Abolish the War Tax.

On every hand there is an especially
strong undercurreDt of opposition to
the con inuance of the war tax, and in
several cases the expressions are more
than emphatic and alarming to the
administration. The latest protest
comes from the Merchants Association
of New York, the members of which
recently had hearing before the Ways
and Means Committee of the House.
Mr.. A. J. Baldwin. presen'e ed the mat
ter in strong light, and in the course
of his remarks said:
ga tax upon the interchange of COM
moditles was detrimental to the bust
ness world, and if the time had come
when the finances of the government
were in such a condition that it would
warrant a reduction in stamp taxes the
abolition Of taxes ulon shipments
made by express, freight and steanl-
ship, and also the tax upon telegraus,
should also be abolished.
I'm case your committee is not of
the opinion that the time has come
when these taxes may be abolished"
continued Mr.. Baldwin, "then we
earnestly request change or modi-
fication 20 that the burdens of these
stamp taxes shall be more equitably
distributed The express companies
should bear their share of the national
taxes. Although the wording of the
statute indicates plain intention on
the part of Congress to levy tax upon
express con- panies, nevertheless they
refuse TO pay those taxes and the Su.
preme Court of the United States has
decided that the express companies
can shift their burden upon the sender.
mo line of industry has proven SO
universally profitable as thatIof the ex-
press companies. They are largely cap
italized. They have a tremendous
earning power Take for instance, the
Adams Express Company, with an in
vestment of less than 100000 it is
capitalized at 100000"

Inconsistency, these are faults to which
Mr.. Mckinley must also plead guilty.
1t is mortal certainty that Mr.
Bryan could never be forced by party
leaders to abandon what he had pro
claimed to be plain duty. Believing
in bimetallism (as Mr.. Mckinley did
before the st. Louis convention), MIR.
Bryan would not stand on a gold plat
form in order to be President or to be
king. We are finding no fault with
Mr.. Mckinley for his judicious sur
render to the dictation of Senator
Platt in 1896, but are merely suggest
ing that the President has been no
more constant in his opinions and in
his views as to what was his plain
duty than has been the man whose

to worship and adore. You are the
God of my happiness, my love and my
life. | pust worship you beyond all
else that exists. To you, love do l
owe all my joys that have been and
that are ito come. There lis MO use for
anyone to try ito persuade me ito get

you alone, for / will not heed them
My dear you said, What if you should
die?' You will not; you are meant
for my consolation. If anything should
ever happen TO you why, my dear
Howard, it would end my life forever.

while walking along the pier extend
ing out into the river, little Alice slip
ped and fell into the river.
Although unable to swim a stroke,
Miss Groves pluckily leaped into the
river to try to rescue her niece. She
was by Alice's side in a moment, and
both battled desperately in the effort
to keep afloat. They finally sank
together in each Others grasp
Meanwhile persons in the park had
heard the loud cries for assistance,
and hurried to the pier They i'm
mediately diyed into the river in an
effort to get the bodies, but the search
was futile.

Toastinu the General.

At a family party where young PEG,
pie predominated, the grandmother of
a dozen lively boys and girls suggest
ed a game which had been in vogue
in her childhood. With the substitu-
ton of the name Of the President for
that she gave, the game was played
with great success and much merri-
ment.
1T was called 'Toasting the Gen
eral,'" she said, "and was handed
down from my grandmother, who was
contemporary of George Washington.
The boys and girls were seated
around the table, and a glass Of water
was placed before each one The lead
er took up his glass, saying gravely,
I drink to the health of Gen George
Washington! Then he nodded his
head once, took one sip of water, and
touched the bottom of his glass once
to the table before setting it down.
He then patted the table once with
his right hand and the floor once with
his right foot This formula went
around the table
Next the leader said, 4 drink for
the second time to the health of Gen.
George Washington. AS he took up his
glass he nodded twice, took two sips
of water, touched his glass twice to
the table, patted the table twice with
his left hand and the floor twice with
his left foot. This again went the
rounds
"Then the leader raised his glass
again, saying, ] drink for the third
and last time to the health of Gen.
George Washington nodded three
times, took three sips of water, touch
ed his glass three times to the table,
patted the table three times, first with
his left and then with his right hand,
and the first with his left and then
with his right foot.
'This ended the game, save for the
forfeits which were called in conse-
quence of mistakes. And there was
scarcely a person in the room who
had not nodded or slipped in the wrong
order, or patted too many or too few
times, or with the wrong hand or foot
so there was much sport
