each railroad line in the district. At their
mead, according to the plan, there will
pe a JOINT agent, whose duty if shall he
to see that the committee works in bar-
mony with itself.
Questions affecting the whole organiza-
ton of local districts will be laid before
general committee composed Of oil
the local committees.
The committees are at all times to
Keep in close touch with the executives
AT present the plan is not expected To he
