Garrison's Estimate of Senator Hear.

Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison, of
Boston, says that in examining the
record of Senator Hoar the historian
of the future will read:
"He saw the injustice and inhuman
ity of shutting out the old world
refugees from the United States, and
protested vigorously against the anti
immigration bill voting Immediately
for its enactment. He was heartily
opposed % the war with Spain, but
when the act was forced fastened to
pronounce 1t one of humanity, and to
consent to an appropriation of $50,
900, 900 to he placed in the Presi-
dents hands without cOnditions-a
precedent full of danger. H. pleaded
eloquently IN the Senate against the
seizure aud annexation of Hawaii,
then promptly voted to COnsnmmate
the wrong. He made the effort of
his life to balk the national piracy Of
the Philippines; and, having pilored
the conspiracy and cOnspirators with
rhetorical briIliancy, advocated before
his words were cold, the re e.ction of
the responsible President and admin.
istIation."

The Chinese Situation.

Every day the Chinese situation
grows worse. Nothing short of a
miracle can now avert a general war
into which this country will be inevi.
tably drawn without cause. Indeed,
the refusal of the President to call
an extra session Of congress to con.
slider the situation may have the eff.
feet of precipitatipg this country into
war without the consent Of congress.
The President claims to have
sufficient power to justify him to act
and the shipment of troops to Chiua
has begun. When war has in effect
been declared, the President may call
congress together to vote him more
men and pay the bills. That is the
imperialistic way into which have
drf'ed, and which will yet involve
the country into disaster and ruin.

Some Opposition to a Change.

We gather from street talk that
there Is considerable opposition to
the adoption of act 136 of 1898,
which will he voted on Monday next.
People have been reading the act and
placing their own construction on it,
Some approve of it; some condemn it;
while Others object to this or that
provision in it. 1t is much to be feared
that the act was placed in the hands
Of the people too short a time before
the election for Its general provisions
to have been thoroughly digc ,ted and
assmllated by the mass of voters.
1t is voluminons act, containing
multifarious provisions, and from the
discussions heard on the streets
many objections to 1t seem to be
founded upon a miscOnstructiOn of
some of its provisions.
That it should he read. studied and
diges,ed by the voters is quite proper
but 1t would be unfortunate if it
should be rejected on want of
proper appreciation Of it's merits
Many Of the objections which we
have been informed are urged against
change, are. it seems to us, without
foundation. Some even object to
certain provision, granting powers To
the town council which that body
already possesses under the present.
charter. OILERS are opposed to any
change whatever, being content to
keep the town in the little straight
jacket made for it fifty-four years
ago when it was little village, and
their fathers went hunting in the
woods where now stand dwelling
| houses.
Thus for one objection or another
as matters are situated To day
many votes will be cast against til,
adoption of act 136 next Monday
which would not be so cast, had tho
voters had better opportunities u
more critically study the provision:
of the law and to thoroughly master
tn subject.
The time is short between now ant
the election, but the SENTINEL woul'
strongly urge every voter to give th'
subject his most dispssslopate consl
deratiOn, with a view of casting hi:
vote OH Monday for what he will be
lieve to be for the general welfare
No other motive should control an,
mans vote on that day.

An exchange says that alcohol will
remove grass stains from summer
clothes. The exchange is right 1t
will also remove the summer clothes,
and also the spring, autumn and
winter clothes, not only from the
man who drinks it, but also from his
wife and family. 1t will remove the
furniture fiom the house, and the
eatables from the pantry; the smiles
from the face of his wife, and the
happiness from the home. As
remover of things, alcohol has few
eauals.-TOwn Talk.

The Philadelphia Times has made
the discovery that Democratic pros.
poets are brighter than they we're
four years ago. 1t says that there are
a hundred thousand voters IN that
city who are opposed to the Mckinley
administration and its trust and
imperial policies, and while it does
not expect all of them to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall they will
certainly poll one third more votes
for Bryan IN 1900 than they did
four years ago, and it is quite proba-
Bile the gain may be larger. This,
coming from newspaper that is not
friendly to Mr.. Bryan, shows that
he is stronger now than he was in
1896. Philadelphia is the last city in
the United States in which to expect
Democratic gains.-States.

An Unfoundad Fear.

1t IS rumOred that some people
oppose the adoption of act 1876 he
cause they have been told and believe
and fear that, under its provisions,
the town council could raise the as
Of property at pleasure and
without limit.
This objection and the fear spring
ing from it are absolutely without
foundation, for article 225 of the
constitution provides, among other
things, that "the valuations put upon
property for the purposes of State
taxation shall be taken as the proper
valuation for purposes of local taxa
tion, in every subdivision of the
State"
That settles the question in no
event can the municipal assessment
ever exceed the state assessment.

Will Be Exempt From Parochial Ii
cences.

Among other provisions of at 1856,
cities and towns having more than
two thousands inhabitants have the
power "to levy and collect a license
tax upon and regulate all callings,
tra,'es, professions and occupations
conducted, pursued, carried on, or
operated within the limits of the city
or town, and when the license taxes
equal in amount to those levied by
the police jury for paroch,al purposes
there shall not be collected"
Thus, as ours is town having
more than two thousand inhabitants
our merchants and business men will
be exempt from paying parochlal
licenses, should act 136 be adopted,
the instant the municipal licenses
equal those levied by the police jury
for parochial purposes.
